... you realize that on the moon, it's ALWAYS "full moon" up there, unless it's in the earth's shadow (lunar eclipse)
Just because the moon is in a certain phase from the earth's point of view, does not mean that a certain side of the moon is not completely illuminated.
Also, you're of the opinion (since you brought it up), that the moon landings were faked? All of them? USA and Russia?
You're also saying that the opinion of the astronaut cited in the article (who actually HAS been to space and done spacewalks in and around the space shuttle) regarding the scientific validity of the events in the movie Gravity is a publicity hound and a pop scientist? Show your math, because none of this adds up.
I'm not looking for an argument, I'm genuinely interested in how you got from Point A (someone interviewing an astronaut - as in, they called HIM, not the other way around), to Point B (claiming he is seeking attention). Same goes for Tyson, as the article referencing him was not an interview, but rather a recap of what he posted to his own Twitter feed.
Netiher was bashing the film, but rather pointing out technical inaccuracies (whether or not that matters in the greater scheme of things in regards to the dramatic presentation of the film is moot for this discussion). I'm curious as to why your reaction was so strong to something you clearly did not read.

I was unaware this was intended to be a documentary. {nm} Oct 07, 14:47
Do you believe a movie can transform our world? {nm} Oct 07, 14:50
for some reason I saw "a physicist and an astronaut walk into a bar" :) {nm} Oct 07, 15:03
at least Buzz Aldrin liked it... Oct 07, 15:05
Degrasse-Tyson also liked it (quite a bit). He just pointed out where the science wasn't perfect. {nm} Oct 07, 15:22
Scientific opinions of these "pop scientists" aren't worth the paper their degrees are printed on. {nm} Oct 07, 15:55

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

Um, there's always one side of the Moon that faces Earth. Depending on the phase, it's either lit or not. Oct 07, 22:39
No. Oct 08, 10:19
I'll take scientists with PHDs, even "pop" ones, over anonymous internet person anyday. {nm} Oct 08, 09:54
Sure, thinking is over-rated. Listen to people who have letters after their names, they're smarter than you. Oct 08, 21:43
You have revealed volumes about yourself with these statements, and probably not in the direction or manner you intended. Oct 08, 22:25
Did Bill Nye say anything? -kidding. {nm} Oct 07, 16:35
Like we need them to tell me the movie looked AMAZING but the script was RIDICULOUS? lol (nm) Oct 08, 16:35
