Audio problem: When Penny walks out after Sheldon helps her with her game, we see Leonard start the music but the speaker doesn't start vibrating for over a second after the music has started. It should have started at the same time.(00:07:40)
Factual error: There is not a snowball's chance of Howard becoming an astronaut. He suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, something about which he is completely open. "Transient" or not this is easily detectable by a simple electrocardiogram, which is a fundamental part of the many medical examinations a potential astronaut will have to pass. He wouldn't even be allowed to start basic training. Note also that during his basic training he shows signs of severe stress and trauma which would inevitably trigger a cardiac episode. Even if it didn't the fact that he was falling apart at the seams would have him removed from the programme for his own good.
Stephen Hawking: Do you like brain teasers? Sheldon Cooper: Oh, I love brain teasers. Stephen Hawking: What do Sheldon Cooper and a black hole have in common? They both suck. Neener, neener.
Question: Though it comes up in other episodes as well, this one is focused on Sheldon needing a ride everywhere he goes because he can't drive, not to mention his not being welcome on the bus. Of course, this story element would be nonexistent if there was a simple answer, but it does beg the question: Does Pasadena not have taxicabs?
Chosen answer:It does. The variable cleanliness of the cab and the habit of taxi drivers to engage customers in small talk would be too much for Sheldon to handle, and not an option for him.
