“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” - Douglas Adams
The existential horror that that brings: all the destructive capabilities of humankind are less than a whisper when compared to the infinite universe, is basically why I watch this channel.
I *LOVE* the language you guys choose for this channel Instead of just "there's no sound in space", it is "without an atmosphere to give it a voice" "the atmosphere fights back"
@@nolanwestrich2602 that'd be so cool. Imagine an explosions that's shockwave would go through the screen, killing the watcher. And it'd only happen if it can kill someone
I think the most impressive part is that it would only leave a crater of 1km in diameter. There are so many bigger craters caused by asteroids and its just humbling to know how little we as humans are in the universe
It kind of had the opposite effect on me, I thought it'd just kick up a little dust and only affect a very tiny part of the moon, since I'm used to thinking of humans being so small to the point of having no power to affect anything beyond a human scale, but seeing all that would happen was actually a reminder of how scary nuclear weapons really are.
But what if someone finds a way to profit off of it? After all, profit is the only incentive in our economic system. Once you are rich enough you can just dig a massive underground bunker and hide from the negative effects
@@jeremyscungio16 you're right but i said that because of Yaume Lebire profile picture ( just joking) although it would be interesting to know if pluto orbit would change if we nuked it because it's smaller than the moon
There's a reason one of the most feasible and damaging weapons humanity will have once space exploration becomes a thing is to just drop large rods of heavily metal from orbit. The kinetic energy of just dropping something suitably heavy from orbit dwarfs every nuke we currently have or likely will have by now.
Did you guys realize that in every episode at the intro the monkey is holds different things .. that's to tell you how much time they put into this .. I mean they could have just made it entirely the same and no one would be bothered but that little detail made me subscribe lol

After watching this, I saw a dream where I was at the moon with my cousin, watching a nuclear explosion on the moon. It was pretty amazing but then we decided to quickly run back into our spacecrafts before radiaton started showing its effects.
Apparently 98% of youtube users around the world.. don't really know how youtube actually works 🐸😅 (I've seen tons of comments and jokes on youtube's algorithm & recommendations) like youtube is some sort of psychic or something lol
Kurzgesagt's videos have also improved in quality in pretty much every aspect. Animation, narrative, sound and music, and even the sponsorships lately have related to their videos in interesting ways. _And_ they continued these trends in the year of (1)2020. So yeah, I'm rather optimistic about the future state of Kurgz.

Well, the video is monetized and the channel is pretty big, so probably they will receive a good amount of money to compensate the work that they've done
Firstly they have much better content than, 'What if we nuked (insert noun here)?, and its monetised. You should have written - Can we just appreciate how this low quality content is available. FTFU
Haha, well... not exactly free, but voluntarily free. You could both donate them in Patreon, like a dollar or so.
@@mrdisser Take your SJW attitude somewhere else karen, most of the people here enjoy this content and even more support it.
Maybe stop watching and commenting on this channel if you don't like it.
You should have written - Kurzgesagt videos are great and this is definitely one of them. FTFU
We all do
Kurzgesagt: What if We Nuke the Moon
2020: *I choose this to be my season finale*
Uh oh
@@LynchtheFinch UH.....
"Hey guys, i'm the one who obliterated 70% of the moon".
Oh no! Anyway last week....
@Dark Ages yt rewind got cancelled(i think you were talking about yt rewind)
At min 3:03 the music is timed so perfectly that it's like a quick Time event somewhat
"First I wanna tell you about the sponsor that made this video possible: America"
@@EarlTheGamerYT you don't get the joke bruh
@@Marcus-vw9xx I do I was just saying
I laughed at this joke
Because America plus oil and nukes = instant funny
@@EarlTheGamerYT salty, just move on lol
@@YourLocalGamerFan I'm not salty.. why would I be salty about a joke
@@Marcus-vw9xx nah he does, russia does gave more nukes though. And nasa wouldn't allow America to kill the moon
These are the typical 3am videos when you need to sleep
Why have I never seen a meme about the thumbnail and title of this video?
@@ciphergacha9100 it’s kind of a niche meme for TH-cam junkies, but all I know for sure is I want some
Literally reading this at 3am
@@stoneman289 sameee lol
It is 3:03 am for me currently
humans: *nuke the moon*
moon: "Oh no"
moon: "Anyway...."
Are you one of Sciencephile's drones?
@@syndromeofadown21 hexagons are bestagons
Moon: Um... Chile...
Moon: Anyway, so...
After watching this, I saw a dream where I was at the moon with my cousin, watching a nuclear explosion on the moon. It was pretty amazing but then we decided to quickly run back into our spacecrafts before radiaton started showing its effects.
TH-cam: Do you know what would happen if we nuke the moon?
Me: No
TH-cam: Would you like to?
"Gray still plays" in a nutshell
hell yeah
Yes. Yes i would like to
Imagine if we had gray reply to this comment with a "Your goddamn right."
Apparently 98% of youtube users around the world.. don't really know how youtube actually works 🐸😅 (I've seen tons of comments and jokes on youtube's algorithm & recommendations) like youtube is some sort of psychic or something lol
best words of advice for 2020: "maybe we should just.... not do that."
Maybe we should just not waste rockets
@@Quvl maybe we should make them reusable... but that would be just crazy
Isn't that what most world leaders said earlier this year?
Dont read my Profile picture :)
"In conclusion: Do not nuke things" is a good conclusion!
i agree
thanks for spoiling the video🙄😤
I feel like this is an 8 year old comment when replies were just a dream. And i feel like im replying 8 years later to correct a word.
@@Rhakjellg you got me confused there buckaroo
I agree
I like the idea covering the moon in mirrors and making it the biggest disco ball in space.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT OBAMA

THAT'S RIGHT BABY
“What happened to the moon?”
“The birbs are back at it again.”
lollll
Dont read my Profile picture :)
@@dont3834 okay
DON'T it’s the reverse psychology rickroll guy
Kurzgesagt: uploads twice in like 5 days
*happiness noises*
True
They know its been a rough year
its not like they did hold onto the last video for a good time because of the pushed back release date...
Kurzgesagt's videos have also improved in quality in pretty much every aspect. Animation, narrative, sound and music, and even the sponsorships lately have related to their videos in interesting ways. _And_ they continued these trends in the year of (1)2020. So yeah, I'm rather optimistic about the future state of Kurgz.
The cyberpunk video was mostly finished but probably couldn't be released until the game launched. Great videos as always though.
"Maybe, we should just, not do that"
Wow what a solution, that could solve everything!
Start with breathing, eating food, and drinking water, then let us know how that worked out for you.
These animations would be really good for a video game. 😁

"what an interesting and weird year it was, in all the worst ways"
Truer words...
Yes
Everyone knows bedrock can't be broken.
The Moon: exists
Kurzgesagt: now it’s time for the durability test
the moon scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7
Don’t worry it’s made out of bedrock
