The new "directions" (forward, back, etc) are a nice world-building touch.
How did you get the AI to render a large cylindrical spaceship interior properly? I can't convince it to generate so much as a Rendezvous With Rama interior, despite the many existing paintings of that scene.

Old voice, longer videos – forget the haters. You work hard on these videos and appreciate them, thank you
I loved this video. I enjoyed showing past astronomers and the drawing at the end. I liked the new stuff.

It would seem people from Mars returning to earth would have a difficult time dealing with earth's much heavier gravity.
Plus imagine Mars without Texas Bar-B-Q….

Generation ships likely won't be legal as they are highly unethical. To force future generations to solely live in a ship without choice to never get to even see earth or another planet..

Do not bring AI – smart. But bring with you a combustion engine instead of electricity … maybe talk with the stupid AI prior – might still end up in a brighter result 🫢

Why would we go to Proxima Centauri b? Its a red dwarf system and its not inhabitable.

Please bring back the longer videos. These mere 4 minute clips are not enough to keep us entertained 😊
