Episode: DeGrasse Tyson We have to believe science on climate change

Yes and astrophysics like having satellites in orbit, which means rockets. Which means ICBMs, which means MERVs and that means you have us deliver system and its guidance system. You literally are the most important component to the nuclear weapon program, getting it to where it needs to be.

“What does an astrophysicist do?”

*Starts calling down meteor strikes like a friggin wizard*

Fun fact the clips on the bottom are fake, you can tell beacause a nokia 3310 was destroyed

Dionysus the elder of Syracuse, was one of first to invent the catapult. He wasn't technically a soilder, but he was a tyrant that did lead armies. A lot of weapons were actually made by soldier's which shouldn't be surprising speaking they're the ones that have to use them. Less so in modern times since how advanced stuff has become.

[Ometochtli]

I assumed the catapult was invented by a guy who just wanted a really, really big slingshot.

Missiles, optics and detection, communication, shielding/armor, thermal protection, satellite surveillance, gps

Astrphysicist: I cast Gamma Ray Burst!!

[dapperpotatoes]

I dunno man, satellite are some of the most vital and valuable tools for war. War is a task of logistics and information.

[BobBloxer]

Psychologists maniacally laughing in the background:

[cia]

Make something useful for war and people will come rushing in to invest

[alexanderslemp]

Yeah, ever since we scraped the original night vision substance, we learned it's not the things that go bump in the night humans needed to concern ourselves with. It what all exist in the other light spectrums that'll make u glad u don't interact with any of 'em.

[Daniel-msxe]

The astrophysicist made Odin people search it up its a gun but one that shoots earth a tactical nuke with no warhead

[varun]

Astrophysicist trying to bring aliens on earth

[MRmeomania]

Yeah, when they give your name to an astroid slinger this argument will fizzle

[hiuto]

Yes Einstein gave us the bomb, thank genius.

[tylerb]

Let’s just hope the biologist doesn’t weaponize anthrax… again.

[Shields-are-cool]

But catapults gose all the way back to antique Rome where legionaries who where not just soldiers but engineers and builders chould have made the onger where as the auxiliary was a fighting force only and didn’t get paid as much as the legionary

[thatoneguynobodylikesbuthe]

I feel like everything he just said should be common sense though

[Invisible_Man]

They'll be able to sling asteroids to wherever they want😂

[MilesHeywood]

what an astrophysicist is going to do in Wars they're going to deflect an asteroid to instead of hitting you they're going to deflected to hit the enemy
