So if it’s removing Pluto from planets or adding a whole bunch more planets, removing Pluto is the least terrible option
They had the same issue with the asteroid belt. Ceris was first a planet. So was Vesta. But people discovered more and more of these things, so they started sweating. No way they were geing to learn the 100 planets of the solar system.

dwarf planet is below the status of a planet and not just a "small planet", there is a huge difference. the thought was rather keep them all as planets and not make up new definition of planets to cut out pluto and those others. like he said: we have 1000 planets and the biggest ones are. that's like instead calling the new generation of mobile phone smartphone, they decided to redefine that mobile phones can only have a touch screen and remove all the old models with buttons an rename them like idk portable phone

Let's not forget, NASA's moonshot was essentially never going to happen without Australia's help. Honeysuckle Creek and Tidbinbilla were critical tracking stations that kept "us" in radio contact with Apollo as North America, being attached to the earth, would rotate beyond line of sight communication every 24 hours. Sooooo, thank you Aussies. We owe ya one.
Ah, finally. A new In The Field. I can't wait to watch this new Space themed In The Field. I bet that's totally what Internet Historian and OrdinaryThings will talk about in this video. I doubt the In The Field will be spent talking about everything BUT space.
I can't believe all they needed to do to make a space elevator was to put links between many separate lengths of rope. Internet Historian just solved physics
16:50 utah is like this. Every dried up ditch in the desert is mapped and named as if it's a creek. And there's like 11 rock structures named "Molly's Nipple" for some reason. And they're all only like 15 feet tall
No he didn't: the problem remains tensile strength. Parts of the cable are being help up because they are suborbital. Earth's gravity and rotation means no material can hold such a cable together. Using the moon as shown makes it MUCH worse because there is a lot more cable with a suborbital period (which therefore must be held up be the cable)
The idea of putting a loaded gun in the "alien box" had me rolling, because you just know the first thing they're going to do is look down the barrel and pull the trigger. Some hyper advanced lifeform that has probably been around for millions of years, and _that's_ how it dies.
I'm pretty sure if they existed that long that would understand concepts like "weapons" and "possible hazards from unknown tech" and would tread with care
I think about that dog we sent to space with no plans to get it home a lot. Apparently they found dogs that were strays in Moscow because it was assumed they'd be tougher and better at handling the cold. Laika basically means "barker" because she would bark loudly
I like how the ancients theorised all these impossible obstacles that can't be crossed and then say "but if you do... here's another obstacle". If it were me I'd just stop with the sea monsters. "But Plato, what if you COULD get pass them." "Shut up Aristotle! I said you can't get pass them, EVER, the end."

