Duque's impromptu retort to Ponce and Broncano: "Is that still your desire?"
Chuckle-Worthy Galactic Adventure: Pedro Duque, Spain's first astronaut, jumps into David Broncano's show, proving that science and humor aren't mutually exclusive. Known as the former Minister of Spain, Duque catches everyone off guard with his humorous response to Jorge Ponce's inquiries about the Interstellar movie and celebs, like Leonardo DiCaprio and Risto Mejide, who love younger partners: "I've never thought of a better answer," exclaimed Malaga's comic, David Broncano.
Cosmic Cinema
Duque introduced his new kid’s book, "Stellar Sojourns," a mix of science and space-themed tales. Similarly, he appreciated films such as Apollo 13 for their realism: "That's spot-on, exactly like it happens, the same situations, the same interactions...", Duque told Broncano.
Seizing the moment, Jorge Ponce presented an amusing hypothesis regarding the Interstellar movie, where an hour on a planet near a supermassive black hole equals seven years. Thus, Ponce reckoned, folks like DiCaprio and Mejide, who adore those much younger, could "go for a couple of hours" and, upon return, would be "at least of legal age." None, not even Broncano, anticipated Duque's chuckle-inducing remark: "And... would they still fancy it?", quipped Duque.
Technical Approach
Duque's résumé speaks volumes, and he manages to keep his wit and decency, even when answering the inevitable questions. In fact, he deployed an engineer's clever trick to offer a suitable answer to Broncano: a mortgage-type response of about €500,000 (+/- €400,000), and 15 romantic relationships (+/- 10).
