  • I love this. Watched the whole thing.

  • "The change is not that people aren't still saying under-informed things, the change is that if you're in power and you say something under-informed, there are people people out there with a VOICE who will take you to task for having done so."

  • host was brutal, stick to colbert tyson

  • This man tickles my brain.

  • mind porn

  • This is great, but the audio level is annoying...

  • @guywithface99 The accepted idea is that a large meteor/planet whatchamacallit hit the Earth, and clumps of rock flew into space, which collided together from gravity to form a large satellite of Earth.

  • @guywithface99 One of the hypothesis (the best supported) is that it was once a part of the earth and was somehow separated (most likely a large planet sized object struck earth as it was forming).

  • @manwithouthat44 you are, enjoy your demonic achivement :P

  • how'd the moon get there?

  • neil and brian cox need to get together and do documentaries on astrophysics and particle physics

  • He voice alone makes me listen to this in its entirety.
