Mars is a disappointing hellhole lacking practically everything we need to stay alive. It looks like we’ll only ever have small crews spend a miserable time hidden underground. Except, we could terraform it into a green new world. But to solve the planet’s problems, we first need to make it worse and turn it into oceans of lava with gigantic lasers.

Hi my name is AUGHHHH

How come no one replied 3 hours ago?

Considering giant space mirrors have been a key technology in many of these "futurist" videos... it'd be neat to have a video exploring how we could make them, transport them, and keep them locked in the position we need them in!
Agreed. We all need to bomb this comment with likes so they see it.
This indeed what we need after this
I think they would not make it because then they would have to go more in detail into the physics and mathematics involved and that would not necessarily appeal to a wider audience than giving an overview
We can already do that. Its just super expensive and so there's no point to doing it until we have a very good reason.
The 🅿👅 explanation in these 🚑👳 sort of videos 😏😏 seems 🔥👀 so 🙇❓ simple 😏 like 💘😏 all 👦 this can happen in 👇👉 a 👩 few weeks, whereas if we actually 🚟 started 💢 doing such ❤😽 stuff, it 💯 would take centuries
This all sounds so hard to do, but for a planet without mosquitoes? Absolutely worth it
Think of it as a second second safegame.
If something goes bad on earth we can load and continue the game.
Otherwise it's game over.
I know rightttt..whyy die from a small mosquito bite that itches for a minute than suffer with bone cancer from radiation and have your bones crumble like biscuits under low gravity?
Mars will have their own - Marsquitos.
I'd skip wasps as well.
@@SnoopyDoofie damn you had me rolling over this
Honestly, just love the way you started this one. Like a disappointed father talking about his son: "Mars is a dissapointing hellhole, that can't keep anything alive". Just love it
I’m imagining a far future where humanity has constructed a Dyson Swarm, a Caplan Thruster and has terraformed both Mars AND Venus, and it’s genuinely giving me chills.
hopefully they also made a laser to kill mosquitos
Except its impossible
@@nikolaiunzucced507it is with attitude like that
@@Finwaell lmao its not about attitude, its about realising how reality works
@@nikolaiunzucced507 talk to People of the 19th 18th century or even before common era that we can go to the moon & mars in the future and see their reaction

The pandemic really changed our perspectives huh.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ha exactly
ok
It'll be super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
We can have a virus free world
We can have a mosquito free world
It makes my child-like brain very happy knowing how many problems can be fixed with a big laser
just not in our live time, or that of our grand children's grand children
"But we want to be quick, and we have a big laser."
In addition to that , A lot of things can also be fixed with a Big Bomb
beeg laser go brrrrrrrrrrrrr
@@holthuizenoemoet591 this is where it gets pathetic and sad, We do have every thing needed right now to start doing it, but right now we're retarded by ancient mythologies and myopic people who's short term greed out weighs the survival of the very planet never mind our species. Worse yet we're back sliding, you have organized groups gas lighting people that plainly obvious and demonstrable things don't exist like viruses because some con artist wants to sell magical water.
imagine pissing off the guy in control of the laser and your house gets deleted
Image pissing off the guy controlling your planet's magnetic field protection and your planet gets deleted
imagine pissing off god and your universe gets deleted
imagine pissing off john wick and getting your entire bloodline wiped out
Honestly, these vids just highlight to me just how important it is to take care of our planet, because terraforming another one will take generations upon generations of work.
And most important (imo), this is the only 100% human-habitable planet we have. It's the only world in the entire universe that's completely ideal for us to live on, right out of the box. Other planets won't have our biosphere, even if they're perfect in every other respect, so we need to learn how Earth works before we can build those features into other worlds.
@@Kevin_Street I will not presume to make any inference about the entire universe, which we have observed less than a fraction of a percentage of. However, even if a world that is completely ideal for us does exist somewhere, it takes us years just to get to Mars, so interstellar travel is out of the question for us.
This all sounds so hard to do
😲😳😲😳😲
Nice
Excellent
Very nice video
Hi
7:55 Using the terraforming laser to annihilate Mosquitoes is a perfectly reasonable decision

I agree very apropriate.
I've been planning to do this for a while, and I'm glad they gave a step by step tutorial on how to do terraformation.
If mars declared independence, I could see the magnetic ring station being a potential hot spot for war
I like how you actually manage to make a video about _terraforming Mars_ feel like a tutorial
What are you talking abour? This video is gonna be useful for my next school project
Yooooo right
Or a simulation game like Rollercoaster Tycoon.
Instructions unclear, lasered Planet Earth instead. 💀

