I thought it was 65 Million years ago, like the Jurassic Park movie says, get the story straight.
@@chickenwings6172 jurassic park also thinks a t. rex can’t see you if you stand still
Don't look up! 😂
sup Thoughty :))
i like your style bud. haven't subscribed yet but maybe one day. non the less, when i get a Thoughty vid pop up in my feed. im like "hell yeah. ok yeah now i got something better to watch" lol.. so cheers to your brother.
Thanks for making these informative videos. I've learned a lot from your channel in the last 2-3 years.
When I was a child I was taught in school that the great impact was 65 million years ago. Now it's 66 million.
Time goes by so fast!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
👏👏👏👏👏
I think it’s more that older methods calculated that it happened around 65.5 million years ago and most people rounded down, but more modern dating methods have given us a date of 66.038 million years ago, plus or minus 11,000 years
Wow almost like technology changes every year never would of thought!
@@DIRTYPLACCY was the swoosh loud when OPs comment went over your head? 🤦
Of all the sci fi movies over the years that have predicted the future, who would've thought that Armageddon would be potentially the most accurate.
Or Don't Look Up!
Right😅😂 loved that movie tho 🥲
Alien is far closer, minus the alien shit
Ah yes, it's much easier to train oil drillers to work in space than it is to teach an astronaut to use a drill.
@@dyent 😂
But, I need my own guys if you want me to do this for you. Astronauts don't know jack about drilling!
For many years ive watched your videos. Im sure i speak for all the viewers here when i say, Thank you for your wonferful work!! Very insightful, thought provoking and filled with intersting facts. Look forward to the next instalment!!
“Mine it at our leisure” is something no miner or astronaut has ever said 😅
I'm pretty sure dwarfs love it.
"Turns out that smug metal bastard was lying to us." Much like chat gpt you have to ask if they are sure 😅
I've heard of that guy Aster Roids before. I'm more intimately familiar with his sister Hemma though
Yes, I hear she's really into butt stuff
Someone give this man a handshake. This is gold
I've heard of guy Ste Roids.
lol i just got it
Hemma Roids is a pain in the ass!
Well, if I went back in time to my grandmother’s day back in 1918 and told her everyone in the future has a device that can communicate with anyone in the world and also gave access to almost all the information and research in human history, and it’s no bigger than a wallet, she’d laugh me off as a looney, yet here we are!
Maybe not. In a few decades, they had a phone, cars, light bulbs, radio, airplanes, and moving pictures. They had a sense of technological advancement.
She'd probably write the local asylum and have you locked up within a fort night
I absolutly love this channel, i would support it if I could, Im a 70 yo pensioner.
Have followed for a long time.
Oh that I could be alive in the 21st century,
The things you people will see
I envy you so much.
Live long and prosper.
You CAN be alive in the 21st century. You ARE alive, unless you're dead, whiI seriously doubt, since I've never seen a dead person comment on RUclips. We're almost a quarter of the way through the 21st century.
So glad you promoted Star Trek Fleet Command. My friend is heavily into Star Trek. So much so that he has 3 ears. A right ear, a left ear and a final front ear
I've been hearing about resources running out my entire life, yet we keep finding more of what we currently need and new uses for stuff we never used before.
True and well stated. 👍
We are going to run we just haven’t yet. Who told you we would by now? We are the only beings in the universe that we know of that has the ability to even think that far ahead. To sit there and just ignore it is sad.
Theres a reason why, the youth become eco warriors which help the elite plan of world control via one gov
Guess your not a fisherman because we see less everything now
Bingo.
Say something is scarce, raise the stock prices, cash out, say you found more.
Rinse, repeat
"Im king Charles, look at my drip"....😂 That freaking Charles is at it again.
Many of these resources are only valuable because they are scarce. If we suddenly gained a huge supply of gold we wouldn’t suddenly be rich. Gold would just lose all of its value.
Population and in the scenario placed forth in the video 2 worlds would be using it as a currency basis not to mention the asteroid mining fields so to speak themselves using it as a currency backing our outright. It seems to me that is one of the major pushes behind everyone who can rushing to space.
NOT all. It's still be useful in a number of techs.
@@gillescoin2374 ok, correction, most of its value
@@gillescoin2374 A new race of Android shells for our sentient A.I brothers and sisters, I like your mindset! Serious nt joking
Seeing as how the moon has millions of asteroids laying around a moon base would be the most logical starting point. don't even have to chase them. could be entire gold boulders there. Eventually the materials for space travel will need to be mined in space and processed on the moon anyways. No atmosphere to cause problems.
Just be sure not to send nuclear waste there!
The problem is space treaties surrounding the moon. Officially, no country is allowed to "claim" any parts of the moon, and the legal question is completely up in the air whether or not private companies can touch the moon let alone mine resources from it.
If we have made it to the moon..... There would be a Walmart, McDonald's, and a golf course there 😂.
@@mateothomas7071you mean if private enterprise got there. Unfortunately the government got there, so they focus on the impractical and are massively wasteful while doing it.

