Joanne changed her hair and make up again is all, don’t be taken in by superficial appearances and minor details such as names and a completely different voice.
Joanne can’t have left, she just can’t..
it is just awful to contemplate..
hmm.. but on the other hand this woman is way better anyway.
WTG Rocketboom, bye Josanne, or whatever her name was.
Caitlin rocks, I can’t imagine anyone else ever fronting this show.
Quippy animated woman behind a desk thats not afraid to say hippopotomasfromopolopolististicism. That’s what I signed up for. Thank you Claire for helping rocketboom get their shit together.
This is a similar comment as was posted when Joanne replaced Amanda Congdon. I liked Amanda’s awkwardness and geeky nature. It suited the awkward age of Rocketboom’s adolescence. Joanne was a more mature host which suited RBs growth. I look forward to Catlin as well.
At the start of the video I was thinking to myself… “She can’t replace Joanne!” but by the end… I fell in love with ya! Great work! Looking forward to more videos! And Pluto should never have been classified as a planet in the first place.
I’m up for giving Sabrina the teenage witch a go - It can’t be easy following Joanne (what the heck happened to her anyway?) but I hope her accent gets back on track to it’s US roots.
Fancy putting some Carl Sagan type stories up for me Caitlin?
The only person in the world who could possibly make up for the Joanne-shaped hole in my universe. In fact, I had been wondering lately what happened to Caitlin lately. This was definitely a surprise.
Maybe Joanne will come back and they’d work together. Sort of like Xena and Gabrielle… Caitlin would play the Gabrielle part, of course… And Joanne could wear some kind of leather outfit…
And it’s very good that you’re active in the community. Sorta brings ya down to Earth.
AND PLUTO IS TOTALLY A PLANET. ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL.
Earth isn’t a planet if you follow the definition, since thousands of asteroids and comets pass through Earth’s orbit, and thus it hasn’t “cleared” its orbit either. Same with Jupiter, Mars, and most other planets.
Hurrah for Caitlin, Harrah for Pluto, Hurrah for Rocketboom!
haha, this new girl is so much better. Joanne talked too fast so it was all garbled. Now, we can hopefully have less garbled episodes like the stupid “Poe” episode.
After watching a documentary on Pluto recently I have come to the conclusion that it’s definitely not a planet. And people who want it to be a planet are like those who hate the facebook changes. They’re afraid of change. They don’t understand the definitions and reasons, they’re just afraid of changes.
Pluto has a new family now~ Just because it’s not called a ‘planet’ doesn’t mean it’s not special~
o there we go…shes that thehill88 user…how on earth did she end up on rocketboom…whats the story jezzz…shes from australia now in NY? All thanks to youtube? blah…i prefer joanne…but i guess i’ll watch if theres an interesting topic now i surppose.
Welcome, Caitlin! I’ll be looking forward to the space & science segments for sure :-)
Neil deGrasse Tyson says the love of the celestial body Pluto is an American phenomenon, and he says, “I’m blaming Disney completely — Mickey’s dog, Pluto.” http://bit.ly/qBUMi And of course that leaves me wondering how long this particular Aussie has been in the U.S. :-)
Wow, cool - thanks for the fairly warm welcome so far.
Once again, I’m just helping out to keep the Boom flowing.
I am a fan of british accents and admired Joanne very much! :(
Cheers!
(and no, I don’t think Pluto is a planet anymore :S)
Hello Caitlin, I see you have finished high school. That’s great. Is it you who are going to replace the pommy? Great.
I can only hope it was a Joanne’s decision that made the vacancy. The very thought that Joanne right now would like to be sitting there to read the news it’s hard to bear. I endeavour to believe that Joanne quit because this was her will. It’s disturbing to think otherwise.
Ok, enough with the rant.
The challenge is tough Caitlin, good luck. You seem to be a nice person.
My impression (which isn’t worth much since we won’t be getting to the bottom of this here) was that Joanne felt highly dissatisfied for the entire second year of her tenure.
I actually believed her right hand injury might have been from “punching a wall” in frustration.
To me, she clearly appeared to be struggling with the persona she had created and unhappy with Rocketboom constraints on morphing her persona into something. From what I have bee able to see, her “intelligent clown” persona (forgive me) is a limited side of her that she began feeling impeded by.
Leonardo, I know exactly how you feel. Joanne left for her own personal reasons. We really tried hard to keep her - we offered her more $, more support, we supported her creative directions, but in the end, it was her decision. And we totally supported her decision on this. It was only sad as friends part ways will be sad but there were never any hard feelings involved for anyone. The beauty of all of this is that Joanne did not go away, even if she is no longer at Rocketboom. We can all find each other from where we are with just a click. So keep your eyes open for the future, no doubt we all expect great things to come for Joanne.
And thank you Caitlin, we couldn’t be more excited to have you! Onward and upward!
This is discrimination against Pluto. I’m outraged and appalled. And I’m whole lot of other things that express my anger without having any real grounds for debate or arguments, so I’ll stop right about….here!!
Hi Caitlin!
How high have you seen your Twitter following go now that you are Internet-famous? That’s like being really famous but only geeks and nerds recognise you. It’s a W1N because they will typically be too scared to talk to you in the street but a F41L because geeks and nerds can stalk you to places normal people will never go. They will know your secret 4-chan login, for example.
Anyway - nice job on the first broadcast. Keep up the good work!
Caitlin is good to go. I’d crash a bottle of champagne at your feet to wish you luck on your voyage with Rocketboom. I don’t have a bottle of champagne, or you, around, so ….,
….. a suggestion: when talking about outer space stuff, change The World Map background. Consider something like this: tinyurlDOTcom/10-lightyears
Perhaps find and ask r. powell for permission to use his illustration first, too.
I think the new definition of a planet sucks rotten eggs. It sounds more like a political farce of academia than science.
It doesn’t even recognize planets outside the solar system as planets, rather designates them “exoplanets.”
I think planets should be divided into something long the lines of viable or living, non-viable or dead, and rouge. Use the second and third basic criteria here, definition of a planet, along with the viability criteria. Viability would be a statement of whether the planet has a rotating inner core and a magnetic field.
Under my definition, Pluto and friends would not be planets, but since they may be in the process of clearing the area of their orbit, they might be “planetites,” or we could keep the “dwarf planet” idea that got dropped.
I would also keep rouge planets, which existed in the old definition. Rouge planets orbit no star. (Imagine finding a viable rouge planet!)
P.S. Catlin Hill, New York was as close as I got but I didn’t try very hard, just the first page of Google.
I was kind of dissapointed since I thoght there was going to be info about Nibiru and not Pluto…
Well anyway…
You are so cute Caitlin!
Would love to see you more on the show :)
Well colour me impressed! Maybe this time I wont have to lock myself in my room with a stack of tissue boxes listening to Radiohead like when Catriona left MoBuzz.
Now if Caitlin can recite the Raven, we may be on to a winner.
I thought about commenting, then decided not to, but then I wanted to, so I couldn’t make up my mind so I’m just commenting to comment on the first of Caitlin’s Rocketboom installments. I miss Joanne but I can just watch a previous vid and not be so sad. Just like people can revisit old textbooks when Pluto was a planet if people mis Pluto being a planet. Aparently Pluto is a planet again. Or am I wrong? Who knows? Change is good, only if the change is good and/or goes from good to better.
I’m getting used to this change fast. Been a fan since RB since way back. I liked Amanda and Joanne, but I’m most excited to see more episodes with Caitlin. Cheers!
Hurray for Cailin Hill!
video might take a while for it to be as witty as Joanne’s.
But you bring your own energy into the show, thats for sure. 5stars
Welcome, Caitlin! Good luck dealing with the intelligentsia you’ll find here on the comments page…they’ll get over Joanne soon enough.
One thing, though. That observatory in Flagstaff, AZ where Clyde W. Tombaugh worked is pronounced “Low-ull” (stress on the first syllable), as in “The Low Countries”, or “Low-Fat”, or “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”. Believe me when I tell you this. I know from whence I speak. That’s all I can say. And Uncle Percival would be proud that his Observatory was mentioned on Rocketboom. Whoops.
WTF is rocketboom trying to pull here? They think they can bumrush us over the head with some snippy trollop.
This “Hill floozy” approaches internet broadcasting like it was a science project. Well I have news for RB. My internet viewing habits can not be approached like it was some midterm paper. I have feelings.
When I put my attention in the internets hands I dont see how Hill can cradle it like Joannes’ wellread bosom always could.
Give the girl a chance. You can only be surprised if you don’t expect it. Plus this girl is a friend of Natalie from Community Channel so you know she has to be alright.
