I see why a drink and a snack is NOT recommended for this particular video.<br>I nearly spat it out hearing "you must construct additional pylons".

1) You and your team make some of the best quality videos for Youtube. <br><br>2) This means the old joke "I can see my house from here" will be use when looking up from now on.

Only in Isaac Arthur can you have floating cities that drag themselves across planets with ultra thin cables, but still cannot go past the speed of light. Love your videos!

I’ll be honest, I came to this channel for all the Fermi Paradox and Upward/Outward Bound space content and was worried about the Earth 2.0 series not being interesting to me. I’m happy to have been wrong, I’ve really been enjoying these videos!
