0:00.0 | Well, those of you that are longtime watchers of the show know that there's one particular topic that the three of us just keep coming back to repeatedly, partially, because it's got nothing to do with politics, and it's always nice to get that taste out of your mouth. |
0:14.7 | But we're all interested in spaceflight, space exploration. |
0:18.7 | We've done live shows where they ran the probe into a comet |
0:23.6 | and we're constantly talking about SpaceX and all this other stuff. So that all appeals to the three of us, |
0:29.5 | and I'm sure it appeals to many of you too. And by the way, I'm Bill Little here with Steve Green and Scott. |
0:33.7 | But guys, I saw something that I've also talked about, mostly on my other channel in Stratosphere Studios. |
0:38.9 | There's a computer program out there called Space Engine, and it's not a game, and it's not really quite a simulator. |
0:47.2 | It's important to people get what this is just super fast. |
0:50.5 | What it basically does is it's, you can, all the planets in our solar system are to scale, |

1:06.0 | and the computer will procedurally generate a solar system based on what we know about planetary dynamics. |
1:14.8 | So there is, in fact, millions and millions of these dots out there, and the users are going to |
1:19.9 | explore all of these things trying to find Earth-like planets. Now, one of these guys, |
1:24.3 | who's got a channel called Love Life 42, I'm sorry, Live Life 42, put together a montage |
1:31.2 | that I saw. I'm just going to show you a little bit of it because when I watched this, |
1:34.5 | I had a realization that I thought was worth doing a show about. So here's just a little bit of |
1:39.5 | some scenes from Space Engine on, as put together by a YouTuber named Live Life 42. So Steve, I saw these incredible images, right? |
2:22.5 | And while they're fictional in terms of being procedural, they are astronomically accurate. |
2:27.7 | This is what it would look like if there was a planet in this particular place. |
