You not only personally know a lot about rocks, you also rock personally.

Cody is a KZfaq legend, you can tell in his videos that the production style he uses is quite different from most other modern KZfaqrs. I appreciate that, it gives the audience time to think and absorb, and the pace is just so much more enjoyable. Thanks for all your awesome videos over the years Cody, I have learned a lot!

Hey Cody, just wanted to let you know that you turned me into a complete nerd back when i was watching you when i was like 11, im now 17. Im really grateful for that. Hope you're doing well man, you've taught me loads over the years and got me interested in science along with some other youtubers like Styropyro and Nilered. I really wish to see you live happily doing what you love whatever that may be, and hope you find success in whatever you do! Thats all I wanted to comment, happy youtubing. Not sure if anyone will ever read this.

“I know some things about rocks” - Cody You know a hell of a lot my friend and much more

Really good to see you again, Cody! I miss your frequent uploads. No pressure on ya intended, life gets hard on us all. But just know that a great many of us love seeing you and hearing what you have to share and what you are thinking about. Even if you don't think there's much content we all still love what ya give us.

Cody is a geologist. The first geologists predated the first college courses taught by geologists. Learning about geology in a college course is one way to become a geologist. Just being a geologist and doing geologist things is another.

Hey, Cody. I've heard of a pigment used between the time of prehistoric Egypt until around the year 800AD, where the method of manufacture was lost. It's called Egyptian Blue, and its method of manufacture was investigated by Humphry Davy in 1815, but he couldn't quite crack it. Then, in the 1980's, the method of manufacture was pretty much rediscovered, but with a few discrepancies. The recipe is to mix together silica (60-70%), calcium oxide (7-15%), and copper oxide (10-20%), and then to heat this mixture to between 800C-1000C for several hours. The result is cuprorivaite, water, and carbon dioxide. Most Egyptian samples seemed to have an excess of silica, AND an excess of either copper oxide OR calcuim oxide. Maybe an idea for a video? To remake Egyptian Blue and see what effects changing the composition has, and maybe seeing why the Egyptians used an excess of silica along with an excess of either copper or calcium. Could be interesting, since it's so weird that something so well known for nearly 4000 years and something so simple to make could be forgotten about. Maybe an idea for a video?

Cody, you’ve managed to raise many points I wouldn’t even have considered. You’ve clearly put a lot of thought into this video, and you’ve gotten me hyped for all the new discoveries we’ll make. Let’s see where this one goes!

"I do know some things about rocks" Says a man who has extracted precious metals from ore. Never change Cody 🙂

Don't worry Cody. I graduated with a BS in Geology in 2017 from Sac State and I've never been able to find a job in my field, so you're not missing much.

Love Codys new look. He looks more at peace and more focused. I know he has been through a lot and I wish him the very best. Keep up the good fight Cody!! We appreciated all your time and efforts sharing your knowledge and life experience.

A trick to writing on a glass in front of a camera is to just mirror the video. This allows you to draw and weight so you can read it from your side and then when mirrored it will be correct for us as well.

I watched the whole video without blinking. My girlfriend joined me halfway and was fascinated with the presentation of such unusual topic. Looking forward to see more of your videos!

The fresh shave and a haircut looks great, Cody!

Cody, you're looking so healthy! Way to go! Just told my wife that you inspire me intellectually regularly when you post videos but you've also inspired me to get into shape too! Thank you!

Cody you sure clean up nice Bud! Thank you for always being so enthusiastic and willing to share your knowledge with others.

I did not realize the Earth’s atmosphere reached anywhere near the Moon! I also never really thought about how solar winds carry those particles directly to the Moon. Thanks for the new insight Cody!

I wonder if this could also reveal more evidence on the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event

Hope you're doing okay Cody, been with your channel since the beginning. We love you and hope to see you soon big dawg.

Science was my worse subject in school, but I was always the most interested in science. Forever watching your channel to get my fix on learning science I cannot practice myself.

Is it just me or is Cody getting jacked? I for one and all for it! Great video.

The fact that everything you drew, or wrote was done from behind the glass. basically a mirror image, was not lost on me. that takes a level of skill most people would not only miss, because you did it so well, but most people will never be able to comprehend how hard that actually is, unless they were to try it.

Another amazing video! I learned so much and one thing I've just noticed, even though I've been subscribed for years, is that your videos seem to be largely unscripted but always great.. thank you so much for taking the time to make these video Cody . You are an awesome human being.

Personally I've always learnt more about science than any of my actual science teachers have ever taught me, you may not have a degree but all of your research and experiments I'll trust over anyone with a piece of paper. Your the man that made me pursue a career in SCIENCE (opposite side of the coin aka engineering but you get the picture)

Has... has Cody suddenly got jacked? Dude looks like he's gearing up for an Iron Man or getting inducted into the Space Marines or something.

