    Hmm. Nissan Altima TV commercial boasts NASA inspired zero-gravity seats. But if you're in zero gravity, you don't need seats

        @neiltyson And if you have zero gravity in a Nissan Altima, you probably have bigger issues than your seat.

        @neiltyson The average American is so used to a sedentary lifestyle as to require seats in a zero g environment.

        @neiltyson Inertia? Conservation of Momentum? Possible uses for a seat, I suppose.

        @neiltyson @4lala "Inspired by" does not mean "related to." This also explains the "I, Robot" movie, credited as inspired by Asimov's books