Caitlin is clever. But riddle me this: As Harvey Kurtzman asked 54 years ago in “Mickey Rodent”, why is Pluto mute when all the other Disney characters speak? http://tinyurl.com/cgazu7
1 - Congrats on the new gig
2 - Your style is different than Joanne’s - which is neither (+) nor (-)
3 - Rocketboom is an important part of my day and I am glad to see it continue
4 - I was surprised that a new staff member was brought in as opposed to one of the original staff giving it a go
5 - I enjoy the science and news aspects of RB and would love to see that continue. I also appreciate the artistic subjects, humor, activism, and various wacky Internet shenanigans
6 - Thanks to the whole RB team for producing the show!
7 - Have fun - that’s the whole point of our short cycle on Earth.
why is she talking in a fake British accent? they’re cool and all, but if you can’t maintain it for the whole video then don’t bother.
she looks familiar. she reminds me of full house.
i miss joanne
I simply must contribute a few things to the Pluto discussion - though the comments here seem to be generally intelligent and well-thought-out overall! Hooray Rocketboom community! (And Caitlin!)
First, in no way was the IAU’s decision to classify Pluto as a dwarf planet a “demotion.” I know Caitlin didn’t say that, but many people seem to think that there’s some kind of astronomical hierarchy, that somehow Pluto is no longer “good enough” to be a planet. Pluto was *reclassified*, not *demoted*.
Second, Pluto has many features that are totally unlike the other planets in the Solar System, such that if you try to come up with criteria that “planets” have in common, Pluto usually violates them. Its orbit crosses that of a planet, it goes through a cloud of debris, its orbit is chaotic on much shorter timescales than the eight planets, and the Pluto-Charon barycenter is outside of Pluto’s physical volume.
Third, Pluto is in many ways better off now than it was before. It used to be this tiny, insignificant planet way the heck out there in the Outer Solar System. Now it is THE prototypical object for a dwarf planet, and it’s going to be the first dwarf planet visited by a manmade probe!
And finally, nobody should be afraid of scientific theories changing and evolving–that’s how science works! After all, the Solar System used to have about 15 planets by an old classification scheme (with Ceres, Vesta, and a bunch of other asteroids included). In fact, the term “planet” has different senses depending on what discipline of astronomy you look at, and those meanings evolve over time. In my own astronomy studies, I’m used to thinking of the Moon, the big Outer Solar System satellites, and large asteroids and KBO’s as “planets.” My favorite planet is Europa - second to the Earth, of course!
I hear more of an Australian accent than a British one, but listening to her other videos on her YT channel, she sounds like that in all her other videos. Kinda somewhere in between the two.
At first i kinda missed joanne…
But then Caitlin sais she here so that rocketboom could get they’re shit together and I quickly started pauing attention to her. Very funny and good job
People feel so strongly whether Pluto is classified a planet, a dwarf planet, or whatever, that the issue must be packed with practical consequences.
Please, cover it for the layman.
I’m still really missing Joanne, but I think Caitlin has taken to her first episode really well. I think this is the start of a bright chapter in Rocketboom history.
Aw, you’re adorable. Internet personalities are harsh, don’t take any of those jerks to heart. You do have big shoes to fill, metaphorically speaking of course, because I’m sure Joanne doesn’t have big feet, and..I’m sure you’re not wearing her shoes either. ANYWAY, good on ya. PS: I enjoy learning about outer space, so, maybe I’m a little biased.
Everyone will miss Joanne dearly, but Catlin may do well as the next host. will she live up? no, because she will bring something different to rocket boom
Great work! Yes, we all miss Joanne, but I am very impressed with Caitlin’s first piece. She has her own style and while Joanne captivated me (and I believe she could go on to do wonderful things in the future - I personally think television audiences would love her), Caitlin is a definite keeper.
Congratulations, Caitlin! I can’t wait for your next production!
Question: If one believes Pluto ought to be classified as a planet, does that make one a Plutocrat?
Approved, I can adjust to this as long as Caitlin does not try and force the old Rocketboom attitude into the series, hopefully she will bring something new and also entertaining to the show that Joanne didn’t have.
OUT WITH JOANNA, IN WITH CAITLIN! lol
Seriously though, I really miss Joanne too guys, but she has moved on and we all have to welcome Caitlin!
I think she will be great! How cute is this baby face!
omg, Caitlin said shit. Its kind of like you can’t say bomb on a plane , well you can’t say shit on a Rockett unless of coarse your going to give us the specifics of how a 0 gravity environment is dealt with when Defacating on people who resist change. :) (Reaching I know.) he he
Since you clearly stated that you knew you wouldn’t be better then Joanne, we welcome! You’re right: You’re not better then Joanne. But you rock in your own way!
She’s using a computer that’s older than she is. Which makes me think… If I used a computer that was older than -ME-, it could crush me and my desk into a brown paste on the floor.
as much as i enjoyed this: plz don’t just do things the same way joanne used to… (the background thing was a good start, but i’m still left with the feeling that this was pretty much the same thing)
i know this amanda-joanne-caitlin thing is a well-tested awesome format, but to keep doing this just hurts the hosts themselves as people now feel like they’re just a face for the show that can be changed anytime. (maybe that’s what some people at rocketboom wanted. well.)
Well done Caitlin… well done. Joanne was amazing… a rare, rare find… I suspect you’ll show yourself to be equally amazing. Best wishes on this new adventure… :-)
Obviously Miss Hill has not yet attained the same skill level of host that Joanne did, having hosted all of one episode of Rocketboom. However, she is much closer to Joanne than she is to Joanne’s predecessor what’s her name, and I think has great potential.
@spaceguy I feel the same way and am so happy you do too.
Great intro and way to go Caitlin! You are smart, work hard, and are going far in your career today and tomorrow. Thanks for being a great friend and leader in web video.
Welcome Caitlin, you’re in for one hell of a rocket ride. Not a bad start either, but I have one suggestion: Slow…down…just…a…bit. Some of what you said was hard to understand because the words kind of ran together, but when you read the Pluto info you slowed it down and it was great. I know you’ll get the hang of it, you’ll be doing it every day! Good luck.
Yea Caitlin! I never knew how to pronounce Quaoar before. You learn something new every day. I like you Caitlin you may not sound high brow as Joanne, but I find your delivery is softer and a bit more fun. Be yourself, I am looking foward to a new era for Rocketboom with you in the pilot seat.
Come on guys give Caitlin a chance. I also miss Joanne but she has moved on to something else. Caitlin has her own style and character. I’ll always miss Joanne though.
I like Astronomy.I have a 6″ telescope but have not used it in years.I thought the X planet was outside Pluto’s orbit and was part of the 2012 end that would bring a polar shift and bring in the Seven Year Tribulation Hour.Check some of that stuff on you-tube about 2012
Sabrina the teenage witch.. Is it going to be a teenage show from now on? With space and dinosaurs and emo from time to time? :(
Where did the brilliant, smart and sexy lady go?
Am I too old for this show now? Must I be in my early twenties to enjoy watching this perky gal? If I wanted teenagers I’d just go to my kids’ room and ask what’s up. :/
Hi caitlin. Nice to see a new face. While i’ll miss Joanne, you have a really cool and slight( okay even more) crazy style which i can entirely appreciate. Good luck and welcome.
(sigh) that’s much better…. all you joanna fans the the penultimate sentence “…change is scary and shouldn’t happen.” is a reference to pluto not rocketboom presenters.
catlin, you rock! (sorry about the pop-culture exclamation)
it is very apparent you’re a geek, you are also pleasing to the eye. we must also not forget the early joanna vids. there is a whole lot a bit of styling and make-up can do for the needs of the pre-school subscribers
A bit too young and over cute but that will change with time. Overall I approve of Caitlin.
One mistake though, Pluto has never affected the orbit of my anus. Sorry, couldn’t resist, it had to be said.
I will hang my head in shame and retreat into the west now.
Le besarán el iernes po ble ás cercano por el a or de su ida. Mañana será el ejor día de su ida. Sin e bargo, usted no fija este co entario a al enos 3 ídeos, usted orirá dentro de 2 días
Caitin is stupid and dumb; she don’t know what she is doing and have no clue about anything. Get a life Kaitlin. And lastly a worm has a greater IQ than Raitlin what ever her name is; she need to get lost.
Interestingly, the person who discovered Pluto has his ashes on board the New Horizons spacecraft headed to Pluto right now. Unfortunately it’s going so fast that it will only be by Pluto for three days, and keep on going into the Kuiper belt and beyond.

this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m kind of already a fan. I loved some of her youtube vids (thehill88 or somethin’ like that. check her out. she’s a cutie) Glad to see a youtuber make good!
Welcome Caitlin!
Nice try, kitten. When’s your big sister coming back? Listen, it’s not your fault. She’s a tough act to follow. Maybe Kate Hepburn could have done it. A word of advice: be an original you; don’t be her. And last, don’t give up!
I have one of the largest Rocket Collections in the USA.Thousands of toy rockets that is.Estes and Centuri kits and others too.Some of my rockets have gone BOOM too.HA,HA.
