  • Bezos? Branson? Elon Musk? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice break down why all these billionaires are going to space. What does “first commercial space flight” even mean?
    We get into all the hoopla about the billionaire space race. Is pooling resources to try to send their private businesses into space really worth it? Didn’t we already send people into orbit already? We break down these landmark space flights, why they matter, and what they mean. How far into space did they go? Discover the sensation of weightlessness and how many Gs the human body can really withstand.

Not that I think there's some large number of people who would/could be lining up to pay for this stuff anyway.

Mocking new inventions and innovations is foolish. It took the car about 200 years to get here, but there had to be a first one to start. Could anyone see themselves being ridden by a horse carrier everywhere? I don't think so.

      @Anthroposophus wind travel goes up to certain point high then side ways, airplane uses air to push travel sideways and if they go to space they fall because there's no gas to push, and you use your legs to push the ground and go up beating gravity momentarily. There's not enough gas to go higher, it's seems you don't realise how big 6.700 km with 100km thickness is. There's not enough gas to go higher, Jupiter doesn't have a true surface and only made out off gas but it's stay round

      @zackfiat607 2 года назад

      @Anthroposophus the difference between your examples and gas is in your examples there is a force pushing it beating gravity momentarily but not enough to escape it, but there's no outside force pushing gas up so they use their own density to create layer until there's not enough to go higher. 100km is still a long way to escape gravity

      No matter where you travel, "space" is never "empty". It is ALWAYS a matter of degree -- even in deep space beyond the Solar System.
      If YOU were put to sleep and then reawakened at the height of both the Spaceshiptwo AND the New Shepherd flights -- you would be unable to tell the difference visually by just looking out the window. The number of air molecules at both maximum heights are so few that it would require special instrumentation to confirm they even exist.

I even get my medicine sorrt out by day in little packages, always on time, unlike regular pharmacies that yell at you because you didn't answer your phone and now you have to wait a day to see if they deliver it then providing I answer my phone on time again. I really don't care if the owner makes all that money, how does making him pay more helps me? That means it will be more expensive for people like me.

    Neil De Grasse Tyson makes everything better. I really enjoyed his after thoughts with Chuck.
