This episode is still very fresh /relevant to hear. Enjoying it even though 7 years old.

I love the way she says David Mitchell.

I find the use of “Beers, Steers, and Queers” by The Revolting Cocks as the intro music amusing.

I like the idea of people going to Mars, as I am far too young for the excitement of the moon landings, anything to make science interesting to the general population again

Oddly enough, the excitement was quickly over after the first moonlanding. People were more and longer interested in cheap rubbish like big brother ( that travesty of a tv program) than they were in space travel.

*cough* rocket science... velocity not to escape earth atmosphere, its velocity to escape its gravity pull. First and second cosmic velocities.

Isn't "meat on a skewer" just another way of saying "kebab" ? And "they never imagine the aliens might be liquid"... someone needs to read Solaris.

@acasfs001 4 жыл бұрын

No, the chunks of meat cooked are much smaller than in kebabs, cooked over hot coals, normally between the meat there is also peppers and it comes to your plate still in the actual skewer

I mean, there are video game olympics already and the "athletes" there make more money from the event itself that olympians do, well, olympians go on cereal boxes and such later, but there's nice prize pools in the game world. Leave all that corrupt bullshit out of it. If they hold a gaming series in Qatar, it's because the players are being offered tons of money to be there (I know I just brought FIFA into it, but whatever).

In space is the only chance for our species to survive long term, so we have to learn space travel. It's the *only* chance. So, all this talk about problems in space exploration leaves no alternative. It's like saying "space exploration is hard, so it's stupid, let's just die out here, like reasonable people."

"Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence" words of wisdom from my favourite fictional human doctor :)

@squirrelfishfrog 10 жыл бұрын

blindio10 that line was delivered flawlessly, i liked it too. But needless to say, they were being transported to a space ship in that scene.... so i would much rather complain about space _after_ some of us have got advanced space travel than before that point in time.

The received opinion is that space exploration is great and useful, so *of course* the panel were obliged to argue the opposite. That's how the show works.

@squirrelfishfrog 10 жыл бұрын

you mean because of the title..."heresy"? (maybe i haven't seen enough of the show to notice a trend) I would hope that everyone involved feels much more committed to objectivity than to a concept or title. Wouldn't David or Victoria refuse to express an opinion that is not their own?

I think I might be growing some OCD. it really bothered me that announcer said it was the first show in the new series when the title says Episode 2.

eatign horse meat is much less of a taboo elsewhere than in the UK. So it's not really heretic elsewhere. still nice to be told.

I'm genuinely tired of space exploration as it's being done. We aren't any closer to actually escaping the solar system, or learning much new. We're spending billions of dollars mostly on confirming already established things that don't seriously matter anyway, and I think that money could be better spent here on Earth on researching ways to explore better.

@RuudJH 9 жыл бұрын

As long as ordinary people who are laying waste to planet Earth don't care about what they do, visionary people with a sense of adventure or common sense will have to go and explore, perhaps with chances to save it, or to just escape from it's overpopulation.

Escaping the solar system? We don't even have a base on the Moon. We haven't even landed a human on Mars. We don't even have an orbital assembly plant. It would literally take _years_ for a human to leave the Solar system, even if we had all the equipment. And then it would take centuries to each any other star. So what would be the point of "leaving the solar system", exactly? And could you please give us a list of those "already established things" that "we" are spending "billions" on? NASA's budget is barely enough to pay for trips to the ISS (less than 0.5% of the federal budget), while over 50% of US tax revenue is spent on the military.

Exploration from the atomic scale to the galactic scale teaches us about our existence in so many ways. People are really inefficient tools in space which is why we seem to be moving away from putting people in space. Lastly you really don't know what you're talking about if you think all we do is confirm what we already knew. Every day of every week an assumption or "model" of how things came to be or are is shattered. The truth is we confirm fuck all we just shatter our previous assumptions and develop new ones to incorporate data. If you wan't to fix our problems here look at wealth inequality not scientific exploration.

When the changed the rules to make it impossible for people like Eddie the Eagle to even compete in the Olympics I gave up watching the Winter Games. Fuck 'em.