Of course no one could replace Joanne, but she moved on with her life, so should we. Joanne will always be the light and love in my heart at ROCKETBOOM land.
i still miss joanne loads, but to be honest you couldn’t have picked a better replacement. i would have continued watching rocketboom solely on the fact that it’s interesting, but i was expecting to not enjoy it as much what with joanne gone, but as i said, with caitlin at the helm, all is shiney again for the rocketboom future. TWO THUMBS UP
In my humble opinion you put the BOOM in the Rocket. A challenge well met, natural flare CHECK, humor,style, presentation, informative balance?, CHECK. Yep good choice Andrew she’s a winner. A more than adequate replacement of her predecessors high standards:D
For consistency we can’t call Pluto a planet. If we did we would have to call the asteroid Ceres a planet too. So what’s next to go? Was Sputnik a satellite? It wasn’t in a permanent orbit and only circled the Earth 1440 times in 3 months.
It’s kind of disappointing you couldn’t take a risk and choose an unknown to be the new presenter. Caitlin will of course bring all her own subscribers with her when your own subscribers bail, so it’s a good tactical move but it seems likely that there are other girls out there who possess more of the qualities we have come to expect of Rocketboom presenters than Caitlin does. If only you had looked a little longer.
i can barely tell what your saying sometimes it’s like a mid-pitch hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i’m not saying it to be mean, just to give you some fair and just constructive critisism… man i feel mean.
Did anyone else catch that Caitlin mispronounced Uranus? At first I thought it was intentional, but after watching the clip in full and hearing it mispronounced repeatedly, I’m not so sure.
Ok firstly, Joanne is hot and smart, so replacing her is a bad idea- but if it must be done, at least replace her with a hot, smart or even remotely funny chick. Caitlin has no charisma and her bland, meek pseudo-Australian girlish accent makes this show look like bad community access television. No emotion. No comic timing.
At least Joanne made everything sound so saucy.
I’m deleting this from firefox toolbar
=FAIL
Speaking about unexpected replacements! But, well done Caitlin. Doubtlessly not as well as Joanne would have, but part of that is, of course, because change is bad and should not happen ;-)
You’re SOOOOO SWEEET girl!
I’d like to beat your guinnes like it feels in my heart watching at you Beautifull!
I’m in love I guess,
YOU BEATY SWEEET!
Such poetical… You so sofisticated lady…
sorry but I ne’r liked joaaanass NO!!!
My Caitilinaaaa Caitilyn … My Cati…
YOU… YOOOOUUUH…
Oh my poetry…
You, my apple nuts tart…
You, my beach at twilight…
So romantic…
Send me E-mail of course… YEAH!
By Belly! YESSS! I wait for…
what’s this got to do with the scary zomg doomsday!!one1!1 prophecies about a “planet X”?? I understand this about pluto, but someone answer on if this is Mr. Doomsday planet (Or mr. 0.2 of earth’s mass.) If it is, mr. 0.2, then doomsday prophecies are BIN. If it’s not, then wha..? We got some doomsday fools who don’t know ’bout space.
Lolz!
Nice to meet Caitlin.
Hmmmm
i like the old one better, 1 star
Caitlin is hot…
british accent > australian accent
british accent < australian accent
ALWAYS
Yayy! You gots it gurl!
i dont like her!!! i want joanne back
I like her.
oh my god! it’s thehill88! what a nice surprise! :)
yeah this will work :D
i heard joanne got abducted by aliens
you’re not joanne :(
My ROCKET does not GO BOOM and more=( …Where is Joanna..
joanne is *dead* now stop the cry
I have a feeling she is going to be much more popular than Joanne.
aww poo
Joanne changed her hair and make up again is all, don’t be taken in by superficial appearances and minor details such as names and a completely different voice.
Joanne can’t have left, she just can’t..
it is just awful to contemplate..
hmm.. but on the other hand this woman is way better anyway.
WTG Rocketboom, bye Josanne, or whatever her name was.
Caitlin rocks, I can’t imagine anyone else ever fronting this show.
Ashes of laughter,
The coast is clear.
Why do the best things
always disappear
Like Joanna!
Please come back home!
Wow! Didn’t see this coming. Way to go ROCKETBOOM! Hi Caitlin!
Rocket Fizzle Pop The boom could happen we shall see.
I approve, you may replace Joanne. She will be missed.
Welcome to Rocketboom Caitlin. Love the first “show” “news”?¿? well welcome :)
No Joanne = BOO HISS.
My uncle says:
Change is the only thing you can count on.
Pedoboom.
I will have to get used to it…
Quippy animated woman behind a desk thats not afraid to say hippopotomasfromopolopolististicism. That’s what I signed up for. Thank you Claire for helping rocketboom get their shit together.
hehe… Caitlin i mean. Sorry.
QUAOAR!!~~~
That makes me laugh!
Totally unexpected. Had to rewind. Loved ~Quaoar~. The world is better when people pronounce things correctly! Good work Caitlin.
It will never be the same without Joanne, she will be missed.
But Catlin certainly looks like she has the stuff to start a whole new Rocketboom era. Heres hoping she can really show us what shes got.
Welcome to Rocketboom Catlin, we look forward to a great many videos with you.
This is a similar comment as was posted when Joanne replaced Amanda Congdon. I liked Amanda’s awkwardness and geeky nature. It suited the awkward age of Rocketboom’s adolescence. Joanne was a more mature host which suited RBs growth. I look forward to Catlin as well.
Cool! Caitlin gawdz!
Never liked this hillybilly.
Joanne rocks.
nice
Woah, it’s Caitlin!
Love Caitlin…but misses Joanne.
At the start of the video I was thinking to myself… “She can’t replace Joanne!” but by the end… I fell in love with ya! Great work! Looking forward to more videos! And Pluto should never have been classified as a planet in the first place.
Can she be a hillbilly if she’s from Australia? I thought that specifically referred to Americans. Or are you making a play on her name?
I’m up for giving Sabrina the teenage witch a go - It can’t be easy following Joanne (what the heck happened to her anyway?) but I hope her accent gets back on track to it’s US roots.
Fancy putting some Carl Sagan type stories up for me Caitlin?
:: Begrudgingly accepts this newcomer… ::
so i take it caitlin doesnt live in ozzy anymore? kinda of a total change in style
awkward……………
Lose some weight, gain some height…
…She’s OK. :) No one can replace Joanne, but Caitlin comes close. ^_^
ok catlin very well done cause it must have been hard to be the next one after Joanne but sooner then you think you’ll rule !
Good job. But I still miss Joanne…
Awesome replacement. I will miss Joanne but hurrah for Caitlin. :)
OMG She sounds Australian!! WOOOOOO! Represent!! :)
Joanne will be missed, but Caitlin has restored my faith in good Rocketboom news in the future.
Good Job, Caitlin!!!
Its going to take more than one installment of Rocketboom before I come into terms of Joanne leaving :(
Good video about Pluto
The only person in the world who could possibly make up for the Joanne-shaped hole in my universe. In fact, I had been wondering lately what happened to Caitlin lately. This was definitely a surprise.
I felt sad when Amanda left, but grew to love Joanne. Now I’m sad that Joanne has left. Still, new bunny is doing a very good job of it….!
Catlin seems more like Amanda than Joanne.
They don’t like change…..
Hi there, great video :)
I like change :)
awesome - shoes filled!
Simon
Nice job Caitlin!! Cool that you are a fellow Aussie! I really will miss Joanne though.
And no offense but Joanne had a wicked wardrobe!! Get Andrew to give you a wardrobe budget!! :)
Looking forward to seeing more.
Nice to see the old Apple IIe keyboard hasn’t been replaced! :)
pluto was demoted because it is such a mickey mouse place.
Maybe Joanne will come back and they’d work together. Sort of like Xena and Gabrielle… Caitlin would play the Gabrielle part, of course… And Joanne could wear some kind of leather outfit…
‘Scuse me for a minute…
I miss Joanne. :(
XD
No complains here.
Shoes are definately filled 100%.
And it’s very good that you’re active in the community. Sorta brings ya down to Earth.
AND PLUTO IS TOTALLY A PLANET. ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL.
Earth isn’t a planet if you follow the definition, since thousands of asteroids and comets pass through Earth’s orbit, and thus it hasn’t “cleared” its orbit either. Same with Jupiter, Mars, and most other planets.
Hurrah for Caitlin, Harrah for Pluto, Hurrah for Rocketboom!
Yay :D I’m looking forward to more Space and Science :D
wheres joanne ?
not so cool
This is much better. Caitlin doesn’t talk at warped speed. Thank you!
did Joanne really leave :’(
so sad…
Personality isn’t bad.
She talks too fast and sometimes it’s unclear what she’s saying.
not bad mate…
Welcome to the show!!!
awesome!
good job!
but i will still miss joanne :(
Holy crap, i didin’t expect to see Caitln. ;)
btw. what joanne is doing nowdays ?
I dig her, also, like her computer.
