Ffs that guy is annoying. Did not even do the math, which should have told him that hypersonic does not even scratch the surface unless he has an extremely wide drop-off region.

I can't believe you're really taking his comment seriously?! He made a post about Santa's reindeer and sleigh vaporizing due to the speed of travel. It's supposed to be absurd, not a science lesson.

It's a little ironic that you say NDT is annoying for his joke while complaining that his math (from a joke) does'nt make sense.

See? Eheran GOT YOU. He knew that Tyson was joking, so he played it straight and made you look like a dupe!

Oh wait, you're doing the straight man switcheroo, I've been bamboozled again.

I thought he could have been the next Carl Sagan, but instead, he's that guy you never invite to parties.

I dunno about you, but I'm not sure if I'd have invited Carl Sagan either...it'd take him ~13.8 billion years just to get dessert ready.
