asteroid mining is unrealistic as of this moment with out a heavy infulstructure in space. lunar mining is a significantly more realistic and money making industry that NASA is even backing
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.

vanmaren962 get at me I’m working on NVIDIA nano am AGX Xavier to make a spaceship dry dock. I want to make a facility that builds ships, equipment and mining operations. Basically a space factory
I live 10 minutes from that glass satalite building. Grew up right down the street from it. Never gave a thought to what it was or who it was owned by. Blew my mind when I saw it in this video.
I worked in areal photography in the early 2000's. When Digital Globe released their imagery to Google Earth, most of my busyness dried up over night and I was no longer able to make enough money to cover my operational costs.
Aerial photography can probably still be profitable, you'd just have to do it with drones instead. Granted those didn't really exist commercialy in the early 2000s...
Erik S Well, drone imagery can be profitable, but only in small areas where very high resolution is needed and images are needed very often. Satellite imagery is clearly the best solution for large landscapes.
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.
fieldo85 Well, DigitalGlobe has entered the aerial imagery market too. I think that drones will be able to provide high-quality local imagery, but this will take a few years to become commercially feasible for larger areas.
No matter how many videos I watch on this channel I am continuously blown away by the production quality a lot of major network broadcast TV is not this good. Nicely done.
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. Having one large company instead of many small ones would give the new company unprecedented power over the market, which if left unchecked can get very bad very fast. Just saying.
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).
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.
7:20 FYI... The LOS (Loss of Signal) column is a time shown in 24 hour format and the AOS (Acquisition of Signal) column to the left is in the same format. It's not a countdown time before signal is lost or acquired.
For those saying Gigabit != Gigabyte, they should know that Wendover was talking about the amount of data being collected in terms of gigabytes, while the other person was talking about the connection speed in terms of gigabits. Just a friendly reminder before you comment the same thing over and over
No, Wendover said about a Gigabyte every second, which is in fact a description of speed, and is 8x the Gigabit speed described by the dude from the company. Rookie mistake.
@@DheerajBhaskar Norway has invested so much in their countries own future that the government could sustain the budget for 8 years on just their investments alone, no taxation needed. I'd say that's better than the USA, who keep spiralling into debt because they hand over billions to Lockheed martin in order to better detonate Pakistani weddings.
Imagine trying to get insurance for A rocket: "Hi, I would like insurance for a rocket... No, not a prank call... No, not to battle aliens... GIVE ME THE INSURANCE, OR ELSE I USE YOUR RIVAL"
So going for aerospace or aeronautical engineering is a great option for me to take! Ever since I was liitle i've always loved planes and engines so :)

12:27 that's exactly wrong, at least in connotation with the Tesla picture. The entire point of Tesla Autopilot is that it relies on what it sees. That's why it works so well, unlike Google autonomous vehicle that needs perfectly mapped area to function.
Isn't the merger dangerous? In an industry thats becoming more profitable to have such a large company already might be dangerous to potential competition
Could you do a video on how consolidation and mergers affect industry competition, growth, and innovation? I’m not certain all these things are directly related
Celebrated scientist: Forget Earth problems, go to space! Regular Earthlings: decreasing fertility from EDCs, food shortages; goods shortages; housing crises; species extermination; extreme weather; mostly from CC, political turmoil, poverty from Kleptocracy, societal collapse... shall I go on?

Yup that's why I'm buying their stocks... lockheed 300$, mitsubishi electric 12$, airbus 120$, and they all pay dividends so I'll collect money even before they explode
It's not like that at all, the DEIC was financially inflated by the Brits, there wasn't tea to back up their worth. Virtually unlimited resources in space makes a stock collapse like the DEIC nearly impossible, you gotta fuck up real bad to lose money on space ventures.
@@rollog1248 Dutch in DEIC means from the netherlands (so little brits involved, it did start inflated by dutch tho), and yes there was "tea" to back up their worth. They had a world monopoly on trade, their own armys, could declare war on any country as a company, in sort of the name of the netherlands, they where by far the most powerul nation/company of that time. They literlaly destroyed tribes and countries for their profit, id call that having something to back up their net worth. Just like the first/best company to colonise space will have a monopoly and become one of the strongest.
Man, I don’t know how it is that I only found your channel today since I watch a lot of videos in this space. But, you make some really great videos! I feel like your channel should have a tv show on the Discovery Channel. Thumbs up!
21:35 I don't agree with mr. Tyson. I'm 100 % sure SpaceX can fund the Mars project sustainably. The first step making a cash cow out of Starlink as they have planned. Other steps could be paid live streaming, competitions and other monetized interactions between the public and the Mars colonists.
I usually watch your videos while having lunch or dinner. It's a nice way of getting interesting information on topics I'm keen on. But this video… It felt more like watching a documentary, back when I would watch cable TV (up to 2013). It's really good to see channels like this moving on to making high production value content. Congratulations!
Gabriel francis Those industries will likely become important, but right now not one company is making profits of this as the technology is not yet developed,
@@Cat-ct9hn Virgin Galactic had their first successful space flight last week. I wonder how long it's going to take until they ferry their first tourists.
Gigabit != Gigabyte At 7:40 you mention 1 GB/s (Gigabyte/sec), whereas in the later statement at 7:53 he mentions a "Gigabit connection" (1 Gb/s). A gigabit connection is "only" 125MB/s (Megabyte/sec). Otherwise great vid.

