An ancient, abandoned alien space station has been discovered. Can you beat everyone in the galaxy and reach it first?--Its an incredible discovery: an abandoned alien space station filled with precursor technology. Now every species in the galaxy is in a mad dash to get there first, but youve got a problem. Your ship cant hold enough fuel to get you there unless you vent caches of it into space at precise points and then come back for the fuel later. Can you reach the alien space station? Dan Finkel shows how.Lesson by Daniel Finkel, directed by Artrake Studio.Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-solve-the-dark-matter-fuel-riddle-daniel-finkelThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
