This is probably the closest that we’ll ever get to becoming an astronaut…
One of the the very few things that stuck in our heads from primary school, apart from the ability to read, count and speel spell, is our knowledge of the planets.
Does anyone else remember the rhyme that helped you recall the planets which started with, “My Very Educated Mother…” and so forth?
Thank god then that JOE / Google knows about everything in the solar system because not a day goes by when we’re asked what’s the furthest planet away from the sun, no word of a lie.
We feel that because we can name the nine planets we’re instantly qualified as astronauts therefore we’re sending our applications into NASA right now.
We already know what to expect in space but this wonderful mash-up featuring some of cinema’s best space adventures was a timely reminder of what’s in store for us.
Nothing ever goes wrong in films like Apollo 13, Gravity and 2001: A Space Odyssey so we’re fairly confident that Homer Simpson has a rival for the world’s greatest ever astronaut.
Take a look.
