Today we are answering an age-old very scientific and important question: What if the moon crashes into earth? It’s more interesting and weird than you probably think. Let's start with the basics: Why isn't the Moon on its way to crash into us already?

  • @sottozen
    A little too high a price to pay in order to have a view like Saturn! Loved this one so much!
  • @InoGamerz
    The animation is god tier but the music and sound effects are criminally underrated. Massive appreciation to all the team effort.
  • @mukomaryan4919
    I love all the little Majora's Mask references in this video. Knowing Kurzgesagt and their gaming references I came in hoping to see a creepy faced moon and I was not disappointed.
  • @deirenne
    "According to science, the Moon is big and very massive" Spoken like a true master of sciencing 💜
  • @Tuster491120010
    Can you imagine if this was an apocalypse survival game, and at the end, the final scene is emerging from a bunker to the view of moon rings and the sunrise? That would be awesome.
  • @GanonTEK
    First a Majora's Mask reference, then potentially a Doctor Who reference (Moon is an egg) and a Mumbo Jumbo himself with a Hermitcraft reference! I love this video.
  • @nakulaman
    This is a really interesting concept for a videogame. Every day you have to scavenge for resources before the tide comes, and as the tide grows taller, there are less and less resources. The game could end with the moon's disintegration.
  • @peterlane7128
    You know what the crazy thing is? My wife was watching a HermitCraft season end video yesterday where the moon crashes into the planet, and I thought to myself; "I wonder if Kurzgesagt has done a video on the moon crashing into earth yet?" And if I had acted on that thought and searched 12 hours ago, the answer would have been no.
  • @PAK_NG-Shorts
    “I’d like some planetary rings please!” ”That would be 1 moon.” “Okay!”
  • @Rupitash
    That Majora's Mask reference caught me off guard and I love it lol Edit: The thing about the rock being squeezed explains why on the 3rd day in Majora's Mask, the earth shakes after every hour, it always had me confused as I at first didn't understand why the approaching of a large object would make the earth shake, finally learned why
  • @pivotkid85
    If only the plot of Moonfall was this good. The movie focused too much on why the moon was falling and not enough on the effects it would have on earth and civilisation.
  • @Tapakapa
    Wow. This did not end the way I thought it would.
  • @L3xu
    No way you guys did a subtle Zelda Majora's Mask reference at 1:58! I was so shocked I rewatched it several times 😂 Love your work, keep it up 🌍
  • @DJ5un
    I keep coming back to this one. This is probably my absolute favorite Kurzgesagt video. Just wonderfully told
  • Man, how can Steve Taylor convey so many emotions in a so stable voice, gets me thinking from "Haha very funny" to "That's terrifying". Love the channel, congrats to all.
  • @gooseghost4099
    10:24 Not sure if this was already mentioned, but the organ playing in the background is just so perfectly chilling 😅
  • "According to science, the moon is big, and very massive" Best line.
