Let’s say that you're a part time 6th grade teacher and your subjects are astronomy and spaceflight. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic you won't be returning to school this fall.

To fill the void you decide to create a YouTube channel for your students. You'll upload videos from locations around the world but those locations must be significant from an astronomical or a spaceflight point of view.

You're not as young as you once were but your health is good and you can devote yourself full time to this project. Aside from a rather fussy cat you have no commitments at home. You've recently come into an inheritance and you decide that you can devote $750,000 to this project.

Where do you go and what do you do?

Unfortunately, as travel is not recommended (and in many cases, prohibited) as a result of the pandemic, you may want to look at alternative approaches. Many professional travel vloggers have had to cease their productions and refocus on domestic travel or home projects.

Maybe you can interview the people working at the locations via teleconference, and present those discussions on your planned channel.

At the moment things are pretty bleak but I’m hoping that someday this pandemic will be behind us. It can’t last forever. Video interviews and sites of local interest are a good idea in the mean time. Who’d have thought that a virus would bring world travel almost to a standstill.
