Most of what Neil DeGrasse Tyson says is wrong? Lol.
Okay, random guy on the internet who knows more than a Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton educated astrophysicist.Yep, but a topic for another time and thread.
Top Gun rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A NASA astronaut has already stepped in to correct Tyson. And Tyson got Pluto kicked out, so no love for him.Most of what Neil DeGrasse Tyson says is wrong? Lol.
Wrong about one thing does not equal wrong about most things.A NASA astronaut has already stepped in to correct Tyson. And Tyson got Pluto kicked out, so no love for him.
He was wrong 8 times and apologized for those.Wrong about one thing does not equal wrong about most things.
A former Tomcat RIO (Ward Carroll) did a video talking about what Neil said and 2 things were brought up by him and people in the comments that would explain how Maverick survived his ejection.
One was that the plane would have been decelerating by the time Maverick ejected, so it was no longer flying Mach 10. So by the time Maverick ejected the plane could have been down to a more survival speed. An SF-71 pilot is said to have ejected and survived at Mach 3+. And there's the thinner air at the altitude he was flying to consider as well as the fact that he was probably wearing a full pressure suit designed to stay pressurized in the case of an ejection.
The other point brought was that it was possible for the SR-72 to have an ejection module like the F-111 and B-1, instead of just an ejection seat. This would have made his survival very possible and quite survivable.
I'm thinking there's a logical fallacy in this statement, possibly a non sequitur, ; ) For all we know, " Random Guy " could have a genius IQ, and be a graduate of one of those college's. Don't know either of you, but you never know. For an example of a smart guy, saying something really frackin' dumb, see below.Okay, random guy on the internet who knows more than a Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton educated astrophysicist.

In reference to this statement, John Lennox said,
" What this all goes to show is that nonsense remains nonsense, even when said by world-famous scientists. What serves to obscure the illogicality of such statements is the fact that they are made by scientists; and the general public, not surprisingly, assumes that they are statements of science and takes them on authority. That is why it is important to point out that they are not statements of science, and any statement, whether made by a scientist or not, should be open to logical analysis. Immense prestige and authority does not compensate for faulty logic ".

"Neil DeGrasse Tyson is wrong about most things".
But my reply is the logical fallacy?
What the hell is going on here?
