Don't forget The James Webb Space Telescope. With its spectroscopy it will be able to detect photosynthesis and oxygen on planets outside our solar system if its there. That means it will be able to detect life on distant planets. If life is detected, that could launch the first ever multi generational interstellar space race, even if it doesn't involve humans going at first.

I remember when India sent a probe to space. The cost was half the amount Real Madrid paid for Gareth Bale. This means that Real Madrid could have bought a less talented player and could have also sent a probe to space.

Edit: I wrote this comment, went to sleep, woke up this morning and arguments abound. Amazing.

Anyway I like space, Real Madrid is not my team but I respect them, and Gareth Bale is amazing.

Imagine travelling back in time and being able to explain to the earliest humans what life is like in this day and age.

What a time to be alive!

I wish space wasn’t plagued by politics between countries. Would love to see all space agencies work together!

I remember when NY Times mocked India on it's Mars Mission with a cartoon showing an Indian with a cow knocking the door of elite people of space race.
Later apologized as India became the first nation to reach Mars orbit on it's maiden attempt.

“Saying there is no life in the universe because we haven’t found any evidence is like going to the beach and scooping up a glass full of water, and saying ‘there are no whales in this ocean'" - Dexter

Damn, now i can't stop thinking about what it would've been like to encounter Antarctica as a Pacific Islander, it would be the opposite of the environment you're used to. Surely would've been seen as significant to them, maybe those who find themselves near the icy shores would think they are dead, that this is some sort of hellish frozen afterlife.

Despite so many other things going wrong the last two years, the fact that the James Webb Telescope launched and is so far deploying properly is one of the best things happening. I am really excited for whatever they end up discovering through it.

The curiosity to discover what's out there, is what keeps mankind going. Love from 🇮🇳

I'm going to be honest, I missed the first space race by about 3 decades, but I am SO looking forward to the exciting explorations of our species in the 2020s! Let's just remember to keep them civil and war-free.

RLL really is a great channel. I discovered it while “participating” in my online classes. This is very good content. Keep it up

“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff”.

im speechless, i fell sorry for those who don't believe space exists and/or we've been to the moon. Our biggest accomplishments they willfully throw away due to a conspiracy.

It’s crazy how much humanity has progressed, the fact that we are having this kind of discussion today about mars exploration and etc.. is like a science fiction scenario in the 80s or 70s. We really are in the future

[fluttzkrieg]

It never ceases to amaze me how humans went from huddling around a fire in caves as predators waited around every corner, to completely and utterly dominating the food chain and landing on other planets.

Started getting into space exploration since last year. It has been incredible to see the progress this last year.

Imagine the mindfuck if humanity had somehow invented sattelites without having discovered Australia first.

Think about it for a moment...space is to us, what earth was to our ancestors at some point.

For the most part of the human history, people have pondered about the vastness of earth, the same way we today ponder about the vastness of space! I bet some would've even believed that Earth is infinite!

Isn't it amazing that we happen to live exactly at a point in time when the whole world has been mapped! We've all seen images of the earth from above, and most of us have even flown above the clouds and gazed downwards! Imagine if you had spawned at a time when no one knew anything...

RealLifeLore, god bless you for your thought-provoking videos! I have been watching your videos since the very first day you made your first upload! Keep up the good job!
