A whole Sci show on SPACE?! My initial reaction before I remembered I'm subscribed already

[ellenbryn]

I'd love a tour of, say, the biggest five Plutoids, because a lot of Pluto-fans don't realize that part of the problem was that we started finding a lot of other Pluto-sized worlds out there, and we didn't want to have to make schoolkids memorize ALL of them! (Also, Pluto is smaller than most people realize; seeing it superimposed on a map of the US is surprising.) Besides, more people should know about Haumea. It's nifty! :)

The SciShow multiverse does crossovers in itself 👍🏻

I hope there are similar promo videos for the other SciShow properties: Kids, Psych and Pee.

Me: "awww"

Nice video, and nice evolution of Reid into his current form, which happens to be my favorite.

I genuinely and honestly think that the possibility of being the only intelligent life in the universe is scarier than being one of many.

You should make one about the moons, the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt.

[boepsie]

30:13 omg I'm so mature, I laughed my ass off when she said, "Let's take a look at Uranus first"

[Pxslz]

There's some serious theories around creating a magnetosphere for Mars. My personal favorite of which is just placing an artifical one at the Lagrange points to do basically the same thing with a much smaller magnetic field.

26:05 but wouldnt that put Venus' "surface" *well* above the rocky surface? or does this definition only apply to gaseous planets?
