End of Space - Creating a Prison for Humanity

- čas přidán 24. 11. 2018
- 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.

You're saying that humanity uses time to overcome obstacles? That's almost like... evolution? Crazy.
@ADEBISI ADEBISI you maybe wanna expand there?
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!
They are optimistic nilhists. They always highlight how all is not lost, like how there are solutions here and it will not last forever anyway. (they don't highlight the latter though too much likely for fear of inaction due to apathy. )
The world is filled with problems, and some of those problems have solutions. I'm just happy that there is a channel on CZcams that makes people aware of these things, there are probably many people that wants to be a rocket scientists for example, and now they know what problems lie ahead.
Because only pushing one side is how you form an echo chamber
Eh, I forgot about the point of the video in no more than 1 day
Mikołaj Wnęk They've been doing that since they started, now one of the patreon tiers is to have your bird killed in a video, so they have to cram them all into one video.
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."
Planetes came out back in 1999. Check it out.

“We might trap ourselves on our planet.” I think I found the Great Filter.
Matt Viegelmann OHHHH U DID!!
WHAIT!!!
WE ARE FACE TO FACE WITH EXTIGS NOW!!!
No, all these things will fall back to Earth in decades - centuries.
Ohh it is a great filter nice brain
great filter implies it eradicates civilization and is unstoppable. space junk is/does neither.
It's ironic that our only other method to escape pollution is being blocked by the debre of our attempts to reach new locations
That's a rather sordid way of looking at things. If you pollute and just leave a planet, how many more will you potentially destroy before eventually, you need to cleanup your galaxy? Remember, since everything is moving away at faster than the speed of light there are no other galaxies you can practically run to.
@@IHateUniqueUsernames good point, good point, I like to see a non aggressive response every now and then, and yours made me think.
@@IHateUniqueUsernames Well, I think the key to any realistic plan like this necessarily includes the Earth becoming one big nature preserve/breadbasket for the entire solar systems food. Life itself is perhaps THE rarest and most valuable asset available on Earth after all, you might as well prioritize it as you expand.
@@IHateUniqueUsernamesandromeda is getting closer to us though so im sure we can just forget all our problems and go there
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.
Makes sense;
Space travel isn't the easiest thing, and the more you attempt the harder it gets. It's entirely possible that it's just a matter of hitting a success before that point of no return, which lines up with a lot of the other filters.
What an optimistic and inspiring point of view!

One of humanity's greatest continued faults:
Creating something new and cool but forgetting to make a way to clean it up.
But it’s a price that’s worth paying if it means space-scale expansion
@Blaise 2067
In a just world it would be the rich.
@@sabredragostea534 in a just world there would be no rich, nor poor.
just like plastic
No, it's not that it's forgotten....it's that their is no incentive to clean up. There is no money in it.
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.
It wouldn’t be, at some point in the next few centuries there will be a rocket alloy Able to withstand the energy, or do it the German WW2 way of making everything 10x thicker
you know its REALLY bad when kurzgesagt's narrator himself says that its HORRIFYING
What we need is a *vacuum* cleaner.
Haha stop that!

@@satania0675 Yes, actually there is virtually no air at all. It's what we call a vacuum. And we need to clean it. Get it?
Maybe this is the "Great Filter"
It cant end the humanity it can only slow it down, so its not a great filter
@@TTARM But it would be a literal filter that stops space-faring civilisations from ever being able to establish contact with other planets. Seems plausible to me
@@isaweesaw It would only slow down civilizations for decades/centuries. Decades and centuries in the grand scheme are so insignificant, and the Milky Way is enormous. So, there should be civilizations constantly escaping the trap, and establishing contact with other planets. I don’t think this is the “Great Filter”, more like a small roadblock.
@@kared791 I think you forget how many problems we have with the Earth’s stability as well, going the way we are right now, we won’t last the next few decades/ centuries on this planet.
@@zaintariq6938 True, but this filter is just one of many, I don’t think this is the true “Great Filter”
I imagine something like an aerogel sponge matrix would work decently for essentially vacuuming up most objects up. Not technically difficult and would definitely mitigate the chance of Kessler syndrome happening. You manufacturer the aerogel in space, position it for cleanup, then just decelerate it into the atmosphere for an efficient cleanup
Going to move my original post here because I think you said something similar but in a smarter, more eloquent way...
What about launching large blobs of some type of "play dough" or whatever size/density/other properties "soft/gooey" material to just "soak up" the smallest pieces. I am not smart enough to know how this mission could be carried out, but it would be much easier to track, especially if it had some special reflective properties or even some type of transmitter fitted. I went to St. Augustine, Florida and there is a giant fort hundreds of years old right on the coast. It still stands, seemingly basically unscathed. The stone available to build the fort had the perfect properties to just absorb any cannonballs/artillery fired at it. Such a cool tech, I am not even sure if the engineers knew how great their material was, or it was just all they had to work with....
The Kessler syndrome is scary as Hell. Glorious job Kurzgesagt!. Humanity's endless ability to shoot itself in the foot..

