    The premise is pretty self explanatory, and it could easily just have been a fun little pop science video about an interesting idea, but I was impressed at how candid the video is about the things they messed up or just straight up didn’t think of - these are clearly smart, capable people with years of expertise and months of genuinely complex work on the line, and they’re on camera basically saying “yeah, we totally lost that one on something that should’ve been obvious, let’s try again”. It’s a nice reminder of what the process of building something really looks like, however many variables you think you’ve accounted for.
