Here in the Kurzgesagt labs we test very important ideas to see what happens when you blow things up or play with black holes. Many of you suggested that we look into an idea that sounds reasonable: Shooting nuclear waste into space. It is one of those concepts that seems like an easy fix for one of the main problems with nuclear energy. But it turns out this idea is not just bad but horribly bad and it gets worse the longer you think about it.

Isn't it fantastic how a group of people can sit in a room, do obscure research for hundreds of hours, then present a thesis in an animated format for us all to enjoy. This is one of the best channels on the internet.
-
The "not great, not terrible" quote is what makes this channel special.
-
hearing this refined gentleman say "yeet" made my day.
-
The “Stuff aint cheap” got me crying
-
I love this channel!
-
I never thought I would hear "Rockets go brrrr" in a Kurzgesagt video but I love it
-
I love that these videos are formatted the same way as scientific papers, but written in a way everybody could understand.
-
I thought the chicken at 2:54 was crying from the increased electricity bill and it's a hilarious thought.
-
2 thousand hours for your production in insane. The process you take to create these videos deserves a video of its own.
-
Kurzgesagt animation has always been AMAZING. But somehow it’s getting even better.
-
I'm so happy how well they broke down the whole try to solve problems by launching it into space ideas, and showed just how crazy and difficult it would be. Plus the tidbit of breaking down that shooting something at the sun is not as easy or possible as people think
-
5:24 is the definition of what goes up must come down
-
4:50 "The experts would call this a huge problem" 😂 I just love this line
-
Experts would call this a huge problem. Died laughing. Love these videos. Educational and funny
-
While watching this video my headphones broke and started playing you saying ''Rrrrrr'' in an endless cycle. Cant turn them off, cant turn down the volume, just waiting til it runs out of batteries. Its sad that i need new headphones but the way it broke is funny LOL
-
These videos genuinely have the best animation I’ve ever seen in my entire life
-
I always love the episodes where Kurzgesagt covers a socially relevant topic
-
brings a whole new meaning to what goes up must come down
-
Entertaining and informative! Thank you.