Cant wait for “How to terraform Mercury” next
I love how their videos start with "how to" as if it is a tutorial like "oh btw here's how to make mars habitable"
Don't you terraform Mars every day, it's quite a normal thing to do
7:50 the best part about terraforming a planet from a dead state, is (as long as you prevent stowaways) you choose what things you introduce and can build a pest free planet from the ground up.
Terraforming an entire planet seems so god-like. The scenes of giant lasers poking through dark clouds looks so unreal and divine, yet in theory it’s entirely possible. So interesting
The fact that we even have the laser technology almost figured out is pretty cool too
I feel like the scene would be not so out of place having anakin Skywalker getting his legs cuts off by obi-wan
Lot's of stuff we do today is god like in historical context. Modern thermonuclear bombs are literally biblical scale destruction. Bleach would be incredibly miraculous to ancient people, pour a little into putrid, fetid water and it instantly becomes clean, that's like something straight out of the bible. It's a fun mental exercise to think about our technology in historical context, or how our ancestors would react to it.
@@evilalchemist9278 Interesting! You make a great point; as a result of technology advancements over the past few decades, what were once regarded as engineering marvels have become commonplace. It makes me ponder and believe that what we currently consider inconceivable may soon become a reality. Indeed, it is a thought-provoking premise that technological advancements have expanded our options for exploration and innovation by expanding the bounds of what is conceivable.

This isn't even a joke, a Kurzgesagt game about terraforming planets would be absolutely incredible
YES.
Or a movie
even if it was just a Kurzgesagt game i’ll get it. Teraforming or no teraforming it will be good
@@cjsantiago4035 they have a game
There’s a game called TerraGenesis on mobile platforms that does this well imo
"But we need it faster and we have lasers" - honestly, out of context it's such a wonderful quote.
Seems like what walter white would say to jesse
I can agree with that.
Impressive work! I love "Terraforming Planets" videos!
thank you so much, and keep making these beautiful videos
Fun fact: Giant and/or deadly lasers solve every problem. If you can’t solve a problem with a laser, then the problem is you
So the laser is not a final solution?
@@janbernad4729 It is. Because if you are the problem, then a laser can eliminate the problem, that being you.
Good to see Senator sharing his wisdom online
If a giant laser doesn't solve your problem, clearly you're not pointing it at the right target!
and even that can be solved
"At this point we can slowly introduce more plant varieties, insects and animals. Not mosquitoes, though''
Best line in this video.
Definetely!
That part made me laugh cause i always hated mosquitoes 😆
Best fucking line!
Plenty of other pollinators around thankfully
YES!
I really like how he is explaining ,this video is amazing!
I love that he says in every video " *Well, it's complicated* "
I love how lasers have become the answer to so many things since their invention.
move aside, nanomachines
got an issue? shoot a giant laser beam at it!!!
Like mosquitoes.
Tattoo? Laser
Wars? Laser
Annoying kids? Lasers
@Skynet They would already acknowledge our existence if they could see a deflected laser and not multiple planets being terraformed
Imagine this video didn't exist and someone in a thousand years had to present a presentation to a board explaining why blasting Mars with giant lasers is a fantastic idea.
I think we should fix our own planet before we moved on to a different one 😅
Kurzgesagt: This is not a far-off science fiction scenario
Also Kurzgesagt: The mirrors have to be eleven times the size of the United States.
but thinner than a sheet of paper
Also the nitrogen one
just casually skipping the fact that primary succession is a process that takes thousands of years on earth, let alone on a planet with absolutely no previously established species. essentially restarting the process from scratch could take tens, or hundreds of thousands of years. people conveniently don't realize how delicate the systems we have on earth are.
Total mirror area is that big, not each individual mirror. A swarm of smaller mirrors will accomplish the same task.
This scale is piecemeal once you start scaling up automated space manufacturing to the point where you're around 0.1% of the manufacturing base needed to build a proper Dyson Swarm. Send a factory that can build copies of itself and robotic mining stations and mirror factories to the asteroid belt, and direct the geometric growth of your space industrial infrastructure from home. Even better, after these factories make the mirrors and lasers to terraform Mars, they can keep making mirrors to get started on that Dyson Swarm.
@@Terminator484 you should play factorio
"Not mosquitoes though" I love this channel
I died 😅
True that pest dies on earth.
Terraforming Mars may be difficult but at least there will not be mosquitoes
Mosquitoes get the petawatt laser
F*ck mosquitos man. I hate them. Most annoying and dangerous insects on earth.
It would be so cool if Kurzgesagt created a video game like the ones that were used to show the tereforming of Venus and Mars and the narrator, well, narrates
Edit: It would be cool if you have already terraformed Venus, you can use its nitrogen instead of Saturn's moon for mars!
Thanks I've been looking for a tutorial
This whole process would make a really good interplanetary factory builder game.
Surviving Mars & Terraforming Mars come close.
Have you heard of Dyson Sphere Program?
I was about to comment the same thing. A game to make this happen in 2 months instead of 10 generations would be worth playing. Like Sims, but you have to make a planet and then sustain life on it
yeah I've been thinking about that ever since the Moon video came out
Haha, ur right!
The mosquito being zapped by the giant laser is priceless. I love the humor.
Give them Vampire ahhh annoying bugs what they deserve