How much you wanna bet that when asteroid mining starts happening somebody's gonna fuck up and crash one of these big bastards right into terra firma?
A good way to do this, would be small bots, even nano bots. They land on the asteroid and make larger bots and so on. Then they jettison the stuff back to us. Maybe the main craft that drops them is a huge solar cell to start. If they ever get pure electrical propulsion down they can slow and stear them maybe. Park them nearer. Or 6-8 crafts park and lock on an object and slow it and bring it closer.
For a recent discovery in electrical propulsion see the Popular Mechanics article titled "An Engineer Says He’s Found a Way to Overcome Earth’s Gravity"
3:24 So... eastern europe, about in 1996 - a nice summer morning, suddenly you wake with a pulse of fear.. "WOW! I was so close to oversleeping..." its 5 AM and this time you're going with grandpa and grandma to the corn fields to "whack the weeds" as you might say, and maintain the field. It's a backbreaking manual labor!(well at least for them it was...) We get to the field early and prep for a light breakfast, granny woke up early to prepare it all. As I'm gorging on my granny's milinki with a side of apricot nectar(both homemade...) I notice other people around us enjoying breakfast as well. Then every group(bout 20 or 30 depending on the day, basically almost the whole village) gradually begins to work their land. We call this land "bostan" and every village had one. Every couple of years they move it in order to keep the soil more rich and not deplete the nutrients with continuous strain through growing the same culture there(they rotated mixed bostans with single culture ones). I was a kid back then, no more than 10 years old, but believe me when i tell you.. best.. damn.. time!!!
mining anything, off planet, would introduce an economic nightmare
Thanks from the bottom of my heart, your videos are a good source of information, they are interesting and they make me feel bloody good for some reason
a lot is wrong.. do some digging..
The really limited resource is habitable space. That Davida asteroide contains enough material for several Earth surface equivalents of O'Neil cylinders.
Great episode as always!¡ Thanks very much!!
Thanks for the refreshing stories you provide. Very interesting and entertaining.
Thoughty2, have you ever thought about covering the insane forming of the banana republics in South America

@@GarrettB06
Sure, sure, 😀
@@PrairieWolf62 I mean it is… you can look it up if you don’t believe me..?
been watching Arran for years and bro really don’t miss
edit: King Charles type beat goes hard
Except for the title of the video. It's pretty clickbaity.
Ice will likely be the first thing mined. H + O for rocket fuel. Water to drink and O2 to breath.
Getting stuff up to space is one of the main issues. Solving that thing is the very first step in our journey to conquer space. We came up with some pretty decent ideas already, fe a space catapult here and around the Moon with a moon base. That way our journeys in our solar system could be so much easier.
Conclusion: people will try to do anything except learn to use local resources sustainably.
Foreign people see RUclips videos of dumpster divers and think they can "mine" our streets. Hence, mass migration.
Nailed it
That would be because it’s impossible to use local resources sustainably at this point
Your phone, computer and every electronic device contains gold.
@marktyler3381 you contain gold
Imagine going to eat and sending an astroid into another country.. only for it to touchdown and be made completely of unrainium and plutonium 😳
Great episode, very informative and captivating!
If the metals are pulled into the Earths core then wouldn't Lava contain large amounts of these elements?
Really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.

