Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about several new studies that investigate our options in creating a radiation shield for space travel out of materials produced by Chernobyl fungi and pure metal rust.Link1: https://hub.jhu.edu/2019/11/01/melanin-space-study/

Very informative video Anton! Thank you!
Might improve the efficiency of the Plutonium RTGs
That’s very interesting Anton. Perhaps too we will find radiation protection materials on the surface of our Moon.
Respect, Best Regards and Best Wishes!!
– Mr. Putin, the Admiral Kusnetsov aircraft carrier is rusting away!
– It just shields itself from radiation…
Just wanted to say I love your channel. Please keep the videos coming!
Wow. Just WOW… TFS, G
YOU are a wonderful person Anton. Keep up the great work!
Dude, that is so cool. Fungi addapting to use radiation instead of V.L. crazy. Thanks for the post.
Instead of “rust” , iron oxide paint.
This basically means there must be life everywhere
Excellent! Thank you Anton, your videos are always an informative and enjoyable experience. I needed some entertainment today, I’m recovering from a crappy eye injury.
I love the way you always get straight to the point….
no long intros
no clickbaits
just scientific awesomeness
When life gives you nuclear disasters…
You use it to make cosmic subscreen…
Humans used iron oxide in the form of ochre to protect their skin from radiation in the past.
“South Carolina”
Thank you! Great update.
EVE Online: In Rust We Trust.
The Minmatar were right all along
next; mold & rust covered spacecraft
This is great news , I’ve got all new plans for that 53 Buick in the back yard now .
See Chernobyl was beneficial after all
Pretty cool, a fungus suit to explore space.
Now the upcoming scifi space adventure series will have rusty space ships….😂😂😂
Imagine we could genetically modify humans to absorb space radiation as food
Hard to watch fungi when having breakfast 😁
That’s really interesting!
One of the most fascinating videos I’ve watched all year on YouTube – just wow. In my opinion, this is +1 for life being possible in the universe in almost any conditions.
Let’s manscape so we can have smooth balls in zero-G!
It remind me of the the best SF organic polymorph (ic) hulls of some spece ships…..
AWESOME!!!!
Thank you for sharing. I am reading Red Mars btw. cool to hear about progress in real life .
I’m really more magnificent than wonderful, but thanks bro!
really interesting, finding things already in existence that will help protect us in the future. Thanks for the research.
co-evolving, i like it.
Great🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️💯💯
Imagine what the aliens👽 will think of us when we become a spacefaring race in our 🍄fungi-rust covered ships😆
I knew there would be spacesrooms 🍄🍄🍄
OMFG!!! So the Minmatar actually know what they are doing letting their ships rust!!!!
Mmmmm. Fungi grown with radiation instead of light. Now that’s good eatin’.
And look how fast its adapted .
Life is everywhere in the universe . This one video proves it .
Anton…you’re my guy but, naw buddy, not EVERYONE has plenty of melanin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
WOW- new type of ecosystem
I am gonna patent a melanin sunscreen. Hold my chai.
Damn, there goes all the race bullshit down the toilet! Melanin is actualy a future space shield, like a kind of super power! 😂
It’s summer in the southern hemisphere and the results aren’t in. 😭😉
Rusty space station! Hmmm that sounds like Rat Rod project to me hhh ☺️
Generating energy in space from cosmic radiation using one of the most controversial and conflict related molecules on the planet.
Great news natural protection 👨🏿⚕️😎🖖🏿
after yesterdays video was expecting exactly this one or MATRIX the beggining :p
I love how much new and exciting information you manage to deliver every day! Thanks to you wonderful person.
I had a Girlfriend in Germany in the ’80s and I called her Chernobyl fungus, people didn’t like her at first but she eventually grew on them.
🤔 I think we came out of “the same box”, and it’s “the same box” that poses the greatest danger to us.
Fungi that can withstand radiation. You know what they say, life uhh, finds a way
I laughed even he was all this this and fluid im glob be too lazy 🤣
I read years ago that mosses took over after chernobyl. mosses. and there are certain mosses used in medicinals
The Chernobyl incident had to happen so we could explore the universe and its beauty
*slaps roof of car*
You can get so much radiation shielding on this bad boy!
5:01 We might very well have discovered a new type of scientist. I want this fashionable hipster sub-species named after me for calling it.
I went to school with the man the found this out. He was never a very fungi..
I’ll see myself out.
Could we coat a spaceship in fungus, powering the vessel with background radiation?
3:06 middle row, very first person on the left. So pretty, I’m in love!
So wearing blackface now protects one in space? Justin Trudeau must be a genius. 😏
1:23 hey! i’m watching this from USC. Studying Aerospace
Wild
33 seconds in, and I’m like..
PUT THE FUNGUS ON THE SHIP! YAAAS!
Makes me want to research and create something spectacular!! Ty
Damn I remember when Anton had 800 subs and was getting 2k views per vid now he’s got almost 500k subs
“Huston, we’re watching Life (2017) movie IRL”
Hello, I am really wonderful person🙌
Sci-fi:
Reality: Rust-based shields
I am so, so sorry… I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now, and they pop up daily.

But now I realised I hadn’t even subscribed to your channel
So, I adjusted my mistake
Chernobyl + fungus is one of the scariest combinations of words I ever heard
“Get out of here STALKER!” Alright boys, we’re going to get cheeki breeki in SPACE! Davai!
Imagine this rust and melanine could be used in nuclear plant creating 100% safe and clean energy. :O
I’m loving these biology videos.
Professor explains the lesson is like understanding how girls work
Friend explains the lesson be like:
WELL HELLLLLLOOOO WUNDERFUL PERSON, anton!!
YOU ARE A FUNGI (fun🍄guy), ANTON. 😂
I find it interesting
that some things that are dangerous for us
can be used in other ways to help us
I was waiting for this video ever since you mentioned it in your last video about melanin and research with it, and you have a really good way of explaining research from topics that are otherwise complex, I enjoy them a lot
Cover the iss with iron oxide red. Barn paint has found a new life. 😁😁
If Bloomberg ses this:
Bloomberg: Afrikans are Aliens. 🤦🏽♂️.
No wonder I remain so young looking. I’ve been driving a rusted car for years.
Rust! Rust! I spend my life getting rid of the crap. There’s some irony in that.
“There are no accidents” – Master Oogway
Combine the fungus then it gets humongous
There’s fungus among us lol
Rust ships make me think of the reevers from firefly
Life, uh, finds a way.
Hah, finally we can put my junker ford taurus in my driveway to good use!!
Humans to radiation- “1V1 me on Rust bro!”
Anton is simply the best!
“Rustoleum” takes on a whole new meaning!
That is sooooo wonderful! Wow we are literally scratching the surface it’s amazing how we are finally tapping into some unique technology to protect us from Radiation.
Mars is made of rust so live underground there.
In rust we trust
They’re like the mushrooms that reduce your rads in Fallout, with the way they thrive in the rads.
“To use melanin in the same way that chlorophyll is used by plants to produce energy.”
Amazing.
Melanin spacesuits? Rust-covered spacecraft? Protecting us from radiation? This is awesome information dude. Thanks for sharing!
A flat-Earthers greatest fear is sphere itself
1950s: “Radiation might create horrible mutants!”
2020s: “Radiation has created helpful mutants!”
Soon our bacterial mega-batteries will be supercharged with fungus-impregnated rust layers to power spaceships as we conquer the solar system.
Im not driving a junker! It’s a radiation-proof exploration-vessel
