He definitely gives off a vibe of the coolest grandfather in town. Who happens to be an astronaut.

[AlexandriaSWest]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate that this incredibly well educated astronaut was just forced to say "poopoo" multiple times.

[blunderbass]

Mike's voice and accent makes his sense of humor so good! Love this guy

[melonnnnnn]

His belt has seen more of the world than I have.

"Don't sign up to anywhere that tells you you're going to infinity and beyond! We go to definite places" 😂

[frojojo]

Occasionally, when you wish upon a shooting star it’s a poopoo star and your wish comes true but for someone else.

How does NASA organize a party?


They planet.

I met Mr. Massimino several years ago when I was just 15 or 16. Seriously one of the coolest and down to earth (pun intended) people I’ve ever met. Very kind. Love to share stories about it to a kid who couldn’t hear enough about space. A day I’ll never forget.

[Cor]

I'd love to hear him voice over a Disyney or Pixar character! He's quite likeable and the way he speaks makes him even more entertaining to listen to!

[nonamesinenomine]

Teacher: ok class we have a real life astronaught coming in today so prepare your questions and be on your best behavior
Class: where da poopoo peepee go space cowboy

[Masada]

I imagine astronauts in 2250 will still be asked where the poopoo goes.

11:11 "Ahhh...I'm still gonna say the longer answer."
The struggle in him!

[emperaliz]

imagine thinking that the nasa would call you, a professional astronaut, to ask if you've heard about the big bang theory, as in, the actual theory lmaao

[roblarssen]

it's so wholesome how NASA called him to ask about the Big Bang Theory and he thought NASA was calling him because they ran out of guys who knew about the Big Bang Theory so they had to call up this astronaut to explain it

[oOoJeeoOo]

2 PHD, went to space, amazing potential. Question in thumbnail: where do poopoo go...

[TheLoxely]

Mass is a walking astronaut legend. After watching him on YouTube, I read his book, and it’s an amazing read that really lets you know a little bit about what it’s like to be and astronaut, someone who spacewalked out at the Hubble twice. And the courage and determination to do so

[Nossairito]

5:58 that's probably my new favorite standard for judging how complicated different fields are : if your acronyms don't have acronyms inside them are you even trying

[anonanon]

Captain here:
The poopoo question gets answered at 3:50
*flies away *

[mscheezburger]

Mike massamino visited my highschool once and I felt asleep in the front row of the audience. I still feel bad to this day 😭

[randomrangoon]

Can this guy just have a regular series?
Really enjoy these ones and he's pretty cool in my book👍😈💯
