Yo Matt you are honestly my favourite YouTube keep your amazing work.

Just a small suggestion. The perihelion distances for Parker that you quoted were in gigameters. I would suggest giving distances instead in both Km and miles as those two would be better understood by the less technically minded people you want to attract to continue to build this great series. Keep up the good work!

First 40 seconds gives me bigtime "build mode" music vibes from sims 1

[randomestbluer]

"Honey, where's your car?"
"It got destroyed by flaming hot rocket debris."
