Thanks for watching!

[@RcAndries]

I've always really liked Adam in the series, but listening him speak so passionate about what he does makes you realize what an amazing person he is!

[@ot0m0t0]

RcAndries You just cant fake something like that. I guess that is so great about it.

[@cool_beannnn]

LightlySaltedNuts what the fuck are you talking about?

[@kat_the_mouse]

just in case you missed it; We get so focused on what our future is going to be that we absolutely make stupid plays right in front of us. -Alton Life is the cumulative result of all the things you decided to do next -Chris

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

Adam has mentioned his Creative Projects folder on his computer several times. It inspired me to start mine, and all the stuff that's in there is just wonderful. Everyone should have one.

[@jackmorris303]

I know man it's so useful! I do something similar where I have a onenote notebook that I jot any idea that I have down in. Most of them are silly or crap but occasionally I'll have a really good one or think of an amendment and just write solidly for an hour or so. What is some of the stuff you have in your folder?

[@harvirdhindsa3244]

This is a panel of amazing people. But the majority of the questions here were weak and didnt take advantage of the fact that there were so many amazing people there.

[@Chasmodius]

+Harvir Dhindsa See: every con panel ever. That's just how random audience QnAs go.

[@joost199207]

The line for questions was already formed before all the mystery guests joined, the people in line already had their question thought up for Adam also because it's an "Adam Savage panel".

[@IqmasterDaNinja]

If anyone actually cares, given that the volume of the water cup is 250 ml, there's roughly 14 mol water in there.

[@RFC3514]

17:05 - Er... no, Phil, weight is what we measure in _newtons_. "LB" is indeed wrong (should be "lb"), but it can stand either for pound-mass _or_ pound-force, so it's perfectly "correct" if you allow for a) the fact that it's in upper-case when it should be in lower-case and b) the fact that it's a medieval, non-SI unit.

[@tilenmoder]

RFC3514 was thinking the same thing with newtons :) glad i am not alone

[@stevenemert837]

RFC3514 - Is this your screen name because you are the author, or just like to be called "evil bit"?

[@gfh110]

I feel like these five dudes went out to dinner after this panel, tied one on, and proceeded to tear the absolute fuck out of San Diego.

[@HYBECTIVE]

Does anyone watch these and feel like comic con is in some untouchable place in heaven xD ? No... Just me? Ok...

[@CruelQuertos]

Just book a hotel room and buy a ticket, maybe I would have thought like you if i was 11 or 12.

[@ADEXL]

CruelQuertos Unfortunately some of us here don't live in the US, and the time and money is something we can't afford, so going to SDCC seems like just a dream for us. I live in Asia, and I sure feel that way.

[@obi2985]

Its also not easy to get tickets. For 1st time attendees they have to go trough registration, but we go trough pre registration.

[@gateauxq4604]

It's like the moon landing. I feel like I've missed the greatest ComiCon panel ever and it's all downhill from here. On the up side I guess I'll have more money at some point in the future!

[@Brad_Okami]

+opalexian b'nafia yeah damn id of needed a six part question time after spending a week breaking down my top 6 from 600 lol

[@Samuel127849]

A panel with four spacemen and a cook.

[@danielscott4514]

+Samuel Warfield I think of Alton Brown more as a kitchen chemist.

[@Samuel127849]

True

[@groofay]

Four spacemen and a cook walk into a con...

[@aidenf77]

What a FANTASTIC panel, largely wasted by softball questions from the audience.

[@mattv2099]

great video!

[@agentkodeh2476]

+MattV2099: Guns & Food O_O i love you

[@Mathosis1118]

+MattV2099: Guns & Food oh crap, your here? interesting... I watch a fuck ton of different youtube and find you here.... interesting.

