  • Hello! This computer movie will explain how to go to space

  • using only the ten hundred words in our language that people use the most.

  • Going to space is hard.

  • First because the Earth pulls things toward it,

  • so not only do you have to fight the Earth's pull to get to space,

  • you also have to go really fast to the side, so that when you fall back toward Earth

  • you miss and go around, instead.

  • That's how you stay in space.

  • The best way we know of to get to space and stay there

  • is an up-goer that burns fire-water,

  • usually made from all dead animals

  • or the kind of air that once burned the big sky-bag, and people died.

  • The burning fire-water hits the inside of the up-goer so hard

  • that it pushes the up-goer up.

  • Actually, it pushes the up-goer away from where the fire comes out.

  • If the fire-end points toward space, you are having a bad problem,

  • and will not go to space, today.

  • There are often several fire-water burning parts to an up-goer,

  • so that after you use up the fire-water in one part,

  • you can drop it, and don't have to lift it all the way to space too.

  • Space is cold and has no air,

  • so if you want to go to space and live,

  • you need to be on an up-goer that has a room for people in it, usually on top.

  • This room has heaters, and air, and no holes, so that you can stay alive,

  • and a window, so that you can enjoy looking at Earth from space.

  • It also has a thick side, so that if you want to come back from space,

  • you won't burn up from all the air you hit on the way down.

  • Hitting air helps slow you down a lot,

  • but to help slow down even more, there are big sheets to catch air too,

  • so you don't hit the ground too hard.

  • We humans pretty much always have several up-goers almost ready to go to space.

  • But if you try to get in one of them, a lot of people would get really mad at you,

  • and you'd get in trouble and probably go into a locked room behind bars.

  • If you want to use an up-goer to go to space instead of into that room,

  • you have to have many important people say "OK".

  • Before they say "OK", you have to prepare to go to space for many years.

  • If you want to be like many people who went to space in the past,

  • you should go to school to learn to fly sky-boats, and be really good at it.

  • You also need to be able to see and hear very well, and not get a sick body or head.

  • There are many other things you need to be good at, too, and you need to be lucky.

  • But if you're good, and lucky, and all the important people say "OK",

  • then maybe you can go to space someday.

  • Thanks for watching. If you like confusing stuff explained in simple words,

  • you'll probably like the book "Thing Explainer"

  • by the man who wrote the picture story, XKCD, and the book called "What if?".

  • You can find "Thing Explainer" at book stores,

  • or by using your computer to search the place where many computers think together,

  • or by looking in the words below this computer movie.

  • I also want to add that I am a huge fan of XKCD and...

  • I'm just super excited to be able to make this video.

  • You should definitely check out "Thing Explainer" if you're into XKCD,

  • it's a great book, it's really fun, the drawings are really fun to pore through,

  • and Randall's done a great job with it,

  • it's beautiful. And if you like this video, this style of video,

  • please, let me know, share, I'm excited to see what you think.

  • Thanks for watching.
