The War of the Worlds (1953) Full Length Reaction

Another awesome classic sci fi! I really enjoyed this one, many goosebumps were had. It's very bleak and so much destruction! It helped that I couldn't remember the exact thing that brought down the aliens in the remake and also it's SO different, not even really comparable at all. Which one is closer to the book?

If you want you should listen and react to the Mercury Theater radio show version. Because the show was formatted as a series of news broadcasts a lot of people thought it was real and listening to it shows you why. โ€˜2X2L calling CQโ€ฆ 2X2L calling CQโ€ฆ is there anyone there?

Adtronomy lesdon time! A comet, massively huge with a diameter measured in kilometers, orbits the Sun in long eliptical orbits. Made of rock and ice, the surface ablates away and gets illuminated by the Sun forming the tail. They don't come close to the Earth (so far) and we see them approach, loop around the Sun, and go back out over a span of weeks. Haley's Comet, a famous example, repeats every 76 years. An instant streak of light in the sky - a "shooting star" - is a small rock that enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to rock/atmosphere friction at high speed. The size here is usually measured in inches. The streak of light in the sky is called a "meteor" and they burn up and never make landfall. If they are BIG - measured feet/meters, they don't entirely burn up. When what remains hits the surface then they are called "meteorites." The actual rock itself (whether it burns up or strikes) is called a meteoroid. Asteroids orbit the Sun - "Aster" meaning "star" they are effectively "star orbit rocks. Most are found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Meteoroids encounter Earth's atmosphere, and are effectively "atmosphere burn-up rocks.")

The goggles. They do nothing. Great callback to Rainier Wolfcastle's Radioactive Man. Up and Adum!
