Excellent point. Some can’t comprehend deeper physiological analysis as it relates to sports science. Hopefully they keep to the shallow end of the pool.

Fascinating response. Do you know of any other humans who wield similar skills? Didn’t think so. Great post.

It would be one small step for Burly but one giant leap for mankind. Not sure how Oli would feel. Discuss.
Forrest Gump went into space. Not the movie Forrest, but the book Forrest.
Astute observation. Burly needs a space-orangutan to watch his back.

He may have hotshot. I wouldn’t put it past him. Who else could it have been? Great post.

Would Burly float in space or is his gravitational pull just to much?

Your post seems to suggest Burly would be under-qualified? Peak physical conditioning and high baseball IQ = astronaut. Your post was on OT so we’ll let this one slide.
It’s pretty well known that East Carolina develops some of the finest minds and explorers this nation has ever seen. Reportedly, the university taught quantum physics in the gym at the recommendation of Alec so that he could broaden his horizons while doing five hundred calf raises an hour.
Your post is misleading. Burly was known to exceed five thousand calf raises per hour, breaking the sound barrier. Great historical observation though.

1.4 calf raises per second. You know what? The math checks out. My bad. I forgot to carry a zero. Or something.

Great point. Will have to defer to NASA or Oli’s judgment to make appropriate risk assessment.

I think that William Shatner needs to take Burly under his wing. He has much deep space experience and Burly is a willing learner and very hard worker.

I can't wait for the next fascinating topic from Shady's boy.
Easy Bub. Mods advise against discussing family matters. Son of Shady on thin ice, but still in the game. Son of Shady a tough out.

Good point. Burly has Captain Kirk’s leadership and Mr. Spock’s intellect. Do you think Sagesse would be a good first mate?

No. Shady wants him to get a utility role with the big birds until Burly settles down the outer space thing.