I A watch the video kurz made about it. It’s pretty much a video hypothesizing why there’s no other intelligent races, because there is usually a stage of intelligent life where we wipe ourselves out, aka a filter
The Great Filter is a lot bigger than this
It’s not about temporary setbacks, which a debris field ultimately is- it’s about the complete destruction of life on other planets
A debris field doesn’t explain the lack of radio signals or noticeable superstructures in the universe
I have a crazy idea for one of these garbage collecting machines P.S if anyone who sees this works at NASA or SpaceX please consider this. My idea is that we build a large ship with a satellite dish shaped metal ship. While in orbit, this net could catch debris like a baseball glove catching a baseball. The only problem here is the debris would rip through the giant net.
Seriously though think about it
Once critical mass is reached, no matter what you sent up to clean up the garbage, it would immediately be destroyed and be added to the “prison cloud.”

The elctromagnet option seems like it would work better to instead magnetically attract debris to it. Then it can just stay up there for a large period of time until it has attracted so much debris and grown large enough to capture via the other methods.

@@huldu Please point out the part of this video that is exaggerated with citation to authority to substantiate your assertion. And no, mentioning that some space debris is projected to be present, but too small to properly track, is not a viable argument. It would be relatively easy to extrapolate that quantity with statistical methods.
Kursgesagt: So far we've tracked 100,000,000 confirmed objects in space that are so small they can't be tracked
Me: Wait one damn minute
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!
at 2:15, the little graphic on the top left changes from "detected" to "estimated". but, with the animation of all those dots orbiting Earth, this is admittedly hard to notice.
They know the approximate numbers because they know how many of those objects are usually produced with each launch. If you throw stones into water you don't have to dive there just to count them.

Alien 2: GET TO THE PO- *hit by debris*
Alien 1: Oh no... *hit by debris*
If aliens can't go in, we humans can't go out either. So neither side is at an advantage here :v
@@cristimolceanu jokes on you. This is building a wall around the planet to keep illegal aliens out, and if we destroy their ships to add to it, then they will have helped pay for it. 👍
>tfw human spaceships are armored like tanks and can survive anything under capital ship guns due to necessity
>tfw human armor plating is so fucking ridiculous that they toss it on everything
This makes you think about all those great
big space battles in sci fi a little differently.
Just imagine the mess caused by the destruction of several hundred huge ships with radioactive components in their power cores. The debris cloud might do as much damage as the battle itself.
I remember watching a video years ago about the horrible deaths the Ewoks would've faced as all manner of burning debris came crashing down onto Endor from what use to be a Deathstar
There's also the issue of weapon fire. Energy weapons might dissipate enough to not to damage to planets, but if space ships use large enough material projectiles, and when shooting happen to be pointing in the general direction of the planet, that could potentially result in "Rod of God" type scenarios as just collateral damage.
@@Sanquinity as stated in Mass Effect 2, a projectile weapon "will ruin someone's day, some time, somewhere."
@@carstan1173 Which they then promptly forgot in Mass Effect 3 where the largest fleet ever fires on the Reapers with Earth firmly behind the Reapers and in the line of fire...or to put it mildly, thousands of "Rod of God" scenarios.
Now given the desperation of the battle, the fleet doesn't have much of a choice, but the probably world ending devastation is not acknowledged in even the slightest way.
Funny enough there's a few stations already that shoot down debris with lasers from Earth's surface. The first was made by an Australian company, Electro Optic Systems, and they shoot down hundreds of pieces a year. Only problem is they can really only shoot down bean sized objects, and for very every piece they shoot down hundreds more replace them so they're not even making a dent... but hey they're trying!
Fun fact: one second of space debris going the earth's orbit as fast as 30,000 kilometres per hour, it goes 8.33333333333 kilometres per second and 499.9999999998 km per minute
*No animated birds were harmed in the making of this video...I think...*

Two words. SPACE JANITORS.
MEGAMAID.
Like in the anime planetes.
Space Junker Salvage, sounds like a good idea in future and why not, where is junk, there's money, be a interesting job I think
@@STOCKHOLM07 Don't give Japan ideas...
Finally a kurzgesagt video that I can actually experience in my lifetime
