i thought it was funny!!!
The Arduino is so small, but has so much potential.
great science live my favorite part was the one about Earth asteroid system.
Thanks for the lesson. Arduinos are very interesting!!
I loved the scene where it looks like we went back in time, when everyone was dressed in a suit or dress and was working on the circuits. It reminded me of Thomas Edison for some reason, like our previous science lives who we’ve covered much of. The brown filter too was funny. Thank your Mr B!!
What if an asteroid was going to Earth too fast and broke the rocket, but kept on going, what would we do then?
Loved learning about Arduino’s today.
Hello from Texas! This weeks Live is very interesting!
Hi! I enjoyed watching the Proteges! Could they do more videos with Sherlock Holmes and mysterys?
wow! this was so interesting to watch.
thank you for the lesson! I enjoyed it today
That was very awesome, loved the asteroid.
We love the space and invention lives! Thank you
What is the main computer part for a supercomputer? Or the brains
How many GPS satellites exist to this day ?
Will my parents have to pay extra to use the GoldKey? And if so, how much will it cost?
I loved learning about Arduino’s.
So cool to learn about Arduinos!
Science Live is very Entertaining.
The Arduino is pretty cool to learn about
I love Pajet’s butterfly idea! I motivate her to stick with the idea. -Kaylie
Are there bunch of those GPS satellites?
My mom just told me that she had a speak and spell when she was a kid. Those multi processors look ancient.
WOW!!!! Arduinos are cool!! Can’t wait to watch the next video!!
Hello from NJ

i liked the part when he talked about the chips 🙂
A project that small started your career. That is absolutely amazing!
I hope to own a gold key someday. My Daddy owns an Arduino.
Arduinos was so interesting! I love science live
Arduino’s seem to have a lot of uses along with micro controller’s. The protege’s sure know how to put their drama on.
Where can I get a micro-controller?
Hi its Kayla from Nashville TN
Learning about Arduinos was very cool i liked the lesson very much.
The Speak and Spell looks like it would be cool to see in real life.
I like how gold key are made
Today’s episode was very interesting I learned a lot about arduinos which I never heard heard of! Can’t wait to learn more cool stuff soon.
Arduinos are so interesting
science is my absolute favorite l, so glad to be able to do these classes and live videos
This video is astonishing!!

It’s so cool how technology has grown over the years!
Super interesting topic. Thanks for the video.
I just finished algebra guys!!
Thanks for another great live
Wow thats so cool
Yes Tobias
So cool how a small science project started your big career!
So cool how much technology has gotten smaller over the years!
How common are events such as planetoids or moons in space to crash into eachother?
My first time watching this it was very interesting.
wow that is cool bruh
Science live is always fun to watch, and the arduino was very fun to learn about.
The asteroid mention was definitely my favorite. Space is so interesting, I love it!
That video was so cool
Amazing video love science live.
Great video!!! Loved the Sherlock Holmes
Its truly fascinating that Dr Billings made a computer
Awesome live as always, thank for sharing!
For the science fair do you have to make a physical object or can it just be an experiment?
Learning about space is one of my favorite things to do. I really enjoyed this science lesson.
Why did hitting dimorphos change the orbit of didymos?
My mom just told me that she had a speak and spell when she was a kid. Those multi processors look ancient
NASA launched the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) unmanned mission in 2022 to test whether kinetic impact could alter an asteroid’s path. Kinetic impact is a method that involves colliding a high-speed object with another object to change its trajectory. This test was conducted on Dimorphos, a minor “moonlet” asteroid orbiting a larger asteroid named Didymos. When the unmanned spacecraft struck Dimorphos, monitoring telescopes imaged the asteroid bursting and forming trails of debris. Dimorphos’s orbital period was successfully altered by 32-33 minutes. The mission proved that kinetic impact can effectively change an asteroid’s path, teaching scientists that this method could be used to divert asteroids heading toward Earth.
How did hitting dimorphos change the orbit of didymos as well?
Arduino was interesting!
Arduino was indeed interesting.
Arduinos are so cool! I love how you can use them for different things and there are unique, the crime scene part was my favorite
R-51 and the crocodile trick was an awesome end to the video!
how many GPS satellites are there?
