Rockets
Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell
Kurzgesagt — Unlimited Resources From Space: Asteroid Mining. A beautifully animated overview of how off-world mining and lunar processing would actually work — and why the real bottleneck has always been getting the cost of access low enough to matter. The perfect starting point for the whole 'drag the asteroid belt home' thought experiment. Find out more on their YouTube channel: @kurzgesagt

StarTalk
StarTalk — Why the Moon is Spiraling Away From Us. Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the tidal-momentum mechanism behind the Moon's ~3.8 cm-per-year recession — the same physics that explains why you can't 'reel the Moon back in' just by making Earth heavier.
