Space Cruise: Generation Ships (ASMR Science Bedtime Story)

Рет қаралды 88,571

Күн бұрын

Important note: following a recent change of policy at KZfaq, I can no longer disable ads at the beginning of new videos (which is bad) nor at the end (which is way worse). I am truly sorry for that. This is not the policy I would like to have and KZfaq has forced me to break a years-long promise that there would be no ads on my videos. There is nothing I can do about it: if I demonetize the video, they will put mid-rolls on top of the pre- and post-rolls, which would make it even worse and totally unwatchable.
The only good news is that all my older videos were not impacted by this policy change (at least for now,), so for the time being you can still watch them without ads. I have uploaded this video to Patreon so that patrons can stream it there without ads, and I remind you that you have alternatives to listen to my stories on other platforms.
In this soft spoken bedtime story, I tell you about the concept of "generation ships": large spacecrafts that would transport dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people to faraway destinations in the galaxy, over several generations. Even though we are nowhere near seeing one, the technical, biological and social aspects of such a project are fascinating. So I review them to explain the main challenges and what possible solutions could be found.

No one can compare to your superb narration, you are, hands down the BEST! I can hear American accents anytime, your soothing voice and measured pronunciation is most preferable. KZfaq censorship and policies are driving people away in droves. I'll probably get put in you tube jail again just for making this comment!

@@kaarlimakela3413i don't think so i might be wrong but i don't think you are actually downloading it to a playlist although i may well be wrong. I've had playlists and some asmr stuff suddenly had ads in the middle of them so they became unwatchable. Edit I'm assuming it's just a KZfaq playlist.

How cool! I get to hear the french whisperer talk about biosphere which is only a short drive from me here in tucson and ive actually been able to tour. I love this type of video reminds me of the utopia series which is my all time favorite

@alexandracooper4125 6 ай бұрын

By the way the ocean and all other ecosytems at biosphere 2 are still there however not in full "operation." By which i mean not fully inhabited by the organisms that made them function in keeping the biosphere running for inhabitant survival. The entire endevor seemed like a demonstration in inefficiency. Down to the inhabitants attempting to have coffee by actually growing thier own coffee beans, absolutely absurd if you have any realistic perspective of the industrial and economic factors contributing to the manufacture of something like coffee. In any case it is still very amazing to tour this space. You pass through a series of ecosytems from the desert outdoors to a suculant garden to a savannah to an ocean to a rainforest in minutes. Truly something you have to experience to grock. IF you can, I highly reccomend visiting

Curious about how listeners on Spotify and KZfaq differ. I have premium so there are no ads for me but I want to listen on the platform that provides the best support for the content. Are listeners more valuable to you on KZfaq or Spotify would you say? Either way love the channel.

@justplants4me 6 ай бұрын

In order to avoid the ads jarring me awake at the end of the video, I set my timer for the same length of time and set the timer sound to “Stop Playing”. This works very well, at least on an iPhone. Thank you so much for your amazing videos! 🪻

@survivalcharades 6 ай бұрын

Same! Hopefully there is a similar fix for non-Apple users. I was thinking it would be helpful if ASMR channels could link that fix (and any that exist for non-Apple users) in their video descriptions.

@sluggo206 6 ай бұрын

What do you mean by "your timer"? --One who watches from a desktop computer.

@survivalcharades 6 ай бұрын

@sluggo206 , not sure if there is a similar fix on a computer or not, but on an iPhone, you can open the native Clock app and choose the timer. After (x minutes), one option instead of the various alarm sounds is to “stop playing” whatever app you have open. If that app is KZfaq, it just turns off and you can skip the ads.

@sluggo206 6 ай бұрын

@@survivalcharades Thanks. My computer doesn't have a native timer app, the timer programs don't kill other processes (that's a nice idea though), and YoutTube isn't an app but in Firefox. My Android phone's timer doesn't seem have this option, but I rarely watch KZfaq on that anyway.

Honestly, this particular subject gave me way more anxiety than it did calm me 😅 I guess the thought of being trapped on a ship like that is too much. It's still interesting to think about, and I hope we can discover something closer to teleportation instead so we can skip this concept entirely 😅
