1. cool
2. This should have some action, but it's good. But I'm going back to Tanki.
3. Sorry, but she is boring. She might have all the PHD's of the world, but charisma cannot be learned in any university. I stopped watching after few minutes in spite of my loving for astronomy. Better if she recommends any book she has written.
4. Great lecture - loved the animations!  Shame about the resolution and sound...
5. horrible sound...
6. So SETI Search for life in the universe gets a $100 million boost! we <333 it!
   SETI just wondering what do we do if they have Quantum Wetware computers for communications? xD  Is SETI now Quantum biohacking the Universe? =P
   Is SETI USA now just a new imperial apparatchiks tool?.......................
   Eventually I'd arrive at a decision that was just the most ridiculous.^^
7. Welcome back Adrian!
8. #SETITalks: Pluto, the Kuiper belt and the early history of the solar system - Renu Malhotra
   
   Our understanding of the formation of the solar system has undergone a revolution in recent years, owing to new theoretical insights into the origin of Pluto and the discovery of the Kuiper belt and its complex dynamical structure. The emerging picture is one of dramatic orbital migration of the planets in the early history of the solar system, driven by interaction with the primordial Kuiper belt, which produced the final solar system architecture that we live in today. The evidence is all over the solar system, as close as the Moon and as far away as Pluto and the remnant Kuiper belt. Dr. Malhotra will review this new view of our solar system's history, describe the astronomical evidence, and critically assess current theoretical models.

9. Is it possible for us viewers to make requests for videos? Id love to see a lecture from an impact/crater specialist. Nearly all creators are perfect circles, but we also have square shaped crater (like meteor crater), and even hexagons. Personally I would imagine tear shaped and other shapes as I cant imagine them all hitting squarely on. But perhaps that doesn't matter. A circle is created no matter what angle an asteroid comes in at?
10. Sadly I can not see the pointer when referring to your info on screen.....
11. Yay: Adrian
