Customer Reviews
Love this
Love the podcast but chuck makes 40% unfunny jokes and you laugh at them and you can tell that some of your laughs are fakes please make good jokes chuck and some of them are good just not all.
Low standards for rigor and accuracy
Tyson gives his audience many wrong explanations.
For example he tells us the James Webb Space Telescope is parked at the L2 point in earth’s shadow. Or that rocket propellant goes exponentially with payload mass. Or that only carbon burns.
Neil really needs to take some time to research his topic before attempting an explainer. He is negligent.
Thanks for the podcast
It’s my dream to study space and learn more about the universe
