Man... the guy was acting even douchier than I recalled.
 
lol

The follow-up video with the Mythbusters was great too (and also showed the punch along with the Judge's resolution of "You had it coming!").  Good stuff.
 
I wonder who these asshats think put the mirror on the moon?  You know, the one that you can shine a laser off of that's used to determine the distance of the moon from Earth?

RE: "think"
 
They don't.

I can forgive him for being a bit of a pillock, because he co-wrote (and was very good in) Gavin & Stacey, one of my favourite comedies.

 
Corden and  Rob Brydon ???
 

 
 
You seem like a good man James, but if we should somehow ever find ourselves having to watch the same tv some day, I'm having the remote, okay ?
 
 

It was the writing that made that show, the peripheral characters were just brilliant, like Pete and Dawn and Stacey's nan. Brydon was superb in it as Uncle Bryn.

Do I gather form gist of the OP that NASA has given up on Ricky Gervais?

Gervais has gone up inestimably in my opinion.
 
This helped...

That's one of those "Fake" moon landing conspiracy wackaloons essentially calling Buzz Aldrin a liar... and Buzz not putting up with that shiznock for a lunar second.

I think it was Aldrin who commented that when you think of the huge amount of time and money it would have required to hoax the Moon landings - including building all the many launchers, capsules and huge amounts of other equipment used from the Mercury project onwards - because the thousands of people in the factories had to be designing and building what they thought were viable components or they wouldn't be fooled - and the many tens if not hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world who would have known it was a hoax and have to keep quiet for ever, including in the USSR, China, UK, France, Australia and every other place with radars with a range of more than a few hundred miles....

It would be much simpler and far cheaper just to set up a space programme and send people to the Moon and back.

Funny ... and maybe I just missed it, but I didn't find one mention of Uranus in this entire thread.

OK, so I looked up James Corden and now this thread makes no sense.  Why would NASA foot the bill and not the UKSA? 
 

so some form of instrumentation has always been employed in an attempt to view this elusive attribute

 
... and even if the UKSA had a need to perform a talent search, what sort of "instrumentation" seeks out talent?  Are they going to strap Simon Cowell to a satellite?
