The Moon has been one of the most important theoretical stepping stones to our understanding of the universe. We’ve long understood that it could also be our literal stepping stone: humanity’s first destination beyond our atmosphere.

Because we're running low on cheese.
-
"We could only pretend that we are the center of the universe for so long when we can literally see the detailed surface of another world with naked eyes" quote of the decade
-
"Okay, boss. We finished building your lunar base!" "Why is it shaped like that?" "You wanted a *checks notes* crude lunar base." "I wanted a CREWED lunar base."
-
I think Mars is interesting from a scientific perspective, but from an engineering perspective for a society who is looking to expand beyond Earth, the Moon is the easiest way to develop technology and procedures for continued expansion.
-
I read a sci-fi short story once in which many of the people watching the eclipse were disguised aliens here to just go "Wow, that's crazy!"
-
China was not the first unmanned probe to return rock samples. The Soviets did it with Luna-16 and 20 returned rocks,. and Luna-24 drilled and returned a two-meter core sample.
-
After so many years, being 31 now, I was worried we've truly given up on space, felt like this quote hit too hard: "We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt" - Interstellar, but now seeing this gives me hope 🙂
-
“that PARTICULAR Cold War” 😬
-
I kept hearing 'crewed' as 'crude' and thought that was a pretty bold comment on the sophistication of those missions
-
Correction 9:38 The Soviet Luna 16 (in 1970) was the first robotic probe to land on the Moon and return a sample to Earth and represented the first lunar sample return mission by the Soviet Union and the third overall.
-
Crazy to think that one day soon, we'll have a 4k live feed from the Lunar surface.
-
I love the book, Artemis, written by Andy Weir. At the end of this century, we've colonised the moon and discovered rich aluminium oxide deposits. Andy Weir is the one that wrote The Martian, and Artemis is definitely as worthy of a read.
-
14:09 time on the moon ticks a little bit faster (weaker gravitational field), not slower.
-
Well, Charon probably doesn’t count anymore because Pluto is a dwarf planet these days…but Charon is crazy big compared to Pluto…
-
Lunar Time — needs its own episode surely!
-
Excellent! Finally, and episode I understood from start to finish!
-
14:08 Doesn't time tick a tiny bit slower on earth compared to moon's surface?
-
0:31 black hole sun wont you come
-
Artemis III has already been postponed to 2027
-
You're the best science communicator I'm aware of, thanks Matt.
