There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |
Talk:Phil Plait
NASA[edit]
Whoops, about page check fail. I thought he was part of NASA through the Hubble thing. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 08:58, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Fun fact: the Hubble is operated by the wp:Space Telescope Science Institute, which is not part of NASA (though it works closely with it). As our article says, NASA does engineering, not astronomy.--ZooGuard (talk) 09:06, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Jet Joyride…[edit]
I'm a little confused about what this article is saying about him on Bad Universe. Could anyone try to elaborate on this, so it could be more perceivable. --HealableMarrow4 (talk) 09:06, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
- Since no-one from this wiki in the last five years has bothered to responded, I will: It sucks. It's just a Wannabe Mythbusters which is guilty of many of the things he criticizes others for in the science-entertainment industry, then uses the excuses of "it's not my fault - I had to do it or my show wouldn't have been made". Ie: He cares more about his own personal finances than science he preaches, or his intellectual integrity. — Unsigned, by: 1.136.111.64 / talk
- Curiously (or not) Prof. Brian Cox went all the way to South Africa for a joyride in an English Electric Lightning for one of his ostensibly science-based TV programmes. Mr Larrington (talk) 00:38, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
