Reducing Space Waste Before, During, and After Missions | Compilation

Right now, discarded parts from old spacecraft, bags of pee, and dead probes are just floating around in space, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Let's take a look at some of the ways we've figured out to reduce, reuse, and recycle in space.

How meta - Scishow space recycles old episodes about recycling into a new one.

Please label compilation videos, much appreciated

[MultivectorAnalysis]

Compilation video. I didn't mind it when they would label their compilation videos, but now it feels like I've been clickbaited

[deawinter]

Agreeee that this should have “compilation” in the title, I LIKE compilations and will happily put them on as background noise but it’s still disorienting to click on a video and then be like “wait, haven’t I seen this?”

[germimonte]

add compilation to the title, if less ppl watch them its bc ppl DON'T LIKE COMPILATIONS

[carbon_no]

Reid, is by far my favorite host of this channel!

[player_fanatic]

Another compilation video that is not marked as such in the title...

[RahulDoiphode]

Yaay glad to see Reid again! He is one of the best presenters on this show :)

"I've looked over your application to the NASA waste reclamation division, and I'm happy to say... Yer in!"

That's a weird looking TARDIS on the thumbnail.



Sorry, couldn't help myself. Great video. 👍

Is this a compilation that wasn’t listed as a compilation? Hate rewatching old videos in a longer format when I already have watched most of them…

[SharpnessSword]

No way you could put "compilation" in the thumbnail or something could you, I've already seen most videos you have made, been subscribed since the channel was made

11:34 "The deep impact mission was designed to slam a probe into a comet while the probe's mothership watched".

I'll reiterate: "SLAM A PROBE INTO A COMET WHILE THE PROBE'S MOTHERSHIP WATCHED"

My gosh, I can't. My heart is too weak for this. You can't do this to us Scishow. That language, it's... something else.

Retitle the yeast, bacteria and algae segment. Suggestion: The Dawn of the Andromeda Strain.

[MildStallion]

Please include the word "Compilation" in the title for compilation videos. Please and thank you.

One way to utilize stuff that can't be recycled is to compress it and bond it together with a epoxy and the stick it close to the outside of your habitat. It acts like stand off armor and the best part it would cost very little overall energy to implement

The thumbnail reminds me of Dr Poo and the TURDIS from Sydney’s JJ radio.

[marilynlucero]

This is a compilation, please mark it as such.

[omegahunter]

Still waiting for uploads to Scishow Pee

Captain Nemo had a lot of problems too.