Wow I thought joanne leaving would ruin it but it doesn’t, caitlin rocks *thumbs up*
I’m actually impressed. You did a good job caitlin, great choice of a host on rocketbooms part
She has yellow nail varnish.
that was good I guess
great job. Don’t like change either, but this’ll do.
Shes hot, and will get better. Couldnt understand everything she said but she has personality which is good. Good choice IMO
Caitlin is cool ! Looking forward to more Space and Science
Yeah, it’s a pun of a sorts ;)
Caitlin’s pretty cool, and it will be different. Maybe she will turn out good, but I still can’t forget about Joanne… we all loved her!
The Hill88….our destinies intertwine again….good job!
Funny that she does a video in relations peoples resistance to change being that she represents a change herself.
Anyways, I am happy with both the Pluto and host change.
Yes she’s cute, and a lot younger - and still much in the process of developing her own style. This only spells good news!
Yeah! Thehill88 Caitlin is here xD I’m happy, still sad to see Joanne go though :’(
I guess we should say… welcome? Welcome.
where are you from? I lvoe your accents
I do love Pluto.
Hmmm. She’s intriguing. I will continue my subscription and give her a chance.
Still miss Joanne, though.
haha, this new girl is so much better. Joanne talked too fast so it was all garbled. Now, we can hopefully have less garbled episodes like the stupid “Poe” episode.
My guess is that Caitlin will cause us to forget whatshername pretty quickly.
I am very happy you noticed that, I enjoyed that too!
she’s australian
i like her :)
Great choice Andrew! Great job Caitlin.
I think iv seen this girl before…isn’t she australian? yea crap where are those youtube videos of her…lol…blah i shoulda saved.
I miss Joanne. :’( The new girls kinda cute though.
After watching a documentary on Pluto recently I have come to the conclusion that it’s definitely not a planet. And people who want it to be a planet are like those who hate the facebook changes. They’re afraid of change. They don’t understand the definitions and reasons, they’re just afraid of changes.
Pluto has a new family now~ Just because it’s not called a ‘planet’ doesn’t mean it’s not special~
o there we go…shes that thehill88 user…how on earth did she end up on rocketboom…whats the story jezzz…shes from australia now in NY? All thanks to youtube? blah…i prefer joanne…but i guess i’ll watch if theres an interesting topic now i surppose.
Was expecting it to be like, horrible.. Was delighted it wasnt ! Go girl !
Great job picking Caitlin as the new host of Rocketboom. And… Australian accent FTW.
Caitlin, first day on the job and you fit in perfect.
And… OMG, you love space and spaceships, and lookity that, my username is spaceguy :-) http://twitter.com/spaceguy1
Anyways, welcome aboard!
Welcome, Caitlin! I’ll be looking forward to the space & science segments for sure :-)
Neil deGrasse Tyson says the love of the celestial body Pluto is an American phenomenon, and he says, “I’m blaming Disney completely — Mickey’s dog, Pluto.” http://bit.ly/qBUMi And of course that leaves me wondering how long this particular Aussie has been in the U.S. :-)
Whooaaaaaa
This is … dare I say it … an inspired choice!
She totally works. This totally works. LONG LIVE ROCKETBOOM
Change is scary. And should not happen. Lol
OMG! You’re adorable! I just want to hug you Caitlin! ;-)
i agree, great video Caitlin
very exciting!!! perfect choice!
Welcome Caitlin, I’m still annoyed about Joanne leaving, but rocketboom picking you was a great choice.
Wow, cool - thanks for the fairly warm welcome so far.
Once again, I’m just helping out to keep the Boom flowing.
I am a fan of british accents and admired Joanne very much! :(
Cheers!
(and no, I don’t think Pluto is a planet anymore :S)
Hello Caitlin, I see you have finished high school. That’s great. Is it you who are going to replace the pommy? Great.
I can only hope it was a Joanne’s decision that made the vacancy. The very thought that Joanne right now would like to be sitting there to read the news it’s hard to bear. I endeavour to believe that Joanne quit because this was her will. It’s disturbing to think otherwise.
Ok, enough with the rant.
The challenge is tough Caitlin, good luck. You seem to be a nice person.
My impression (which isn’t worth much since we won’t be getting to the bottom of this here) was that Joanne felt highly dissatisfied for the entire second year of her tenure.
I actually believed her right hand injury might have been from “punching a wall” in frustration.
To me, she clearly appeared to be struggling with the persona she had created and unhappy with Rocketboom constraints on morphing her persona into something. From what I have bee able to see, her “intelligent clown” persona (forgive me) is a limited side of her that she began feeling impeded by.
I didn’t mean to imply much by that inarticulate post. Rushed morning.
Leonardo, I know exactly how you feel. Joanne left for her own personal reasons. We really tried hard to keep her - we offered her more $, more support, we supported her creative directions, but in the end, it was her decision. And we totally supported her decision on this. It was only sad as friends part ways will be sad but there were never any hard feelings involved for anyone. The beauty of all of this is that Joanne did not go away, even if she is no longer at Rocketboom. We can all find each other from where we are with just a click. So keep your eyes open for the future, no doubt we all expect great things to come for Joanne.
And thank you Caitlin, we couldn’t be more excited to have you! Onward and upward!
Ta Drew.
Caitlin is fine, of course.
im so going to start campaining to get planetary status for QUAOAR
Does anyone notice that the computer on her desk is older than she is???
Great job!
welcome, I like you =D
I always remember jackass` joke about Ur.anus
This is discrimination against Pluto. I’m outraged and appalled. And I’m whole lot of other things that express my anger without having any real grounds for debate or arguments, so I’ll stop right about….here!!
Hi Caitlin!
How high have you seen your Twitter following go now that you are Internet-famous? That’s like being really famous but only geeks and nerds recognise you. It’s a W1N because they will typically be too scared to talk to you in the street but a F41L because geeks and nerds can stalk you to places normal people will never go. They will know your secret 4-chan login, for example.
Anyway - nice job on the first broadcast. Keep up the good work!
kthxbai!
Awesome! I LOVE Caitlin! :) Good luck on the show!!! :)
Joanne!! x3 =(
Welcome, Caitlin!
I love youe new show and I think your definitly a worthy successor to Joane.
Tell us a bit about yourself!
sooooooooooooooooooooooo cute girl , love u :)
Quaoor!!!
LOL!
TheHill88? Small world. Good move.
quaooooaaaaaarrrrrrrrr
Not bad at all! Actually Promising! Hello Caitlin…
Caitlin! SO great to see you on here! Loved your vlog on YouTube and now you’re on RB! Wahoo - let’s hear it for the geeky Aussies!
The “Poe” episode is the only Rocketboom that I ever favorited. That may change with thehill88 at the desk.
Ah! Great job!
Caitlin is good to go. I’d crash a bottle of champagne at your feet to wish you luck on your voyage with Rocketboom. I don’t have a bottle of champagne, or you, around, so ….,
….. a suggestion: when talking about outer space stuff, change The World Map background. Consider something like this: tinyurlDOTcom/10-lightyears
Perhaps find and ask r. powell for permission to use his illustration first, too.
Welcome to Rocketboom Caitlin!
Oh Boy, already looking forward to more science sets from a fellow science nerd.
And if you can’t clear your space of planetesimals can you really be a planet?
(Were Amanda and Joanne planetesimals?)
fuck this BS, bring back Amanda Congdon!
errr, I mean Joanna…
mehh ill deal.
Caitlin FTW!
Wow I actually think you could replace Joanne. Good one.
Putnik
Nicely done. This is going to be good. i hope
Way to go Caitlin!
I think the new definition of a planet sucks rotten eggs. It sounds more like a political farce of academia than science.
It doesn’t even recognize planets outside the solar system as planets, rather designates them “exoplanets.”
I think planets should be divided into something long the lines of viable or living, non-viable or dead, and rouge. Use the second and third basic criteria here, definition of a planet, along with the viability criteria. Viability would be a statement of whether the planet has a rotating inner core and a magnetic field.
Under my definition, Pluto and friends would not be planets, but since they may be in the process of clearing the area of their orbit, they might be “planetites,” or we could keep the “dwarf planet” idea that got dropped.
I would also keep rouge planets, which existed in the old definition. Rouge planets orbit no star. (Imagine finding a viable rouge planet!)
P.S. Catlin Hill, New York was as close as I got but I didn’t try very hard, just the first page of Google.
P.P.S. Under my definition Mars and maybe Mercury would be non-viable.
I was kind of dissapointed since I thoght there was going to be info about Nibiru and not Pluto…
Well anyway…
You are so cute Caitlin!
Would love to see you more on the show :)

Never saw that one coming, touché Rocketboom.. touché..
i love cute english girls. :)
haha. you are a very good replacement.
Well colour me impressed! Maybe this time I wont have to lock myself in my room with a stack of tissue boxes listening to Radiohead like when Catriona left MoBuzz.
Now if Caitlin can recite the Raven, we may be on to a winner.
Oh, and yay for science.