@@cadejust6777 😅
@@cadejust6777 Because mosquitos are basically parasites. They're only good for being food, and they can spread diseases extremely quickly. Wasps/hornets help pollinate flowers, which is essential and helps a lot in their ecosystems. A lot of flies can also pollinate and get rid of pests that negatively affect plants. Rats are scavengers, they droppings can be fertilizer, and they provide good food for larger predators. Almost every species plays an important part in their ecosystem, mosquitoes do not
@@cadejust6777 Because they Kill us the most yearly.
I love everything about this. Let's get started!
I needed this I was going to terraform Mars but I didn't know how this video has been very helpful😂
The mention of “big laser” is very amusing to me. It’s just so absurd, I love it. It’s rather sad that I won’t see this planet with no mosquitos though
“The sun is a deadly laser”
At some point someone will accidentally introduce mosquitos on mars, and ruin the fun of humans
starkiller base lmao
with such deadly lasers, before terraforming the Mars, we would terraform Earth first into worse than Mars
wonder if it’d be easier (or possible) to just use a lens like a magnifying glass in between mars and the sun to turn the sun into a laser.
This video just shows how precious and unique our home is and we should not take it for granted because there is nowhere else to go.
There's always death
Agreed. As a species, we really need to re-dedicate our efforts towards good stewardship of the earth. Protecting and rewilding habitats. Ending mass animal slaughter. Sustaining resources instead of depleting them. Generally, breaking this insane cycle that is the global treadmill of production.
We will have to leave eventually no matter what, so thinking about stuff like this is pretty important for the future
@@MegaClaymore123 We're talking about millions of years here. We could inhabit thousands of Marses by then. Maybe let's try this first and see how it works out, yeah?
@@firewithfire2745 Are you a bot?
So optimistic! Needed this!
Extremely good, extremely helpful, and extremely useful video.
I love the idea of having a giant hyper accurate death laser made specifically for killing mosquitoes
Seconded!
Vader thought the same thing. He just had a wider range of what a mosquito is
If we terraformed another planet and someone decided to bring mosquitoes over I'd deterraform it.
Whatever kills those little idiots
@@williamlembke7828 well technically it still killed the mosquito
i really like the fine detail of choosing NOT to bring mosquitoes to terraformed mars which was pointed out by one of the commenters in the terraforming venus video... it's like kurzgesagt really really cares about the community and it's really wholesome.
I want them to mention my cat in their upcoming videos ..Or else I will revolt on behalf of the cat community
The mosquitoes are left behind to die on Earth.
Mosquitos are vital pollinators for many species tho :( it's only the females of a few species that bite us when they need a little extra protein for their eggs, the rest of the time they drink nectar like the other mosquitos
@@miacorliss1151 frick that we got bees
@@martinacocca4225 the noble skeeto, once again disrespected!! you gotta have more than just bees!! for instance, did you know that midges, another bug that people complain about biting them, are what pollinates chocolate? mosquitos themselves are the pollinators of many orchids
Noice thanks for the tutorial cant wait to try it myself 😊
Watching this makes me quite melancholic, we're on the verge of the most amazing part of human history, and none of us will live to see it.
A lot of terraforming featutres in movies and games always fail to mention the lower levels on the food chain as a major aspect of the process. It's awesome to see you highlighting on it.
The only ones who get excited about low level food chain species are biologist, the general public usually only cares about animals they can see.
When I was worldbuilding a subterranean ecosystem without sunlight, it made me appreciate that part of the food chain way more than previously.
Vegans disagree.
@@lw3106 vegans can stop taking food away from my lunch.
There shouldn't be a "food chain".
Our proximal goal should be to deinstall the "food chain" here, not to extend the suffering to other planets.
I think the whole “transferring a mirror 11 times the size of the USA to mars” thing is kind of a dealbreaker
It's not 1 mirror. It's thousands. Millions. It wouldn't really be that hard if we had the technology to actually reach a place like Mercury and Titan. He went over it in the Venus video.
Consider that if you can make it really thin it would be easy. Have you ever handled gold leaf? It's so thin it'll genuinely fly through the room if you so much as breathe at it, and still it's just as reflective as a normal mirror. Just mount some metal on a sheet of something like graphene and you'll be fine, and you can launch ridiculous amounts in a single flight.
@@noob19087 that thin, and it practically flies itself to Mars. All we'll need to do is slow it down
@@noob19087 How do you keep them all aligned noob19087? Individual thrusters with 100 years of thruster fuel on board? Nope. This is dumb.
I think it's depressing that the only comment showing an ounce of critical thought gets 15 likes. Praise for the laser-ness of it gets thousands.
This channel is like a funny textbook. It teaches everything and gives a lot of kokes to keep us entertained. Krep up the gteat work
Big problem with this idea: the Martians won't be happy.
Thank you. The entire time I was thinking “Yeah, but what about the magnetic field?” Glad you covered.
Even with a magnetic field generator, you've still got "Jeans escape" where air molecules manage to reach escape velocity and get yeeted to space. Fortunately, that doesn't happen very fast, so we've got about a million years or so before Mars needs more air.
I was asking to myself "But what about gravity?" most of the time, and it wasn't really covered. Wouldn't animals (including humans) have serious issues with their circulatory systems, muscles, and bones? The effects of low or zero gravity on our bodies is pretty well documented, and it's never good.
@@prim16 It's bad when you return to Earth, but what about if you live on Mars?
@@prim16 I assume the process of building the biosphere would involve genetically engineering animals (and potentially the colonists themselves) to do well under low-gravity conditions. Outside of that, you could also enforce a mandatory exercise regimen to avoid bone and muscle atrophy, like how astronauts on the ISS do it.
@Prim I was thinking the same, I guess it depends because the plant and animal life that evolve could naturally incorporate that variable. It would be redwood style canopies instead of pine trees and giraffe-like animals instead of hedgehogs or something. I don't know if gene editing can fix the gravity problem for humans because gravity is physics, not biology. I guess people would just have to go to the gym a lot. They could have a kind of mandatory gym academy where they log in the amount of hours they exercise. Like a kind of gym style union hall.

When it comes to Colonization type videos, No one can beat Kurzgesagt in terms of delivery and visuals. The whole idea of literally changing another planet to make it habitable fascinates me
…except they never discuss the role of nanotech/nanobots, infesting the soul and doing much of the work at unprecedented scale/speed before we ever need to set foot on the planet. They can mine, sequester, break-up, build, etc

Feels like we're basically building a new planet in space at this point. Crazy. Really makes you appreciate what we have already on this little blue planet we call home.
It's so easy to take the things you get for free for granted. It's a miracle to be alive, not to struggle for resources, to be loved, to share a culture in the first place.
What could possibly go wrong?! lol I was facepalming at the notion of bottling nitrogen from Saturn's Titan planet and "shoot it" over to Mars. Yeah ok.
@@BillAnt It's not as out there as you might think. There is a company today that's developing technology that amounts to just throwing things into space with a giant spinning arm, and the method is showing significant promise to my understanding.
Obi Wan Kenobi: Use the force, Luke. Use the force.
@WungusBill The nitrogen is to imported from Titan, not Saturn. Titan has gravity lower than our moon. Launching capsules with Spinlaunch or rail accelerator is very feasible. And so is a space elevator.
i watched this video as my first kuzgesagt video. and oooohh boy, this has a LOT of effort i see. +1 sub dude!
Very informative and entertaining video!
A giant mega-laser of doom, a swarm of solar-catching mirrors, a big f*ing magnet-umbrella and a planet without mosquitoes. I can die happy now, just with the idea of it.
To be fair that's all it will ever be is an idea, these ideas are cool, but assuming we will ever be able to create space mirrors the size of continents, "mass drivers" that shoot things into space and towards planets accurately, space lasers, a giant superconductor ring powered by nuclear reactors that I guess just don't need monitored or maintained? None of this is possible in any foreseeable future, let alone the claimed 60-100 years they are claiming. It will be hundreds of years before we even have the technology to BEGIN thinking about PLANNING any of these things.
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660he problem is being united. A country can't do that. İt needs the whole world. The technology is not the problem. We will evengualy have it. But we wont be able to use it to have a batter planet , or to have anyting better to be honest. We will be using it on each others. Think about it, whit all the technology and power the humans have, the only think that made humans go to the space was to compate whit each other. This kinda project is possible but the People doing it wont be abla to see it, because it whoud take around 200 years to make. For making a new planet, that isn't a big number. But no one will do it. Because men only cares for himself. And 4 generations of man working only for the next genarion is the imposible part. If there is no benefit for them, they wont do sh*t. The funny part is, the reason we need a new planet to beyin whit was because the same man who only cared for themselfs fucked up the world and wont do sh*t about it because the climant change and forests being gone is not their problem, its the new generations problem. The things that are in this video sounds like ist from star trek or something, but we are talking about a 200 years of time. About a 65 years ago we went to space.

The proposed process highlights the intricate challenges involved in transforming a barren planet into a habitable world.
Please make a videogame about terraforming (could be throughout the entire solar system with increasing difficulty per planet). With your style - as perfectly shown in this video - this would look soo good, with a nice UI, achievements, visual progression. Plus it would be powered by all the knowledge you guys have about how something like this could work, so it would not only feel super educational but also scientific, maybe having game modes for both younger and older audiences.
I would pay EA kind of money for such a game if done correctly !
If you haven't already, check out the game astroneer. It's not a terraforming game but a planetary exploration game with indie style graphics.
Terragenesis: space settlers is a good game that does exactly this.

