Big Brain Theory – 2013

STEVENSON RANCH; CALIFORNIA; NOVEMBER 02 2012: During the elimination process, Big Brain Theory’s host Kal Penn, the show’s judges Christine Gulbranson (Nanotechnologist and Renewable Energy Investor), Mark Fuller (Owner of WET, red shirt) and guest judge Mike Massimino (Nasa astronaut and Engineer, blue shirt), address the contestants after the test, during which both their projects failed and exploded. Each team built an apparatus that they hoped would limit the G-force applied to explosives on the back of two pick-up trucks as they collided at approximately 35 mph; avoiding an explosion.
