Every known planet, moon, and asteroid in our solar system occupies a volume of space both enormous and yet tiny compared to the vast empty gulf between stars. But interstellar space isn't truly empty and may one day be home to countless billion of isolated deep space habitats.

    Born to early to travel the stars but born right on time to learn from Isaac. Thank you for your hard work. Live long and prosper friends🖖🏻
  • you missed a chance at the beginning of the video. "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." I guess you recognize the book.
  • @mjk9388
    My favorite channel for the last 5 years since I joined. Proud to be a Patreon supporter of this great work.
  • 2nd, @ 16 secs? Wow! Arthur, you are brave! For someone who struggled with rhotacism to venture the word "walruses" (and pull it off with aplomb) takes a high degree of confidence. You could have chosen any other 'uplifted species' to mention, but hey, why not show off your progress? Good job, my friend. You're doing great!
  • @lutzererm5004
    That "history" story was just beautiful. Fantastic episode, as always.
  • These sorts of videos give me a sense of hope. A reminder that this narrow slice of time we occupy is not all that there is.
  • Opening of video: Isaac: "Inside this vast, empty expanse of space we have our 8 major planets..." Me: Watching intensely with nervous anticipation Video animation: shows Pluto right after Neptune Me, with all of my childhood nostalgia: "Ha! BOOM!!"
  • @prakadox
    Come for the deep space habitats, stay for the uplifted walruses. Great narration and content, Isaac and Sarah!
  • @BigZebraCom
    I was going to build a deep space habitat -- but then I got tied up with all the odd jobs around the house. And I have to dry wall the unfinished basement.
  • @humanoid2423
    This is my favourite yt channel alongwith event horizon & fraiser Cain. You guys quench all my thirst for cosmic awesomeness.
  • You never mentioned the Ousters of the Hyperion Cantos as an example! Escaping tyranny has been a major drive in colonization efforts throughout human history and would likely be so again in space. And any philosophies of nomadism would also favor deep space habitation. Awesome video! Dramatizations like the DS10 bit shows off your fertile imagination, Isaac.
  • @Lukegear
    I almost read "Deep State" and thought this was a different channel lol
  • Man I love your short stories that you fit in with topics like this. Really helps to visualize them. You should really consider writing a book or short novel one of these days, if you haven't already.
  • isaac, thanks for suggesting "the gods themselves". my first time reading a full length asimov and its a blast.
  • I remember what Robert Heinlein said about taxes. "Beware of strong drink. It can cause you to shoot at tax collectors... and miss!"

  • I love this kind of videos, colonizing space, colonizing planets, future world etc. are my favourite topics. Keep it up Isaacđź‘Ť
  • By far, one of the best written and captivating episodes you’ve ever put out! Love this stuff! Thanks Isaac!
  • i love the examples and stories. following the development of ds10 was amazing. i'd love to see a similar treatment as a full episode, either for an in-system hab cluster, or for an entire dyson swarm
