Any chance of getting a video about O'Neill cylinders and similar ideas? I don't think terraforming planets makes sense when you can create custom environments from scratch with far less effort.

Yeah, this feels like pretending human population growth is limited by the number of nice caves we can find - and ignoring the whole 'we can build houses' idea. This feels more like a misconception that should probably have been brought up on one sentence, and dismissed just as quickly, because it's kinda dumb, rather than have an entire video devoted to it.
