It's a good thing the Planet Express doesn't have to deliver to Venus... Down at the surface, the average atmospheric pressure is... about 93 times higher than on Earth... which is nowhere NEAR what it is on Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune... Of course, if it CAN make deliveries to Venus... then it can probably go deeper underwater (on Earth, of course) than any "Squishie" submarine. Squish... squish... "There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow..." "It's worse than that. He's dead, Jim." "Slowly going forward... 'cause we can't find reverse."
@@ussenterprisecv6805 My point was that a ship capable of landing on almost any other planet in our solar system would be able to handle one hell of a lot more than just a single atmosphere of pressure. It was a reply to the OP's comment that "anywhere between 0 and 1". I *think* he was referring to the necessary 1 atmosphere of INTERNAL pressure... or perhaps the 1a (1 atmosphere) of pressure on Earth. 1a is actually pretty LOW in terms of the planets of our own solar system that actually have a functional atmosphere. Functionally speaking, it wouldn't much matter if that atmosphere was gaseous or liquid, as far as the pressure itself is concerned.
This is a series where kids ordered a pedal powered space bike from the back of a magazine, and used it for an interstellar paper route. I enjoy you trying to take it seriously.
Planet Express is indeed the company name. The ship is usually referred to as Planet Express Ship or simply 'Ship,' though at one point company owner and inventor of the ship's drive, Professor Hubert Farnsworth, referred to it as "Old Bessie." In addition to package delivery it can function as a fairly impressive warship with a laser turret and torpedoes. It has successfully fought off space pirates and participated in multiple full scale military operations, one of which it acted as the flagship in a desperate fight against a fleet of solid gold Deathstars.
Fun fact. The writers of futurama had several PHDs. And masters. And stuff like that. They described themselves as the most overqualified cartoon writers in history.

Too bad you don't prefer to do animated shows. I think you'd really enjoy doing a review of the main ship from the Anime series "Cowboy Beebop" and its auxiliary craft.
So because I adore the sounds you make when you're confused, can I recommend looking at the _Heart of Gold_ from the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the _TARDIS_ from Doctor Who? I'm sure your mental health will be just fiiiine.

Just to make sure you are aware... the writing staff for this show had three Ph.D.s and seven master's degrees among them. When they say that they increased the speed of light in 2208, you can bet that they fully understood the implications of such absudity, and in fact that was the joke! In fact, at one point they have the 1980s lineup of the Harlem Globetrotters write a valid theorem on a blackboard and then prove it. It's called Keeler's Theorem after the writer that penned it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner_of_Benda#The_theorem
I would say the pressure at the bottom of the ocean is atmosphearsome. And really don't try and make sense out of Futurama you'll hurt yourself. It is brilliantly ridiculous.

This is why if you take Futurama seriously and give them competence they become FREIGHTENINGLY powerfull. Like scare the shit out of the time lords powerful.
The series is bottled insanity, some episodes are hysterical and some not so much but it is a fun ride. "Death by Snu Snu" is a thing from this series and it makes me laugh every time. 8)
Klingon Battlecruisers like to pretend they are submersibles from time to time too. I wonder if the Seaquest DSV is within the remit of this channel - I guess so if a Yeager is !
A lot of the ridiculous stuff, like the raising the speed of light and moving the universe around the ship, come from an episode where they make fun of people who try to apply real world physics to the show.
*Edit: we are up to 6 packages delivered. See the comments below.* They did delivered three packages. The first episode a package to the moon, and then later some big jars full of I Love You hearths made of candy. Another one was to the planet with 3 suns where Fry became emperor, they delivered a sign "Don't drink the Emperor". I don't think I remember any other actual deliveries.
I gave this video a like because of the great cat picture. Seeing that it's a Futurama ship video, my logic was also coincidentally appropriate. How wonderful.
'Did the Planet Express ever actually deliver any packages?' Yes, there was that time they delivered nuts to the killer robot planet. And another with the pillows on the high gravity planet. That's all I can remember off the top of my head.
The thing to keep in mind about this ship was that it’s designed entirely by a 100+ year old man, who them makes many improvements when he’s in his 170’s and 180’s … and he’s a mad scientist the entire time to boot
Question: will you talk about the vulture droid? Or the tri-droid interceptors? I think that for a universe where everything goes with magic and most designs make no sense, those two are quite good
With the dawning realization that "position" is not a fundamental property of a particle, and only emerges from interactions between particles, I'm waiting for some enterprising scientist to figure out how to make a ship-sized lump of particles decide that it should be positioned somewhere other than where it started. That will fix a lot of problems that I care about, and create a bunch of new problems that I refuse to care about.
Yes, there was one episode when they do actually deliver pillows so a super grav world, then bender fucks off to the robot world I believe. So at least once lol past that I dunno, but at least once
Exactly how quick is the process of turning my ship into a cube? Is there a few seconds where I could move my ship out before the start of the process?
A sentient Cabbit/spaceship belonging to the universe's most notorious space pirate, that runs on carrots and falls in love with a human/jurai boy. Yep, that will be good.
The thing I question is what happens when two ships with this drive try to move space at the same time. Exactly how much pressure is being applied to space to move the entirety of it at the same time and exactly how stretchy is space? Do you want to bring the creeping chaos into this world, cause I'm pretty sure that's how you bring the creeping chaos into this world.
well done... as I listened I found myself having difficulties deciding if you where just BSing the whole way or if you really where trying to take futurama's ship seriously. it was a great performance.
Despite a bit of cartoon silliness, they're more scientifically accurate than your average Nova special. This show warms the engineering cockles of my nerdy atheist heart.
I had actually once drew a ship that had an overbite. My reason involved the desire to put a cargo loading ramp in front of the ship. In retrospect, I like my landing craft inspired ship better.
"You can just give it a higher speed limit?!?" You like The Expanse, right? :p Seriously, I'm probably the hundredth comment to say it, but if an entity is a sci-fi nerd, they will quite likely enjoy Futurama. At least they will get most of the jokes.
i think the ship looks a little like thunderbird 2. the show is funny and tongue in cheek sci fi, obviously. as to its size, well the professor has a shrink ray, over there by his planet killer weapon.

