Great video. Once again you have managed to bring a level of detail that other people just don’t seem to be able to.

I hope they find another object out there. Hopefully it won't require JWST, cause that is years away...

[ardentdfender]

Great work as always. Always luv the intelligent guests and well done interview as well letting the guests fully answer the questions. Am always much smarter as well st the end.

When an object is relatively small like that, it seems like they can't even tell for sure what shape it is until they are almost upon it, within a day or so. Wouldn't it be awesome if this happened and the object turned out to be some sort of long-dead alien probe!!

While I love the speculative mulling on your other channel, I've really grown to prefer this in-depth interview channel. It's like a front seat show for space discoveries.

Many of your interview subjects seem surprised by your level of knowledge on the topics, and I think your expertise really makes this show work. The level of interview is really elevated when the interview subject doesn't feel they have to dumb things down. Additionally, you bring some speculative, but reasoned, questions to every interview, which I love!

Thanks for making this

Once they've downloaded the data, why can't they just send a delete command and open up some space? I wanted to joke about the HD space but it was 2006. Still, even then, 4GB was nothing.

[big_hendy]

what type of "fuel" does these probes use? a sort of air jet to push in a direction?

[stevenjones]

Sounds like we need to park Hubble out in the Kuiper Belt.

did the flyby succeed? i cannot find that information on the internet

[NoPulseForRussians]

Is there any outgassing of any sort of still too far out for that? Also, that axis of rotation is very peculiar for such an elongated body.
