This is how they treat all children though. He was the same to Georgie really, only that Georgie asked an (lets be fair) unrelated question, he still got the "Stupid kids wasting my time"-reaction.
yeah, honestly yeah a lot of gifted students don't live up to their potential cause of these people tbh i think i used to be a gifted kid but probably not anymore
A real NASA scientist would have said "You know, that would save a lot of money over time. And we've got some folks at NASA looking into ways to make it work. But it's not practical just yet, since the boosters would basically have to land themselves without a human pilot."
Wouldn't landing a rocket be more expensive then letting it controllable crash into the ocean since you would need fuel to land which you would also lift up first so you would need even more fuel and an even bigger rocket. Compare this to a cheap parachute and some cleaning work after. The only real advantage landing would give would be more use time out of the rocket since you don't have to clean and check it every time after use.
@@Apophis40K yes and the second advantage are ecology and ressources that you spare. Both way more irrelevant aspects at the time the scene is playing. The landing technology is not really a technological breakthrough, the circumstances just changed while progress was made and stuff got economical.
It was somewhat rude of that NASA director to shut Sheldon up with a patch. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was, in part, the reason why Sheldon hated engineering, and also why he did not get along with Howard.
@Christopher Bingham well yes he turned out to be the main reason, the professor was not far worse. This guy tried to shut up Sheldon. The professor tried to get Sheldon to figure out his own mistake instead of spoon feeding it to Sheldon
"if you want to save money why dont you land the booster rockets instead of dropping it on the ocean" Sheldon is so ahead of his generation😂 Space X and Blue origin are doing that right now.
Because of similar reason, I used to wake up till 3 am to do the physics problem before my physics lecture shows the solution or talks about it in class.
@@almeme9017 may I ask how is it a waste of time? If he becomes a theoretical physicists not only he might be able to get a sweet revenge, this is also a great career path! So isn't it a win win?
My SIL is Theoretical Physicist. We don’t have much to talk about. Loves science fiction and has built the giant battle cruiser from Star Wars from Lego’s along with many of the other ships. Definitely a nerd just like Leonard.
I can answer that. Disposable rockets are cheaper than reusable ones. To be as light as possible means the disposable rockets are very thin. So thin they have to be full of fuel to hold their own shape. Like a balloon. Making them thicker and stronger would also require them to carry more fuel to lunch that higher weight.
balloon tanks like that are only used by the centaur upper stage and derivatives of the atlas ICBM(except atlas V) because they tend to collapse if the pressure inside the tank drops
Can you not make a container whose inner lining is combustible or whose properties change according to temperatures (internal/ external) and pressure/ altitude? To think of a container as a mere container is daft.
I have a hunch that depiction of future especially the sci-fi stuff shown years ago in movies and then that ultimately gets realized in reality later is a clandestine meeting between the Hollywood producers and scientists with their nascent ideas. Then Hollywood glamourising them on silver screen that which ultimately acts as a surprisingly catalyst for scientist and engineers to give everything and had a go at it and prove it works.
0:38 - 0:52 If all those girls Mr Givens was chasing were over 18, then they wouldn’t be in high school anymore unless they got held back or failed a year and had to restart.
That makes no sense. Figuring out how to land a booster rocket is applied sciences and engineering. It's not something a theoretical physicist would work on.
You realize you have to start initial designs/plans with physics right? You also realize he’s not a theoretical physicist yet in this show? Sheldon is even told that “we don’t have the budget or technology to make this happen yet” meaning Sheldon just applied assumptions when planning out his design for the booster rocket. You have no idea how initial design works kid, sit down
What does this have to do with Theoretical Physics? He was thinking about Astronomical Physics, Nuclear and Quantum is where Theoretical is used in the field. Not Rocketry.
@@Iamrightyouarewrong He just looks down on it because to him these people are just digging in the dirt and holding it under a microscope while he tries to answer the fundamental questions of the universe.
so it's definitely not at all impossible to land the boosters right? like even if you can't do the whole space x thing where you boost them back down you could just attach parachutes to stop them being completely destroyed when they land. though I guess when they were doing most of their tests they hadn't quite figured out parachutes either.
According to another comment, it’s much cheaper to make them disposable rather than reusable. Making them thick enough that they don’t crumple on landing makes them heavier, so you’d have to make them even bigger to carry enough fuel to handle their own weight. I haven’t done the math, but I wouldn’t be surprised if disposable boosters are a tenth the price in materials and fuel.
The boosters were being built so thinly that they could not withstand a parachute landing without major damage. Getting to the Moon was at the edge of what was possible, and every kjilogram saved in booster weight mean more weight that could get into Lunar transfer trajectory. Engineers and scientists at that time would have loved to have reusable spacecraft, but they couldn't build dreams, they had to build what was possible. Booster landings only became possible after computer guidance systems became a lot more capable than was possible back then. In addition to computer power, we have 60 years of experience in how to build rockets than they had back then. It means that rocket technology is a lot more sophisticated than back then, and we can do things now that they simply could not do.

