that's cool and all.. but why he keeps getting the same question over and over?

Kind of like coming back from Iraq. It's a weird feeling to realize that the whole world moved on without you.

Is that your username because you lost a finger or does the last one just not fit? Asking for a friend.

Its a character from a series of books i like. The first law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. He writes sort of gritty grimdark fantasy.

I think it is fake. That guy is a filmmaker and edited out the real astronaut, Jack Fischer.

Lord of The Rings, the story of a brave hobbit who dares to grow the biggest pumpkin ever and some other guys do some other stuff.

His name is Griffo Gamgee and he grows all kinds of gourds, you drooling troglodyte.

Wait but....isn't that...is that Bilbo from the beginning of the 1st Hobbit movie? Holding the dwarves' contract or w/e? Or am I wrong
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
Indeed, so the plot sub plot was there a long time before the Lord of the rings series
jsktrogdor
To be fair, everybody knows who Yuri Gagarin is. Slightly less impressive when you're the 536th guy to go to space.
MoonBaseClavius
Indeed. When you work hard to make space travel routine, those are the consequences of it being routine. Sad but true.

I'm impressed that you used the actual number of people who have gone to space and not a random one.

Fun fact: that model of the ISS costs $15,000 and sags because of the weight of the solar panels (the real one doesn't bow like that).
LocustStar
That one probably wouldn't bow either if it was in orbit!

I imagine the real one would probably sag like that if you put it on a proportionately large black plastic rod stand.
Piornet

Yeah, but where are we going to get that much plastic? We'd have to melt down Pamela Anderson.
silentwolf1999
In the hobbits defense. In the movie, The Shire knew almost nothing of the outside world and didnt really care.
WiserDucksLivesLonger
So... like most people on earth?
iHveNoCleverName
Um actually they were invaded by a depowered white robed guy and his lackey along with a gang of hobits

In the books yes, but movie no.

As an Iraq Vet, I prefer it this way. I don't need a pat on the back. Just wish we took better care of those with physical & mental wounds.

Has to be nightmarish for veterans. Thank you for your service. 2/2
TheJazzGhost
Fun fact: A lot of LOTR was influenced by Tolkien's own service in WWI. The experience of the hobbits intentionally mirrors returning vets.

Altered Carbon reference? If so, you need to get your head out of the clouds.

WoeToHice
I don't remember that from the book. Is it in the show? I haven't had the willpower to suffer through all of the episodes yet...
Sassmachine
I haven't read the book in years. From what I remember, I like the show more. The book felt kind of flat and uninteresting to me.
WoeToHice
Different tastes. I liked the book a lot more, because it explores the effects of DHF on society, whereas the show focuses on flashy action.
Sassmachine
I think my problem with that was the book came out in 2002. Felt ten or fifteen years too late for sci-fi literature.

Everyone knows you have to been an engineer, inventor, or an astrophysicist to get that celebrity status.
