The Mad American Wrote:My wife and I have loved this show for a long time. They have my dream job. I would love to be able to do what they do...so cool.
I also thought they have the coolest jobs on the planet. I was wondering what it would take for me to get one of those jobs. First thing, I'd need have been born a few decades later that I was.
It would also help to be someone who really knows how to build things out of nothing with no plan handed to you and do it quickly and well. That's a dream of mine, too, to learn my way around a tool shop. I heard Adam tell one of the younger crew to build a catapult in two days because that's the standard turn around time for them.
YIKES! Build a catapult from scratch in two days!!
I have an appreciation for physics and chemistry, so I can watch the show and get what they are saying. But to come up with the formulas to figure out how to test their theories, then build whatever they need, and then destroy it in a scientific fashion...wow, that takes a comfort and understanding of physics and chemistry that I just don't have at my fingertips.
Ahh...so many dreams, so little ability.
