Weird Things Begin to Happen When You Go into Deep Space

In this video, we explore both the horrors and beauties of deep space—the unfathomable vastness and emptiness, and the unsettling size and nature of its objects. Perhaps one of space's most remarkable wonders is our ability to (mostly) safely marvel at it all from down here on Earth.

As always, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed.

[Soundsaboutright]

It's crazy listening to this and we all still get up just to work for money. We should be enjoying this life much more.

The funny part of it all is that no matter how terrified you are of space, youre in it. Youre made of it. Everywhere you look, is it. The great mystery.

[DERIVATIVES-mhej]

"enjoy the fear while you can still feel it" was cold ash

[imXenoid]

I’m not terrified of space. It leaves me in awe and I find myself inspired by the power and significance of it. It’s the most beautiful art

6:04 "Twinkle, twinkle."

No truer words to live by 😭

[mellochord]

The size of the universe crushes the soul, reduces us to meaningless cells in a lonely framework. It destroys the ego, smashes it so that it can't be mended, and for that, I'm grateful.

[JustaNobody-jx]

Space is so terrifying because it’s a reminder of how small and insignificant we really are in the grand scheme of things. It’s the vast void on full display where you realize it’s staring right back at you, intensifying your existential dread.

[sjzz]

This is exactly what I like to listen before going to sleep.

[Teffy]

It’s insane how big these stars and planets get. It’s beyond comprehension

[FuturesInPastTense]

Great video. To quote Star Trek: “It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.”

[CaseyW]

This made me reflect on people signing up to colonize Mars. Go hang out in Siberia for a week and get back to me. Leaving the planet, and signing up for the afformentioned idea but permanently, and never having the possibility of any of the comforts we take for granted here is just not going to work. Unless we're preceded by drones (for example) that would prepare the planet for our arrival to extreme degrees, it's just a death sentence carried out through a vehicle of madness and agony, ending in failure. If you go to Antarctica, you can always return home or be rescued (promptly, most importantly). Landing on the red tundra of Mars and being trapped there is a horrifying concept.

‘Enjoy the fear while you can still feel it…’
I got shivers from that closing quote. Masterfully written my friend!

[Lovedomi]

This channel keeps adding to my existential crisis, yet I keep coming back 🥲

[esconis]

What's scary is how we can only see a small proportion of space, and the idea that it could be infinite, our minds can't fathom it, we don't know what is beyond the depths we can't see. The unknown is what scares us the most.

[Kazuma]

Fear nothing. Infinity will reclaim everything. And from nothing, everything else will emerge again. and again.

[SimplyJuanny]

When you close your eyes and go to sleep you are in a void. It’s actually quite comforting if you don’t panic

[fernkai]

The "twinkle twinkle" caught me off guard 💀

[skullywise]

sometimes i feel humans are terrifing, but this is on a another level

[jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

Honestly, I think a really good cosmic horror story could be made from the perspective of the crew of a ship that found itself stranded in a star system stick in the middle of Bootes Void