[@mattv2099]

Mathosis1118 I'm everywhere

[@DogmaFaucet]

Phil Plait makes it sound like those are the only units for describing mass and weight, while also switching from metric to imperial. Mass is the material property, measured in grams for SI (metric) and "slugs" for Imperial. Of course, nobody outside engineering has ever heard of slugs as mass units because almost everyone handles mass at 1g, so the weight is more useful as long as you're aware of where to use it in your equations. Weight (force exerted by gravity on a mass) in SI is in units of force, "Newtons" (N). Everyone, of course, is familiar with pounds as weight in imperial measures, but there is also a "pound mass" if you need such a thing (and which engineers all understand as "pounds"). Just be sure to understand what your equations require. So when the Bad Astronomer says mass is in g or kg, and weight is in lb, he's being bad at pedantry. Technically correct, but not actually helping anyone understand anything. Wait, maybe that's being good at pedantry.

[@jakovasour]

Awesome, would love to see a still untitled discussing the first 5 battlebots episodes too!

[@GreyDevil]

jakovasour I think they might discuss it eventually, Norm did say that they wanted to get into it after the show was out. I've also been waiting to see what their thoughts are, so far the show has been really entertaining. I hope they'll have a drone or RC copter dogfights, or do land/water/air battle categories.

[@jakovasour]

I'm for all of the above. I first heard about it from their podcast and i was not disappointed at all when the episodes started airing, can't get enough of it and that behind the scene vid norm did on it was brilliant. From the rumors I've heard(from the BB subreddit) next year will be more of the same except it's going to be an open tournament instead of an invitational so there's going to be waaayy more bots which sounds good to me.

[@djAnakin]

Oh man I would loved to have been at this panel! I still can't believe Adam got to go up in a U2, and hasn't said a word about it on the podcast or anything! Hopefully after that episode airs.

[@dankswtf]

thanks for posting this, was very cool to watch.

[@KriptexHD]

omg, they get to ride in a U2 spy plane, oh the history that plane has!

[@whitelion44]

エイリアン - Aliien It was a great episode, definitely a top tier episode

[@Kyle.W.Norman]

Who clicks "thumbs down" on a video as funny and interesting as this? 5 great people, enjoyed it loads keep making videos tested!

[@robertgraybeard3750]

at 10:31 question "What inspired you to get into special effect?" "When I was ten years old and saw Star Wars" Also known as Episode 4, A New Hope

[@JimAltis]

Why is this not in my YT feed!? Found it on the site... :o

[@Bersken]

18:05 Gotta do Santa on Mythbusters Jr.. 3:-) Dang... It's been less than 3 years since the original MB ended?!

[@BrowncoatInABox]

get these four a podcast

[@DanielTsosie]

I find it funny that when they hear about Adam's ear hinge, all the men next to him, "I gotta see this."

[@AaronShovlar]

Is the plaster on the back of Jaime's necks reference to Pulp Fiction!

[@gurumissar6485]

LOST COUNT on how many time this video made me LOOSE MY MIND!!

[@therobotx512345]

There are two types of lbs. lb mass and lb force. If you do a little research you can find that out. Normally we see lbs as a force but we should not forget about lb mass.

[@cinderblockstudios]

51:14 Amazing reaction from Phil Plait!

[@tannerhall8410]

I can't wait to see the episode in the U2!

[@kevinzaleski5895]

Mythbusters season something! Now with more guns!

[@RicMorton]

Tell that guy to sit down !

[@Pac0Master]

I would have loved to ask him about his trip in the high altitude plane especially that he's next to Chris Hadfield

[@johnstotko6733]

Also, a mole of water is about 18ml.

[@sockpuppie]

I feel like this was a missed opportunity for someone to ask all 5 of these guys how they think we could do a better job in school about getting kids interested in science and what things they did in school to help get them to where they are today or something along those lines. Ah well, still very cool. I would love if all 5 of them did something on Tested so people could have more prepared questions for all 5 of them. Seems like a really cool panel though.

[@honda86tb]

Hello. Great video. Just wanted to say Adam, as a fellow machinist, check out the osgeurope youtube channel. The super slow motion videos are particularly incredible.

[@thelongingforflight9644]

26:01 Oh no.

