But if Neil’s more massive, you get a gravity assist, Phil.

When I put this together, I never thought this would create much of a stir. I really adore both of these guys to the highest degree.

I think some of yous guys are onto something, how bout The Hawkin’ VS The Dawkin’? I was thinking this throw-down would be the like Spock VS Kirk but the Hawk would have to use his Yoda mind control.

So is it Badass-tronomer or? Bad Ass-tronomer? or…. I wasn’t sure

I was thinking that this could make for an awesome EPIC RAP BATTLE!!! In case you’re not familiar with the concept, here’s Einstein vs Hawking.

That one’s not the greatest, but you guys could actually do it playing yourselves. It would be astronomically epic! Bring it on guys!!!

That would be the laser you posted about and had to take down later, eh?

“1/2 Watt green laser”

You need some more wavelength-appropriate safety glasses my friend.

O my gosh, I think the two of you should go on The Colbert Report together and let Stephen ask the questions. And embarrass the heck out of him. And bring the green laser too.

Oh no, you can’t pop his balloon. It would get…astronomer stuff…all over the place…

…of course, if his balloon is inflated with hydrogen, voila, flaming Tyson a la king…( is that a french dish?).

You think a tiny half watt laser would win against Tyson? He has laser for eyes. 20 watt lasers. And you don’t want to see what his navel can do.
