Gene Harmon? Wow, I have to correct this. Gene CERNAN was the commander of Apollo 17 and was the last person to leave footprints on the moon.

Eminem's Lose Yourself in American Sign Language

ugh says...

My sister is deaf. I know enough ASL to know this woman is truly exceptionally skilled. Not only is it accurate but also beautifully interpreted. Those of you who know more than one language know that it is never possible to directly translate almost anything. In the case of english to ASL, expressions that we may use a dozen words for are condensed into perhaps half as many signs or even less in some cases. For this song, conveying Eminem's eloquent phrasing is ASL takes an impressive amount of artistic skill beyond just having the vocabulary. Massive props.

Mesmerising! I can't read ASL, but her dancing, facial expressions and air piano are really engaging. I'd love to see here do translation for hip-hop shows more often. I watched a second time just to see if I could figure out a bit of the ASL. I suspect she's paraphrasing, at least for a lot of the slang.

We've landed on a comet!

That's a good point. A "wall" could also turn out to be the interior of a hole. Like Einstein said, it's all relative.

A "wall" is sorta a funny idea.... you can see single pictures of this comet where boulders are resting on surfaces that are perpendicular to each other. I would think pretty much any surface on this thing is good.
