Starting my fascination with space when as a junior school kid our teacher brought a radio into the room so we could hear the broadcast of the beeps of Sputnik 1 it is mind-blowing to have videos and reports such as you do on Astrum bringing real images and data that were mainly in artist's ideas and writer's imaginings in Astounding or other SciFi magazines. Thank you for such a great channel and real human narration.

Just think of how much further we would have gotten if people didn't lose interest in NASA so early on. We lost a lot of tech and things to be able to push more people into space because the public got bored and didn't want to pay taxes to Nasa anymore. Nasa's budget doesn't even show on a scale to the defense budget,

If they get bored with it, or more to the point, couldn't see the profit in it compared to the industry of destruction and reconstruction then what could you or I do to change that? We have been 'inspired' by corruption and war with psychological manipulation and misinformation, as if that is our true nature - we could have been lead down a more loving and cooperative path.

The sun shield is a completely passive module. It has no flight systems, sensors of scientific value or data collection purposes. It's basically a lens cap that gets jettisoned when the orbiter separates from the other components. But yeah, it is technically four sections, so I caught that too.

From the early 60's thru to mid 70's school years thru to now, I've witnessed the evolution of what I call High Layman information regarding Science (Mercury). My opinion with a Dollar added will get you a 2nd day Doughnut at the Deli, with that said I think Mercury was a Neptune type gas semi-giant that's had all it's upper gas and liquid atmosphere blowtorched off. We had a Hot Semi-Jupiter but not any more.

Sorry, but that's not the case. At 0.4 AU, Mercury is still far enough away from the Sun that evaporation would take a long, long time. So much time, that the amount of craters we see on it's surface wouldn't match with the amount of craters that we'd expect to see. It'd be noticably off. Of course that's not even mentioning the fact that hydrogen and helium were a very sparse gas in the inner solar system, making Mercury - closest to the Sun and least massive planet in the inner solar system - at the lowest chance of ever developing into any form of gas giant.

Your reaction is basically ''lol you're lying'' without providing an objection to explain to me why i could be wrong. The distribution of gas and dust in the early solar system is a researched topic, and the fact that you're clueless about it doesn't mean that science is clueless about it. In case you want me to tell you more about early solar system research, or ''ancient alien scrolls'' as you like to call it; the reason of the abscense of hydrogen and helium in the inner solar system is because of the sun's radiation. The outward force from the solar radiation pushed out the lighter elements to further distances from the sun, where the solar radiation was less extreme, leaving heavier atoms like iron and silicate behind. That's how we got the heavy and dense terrestrial planets in the inner solar system, and less dense gas planets further from the Sun.

Everything about astrophysics amazes me because it is all possible when one day, a man had an idea about what he saw with a prism in sunlight.

The name Mio reminds me of Sailor Mercury, Ami Mizuno. She wields the power of hydrokinesis, water/ice power. The fact that Mio means "waterway" is such a befitting name for this mission ❤

What happens to the craft after it orbits Mercury for one or two years? Do we crash it into Mercury - or the Sun?

Thanks for the great video Astrum! Is there any particular reason that you didn't mention the ion thruster on the cruise module only performing at 90% after much troubleshooting? It's a possible mission ending problem that you should have at least mentioned. Especially since you referenced the upcoming burn that the underperforming thruster must complete.

​@@mellosays2783 "can it dork"? Simply because he clearly has a greater knowledge than you? By the way Biff, 1985 wants their weak sauce bully comment back.

very nice video, thank you. And thank you for not having one of those annoying A.I. narrations. BTW, are you from the same place as the actor Alan Cumming (somewhere in Scotland, I think) there is a similarity in the sound of your speech.

Not all the craters are from volcanic activity. Specifically, I am referring to the hexagonal shaped features. You never mentioned that. You must be aware that they can be created by intense electrical strikes to the surface.

I have an unrelated question for anyone who sees this: if space is expanding faster than light can travel, how is it JWST discovered a galaxy that is deemed to have formed only 700 million years after the Big Bang? Shouldn’t those young galaxies be further out than the observable universe?

The galaxy is for sure, but the light coming from it is not. That light spent all its time traveling to us while the galaxy it came from is going the other way. Hope this makes sense ❤
