YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Spoiler Alert: Did George Clooney really have sacrifice himself to save Sandra Bullock in the Academy Award nominated movie "Gravity"? Not according to guest host and 2-time Space Shuttle astronaut "Astro Mike" Massimino, who tells co-host Chuck Nice what he would have done differently, and why. In addition to discussing the "two-body problem" of tethered astronauts in space, Mike explains how an experienced astronaut would "go down swinging" rather than just giving up -- no matter what Hollywood thinks.
