I suspect you meant to post this comment on the QI video.

Also just watched this thanks to this post. Awesome! Thanks.

But what things are they actually doing? How are they helping to save it? I can't be the only one left unsatisfied... >

That statement is correct, but in this instance it applies to you.

Even if this had microwave parts it would not be able to cause any sort of radiation poisoning because microwaves are also non-ionising.

Optical lasers produce non-ionising radiation, and do not use any radioactive materials to produce the laser light, so he cannot get "radiation poisoning." Only burns from direct contact with the beam or eye damage from direct or reflected light are possible. Also as I think he mentions, at these power levels, even diffuse reflections are likely to cause eye damage, in other words it doesn't take a mirror, almost any surface will do.

Uh no, anime characters are not "drawn to look more like westerners"

Wow, this looks so much cooler than the Drone Racing League, at least in terms of the video quality and sense of speed. DRL is arguably more impressive with their indoor high risk circuits though.

Looking forward to seeing more of both!
