End of Space – Creating a Prison for Humanity

Space travel is the most exciting adventure for humanity, but in an irony of history we may stop ourselves from going into space the more we do it. With every rocket launched we are creating a deadly trap for mankind.

Humanity's endless ability to shoot itself in the foot.

[Trivvy]

Man, Kurzgesagt is such a damn rollercoaster. One month: Here's a reason to be horribly afraid! The next: Here's a reason to be hopeful! The next: Here's a reason why that previous hopeful thing is irrelevant, and you should STILL be afraid!

[LadyDoomsinger]

Alien #1: "Should we invade that little blue planet?"
Alien #2: "Are you crazy?! They surrounded their entire planet with an impenetrable Sphere of Death!"

[rkirk]

Honestly, it sounds like the setting for a cyberpunk future:
"What do you do for a living?"
"Oh, you know, I pilot drones in low-earth-orbit, sucking up 60-year old space debris and harpooning defunct satellites. The hours suck, but the benefits are good."

[sabredragostea]

One of humanity's greatest continued faults:
Creating something new and cool but forgetting to make a way to clean it up.

[swiftyunknown]

Thanks for giving me more un-needed anxiety.

“We might trap ourselves on our planet.” I think I found the Great Filter.

[trifectumart]

It's ironic that our only other method to escape pollution is being blocked by the debre of our attempts to reach new locations

[CodeineRadick]

6:58 the most brutal death scene ever on this show.

[pjani]

Psychologist: So how do you feel about casual super violent deaths of birds in animated form?
Kurzgesagt: Yes

[thejesuschrist]

The Kessler syndrome is scary as Hell. Glorious job Kurzgesagt!

[teresablue]

This actually fills me with hope.. What a kind universe it would be if this was the great filter; if this was why we don't see any aliens.

[TheLifeFormulaa]

Love the animations. They are so clean

[Meileehere]

Me: The earth is polluted, the ocean is polluted, the air is polluted. What else could we possibly pollute?
Space: Think again!

[ckl]

Perhaps the Kessler Effect is the Great Filter. A species' early attempts to colonise space lead to it's entrapment. Though this wouldn't necessarily stop ground based transmission of signals, if we'd even hear those.

[shehzadag]

This video in a nutshell:
*If we dont do something about the **_stuff_** in space soon, we could have a boss level quarantine*

[timbroski]

Me to Kurzgesagt:
Can you stop giving me anxiety...

...for FIVE minutes

[widowmaker]

Kurzgesagt is one of those few entities that care more about educating the public than cash. They deserve our support in whatever way we can offer.

[spoon]

you know its REALLY bad when kurzgesagt's narrator himself says that its HORRIFYING
