that's cool and all.. but why he keeps getting the same question over and over?

Original video features Jack Fischer and Peggy Whitson. Op edited out Jack and put himself in

There is no going back to who you were after such an experience.

Was that a very tongue in cheek swipe at trump? (Pumpkin...orange...)
silentwolf1999
In the hobbits defense. In the movie, The Shire knew almost nothing of the outside world and didnt really care.
iHveNoCleverName
Um actually they were invaded by a depowered white robed guy and his lackey along with a gang of hobits
silentwolf1999
In the books yes, but movie no.

I can't stop laughing at that. I feel for the guy, but damn that's funny.

I think it is fake. That guy is a filmmaker and edited out the real astronaut, Jack Fischer.

Your daily reminder that NASA is comprised of the biggest nerds in America and you will never approach their collective glory.

Why does he keep calling on the same person? Surely there are more questions.
Sitgarath
That's what it's like since coming back from the Iraq war. I feel that dude

It's like the inventors that changed our life in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Nobody knows their names
Piornet
Fun fact: that model of the ISS costs $15,000 and sags because of the weight of the solar panels (the real one doesn't bow like that).

I imagine the real one would probably sag like that if you put it on a proportionately large black plastic rod stand.
Piornet
hamberglar
Yeah, but where are we going to get that much plastic? We'd have to melt down Pamela Anderson.
LocustStar
That one probably wouldn't bow either if it was in orbit!

Fat guy is now thinking of pumpkin pie and lord of the rings

Is that your username because you lost a finger or does the last one just not fit? Asking for a friend.

Its a character from a series of books i like. The first law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. He writes sort of gritty grimdark fantasy.

Wait but....isn't that...is that Bilbo from the beginning of the 1st Hobbit movie? Holding the dwarves' contract or w/e? Or am I wrong

Indeed, so the plot sub plot was there a long time before the Lord of the rings series
PunjabiMacgyver
why does he keep picking the same guy from the audience??? that's so rigged.

I hate to be that guy, (who am I kinding, everyone knows that's not true) but that pumpkin isn't impressive when you consider the size of-

Haha I never realized how early that was this subplot was planted

Isn't this The Hobbit though?

78 years would make for a really big pumpkin, is all I'm saying.

Lord of The Rings, the story of a brave hobbit who dares to grow the biggest pumpkin ever and some other guys do some other stuff.

His name is Griffo Gamgee and he grows all kinds of gourds, you drooling troglodyte.

To be fair, everybody knows who Yuri Gagarin is. Slightly less impressive when you're the 536th guy to go to space.
MoonBaseClavius
Indeed. When you work hard to make space travel routine, those are the consequences of it being routine. Sad but true.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
I assure you that most people don't know who Yuri Gagarin is.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
He's the psychic guy who bends spoons, obviously.

Fair enough. *Everybody who isnt a fucking retard or a small child knows who Yuri Gagarin is.

Wow, what a thoroughly stupid thing to say

What, you remember the names of every great person ever? Norman Borlaug, Katherine Johnson, John Vincent Atanasoff. All familiar to you?

I'm impressed that you used the actual number of people who have gone to space and not a random one.

As an Iraq Vet, I prefer it this way. I don't need a pat on the back. Just wish we took better care of those with physical & mental wounds.

LOLZ what? I got a standing ovation at the airport, and then had to walk in a stupid parade in Atlanta.

Fun fact: A lot of LOTR was influenced by Tolkien's own service in WWI. The experience of the hobbits intentionally mirrors returning vets.

Altered Carbon reference? If so, you need to get your head out of the clouds.
WoeToHice
I don't remember that from the book. Is it in the show? I haven't had the willpower to suffer through all of the episodes yet...
Sassmachine
I haven't read the book in years. From what I remember, I like the show more. The book felt kind of flat and uninteresting to me.
WoeToHice
Different tastes. I liked the book a lot more, because it explores the effects of DHF on society, whereas the show focuses on flashy action.
Sassmachine
I think my problem with that was the book came out in 2002. Felt ten or fifteen years too late for sci-fi literature.

Everyone knows you have to been an engineer, inventor, or an astrophysicist to get that celebrity status.
HandsomeSwede
Like, post stuff about their personal life? Encourage idol worship? I don't think that's what science merits.

i see tyson and nye mentioned. but also sean carroll, brian greene, brian cox, lawrence krauss, etc. or only i think they are cool?

By, say, putting them on television and asking them questions?

I don't think they'd like that. But this would thrive different people for science careers

Then was did you capitalize "in"? Siri knows when sentences begin and end. Or are you conveniently not using it now?
