I am streaming my Comic Con panel right here, right now.
About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

Third row, 5th from the right (my right, not Phil’s right). This is awesome!!!

I found this late, the video was choppy, I couldn’t understand anyone except you and maybe a couple of others on the panel itself, and after the Wil Wheaton comment, it completely shut down
Better than nothing, however.
The parts I did hear were totally awesome, though. Yay, explosive decompression! XD

Every year I threaten to go to this thing (I live 90 minutes away), but never do. I’m so lazy.

Aliens are real and have made contact with us several times according to Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell….

Phill you need to talk to this guy before he denies he was on the Moon.

I just wanted to let you know that this was one of the best panels I’ve ever attended. I hope you have it again next year.

Nah, the deniers can’t use him because as far they’re concerned he was just acting the role of astronaut and he can’t deny the moon landings because then he’d lose credibility as UFO/alien spotter. Lose lose all the way round. Pity about him though.

oh noes I missed it …
July 25th, 2008 at 5:26 am
Ha Ha. I can’t wait to hear BA’s take on this Edgar Mitchell thing.
July 25th, 2008 at 6:35 am
Yep.
Great panel, Phil!
Comic-con is fun…
Although you do have some ground to make up. You probably didn’t crash the Discover Magazine’s servers even once…

Maybe Mr. Mitchell received a higher than normal dose of Cosmic rays

Sorry I dozed off during the panel (hope I didn’t snore too loud) — it was a loooonnnnngggg con! (I was listening, though. Great panel!)