You show and explain things in a simple way, as a layperson, I appreciate that.

I appreciate the effort that goes in to the backwards and left handed diagrams, thank you

As a fellow geology student, I'm very happy to see you do a video about geologic processes on the moon =) Very well explained! Thanks for the video!

Such an amazing video! Thank you so much for uploading this!!! You could be an AMAZING teacher Cody, your knowledge is vast and touches a lot of fields!!

I knew about the deposits likely to be in the permadark craters, but I hadn't considered the value they would have for archaeologically reconstructing events on earth... That could be huge for filling out details about various mass extinction events.

I LOVE your take on this. Your perspective and how you see things and how you break down concepts in a way that’s kind of refreshing. It’s very intelligent and breath of fresh air. I appreciate it!

Something which Cody mentioned briefly that I find very exciting is that if we can detect things like supernova effects on the moon, and can figure out a reasonably accurate timeline of when that happened, then reference that to the fossil record on the earth and see what effects could have been caused at the time.

Wow this is absolutely fascinating I never realised how much we can learn about “simple things” from the regolith and rocks on our lunar neighbour. Also I really appreciate the amount of effort you put in to trying to write backwards so we can read what you’ve written! Thanks as always Cody I was looking forward to you doing a video on the Artemis mission!

Wondreful as always Cody, thanks for caring THIS much to share your scientific knowledge with the world!

Really fascinating stuff and really well explained. For some reason KZfaq stopped suggestion your videos and I lost track of you. I am glad to see you are still doing well! All the best.

You’re always so informational. Thanks for these great videos, keep it up!

Hello Cody. Everything ok? Hoping for some new videos soon!

very informative and interesting content. thank you sir, for another great video. i have been watching your content for about 5 or 6 years now and i can say i have never been bored by one of your presentations. i always enjoy seeing that you have a new upload.

Cody, this video was awesome. I am a lot more excited now about Artemis than I was beforehand! Watching your face as you tried to write backwards for us was also such a mood lmao and thank you for the orang boy closeup

Dude you looking great and healthy man. Been watching you a long time and you are looking fresh. Keep them vids coming buddy, been a pleasure being entertained and educated over all these long years.

I have been watching your KZfaq channel for such a long time, though I was a shadow subscriber for many of those years. You, single handedly and without fail, have excited my imagination on countless occasions. Furthermore, you’ve always been there for me when I was looking to connect with another that shared a deeply scientific interest. - Thank you for keeping your chin up through the years. You have an excellent head on your shoulders.

Your way smarter than most college grads these days and you do a great job teaching others I personally love watching your videos thanks for sharing

Started watching you when I was 15. Now, I'm 23, still watching. Love your work man. ❤

Thank you for making such great content Cody! I've been watching for years and I still get so excited to see a new video from you. I wish KZfaq was better about letting me know when you upload - I hope they're not doing you dirty!

Absolutely loved this video! I learned a lot from it. While I find it logical how much information is preserved in the rock layers of the moon it never occurred to me. I was always a lot more interested in the Mars missions that are planned, but this actually convinced me how awesome it is to go the moon! (besides it being cool that we are on the moon, obv.). Also I like your presentation style. Not taking the easy route and just drawing everything from your perspective and flipping the image later on, but challenging yourself to write it from our perspective. It's unique and I enjoy it. :)

If I were a dean of a University, I would just accept this channel as an extended thesis and hand Cody a Masters degree in geology.

great video cody!! you should do more presentations like this i actually quite enjoyed this style of video and you are very easy to understand! :)

Been watching you for many many years Cody, proud to see your growth, knowledge, and entertaining and knowledgeable videos through time. Thank you. -Tristan

You do good at this science stuff... You teach by showing and sharing, and ironically, it shows... lol. Keep up the good work, I know the endless hours of editing may seem a great off putting labor, but many of us are grateful for your effort. Thank you

Love the presentation style, but to make it easier on yourself next time just write regular and then mirror the video!

Glad to see you on KZfaq man! Great video. I am excited about Artemis too.

Always a quality video, Cody really is inspired because these come out right when I’m hungry to learn!

Clean shaven with a nice haircut, Cody is going into his mega chad phase.

Cody is definitely holding out hope to find a black monolith on the moon

Cody, you may not have finished in college yet you have so much insight that half of graduates lack. Awesome channel through and through. And, you are a professional through application.

Thank you for that very important appeal towards the end. And for sharing your obvious excitement. It's contagious ;)

Thank you Cody. I was already excited about us going back to the moon (finally), and this video gave me even more excitement and respect for what knowledge the moon could have in store for us.

Cody seeing you change is very similar to seeing my older brother turn into a man in front of my eyes. I hope to change as brilliantly and uniquely as you and my older brother.

Cracking video man, would love to see more content from you to do with the possibilities and things the Artemis program is going to achieve!

