    [..YouTube..] Nice minute, guys. Great work Cariann! You’re making some aspects of nasa TV like a sleeping competition. Looks and sounds quite natural.

    [..YouTube..] I knew that this is how they made moon tires, but I didn’t know that they might be useful on Earth too. That would be really cool.

    Sadly, all of the close ups that Ben put in the video don’t show the new tires. This one is not too bad: http://images.spaceref.com/news/2009/ooTHE-GOODYEAR-TIRE-RUBBER-.jpg

    [..YouTube..] Heh moar liek ur MOM … uh … is also .. likes metal tire.

    OOOOOOOOOH SNAP!

    I apologize for my crassness, but I’ve been sitting on that primo metal tire yo mama joke for 9 years now. Honestly. If I didn’t drop it now, what are the chances I’d ever find another occasion to fire it off?

    Cariann, awesome job, awesome minute. Lots of great info in such a short time. Great teaser that made me want to do more research. Thanks for the additional info link, too.

      Thank you Uncle!
      I’m glad I picked something of interest. It’s one of those things that doesn’t get many headlines, but I found entertaining.

    Ben and Cariann,

    Very interesting subject matter. Great job of production and execution. Maybe you guys have a future producing this kind of video. Cariann, you definitely have what it takes to be a science correspondent. Assuming Ben did the technical stuff, then you both make a great team!

      Thank you Rick!
      As I do it more, it becomes more comfortable. Hopefully I will stop blinking so much!
      Ben does do a great job of making me look good, and I have to think him for that.
      And…. I think we are hoping to do these kinds of videos for other people too. Once we get the hang of it here. ;)
