Dr. Gilford is the most witty guest you guys have had on the show. Great chemistry with Chuck and such a good science communicator. Please invite her back.
agreed, super fun and interesting topics with comedy sprinkled in like a well seasoned meal. Just adds depth and flavor to what is great on its own, but gets brought to another level when you add the comedy.
Gary was on *point* in this episode. He brought the right questions and the right energy to the perfect kinds of questions to ask this particular person to get the most out of their specific circumstances.
All around AMAZING episode. I could listen to Dr. Gifford and Chuck go back and forth for hours! Dr. Gifford seems like the smartest person walking this earth lol. A+'s for everyone involved in this edition of star talk! Thank you!
What a fantastic slate of guests. Dr. Gifford was absolutely a perfect foil for Lord Nice and Dr. Tyson. I think Gary was the serious one in this Star Talk episode. Thank you all for a great evening.
Dr. Sheyna Gifford is such a wonderful guest, glad to have her back on StarTalk. She's got the smarts, she's got the comedy chops, and she's got a very passionate and enthusiastic way of talking that makes her an absolute delight.
Dr. Gifford has the amazing gift of intelligence and wit that isn't tainted by condescension or snobbery. And her passion for this topic...wow. I could listen to her for hours.
I love the way she said space needs everybody even if your not actually going to space! Very interesting to learn that there is fields in studying everything about space and the human body. Another great guest for startalk🙌🏽
This is probably one of the best episodes of Startalk! A great mash up of an astrophysicist, comedian, sports commentator, football player, astronaut! So many perspectives on the physical, spiritual, and experiences of space travel and humanity in general all in one episode!!! BRAVO!!!! And encore, please!!!! 💋🤌 Thank you for this!!!
Dr Gifford should be a guest as often as possible. Her intelligence and personality create a fantastic charisma. I also love her banter with Lord Nice. Loved this episode. Yall keep it up!! ✌️🙏
What a terrific show Neil & Guests! Watching this video I learned more about space & it's effects on the human body than I ever knew! Well done & thanks to Leland & Sheyna for educating us on what it's really like being in space! As Neil always says "Keep Looking Up"! 👍👍😉😉👏👏
Glad you had Leland Melvin on the show, first heard of him and his journey watching the One Strange Rock series. It's also quite fascinating how physiologically tethered we are to the Earth, makes me wonder how humans would evolve over multiple generations in space
I'm sure this has been said many times before, but that is my favourite part of The Expanse book series. It imagines how humans born and raised in space would diverge from humans born on Earth and how those adaptations both helped and hindered them. I wish more sci-fi shows would explore this (although I recognise it's really expensive to CGI for the screen).
This is the best podcast of all time. Where else can you increase your knowledge of all things science and laugh so much at the same time. Neil and Chuck are the best. Great Job!!! 👍😊👏
Hello Dr. Tyson! Just writing this up to say thanks for being an influence all these years. Been a huge fan and this year I’ve started my journey through college. Pursuing a degree in Physics! Strongly leaning towards Astrophysics. So thanks for being such a good influence in helping me see what I’ve wanted to do.
Kudos to the way she corrected Neil on his "University of Washington" fopaux. Washington University is in St. Louis - Missouri - home of the Gateway arch - center of the country - NOT in the STATE of Washington.
Nice show love it!! Mister Tyson I have a question for you: Based on Newton’s third law of motions, why isn’t a black hole moving given that it is ejecting matter at such tremendous speeds, what is keeping the black hole from moving?
What happens to the sweat that’s given off when you exercise in space? Is there suction in the workout area that catches it? Or does it just float off everywhere? Especially from the skin areas not covered by clothes to trap it
I heard in an interview with Scott Kelly that the I.S.S. is designed to absorb any moisture that is present in it's air, to maximize how much water they can recycle. So if any sweat floats aways, it will be filtered and reused on the space station. Plus, I'm pretty sure they also just use towels if they happen to be sweating too much.
This was fascinating and her sense of humour is awesome lol. How on earth was lunar gravity, etc simulated? The last question brings Heinlein's Robot series to mind where spacers and planetsiders became separate offshoots of humanity.
Space is hard. Here we are, stuck at the bottom of a gravitational well. We have to do work to get enough kinetic energy to get even partway up out of that well to get to LEO. Costs a lot of money.
One person who was rigorously physically conditioned using cutting edge techniques and educated by experts for years was sent in an aluminum can on top of an explosion of hundreds of tons of fuel accurately being guided 60 miles in 10 minutes into a radioactive, freezing, searing, blinding, vacuum and returned alive. This is amazing considering a f22 jet costs over $120 million, so we could fly a whole NFL team for the cost of one.
I still think a tension suit with magnetic footwear and a railing is a superior idea. It would allow astronauts to more effectively use their time in space by continually simulating resistance to their muscles, as they would feel on earth throughout the day, reducing the amount of time they would need to "work out".
15:14 This sounds reminiscent of living on a boat and then walking around and feeling as though the world around is moving, which causes a loss of balance. I forget what it's called but it's definitely a.. "trip" 😁🤞
That wouldn't work. You don't actually work out if your legs are glued to the floor. (your body is not weighing on your legs ...) The only thing that could work according to our current knowledge is a spinning station.
Sounds like going to space and back is akinded to going out on the ocean on a small boat. Takes a couple of days to get your "sea legs" and then when you get back on land, you can actually get "land sick".
I think even Chuck and Neil (and I) would enjoy 7 minutes in space. But what they were saying (and I was thinking) was not for a year on the ISS. Would Shatner do a year on the ISS? I doubt it. And Shatner IS a sentimental man.
I am a science fiction fan and writer and Believe that we will split to those that are earth bound and those that are spacers. Read Heinlein story, Caves of Steel
I really enjoyed these 2 guests - super interesting. This was one of those episodes where I just wanted the guests to talk about their fascinating subject matter. I thought that the comedian was a little too intrusive and as a result distracted from the subject matter which left me a little frustrated…