My niece was gifted but didn't like going to school. They finally got her to go back and on the first day the Honors English teacher said something so obviously ungrammatical that my niece left and never went back. She got her GED instead
Vertical Landing Rockets started development in the 1950s. One of the early one's showed up in a 007 movie! (yes that one got its contract canned because it was fuel inefficient, but it existed) Yet another program started in 1985 and testing began in 1993. NASA was well aware of it and brought it in and further tested it in 1995. NASA engineers/scientists would have been WELL aware of it in 1989 (when this show takes place?)
I used to teach high school. I cringed often at other teachers who tried to be cool and thought kids only cared about sex and bad jokes. They never realized that the kids thought they were foolish.
"It's not technically possible" No idiot, it's perfectly technically possible. It wasn't realistically possible with the computational power of the day. \
Proving the nincompoop wrong would involve engineering, not theoretical physics. And Sheldon is disdainful to engineers. Sorry writers, missed the target this time.
Imagine if he went into finance, he could have stopped 2008. But I guess for him it was just not that interesting. I think it's partially because he never got the misconceptions regarding "suddenly trying to enter a world" like he does with the Einstein and the solid food things....If he did maybe he would care about money and he wouldn't have had to live and work where he did which sad, but
I swear that Sheldon took up theoretical physics because a kid slammed a book over Sheldon's head and it turned out to be a theoretical physics book which hooked Sheldon's interest. At least according to the Big Bang Theory.
Sheldon - if you want to save money why don't you land the booster rockets instead of letting them drop in the ocean? Elon musk- i want this child in spaceX at any cost.
Actually the only reason space x can land a rocket is because telemetry, data link, sensors, actuators, and complex software and computers that were not available until a little more than a decade ago. And btw that is an engineering problem, not a science problem. Football player, hu?
So he basically took that career to prove he was right basically. Damn dedication of my man Sheldon.
i gotta give sheldon cooper for that, tbh.
Jesus is not God, he never said this in the Bible.
The irony is that it was experimental physicists that proved his theory and got him the Nobel Prize.
Bigger irony is that that those experimental physicists did not even know a single thing about his theory and they did it as an accident.
That's their job LOL.
@@vanerwin504 yeah but Sheldon looked down on them and if it wasn't for them he doesn't win the Nobel.
@@OHCAM5 he could’ve carried out the experiment himself
@@marshian__mallow2624 Not really. He doesn't do experiments at all. He is all theories.
So Sheldon's entire career path was based on a grudge?!
Look at how much he holds a grudge for not winning a bookmark in Sunday School even though he won the Noble Prize.
@@cityhawk Good point.
He held a grudge against Will Wheaton for years all because of a misunderstanding.
I get it. I’m a finance major because I was picked on by rich assholes in middle school. It made me want money. More than their parents.

I just thought he didn’t know any better so just went “😬” when Sheldon said he’d help the NASA guy with the math of it
So we’re not gonna talk about how adorable Georgie Used to be 🥺🥺

@Christopher Bingham
What you said is the primary reason, and I agree.
However. I am sure you would agree that there can be more than ONE reason.
@Christopher Bingham well yes he turned out to be the main reason, the professor was not far worse. This guy tried to shut up Sheldon. The professor tried to get Sheldon to figure out his own mistake instead of spoon feeding it to Sheldon
@Christopher Bingham I agree
yeah well he's just a dumb kid
hence the title
For being so logical, Sheldon sure is emotional.
Is this why he hates the career of Howard's.
No, he hates it, because Sheldon is a disrespectful brat who wasn't taught on how to treat others
@@santiagocarreno5881 the way you phrase that makes it sound like nobody "tried" to teach him.
It's because Howard doesn't have a Ph.D.
Nah it’s because of the professor
We learned why in the most recent episode.
"if you want to save money why dont you land the booster rockets instead of dropping it on the ocean" Sheldon is so ahead of his generation😂 Space X and Blue origin are doing that right now.
yep its possiable to do it now
Actually in the show Elon took Sheldon's notes and worked off of them to work on the landing rockets. He literally made a cameo.
I mean I'm sure the idea has been around as long as rockets have been around. The genius is in figuring out how to do it.
Elon musk made a cameo in that episode too
Okay let's all remember this shows not real, there is no real Sheldon guys
They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
I wonder if Howard was able to change his opinion on astronauts?
He doesn't hate astronauts just engineers
The way he was seeing the teacher in end 😂🤣
Because of similar reason, I used to wake up till 3 am to do the physics problem before my physics lecture shows the solution or talks about it in class.
Imagine dedicating your life to something just to prove someone wrong 😂
I see it as a waste of time but nothing would be better than the taste of revenge
Revenge can be quite the motivator
