Xkcd's What If blog was always my favorite thing that Mr. Munroe had ever put out, and I always wished there were more of it. Seeing this pop up on my homepage has me absolutely ecstatic!
Another great demonstration that american space related scientific research is never disinterested, but is almost always basically just the crumbs that fall down from the table of the military industrial complex.
Bro no way it’s already been 1 year I remember like it was yesterday when I was so hyped up to see how this channel would grow 😅
Answer: Blurry, but still able to tell what's what. ( 2:59 )
Before these videos started I always wondered what his voice sounded like. I’m genuinely shocked that it’s exactly as I imagined it.
looking forward to your future videos, I've always loved the What Ifs :)
I love the lightspeed baseball ine, and wish to see you go though it again here.
So much more pleasant to read than to hear — without the constant uptalking! Is he telling or asking, for pete's sake?
I would have figured that focal distance would be the biggest issue. Like trying to get the camera on your phone to take a picture of something half a centimeter from the lens.
Fun fact, the KH-11 spy satellite HST is based on cost more per unit than the last Nimitz class aircraft carriers.
We need to put that desk on a truck driving opposite to the rotation to counter that issue. Maybe turn on dlss while ur at it
Long Live Hubble. Pictures of the beyond.
The question didn't specify how far away the Telescope could be from Earth , I reckon we could get a good image of Earth
Simply move the desk across the surface of the earth fast enough
Neat! Subbed
Goooood videooo
are you looking for the Key Hole satallite?
Using a telescope, a tool literally designed to track and photograph unbelievably distant objects, to take a picture of something a mere few hundred kilometres away sounds really silly right off the bat.
What if we put the telescope on geostationary orbit? That way, the telescope will have the same orbiting speed as the rotation of the Earth, so it will be stationary relative to the surface.