They actually didn't. For some reason even though "Planet" is in the name, dwarf planets aren't considered a type of planet at all. It's like how velvet ants are actually not ants and are wasps instead. Even though "ant" is in the name.
Nice of Internet Historian to let Ordinary Things out of his basement to let him record with him. I hope he gave him food and water this time. It is the holiday season after all.
Every new IH video that comes out always fills me with such a mix of absolute joy, and complete depression, because I know that the video is guaranteed to be incredibly entertaining and funny, yet completely depressing because it's going to end before I know it and will have to wait months for a new one. (I'm not complaining about the wait time, the wait time is what gives these videos their quality content)
I used to work at CERN. While the LHC is not running you may be able to book tours to the detectors. (Those are the places where the particle streams colide) If you go to Geneva some time you should try and visit. It is one crazy impressive piece of equipment. They are running a lot of interesting experiments.
I like how they basically described a fallout style random loot encounter for space. Dead bodies, cola, and a gun. If that isn’t something I’d likely find together in fallout then I dunno what is. Also I think another few things about Pluto is it’s mildly elliptical and has a tilted axis.
Yeah, they shouldn't have said it doesn't exist, that just made people more interested in discovering it, that's what urges Columbus, they just kept saying he couldn't. Instead they should've just said "Yeah it exists, but it's just a big disappointment, why waste the time."
As a person who is not actively working for CERN but has in the past. You can get a guided tour into the area where the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is. Unfortunately you can't, to my knowledge, put anything into the pipes the size of poop. It's a pretty airtight vacuum in there. About as vacuum as we can make vacuums. Also it's one sometimes, so don't go in when it's on or you'll die of radiation poisoning :) Good luck
@@mikesendec3972 There's been a few. I think the one you're referring to is the one where some interns/students went into the gallery (underground tunnels that are poorly mapped), I believe. Filmed a found-footage horror clip with a ritual sacrifice. It was hilarious, but the board didn't like it.
I know Internet Historian thought he was making an outlandish proposal for a launch system in the CERN bit but SpinLaunch is essential what he described and is actually getting rockets off the ground
@@Mr_BobAFeet The problem with spinlaunch is 1. getting the track to kick you off into the sky. 2. being able to overcome air resistance on the way up at such huge speeds. 3. Cant carry people. 4. problems with stability. Honestly I doubt its ever going to work as intended. They MIGHT be able to get it going for doing some cargo runs but Im not holding my breath.
@@XellithUSthey’re driving cost down for small to medium-small payloads. As technology continues to miniaturize small form factor payloads are likely to increase. If the cost is driven low enough, there will be a market. It will not be the prime launch market but it exists already
@@______6879 As stated though, there are fundamental problems that need to be overcome. Spinlaunch is currently just an idea. It might just stay that way. The engineering problems to overcome are immense.
I would enjoy these videos alot more if it weren’t for the fact every time i watch them Internet Historian himself walks into my room, hits me with a metal pipe and then lights my body on fire.
You should try to convince him to do it when you're watching his main channel instead, then you'll get beaten and set on fire just once or twice a year. Or maybe he will start uploading videos more often, either way we all win.
My astronomy teacher in college told us he was actually one of the people to vote on whether or not pluto would remain a planet or not. I'll never forgive him.
Internet Historian, you absolute bloody legend, you are my favorite youtuber hands down. The only channel that I have enable "all" notifications for. Keep up the amazing work. Your series "The triggering of Shia" is one of my favorite things on the entire internet.