AWESOME VIDEO!! You blew my mind with this one Cody :D

ty Cody for making me smarter with each of your video!

Why would the H/He stick around, and not just vaporize back off into space? The moon can get cold, but not 4 Kelvin cold, right?

Very informative and interesting! Cody, you are truly a great teacher.

You don't need a stupid piece of paper or time spent in a fluorescent lit classroom to say you are something. you just need experience and a passion for the field. your KZfaq channel is 100 percent evidence of your experience and passion. Please never stop showing your love for science its contagious.

Cody, two months since the last video, when are you filming a new one? About whatever you like!! I enjoy your videos!!

Cool video! While writing on the glass, I was started to wonder if you perhaps ever tried reversing the video left to right during edit (i.e. mirror). Might make it easier to write on the glass normally when recording and then flip reverse text for the video. Thanks for the videos, they're great!

Awesome work Cody, love your videos!

I learned a few new things in this one, too, like in most of your videos. Thanks for your amazing channel Cody.

I think Cody should get a doctorate honoris causa. He is really great in his knowledge and tutoring!

Dude, I'm realy excited right now! I didn't know there is so much cool stuff going right there. I feel like a child reading adventure book about hidden treasure. That glass board is a clever idea and it's pretty funny. You're going better at it.

Man, youtube did not want to show me your videos. I've been subbed for years with notifications on and I haven't seen you on the homepage in months.

Friggin love you Cody!!!!! You've been an inspiration for years to me. Keep on trucking dogg😎

Cody turned into this handsome person

Cody I hope you decide to finish college. I got stuck for a while in a stupor from personal stuff including deaths and relationships, and just finished up my degree last December. The sense of accomplishment and completeness it gave me felt like I finally closed that chapter of my life and could be at peace. I hope you find that too. You’re a good man.

I respect the hustle of writing the letters and drawings on the glass mirrored.

Usually when doing these transparent marker things, people just flip the video in post so they can write normally. But I appreciate the effort!

Thanks for sharing. Your theories sounds solid. I'm curious about how it is distinguished if particles in layers from being created & those older ones which were kicked up by newer impacts...?

Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸 Cody, you made 6 months of my Tibia fracture recovery slide right pass by me... Thanks!

Great video cody. May i suggest you doing a space series with this video format ? I learned a lot from this one and I love space :)

Cody, just here to say your channel is the one I like the most. I have been watching you for a long time and have watched almost all of your videos, and they are the one I wait the most on KZfaq. I am from Brasil, but I really hope to meet you someday, we have so many things in common that I think you are a friend I couldn't find near me.

Suggestion: Write normal on the glas board then flip the video horizontally.

Looking fresh Cody!

This is one of your most interesting videos, thanks for making it!

Cool video! One tip: invert/mirror the camera feed, that way you don't have to write in mirror script, as the feed will be inverted aswell. If you can't edit that with your software, you can also make the camera look into a mirror and then on you+the plastic board to mirror the image as well

Don't worry Cody, while you might not have a degree yourself, you inspired countless people like me to pursue science. Many of your viewers might even have two or more degrees (hopefully this will include me soon, when I get my Master of biochemistry). Even if you only contributed a tiny fraction per degree, that's already much more than one degree that you managed to achieve

He’s a rock solid guy

Been watching your videos since the start, not commented much but I want to say thankyou.

One of the most insightful videos you’ve ever done Cody… 👍🏼

Cody you're smarter than 99% of college students, if anyone deserved a degree on merit alone, it'd be you.

You know, I'm a hell of a geology nerd myself (not formally studying it but I do spend copious amounts of time to learn stuff about rocks, minerals, volcanology, plate tectonics, the geologic history of earth, etc.) and I must say I've never heard/considered most of this stuff. Absolutely fascinating, and I too now hope this gets thoroughly studied. Many mysteries could be solved simply by getting more accurate and precise data about the history of Earth and the solar system. I'm also really hoping they'll study some of the most recent moon volcanism, iirc there's some potentially Cretaceous aged volcanics (small of course, not like the massive basalt plains from billions of years ago) that could really use some formal exploration.

Man, your looking jacked these days, nice work! P.s I've been watching since before your nitro glycerine video.

Another great video! 👍

“…people who are a lot smarter than me…” What, both of them?

Great video Cody, thank you for the thoughts and info!

This is a really great overview. Never thought much about it from a history perspective but now I am excited to see what they find.

You’re a geologist in my eyes buddy

Cody Slab is my favorite slab

So many exciting future discoveries in store from returning to the moon! Thanks for the great vid Cody! Brill explanation 😊

Thanks Cody for sharing your ideas and teaching us. And making us curious.

By the way, when you're working on a transparency, just do it in your normal writing and flip the video in editing. Makes it way easier to write 🤣. Cool stuff Cody, love your channel.
