Be Smart asks which places remain beyond human footsteps

Joe Hanson's only new upload turns exploration into a question about where people cannot, or should not, go.

Where have humans never been?

Exploration doesn't always mean finding a way in. The conversation around Be Smart's new "Where have humans never been?" includes a different possibility: some places are worth keeping people out of.

Joe Hanson's only upload this week reached about 80,000 views in its first eleven hours. Viewers picked up on scientific restrictions on visiting certain locations, with Romania's Movile Cave and the tabletop mountains known as tepuis appearing in the discussion. Others wondered how many perfectly accessible patches of ground might, simply by chance, never have felt a human footstep. The question gets bigger the longer you sit with it.

The new exploration upload is the channel's busiest video by daily views right now. "Your blood is never blue?", posted just over a week ago, is also drawing attention, keeping Hanson's molecular-biology territory close at hand alongside the geography.

Across the channel, the week brought roughly a million views and a growing subscriber audience. That weekly viewing total sits in the middle of its nearby science peers: SciShow had a substantially bigger week, while minutephysics and Real Engineering had smaller totals. Be Smart's daily channel viewing is currently much quieter than usual, despite the fresh upload's activity.

And for viewers without an expedition budget, the comments offered a suitably domestic unexplored frontier: the back of the refrigerator.