[@keving2737]

Dude Football is Texas' pride and joy

[@randompanda876]

The amount of guns in the new season excites me

[@thePavuk]

This video is so much Win!

[@benstevens645]

Nice Pulp Fiction reference there on Jamie's Neck Adam! :)

[@crogon-yt]

I would have loved to know if anyone ever counted how many cameras they destroyed on mythbusters and what that number is ;D

[@cabe_bedlam]

As always, I could listen to Adam read the phone book. Thankfully he has great stories to tell instead!

[@jimistephen]

High sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.

[@tengkuadam1399]

The piranha solution. Have some gasoline on the side, burn the brown sludge, and boom, you've made a body disappear.

[@DKTAz00]

Awwww yeah! What have you got to do to fly in a U2 ? :D And how about you weld some simple handles on those safety glass panels

[@maxximumb]

Cool.

[@Rebellionzxc]

i like how jamie doesn't give a shit about stay in a character XD

[@czarsean1]

I'm a straight married male but if I could I would marry any of you, ya'll are so damn interesting.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Shame Australian tv is too cheap to buy anymore than the first 4 seasons n then just repeat them year after year.

[@marathuzula9024]

This is a really cool panel of people... but an astronaut dwarfs them all. Much love to authors and makers... but an astronaut.

[@Jasonwolf1495]

I'm the opposite. Gravity bored me to tears. it just bad overall to me, and Interstellar was beautiful and enjoyable.

[@chriss.9398]

wolflordjsww I like both from an entertainment standpoint(completely subjective) They were both breathtaking to me as I love space movies. Seeing gravity in 3d really set the mood and atmosphere. But I absolutely agree that interstellar was beautifully made. It had some flaws in it but I can not think of a movie that has not. It was one of the best space movies I have ever seen and probably one of my favorite movies that has come out in recent times.

[@myvideos9811]

i would like to know who is the finacier of mythbusters....

[@benjaminking2021]

26:00 well this didn't age well

[@ummacnai]

Was coming in to to discuss that, yah.

[@Tomyb15]

Really? Interesting. On my first watch of interstellar I found the plot to be more interesting than the plot of gravity though I found both movies great. We can talk about the science accuracy or visual beauty of both movies and compare them and argue, but plot wise, I found interstellar's to be much more interesting varied without being convoluted. I enjoyed it more. In fact, I was surprised he said he was not moved by interstellar but implying he was by gravity. I would have guessed the opposite situation, with interstellar having more emotional elements to generate catharsis.

[@Moxtrox]

Ciroluiro I actually fell asleep during Gravity although it's a much shorter movie than Interstellar and I was well rested. During Interstellar, I was just glued to the screen and didn't even want to blink.

[@Tomyb15]

Moxtrox my experience when watching interstellar was exactly the same. I find it difficult to understand how some people on the internet can hate the movie so much (not talking about Adam though). I feel like some of them just want to hate on it for some unknown reason. I do understand if they liked it but didn't love it or if they didn't like it because they aren't into sci fi films or long movies or story-driven films. But the furious reaction of some people towards the film is unbelievable. There are also people that overreact saying it was the best film ever and bash everyone that does not agree with them... Although they usually have good reasons to argue at the very least. (How can it have only 1 oscar while gravity has 7?!) Despite this, I did like Gravity, it had its moments of suspense and tension well established. However it had a bunch of moments that were very boring.

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

+Ciroluiro My biggest problem was I never found McConaughey at all believable in the role, so it took me out from the word go

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

+Ciroluiro My biggest problem was I never found McConaughey at all believable in the role, so it took me out from the word go

[@unethicallemon67]

The martians coming out im so exited!!! YEAH SO AM I( IM GUNNA GET SOOO MUCH FUCKING MONEY)

[@donjaeger2149]

Great Video except for the big head in the way...

[@Setochase]

I feel bad for that second to last guy...

[@akatharia3158]

Alton Brown? Why? He's awesome!

