  1. good job Karl! I think your hosting stye is age appropriate for your age group, however, I did get a kick out of the Metal references and did appreciate the respect given to that wonderful little spacecraft named Cassini. It's a pleasure to view and listen to your program. Best of luck.

  2. Liked Karl from the start of his presentation role,and has grown more into the role and i think it would be a mistake if the channels he currently presents did not keep him.

  3. As for birthdays: They are a social construct, and celebrating them would continue to be a social phenomenon, not a physical one. As such, pretty much any answer is possible, or a combination of them. But given inertia, we'll probably continue to use a normal Earth calendar even after we colonize other worlds. But if something happened to split off a world from communication with the rest of humanity, they'd probably change to a calendar based on the seasons and day/night cycle of that world, and start celebrating birthdays with that calendar. And there would probably be a period where people use both calendars, depending on whether something was historical/religious, or has to do more with the seasons of the new world.

  4. Great presentation Karl, this is the first Ive heard of this hypothetical Saturnian moon.
    It sounds like Cryalis would have had to be a fairly huge moon… possibly Triton sized?

  5. Cassini was crashed due to Planetary Protection Protocols. It's mission was over and it's fuel running out. If left left out in the wild it could have struck Enceladus, which is a promising moon astrobiologically and contaminated it, hence it's final dive into Saturn's atmosphere.

  6. So I can imagine a sci fi movie script where a giant asteroid smashes into Saturn's moon causing it to crash into Saturn, then continues on toward the center of the solar system and crashes into Earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs…

  7. idgas about how good you are as a host, Karl, but the Space subject was my favorite on this specific channel.
    if you covered any other subject, i might have liked you, but you just haaaaaaaad to take the ongoing space series.
    id care a little less if you werent living in an echo chamber too.
    frick, couldnt we at least get Draven for nostalgic feels?

  8. Really enjoying Karl's presentation of videos and delivery and relatable reactions and references 🤣 the Hexagonal storm is clearly just Saturn being a fan of WandaVision and the Hex 🤷‍♀️
