do you remember the first time you were
told that there are more stars in the
sky than there are grains of sand on all
the beaches and deserts in the whole
entire world I do I didn't believe it hi
I'm Derek I run the Science Channel
veritasium I want to talk to you today
about something called YouTube Spacelab
it's being launched to give you the
opportunity to have an experiment you
designed performed in space what you
have to do is go to youtube.com slash
Space Lab read all the terms and
conditions make sure your parents are
comfortable with you doing it and then
try to make a 2 minute video that
explains what you want to do in space if
you're aged 14 to 18 you can enter get
into action make a YouTube video explain
the idea that you would like to see
performing the space station make it
upside down dance around make it with
your friend a pet moose dress in a morph
suit moose now your idea will be scored
by a very special panel of judges so
make sure you describe your hypothesis
method and expected results if you're
successful you could win a trip to NASA
and your experiment could be performed
in space and broadcast live to the world
that is a pretty awesome prize I mean I
wish I could enter this anyone got a
fake ID coming up with the ideas is not
easy but you know there are actually
more connections in your brain than
there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy
