Being a celebrity is overrated.

Lanny Smoot making science fiction real. What a GENIUS!!! Thank you Lanny, you deserve to be immortalized!

As a black engineer this is very motivational! No limits. No boundaries.

Mr Smoot has definitely done more than he can imagine, he has inspired generations of young people. I am from Rwanda, working in technology, and this is what I needed today! Thank you Mr Smoot!

Please tell your government to stop killing innocent people in the RDC, women and children are being abused for their minerals, these are your brothers and sisters. The Rwandese people need to protect to stop the killing. Please.

@@the13nth25 Glad to, basically the Rwandese government is using the M23 rebels which is composed of mostly the Rwandese Defense Force to displaced civilians from their lands, these lands contains lots minerals used mainly electric car batteries and mobile phones, they they are killing civilians who to want to move from their ancestral lands, abusing women and children, just son they can still the minerals and sell it to the west. When the new Congolese government came into power, the president tried to work with Kagame to make a win win deal, but Kagame refused and continued send the Rwandese military into Congo to steal the minerals to support his government.

Iron sharpens iron, congrats to two these two men breaking boundaries with innovations.

I love this so much! “Get it out of your brain and into the world.” Very wise words!

He is not a "black man" like you. Completely different pedigree. He is from New York City, probably of Dutch origin, and he went to the nation's most prestigious high school then went on to an Ivy League. But all you see is skin color then automatically think you or people you know are somehow entitled to something he has.

Thank you for your innovations and contributions. 🎉

Absolutely Awesome!

Excellent segment. He is elite and has definitely paid his dues! It is a blessing and an honour that he is receiving his flowers and recognition for a lifetime of world shaping inventions and accomplishments many have not ever heard of! Incredible 👍🏾

I still wonder how I did not know about this guy. He has been in Bell Labs and his story was never told. What a heck

2:42 "He credits his 'father' for that initial spark" - If Lanny hadn't had a good FATHER figure in his early life, we wouldn't have Star Wars LIGHT saber. Let that sink in.

Congrats to him!

Genius, incredible walk. This is going to revolutionize VR. Can’t wait.

Beautiful minds.

That omnidirectional floor might just be the coolest thing ever invented! Imagine call of duty on that floor.

There are plenty of role models out there if some of us choose to look ...(CONGRATULATIONS )

Beautiful story ❤

Brilliant man!

Wonderful group of humans

Lanny you're an absolute genius, massive congratulations on all your successes. However I have a simple question, why did you not form a company that created inventions for the entire movie industry? Why limit yourself to being a disney employee? You could be a Billionaire by now.

This dude is like a Tesla of entertainment 😮

Thank you

We are special...Thank you.

The movable floor would be great for rehabilitation for patients need for mobility and muscle training

A lot of Jedi nerds don’t even know a black guy invented the light saber

Brilliant man.

Amazing!

yeah they will show us how criminal we are but not teach us things that will motivate our ppl. KEEP IT UP 👏🏾

Lanny is smooth with it.

Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉

Super smooth like Smoot

Awesome.

Inspiring ❤

Wow, this is amazing. I want to meet him.

Amazing😊

Its really nice he can work for Disney inventing patents in his own name. Many companies just immediately own the rights to the inventions of their employees

Inspiration

The floor invention is wild🔥🔥

❤ Wow, no words

Big ups to you Lanny smoot

Feels good a black man made it!! 👀💯🙌🏿

6:16 The takeaway. Great advice.

They don’t tell us about successful black men that are pioneers of arts, culture and technology but instead always show us the drug dealer or the man who they beat up and arrested for misdemeanour

Great mind 🙌

Lanny Smoot's story is quite inspiring because using science to make inventions are useful for our society.

I love this

HOW COOL IS HE!?

No joke... I want that light saber

Love it

Awesome 😎🤩

A great inspiration to young people

awsome

Everbody: where do you work? What do you do for a living? Lanny Smoot: i play with stuff all day and create things from my imagination.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 there would be so many more inventions if people had more push/ opportunity Also if our school system was restructured, it wastes alot of time, needs to be straight to the goal

Wow

During slavery and immediately afterwards, Black inventors faced immense challenges due to discriminatory laws and systemic barriers. I would like to see acknowledgement of those Black inventors who were excluded from obtaining patents because they were black. Or to obtain a certain patent, they had to partner with someone white.

It is very wonderful for him to be crowned like this, but what is disappointing is that after his hair turned grey

You represent us well