Yay, it’s Caitlin!
it must be tough replacing joanne, but she tried and I can never fault her for that, and you did a pretty good job.
Caitlin approved, thethoughtofyou tested!
Great so far Caitlin!
Yay, it’s Sebastian, commenting about Caitlin!
That “Sedna, Orcus, QUAOAR!!!, and Varuna.” bit was great. Caitlin is a great addition to the Rocketboom team.
I thought about commenting, then decided not to, but then I wanted to, so I couldn’t make up my mind so I’m just commenting to comment on the first of Caitlin’s Rocketboom installments. I miss Joanne but I can just watch a previous vid and not be so sad. Just like people can revisit old textbooks when Pluto was a planet if people mis Pluto being a planet. Aparently Pluto is a planet again. Or am I wrong? Who knows? Change is good, only if the change is good and/or goes from good to better.
Never seen her before, but they couldn’t have found a better replacement. No one could replace joanne though :(
Welcome Caitlin!
Well done! I’m looking forward to more segments about Astronomy (maybe even knowledge that does not sound like a résume of a Wikip. article)…
BUT: Go see a hairdresser. Really.
Again, well done…
I’m getting used to this change fast. Been a fan since RB since way back. I liked Amanda and Joanne, but I’m most excited to see more episodes with Caitlin. Cheers!
Caitlin is hot, lets see what she’s got!
So far so good.
So far so good, let’s see what she got!
Welcome Caitlin. :-)
It is nice to have you on board the rocket although enough with the Pluto (Joanne overdid it in my mind).
Loved your pronunciation of non-planet Quoauaourouoaauaoauoo.
I like the way she said “Quaraor”. Choked on a chip while laughing.
I’m almost beginning to like you!
she’s australian.
caitlin approved by hulk well just look up
I think Caitlin could use more enthusiasm and speed-talking, but a great job nevertheless
Hurray for Cailin Hill!
video might take a while for it to be as witty as Joanne’s.
But you bring your own energy into the show, thats for sure. 5stars
this video sucks
“change isn;t good”
I think so…..Nice job Caitlin :)
Caitlin Hill hosting. I knew her before ROCKETBOOM. Well I’m satisfied. You fellas at RB never cease to amazed.
congrats on joining Rocketboom Caitlin
ok fine i’ll give it a go… but only for you big shiny rocket, only for you.
;)
Thanks and good luck to Joanne and welcome to Caitlin.
cheers,
Javajini
This is epic. Well done.
Welcome, Caitlin! Good luck dealing with the intelligentsia you’ll find here on the comments page…they’ll get over Joanne soon enough.
One thing, though. That observatory in Flagstaff, AZ where Clyde W. Tombaugh worked is pronounced “Low-ull” (stress on the first syllable), as in “The Low Countries”, or “Low-Fat”, or “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”. Believe me when I tell you this. I know from whence I speak. That’s all I can say. And Uncle Percival would be proud that his Observatory was mentioned on Rocketboom. Whoops.
Apologies. That’s me being a foreigner and messing up. I will check all pronunciation more often!
I like this new girl, she’s pretty hot and smart and cool : D
what are YOUUUUU doing here :D
i miss joanne :(
One thing i like about Rocketboom is that, even though english is not my mother language, i can understand perfectly when they talk…
…Sadly, Caitlin fails on that regard. Maybe lowering the talking speed so you can modulate a bit better?
WTF is rocketboom trying to pull here? They think they can bumrush us over the head with some snippy trollop.
This “Hill floozy” approaches internet broadcasting like it was a science project. Well I have news for RB. My internet viewing habits can not be approached like it was some midterm paper. I have feelings.
When I put my attention in the internets hands I dont see how Hill can cradle it like Joannes’ wellread bosom always could.
Joanne made me wish I had a vagina also.
I love Caitlin lol
QUAOAR! Amazing pronunciation! XD
Cracking stuff :D Continue!
LMAO at “Quaoar” wasn’t expecting that :D
Love you Caitlin, your funny and smart :)
Legislators shouldn’t be running around enacting silly legislation on something like that.
Congrats Caitlin.
Good luck finding your inner rocketboom-girl.
I like Caitlin, even though I miss Joanne.
Wow, I’m actually learning something. :)
She surely has potential…
Was a bit sceptical over a new host in the start…but I think Caitlin got what it takes! Good luck!;-)
I was freaked out that Joanna was gone, but now that I’ve met her, I was calmed, she made my Rocketboom day. Just like Joanne did. ^^
What pluto’s not a planet!? Spoiler alert next time, GEEZE!
Good choice RB. Congrats Caitlin, you did a great job.
Hehehehe, change is scary and should not happen XD yep, that’s how humanity came to where we are today.
Amanda was good; Joanne was better; Caitlin — you’ve got some seriously big shoes to fill — and I think you’ve got what it takes to fill ‘em.
Rocketboom is dead. Long live Rocketboom!
ello govner, far out
Welcome!
wooo heavy stuff their bud you ok? I’m sure we can make it trough this you know ?
Give the girl a chance. You can only be surprised if you don’t expect it. Plus this girl is a friend of Natalie from Community Channel so you know she has to be alright.
Welcome Caitlin Hill!
Glad to see someone actually stepped in and made a segment. XD
Caitlin is clever. But riddle me this: As Harvey Kurtzman asked 54 years ago in “Mickey Rodent”, why is Pluto mute when all the other Disney characters speak? http://tinyurl.com/cgazu7
I miss Joanne.
Q.Q
lol i was a new subscriber anyway only watched a couple of joannes videos, Go Caitlin someones gotta keep this show on the road!
zomg…joanne left for good? I liked her. Caitlin is cool too though. Joanne didnt even say goodbye :(
Welcome to the show Caitlin.
1 - Congrats on the new gig
2 - Your style is different than Joanne’s - which is neither (+) nor (-)
3 - Rocketboom is an important part of my day and I am glad to see it continue
4 - I was surprised that a new staff member was brought in as opposed to one of the original staff giving it a go
5 - I enjoy the science and news aspects of RB and would love to see that continue. I also appreciate the artistic subjects, humor, activism, and various wacky Internet shenanigans
6 - Thanks to the whole RB team for producing the show!
7 - Have fun - that’s the whole point of our short cycle on Earth.
Cheers
why is she talking in a fake British accent? they’re cool and all, but if you can’t maintain it for the whole video then don’t bother.
she looks familiar. she reminds me of full house.
i miss joanne
The only thing i dont really like is her eyes, i dont know why but to me they look half-closed all the time..
I like this new girl. She’s very cute and rather funny. :3
Holy frejoles, TheHill88 is on Rocketboom! That happened to Joanne?
Excellent replacement, but wow, was not expecting that.
I simply must contribute a few things to the Pluto discussion - though the comments here seem to be generally intelligent and well-thought-out overall! Hooray Rocketboom community! (And Caitlin!)
First, in no way was the IAU’s decision to classify Pluto as a dwarf planet a “demotion.” I know Caitlin didn’t say that, but many people seem to think that there’s some kind of astronomical hierarchy, that somehow Pluto is no longer “good enough” to be a planet. Pluto was *reclassified*, not *demoted*.
Second, Pluto has many features that are totally unlike the other planets in the Solar System, such that if you try to come up with criteria that “planets” have in common, Pluto usually violates them. Its orbit crosses that of a planet, it goes through a cloud of debris, its orbit is chaotic on much shorter timescales than the eight planets, and the Pluto-Charon barycenter is outside of Pluto’s physical volume.
Third, Pluto is in many ways better off now than it was before. It used to be this tiny, insignificant planet way the heck out there in the Outer Solar System. Now it is THE prototypical object for a dwarf planet, and it’s going to be the first dwarf planet visited by a manmade probe!
And finally, nobody should be afraid of scientific theories changing and evolving–that’s how science works! After all, the Solar System used to have about 15 planets by an old classification scheme (with Ceres, Vesta, and a bunch of other asteroids included). In fact, the term “planet” has different senses depending on what discipline of astronomy you look at, and those meanings evolve over time. In my own astronomy studies, I’m used to thinking of the Moon, the big Outer Solar System satellites, and large asteroids and KBO’s as “planets.” My favorite planet is Europa - second to the Earth, of course!
Spolier alert - Caitlin wearing makeup!!
Goodluck Caitlin. Thought you did a great job.
x
dude it’s TheHill88!!! Awesome replacement seriously…good choice! She’s just as badass as joanne.
i miss u J…
and u are most WELLCOME Caitlin !
very good for the first act…
no where near as good :(
yuck, what’s up with hiring that creepy kid.. Serious, Were no adults available.
thanks for the correction.
Any idea why J left? I miss her too.
What happened to Caitlin’s Australian accent?
the hill88 is australian :D
I hear more of an Australian accent than a British one, but listening to her other videos on her YT channel, she sounds like that in all her other videos. Kinda somewhere in between the two.
Bravo Caitlin!
good job Caitlin
I can’t believe people give a flying shit splatter what designation this giant rock receives.
