So who else enjoys the Kurzgesagt videos?

I find their videos novel and effective in conveying science to the general public which is desperately needed to counter the flood of pseudo and anti-science.

Cool video, but like NDT said, "If we can terraform Mars [or Venus], we can terraform Earth" and it would be even easier.

Why aren't we teraforming the moon rn? What's stopping us?

(1) A lack of atmosphere which leaves the moon's surface exposed to the sterilizing effects of high energy UV solar radiation.
(2) The moon's low gravity would make it difficult to retain a created atmosphere due to the stripping effects of high energy solar radiation.

(3) Days and nights lasting fourteen days.

(4) A lack of a magnetic field which can also result in stripping of the created atmosphere, this time by the solar wind and cosmic rays.

Towers and buildings

Towers and buildings

Who is responsible for building those towers and buildings?

I do not know…

Then how do you know there are towers and buildings there?

Typically the resident conspiracy theorist has decided to derail yet another thread.

The terraforming video is more on the science fiction side, an example where a Kurzgesagt video explains science in simple terms is the application of quantum field theories to the standard model of particle physics.

conspiracy? I suppose atheists always have poor attitude

I really don't want this thread to get moved to the conspiracy theory subforum.

then don't call it a conspiracy