We need a video explaining what the process of terraforming gas or ice giants like Jupiter or Neptune would involve. I think it would be really interesting, and different considering there's no surface to stand on.
We shouldn't terraform Jupiter considering its magnetic field constantly pulls asteroids and like.. I don't think you can do anything to a planet that's constantly raging storms and extreme pressure
@@kaosunokami if we can terraform planets, we could probably make our own magnetic field by that point.
Are you making land on Jupiter?@@diamondynamite
@evilnaruto9229 yes. First we shoot some giant lasers at it. Then we explode a few nukes. Lastly we crash a couple comets into it and it's basically earth.
I almost want to say Kurzgesagt has it's own cinematic universe. They constantly build upon previous ideas, and this isn't the only video where a previous idea is used to build another one. Thanks for providing us with these amazing videos!
I would love a series based on all their space infrastructure ideas. Sky hooks. Terraforming. Harnessing black hole energy. It'd be better than The Expanse, and that's saying something.
KCU (Kurzgesagt Cinematic Universe)
Other than war, humans never have a goal this far in advance and build their entire infrastructure around the goal. We start by landing machines to make a small city and over the course of centuries, expand from there and our pollution and advancement of technology terraform as a side effect. Terraforming will never be the goal, only a consequence.
@@funveeable you're forgetting that many monuments in our history took centuries to finish.
Tesla CyberTruck on Mars? SpaceX? Elon Musk? Blue Origin? Amazon? Jeff Bezos?
2:40 That's honestly pretty impressive that we already have a laser half as powerful as one needed to melt mars
But it can just run for a trillionnd of a second
And we need a consistent stream
We might have one way more poweful considering the military doesnt really want us to know theyre most powerful weapons
@@oai8028Considering the Absolutely ridiculous energy needed to run Eli NP, an even more powerful laser can't be hidden
@@thanos7929remember that this laser is plugged into existing power grids. How much of the time limit is due to the technology used in the laser and how much is due to a power grid that can't sustain insane power outputs?
@@generalcodsworth4417almost zero is based on the power grid. Remember they have massive storage capacitors that actually feed the laser. So grid capacity is almost completely not an issue.
"not mosquitoes though."
that lazer was definitely personal
"You cant shoot a hole into the surface of mars"
Kurzgesagt: _Observe_
"Not mosquitoes thought."
Thank you... I really really appreciate it. Those things are really annoying, I hope the future generation would be happy living in a mosquitoless life.
Not only annoying, its also the deadliest animal to humans
Just move to California. No mosquitoes.
And 🪰 flys
They don't serve any purpose all they do is spread disease
Though*, also completely agree can we use the lasers to obliterate the hell bugs?
@@meismaxif there is mosquitos in Canada I am sure there is some in California
These are legitimately my favourite types of videos, just letting the imagination for the future of humanity run wild.
Same here! Gives some happy thoughts in these bleak times/ outlooks.
The next minimum 100 years will be rough to put it mildly...
@@thomaskositzki9424 happy?? .. destroying the natural state of Earth makes me unhappy, so why do that to Mars too???
@@KrustyKlown why do you value the “natural state” so much? Like what does that even mean? The “natural state” of the universe is decay.
@@KrustyKlown so we can live there
@@Judo1x Nothing can change Mars's gravity, which is about 1/3 of Earths.
I just bought a calendar! It’s awesome :D
Great Video keep up the good work!
Kurzgesagt: * Giving detailed, professional explanations of mars and the myriad of ways it is unsuitable for life *