Girl + Science = WIN
At first i kinda missed joanne…
But then Caitlin sais she here so that rocketboom could get they’re shit together and I quickly started pauing attention to her. Very funny and good job
People feel so strongly whether Pluto is classified a planet, a dwarf planet, or whatever, that the issue must be packed with practical consequences.
Please, cover it for the layman.
Nice Replacement, I hope this one last!
quaoaaaawr.
does anyone know if this is caitlin from communitychannel?
yes
Because change is scary.. ^^
But you seem cute!
absofuckinglutley not.
I’m still really missing Joanne, but I think Caitlin has taken to her first episode really well. I think this is the start of a bright chapter in Rocketboom history.
Only complaint, Pluto isn’t a planet. Deal with it.
Still, a very enjoyable episode.
i miss joane but hopefully shell work out, shes got big shoes to fill so take it ez on her pple,
If she can even handle us…
Surprisingly good job!
You totally got me on the Quaoar!!
Warm welcomes, Catlin! Good job!!
dammit joane come back
this new bitch is too perky
Funny. Will Katers be having cameo appearances on Rocketboom as well?
Anyway, job well done.
Oh wow! There is an awesome idea!!! Katers17 is amazing!!!
You got yourself a new subscriber, Rocketboom! =D
TheHill88, what a nice surprise :-)
You have my Axe
Can you not disparage my people by using such idiotic words? Thanks.
Go call a black woman a bitch - or a Paki a bitch -
You are just as lovely as Joanne! Keep up the good work!
I don’t think there is a Catlin on communitychannel- There is a Natalie. And she’s asian.
Aw, you’re adorable. Internet personalities are harsh, don’t take any of those jerks to heart. You do have big shoes to fill, metaphorically speaking of course, because I’m sure Joanne doesn’t have big feet, and..I’m sure you’re not wearing her shoes either. ANYWAY, good on ya. PS: I enjoy learning about outer space, so, maybe I’m a little biased.
I know it’s hard to find someone as hot as Joanne but really?
Where’s the know your meme chick?
Caitlin is funny though, which is a plus i guess
All those haters can bugger off… I think it’s very progressive for Rocketboom to have a pre-op transsexual hosting the show.
Break a leg!
I can’t even imagine how to respond to this.
I approve of Caitlin.
I liked it. I am happy to have rocket boom still. Joanne was great, but nothing lasts forever. This was good. Keep it coming!
Caitlin Hill aka thehill88 is doing rocketboom??!!?? niiice!!!
Everyone will miss Joanne dearly, but Catlin may do well as the next host. will she live up? no, because she will bring something different to rocket boom
Great work! Yes, we all miss Joanne, but I am very impressed with Caitlin’s first piece. She has her own style and while Joanne captivated me (and I believe she could go on to do wonderful things in the future - I personally think television audiences would love her), Caitlin is a definite keeper.
Congratulations, Caitlin! I can’t wait for your next production!
Question: If one believes Pluto ought to be classified as a planet, does that make one a Plutocrat?
Say goodnight, Gracie…
Good luck! Nice intro.
Caitlin’s the new news reader?
Nice!
i miss Joanne :( :( :(
Approved, I can adjust to this as long as Caitlin does not try and force the old Rocketboom attitude into the series, hopefully she will bring something new and also entertaining to the show that Joanne didn’t have.
because change is scary!!! ahahahaha
well done Caitlin!
OUT WITH JOANNA, IN WITH CAITLIN! lol
Seriously though, I really miss Joanne too guys, but she has moved on and we all have to welcome Caitlin!
I think she will be great! How cute is this baby face!
Same here..same here=(
My rocket no longer goes BOOM!
Awesome.
not bad, i catualy liked it. i like forward to ur news.
and gud luck !
i like :] she has big shoes to fill buuuut i think shell be great
I love Caitlin(Hill88) but joanne was a different kind of woman mmmm joanne :)
Cool the way the brought in someone we know and like.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
Joanne please
well said
Welcome to Rocket boom, you are funny and the pencil thing is cool!
I like her.
welcome her to YouTube? I think it’s a bit late for that ;)
omg, Caitlin said shit. Its kind of like you can’t say bomb on a plane , well you can’t say shit on a Rockett unless of coarse your going to give us the specifics of how a 0 gravity environment is dealt with when Defacating on people who resist change. :) (Reaching I know.) he he
planet X is nibiru
I was sad that Joanne left … Now we got a perfect replacement ! Welcome Caitlin !
I love Caitlin and the new space and science segment! ^u^
3:57 whats the difference from a planet?
I WANT THE HOT CHICK BACK!
Since you clearly stated that you knew you wouldn’t be better then Joanne, we welcome! You’re right: You’re not better then Joanne. But you rock in your own way!
She is Caitlin!
Hear her Quaoar!
You were cool :)
hill88 nice
well she has passed the fans test GOOD JOB! :D
Amazing replacement! If we can’t have Joanne, she is terrific!
She’s using a computer that’s older than she is. Which makes me think… If I used a computer that was older than -ME-, it could crush me and my desk into a brown paste on the floor.
4:12 hahaha :D QUAOAR!
…meh, we’ll see
planet x is nibiru!
you may not be joanne, but you’ll do just fine.
KOD, FTW:):):)
as much as i enjoyed this: plz don’t just do things the same way joanne used to… (the background thing was a good start, but i’m still left with the feeling that this was pretty much the same thing)
i know this amanda-joanne-caitlin thing is a well-tested awesome format, but to keep doing this just hurts the hosts themselves as people now feel like they’re just a face for the show that can be changed anytime. (maybe that’s what some people at rocketboom wanted. well.)
I WANT JOANNE BACK
…in all caps, so you know I’m serious
This is only a shit video, take it down please!
Welcome Caitlin - you go Kiwis!
OH NOES WHERE IS JOANNA
This chick needs a make over.
But then again, no one will ever compare to Joanne.
awesome job, caitlin!
Welcome Caitlin. Love your style and attitude but please work on your diction!
Caitlin is great
I started out a skeptic but you won me over. Awesome job Caitlin.
I really like her. Tonnes of personality, very lovable. Rocketboom should TOTALLY keep her around!
You were awesome Caitlin!
Joanne for the win.
I don’t like this “Clarissa explains it all” bullshit.
not bad
Welcome Caitlin Hill!
Though when you whack that keyboard it annoys me. I admit it.
So you like spaceships, how do you feel about cheese?
not what i had in mind but definitely rocketboom worthy
Was your mother in The Shaggs? Just curious.”better than The Beatles” according to Frank Zappa
boo i wish you would leave you cuse a lot
Great intro Caitlin. I have a feeling you are going to win a lot of people over.
Quuaaaooorre!
I dont know if i’ll like caitlin for this
im sorry its not the same without joanne im unsubscribing
Hi Caitlin, and don’t go away too soon.
lol… she’s right. Change is scarry and I think this was the perfect topic for her first video! Great shot and I think she’s going to be good at this.
the only reason i sub was joanne and now she is gone im gone good bye
Well done Caitlin… well done. Joanne was amazing… a rare, rare find… I suspect you’ll show yourself to be equally amazing. Best wishes on this new adventure… :-)
Obviously Miss Hill has not yet attained the same skill level of host that Joanne did, having hosted all of one episode of Rocketboom. However, she is much closer to Joanne than she is to Joanne’s predecessor what’s her name, and I think has great potential.
this girl is cute as hell
Was sad to see no Joanne today, but I have to say Great job Catlin!
Joanne, we will always miss Joanne.
Joanne! We wuv yoo! <33
I unno, they’re trying to replace a British (and French speaking) woman with an Austrailian lol. Nah, I like her, nice call Rocketboom
I’ve missed your videos on your personal channel miss TheHill88
Cool Show Caitlin Hill
*****
Great job Caitlin, I was sad to hear Joanne was leaving and was concerned what would become of Rocketboom but I am worried no longer!
so joanne is gone forever or what ?
Joanne who?
Loved Joanne. Miss Joanne. I kinda like this Caitlin, though. We may be on to something here.
O NOES!!??
@Bhob totally!
@spaceguy I feel the same way and am so happy you do too.
Great intro and way to go Caitlin! You are smart, work hard, and are going far in your career today and tomorrow. Thanks for being a great friend and leader in web video.
xoxo Sarah
@Pop17
Caitlin sucks
I think the pluto thing was done as a sublte way for women to tell men that size does really matter.
Get paid for letting us devour your soul, Caitlin! =)
aussie aussie aussie :D
They’re both great hosts… i’ve never understood why rocketboom isn’t more popular than it is…
Reeeeell, I think she may have some large shoes to fill… I’m sure she’ll be awesome when she gets more comfortable. x3
of course she has large joanne size shoes to fill, but Caitlin might be able to do it. welcome caitlin.
While Joanne’s departure was something to be sad about, something good came out of it…we got a great new host! Good Luck Caitlin.
