I came upon Crash Course by way of SciShow. I have an unending curiosity to the extent I-m pretty sure my first word was -why-! (Granted that got me into more trouble as a kid but thankfully that trouble couldn-t kill the curiosity)
Speaking for myself, I must say there-s something addicting about learning when the person teaching truly loves their topic!
Most people find it strange that I prefer videos like these but have little to no interest in watching tv. My thought. why watch fiction when reality is so much more interesting, fascinating and even frightening?
The only thing I can think of as a -tweak- to this series. I-d love for there to be -add ons- as new things are discovered. Other than that, I love the series and appreciate everyone who works to make these available! Thank you!

At my local(ish) planetarium, they have this shiny chunk of rock about two/three adult fists big or so, with a sign saying -This is a metallic meteorite that fell in (place) in (year. See how heavy it is! - and it's attached to this sliding rod thing so you can lift it a bit. Probably lots of planetariums/science museums have something like that, but I still think it's cool that ordinary people can just walk up and touch a chunk of outer space. :)

Check this out: the most surreal event in my life. Made a wish to see a falling star, and in the next 48 hours, I saw 4 of them and it was not August, it was January. One of them was even in slow motion. yes. slow motion, I thought it was an airplane, so I kept on following it, when to my amazement, it slowly broke into burning pieces. I could literally see them because they were very near. Didn't know there are slow motion falling stars too. haha

So. when a meteor comes our way we cant do much.
No, because a trillions and trillions and trillions go to murder and manmade death, theft and distruction of the fellowman, murder each others children.
A people must have their prioretys straith, no?
DAMN, so much brain power, and still a moral consiousness of the cave apes. the more i think about mankind, the more i love my animals! living on lonely hights.

Waitwait. Did I hear that right? (rewinds a few seconds) I _did_! -Cambot, can we get that on still-store? - AAAA AN MST3K REFERENCE I LOVE IT! Gotta say, I wasn't expecting an educational video from 2015 to randomly do a really early-seasons quote of a nerd icon show from 1989, but AWESOME! Well. actually scientists _are_ giant nerds. You just don't expect the _pop culture_ style nerdery to show up all the time. :)

Thank you for pointing out that atmospheric entry heating is not due to friction, but, rather, adiabatic compression heating. Even a lot of science educators get this wrong. Actually, a not insignificant amount of heat does come from friction, but the majority is from compression. I wonder what the relationship is between the sources of hearing is.

I saw Lyrids and Eta aquarids meteor shower this year and for that I came across this video to understand what's happening! Now I am watching the entire Crash Course series and it's fun during this lockdown!
Thank you very much Sir! -

Phil: Don't ask astronomers - Hey whats your sign? -
Me: Wearing a Taurus hat, and shirt, while drinking out of a Taurus cup, and snuggling in a Taurus blanket, about to comment asking what his sign is until he said that.

Life is tragic, just accept it together with the fact you have a finite life span and never will go to Mars nerds. More likely you'll starve in a few years due to massive crop failures caused by climate change

No pictures/commentary about Meteor Crater (Berringer Crater) in Arizona? A mile wide hole in the ground blasted out by a meteorite tends to get your attention I would think. Later! OL J R: )