The bathroom thing for guys. When they get back do they go for the Hover vaccum? 😆 I'm in the 50+ getting up a couple times at night. I ask can I wait or get up NOW No fun. Love your shows, humor ❤️
If I am one of the disabled people that she is looking for, how do I connect with her? Because, I am the luckiest, smartest, and happiest person who ever experienced TBI.
Wait a second, so the space station has 90% of earth's gravity, but astronauts still have this insane amount of muscle and bone changes? 10% makes that much of a difference?
Because gravity is the centripetal acceleration keeping the station in orbit. A falling plane also has most of earth's gravity yet you are still "floating" inside of it. It isn't gravity keeping your bones "busy", but your weight.
@@W1ngSMC nice, I figured it was something akin to that. The fact that your bones are having to actively support your weight since sitting/standing etc is constantly applying stress to them
Compared to sea-level (r =6371000 m from the center of earth), the gravity at the altitude of the ISS (420 km or r=6791000 m) is 88% compared due to the inverse r squared in Fg = G*M1*M2 / r squared: 6371000 squared / 6791000 squared = 0,88. However, the ISS is orbiting the earth at a speed at which the centripetal force is exactly the same as the force of gravity, causing zero g or micro gravity. To calculate this speed: Fg = (G * mass earth * mass iss) / (r squared) Fc = (mass iss * (v squared)) / r If you set Fg = Fc, you can derive the speed at which the ISS must travel: v = square root (G * Mass earth / r) (as you can see, the mass of the ISS has no impact on the orbital speed) Plug in the numbers: square root of ( (6.67×10^−11 * 5.98×10^24) / 6791000) = 7663 m/s or 27586 km/h (17141 mph).
The concept of having to leave earth because we; A. trashed it B. failed to protect it from an incoming object. C.We nuked it to ruin. D. We over heated it.....I think the Galaxy would say " Uhmmm,no....you don't get to ruin one and expect to get another." We think this planet is ours to do with whatever we want,...and it isn't. And we're going to find that out, probably the hard way.
What if the MetaVerse creates a real time VR Experience with a satellite that traveled the Universe because none of us are going to live long enough to get most places in space and back. Humans only live maybe 70-80 yrs. So in the MetaVerse it could go on for hundreds of years with multiple people researching and experiencing real time space in a different part of the universe.
Chuck might be more useful than sitting in a cushy chair and drinking coffee. I bet Dr. Gifford knows that laughter is the best medicine - Chuck may be telling jokes to astronauts someday to help them focus more on the silliness of their situation instead of the seriousness. They do already like to play with zero gravity effects when they have the chance.
What's the first thing you would do in microgravity?
Draw my planet to see how good art is in space...
I'd pass something that would be heavy (in 1g) to someone and see them panic before catching it and realizing it's super light now Haha
Pour the coffee a bunch of times
Vomit
@@photic9855 not so, it still has the same MASS and inertia and would crush you if you got between it and a hard place!!
Dr. Gilford is the most witty guest you guys have had on the show. Great chemistry with Chuck and such a good science communicator. Please invite her back.
Agreed, amazing guest
Gifford*
@@sunsunsunh thx, didn't notice the typo
We'd love to have her back!
Yep, she should be hosting/co hosting her own show.
i cant survive one day without listening to your podcast. and chuck is an outstanding comedian. science and comedy is a great combination

also Sheyna is such an incredible person!
he's like the class clown

We love hearing that you learned something! :)
thanks for keeping it real & educating daily 🙌
Thank you for learning with us!
I met Leland Melvin at my local Barnes & Noble in 2017. Bought a copy of his book Chasing Space. Got his autograph and even my picture taken with him.
Dr. Sheyna Gifford is a force of nature. It'd be fantastic to have her back on the show in a not too distant future.
Glad you had Leland Melvin on the show, first heard of him and his journey watching the One Strange Rock series. It's also quite fascinating how physiologically tethered we are to the Earth, makes me wonder how humans would evolve over multiple generations in space
I'm sure this has been said many times before, but that is my favourite part of The Expanse book series. It imagines how humans born and raised in space would diverge from humans born on Earth and how those adaptations both helped and hindered them.

