    I wrote a 19 page paper in college about a very similar topic! How govt. and private companies can and are working together to make space profitable. It felt like revisiting a lot of old research I had done, and it was cool to hear you come to the same conclusions. It’ll be interesting to see how the final frontier develops over the course of our lifetimes

      The Effects of Anthropogenic Global Warming is already deconstructing the Global Economy required to sustain any kind of Space "Industry"...; and effectively, the entire "Aerospace Industry" is currently functioning as a giant Diversional-Therapy Programme for otherwise Economically Unemployable Geeks, Nerds, and Engineers...., giving them something to do to keep them from revolting in the Streets.
      The Cloud of Satellites currently surrounding Earth is but one serious Coronal-Mass Ejection - or 3 Orbital EMP Nukeyoulater Bomb-Detonations, away from being a Halo of Space-Junk in decaying Orbits.
      Ho Chi-Minh ethnically-cleansed the Moon of all AmeriKans in 1973, when the cost of losing in Vietnam bankrupted Fort Knox and forced NASA to cancel the final 1/3rd of their Apollo Program..., and between them Sadman Whosinsane and Usama Bin-Laughin' shot Unkle Spam clear out of Manned Earth Orbit ; so right now NASA has no Human-Rated Crew-Vehicle in the Pipeline which will be ready for them to test-fly before their contract with Russcosmos for Soyuz Taxi-rides to the "ISS" (at $90 million per Seat) expires..., and China's shiny new Space Station is due to become a Fireball - falling back to Earth this Week,
      Meanwhile ALL forms of Surgery are known to be IMPOSSIBLE in Microgravity..., NASA tried it for 15 years on the Vomit-Comets, so therefore the First-Aid Kit on the ISS consists of a Packet of Painkillers, a Box of Band-Aids, a selection of Antibiotics ; and for anything requiring a more complex Treatment-Plan..., an Emergency Return to Earth - which takes 24 Hours to boot-up the Soyuz "Lifeboat", all assuming that the Patient can survive the 8 or 9 G's encountered during Re-Entry & Landing....(!).
      So said the US Government's Air & Space Smithsonian magazine's feature Article on the topic, a couple of years ago...; an it was the total impossibility of Surgically-Operating in Space which caused the cancellation of the planned US "Freedom" giant Space Station, which was to be a Halfway-Station between Earth & the Moon.
      Wake up to yourselves, and get real.

      Asteroid mining is about securing resources and averting a collision. Apophis is going to make a very close visit in 2029. If asteroid mining hasn't taken off by then this will be the catalyst. Asteroid Bennu is expected to come very close, perhaps collide, in ~700 years. There could easily be several more Tunguska/Chelyabinsk collisions to remind people of the importance of eliminating hazardous asteroids.

    I love these sorts of videos for a vastly different reason than the majority of people, whereas the majority are simply consuming for entertainment I take notes and study. The specific businesses that are interviewed for most are cool concepts, for me it’s a unique insight into a business where I study their specific strengths and weaknesses and take notes on if/how I can improve their standard. It’s come to the point where I have numerous concepts and models of rocket engines, fuel delivery, aeronautical efficient designs, telecommunications concepts, observational improvements, energy efficiency, universe exploration, literally anything space/technology/physics/chemical/etc I probably have a theoretical concept or research model on it. The human brain is far to valuable to become complacent in the herd, science is not a political ideology for the collective morality of society, scientific philosophy of questioning everything and always remaining humble is what makes humans unique.. otherwise humanity is doomed to perpetually make the same mistakes history has taught us, the founding fathers of America understood this perpetual humility of humanity thus we were created for individual liberty and yet we appear to have forgotten this in modern society in favor of nihilism and defeatism.

    • @fieldo85
      @fieldo85 6 лет назад +32

      At the Australian State government I work for, we still regularly order/purchase aerial imagery. This is because satellite imagery can not offer the same resolutions as aerial imagery (at least not for an equivalent price). With aerial imagery we get images with 3cm/6cm/10cm resolutions, which allows analysts to see a huge range of features that are obscured in 30cm, 60cm, 1m satellite imagery. Another benefit is that we can capture LIDAR data to record the landscape in 3D (even through tree canopies). Meanwhile drones are not able to capture the large area's we require (especially over urban area's due to restrictions). They have amazing spatial resolution ~1cm (it is even possible to map power lines) but for anything larger then a couple of football fields they quickly become effectively useless (due to battery life and regulations). So I believe we will still use a mixture of satellite, aerial and drone imagery into the foreseeable future. Mainly because they all serve different use cases for the different magnitudes at which we need to observe the earth.

    • @Cat-ct9hn
      @Cat-ct9hn 6 лет назад +2

      I came here to say the same thing. At 7:37 it was said "... receive about a GigaBYTE of information every second" (GBps), then at 7:54 it's said it is a "gigaBIT connection" (Gbps).
      GBps does not equal Gbps. It is (at least) eight times faster.

      Well typically when you hear gigabit/s the average person believes that information is being transferred at one gigabyte per second. In the case of the video it was simply the common misunderstanding between GB and Gb. All thanks to ISPs and other digital storage manufacturers that try to deceive the public this way by saying you get 8Gb/s per second when in reality in decimal system that is 1GB/s

    As much as I enjoyed this video, I think we should be wary of vertical mergers. Competition is what keeps capitalism from becoming dystopian.

      Vertical mergers don't cause monopolies like that though, buying one's competitors would be a horizontal merger. They can give a company a heavy advantage over their competitors, but it doesn't eliminate them (unless the "lower" or "higher" industry was a monopoly itself their competitors always have the option to perform vertical mergers themselves).

    • @filanfyretracker
      @filanfyretracker 6 лет назад +9

      Vertical can be good though, Its how SpaceX can build a rocket cheaper than NASA. SpaceX builds almost every single part of an F9 in house at their Hawthorne facility. This means they do not have to shell money to hundreds of contractors across every state for things they should be doing in a single in house facility at the KSC.