Wow I’ve never been so interested
That was really cool!
Arduinos are awesome, so is DrB.
R51 was awesome!!!
How are the computers we use today similar to or different from the Billings Computer?
This is so cool 😎 yaaaaaah!
Hello from Kentucky. I loved today’s episode I learned about a binary near-Earth asteroid system with a large asteroid named Didymos and a smaller moonlet named Dimorphis that was hit by Earth material in order to test asteroid deflection technology and to alter Dimorphises orbit around Didymos.
I love Science Live!
I found this weeks video very interesting and informative, thanks
Miss Pajet always has the best outfits
R51 is so funny! I love science live and I love space
Got that right.
R51 was so funny lol!
I can’t believe they tried to skip Tobias!
Hello I am from Thailand and this is such an incredible and interesting lesson I love how science live bring out the most amazing lessons
Amazing show!
Amazing Science Live! The Arduino was so interesting!
loved watching these videos every Wednesday.
What inspired Dr. Billings to design this computer in the first place?
I didn’t expect there to be an alligator at the end of the live haha!
I love watching science live videos
I enjoyed learning about Arduino! Thanks for the lesson.
The piece about the Ardunio was so interesting. I learn so much in Science Live!
Science live videos that are about space are my favorite. I think they are some of the most interesting videos to learn from.
I think so too actually!
Wow, those big rocks looked like tiny little pebbles in the picture! Funny how pictures can change how big something looks.
Thank you for this weeks episode!
Amazing show! We love Acellus!
Wow these science videos are just getting better and better!!
Can’t wait for the next one.
My first week, the Nasa Dart mission was interesting 2022. So I read up more after. To intentionally crash into a asteroid wow. Micro chip control you can create so much now. I think R draino is going to need more than tweezers, matchbox, and a boring book to catch an alligator.
I love Sherlock Holmes. great video.
R-51 is so funny with his skits!
Thanks for another great video this week. The asteroid mention was really interesting!
I love being able to hear about the acellus school updates and how much this program helps students across the country!!
I LOVED the Sherlock Homes video
R-51 is so funny! Nasa being able to move and change the direction of an asteroid is so interesting and cool.
I love hearing all the updates about how Acellus is helping all kinds of kids. This is my first year of doing Acellus, but I’ve done other homeschools and love this. Also loved hearing about. ARDUINO.
I loved learning about Arduino!!!
Awesome computer design Dr. B!!!
I loved this live!!
Science live is my favorite part of the week!
this was awesome!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES!!!
I love how the ending with r-51 how he did the alligator trick and it made me crying how funny he screamed😂
So interesting! 🙂
The Protoges were awesome!
I wonder if this info on the DART test can maybe make asteroid interceptors on Earth, something powerful enough to change the direction of asteroids coming towards Earth, that would be pretty cool.
From Texas the arduino is very neat.
R-51 talking about catching a alligator has to be the highlight of my day!
The skit with ‘sherlock holmes’ got me cracking up so hard, especially the celebrate in British* got me laughing please make more videos like this, David and caleb are so funny
I loved this episode! My favorite part was the Technology Spotlight about the NASA spacecraft. The satellite intentionally crashed into the asteroid, Didymos, in an attempt to move it. Ultimately, they were able to judge that it was moved by the dust cloud that came after 5 hours. I can’t wait for the next episode!
i love science especially computer science
It’s interesting how nasa was able to move an asteroid and crash into its moon
That was awesome!
always love watching these
I’m so intrigued to find out more!
Space is really beautiful.
thanks for this weeks video!
Awesome video lesson
Acellus is amazing! I have learntso much from this live!
I love asteroids, I watched a documentary about them last week!
Dr John was fun to watch!! His story feels like the Armageddon movie where they had to crash to make it avoid earth.
I love this science live
Great lesson thank you
Learning about The Ardunio was fascinating! Love hearing from our host every week! 🙂
super-Super cool guys!!! like always!
Very interesting topic this week!
I can’t believe a small device like that can be used to make interactive projects haha, Arduino is like a tiny computer. Science is so interesting!
ACELLUS IS FUN