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.
fieldo85 Well, DigitalGlobe has entered the aerial imagery market too. I think that drones will be able to provide high-quality local imagery, but this will take a few years to become commercially feasible for larger areas.
I’m on RUclips all the time so I don’t even need notifications.
Alan Stanley you need notifications but y have to subscribe to different favorite channels that u like their contents
same
When you said they merged my jaw dropped lmao
me too xd What a punch wendover :)))) keep it cool ill swallow all :)))
@@kukulroukul4698 okay?!???!!?
Yes
No matter how many videos I watch on this channel I am continuously blown away by the production quality a lot of major network broadcast TV is not this good. Nicely done.
gigabit != gigabyte
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.
InDieTasten Development did you even watch the vid?
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
^This guy knows what's up. The only question, is it GB or Gb?
The factorial of a gigabit must be indescribably huge, seeing as 10!=3,628,800.
As much as I enjoyed this video, I think we should be wary of vertical mergers. Competition is what keeps capitalism from becoming dystopian. Having one large company instead of many small ones would give the new company unprecedented power over the market, which if left unchecked can get very bad very fast. Just saying.
that's why the governments stops certain mergers and acquisitions
Irish Jester they don't have a monopoly in that space so the examples don't work
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).
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.
Verical merging it is not bad. There is nothing bad when Iron mine company would merge with Iron work company.
I watched star talk, I watched wendover pro, now the two has finally come together.
7:20
FYI... The LOS (Loss of Signal) column is a time shown in 24 hour format and the AOS (Acquisition of Signal) column to the left is in the same format. It's not a countdown time before signal is lost or acquired.
Okay, I know space is cool and stuff, but can i just say: The jazz music in this video is incredible.
For those saying Gigabit != Gigabyte, they should know that Wendover was talking about the amount of data being collected in terms of gigabytes, while the other person was talking about the connection speed in terms of gigabits. Just a friendly reminder before you comment the same thing over and over
Please explain the difference?
@@MrMJKRaw One Gigabyte = eight Gigabits
@@paczka2000
Mind blowing!
/rwooooooosh
No, Wendover said about a Gigabyte every second, which is in fact a description of speed, and is 8x the Gigabit speed described by the dude from the company.
Rookie mistake.
8 Bits = 1 Byte. Therefore, 1 Gigabyte = 8 Billion (Giga) Bits.
"Governments can plan decades or centuries out"
Nope
Some democratic countries do a better job of it than others.
Which other ym democratic country does it better? Name them
@@DheerajBhaskar Norway has invested so much in their countries own future that the government could sustain the budget for 8 years on just their investments alone, no taxation needed. I'd say that's better than the USA, who keep spiralling into debt because they hand over billions to Lockheed martin in order to better detonate Pakistani weddings.
By far the best content you ever produced.

Imagine trying to get insurance for A rocket:
"Hi, I would like insurance for a rocket... No, not a prank call... No, not to battle aliens... GIVE ME THE INSURANCE, OR ELSE I USE YOUR RIVAL"
We would probably fix our problems by exploring space.
How is that ironic?
@@benardo01 - fixed
Goddamn. You, sir, are a scholar. Amazing video! The links, the buildup, the transitions, the conclusion, the interjections. A++
Wendover's videos are made with such high quality! He keeps it both entertaining and informative. One of my favorite channels!
Everybody is making videos on SpaceX but it's very interesting and unique to explore the hidden gems out there. Thank you!
So going for aerospace or aeronautical engineering is a great option for me to take! Ever since I was liitle i've always loved planes and engines so :)
If you are good a math, do it.
That's the direction we're headed, go for it!
It's a shame I'm only good at biology
Aeronautical engineering gang let's gooo
Longer videos! Thanks Sam! :)
1:00 Neil deGrasse Tyson uses the exact opposite position when he argues that we should explore the moon first before we go to Mars.
First. As in we never been there yet. I agree ;)
I've noticed that his positions have been "fluid". I challenged him to predict the effect of windmills slowing the rotation of the earth and he declined.
Tyson is a tool of the oligarchs ! He is a two faced liar.
This was one of the greatest RUclips videos I've ever seen. Your videos are always amazing, the quality is always there.
Thank you so much for all of this. It is so appreciated!
This project must have been so much fun to make! Another great video, I look forward to the next one.
Yea 27 minutes of Wendover!
Damnit wendover, stop advertising my world domination pla- I mean uh. yeah. save humanity. wooo!
7:53 Is it a gigabit connection or a 1 gigabyte per second connection?
Guy said a gigabit connection, which is 125MB/s and not 1000MB/s. Wendover made an oopsie on this one.
@@Moonblazed uhuh stinky stinkyy
12:27 that's exactly wrong, at least in connotation with the Tesla picture.
The entire point of Tesla Autopilot is that it relies on what it sees. That's why it works so well, unlike Google autonomous vehicle that needs perfectly mapped area to function.
I will buy an Away suitcase for two reasons:
1) I need one & 2) they sponsored you...honest.

