YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this Cosmic Queries Science Fiction Lightning Round, Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson answers fan questions as quickly as comic co-host Eugene Mirman can ask them: "Would you die if you opened an airlock in space like Ripley did in Alien and Aliens?" "Can we build robots that would follow Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics?" Can we make a radio out of coconuts like the Professor did on Gilligan's Island?" "What are the physics limitations to the power sources in Iron Man?" Plus, questions about alcohol-fueled robots on Futurama, humanity's fat, bloated future in WALL-E and the viability of Dune's personal energy shields.