A fascinating perspective on the role of asteroids in our existence and the potential they hold for our future. Your analysis of asteroid mining and its challenges is extremely detailed, and the concept of using this potential resource to aid our ambitions of space colonization is mind-boggling.
Thanks for recognizing mushroom eaters as being ahead of the curve on asteroid mining. Interestingly, the mushrooms show no attraction to Mars at all.
What about crashing NEOs into Mars? Surely mining them there would be a lot easier than trying to mine them with little to no gravity?
That's actually quite a genius idea, i'd say.
@@margusprokuda4973 Im sure smarter people than I have asked it and there's a reason not to, but seems logical to me.
I know that there are big groups dedicated to "preserving mars" which might be the reason. We are wanting to study mars as it is now, if we crashed an NEO that contained hydrocarbons, we have forever contaminated future hydrocrabon finds on mars, there will always be a "what if it was from that NEO instead of naturally occuring?"
⚠ What's with the click bait-y title??
Because they work. obviously, you have never seen a veritasium video.
Thx entertaining and informative.
It’s sad that everything related to tech is now directly related to greed
Greed has driven tech from day one. Without the ability to make a profit, most people wouldn't make an attempt
Every time something like this is discusses, there's one thing that comes to mind. Mining asteroids and bringing the material back to earth would increase the planets mass, how much much mass would have to be added before we would start having noticeable differences in earths orbit?
A ridiculous mind blowing amount. That we could never achieve
Good one. Considering the earth is spinning at 1000 miles an hour, I'm worried that if I walk in the wrong direction I might end up in Leicester.
Do you have any idea how massive the earth is? Everything we have ever built including roads, pavements, buildings, plastic, clothing and machines, all sums up to 1.1 trillion tonnes. The earth weights 5.9 billion times that amount. So if we are ever capable of making a significant difference to earths orbit, then we would already be advanced enough to completely control it at our will
@@strider-pubgmobile757 Everything we ever built on earth has been from materials on earth.
@MiddleAgedSwedeGoesForAWalk well we made a lake so big it had an impact on the earths rotation iirc so a fair amount but probably less than you would think
Here before the assbots!!!😂😂😂😂
lol
nah sadly at the same time.
Thank you :) We love you!
Loved the video!!
How has this video got anything to do with the current title: ‘Billionaires are Secretly Bringing Asteroids to Earth and We Don’t Know Why’? I have seen and enjoyed a lot of your videos but this is just clickbait. Sorry.
Well you did take the bait....sooo
I'll agree . Click bait
They did try and brought samples back. Its a start .
Has to be an attempt at calling dibs on mining.
Haven't seen the full vid yet, but it isn't false advertising...they are doing this in order to be able to make it more economical, logistically feasible to have the ability to go 'up there' & mine them.
It WILL be a trillion dollar industry. No 2 ways about it. It will be done. Has been done, albeit on a exponentially smaller scale than what is planned
The title of this episode, at the time of posting this comment: "Billionaires are secretly directing asteroids to earth and we don't know why". I love your channel, and I love your content. This isn't the first time that I've found a title of yours to be willfully misleading sensationalist clickbait, however... You have brilliantly produced episodes, and although the algorithm can be a total b*tch, I honestly feel that these tactics are (way) beneath you. Anyway, I enjoyed the episode (yes, I'm calling it an episode, since it's more than just a video clip) immensely.
Hey Thoughty2 thank you!
Thank you
Click bate ,bad title
I agree
Thanks!
Thoughty you're awesome ive been sub to you for a few years now
Very informative video. Thank You.
I just love your humor!!!! Thanks for doing what you do.
Why?
Great vid
Keep the good work
they say water on Earth came from asteroids, so perhaps they're looking for a fresh source of water to meet their requirements.. You know, after they scorch the Earth or let loose a super big of some sort...
Thank you... ❤
Great video.

Amazing how some of us think of these "solutions" instead of first controlling ourselves here on the planet we inhabit.
Another great video :-)
Thanks.
I've heard that space elevators were going to be a thing in the near future, I can't even get my head around that how would that even work? I'm going to have to Google that lmao
I love your channel, you bring up the most interesting topics❤
That book The Sparrow by Mary Doris Russell (a fucking AMAZING speculative fiction, one of my favorites) introduced me to the idea of using asteroids for space travel by creating a livable space on the asteroid and burning the fuel contained within. So the asteroid is the ship as well as the fuel. I think that’s an amazing concept!
It is an amazing concept but getting poked by aliens in the nethers makes it a bit of a risk to the bum.
Hollywood warned us about this on Don't Look Up
The last part of the video basically described the setting of The Expanse.
Great vid as allways. Ty T2 The sound track at the end sounds amazing, can I ask what it's called ?
@11:35 I was so ready for a calculation breakdown of which kinds of cheese would be profitable.
Great information from a more fantastic channel
Yet another fascinating video Mr Lomas!

Very interesting.
What if we crash a small asteroid into the Moon? We could simply pick up the rubble, transport it back to earth, and distribute it among humanity evenly (or make a few billionaires into quadrillionaires...).
Science fiction has truly captured most minds...
Before we run out of rare metals, either we need to figure out how to reuse them or make everything out of carbon chains. We waste energy and minerals at an alarming rate.
Yes, you can imagine just how much recyclable materials must be lurking in every city/town dump.
I scavenge through the occasion flytip, whenever someone is thoughtless enough to dump a washing machine or fridge near me. I've picked up buckets of copper, brass and stainless steel this way - because other people are generally too stupid to realise that such household waste is still worth money.
But think of the other things, the hi-tech stuff, thrown away into grey bins or flung out of car windows, because people can't be bothered to drive to the recycling banks.
But nah that's just a liberal hoax meant to scare us into accepting socialism
