Huge If True

The real story about “de-extinction”... The Tasmanian tiger was declared extinct in 1982. But now… scientists are trying to bring it BACK. And it’s not alone! You might’ve seen news about dire wolves, woolly mammoths, passenger pigeons… dodo birds… dinosaurs?? “De-extinction” has become a huge and urgent scientific debate. But when I took a deep dive into what’s really going on here, I realized we're getting this conversation very, very wrong. We're on the cusp of a huge genetic breakthrough… and yet the most "huge if true" thing happening here isn’t bringing back extinct animals. It's what this means for all the animals alive today! And very few people seem to know about it…

If an asteroid is coming for Earth… what would we really do? Imagine, it’s 2034, and a rock the size of a mountain, far off in our solar system is on a direct impact course for Earth. How would we know? And what would we actually DO about it? In this video, we play out a fictional asteroid headed for Earth – with help from my friend and former NASA engineer Mark Rober and rare access into a remote facility where they discover NEW asteroids – to show you all the real science and tech we would use to defend our planet if an asteroid is about to hit Earth! [SPOILER] Our rock was published in the Minor Planet Electronic Circular (MPEC) here! MPEC 2025-K125 : 2025 KS6
