This was our last video of the year 12,020 and oh well, what an interesting and weird year it was, in all the worst ways. But it is finally over. We want to end it by saying thank you. For watching our videos, sharing and commenting and of course for your direct support. We get to do this channel and work on many exciting things because of you birbs and we are really grateful for that. Especially in this weird year it was great to be able to work on these videos, be it from home rather than together in our studio. So let's all hope together that next year will be super boring. A boring year would just be so delightful for a change.

What if We Nuke the Moon?

Get your Moon Poster and Baby Duck Plushie here: https://shop.kurzgesagt.org/ Sources & further reading: https://sites.google.com/view/sources-nukethemoon/ What would happen if we were to detonate a very very powerful nuclear weapon on the moon? Would the explosion knock its orbit towards earth, causing tidal waves and misery? Could the moon be destroyed, showering the earth in a rain of meteoric death?

In all my craziness, I couldn't invent such a crazy (stupid) idea! Let us hope that 12021. will be normal again :)

What lovely animation. I wasn't expecting it to be as graphic as it was when I started watching. 😀

I will watch it in a sec, but it reminds me of Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

Please, do the same but with Mars :)

Great video, I would have never fought about something like that. But still, good work and nice animation.

One of you best animation yet. I loved the solo-mo just before the explosion, with the metal parts separating; also the part where you explained the struggle between the atmosphere and te expanding ball of plasma. Excellent work, I’m glad to be a patreon.

This got me to thinking how the Death Star from Star Wars would actually work. In the film the planet explodes from the inside, which seems unlikely. It would be much more like a close range hit from a Gamma Ray burst. Would it punch a hole through the planet? Or vaporise the sides? Would the planet be pushed or moved on orbit? Seems like between 2 of your videos but maybe to close to them.

would love a video on nuclear waste!
