Frankie Boyle pronounces “moon” like he’s talking about Kerbal Space Program.
Lucy Porter is simply lovely 😊
I like Maisie Adam 😊❤
Russell's laugh at the mention of Aslan's Birthday is wonderful.
There's a big giant "citation needed" on the comment about us discovering life on Mars. I think they misunderstood that we've found evidence that at one time Mars might have had an environment that was maybe hospitable to life. Not the same thing at all. We have not found, or brought back, life from Mars as of June 2024.
Look up ALH84001. In 1996 someone claimed it to contained evidence of (past) bacterial life.
Seeing as this episode probably aired around that time period, it is not so strange he claimed life was found..
Or, you know, don't get your news or science reporting from a cancelled comedy show ...
@@rasmusvedel I clearly didn’t, otherwise I would have just accepted what they said. Just doing my small part to help people avoid spreading misinformation.
Apparently my comment is gone, but you can look up ALH84001. In 1996 there was a claim evidence for former bacterial life was found, but the claim was rejected.
Seeing as it was reported in news outlets as if life was found during that period, it is not strange that in an episode around that same period, someone says life was found.
I am not sure if Frankie is simply trolling (I presume if he was, he would say something much more crazy) or he really believes what he's saying.
Yes, NASA can't put a man on the Moon now, because the whole political atmosphere changed.
Back then they poured crapload of money into space program and all the safety margins were tight. The same technology today would not pass any certification...
Everything is more strict + most of the engineers from the Apollo era are no longer with us... and lot of the things in the engines were fine tuned by hand for each specific engine based on the engineers' instincts (i.e. no documentation for those changes...)
SpaceX is pushing for reusability and Mars program; if they wanted to put a man on the Moon they probably would have already with some version of Dragon + upgraded Falcon. But they want to build Starship for the Mars trip, and going to the Moon is not an interesting target for them. Back then it was about prestige against the Soviets.
By the way, even the Soviets acknowledged that the Americans got to the Moon. If there was any doubt, the Soviets would have been the first ones to stir it... That alone is a good enough reason for me to believe it was real even when I was not even born back then
It was also the height of the cold war, so the soviets would have been the first to say "Oh No you didn't" is they hadn't seen them do it.
Granted, my exposure to Frankie outside of MTW is limited, but he doesn't give me the impression that he buys into nonsense like the moon landing being faked.
@@retnavybrat the problem is, he delivers it quite convincingly, and even if he himself would not believe it, there'll be many people who would take this at face value and star believing in some conspiracy theories...
I'll give you a clue. It's a f...... comedy program.

I think it was wrong that Michael Collins didn't get to walk on the moon. It would've been for a few minutes just so that the third man wasn't just an accessory.
He wasn’t “just an accessory”, he performed a vital role in the mission. NASA didn’t have the luxury of sending passengers along for the ride.
@@8964TS He had his role, but it wasn't enough to walk on the moon. That's why when you see the photo of everyone after they got back, Collins isn't smiling.
He’s spoken many times of how incredibly proud he was of his role in the mission and that he got to do something that even fewer men have done: orbit the moon alone. More men have landed on the moon than have been by themselves on the far side of it, completely out of contact with all other human beings on Earth. Besides, more people remember Michael Collins than they do the names of the third man to walk on the moon.
@@8964TS Still, five minutes wasn't too much to ask for.
they needed someone to be manning the part of the mission that was in orbit around the moon. If they hadn't left that part up there with fuel and supplies it would've been too heavy to launch off of the moon
There's got to be a better name for space than 'space'.
_There's this massive space outside earth's atmosphere._
*What shall we call it?*
_Well it's a big space so let's call it, 'Space'._
They should have called it 'Ethel' or 'Mildred'.
😅
Dark Matter
The original name for the planet now called Uranus was ....
George.
If the moon landing was real why hasn't there been another one?? Just asking. 😅😂
There were five 'other' ones
@DoMw94 bloody hell, an educated person in the comments. Thank you.
Because the US govt. was only really obsessed with beating Russia up there. Once we did, and realized "Hey, there's fucking nothing here!" We stopped wasting resources on it.
There were others, as said, and then it became too costly and not needed.
It wasn't really needed in the first place, 'just' a prestige project in the cold war.
What humans can do, robots and other machines can, cheaper and far less risk.
yeesh why are people so obsessed with this era of the show, maybe it was funnier when it was current but this does nothing for me
No one has nailed you to the Screen...I assume ???? So you don't have to watch them😮
you can see why the cancelled this show
setanta chris moyles - so fucking dated
maybe it's dated because this segment originally aired in 2009?
@@Roaxial richard osman said topical shows like this get cancelled because unlike shows like qi there is no rewatch value down the line
nobody wants to watch brexit jokes in 2024
@@joeduffy4104 I don't quite agree, I've been working my way through the show (currently on series 6) and I've been enjoying it
