Getting rare materials from the ground into your phone is ugly. The mining industry is responsible for air and water pollution and the destruction of entire landscapes. But what if we could replace the mining industry on Earth with a clean process that can’t harm anyone? Well, we can. All we need to do is look up.

So true this is the final purpose of this channel: energy problems? Dyson swarm! Travelling problem? Skyhook! Ressources? Asteroid minning! Super ultimate solar system weapon? Black hole bomb!
It’s almost like funding space programs is actually an important thing to do!
Elon Musk: I agree
Yes.
Natibe_ no no no.. the president spent 2 trillion on military, and everyone knows the president is always right
This channel basically turned to a DIY How-To-Colonize-The-Solar System channel in the past year and a half.
To be fair it’s a very important topic for a species only a few centuries away from Type 1!
But hey, its better than most DIY channels
But who's complaining?
That's called teaching i think
It’s pretty relevant id say
05:30 bird explodes on impact of payload landing in the ocean. Albeit grisly, it's more dignified than drowning in a major oil spill, and I doubt these orbital landings will wipe out nearly as much wildlife as we do now with terrestrial operations.
to space we go!
The dead bird!!! T_T
lol definitely did a double take at that part. Jesus, the eyeballs!! Sadly I think virtually all industrial activities end up killing wildlife, even ones we consider "green" like wind turbines. But the big picture is more important. Terrestrial mining is many orders of magnitude more destructive than the occasional *splat* from space cargo...

Oh no I didn't notice that he died!
I believe it's a patreon reward.
that was brutal, but I guess it gets the point across. even asteroid mining may not be safe for the environment if done sloppily
Azidotetrazole yh, you get your own bird, no?
Yup I did notice just I don't want to mention
Seeing a Kurzegesagt asteroid mining game would be really cool!
(With special asteroids that are the pickle and skull asteroids at the start of the video)
Or, it could be something like a space-exploration game where we play as the birbs, eventually constructing giant robots (like galactaduck) a bird-based grey goo, or even constructing dyson spheres and black hole containers.
I haven’t even watched 1 Minute and already feel bad for owning a phone…

Big problem with processing the asteroids is the chaotic dispersal of ejecta while breaking them up. It's a much bigger problem than I think most people realize. The chance of it leading to Kessler cascades is immense.
Use the first asteroid to create a box to envelop the subsequent asteroids when you want to break them apart.

Do u think it would still be a problem if the extracting process wasn't close to the earth

*Everyone:* * *CONCERN* *RISING* *
Imagine dealing all the fuss with "Karens against space mining"
It would be impossible to move and put an asteroid this size close to earth even if we wanted to
That's the one thing that makes me nervous. It only takes a slight miscalculation or a misfiring from the craft maneuvering the asteroid and the earth gets a big rock slamming into its face.
@@ommsterlitz1805 Nothing is impossible in space, between the absence of air friction, the orbital mechanisms, and so on, you could push an asteroid this big with a little probe, if you calculate right ^^

True my friend🤫. But these work If for people like elon musk
Actually the metals we get from space would become worthless from the amount we would have from large scale mining. The more platinum we have, the more common it is. Thus lowering the price. In a business standpoint, it would cost way more to mine than you would make. But in terms of human advancemen, it would be invaluable. Priceless even
4:05 didn't realise it was a duck until watching this the third time
2040: modern day pirates now steal the capsules that land in the ocean before NASA can get them back
Exactly what I was thinking lmao
😂😂😂😂😂
That's the biggest sh*t that we have to face and would happen for sure if we really send precious metals just like that to earth
Im pretty sure they have designated landing zone with security standing by
I am honestly more curious where we would get enough fuel, to justify such operations. Starting a large scale operation like this would prob cause fuel prizes to sky rocket. You can't make fuel out of minerals.
Kurzgesagt Favourite Dialogue : Going to Space , Is expensive
Space hooks on the Moon ! ^^
“Going to space is expensive. Let’s do it right now”
so true
Sondadir yt
Because it is?
Promising as it may sound, this could be extremely difficult to accomplish even with advanced technology. Most mining companies on earth are so rich and powerful, and they will not give up easily.
they will if they get more profit mining in space
This is where Crown corporations come in (similar to state owned companies in countries outside the Commonwealth). In Canada most of the major resource and infrastructure developers started as Crown corporations because no one other than the government was willing or able to take the risk. These are also usually organised on a not-for-profit basis where, depending on the charter authorising it, any potential profits either went to reducing cost, improving service, into government coffers, or sometimes into a "legacy fund" of some sort. (Many of these were privatised in the late 80's, with a rapid decline in services and increase in cost following. Ironically, many of these are major providers of essential services so in times of strife the government still has to bail it out anyway without having the benefit of reaping the profits in good times. Air Canada is one of these former Crown corporations that were privatised and has had to be bailed out on numerous occasions.) One notable exemption to a crown corporation being made to fill a gap is several telecom companies that were privately owned but wouldn't take on the cost to provide service to remote areas unless they were granted a chartered monopoly for a given area, thereby guaranteeing a return profit. And before someone says monopolies are inherently bad, the major difference is that these are chartered monopolies they come with conditions, regulatory oversight, and can be revoked. It is likely that the country which to achieve asteroid mining first will be China because they're organised essentially like a nation sized company.

