  1. they are already close enough to the North pole that they can just hope by Santa him self.

  2. nope a car strapped to a heavy rocked really goes faster. like a 25,000 miles per hour fast.

  3.  @Systox25  Sam: (Wendover) but airplanes.
    45
  4. yep the fastest moving car is a Tesla

  5. No just a bow and arrow, clamor and bagpipes.

  6. To the end it was more like. You have a dink in your tank? Just grab the new one. There are 300 ready to go. That was the main advantage for every tank in action there where up to 20 read to be used. On the other side production was almost nonexistent do to not enough raw material or people to use them.

  7. So did Belgium and a part of northern France. But it was the Netherlands that got the big front.

  8.  @Attaxalotl  more like the container in Thunderbirds 2. Just drop the entire container where people are in. the only people left then are the flight deck crew.

  9.  @yengsabio5315  because water management like it is talked about in this video is our expertise. Halve our country exist do to and is dependent on good water defence system. We have been managing water safety collectively even back in the early middle ages. so if there are floods anywhere on the world people tend to call the Dutch because of it.

  10. memyselfandY21 no Groningen of course

  11.  @saikiran2310  because budgets. A typical high quality YouTube video like this has a budget set in the hundreds of dollars. (including both man hour, equipment use (and there maintenance), licensing's, rental, administrative work and more) A high quality tv production can have a budget in to the tens of thousands to even extremes of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The things you could do are much much bigger then you can dream of with a YouTube production budget. Where a YouTube production crew exist between 1 and 10 people for everything. A tv crew might already have that amount of people only in the pre production. a full on production work can involve in to 100 people in the whole chain. that is the biggest difference.

  12.  @tpmiranda  they can't really enforce him to pay. he lives in Ireland as a Irish citizen. The US law does not apply there.

  13.  @Fottrel  make it cheaper every row gets one suite. And food is one pill each. Fed with rainwater if lucky.

  14. we need the US build aircraft in order to be able to use the US build tactical nukes that we have stored in the airbase in Woensdrecht if needed.

  15. I must be the most terrible KSP user then. I feel like my mission is a success when the rocked has reached space. (for ever) I lost the count of Kerbal's that are for ever drifting true space with no hope ever getting anywhere. how do you mean excessive force? I want even more power

  16.  @christopherdahle9985  That is do to them all being corporate networks. there first incentive is to make money (on the add around a show) a public network like the BBC is public funded with a portion of the national taxation funds. Giving room for shows like Blue earth. And yes YouTube can bring allot but if someone would give them the budget, space and man power of a high production show imagine what would be possible. the problem is who would want to give someone that amount of money if the return investment would not hold up .

  17.  @snethss  actual yes it does. they still cant force someone to pay. they (the government) can dis allow you to use sites that are located on a US server. Only if the US would request a other nation to extradite a suspect and that nation honours that request can they force you to pay or be penalised if needed. But then for people like me as a European i have to do business with YouTube Dublin. YouTube Dublin are bound to follow Irish and EU regulations and laws not US laws. it could even be used by Google as a loop hole. Even more if you take in to account that a big chunk of the Google date centres are also located with in the same EU marked space. (Google Europe (YouTube included) for all intense and porpoises could basically been seen as a separate company with a license to use all the Google inc. properties and brands.

  18. We would love to help New York here in the Netherlands but the US does not allow us. it was similar back with the flooding of New Orleans after Katrina. We even offered it to them but the US didn't allow it. on fear of competition in there internal marked on dredging and water management. ton be fair it would be no competition we are the best in this kind of work. (we have to in order to keep alive)

  19. still the Tesla Roadster is moving faster. about (25.000 miph/40.23360 kmph) true the cosmos.

  20. Tristan Tully one on one the Tiger outclassed the T-34 (or about any tank then) only the Tiger was not easy to use and demanded highly trained crew and lot's of fuel. the T-34 on the other side was very basic and easy to operate even with minimal training. so losing one Tiger was a way more costly effect then the loss of a T-34.

  21. when they have figured out how to build and more how to transport that size wind blades. Trust me they are still trying to go bigger and bigger. the question is not if but how.

  22.  @michaelwalsh6276  it's Canadian. British Colombia lays within Canada. So Canada should start stocking there maple syrup grenades.

  24.  @samsplaying  have you seen what a high quality BBC production can create? To the point that people go to a cinema to experience it. They are in no way or shape dead. It's the same here in the Netherlands high quality nature documents can go all out. It might be important to know they are often made by the public broadcaster. They have the very deep pockets to do make those even if it takes up to 5 years to make them. (from idea to being aired.

