Robot Astronomy Talk Show: Destroyer of Worlds (Ed Wasser, Wil Wheaton)

Sigh, if only the Bots had a Twitter or facebook page. It's to bad it will never happen, though. NASA regulations probably have much MORE important things to do than to talk to "Average Joes."

@2:27 lower center is the Russian ship from 2010: Contact (sequel to 2001; A Space Odyssey). I just happened to have watched that film this morning! lol

(And I LOVE the Eagle (with cargo pod attached) from Moon Base Alpha!)

Love the picture of "the Physician"--wearing newest Doctor's fez, 4th Doctor's scarf, a bit of Colin Baker's horrible orange outfit, David Tennant's 3D glasses, holding a Rose...pretty nice Doctor Who references

Definitely not the Sulaco. Prometheus from SG-1? (@3:31)

[karenswanberg]

Ships I saw: @2:26 The Eagle - upper right Possible NX - upper center Possible Monolith - lower center @2:28 Star Destroyer - far left @3:31 Much better shot of an NX - lower right Something I recognize but can't name, looks kinda like a Battlestar. Sulaco? - upper center @7:01 Whitestar - far right @8:34 Star Destroyer (again) - upper right @9:56 Possible leviathon - Far right I didn't see a firefly. When/where is that?

I loved this! This is WAY better than I expected! Real science AND a good story. Thank you!

an Eagle Transporter, a White Star ship, a NX-class ship, and I think I also see an X-303

@Fetch26291 ...equals four out of seven. Good eye, so far. ;)

[Fetch26291]

@SpitzerScienceCenter So, there are 3 other dead ships in the debris field that aren't shattered beyond recognition? I will have to look more closely.

Oh, and tell Wil to return that TARDIS to 1987 Los Angeles. (Yep. I can see where it's Chameleon Circuit got stuck)
