It's swearing. Yeah. And wait five seconds. YouTube. Oh, we're probably on by now. Probably. Something embarrassing had to happen. There we go. We're on. Yeah, exactly. See. Hi, everybody. It's been one. For those of you who don't watch the show live, we just had a wonderful 40 minute session trying to figure out how to get this dang thing up and working. So how do you get this going? It's just a bunch of facts. We are professionals.  We didn't give up. We didn't give up on you. We have backup systems upon backup systems upon backup systems that didn't work. Didn't work. Yeah. In this case, the redundancy... The backups failed to back up the backup. Yeah. Hello, Nova Scotia. Hello, everybody. Never give up. Never surrender. Very good. Very good, Mike. As somebody is saying, hey, everybody, we're all here. We're all here now. And yes, it is a day without Jamie. I don't know if those of you who typically watch live could notice not the fact that Jamie's not there. Which side is it? It's that side. There's no one there. So Jamie's not there. I feel like we should have a coffee or something there in honor of her or something. You know what we should have done? We should have got one of them paper cutouts and just stood it on the chair. Yeah, we could do that. That sounds easy. We could pull that off. Did we have to end up calling Jamie to figure that out or did we do it? Or did you do it? No, I just brute-forced it. I'm chewing making mouth noises now. Yeah, I was going to say I was planning on having dinner before we officially got started but I can refrain or I can just pull my microphone away so you don't have to hear my mouth noises.  We can do whatever we want. So it's kind of there's no rules just right today. I'm going to go, thank you. It's just going to exactly anarchy, anarchy in the USA. Wait, that's not how the song goes. But yeah and today it is officially a Ask Me Almost Anything an A-M-A-A and that's because the three of us are often privy to infer... We can't tell you everything that we know I guess is how I would say it simply because of like where we work or sources that we get our info from and things like that but overall I mean you could definitely like throw questions at us and we will You can ask us any question you like we'll answer almost all of them. Yes. Yes and that's no joke, yeah. Harry has a really good one there which is no we will not be breaking itar tonight. With that so, yeah Somebody's asking why can't we answer why can't we answer everything? Well, I'll tell you one thing I like my jobs. Dada, do you like your job? Ryan, do you like doing what you get to do? It's quite fun and enjoyable, yeah. Would you guys want to do anything to ruin the opportunity? No. Probably not, no. We'll definitely be like we can't talk about that but you're absolutely free to ask anything it's just, you know... Look that there. We've already got stuff in the chat room. Ryan take it, go for it. I'm going to go I think this is a question more directed at you, so if you just want to hold back for a second this one from Streatic can you name all of the Jovian moons? I can name all the Galilean moons and I can name them in order from closest to furthest out which is Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto that's it that's all I know because Jupiter has a lot of moons I think it has over 70, I want to say over 70 moons and then also some of them don't have names they just have what are provisional designators so something like 2012, AQ345 something like that but Saturn has the most moons I can tell you that when I last heard it it was 1982 but I'm probably wrong on that front there you go I'm going to take this next one I'm going to take this next one from Johnny Spacer chocolate or vanilla I assume you mean ice cream personally I'm a bit more of a vanilla fan however my favourite flavour is mint chocolate I'm not sure if that counts though because it's mint with extra chocolate on top sorry for me it depends on what you're talking about for ice cream I like vanilla like vanilla bean that's really really good better than chocolate but I do like chocolate chocolate I like both and I'm down to eat both together as well but I'm also with you Duda it's got to be vanilla bean I'm not a french vanilla kind of person or something like that but yeah both both there you go again breaking things well Jamie's not here so who cares what should we go with next Dream Chaser let's talk about Dream Chaser Bee Veebs thoughts on Dream Chaser and how awesome it looks well if you watch news this week you'll know my opinions on Dream Chaser I think it's the second most beautiful space plane ever built behind the one and only space shuttle I'd be interested to hear everybody else's opinions on that because I think it's a very cool little relatively small vehicle I think the third one is the coolest looking space plane the second one or the crew one that they did the flight test with would be second and first is of course shuttle yeah I guess in my personal opinion I'm putting shuttle first I'm gonna put the X-37 second and then I'll put Dream Chaser third so but it's okay it still gets a medal so it's good in my world it gets a medal I think space planes in general are just very cool it's a plane that goes to space you can't really get much better than that yeah Robert asks if given the choice would you fly on Soyuz, Dragon, Starliner or Orion I can definitely say I would not like to fly on Soyuz because I don't speak Russian and I wouldn't understand a thing Starliner I'd wait until it's at least flown once successfully to its destination Dragon or Orion I'd say probably the the interior experience on Dragon is better than Orion just from what I've seen so far with Orion you're gonna be going to further