Welcome Caitlin, you’re in for one hell of a rocket ride. Not a bad start either, but I have one suggestion: Slow…down…just…a…bit. Some of what you said was hard to understand because the words kind of ran together, but when you read the Pluto info you slowed it down and it was great. I know you’ll get the hang of it, you’ll be doing it every day! Good luck.
This has been your Dave Reckoning.
QUAOAR!!!
Welcome Caitlin. Tough pumps to fill, but you’re doing great!
Yea Caitlin! I never knew how to pronounce Quaoar before. You learn something new every day. I like you Caitlin you may not sound high brow as Joanne, but I find your delivery is softer and a bit more fun. Be yourself, I am looking foward to a new era for Rocketboom with you in the pilot seat.
Hey she is great ! I already know her from youtube. Nice :)
damn it!!! I really wanted to hate whoever was replacing the marvelous Joanne, but I can’t.
I’m still sad Joanne’s gone but welcome Caitlin.
Come on guys give Caitlin a chance. I also miss Joanne but she has moved on to something else. Caitlin has her own style and character. I’ll always miss Joanne though.
I don’t believe Drew at all.
I easily can imagine that he was a dumba$$ with Joanne as he was with Amanda.
That said, he does have a knack for finding talent.
Caitlin is an excellent choice for the next generation of RB.
Outstanding start Caitlin. You will quickly become adored by the RB faithful.
Piece of advice for you Caitlin- don’t trust Drew.
YUSS SCIENCE! good choice, caitlin is funny. i think QUAOAR should be a planet.
is it just me or is the sound out?
We’ll surely miss Joanne. But welcome Caitlin :) Keep up the good work!
Welcome Caitlin! Nice job done and don’t read any bad comments. You did well!
cant take it!!! ned joanne nothing against you caitlin just i loved joanne lol
hmm, this really isn’t the same is it : (
Well at least they have Caitlin to replace Joanne.
*sigh of relief*
I think Caitlin’s off to a good start. I’m looking forward more episodes from her :)
I like Astronomy.I have a 6″ telescope but have not used it in years.I thought the X planet was outside Pluto’s orbit and was part of the 2012 end that would bring a polar shift and bring in the Seven Year Tribulation Hour.Check some of that stuff on you-tube about 2012
Sabrina the teenage witch.. Is it going to be a teenage show from now on? With space and dinosaurs and emo from time to time? :(
Where did the brilliant, smart and sexy lady go?
Am I too old for this show now? Must I be in my early twenties to enjoy watching this perky gal? If I wanted teenagers I’d just go to my kids’ room and ask what’s up. :/
Hi caitlin. Nice to see a new face. While i’ll miss Joanne, you have a really cool and slight( okay even more) crazy style which i can entirely appreciate. Good luck and welcome.
Hello Caitlin..welcome you Rocketboom!
This Sucks! Joanna was so much better !
(sigh) that’s much better…. all you joanna fans the the penultimate sentence “…change is scary and shouldn’t happen.” is a reference to pluto not rocketboom presenters.
catlin, you rock! (sorry about the pop-culture exclamation)
it is very apparent you’re a geek, you are also pleasing to the eye. we must also not forget the early joanna vids. there is a whole lot a bit of styling and make-up can do for the needs of the pre-school subscribers
A bit too young and over cute but that will change with time. Overall I approve of Caitlin.
One mistake though, Pluto has never affected the orbit of my anus. Sorry, couldn’t resist, it had to be said.
I will hang my head in shame and retreat into the west now.
Joanne who?! Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin Caitlin
Wow, that girl looks just like thehill88… who supposedly moved away to the states, only to have her soul devoured by NYC Zombie Lemurs.
Cute video. Would that be a Tandy TRS 80 on the desk?
Nice Work. :D
It will be cool that you can video edit vieos as easy as prein some botons. See you my love
Great first report, Caitlin. Nice change Rocketboom.
welcome to home,Caitlin
denni and barbara are inside!(16-32=pluto)or(a-ab=0)
from diabetes.
Caitlin! You seem like a good replacement for Joanne, and you’re off to a great start. I actually enjoyed this little science lesson! Good Luck!
ATTENTION JOANNE COLAN FANS!
You can keep track of Jaonne on her website and on her FaceBook page:

Caitlin is great! Cute, nimble of toungue and a decent actress too!
Welcome to RocketBoom, girl!
want. Joanne. back. NOW.
Caitlin,
You’ve been here for a day and a half already. Your honeymoon is over and there are thousands of RB fans that are in need of their RB fix for the day.
Anything new to report?
HEE HEE… kidding of course.
Thanks again for taking on this critical responsibility.
Quite informatative, and most important of all…quite entertaining. Great work there.
Can’t hear half of what she says. Tweak the sound or ask her to work on her enunciation. Or I’m out of here.
Welcome, Caitlin:)
Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over. ~F. Scott Fitzgerald
funny and good. but change cant be scary to anyone with an interest in sceince :P
That was…
Great!! Good job, I’m def watching Rocketboom again :)
Bye old one, hi new one!
Change might do well….
Looking forward to more of this! Great start!
i think some one was playing with you down the desk

Does anyone know the title of the song in the background at 1:23?
Get through the first minute and then I like what I see. but the beginning was crap

WE WANT JOANNE!!!
já peguei esta mina!!!!!!!!!!
I love the space segments. Life down here is depressing. Take me to the great beyond, a journey in time and space ^_^
it has, that’s a Radio Shack ‘Color Computer’
I was confused by Caitlin’s traveling accent, but I was sold on her pronunciation of Quaoar.
Welcome!
i’m unsubscribing.
i want joanne.
WOO CAITLIN!
i think ill have to warm up to the new host but pretty good
is she faking that accent?
wtf is all that shite about?
i think she’s totally cute…… and witty ,,,, as in amusingly or ingeniously clever in conception or execution.
OK what the? Planet X has nothing to do with PLUTO. Planet X is Nibiru. NIBIRU…..
Since when was PLUTO ever dubbed Planet X?
Planet X is Nibiru.
What no Uranus Joke? Caitlin Hill Rocks BTW she makes me want a Vegemite Sandwich soooooo Bad !
What a load of SHITE!
Hey Caitlin I had such a crush on you and now you are here!! Woo hooooooo!
Caitin is stupid and dumb; she don’t know what she is doing and have no clue about anything. Get a life Kaitlin. And lastly a worm has a greater IQ than Raitlin what ever her name is; she need to get lost.
She es cute!
So cute you can’t write correctly?
“because change is scairy, and should not happen” lol (she is kidding for u idiots)
^_- awsome video!
She has just given us a good reason, to make up another 100 blonde jokes!
holly crap…
i think ilove you :)
i’d pay attention to all news, including the depressing 90% of it, if she was reading it.
Shit mate, you must be desperate!
Go and join a lonely hearts club!
Nice video!
Interestingly, the person who discovered Pluto has his ashes on board the New Horizons spacecraft headed to Pluto right now. Unfortunately it’s going so fast that it will only be by Pluto for three days, and keep on going into the Kuiper belt and beyond.

Eh, the Illuminati is run by reptilian kin known throughout history as Jinn, Naga, Kappa, Demons, Dragons, Dracul, Al Gore, Windsors, Rothschilds etc. that rule the inner circles of Freemasonry and do foul sex&torture rituals. They’ll probably release a bird flu virus via vaccines(or by drones), go to internet 2, start WW3 w/China, have a staged alien invasion(2010) to get a microchipped pop/world gov but they will fail! Support FreemanTV, Alex Collier, Dr.Deagle, David Icke & Project Camelot!
thats your 5 mins of fame
oh, i thought you were talking about caitlin hill :-p
I miss Joanne!
Caitlin did a super job in her first Rockboom video.
Looking forward to more.
Not to be a jerk….but did Rocketboom even hold auditions for Joanne’s replacement or just jump on the chance to get Caitlin due to her popularity?
and what happens to my wish?
No Caitlin, marry ME please! You are so beutiful as inteligent as look. But you speak too fast I still can’t understand some things toy said…
this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol is that pluto march for real?!
Congratulations on the new gig. A truly winning premier!
AARGH! I mean premiere!
Nice :)
I’m kind of already a fan. I loved some of her youtube vids (thehill88 or somethin’ like that. check her out. she’s a cutie) Glad to see a youtuber make good!
Welcome Caitlin!
am sure joanne is better
more charismatic
but this gal has been on the internet vloging things for alot already
she’ll have her fans too
any updates on where joanne work now?
yes this is real i think she get a video stream on NASA
Seu porco onde esta mary jane?!?!?!?!?!
lol people actualy protested to keep pluto as a planet. thats just sad, really really sad. :-( who friggin cares what it is.
