Science Fun: Can you identify this drawing?

[Skinner]

Yesterday, my 5-year-old son drew this picture at school, and cut it out. When he brought it home he asked me if I knew what it was. I immediately recognized it.

I just had to share. I'm curious if anyone else knows...

1. Neil DGT ! Nt

7. Yes!

Neil deGrasse Tyson in the Spaceship of the Imagination. I think the chair was the giveaway...

2. Jodie Foster's character in Contact.

On second thought, that chair was not attached to the floor....so Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson and the Ship of Imagination.

6. That was my first thought, too.

Even if it's not, I love looking at drawings made by little kids. They see the world in a much different way.

16. Me Too...

Love the drawing... love the reason.

8. My first thought was of the guy that set the world record...

...for highest free-fall jump last year. Went up in a balloon to an insane height and jumped out.

9. My first thought was Balloon Boy

10. I love Cosmos

This show has really impressed me

11. Keep that imagination going!

I haven't watched Cosmos with my 5 year old yet, but we watch a lot of that sort of thing together. Little kids (as is clearly illustrated by your son) are very susceptible to being corrupted by science and the prospects it opens up.

I'm working hard on corrupting both of my daughters into being scientist like their father when they grow up. It is an amazing world out there to be discovered and I want them to be at the forefront of it.

12. STNG? Episode was Tin Man

Weird guy from Betazed meets suicidal creature that lives in space and becomes its companion.

Creature was grey and made a chair for the weird guy in its innards.

Derived from a story from the 40s or thereabout about a cyborg spaceship whose pilot had died and who was looking for a new one (which it called a Pusher).

14. Weird Guy's Name Was. . .

18. It's the guy who flew around in a lawn chair held aloft by balloons.

My guess, without having read any replies.