But have you ever seen any genuine chip paws?? We here so much of their fingers granting wishes yet i am yet to see one at the market 🌌
Isn't the merger dangerous? In an industry thats becoming more profitable to have such a large company already might be dangerous to potential competition
Why do you think Standard Oil was divided up?
The Devious Duck yeah, and it still somewhat fail.
Governments transcend generations is something we often overlook in how it should act versus a companies bottom line.
Lovely video
Such a quality video, you clearly put lots of effort into making them. Thank you
5:50 Noncens 10-30 am is not in the DARK at the other side of the earth !
Could you do a video on how consolidation and mergers affect industry competition, growth, and innovation? I’m not certain all these things are directly related

Real Engineering, we aren't you scolding Sam.
Celebrated scientist: Forget Earth problems, go to space! Regular Earthlings: decreasing fertility from EDCs, food shortages; goods shortages; housing crises; species extermination; extreme weather; mostly from CC, political turmoil, poverty from Kleptocracy, societal collapse... shall I go on? I'd like to know how we're going to explore space if we can't manage life here. Almost all successful people give this same advice: First thing in the morning, make your bed.
Because spending 300 energy credits is a lot easier than spending 300 minerals.
Its like the Dutch East India Company. Who knows what will happen? only the future can tell
Yup that's why I'm buying their stocks... lockheed 300$, mitsubishi electric 12$, airbus 120$, and they all pay dividends so I'll collect money even before they explode
It's not like that at all, the DEIC was financially inflated by the Brits, there wasn't tea to back up their worth. Virtually unlimited resources in space makes a stock collapse like the DEIC nearly impossible, you gotta fuck up real bad to lose money on space ventures.
@@rollog1248 Dutch in DEIC means from the netherlands (so little brits involved, it did start inflated by dutch tho), and yes there was "tea" to back up their worth. They had a world monopoly on trade, their own armys, could declare war on any country as a company, in sort of the name of the netherlands, they where by far the most powerul nation/company of that time. They literlaly destroyed tribes and countries for their profit, id call that having something to back up their net worth. Just like the first/best company to colonise space will have a monopoly and become one of the strongest.
Who’s here after SpaceX just sent two humans to the ISS from the Cape?
He said space doesn't make money......talk to Elon Musk and The owner of Virgin
Man, I don’t know how it is that I only found your channel today since I watch a lot of videos in this space. But, you make some really great videos! I feel like your channel should have a tv show on the Discovery Channel. Thumbs up!
Thank you for making this video, it’s super useful for people interested in making progress in this industry!❤️🙌
So you need "A License" to take high resolution photos from space. . . . . I definitely got off on the wrong planet.
Do you have any idea what kind of dastardly deeds you can do with that ability? Makes more sense than licencing barbers, if you ask me.

When can I be a hundrianaire lol
Please watch my videos. please give me some views
21:35 I don't agree with mr. Tyson. I'm 100 % sure SpaceX can fund the Mars project sustainably. The first step making a cash cow out of Starlink as they have planned. Other steps could be paid live streaming, competitions and other monetized interactions between the public and the Mars colonists.
you are so wrong
Great job man, this is a massive step up in production values
I usually watch your videos while having lunch or dinner. It's a nice way of getting interesting information on topics I'm keen on.
But this video… It felt more like watching a documentary, back when I would watch cable TV (up to 2013).
It's really good to see channels like this moving on to making high production value content.
Congratulations!
What about asteroid mining and space tourism?!
Gabriel francis Those industries will likely become important, but right now not one company is making profits of this as the technology is not yet developed,
@@Cat-ct9hn Virgin Galactic had their first successful space flight last week. I wonder how long it's going to take until they ferry their first tourists.
I'm only 13 years old and in future I will create my own asteroid mining company and space earth-mars tourism :)
Gigabit != Gigabyte
At 7:40 you mention 1 GB/s (Gigabyte/sec), whereas in the later statement at 7:53 he mentions a "Gigabit connection" (1 Gb/s).
A gigabit connection is "only" 125MB/s (Megabyte/sec).
Otherwise great vid.
Great work! I am keen on building things in space with materials gathered, mined and refined in space.
5 minutes into this video and I gotta say, this has got to be one of the most underrated and unbelievable companies on Earth.
This video was awesome! I appreciate the hard work and amount of time you guys spend on these videos, they're always really good, whenever I see a new Wendover or Half as Interesting video I will watch it in class cause it's more interesting than math or english. Keep up the great work guys!
Hell yea, my dream is to work for a space company, maybe even own one 0.o
I hope you make your dreams come true
"There is no demand for deep space exploration" ... What about precious metals asteroid mining?
We dont even have economic method to collect space debris let alone asteroid mining...............its just a wet dream. :)
