The phases of the Moon are caused by the Earth’s shadow:

Brian Cox wrote, “I apparently said in a radio interview that the phases of the Moon are caused by the Earth’s shadow, which is clearly bollocks! Unless I was talking about a lunar eclipse, I can’t understand what I must have been thinking. Probably the end of a long day.” [37] Steve C wrote, “Here’s a fact for you: Brian Cox believes that the phases of the Moon are caused by the shadow of the Earth falling on the surface of the Moon. This was broadcast on BBC Radio Wales on 19th January 2012. I have the recording if anyone wants it, and I have been trying to ‘undo’ this damage in conversation with people for weeks since. For me, any suggestion of scientific credibility he held prior to this collapsed in on itself instantly.” [38] T

i really dont like this guy… he has this annoying way of staring into the camera to make his statements seem more profound!
Oh BBC! just because he looks justin bieber, doesnt mean physics and astrology are going to be cool all of a sudden

“bacon-flavoured crystals that astronauts can survive on in space”
If we could persuade the Palestinians to move to the Moon. Do you think this would obviate the possibility of them being plagued by future illegal settlement? I wonder if Brian has ever brought his brilliant brain to bear on the posit, that it might be a good idea to sort out the mess we’re making here. Before venturing into the business of exporting it.

Nice to get a reprise of the race to the moon, especially with some little seen TV footage from the time, but to skip straight from Alan Shepard’s sub-orbital hop to the Apollo 1 fire, missing the whole of the Mercury and Gemini programs (with their scary early space-walks), was disappointing, despite the limited time available.
