A Journey to the End of the Universe

Наш космос

Could humans ever travel to other galaxies within their lifetime? The immense scale of the Universe seems to prohibit such voyages, after all the nearest galaxy is so far away that it takes light itself — the fastest thing in the Universe — 2.5 million years to complete the trip. Remarkably, there is a trick that might allow humans to accomplish this feat — join us today as we step onboard the constantly accelerating spaceship!

Written and presented by Professor David Kipping.

I Almost Learned To Fly A Jetpack

Наш космос

Gravity Industries make jetpacks. Theyre not practical. Theyre not meant for mass use. But they are a lot of fun. They asked if I wanted to try flying one. Thanks to gravity.co/ — this is not sponsored but, obviously, they did give me a flight in a jetpack.