away destinations like the moon so that's the thing I'm not sure on I prefer the like the comfort of Dragon but I think I prefer the journey of Orion so I'm not sure which one I would rather fly on if it's just like comfort I go with Dragon but if it's destination I go with Orion sorry I had taco in my mouth yeah I think Dragon would be a fun ride I don't I would much like my airplanes I would want to do a little bit of research into them before their flights and have them have a track record of some sort before I jumped on but Dragon seems like a fun ride yeah I'd be willing to go on all of them just because Soyuz is like the OG right like that's the original I guess it's like it's like getting a chance to ride in a Douglas DC-3 like it's an antique but you could still kind of make it work and they do and it's unbelievably reliable yep it is reliable for now and I hope it's reliable in the future too obviously I mean obviously I don't want anything to go wrong but it's just like circumstances and things it's just it's situations not good right now for aerospace in Russia and things like that and yeah we could talk about that later or whatever Dragon looks like it's a lot of fun I think my problem with Soyuz is that I am 6'3 which for all of our metric people is 1.92 meters tall yeah how small can you get how small can I get pretty small but honestly yeah getting in the small small Soyuz like that would destroy me probably and would you be able to survive with your legs bound in the same position for 6 hours while you got to ISS or something like that I can barely handle a first class flight across the United States that seems like it would be miserable to me I think what you get to weightlessness is probably a lot of relief I want to say and I'm sure you can like get your legs out and stretch your legs I don't think you can you just wrapped up like that you're stuck like a little wet burrito you just got like somebody's put some ropes around your legs and you're just waiting for it I mean with everything we were talking about last week with things like that so cold that's a good one Soyuz seems even too small for Lisa so yeah about that Starliner would be fun but obviously I want to make sure that it works and again with you Ryan I like the fact that oh Ryan maybe a tongue twister for you yeah Ryan on or Ryan yes Ryan writing or Ryan okay we'll figure out some kind of tongue twister that we could do with this and yeah Ryan's going to a destination that is a very far away farther than those other three are intending to go so I guess we'll see I guess my answer all of them so alright what's next who's next I'm going to say Colton directed this question at Dutter but I won't answer it as well so I'm going to because I can what is your opinion of the 737 max 8 my boyfriend flies on them all the time and I would really rather he threw something else my opinion on that is Boeing should have done it the right way in the first place but if they corrected everything they should have corrected and it's been proven now to in retrospect to be a safer aircraft because of it then I personally don't really see any problem with it Boeing did wrong to not properly clarify the systems but if they've now sorted their problems out I don't see a problem of flying on the max so there's multiple points of failure there one the FAA let Boeing govern Boeing that's a problem and that's a huge problem two Boeing not telling pilots about something that could potentially affect their ability to fly the plane is a huge deal and a huge breach of trust and I think they're going to have to work for a bit longer than that to get that back and I would rather not fly on a max 8 in the near future I think Boeing's biggest mistake was McDonnell Douglas so yeah basically since then it's been not so great in the how would I say underpinnings of how things operate Seckie did the FAA do their job well sort of because they are the ones that allowed Boeing to govern Boeing and their rules permitted that and I don't think that that's the right thing to do yeah I believe since then they've changed that rule yeah alright now that we know which planes we're going to fly and not fly on yeah um Buck has asked shuttle was the most dangerous, deadly and most expensive what was actually good about it I'm just looking in the control room at the shuttle hugger have you seen that thing well besides the aesthetics it built you a space station to this day I still get every time I see footage of the launch sequence of it gives me goosebumps it brings me tears it's just a gorgeous piece of engineering yeah as Robert in the chatroom is bringing up Hubble service so the ability to service that's something you can do with any other vehicle ever being able to actually fly up to something and service it I just want to point this out too is fly up to something and service it shuttle in the 80s actually went to satellites, grabbed them brought them back on the payload bay and I can't remember if they were redeployed on shuttle but they eventually flew again so there were satellites that were broken in orbit and they went and literally brought them back from orbit so no other vehicle can do that um and also here's the thing about the space shuttle too which is that most of the materials that the space shuttle used did not exist before that program the space shuttle is a material science tour de force that thing pushed material sciences not just in the United States but across the entire world with what we could share with everybody so much further ahead than would have occurred without it so to me the shuttle is not necessarily obviously the shuttle failed to live up to expectations it was very dangerous it killed two crews but if we have to have some positives for it it