Why was it easier to teach oil drillers to become astronauts

t. doesn't know the first thing about drilling

>>86673949
But that's the point: Isn't the first thing about drilling also the last thing about drilling? How to... drill

>>86673930
because they had just to be passengers, like when on an airplane you listen to the stewards instructions, it's not like they needed to drive the shuttles.
Drilling takes years of experience to do correctly and the astronauts would have to do it themselves

>>86673930
You are not an astronaut. You are a pilot with shuttle training or a scientist/engineer with zero-G training. The same for drillers.

>>86673930

>Oil drilling

>Highly specialized skill that takes years of experiences to perfect

>Astronaught

>Sitting in a chair for a bit and then floating

I mean, you work it out.

all they had was 18 days and one shot to drill on an asteroid which is a once in a lifetime opportunity so no way was they gon miss their chance to blow

>>86673930
Because astronauts have are corrupted from their liberal college education and can't do blue collar work while oil drillers don't even have a high school diploma

>>86674002
So that was the end of that talk.

>>86673930
Why was it easier to teach oil drillers to drill asteroids in vacuum and becoming astronauts than to teach astronauts how to drill asteroids?

>>86673930
My goodness, JUST what happened to big Ben?

>>86673930
They explained it in the movie

>>86674199
are you really that retarded?

Are you?

Do you think Astronaughts fly the fucking rockets or something?

They sit in them. It goes up.

The nozzle bit floats about with them in it. They play the guitar and take stupid pictures that they force kids to look at in science class.

Then it crash lands in the fucking ocean.

They do literally NOTHING that a drunk cab driver couldn't handle.

>>86673930
Why sacrifice valuable astronauts if you can get cheap oil drillers?

>>86676045
why employ astronauts when you dont bother to use them?

>>86673930
Drilling is an art. I've been drilling my entire life and I still don't know everything about it.

>>86676158
I drilled ur mum lastnight m8

>>86674563
An asteroid isn't a vacuum you dumb fuck, any body of mass has gravity

Is Deep Impact better?

>>86676158
>Drilling is an art
That's what your sister said

Neil Armstrong stayed calm and remained conscious long enough to save the mission. You'd have blacked out from the G-forces and let everybody die.

See also Apollo 13.

>>86676460
Armageddon is more of the America propaganda movie. Deep impact is a real disaster movie

So good.

>They don't understand what makes a good tranny.

>>86676460
They're both kind of bad, but Armageddon is at least entertaining.

>>86673930

The Idea was to send both astronauts and drillers to save earth.

>>86676460
I used to think it was but I watched Armageddon recently and it holds up a lot better and is actually quite comfy. Billy Bob Thornton have great chemistry and I have to admit I got teary eyed when Harry ripped off his patch and had AJ give it to Truman when he returned to earth

>>86673992
t. astronaut

>>86673930

The movie mentions special space suits that removes the effects of gravity for the most part. So the drillers didn't really have to do anything other than survive the trip and Immediately get to work. The astronauts on the other hand needed to train to drill. Not only that it's established earlier that all those scientific guys didn't really know how to operate that drilling machine.

>>86678511
yea, there was a scene where the astronauts built the drill and wanted Harry to show them how to use it and Harry tells them they did it all wrong and him and his crew disassemble it and reassemble it the right way

>>86676431
wha.... do you not know what a vacuum is?

>>86678722
vacuum means no gravity, which is how vacuum cleaners work and can suck shit up off of the floor you stupid dumbass

>>86673930
Because plebians can't relate to NASA engineers but can relate to blue collar american tuff boy.

>>86678722
>Vacuum is space void of matter
Unless that asteroid was made of pure photons it wasn't a vacuum

Why are you trying to trick me into thinking you're thick? What could you possibly have to gain from such a deceit

>>86678928
photons are matter dumbass

its just not the same desu

The asteroid isn't a vacuum but it's in the vacuum of space which means it's a vacuum at the surface which is where the characters were working so they were drilling in a vacuum like that guy originally said. Dunno why that's different from drilling in atmosphere though.

>>86679106
heat dissipation for one thing, managing heat in the near vacuum that is space is already a problem when we just have some dyels on a cycling machine in the ISS, now imagine you scale the amount of heat being created by some diamond drill boring through dirt and ice with nowhere near the atmosphere of earth to absorb the excess heat.

>>86679008
no they are not, they don't have mass

>>86679246
>heat dissipation of drilling into minus 73 Celsius rock

>>86679675
>materials act the same under extreme stress, heat or cold

>>86673930
because drilling is an art it's a science and they didn't teacher drillers how to be astronauts they were just passengers astronauts did all the astronaut shit

>>86674622
25 years happened.

>>86673930
Because they already had a crew of astronauts to do the astronaut stuff to get them there. It makes sense to then let the drilling specialists take over once the astronauting was done.

>>86681728
I don't think astronauting technically ends until your back on earth.

>>86674957
I hope you're joking. There's a good reason why we have so few astronauts when so many kids want to be one when they grow up.

>>86678300
That is one of the most kino responses I have ever seen in 9 years of 4chan. 10/10. F.

>>86673949
fuck off drilling engineers. You are the niggers of the oil industry.

>>86676158
>drilling is an art guize

Shut the fuck up Ben

>implying they could even compete

>>86676924
well 4chan would certainly know better about this topic, wouldn't they?

>>86673930
Astronauts would've cracked and pussied out. They would've detonated the nuke on the surface of the asteroid and the earth would've been obliterated

>>86678770
>vacuum means no gravity

please tell me you're pretending to be retarded