  25. I don't know if he will cover just basic everyday items. like toilet paper or dish soap. Just basic household items. Not that it would not be fascinating as to make them financial operatable they scale up massively.

  26. i wonder what happens if the rocked would let go a fraction of time to early or to late. (like a second) and slam at full max speed in to a wall. That wall will need to be able to absorb all the force of both the rocked the fuel in it and the actual payload.

  27. it might even help to make it a tiny bit lower in height. What might help for storage below deck. But it could be a case of helping in both areas.

  28. great videos. both this main as the King of the North and the Behind the Scenes Interview. I do wonder having seen it all how much more material in B shots and what not there is. Like in the Behind the Scenes you do show a bit of things not even seen here. but It looked so fun to just see. I am honest to say I just want to see much more of it. Its that fun.

  29.  @chaztitan6457  why you ask? Is it about my comment saying Tesla has now the fastest moving production car ever made They have a production car moving at a speed of 65,885 mi/h (106,031 km/h, 29.45 km/s)

  30. lucky they did by making the same mistake as Napoleon did. underestimating how gigantic Russia it self is. that by it self is a very good defence.

  31. Timothy McLean yep Napoleon got the same issue. it wasn't so much the army as just the nation it self.

  32. Kapper Germany should have been smarter and kept his focus on the United Kingdom. so it didn't head two battle fronts at once. and if they were done later go and try to engage the Soviet Union. on pure military capabilities they were more than capable if they specialised there army to the vastness of Russia. but i am very happy that they didn't succeed.

  33. Jun Yu Tan the Panther? Wasn't the Tiger more advanced and stronger? It was also it's own weakness it was to advanced and precise.

  34. PajamaMan it definitely was Stalin even used it in combination with the scorch earth technique. Plus for every 1 German where 5 Soviet soldiers.

  35.  @hieronymusnervig8712  the real work horse was and still is our planet earth. It had to endure everything that is happening to it. And still keep on racing true the galaxy around the sun.

  37.  @neilwilson5785  war is only successful if you don't need to start one. In the end war is the most disruptive concept there is.

  38.  @Jack-jb4qd  the people losing life on all sides will never bring profit and wond bring in new generations. They are dead. All the buildings lost are gone. All the stuff that had to be used in combat can't be used elsewhere. A nation can really be destroyed for generations do to one crippling battle. In all the best war is the one you don't have to fight.

  39. that sounds really to bad. here in the Netherlands we have had the same storms coming over but it did way less damage. But then we really trow millions of euros on water safety for just he regular maintenance. But then we just can't afford not to. our incentive is much higher. Pay or drown is our option.

  40. It's to bad that you can't sign up to nebula without a credit card. If i could use my PayPal account that would help.

  41.  @SparklingWalrus  In my cases there might have been enough fuel to fly back before landing. However it will just burn up when it lands very fast in to the moon. Some are saying that I am just bombing the moon bit hey a landing is a landing that hunk of metal is on the moon.

  44. Here in the Netherlands we have a windfarm that has a detection system. If birds come to close to the towers the blades are automatically shut down. (all of the blades at once)

  45. can't they use (sea) water as a battery? use the excess energy during the peaks to pump water up a reservoir and when you need the energy let gravity pull the water down again across a turbine. this is something the UK already has been using for a pretty long time. if you use sea water it won't even use fresh water.

  46. was this a double add? Brilliant and Tesla? does that mean that we will get a the new Tesla with 20% discount?

  47.  @CarFreeSegnitz  that plus the problem you got when that aircraft would be flying anywhere above the ground and do to any problem crash land back to the ground. I mean with a conventual aircraft it is already a massive fire ball and all. If you add a nuclear core in to the mix you would have your self a dirty bomb at best or a full out atomic bomb at worse. I would not like to live somewhere where those can fly over.

  48. There is one big problem with a nuclear propulsion rocked. You need to take a nuclear reactor core in to space on a rocked in the first place. With the very scary but realistic problem that if something goes wrong during lift off or any stage with in the earth atmosphere. The explosion will result in a dirty bomb at least or a full out atomic explosion at worse. Even when they are in orbit around earth but low enough to fall back down if a other object smashes in to said rocked you still have a dirty bomb falling down to earth with out any control where it might fall.

  49. I have had the privilege to drive across the dam multiple times. And also visit the first pilon up close. But then my own father has helped to build the dam and all that was needed for the project.

  50.  @skylerbowerbank5847  even those can be fascinating as they often scale up big in order to make them work. Like the production of pencils or screws. Everything you can buy for relative cheap . It becomes interesting in how to make it at the level they do to make it that cheap.
