Movies

Did you read them? One was an actual astronaut who has been on shuttle missions. Hardly a "pop scientist". Tyson is well-regarded too.

Don't understand where your comment is coming from.

A physicist and an astronaut fact-check GRVTY Antibody Oct 07, 14:00

I was unaware this was intended to be a documentary. {nm} Bubba_Fett Oct 07, 14:47

Do you believe a movie can transform our world? {nm} Richard In G Oct 07, 14:50

for some reason I saw "a physicist and an astronaut walk into a bar" :) {nm} tealfan Oct 07, 15:03

at least Buzz Aldrin liked it... tealfan Oct 07, 15:05

Degrasse-Tyson also liked it (quite a bit). He just pointed out where the science wasn't perfect. {nm} Dales Oct 07, 15:22

Scientific opinions of these "pop scientists" aren't worth the paper their degrees are printed on. {nm} elchan Oct 07, 15:55

He's the one that got Pluto downgraded. These guys are publicity hounds. They don't do real science. elchan Oct 07, 18:08

... you realize that on the moon, it's ALWAYS "full moon" up there, unless it's in the earth's shadow (lunar eclipse) BSmurf Oct 07, 18:20

Um, there's always one side of the Moon that faces Earth. Depending on the phase, it's either lit or not. elchan Oct 07, 22:39

The phase of the moon during the Apollo 11 landing was a waxing crescent heading into first quarter (over a week before full moon) RogerMore Oct 08, 01:01

Yes Apollo 11 landed on 9 days before full moon, so for that one mission it was possible that earthshine was responsible, but not the others {nm} elchan Oct 08, 10:11

No. RogerMore Oct 08, 10:19

I guess I got confused when you brought Kaku into the discussion, as he is not mentioned nor the subject of the articles in the OP. BSmurf Oct 08, 07:19

I'll take scientists with PHDs, even "pop" ones, over anonymous internet person anyday. {nm} Antibody Oct 08, 09:54

Sure, thinking is over-rated. Listen to people who have letters after their names, they're smarter than you. elchan Oct 08, 21:43

You have revealed volumes about yourself with these statements, and probably not in the direction or manner you intended. BSmurf Oct 08, 22:25

Did Bill Nye say anything? -kidding. {nm} socby19 Oct 07, 16:35

Like we need them to tell me the movie looked AMAZING but the script was RIDICULOUS? lol (nm) dominique_d Oct 08, 16:35