seriously if we stopped bullying the middle east and Trump was smart enough to believe space existed we would be mining all the asteroids by now
Emily ploop as far as I know American military even gets to much money they have a surplus of it. And i think a military shouldn’t be a money hoarder. It should be well funded but at just the right amount of money to keep it working well.
The rest should be invested in school and NASA. And what not.
SpaceX looks like a more viable option
@@jigsawdraws9368 you guys need a better president, that has some future vision
Fun fact: Asteroid belt consists mostly of empty space. If you're on top of an asteroid, it would take months or years to see another asteroid passing by.
This is random, nobody asked for this, but I want this information at the top of my comment section, and I will help make this a reality.
Most ppl don't get how vast the space is around us..
If you like Kurgestat, you will like the exoplanets channel too
Well space is quite empty everywhere
But there are many
I don't know why but this video is in my top 3 favorite video of yours.
“All we need to do is… look up”
…I think Netflix saw this and thought it was a pitch. This is literally the plot.
Everyone: Oh no we have a big problem, how the hell are going to solve this.

So What!!!
SPACE!!!!
Indeed.
Dinosaur 65 million years ago: hey what if we harness an asteroid for power, that can't end badly right?
there is no evidence

I love the princess mononoke reference
Your videos have the best animations.
It's crazy that the whole thing sounds like taken from a Sci-fi movie, but we actually can do it.
Yes we can!
Watching this gives me hope. But my mind is like, no way that's gonna happen.
It's crazy that the whole thing can be done, but we won't because we love to fight weird wars and we don't use our common sense.
It's already on the way just chill
I'm sorry but we should kinda fix our planet first
2020: How to push asteroid to earth
2025: How did an asteroid accidentally collide into earth?
Ah yes metric vs imperial never get boring
Haha
Good thing its only the metric system being used then. For that exact reason. So stupid mistakes like that doesnt happen
Please explain, I get the metric vs imperial "debate", but why would it collide because of it or was there already incidents because of this? or did I just not get the joke?
@@unplayednamer0165 there was a space incident because of metric vs imperial, yes
@@unplayednamer0165 nasas Mars rover crashed due to this
Thank you Kurzgesagt! You help us dream of a happy and prosperous future.
The beheaded duck with popping eyes was totally and absolutely unnecessary. Loved it.

Me, a KSP player: "Just like the simulations."
Haha

Jebediah taught me well
I was thinking the same thing KSP has taught me many things.
In all my years of watching Kurzesgat I don't think they have made a single video that hasn't managed to make me emotional, inspired and awestruck. You are too good for UA-cam.
My favorite channel definitely!!
Yeah me too, been watching this channel since 2013, and I'm always waiting for their monthly uploads.
Me in SFS: 1. Launch a rocket to space. 2. You would need to either vaporize the
asteroid by using lasers or secure it. 3. Orbit the Earth. 4. Boil the rock. So you need to mine all of your materials. 5. You would need to either bring all your stuff by reusable rockets or print something. Like heat shielded capsules. And you have it!
Sfs has asteroids?
A robot that stops you from playing on your Switch and makes you learn would be a great product for unmotivated people