Okay but different planets have different amounts of atmosphere so it kinda makes since to be able to withstand pressure…
Yes, there was one episode when they do actually deliver pillows so a super grav world, then bender fucks off to the robot world I believe. So at least once lol past that I dunno, but at least once
Now I want to see what happens when he gets to see Red Dwarf...
Futurama is soo good. Do yourself a favor and get past the medium. The jokes and stories are top notch scifi nerd humor.
Its definitly great series
It obviously does not take itself seriously but it has special place in my heart
Exactly how quick is the process of turning my ship into a cube? Is there a few seconds where I could move my ship out before the start of the process?
Once the assimilation has begun, you're just out of luck.
The universe revolves around the ship. Similar to how the ship is needed to move most plots
Book me on a trip to the Amazonian Planet for some Pelvis Crushing Snu Snu!~
Can't wait until you run across Ryo-ohki . . .
A sentient Cabbit/spaceship belonging to the universe's most notorious space pirate, that runs on carrots and falls in love with a human/jurai boy. Yep, that will be good.
And the tree ships.
All of this starts to make sense when you realize that the company owner is a mad scientist.
But only starts.
The thing I question is what happens when two ships with this drive try to move space at the same time. Exactly how much pressure is being applied to space to move the entirety of it at the same time and exactly how stretchy is space? Do you want to bring the creeping chaos into this world, cause I'm pretty sure that's how you bring the creeping chaos into this world.
I was reading a series of books where the alien robots who had wiped out their creators species used dark matter in the starship hulls..
It operates at 200% efficiencies and the crazy guy who built it doesn’t know how it works…
well done... as I listened I found myself having difficulties deciding if you where just BSing the whole way or if you really where trying to take futurama's ship seriously. it was a great performance.
The exhaust is the exhaust for the machine that moves the universe, it does not propel the ship. The flames would be much bigger if it did.
Despite a bit of cartoon silliness, they're more scientifically accurate than your average Nova special. This show warms the engineering cockles of my nerdy atheist heart.
You broke the wall. Now please do Space battleship Yamato! Turrets!
They go though a lot of Planet Express Ships in that show.
Given how many people live their lives online, entirely possible to delete/block someone out of your life.
I had actually once drew a ship that had an overbite. My reason involved the desire to put a cargo loading ramp in front of the ship. In retrospect, I like my landing craft inspired ship better.
SCS did an episode on the Planet Express from Futurama... Oh you poor fool.
The name " Planet Express" is probably a play at "Pony Express".
How much do we need to donate to get you to do Space Battleship Yamato?
It's on the list.
"You can just give it a higher speed limit?!?"
You like The Expanse, right? :p
Seriously, I'm probably the hundredth comment to say it, but if an entity is a sci-fi nerd, they will quite likely enjoy Futurama. At least they will get most of the jokes.
i think the ship looks a little like thunderbird 2. the show is funny and tongue in cheek sci fi, obviously. as to its size, well the professor has a shrink ray, over there by his planet killer weapon.
Sacred Cow Sama, I think you need a nap.. I know I do. -kobold research officer I-41 “Kunai”
Ah, Futurama! The show that understands exactly what it is.
they delivered at least one soufle that had nitroglycerine in it, I remember that one....
After looking into it planet express only ever delivered 4 packages across all seasons
Carl Sagan's worst nightmare of imagination.
your audio is cool i really dont mind it if anything it makes the explanation better in my opinion
"Which movie was it? I lost Trek" XD
but will the cube be no more than 1meter on each face?
What a way to hear someone's mind break down 😆