[@Setochase]

AllAboutTheArts no the people asking questions Adam said " no that can't be the last question" giving the second to last person asking a question to get an answer. But then Adam thanks everyone and ends the panel.

[@akatharia3158]

Oh sorry, I realized what you meant right before you replied :P

[@Setochase]

AllAboutTheArts lol

[@Clay3613]

Lots of glasses and facial hair. Pretty ecstatic to learn that Alton and Adam are friends. I have to disagree with Adam over Gravity...I don't like that movie at all.

[@OrAngeAnArchy]

+Tested woah, seems like the most random panel. A Culiinary chef/producer/food celebrity, Canadian Astronaut/celebrity, Props specialist/celebrity, Astronomer/youtube celebrity/skeptic, and Novelist/software engineer. I love it!

[@Natedawg422]

I kinda got teary eyed seeing Adam at the edge of space over the world...

[@Bohndigga]

Yes, but will mythbusters be on netflix again?

[@TheCyanSqueegee]

Wow this panel is amazing, awesome people all around really really wish I could've been there. (Although I most likely would've been too shy to speak)

[@darkless60]

Man that 50 minutes went away quick

[@GreyDevil]

I doubt this would get to Adam , but you never know. Can you please convince Discovery to do a proper Season boxset for Mythbusters? The collection nonsense is dumb. There are DVD season sets but they seem to be really hard to find. Re-releasing them in a blu-ray set would be awesome and would save space since you can fit more episodes per disk, even if the early part of the show wasn't in HD.

[@alwaysforget911]

GreyDevil you idiot its 2015, all mythbusters episodes can be found online for free

[@dporiua]

"Online for free" won't help the mythbusters , piracy is one thing, scolding people for not pirating something is a whole other deal.

[@GreyDevil]

johnLAndino I like having the physical media so i can watch it whenever, plus there's commentary and bonus stuff i do enjoy going through. And like someone else said, i would like to support Mythbusters. Omg idiot, what are you a baby? lol

[@alwaysforget911]

GreyDevil shut up nerd

[@aaron4820]

Not only they are on the internet, there are "streamline' edits which eliminates Mythbusters' tedious format where you have to re-watch bits due to adverts or when a Myth is stretched out and chopped up to try to get audience to stay for the whole show. The best way to "support them" is by having Discovery and tuning in during the show as that's how they determine demand..

[@jacobyim3253]

Piranha Acid=Sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Turn up the volume when adam tells alton and you can hear it. Or just google it...

[@scottmantooth8785]

gaseous anomaly detected at 22:58... spectral analysis indicates the following composition: Nitrogen: 20-90% Hydrogen: 0-50% (flammable) Carbon dioxide: 10-30% Oxygen: 0-10% Methane: 0-10% (flammable) volume insufficient to induce to involuntary respiratory distress, unconscious or suffocation but prolonged exposure not advised

[@djAnakin]

Whoever decided to put the camera behind the mic queue needs to go home and rethink their life.

[@badoli1074]

Watching Adam Savage talk makes me so happy :) One of my biggest Idols.

[@iggiethrust]

The content was interesting, though the the random people silhouetted in front of the camera was almost infuriating! Sort it out fellas.

[@JohnBare747]

Wen Adam flew with the Blue Angles I was jealous but a U2 flight, WOW, it don't get much better than that now that the SR-71 and the Space Shuttle are just lumps in a museum, finest kind of ride Adam...

[@Scarrzyy]

Adam Savage is a national treasure.

[@elijahvivio1996]

34:05 totally heard that

[@dwaynepeterson7511]

"ulfuric acid and uh hydric acid

[@dwaynepeterson7511]

oxide*

[@GilbertAppleby]

lbs is a measurement of weight and mass, lbs and lbs force. Even kgs has a force equivalent, kgf. If this was a perfect world, we would use grams for mass and newtons for force.

[@tinuszke]

Gilbert Appleby Indeed, I though lb for mass was perfectly acceptable (of course I'd rather seen kg but okay). I always think of lb and kg as mass units. ONLY when it says lbf or kgf, I think of it as force.

