We tend to associate science fiction with the fantastical--space ships, floating cities, robots everywhere, the works--while not necessarily considering whether it's plausible. However, there's a subset of more inventive minds out there who seriously think through whether these bizarrely futuristic pipe-dreams actually comport to real-world science. Isaac Arthur is one of those minds, and in the spirit of his work lacking a preexisting thread, this one's for him.
They may be posted in achronological order, but here's a sample of his videos to start this thread off:
Asteroid Mining
Outward Bound: Colonizing Jupiter
Upward Bound: Space Farming
Thank you in advance, Zyobot

Ah yes, I love this channel!
I've been watching it for about three years now... don't watch every single episode (since it's the sort of thing I have to be in the mood for, and sometimes I'm just not in the mood), but I do watch the majority of them eventually.
Definitely not for everyone, but those who like it tend to love it!

Haven't posted here in a while (and have neglected to post his latest videos, as a consequence).  Let's ameliorate that now. Spaceports: Ascending to the StarsStanding Out in a Civilization of TrillionsThe Future of FarmingMore where that came from, as usual. |

Definitely not one of his typical videos, but since it involves Isaac and is worth watching on its own:
Worldbuilding in Science Fiction
(Have an original sci-fi franchise in the works myself, but that's for another thread.)