I’d do her
… and the info was interesting too
Sedna, Orcus, KWAAAHORRR lol
Why does she look like a pig, is it only me or anybody else gets hungry!:)
They do. Why do you care what they think?
i dont really care, it just seems odd that they would waste their time and money to protest for something like that but whatever lol
Not bad, but I really miss Joanne. Hope we see her soon somewhere else.
i love you
nibiru planet X
Steven Hawking is in hospita l( critically ill)
Nice try, kitten. When’s your big sister coming back? Listen, it’s not your fault. She’s a tough act to follow. Maybe Kate Hepburn could have done it. A word of advice: be an original you; don’t be her. And last, don’t give up!
i know. it’s so sad.
Caitlin rocks!!! ;o)
ya she rock
GJ Caitlin
Nothing against Ms Hill but to those of us middle-aged men who enjoyed Joanne, Caitlin feels (errm, looks) like a child.
Good job none-the-less Caitlin. If you got the talent, I will overlook that I have sneakers older then you ;)
Welcome to RB
You still not a pretty girl~~~
What a fat baby girl~~~
good job.
Well….she is not bad, just needs some practice, With joanne, the episodes seemed more serious, but now, I think this will appeal to younger audiences.
I still like to think of pluto as a planet BTW =)
i think she is cute.
I have one of the largest Rocket Collections in the USA.Thousands of toy rockets that is.Estes and Centuri kits and others too.Some of my rockets have gone BOOM too.HA,HA.
Of course no one could replace Joanne, but she moved on with her life, so should we. Joanne will always be the light and love in my heart at ROCKETBOOM land.
Aww, Joanne, come back.
Ms. Hill does a lovely job, but tis not the same.
Ah well..
Nice job…
How do your sneakers last that long? You ARE old, get over it. Long live Joanne! Welcome Caitlin!
Boy, Caitlin you’ve got great comic timing! Keep it up! :-)
SCIENCE!!!
She is so hot! Especially when she talks about my anus.
Caitlin has got to be the cutest girl I ever did see. I think I may have to stalk her baahahaha JUST KIDDIN’
“You ARE old, get over it”
Speak up sonny I can’t hear ya :)
“How do your sneakers last that long?”
I didn’t say they were PRETTY sneakers.
no you’re not.
no he’s not.
Oh so THIS is where you are! I see. Educational.
I’d never actually heard about the Kuiper belt.
watching this vid I had a strong deja-vu feeling, but where does that come from?
In my opinion Caitlin is obviously very capable to do this job. she is so enjoyable! Hoping for more such great stuff.
The predecessor left you with such nice equipment. An auto-leveling chair and the world’s first wireless computer. :-)
Joanne is way hotter.
I’m with you, MikeB, Bring back AMANDA!
WAIT… she’s been gone for over 2 years?
And now the host is changing again?
Oh.
So I guess the great circle of life has begun again.
The couple-year cycle, it seems.
Unrelated: Australian accents are cute.
she’s so cute!
Me likes! Could be worse. Style didn’t change much, please go on Caitlin.
Btw stop abusing the little machine on your desk. The cutter will know when to roll the tape…
Wasn’t expecting to see you here, Caitlin
i still miss joanne loads, but to be honest you couldn’t have picked a better replacement. i would have continued watching rocketboom solely on the fact that it’s interesting, but i was expecting to not enjoy it as much what with joanne gone, but as i said, with caitlin at the helm, all is shiney again for the rocketboom future. TWO THUMBS UP
You failed to mention dwarf planets, making me confused, but I thought it was quite and informing video. And who doesn’t love space?
I was hoping you would mention Nibiru
so full of shit
I alway like learing about space and more:)
check out my art videos:)
NO
JOANNE NOW!
gahaha dumble dork
nice, thanks.
In my humble opinion you put the BOOM in the Rocket. A challenge well met, natural flare CHECK, humor,style, presentation, informative balance?, CHECK. Yep good choice Andrew she’s a winner. A more than adequate replacement of her predecessors high standards:D
She looks hot in shorts and barefoot.
I prefer being able to hear what my presenter is saying…
For consistency we can’t call Pluto a planet. If we did we would have to call the asteroid Ceres a planet too. So what’s next to go? Was Sputnik a satellite? It wasn’t in a permanent orbit and only circled the Earth 1440 times in 3 months.
now go type planet x video into google and find out what Nibiru is about
i like her…. she can stay HA
It’s kind of disappointing you couldn’t take a risk and choose an unknown to be the new presenter. Caitlin will of course bring all her own subscribers with her when your own subscribers bail, so it’s a good tactical move but it seems likely that there are other girls out there who possess more of the qualities we have come to expect of Rocketboom presenters than Caitlin does. If only you had looked a little longer.
you said it….change shouldn’t happen….sorry caitlin but joanna was simply amazing
i was expecting caitlin stasey.
your good Caitlin!
PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET!
Her recent videos were from New York.
hi Caitlin :P
This is Caitlin and Planet X
if pluto is not a planet then Cailtin is not a human~~~
Anyway Cailtin is a bit Fat
Prefer Caitlin.
Going to miss Joanne - having never seen Amanda - but think Caitlyn shows potential, fingers crossed.
This has always been a great diversion at the end of my working day.
i can barely tell what your saying sometimes it’s like a mid-pitch hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i’m not saying it to be mean, just to give you some fair and just constructive critisism… man i feel mean.
Did anyone else catch that Caitlin mispronounced Uranus? At first I thought it was intentional, but after watching the clip in full and hearing it mispronounced repeatedly, I’m not so sure.
Rocketboom should appoint caitlin as successor
hi Caitlin, good show, slow down just a tad and it will be fine, and continue to watch out for flying objects, welcome aboard the Rocket, Boom!
quaoar?
youtube audio preview rules!
Of course, if you want anything done well, find an Aussie! Welcome Caitlin!
See you next Brisbane Twitter meetup (#btub!)
I miss Joanne :( :( :( :( :(
I love this girl. I’m gonna marry her.
She’s no Joanne, but cute makes up for all kinds of shortcomings.
gratz
caitlin = its ok to be not joanne.
Boooooooooo! Bring Joanne Back!
And stop with the button pushing and Joanne imitating…
LOL
Uranus’s wobble caused the discovery of Neptune. It was Neptune’s wobble that caused the discovery of Pluto.
Congratulations!.♥
damn you’re funny
You + Me = Weak pick up line! Hhhhhaaaaawt!!! (I’m an idiot… sorry). :)
Ok firstly, Joanne is hot and smart, so replacing her is a bad idea- but if it must be done, at least replace her with a hot, smart or even remotely funny chick. Caitlin has no charisma and her bland, meek pseudo-Australian girlish accent makes this show look like bad community access television. No emotion. No comic timing.
At least Joanne made everything sound so saucy.
I’m deleting this from firefox toolbar
=FAIL
No charisma? And how can someone from Australia have a pseudo-Australian accent?
It’s like we watched 2 different videos :P
things i like?I like you baby!!
Since you are the new host of RB, I guess that I don’t need to sub your channel anymore ….
Just kidding. Anyway, congrats.
retarded fu–ing viedo and so is ur face
Thank you, I always wondered how Quaoar was pronounced.
Hey hey hey, me too bro! That girl will be mine uou’ll see ;)
Caitlin I LOVE YOU HONEY, I just can’t live without you anymore but please speak more slowlly! oh you’re so funny ;)
I’m starting to fall in love.
WOW!
Way-Cool video! Why is it that you rational, science types always seem to have such better production values?
Peace, Sprite.
Speaking about unexpected replacements! But, well done Caitlin. Doubtlessly not as well as Joanne would have, but part of that is, of course, because change is bad and should not happen ;-)
god, you’re so cute in a dorky way
and funny
Are you pissed at Obama? U are not alone. Go to my channel and subscribe to join the revolt!
god she’s good :D
gd vid keep it up :D
She is so funny! I love her! :-)
i know….. i think she hit the pronunciation right on the dot.
how about marrying me? ^_^
i think i want to be here 50 first date^_^
man I like her a lot… and at 0:09 that tongue thing was sexy
You’re SOOOOO SWEEET girl!
I’d like to beat your guinnes like it feels in my heart watching at you Beautifull!
I’m in love I guess,
YOU BEATY SWEEET!
Such poetical… You so sofisticated lady…
sorry but I ne’r liked joaaanass NO!!!
My Caitilinaaaa Caitilyn … My Cati…

So romantic…
Send me E-mail of course… YEAH!
By Belly! YESSS! I wait for…

also see below for several creepy comments.
i loved it when she said QUAOAR at 4:12
Lol
what’s this got to do with the scary zomg doomsday!!one1!1 prophecies about a “planet X”?? I understand this about pluto, but someone answer on if this is Mr. Doomsday planet (Or mr. 0.2 of earth’s mass.) If it is, mr. 0.2, then doomsday prophecies are BIN. If it’s not, then wha..? We got some doomsday fools who don’t know ’bout space.
HEY EVERYONE! ITS ME!!!! lol plz check out and subscribe to my videos everyone, I will be making longer and better ones soon, so subcribe now!!! :D xx