[@holdthedoor8130]

Everything Alton brown is evolved with is amazing

[@chris86simon]

"I like it in here, its private" Haha. Thats an old one.

[@Evitable]

@44:05 "A small town in Houston, TX" Houston, TX population: 2.196 million = small town according to this Texan

[@coronapapi]

Jesus, does the audience not realize that this is being filmed? You don't have to be standing to be able to hear the answer to your question.

[@stephaneforget4693]

+Cody X Geez this guy standing in front of the cam :/

[@chuckd5877]

That's not why they're standing db. They're standing cuz that's what you do when you're asking a question like that in a room full of people.

[@AirwrekaDoesntRead]

I feel really bad that Chris had to take time to sit up at this panel. He's so much more than an entertainer- he shouldn't be subjected to that panel. He was completely bypassed, and I feel like his intetillect was completely disregarded when in the presense of Adam. As much as I love Mythbusters, Chris worked really hard to get to where he is. While elveryone else on that panel is "famous" through dumb luck of being picked up by a network or having his book well recieved, Chris is the only one who truly made his own path to get to be an astronaut. He should be treated with so much more respect than this. Rant over.

[@darksideka]

What's with the voice over artists reading the audience questions they are "CRINGE"

[@yetanothergamingfail]

the "how fast smallpox raged through america" joke from Mr Weir didnt age well XD

[@ValeriePallaoro]

of course the rest of the world measures mass and weight using the same words ... js

[@Mr.Potato420]

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace was not bad

[@IThink2b]

This panel is unreal, totally geeking out. Some of my favorite people and childhood dream on stage.

[@spdcrzy]

Watching Adam geek out on stage and brainstorm with Andy Weir on the spot is awesome :D

[@JeskyKO]

Someone should have asked Alton what food he would make in zero gravity!

[@javeous]

“Science is really just story telling under really rigorous parameters.” The amount of combined practical and experience based understanding is under acknowledged in this statement. I wonder how many other people understand.

[@Tritium21]

Dammit, Pound, unqualified IS a unit of mass. It has been pinned to the kilogram for over a hundred years. Pound-force is a unit of force.

[@tekvax01]

lt still bugs me about the martian, when and why the astronaut didn't pass out from hypoxia with 6% oxygen in the hab, and the rest hydrogen.......

[@matteedstrom]

+Tested Adam, the reason that Jamie shoots better then you, is simple, he pulls the trigger SLOW and that makes a better shot. Adam you pull the trigger, and make the gun move as the muscles tend to pull the gun.

[@maxximuss]

47:19 probably the smartest thing I have heard in a long time

[@RapaciousUT]

Pounds mass is the most common unit of mass used in engineering worldwide. It is the amount of mass that weighs one pound at Earth's surface.

[@lcduncan92]

So pardon me for forgetting the alien races name from Men In Black, but the instant Adam said he had that ear surgery and had those stitches, that alien minister was the first thing I thought of

[@stebstebanesier6205]

Are these the best questions for this panel, quad copter and pinball machines, for Christ's sake.

[@vampirica89]

Next year get Wil Wheaton and George Takei sit with you guys and it should be complete. :)

[@jocax188723]

Sligtly late note: If Adam is correct in his guess, 8 ounces of water is ~12.5 moles.

[@theshep64]

To be fair, engineers use pound mass (lbm) to design rockets to send satellites to orbit. It's a pretty subtle error to use lb.

[@spacewarpphotography1667]

At 2:33, Adam at 70,000 feet, is it me, or do the clouds look like a bald eagle with its wings spread?

[@CptVein]

Wth! That girl that said how tall she was at 11:25. I just watched another comic-con panel and she said the exact same thing.

[@ichitensho7075]

Chris Hadfield ?!!?! nice this guy is everywhere !

[@tubelator]

did adam just say Interstellar did not move him??? wtf

[@thewatcher3035]

kind feel bad for alton he just pretty much sat there and did nothing