What an outstanding and inspiring episode. Thank you all
Please have Dr.Gifford back again she was fascinating!
I loved all and each one of Gary's questions!!!!!!!!!! oh, and Dr. Tyson was a nice co-host on this one! :P

"fopaux" _[sic]_ Oh the irony! 🤣
Many props to the Space Doc. Such high charisma and an amazing smile. Thank you!
At all that bad time and situations whats going on in eastern Europe ... you guys keeping me leafing and learning something !!! Thanks !!
I'll say this I've been following your channel and I'm glad that I was introduced to it.. a lot of information much needed
such an awesome and insightfull episode!
Love your vids!!
Chuck and Dr Gifford walk into a space bar...... I'd love to be there. ♥
This was fantastic! Thank you,
Great episode
Nice show love it!!
Mister Tyson I have a question for you: Based on Newton’s third law of motions, why isn’t a black hole moving given that it is ejecting matter at such tremendous speeds, what is keeping the black hole from moving?
Love the content neil. Keep doing what you are doing 👍
Vestibular retraining is incredible to hear about, never knew about it but it makes sense! How awesome xox
What happens to the sweat that’s given off when you exercise in space? Is there suction in the workout area that catches it? Or does it just float off everywhere? Especially from the skin areas not covered by clothes to trap it
I heard in an interview with Scott Kelly that the I.S.S. is designed to absorb any moisture that is present in it's air, to maximize how much water they can recycle. So if any sweat floats aways, it will be filtered and reused on the space station.

The funniest thing about Sports Edition is always that Gary O'Reilly always has to be the serious one while Neil is joking around.
good way to start my weekend! great talk...always got me laughing and learning:)
I wish i could study more about space for human advance i will go to space missions for years!
This was awesome, keep the British guy. Best episode ever!
Ohh... how I love dr.Sheyna ❤️
Yeee yahhh!!! ✨💫🌟 great way to start the afternoon
Love you guys!
Chucks armrest joke got me good.
Bring sheyna dr for another episode full on her expertise
This was fascinating and her sense of humour is awesome lol.
How on earth was lunar gravity, etc simulated?
The last question brings Heinlein's Robot series to mind where spacers and planetsiders became separate offshoots of humanity.
Good one 👍
Crazy it cost 2,200,000 to send one person to space. We really need to fix this cost issue.
Space is hard. Here we are, stuck at the bottom of a gravitational well. We have to do work to get enough kinetic energy to get even partway up out of that well to get to LEO. Costs a lot of money.
One person who was rigorously physically conditioned using cutting edge techniques and educated by experts for years was sent in an aluminum can on top of an explosion of hundreds of tons of fuel accurately being guided 60 miles in 10 minutes into a radioactive, freezing, searing, blinding, vacuum and returned alive. This is amazing considering a f22 jet costs over $120 million, so we could fly a whole NFL team for the cost of one.
Just wondering about the 2 hours of daily exercise on the station is that all in one go or can it be done in intervals like 15-30 minutes at a time?
i love her snarkiness and knowledgeability. nice combo.
Good show.
Beat you to it Chuck, was already singing Elton when you did. :)

@@TikkyTakMoo strong magnetics up in the iss will probably mess up lots of thing pf there. No good
@@W1ngSMC Hence the tension suit. The magnetic shoes alone wouldn't work.
@@Izz_1321 They wouldn't have to be very strong actually.
Dr Gifford is the best! :D
Would it be possible to do surgery in space?
I wasn't ready for that.
This is educational and funny.
👩🏾🚀🚀⭐️
i saw Neil at the Last Supper last night. now he is acting all Science. 0:40
So do galaxies all lie flat on a plain? Or can they lay diagonal or vertical...etc.?
Is water always the same direction? Can you flip it?
I wonder what perspiration is like in space. Having hyperhidrosis, would I just be covered in a layer of water constantly?
Sounds like going to space and back is akinded to going out on the ocean on a small boat. Takes a couple of days to get your "sea legs" and then when you get back on land, you can actually get "land sick".
I wanna be a space cowboy as well Neil.
Love it
Only Neil can make sports interesting to someone who doesn't care about sports

A lot of behind the scenes that NASA keeps very low key. Most illuminating to realize "handicapped" on Earth may be "hyperacclimated" in space.
