I just started using patreon and I have a few questions: What is the difference between supporting minutearth and minutephysics? Does the money go to the same people in either case? Are they exactly the same teams? I see that minutearth has more perks for patrons. Is it your intention that minutearth be the main project for patrons to give money to? How would you describe the topics covered in minuteearth? Thanks. Cheers, Daniel.

MinuteEarth Daniel - Thanks for your questions. My brother Henry makes MinutePhysics by himself (impressive), whereas we have a whole team of people making MinuteEarth (including me and Henry). So, yeah, MinuteEarth needs support more than MinutePhysics. We cover a range of topics that center around humans and the environment, and how humans interact with the environment, from a scientific perspective. Let me know if you have any other questions! Alex, on behalf of the team

Daniel Carrera Hi Alex, Thanks. Then I will focus my pledge on MinuteEarth. But if MinutePhysics is just Henry, who is making the Spanish translations? One of the things that grabbed my attention about MinuteEarth and MinutePhysics is that they are bilingual, so presumably they could reach a wider audience. Can you clarify this for me? Cheers, Daniel.

MinuteEarth Daniel - No worries. Our animator Ever was translating MinuteEarth and MinutePhysics into Spanish, but now he's too busy animating, so for the time being we've created an option where anyone who wants to can translate the subtitles into Spanish and other languages at: minuteearth.subtitl.us .
