A Video Series about space and why it exists!
Added 2018-08-09 09:46:56 +0000 UTCHey Patrons!
So this Sunday a new video comes out and there is something different about it I want to let you know up front.
So a few months ago when I got my cancer diagnosis (update about that in about a month) we knew we could not release as many videos as planned this year. So we had to cancel sponsorships and other contracts we had already signed. All of our sponsors and clients reacted pretty amazing, either by giving us much more time or by pausing projects until I was better. But one of the sponsors approached us with a suggestion, an idea for the channel. Brilliant.org, the math education website we had worked together a few times before and had a really good contact with, suggested that they could help us with our research and in turn we might be able to do videos while I was on sick leave.
We never did a project like this before but since we did not know how productive I would be over the summer we said yes and just tried it. Long story short, the project worked our pretty great and is the reason the next two videos exist. Brilliant and us worked together on a six video series about space and space travel stuff, that will be released monthly from August to January. While filling the hole that my disease ripped into our release plan in the summer, it will also lead to way more videos this winter. You'll know when you see the videos, we made a special intro for them.
Hope you like them, we are very happy with how they turned out! –Philipp

2018-08-09 15:44:31 +0000 UTCPhilipp, The videos that you and The Kurzgesagt team put out are the reason that I am passionate about science. I often reference your videos when talking about how amazing the future could be. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that you will be able to make many many more awesome videos for the world to appreciate. They are truly the best on the internet. Best, Brennan
