I didn't catch that {nm}

Posted by: GMov on Oct 05, 19:37 in response to second gary's post I think there is...

Gravity was great!...does anyone know why George Clooney's character was the only one with a jet pack?...if I remember right {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 19:31

I think there is... second gary Oct 05, 19:34

I didn't catch that GMov Oct 05, 19:37

I wouldn't want to place a bet, but... second gary Oct 05, 19:41

Sandra is a mission specalist,Clooney an astronaut. Different skill sets. {nm} werewolf123 Oct 05, 21:18

I thought... RogerMore Oct 05, 20:20

Ahh, yes, I think roger is correct {nm} GMov Oct 05, 20:37

maybe...but can't they have both the tether and the jet pack?...in case of emergency {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 20:37

ahh...I just looked at a pic of a jet pack (MMU) and the controls would get in the way while you're working on the shuttle {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 20:39

but my wife said: "I still wouldn't go out there unless they gave me both a tether & a jet pack!" :D {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 20:41

Your wife worries too much. What's the worst that could happen? :P {nm} Bubba_Fett Oct 06, 04:37

Yep, it's a big bulky piece of equipment that would reduce your mobility {nm} RogerMore Oct 05, 20:42

There is certainly that dialogue, i.e., about the panel Ryan is working on being new, and her area of expertise, but... second gary Oct 05, 20:44

Yes, Clooney was specifically testing out that jetpack. He made a point of thanking engineering before he tried to tell one of his stories {nm} BSmurf Oct 05, 21:33

i'd like to point out that if they had multiple jet pacs, there wouldn't be a movie {nm} Moviesnob Oct 05, 21:15

yup...but I wanted to see if that was the only reason for it {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 21:17

The way I interpreted it was that Clooney was the only "true" astronaut. The others were specialists. {nm} MiyazakiFan Oct 05, 21:16

Correct. The reason that he had the experimental propulsion Jet Pack was ... RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 05, 21:51

thanks everyone! {nm} tealfan Oct 05, 22:04

Give George a Call - see if he can get you the mini-Jet-Pack that would fit under a Sharks Jersey. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2013 Oct 05, 22:47