I love that they half discover some genuine space travel ideas like magnetic catapults and space tethers, then just imagine the worst ways possible to implement them
Them talking about space suits reminded me of a Digimon episode. They show Gabumon on Mars with a custom space suit designed to fit his horn and tail, and it's simultaneously impressive and hilarious.
One of my favorite tv moments was an episode of Exo Squad. The communications guy was on a mission. The heavy weapons guy was subbing in his suit. It wouldn't cooperate. The AI is giving him shit. He says something like " Oh yeah" squint and concentrates. You see a little electricity run down the neural link into the machine. It replies with " This Exo Suit is not physically capable of completing that request." I'm like 14 or 15. I realized that he had told it to go fuck itself. Subtle, but solid, joke.
That was the end of OG Digimon where they showed what everyone was doing 10 years later, IIRC. Such a neat way to send it off. But it also means they never expanded on it.
I can’t believe I found your channel a month ago….I’m a huge fan of what you do. Cant tell you enough how sweet that week was binge watching all your stuff
The constant use of "fillament" instead of "firmament" made me imagine the stars are all light from one big light bulb, and the sky is just some black paper with holes in it.
That was a belief at one point, like in the Middle Ages or something, that stars were “holes” in the sky that we could see the light of Heaven shining through.
I just commented about the filament thing. I couldn’t figure out if he was purposefully mistaking filament for firmament or if there was a joke there or if filament was an actual thing in that context 😂
The funny thing is you guys weren’t too far off with the space trebuchet thing. They’ve got this spinlaunch thing being tested where it’s basically just a giant spinning wheel that builds up a load of momentum which launched satellites out the top & (hopefully) into orbit
It won't launch anything into orbit by itself, but the intention is to get stuff through the thick lower atmosphere as fast as possible, and then have them use rockets to get into orbit.
Re: Pluto, I still agree with the IAU definition because we do very much teach about dwarf planets which very much lines up with what they said of "1000 planets but also the big 8". Yes the neighborhood argument is shoddy since any day we may find two extrasolar planets in the same orbit but when you look at the solar system, you can't lump planets like Jupiter, Uranus or Venus in the same group as, like, twelve near-identical lumps of ice in the Kuiper belt
actualy the first recorded instance of the world being described as round was written before 732 B.C.E at Isiah 40:22 (bear in mind that in the original Aramaic language this was written in they did not have seperate words for sphere and circle) Isiah 40:22 "There is One who dwells above the circle of the earth..."
Well I happened to have a good friend working at CERN and lemme tell you your little segment about them is on point, those guys are fun and have an endless list of goofy ways to use their big toy if given the opportunity
That was the vibe I got during a tour in CERN. The tour guide showed us a tree that was covered in computer mice, called it a zoo, then pointed out that there were "dangerous" computer mice inside cages lol
Y'know Historian, Isaac Arthur did a whole RUclips series 'Upward Bound', and the funny thing is, there's a few future-tech ideas there that your ideas were pretty close to. You talked about attaching a rope to a rail but 'space rails' are actually a possible future idea. Give it a lookie-loo, honestly seems like it might be up your alley my guy!
This man uploading is a huge larger than life event for my friend group. It’s like everyone looses their shit and quotes and references the video like crazy for the next two weeks
Every time I see Hide The Pain Harold, all my sorrows just disappears. Well done Mr. Historian. You've successfully Pavloved a bunch of us with Harold's face.
Agreed, Spinlaunch makes no sense. Humans could never travel in it and cargo would almost all be wrecked by it. Also it's energy requirements would be enormous and it doesn't help with the harest parts of setting up orbits at all. Waste of money, granted. Do the idiots doing it know that though? 🤔
@TheR4gnos I mean, I'm not a Spinlaunch stan at all, but the criticisms you bring up aren't really valid. - It's not intended for humans and never will be, the Gs would just liquify you - Even cheap consumer electronics can withstand the thousands of Gs it produces - It's intended to get out of our thick lower atmosphere as fast as possible, which is one of the most inefficient parts of getting to orbit - Since it’s powered by an electric motor, it’s in the unique position to ‘choose’ its power source depending on the electrical grid it’s connected to. Theoretically it could be solar or nuclear powered.
"They changed Pluto to a dwarf planet" "That's bullshit! Why don't they just call them big planets and small planets!" One might even use a synonym for small, such as dwarf
A couple months back I binged through all of the In The Field videos...I probably saw "future." 3 times now since I've also rewatched it when showing it to others. So I'm happy to see a new one in less than half a year. :P Please keep making more, they're great to listen to (I've seen someone describe it as a podcast without the filler) but also great to watch with the editing. Obviously different content compared to what's on the main channel, but I genuinely like these coming out more often.
9:40 I love that Historian while trying to meme comes up with a completely legitimate idea that already exists called an "Orbital Ring" and is theoretically the best way to create a bridge from the Earth to the moon. Space is so silly.
What IH was describing with the CERN launcher is an actual device that is being looked into, called a mass driver. It's not lightspeed but it's enough to get outta the atmosphere. Like a rock sling
The important thing is, no matter what we choose to do with all that space, I think we can all agree a nice rug and coffee table will really help tie the room together... and maybe a lamp.

