I think this line's mostly filler.

The second episode of his show was not good. It got the math on acceleration for space travel completely wrong. On his blog he said he was simplifying it for the audience, but to paraphrase Einstein, things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

In an early segment he sort of simulated a meteor strike, and pointed out that the bacteria in it were killed. That was then defanged by saying that maybe a different species could have survived, and completely ignored when he later discussed the possibility that Earth life could have come from a Martian meteor.

Not a well constructed show.
