Turns out some really weird stuff has been sent into space.
Let's talk about that.
♪ (theme music) ♪
- Good Mythical Morning. - Space. The final frontier.
For centuries, humans have gazed up into that abyss
with amazement, and wondered, "What crap can we strap to a rocket
and send up there into oblivion?" Turns out, a lot of weird stuff
- has been sent up there. - On purpose?
Boop boopidy boop boop! On purpose.
And today we're going to explore these things and we're going to learn some of
them, but some of them are falsified by me,
and you have to guess which ones are worth learning,
and which ones are worth rejecting, or just finding mildly humorous,
- because I made them up. - And what do I win?
What-- Uh-- What? What do I win when I win, Link?
Well you gotta get five out of eight of these true-false questions right.
- Aw, five out of eight? Come on. - And if you do,--
That's over-- That's just over half. You get this, Rhett.
- Now at first you might say, - A necklace!
- "What is this?" - Oooh!
Now read it. Read what it says right there,
- and be gentle with it. - Moon Flight 1969.
- Now-- Okay-- - (spitting sound)
- No, no, no, no, no! - (spitting sound)
A fan-- Dude. This is for real,
and I'm pretty excited about it. In Good Mythical More I'll give you all
the details, but sufficient to say for now,
a fan who has a connection with NASA sent us this actual nylon string that was
part of the parachute that brought the astronauts that landed on the moon back to
- Earth afterwards. - Let me smell it.
The Apollo 11 moon landing flight back to Earth--
That's the parachute cord. You win that.
- You win-- You can keep it on your desk. - Smells like Neil Armstrong.
- I have to ask your permission to look at it. - Buzz Aldrin.
- Who's the other guy? - And then-- Uh--
- I'll give you more details later. - Tom Hanks!
- (both laugh) - That was Apollo 13.
So, here we go. I'm going to ask the questions.
If Rhett looks at my screen,
- I get it right. - he's not cheating because the answers aren't
- on there until I tell you the answers. - Oh, okay.
So I know sometimes people-- Don't look at it anyway,
- Yeah. - but I just wanted to clear that up.
True or false: Was this item actually sent into space?
A Pizza Hut delivery pizza. That's the longest piece of delivery ever!
First of all, if this is for some marketing gimmick,
you shouldn't be allowed to do this. There should be a law against it.
This really sets a precedent for whether or not anything at all goes.
- You can send a pizza to space? - (Italian accent) Maybe you make a good point?
True or false? Do you think it really happened?
I'm gonna just-- I'm gonna have hope in humanity and say
no. This did not happen. They did not send a pizza to space.
- It did happen. - (buzzer sound)
- Gah! - Pizza Hut became the first company
- in history to deliver pizza to space - (Rhett) Who cares?!
(Link) After paying the Russians a million dollars.
Oh, hold on, did it just like, go to the moon-- The space station?
They delivered it to the space station,
- the Russian space station. - Oh, I'm just picturing like,
- a pizza in space. - Well alter--
Freezing on one side, and frying on the other side.
(laughs) Well that's how they cooked it on the way there.
- (laughs) Oh. - It didn't have pepperoni because that
wouldn't last the 60 day testing process. They had salami.
- (Rhett) So this can be-- - (Link) He looks happy!
(Rhett) It was in a shuttle and all that went to space?
Yeah, Rhett. It's not like it's gonna sling shot.
(funny voice) Get the pizza cannon! (launch sound)
(normal voice) Look at the thing spinning! Flying saucer!
They didn't do that with anything. You can't use a cannon to get anything
- into space. - I feel like I should get that one back,
but it's okay.
- (inaudible) - Space candid.
True or false: A Steve Buscemi autograph and kind note
- went into space. - To an alien?
- (crew laughs) - No just think about--
Dear aliens, I'm an actor.
- Just think abou-- (laughs) - (crew laughs)
Just think about like an astronaut taking stuff in the shuttle,
or anything that they wanted to say, they took into space,
or maybe they have their reasons. Maybe there's a connection between
- Why not? - Steve Buscemi--
Why not? Steve Buscemi,
he's got these kinds of things on his mind, sure.
Does he? Why would he?
- No, Steve Buscemi didn't do this. - Oh, you're changing your answer,
- or are you changing it back? - I haven't given my answer.
Boardwalk empire? He was in that.
- (crew laughs) - Yes, he did it.
- Final answer? - No, he didn't do it.
- Final answer?! - He didn't do it.
(laughs) False.
- (ding sound) - Hey!
He didn't do it. I made it up.
Despite being an astronomical actor, his signed autograph has not been shot
out into the abyss of space or hitched a ride on the shuttle.
- At least not yet. - Okay.
- That's out challenge to you, Steve. - True or false:
- (crew laughs) - Luke Skywalker's lightsaber.
- Sent into space or not? - Hm.
- (alien space ship sound) - George Lucas has a lot of money
- and a lot of weird ideas. - (crew laughs)
It came from space. It went all around space anyway.
Yeah. Right. It's already been in space.
I mean, the whole time it was in a movie
- it was in space. - Right. You watched it. You know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Don't cover your mouth like that,
- I can't hear what' you're saying. - Huah!
- I can't hear your wrong answer. - I was just going, "Hmm."
