Columbia Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 [watches SRBs separate from Space Shuttle]"OMG, it shoots MISSILES?!?!"Another reaction I have heard:"Uh, is it supposed to to do that? Is it exploding? Are the astronauts okay?"Although the latter would probably have been my reaction if I had never seen SRB separation before.*screams internallyThe majority of people I know don't know who the first man in space is - They mostly answer "Neil Armstrong". Another would be that most of them think that Apollo 11 was the name of the rocket and the mission.

imaspacestation Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 One of my classmates said humans aren't animals.A long time ago in a high school I wish I could forget, I got laughed at by the whole class when I said that humans were animals. The teacher joined in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddess Bhavani Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 A long time ago in a high school I wish I could forget, I got laughed at by the whole class when I said that humans were animals. The teacher joined in.This is interesting as my secondary school biology teacher said the exact opposite; and ditto for the other science teachers I had in the past. Human beings are definitely 'tool using animals' albeit of a higher evolved state of intelligence and the dominant species on the planet.Could it be the term "animal" be linked to other hidden meanings, meaning uncivilized or underdeveloped?

Findthepin1 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Arguably one of the most ridiculous things I've heard is that acne and the collapse of gingerbread houses were caused by global warming, and that nobody went to the Moon in the Apollo missions.

imaspacestation Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I can't help but wonder about the difference in time and location of the two experiences.That could very well be an important context - like I said, it was a long time ago, and it happened in a developing country. Still surprising, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Agent Sigvan Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 "If we have the whole Earth to explore, why go to space?"Sad. Just sad.I am perfectly fine with this logic, we barely know enough about our planet let alone others.One problem at a time, space isn't going anywhere.

G'th Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Pretty much anything to do with the Moon landings.Like, I usually like to make a joke in reference to Futurama where Nixon's Head goes "The thing they never expected as that we really DID fake the moon landings....ON VENUS!@#!!!" and then I get all kinds of nonsense in response instead of the chuckle I was looking for.

Hcube Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Youtube comments section is full of treasures...comment found in an ESA video :"ESA, NASA and all the other space agencies are liars and they made everything up. It is not possible to send anything because rocket engines don't work in a vacuum."-->so i told him that rocket engines actually worked better in a vacuum than in atmosphere, and asked him where he learnt this ridiculous stuff about rocket engines :"It is impossible that they work in vacuum because the gas expelled has no atmosphere to push on. It's the gas that pushes on the air and then pushes the rocket forward. Trust me i know it."--->MEGAFACEPALMNot only he is wrong but he is convinced that he is right !

Megan Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) People shouldn't be allowed to argue against "global warming."Also, the Church is evil, because, y'know, suppression of inquiry. And we're the party of tolerance and science. Now shut up."Why do they need a hundred? Wouldn't one be enough?"- Albert Einstein, on the N---- 100 Against EinsteinBut, y'know, consensus of everyone who agrees. SHUT UP!

Robotengineer Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 People shouldn't be allowed to argue against "global warming."When an overwhelming majority of scientists agree that Climate Change is happening, it is kind of a moot point. Same thing with Evolution, or Environmental Standards, or Water Fluoridation."The Pope shouldn't be involved in debating Climate Change because he is not a scientist." (Paraphrasing) The Pope is a chemist, which, IIRC, is still a branch of the sciences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 People. Shouldn't. Be. Allowed.Reddit blocks off subs. Newspapers say, no longer accepting comments. Your point of view no longer exists.Y'know what happens -what's always happened - when engineers decide they should be social engineers too?Trofim Lysenko knew he was right. Julius Streicher knew he was right too. Overwhelming majority! So crush the minority. Evil, nasty, stupid, ignorant, worthless peasants! not our kind.What's next? - oh, it couldn't happen here.And then we have memorials. Because, goodness knows, this was unpredictable.
