Its actually kinda crazy that both creators in the video have studied physics at a university level

There is a meme out there, it shows a graph.
X for the person's life progression
Y for their understanding of orbital mechanics.
There are spots along this graph where he marks notable events.
First mark is for Highschool physics, his understanding of orbital mechanics goes up.
Then the next mark is placed when he starts college/university physics and the line goes down.  They realize they do not understand orbital mechanics that well, but it does trend up again after a while.
Then they get a job with NASA and the line drops back down, it tries to go back up but kind of plateaus.
That is until they start playing kerbal space program and suddenly they can rapidly run simulations and attempt orbital maneuvers within minutes instead of YEARS.
Orbital Mechanics understanding goes up.  A lot.

im not even joking by saying this game actually helped me in my orbital mechanics exam. Whenever we had anything to do with the ISS i could hear the KSP menu music.

I love it when people who know what they're talking about watch stuff like this.

Fun fact about that asteroid you mentioned early on. If I am remembering correctly it was the same asteroid that hit Earth in the game Rage.

I believe Martin explains escape velocity later on. He explains basically every physics thing in the video

1:20 Fun fact, the Apophis asteroid is named after the Space Emperor bad guy from Stargate SG-1. Him t(hr)owing a space rock at Earth was the plot of an episode.

Also Egyptian mythology, the god of Entropy that tries to eat the sun every night.

games like this make me think that this is how education should be done, it should be entertaining. If it's entertaining you have a better chances at having fun at the thing, and thus better learning results. Instead of the "oh god oh no, another test, pls kill me" kind of education we have now.

17:45 the amount of fear that goes through his eyes when Martin says no decouples is PEAK

"For every male action, there's a female overreaction"
😂😂😂☠️ That is hysterical bro!

Do more! His videos get exponentially more enjoyable the more he makes them!

Amazing content as always, can't wait for you to react to the rest of the parts!

"Aging is cringe" is the most based thing I've ever heard.

You definitely should check out Martin's Just Cause speedrunning videos. You may not get to flex your physics degree in the title, but they're some of his best.

That side-eye should have been returned with a doubled down "Case in point!"

Best explanation of Orbit I have ever heard was "Falling to the ground but keep missing"

“Ok so you want to yeet yourself off earth” is not a sentence I would’ve though I would ever hear come from a person of science 😂

4:36 no, it was the matter-antimatter annihilation

KSP is a great game with very detailed science stuffed into it. The tutorials get you going just fine with great explanation step by step. I'd love to watch you play it.

Thank you Chill Zone! Your Escape Velocity Lecture cured my insomnia! You are a miracle worker!