I don't think anybody in this comment section has the qualifications required to determine what should and shouldn't be classified as a planet.
Especially considering they're all just rocks floating around.
@@PhrozenFox Everyone in this comment section are floating rocks?
you do realize that Pluto and all the other dwarf to asteroids are smaller than the moon. Pluto's gravity is around 0.62 m/s^2 while the moons gravity is around 1.62 m/s^2 and just to get an idea of how small that is earth is 9.81m/s^2
dwarf planet is below the status of a planet and not just a "small planet", there is a huge difference. the thought was rather keep them all as planets and not make up new definition of planets to cut out pluto and those others. like he said: we have 1000 planets and the biggest ones are. that's like instead calling the new generation of mobile phone smartphone, they decided to redefine that mobile phones can only have a touch screen and remove all the old models with buttons an rename them like idk portable phone

What if that's exactly what he meant.
I laughed so hard at that flub--especially since the earlier joke about "nobody thinks you're smart!" Internet Historian, you madman, we love you.
I had to double check the first time.
I love how he invented a space elevator in like the worst but still feasible way ever.
I dont think the idea is feasable in any way but the concept is the same.
No he didn't: the problem remains tensile strength. Parts of the cable are being help up because they are suborbital. Earth's gravity and rotation means no material can hold such a cable together.
Using the moon as shown makes it MUCH worse because there is a lot more cable with a suborbital period (which therefore must be held up be the cable)
Clearly all we need is the elevator from Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.
The idea of putting a loaded gun in the "alien box" had me rolling, because you just know the first thing they're going to do is look down the barrel and pull the trigger. Some hyper advanced lifeform that has probably been around for millions of years, and _that's_ how it dies.
Then you add a camera and then it's alien roulette for at least 2 of them

I used to work at CERN. While the LHC is not running you may be able to book tours to the detectors. (Those are the places where the particle streams colide)
If you go to Geneva some time you should try and visit. It is one crazy impressive piece of equipment.
They are running a lot of interesting experiments.
That's really cool. If I ever tour Europe someday, I'll remember this.
Experiments like opening portals to the lizard dimension. Nah I’m good I’ll just stay in my basement
You clearly missed the bit where they want to go there to use it as a loo and presumably launch that into space.
How good of a job did you have to find to stop working at CERN??
@Okabe Rintaro I surprised you didn't bring up the other things they did. I'd be much more upset about some of those.
I like how they basically described a fallout style random loot encounter for space. Dead bodies, cola, and a gun. If that isn’t something I’d likely find together in fallout then I dunno what is.

"Don't bother trying to discover Australia" is sound advice even today.

@@XellithUSthey’re driving cost down for small to medium-small payloads. As technology continues to miniaturize small form factor payloads are likely to increase. If the cost is driven low enough, there will be a market. It will not be the prime launch market but it exists already

It won't launch anything into orbit by itself, but the intention is to get stuff through the thick lower atmosphere as fast as possible, and then have them use rockets to get into orbit.

Re: Pluto, I still agree with the IAU definition because we do very much teach about dwarf planets which very much lines up with what they said of "1000 planets but also the big 8". Yes the neighborhood argument is shoddy since any day we may find two extrasolar planets in the same orbit but when you look at the solar system, you can't lump planets like Jupiter, Uranus or Venus in the same group as, like, twelve near-identical lumps of ice in the Kuiper belt

The thing InternetHistorian proposed to launch things to the space with LHC is already made (prototype phase) and it's called "SpinLaunch".
SpinLaunch is vertical and designed to be less than 320m in circumference. The LHC is flat and over 16 *miles* around.
SpinLaunch is hot garbage.
That spinlaunch stuff is a scam
Agreed, Spinlaunch makes no sense. Humans could never travel in it and cargo would almost all be wrecked by it.
Also it's energy requirements would be enormous and it doesn't help with the harest parts of setting up orbits at all.
Waste of money, granted. Do the idiots doing it know that though? 🤔
@TheR4gnos I mean, I'm not a Spinlaunch stan at all, but the criticisms you bring up aren't really valid.
- It's not intended for humans and never will be, the Gs would just liquify you
- Even cheap consumer electronics can withstand the thousands of Gs it produces
- It's intended to get out of our thick lower atmosphere as fast as possible, which is one of the most inefficient parts of getting to orbit
- Since it’s powered by an electric motor, it’s in the unique position to ‘choose’ its power source depending on the electrical grid it’s connected to. Theoretically it could be solar or nuclear powered.
