That episode had some of the best jokes in the entire series. “That just raises further questions!”
“An albino humping worm!”
“Why do they call it that?”
“Because it doesn’t have any pigment.”
I really love the mandatory fishing license-bit. Truly a peak Futurama-episode!
I feel like the battleship Yamato in the documentary Star Blazers has already demonstrated that it is completely viable to launch a naval vessel into orbit and have it perform with excellence.
Just as a note, though - nukes in space work completely differently than nukes in the atmosphere.
Nukes in space are basically contact weapons. Wave motion guns are far more effective
I think they also have an EMP effect that can damage ship/sat electronics.
But, like the internet, a sub is a series of tubes. You have a big horizontal tube that the people and the engine lives in, and you have vertical ones where the things that blow up cities live.
I mean, there are optional smaller horizontal tubes, but I feel like if you’re going to launch a sub into space it really ought to be one of the big ones. Maybe it’s just a Freudian thing.
They mention that in Red Rising (or one of the following books)
I love the ridiculous questions this channel tackles and it was an immediate subscribe. My favorite so far is the baseball-near-lightspeed one.
Me too, I had to share it. I actually remember that What If from the blog but that was like a decade ago. It’s even better in video format.

That video and channel are also fun, but I meant this one from xkcd’s What If channel about a baseball moving at 90% the speed the light:) Hopefully that’s a new one for you because (obviously) I liked it quite a bit.
