Astronaut Chris Hadfield Says 'Gravity' Got Sandra Bullock's Underwear Wrong, But That's Okay

gravity got sandra bullock's underwear wrong

Astronaut Chris Hadfield dropped by "Conan" where he talked about the hit film "Gravity," starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. As one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year, Conan O'Brien wanted to get a genuine astronaut's take on the movie's depictions of space. And while Hadfield said that visually "Gravity" was the most realistic and stunning take on spacewalks yet seen, there was one scene he had to take issue with.
O'Brien pointed out a scene where Sandra Bullock's character takes off her spacesuit and is floating around in black underwear and a tank top. It turns out this wasn't even close to the truth. "Inside our space suits, we're wearing like a Halloween costume which is a liquid cooling garment," Hadfield explained. "We're wearing ... big boy kind of Pull-Up diapers underneath. And you come out; you've been sweating in there for eight hours. Your hair looks like rat fur."
"We do not look like an underwear model when we come out," Hadfield concluded. But we're going to agree with O'Brien that Hollywood made the right call. Some poetic license is to be expected in the movies, and in some cases, even preferred.
"Conan" airs weeknights at 11 p.m. EST on TBS.

6 Surprising Things That Affect Your Brain

Image
Brain scientists in recent years have discovered a number of surprising ways that the brain influences our overall health, as well as how our behavior influences the health of our brain. And unlike in the days of old — when scientists believed the brain was “fixed” after childhood, only to start an inexorable decline in the middle to later years — today, research is showing that the brain is perfectly capable of changing, healing and “rewiring” itself to an unexpected degree. It turns out that the age of your brain may be a lesser influence on its structure than what you do with it. Pursuits that require intense mental focus, like language learning, “switch on” the nucleus basalis, the control mechanism for neuroplasticity. In short, neuroplasticity means you have some control over your cranial fitness. While brain function naturally deteriorates somewhat as you age (though not nearly as muc

Global warming computer models collapse; Arctic ice sheets rapidly expand as planet plunges into global cooling

Image
(NaturalNews) For years, we've all heard that global warming is threatening our planet. But now, in a stunning turnaround, world scientists are warning that an era of global cooling seems to be upon us, complete with extraordinary expansions of ocean ice being recorded in just the past year. Even the latest UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report seems to indicate that an era of global cooling is now underway, according to many scientists. It turns out that global warming predictions were little more than doom-and-gloom fear mongering based on failed computer models. For example, in 2007, the BBC reported that the Arctic would be "ice-free" by the summer of 2013. Here's exactly how that fear mongering was published by the BBC: Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice. Their latest modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers with

Broccoli: According to research, consuming cruciferous vegetables can help provide the body with cancer-fighting elements like vitamin C, phytochemicals and calcium. Of all the cruciferous vegetables, broccoli ranks highest in vitamin C content, an antioxidant that may assist with stimulating anti-cancer cells, stopping tumors from spreading and helping the body repair after cancer surgery. It’s been suggested that individuals with higher levels of vitamin C in their blood have a reduced risk of developing cancer than those with lower levels. Adding brocc
