    I agree with the comments about Wallace and Gromit A grand day out, but you can clearly see that they made the outer shell of the craft out of metal.
    Yes, they used wood on the inside, but even the clip of Gromit working on it shows the metal plates.

    I don’t think she actually watched these movies. I think she was just given specific scenes entirely out of context to review. It makes no sense whatsoever to review scenes in that manner. Of course without context all the scenes are entirely outside the realm of reality. Duh.

    Wall-E. The problem isn’t that the satellites wouldn’t be bunched up like that; they would not still be in orbit. Artificial satellites will not be able to maintain orbit for hundreds of years. They will run out of the onboard reactant necessary to maintain their orbit and then their orbit will start to decay as solar winds negatively affect them. Eventually, they will hit the atmosphere and then it is game over.

    I have to admire the courage it would take to blast into space. I remember the first astronauts who went up. I was pretty young then. In later years, I lived in South Florida where they shot a lot of them up into space. I could walk outside my house and see them after take off. Feel them, too! The ground shakes and you can feel the vibrations all the way through your entire body. Intense! Pretty cool.

    Space would be nice to see but I never will. So neat facts but hard to care about something a majority of us will never see. Took us too long.

  32. Vedran Brnjetic

    April 30, 2020 at 7:15 am

    About Wall-E and the bunched up satellites. It’s primarily a reference to the Kessler syndrome (or effect if you prefer), and secondly, Wall-E is a junkyard robot so it’s a slight nod to that as well.

  33. Vedran Brnjetic

    April 30, 2020 at 7:21 am

    In Sunshine. I don’t know how close did they get to the Sun, but wouldn’t they have a much stronger influence of Sun’s gravity?

    • fredener1

      May 1, 2020 at 10:06 pm

      That can be countered by speed – Mercury as example orbits with a speed of 47.362 km/s around the sun (1 rotation is about 88 Days) compared to the 29.78 km/s Earth moves. It just takes more speed to counter the gravity the closer you are to the source of it

    • Vedran Brnjetic

      May 1, 2020 at 10:13 pm

      @fredener1 I meant in terms of the crew appearing to float around ship as in weightless environment.

      Or is the weightlessness a result of constant falling in the orbit?

    • fredener1

      May 2, 2020 at 8:49 am

      @Vedran Brnjetic The weightlessness is the result of the centrifugal force. When there’s a balance between that and gravity they counter each other. Without enough speed satellites, shuttles or the ISS would fall to earth as example. They just need to go fast enough to create a centrifugal force that equals the gravity force of the sun’s orbit they operate in.

    Not enough pauses. Could’ve used more pauses. Too smooth of a viewing experience for me. I prefer pauses over watching the video. Why play at all? I say let’s pause the video and enjoy the beautiful pixels.

  36. John Michael Tomakin

    May 1, 2020 at 12:58 am

    You have to watch the whole movie “contact” so that ull know the reason why she wasnt wearing any rediculous suits…. It was part of the givin instruction.

  37. Loretta Mowell

    May 1, 2020 at 1:34 am

    2:30 Are those orange suits waterproof? In case a rough sea landing cracked open the return craft? If they are waterproof, how long could they breathe for?

    • Judit Baráth

      May 2, 2020 at 7:48 am

      I think if they are good for space they have to be waterproof too.

  38. Jannis Tenbrink

    May 1, 2020 at 6:58 pm

    Wait, wasn’t the clip of 2001 in the episode 16 already? The outro is exactly the same. And that Space Cowboys scene was shown in the first one too

    watch her facial expression as Wallace and grommet are building that spaceship…that kind of determined focus is exactly how you get to be in her position in the Nasa space program.

    When designing anything, especially space, unless it’s a robot you are designing with a disaster in mind, it sounds fatalistic but safety is everything when humans and space exploration is involved.

    OMG how could you show 2001 and NOT show the very next scene where Bowman launches out of the pod and into the airlock without a helmet?? FAIL! That is one of the all-time classic scenes in sci-fi movies that is done right! FAIL FAIL FAIL!

  65. burns0100

    May 12, 2020 at 11:25 am

    I love it when movies aren’t too far off, specially future ones because it really means maybe one day we could reach that level. I won’t be alive considering the speed we are evolving at but it seems we are heading in that direction though for proper space travel.

    Wallace and Gromit didn’t build a wooden rocket. They weld it together, and the moon robot even knocks against it, making a metallic sound at some point during the short. Though I’m still glad she went through with the analysis by giving the scene the benefit of the doubt, I still don’t know who told who that they built a wooden rocket.

    Well in the video with Jodie foster, she technically didn’t leave earth. Her journey took her beyond the realm of the physical.

    She’s clearly charming, intelligent, etc. but the fact that she claps at the end while everyone on set claps for her contribution in this video shows her true character and what a great person she is 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  75. l was wrong about everyhting
