Yea bro Seeker was bought by a company apparently called “The Verge” so I guess Verge is maintains the Seeker TH-cam Channel and may not be keeping everything up to date. Goes to show it’s not about the channel itself it’s about the people behind running a channel yk. So this 5M TH-cam channel which was once run by Seeker was thriving but when “The Verge” bought it I guess it was monitored differently so yea. I recommend doing your own further research on this topic to better get the answer that your looking for but this is just my opinion and observation based on what was provided on their TH-cam channel.🙂
Listen, long form science based content like this has a longer shelf life. It’s not connected to trends. Also TH-camrs are paid for views monthly. Since these videos always perform, the longer your channel is around it just continues to get paid off its views so the need to push out new videos isn’t as much as it is for other channels that live and breathe based on being current with trending topics. You couple that with new management and you get what you see here.
This is kinda terrifying that such a well-produced channel could possibly be gone due to layoffs at Vox Media. This is quality science writing/journalism that should continue.
thanks for this info! speaking of quality content:I've been watching the newest Wendover video and how quality won the game I've been wondering: why haven't I seen a Seeker video in my feed for such a long time
A portion of the team got reassigned to The Verge in 2022 after the G9/Vox merger, and then subsequently laid off in 2023@@Storystrue - it was all handled really poorly :/
Fascinating vid.. Dust is definitely one of the bigger early problems before things like large concrete pads can get laid down.. That is the long term solution - taking everything needed for heavy construction.. Rebar, concrete mixture, setting agents, maybe water, maybe stuff for pressurised atmosphere. Working without air likely to be the biggest problem. Understanding the regolith is absolutely crucial to solving so many of these kinds of problems.
The verge basically murdered a channel for money. It's gross they don't even make the same content on the verge channel either. Will always think very negative opinions about the verge because of THIS very reason.
Somehow it's little details like this part of the effort that excite me the most about our return to the Moon. Makes it feel like we'll really go back this time.
Is it too soon to make a landing pad for the Moon, a large sectional thing that we can stick a rocket to that won't push dirt everywhere? Given the fact that gravity is less, perhaps you could just use a push away type of Thruster until it moves away from the Moon and then you could straighten it out.
I wish you'd used the term simulated or synthetic in your title instead of "fake". That feeds into the space denier, flat earth, conspiracy theory crowd
I was gonna say the same thing. But they probably knew that and was intended. Besides, even if the comfort theorists fill the comment section that's engagement regardless. With that said, they need science in their lives lol.
Luckily, no dust or blast crater were found on any of the lunar landing pads in the Apollo moon landing photos. I guess this channel needed to be shut down before people started looking back at the photos taken from Apollo 11, lol.
Its been real D news! I have watch tons of youre videos. I fell off a year or two after the seeker change but still popped in time to time.i enjoy all of the knowledge and entertainment you gave me. Sleep well
Off topic but If humans are able to mine asteroids and comets then use it on different projects on Earth, does the mass will add up overtime and the Earth's rotation will become slower and slower overtime?
It seems that the video is talking about taking care of lunar dust in a landing that could eventually actually take place in future missions, as it contradicts the images of the Apollo landings. In all of those six "very successful" landings, you practically didn't see all that much-vaunted dust at the time of landing. Why all this concern now? The next missions need to improve image capture so that everything looks more realistic and less contradictory. In fact, there is no shortage of funds and technology to falsify science at NASA's Space Theme Park for the joy and entertainment of its passionate fans.
I just watched one of your videos from 8 years ago denying climate change because Antarctic ice was not melting. Is that the only reason you deny climate change and what is happening to Antarctic ice.now?
Nothing? But Mythbusters proved bootprints could be done in vacuum! Got eveywhere... "I'll agree that sharp edged footprints can be made in cement dust (from a bag of cement), but if you kick some, it will billow up into a cloud of earth bound dust. Thus, since we didn't see that, the moon landings were real." > so if it doesnt float how can it cover their suits?
A. Never land a rocket near an unshielded person, vehicle, vessel, or edifice. B. Lunar landings take place in a vacuum, making your tabletop version of a landing an exercise in futility.
What you do if you have some holidays leftovers? Can you find an easier way to plant crops or mix some food and don't really need heavy machinery? Now you just something in animal ministry.
Interesting video.. I'll watch the rest. Do you know who Abby Vieregg? Otherwise known as PI for ANITA, Antarctica? I'm wondering why she hasn't been in your videos.
Sounds like they should stop using rocket's to land.or to spray the area where they are going to land with a fast drying reason.somethat will take the heat. But make a landing pad
Space elevators are way more trouble than they are worth. I really don't see them being a thing till we're already colonizing space and got super strong building materials like carbon nano tubes perfected. Now space hooks are a different story.
When you fall you constantly accelerate, lunar gravity is about 1.6m/s². So every second you fall, you're going 1.6meters per second faster, and there's no atmosphere so you'll never slow down
What happened to this channel? 5M subs and no videos in the past 3 months