Also Kurzgesagt: This, however, can be solved using the application of a Big Laser.
"It is difficult, but a big laser makes it a lot easier" This applies to many things other than terraforming mars 🐳
(1:32)
Like childcare!
@@Jensenrobinb No need to care if there is nothing...
@@Jensenrobinb Family Planning!
This applies to many aspects of any good plan to take over the Earth too.
Why is the first thing I though of optics and the first thing other people thought of is violence?
"Not mosquitos, though."
I love this channel, man.
Would it be possible to have the magnetic field in front of the ‘umbrella’ slightly weaker than it should be in order to capture the solar wind and help use that radiation to power the ring?
it may be complicated but you always make the information so easily digestible 🤓
nah man no way youtube commenting on this
Ok bro
CZcams with 2 likes, lol
My father left me
Ratio bozo
Sometimes, I wish I could live long enough to see these possible futures come true.
The comment I was in search for... thx
We ll definitely be alive to see this son...trust me🤝
just cryo yourself and hope we get better tech to revive you in 100+ years
Only if anti ageing medicine technology becomes real in the next 50 years then maybe
@@manyord7089 it'll take atleast 1k year for mars to become like earth...100 yrs is too less
Idk why but this video made me Happy
Ty for the quick tutorial!1!
I discovered Kurzgesagt through the Teraforming Venus episode so I was very excited to see this pop up. Videos about these large scale space projects that could be in humanities' future like teraforming and Dyson spheres are my favorite Kurzgesagt content!
Mine too!.. But I discovered them through their Black holes and Fermi paradox videos. Their video on the existence of aliens was awesome
@@Cosmic_Explorerrr Same, my very first was the Fermi paradox video, then I binge-watched the black hole videos, where I eventually subscribed
@Ceju Online
I discovered Kurzgesagt a few years ago, I think with the bacteriaphage episode, and thought it was great. However at the time I didn't have time to focus on much of their content afterwards u til a few months ago when I binge watched all of them over a few weeks period of binge watching them. Seeing how they have evolved and improved has been exciting. They started off as a college project with definate talent and have evolved into an incredible talented, passionate, and transparent source of information on a plethora of topics. I recommend watching the any series. There are 4 videos and possible more to come. Enjoy!
@@swiftycortex Thanks a lot, though I subscribed about a year ago and have already binge-watched every video on the channel. It's pretty neat how they've evolved from their past videos
Kurzgesagt never disappoints with the quality of the animation and the uniqueness of the topics they choose!
Nah most of the things they advocate are technosolutionist BS
Sonia pls
I think after that many years they are running out of ideas
It's good fiction.
*the topics their sponsors choose
This is an amazing idea.
It's strange how perfect the earth is for life thinking of the amount of work it takes to terraform mars
Let’s appreciation how fast these guys are making videos without sacrificing quality
@DM i mean the animation
I as of my observations from few years this channel post more videos at the end of the year to promote their hard work and so calendars
Although it’s knowledge at the end i am all in
No.
This was pretty lazy so maybe they shouldn’t bother.
still waiting on the consciousness part2 seems like they've been making filler videos.
The amount of videos you guys released in this month compared to others is wild. Really nice!
And they did that without compromising on Quality..That is what makes them unique
In case you don't know, December is the most profitable month for CZcams channels, so a lot of channels keep videos to be released in December.
@@BassBiest can you tell why is that?
@@mr.rez0 Christmas