was able to put a really good sized payload into orbit in addition to that we could have it service things it could bring things back from space and built the space station which was one of its objectives back in the 70s it was sold on the idea that it was going to help build a space station and it did so there you got at least one in its objectives of selling it back in that time and then also all of the research and development that was done for shuttle is just so important to aerospace and not just in the United States but all over the entire world and you would not have had that without the space shuttle so that's what happens when you got to figure out how to make a crewed double delta wing hypersonic rocket glider work correctly and Buckley points out that it also killed two crews no other vehicle has done that either I would argue that shuttle is safer than Apollo because Apollo killed 5% of its crews and shuttle only killed 1.4% of its crews space is hard and it wasn't the vehicle that killed them it was the culture that killed them that's a really good point so in both times in both cases there were ways that those could have been prevented and if rules and regulations and engineering know how had been followed correctly to the T like it's supposed to those kinds of things may not have ended up happening but also it's kind of schemes of historical causality too so nobody also really knows about things like that so Buckwheat says bad design I'm gonna be prickly there the challenger disaster was not a result of bad design the challenger disaster was a result of operating outside of the known conditions where the known good operating conditions for the solid rocket boosters the night before challenger launched it was too cold for the O-rings to maintain a seal and they were never warmed properly in order to be flexible enough to seal under pressure they should not have launched the culture in NASA at the time pushed and pushed and pushed and made them launch against the wills and the wishes of the engineers at Morton-Tyacle and Columbia's failure was a result of a lack of Columbia's eventual failure was a lack of culture in forming the crew because they suspected that there was nothing that could be done and they don't necessarily believe that that's true either yeah I don't think so either if the steps had been taken very early on in Columbia's mission they could have put Columbia in the crew into basically like a mode that would use resources very slowly and they I've at least seen Wayne Hale who is basically the end all be all of space shuttle at least in my eyes and a lot of other people at the shuttle that they had that they were processing they probably could have sped it up if they had looked to the side for a couple of safety things to get it up and going but they could have done a rescue mission if it had been caught and the issue would have been known and the things that needed to have happened would have happened within those opening days of the mission so you can't have it happen on like and they finally go oh hey guys by the way we need you to stay up there for like an extra month they could have also modified entry trajectory there's a bunch of things that they could have done to potentially save the crew yeah yeah so bad NASA I guess that's a way to put it so yeah yeah alright now that we're all also I believe I think this is recording something from a very long time ago I heard but I think I can't remember if it was like Voskhod or Soyuz but I know Russia has also lost a crew so this isn't like a US dependent thing either two they lost two space is hard I did not know that yeah two crews space is hard so turns out space can kill you yes yeah that's what happens when you are on the bleeding edge of that so yeah and let's let's not act like we've got it you know going good now just because we're in the 21st century I mean we still have issues that can threaten things like like Nyokha last year firing its thrusters to depletion you know that could have been extremely bad day on the space station and I don't want to necessarily say loss of vehicle loss of crew but there were a lot of factors that sort of saved the space station that day that if those weren't running at that time it would have been very much on the edge of things with that so yeah and the launch pad has asked not sure if you've already talked about it we haven't but given these previous NASA decisions how do you feel about the SLS-SRBs getting multiple waivers well for Artemis one there is no crew so for my opinion if they're willing to risk that risk blowing up the rocket just to get it done on these SRBs then I mean that's their decision but if there was a crew flying on Artemis one then my opinion would be like yeah you shouldn't really be putting waivers on these things with such long periods of time if it was my decision I would not go past the waivers on that because I feel like if you lose the SLS on the Artemis one launch it's going to be very difficult to justify I think politically it will be very difficult however for me it's the crew thing I can get behind that I still don't think it's a safe thing to do because you're also risking the ground support equipment you're also risking down range and the PR nightmare of trying to recover from that and yeah you can recover from PR issues but that's a long road that you don't need yeah it would be pretty bad so I personally don't feel like a space launch system problem at least a immediate problem on launch would be something that that program would recover from I mean they're going to throw it away anyway so why disassemble it to make sure that it works yeah good point so yeah very well said so all three of us are definitely hoping that it goes okay nobody at