Idk why this channel isn’t recommended anymore to me I love it
Because it's a dead channel. They only upload every couple months now.

Can you do a video of all the space start-up launch companies and what they are up to?
rip channel
I miss this channel as it was my favourite well 😢. I was here -----------+----------->
What happened to yall..
Perhaps his conscience began to trouble him
Got bought by some person named the verge apparently
I'd like to know more about building landing pads out of regolith. What other materials would be required to bring to make concrete?
Selling moon dust is actually a sand business model - repeat customers will buy on a regolith basis.
What happened to D news
They sold themselves to The Verge
@@churasbro6246 They had this guy, I forgot his name but he started a channel of his own. Can't remember what it was. He was a famous host on dnews

Funny how they insist vacuum dust doesnt float but it gets everywhere....
Same as perfect bootprints but it sticks to soles....
Is this channel now dead ??
It would seem so
Its been real D news! I have watch tons of youre videos. I fell off a year or two after the seeker change but still popped in time to time.i enjoy all of the knowledge and entertainment you gave me. Sleep well
And that proves they never went before. No dust on the moon landers feet.
Just dug up your Channel I haven't seen a video from you in forever what happened also you don't appear on TH-cam search anymore
Ok, all the hype and science is exciting. But isn't this another "space race" between countries? I mean, again?
Off topic but If humans are able to mine asteroids and comets then use it on different projects on Earth, does the mass will add up overtime and the Earth's rotation will become slower and slower overtime?
It would take a lot of added mass to slow earth down just a bit
The closest thing I can think to compare this stiff to is micro-plastics with the properties of asbestos.
why no new vids
5 million subscribers, but barely any views. Go woke, go broke.
It's been 11 months already
Why your channels are inactive?
No new video long ago!?
5 million subscribers, but most of their videos got under 100k views.
Speed is the problem. Rocket to slow enough for air bags. That answer is already proven on Mars. Less gravity on the moon does not matter.

What lunacy!
heh, luna
Given the lower gravity on the moon, stuff is gonna be *everywhere*
Except on legs of LEM in 1969.
No, because there is no dense atmosphere, nothing ever "glides" or "bellows".
Amazing video bro
👍
Wasn’t an issue in 1969 why would it be in 2023 😂
It was the too, go look up ways they stopped moon dust from sticking to them in 1969...
Fake moon dust is real than the moon landing.😂😂😂
Like Mythbusters really showing dry vacuum allows perfect bootprints :)
Try visiting India on Holi!!
Fake moon soil, you mean... just soil. Cause there is no moon soil, just a pool and a mirror.
İ miss seeker, where are you guys? What happened? İ hope you guys come back online, See you soon.

Dear Seekers, please come back!
Moon dust reminds me of asbestos.
Not the sticky stuff I thought we’d be worried about 🤔
It's sad that Seeker is dead. I prefer it to The Verge. Its short explainer videos are perfect for me.

Why did team Seeker stop uploading new videos? Do 5 million subs mean nothing? We love your videos, make a comeback and start uploading frequently!!
Whoa, that’s really cool!

Or we can just land in & launch from shallow craters.

Is part of the vision “mining” the moon? If so, how much material would need to be extracted to have a meaning gravitational impact?
Looks like a kids school project lol
I wonder what concrete made from moon dust is like?
The regular concrete, the same one they used in Cannon AFB to fake the landing in hangars , in 1968.
Hey guys what happened here ?

why dont they just land slowly, like, theres close to no gravity to pull the ship towards moon. why not move slowly towards it?
there's no atmosphere to slow the rocket
@@maddoxmonteza i think they can use rocket too to slow it down but very slowly. itll probably take a long time tho