- (laughs) - It sounds exactly the same with my hand
- off. Hmm. - True or false:
- Luke Skywalker's lightsaber sent into space. - Yeah. Of course. It was a replica of a--
But yes, it was the one from the movie. Went into space.
- No. I didn't say replica. - It was the one from the movie.
(laughs) Yeah.
- True or false? True - Yeah!
A prop lightsaber actually used in Return of the Jedi went up October 2007
in Discovery shuttle flight STS120 in honor of the 30th anniversary of the
- (Link) release of Star Wars. - (Rhett) Of course they did.
True or false: Space Jam on DVD.
- Sent into space? - That would be--
- That would just be too cute. - Iron-- Well Ironic.
- (crew laughs) - Too cute.
Well think about it. Think about--
- MJ would never let that happen. Nope. - He has no-- No.
- Think about the sense of humor of astronauts. - They're not called Space Jordans,
- they're called Air Jordans. - Think about the--
- Think about-- - (makes buzzer sound)
Okay. You're saying false?
- False. - Alright,
- (ding sound) - That was false.
- Yeah! - Despite being one of the most accurate
depictions of outer space ever created, there has never been a Space Jam DVD
- in space. Yet. - (crew laughs)
True or false: Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.
- True. - Was that sent into space?
- Why would you say that? - Because--
- You don't have to say why. - Because he's
- Final answer? - Because he's prepared.
- He's got the bubble around his head. - You know he's not human.
- Human? - A real person.
- What is his catch phrase? - To infinity and beyond.
- Yeah. Of course he went! - (laughs) True.
- Hey! - (ding sound)
But it was not the actual person it was the action figure.
- (Rhett) Yeah, because Tim Allen. - (Link) 'Cause they're in--
- There is no actual person. - Tim Allen.
- 2008 Discovery mission. - Went to jail.
He lived in the International Space Station for more that 450 days.
- That dude's a champ. - Yeah, yeah.
- Tim Allen was in jail. - (crew laughs)
True or false: (crew and Link laughs)
- Two Iranian turtles. - Ah, to mate?
- Getting a little random here! - To mate.
- Was it a male and a female? - Yeah, let's say to mate.
It was to see all about turtle reproduction in space.
- (crew laughs) - Yeah.
'Cause you gotta make sure those turtles can reproduce in space.
Well studies show that if we go, the next thing in line is turtles.
- (laughs) - True or false?
- True. True. - Two Iranian turtles.
- Why not? True. Yes. - (laughs) It is true.
- (ding sound) - Hey! That's five!
Here's a little something to learn. First of all,
Feburary 3, 2010, ISA,
that's the I-rahn-ian space agency, or Iranian,
I don't care how you say it, launched Cavacshar 3,
- that's explorer three rocket. - You don't care how you say it.
- (laughs) - Of course you don't.
- With one-- - Maybe they do.
Yeah, that's true. I'm sorry.
I don't know how to say I-rahn-ian-- Iranian?
- E-rahn-ian. - The launched one rodent,
two turtles, and several worms into sub-orbital space.
- Did you know Iran had a space program? - No.
They don't anymore. They shut it down a few days ago.
They're like "we gotta quit putting turtles and stuff into space."
January 9th 2015 the Iranian government shut down the agency due to
financial constraints.
- Yeah, turtles in space. Expensive. - Are back on earth.
The turtles are safe. True or false-- And lets see, so.
- I've already gotten five, - You've already won the cord?
- I get the moon cord. - Alright, this is just for bragging rights.
True or false? Was it sent into space? A Sega Game Gear. That is the 8-bit,
hand held game console we all loved.
Sega had a really big decade in the 90's and that was when we were sending stuff
- up into space left and right. - Just think about what astronauts get
- bored, what are they gonna do? - And there's 3 buttons, A, B and C.
Yes.
- Yes, that's hopeful. - No.
(buzzer sound) I'm sure astronauts would have loved to play Sonic and Tails in
orbit but it hasn't happened, (both) Yet.
I got one more for you. This is just bonus, OK.
You can wear it as a necklace if you get this one right.
True or false? Sent into space cremains.
- What? - Cremated remains. Dead people's ashes.
- Space burial. - Yeah, you can do that.
In fact when you get a star named after you that's what happens. You also get your
- remains. That's what's gonna happen to you. - Yes, I know you had a star named after
me and I do remember it daily and
- I appreciate it. - Your remains-- cremains will be shot into
space, by me personally with my space cannon.
You're right, it is true for a different reason.
(ding sound) Two companies Celestis and Elysium offers space burials and there's
an app to track where you are in space. Or where your relative is For around $2,000.
It will eventually get back to earth and when it does it burns up.
- It's a double burn. - Becomes a shooting star.
It's like re-fried beans. (laughs) but it's just people.
- Celestris can bury you on the moon. For real. - How much is that?
- $12,500 - Put my name on the list.
They haven't done it in a couple of years, but, their website's still operational it
- just doesn't look too-- - Put me up there with two Iranian turnles
- turtles. - (mumbles) Turtles.
(victory music) Alright, congratulations, Rhett, you're already sporting your--
Anytime you wanna wear this necklace--
- This thing and back! - And around my neck.

Verbal Tennis: Home Decor.
This is when we have to ask questions back and forth and they have to be related
to home decor, and they have to be related to the question
before, and you can only ask questions.
