Breaking down a bit on the possibilities and my input for Apollo 11 Astronauts VS Astronomers. Feel free to read and give your thoughts or ignore.

For the Astronomers, I see in my mind 6 possible people.

1. Galileo

2. Carl Sagan

3. Archimedes

4. Johanes Kepler

5. Nicolaus Copernicius

6. Tycho Brahe

Now me myself, we've had Hawking, Bill Nye, and Neil Tyson. I personally don't want to see Carl Sagan. Although ERB might want to throw Sagan into the mix to have some variety with the teams. The team I'd like to see myself would be:

Galileo, Archimedes, and Kepler.

Now Brahe and Copernicius are JUST as important, and it'd be subject to change overtime who would be more "worthy." though I believe all 6 of these people mentioned above are of equal worthiness for ERB.

They've all done different things to benefit their specific field of astrology, and it'd be up to ERB what they did.

But I have a bit of an issue with the whole Apollo 11 Astronauts VS Astronomers matchup.

The astronauts are just that--astronauts, they went up in space on a mission to be the first men on the moon, and they did that, they were together, they had something in common. They all went to the moon TOGETHER, in the same ship.

The astronomers, though working in the same field of research, have NOTHING in common, and most likely never met eachother at all, or maybe even HEARD of eachother.

This kind of makes me feel a bit "odd" about the matchup. West VS East wasn't like that, though they were different philosophers, most HEARD of eachother, and both teams had the balance of people that weren't with eachother, so it doesn't matter if they didn't.

But with the Astronomers VS Apollo 11 Astronauts matchup, these are two totally different backgrounds, one being a bit unbalanced within the matchup.

I personally believe it to be a decent suggestion though. But I think that it would be a bit stupid to include that many people in one battle. Why waste them? You could easily do them seperately for different battles at different points.

Thoughts?