tomorrow is wishing that something bad happens to SLS that's period overall we do not stand in a corner for a boxing match or at least thinking that space flight is some sort of boxing match and we're going to stand in a corner and root for someone we're rooting for everybody here we want to make sure that everything goes good so that's the way it goes well Leskowski's question uh is it deep ah gotcha okay go ahead knowing what we know now how would each of you have handled the shuttle phase out earlier later what would your preferred replacement vehicle have been etc well as we saw there was no replacement vehicle for a good 10 years so yeah and that's because most of the programs that were being developed for the replacement vehicle kind of petered out in the 90s and early aughts because they just put politically at that time didn't do well and also is that politics or budget or both or what a combination of both and then in addition to that there were also some things that in terms of our ability to manufacture um and our design and other things like that that also just didn't work because we didn't really have materials at that time to make it happen um so something like venture star uh the x33 which was going to be one of those that was supposed to replace shuttle um didn't end up working in one of the big reasons for that was because they wanted to have a composite uh uh cryogenic tank for the hydrogen the liquid hydrogen um for it because venture star was supposed to be the single stage to orbit vehicle to be able to do that and you need very light everything needs to be as lightweight as possible to pull that off uh it was also dcx as well which if you ask me dcx is my absolute favorite program that never made it to orbit unfortunately and I absolutely love dcx because um it basically did everything that spacex was doing with grass hopper but like 20 years before grass hopper with 60s technology with 60s technology as well yeah because that's the budget that they were allocated they worked with it and they made it happen and that team that team of people that worked on dcx was absolutely fantastic in their engineering that they were able to do but ultimately there were political decisions that were made that did not benefit dcx which threw the program into disarray and then caused them to lose the vehicle eventually and then of course if you lose a vehicle at least at that time in the 90s that's it your program's done so so what would your preferred replacement be like a like a uh super like a just beefed up dcx like a like a 10x size dcx yeah something like that I still want dcx just start launching skyscraper return them to the ground with helicopter blades with rockets oh my god no I don't want roton wasn't that one of their one of their proofs so no roton had nothing to do with dcx at all no that was entirely different oh my god roton if my cg computer was working I'd pull up images oh my god roton is so roton was basically like a cone but with helicopter blades at the top and it would spin the helicopter blades and then land that way and oh my god I recall reading about some of the test flights or the one test flight they did with roton and there's a scale usually the test pilots will use to kind of help the designers figure it out like a 0 to 10 scale and the test pilot was like that's a solid 0 and I can't get any lower than the 0 so it was basically unflyable in terms of like a helicopter that's fantastic so oh my gosh thanks thanks for the jogged down memory lane Ryan what would you replace shuttle with um I'll be honest I'm not really sure because are we think of realistically here or are we just coming up with random stuff I mean of the things that were available kind of in the time frame that shuttle was slated to disappear what would you what would you have replaced it with DCX um it's hard I would like to point out that DCX was also not the only vertical takeoff vertical landing program at that time it's also another one happening in Japan the precursor to JAXA was working on at that time so in case anybody was wondering about your pre-SpaceX VTVL history so yeah seems like a space spot in the works there was also uh oh my gosh there goes my brain there were several things that were being used or being proposed as well like like a dream chaser style vehicle and uh capsules and other things that were occurring in the united states at that time so there was a lot of Robert says air is one um I mean well sure if you want to shake the astronauts to that woo so um I'm really not sure what they could have replaced shuttle with there's another option realistically go ahead the other option is to allow the shuttle to keep flying until it's replacement is there yeah that would have been my preference and uh was it united space alliance I think who did the the main contractor with the shuttle something like that they actually did propose to keep flying the shuttle privately after uh NASA would have wrapped up the program in 2011 so they did propose it and NASA did not bite so yeah at least to be able to fly crew like you can get cargo on just about anything but we didn't have anything that could fly crew and I think SpaceX coming in with the dragon was was farther off than they suspected and uh my my preference would have been to keep keep shuttle flying until somebody came along that could fly people I didn't I was not a fan of buying seats from Soyuz seats from Russia to do what we had to do yeah I know but it's doing that is prohibitively expensive but it's also during that time period Soyuz was the only way to get to space but now we have these commercial vehicles coming on line having so many different vehicles is a benefit to everybody yeah and it's really it's also I just want to point out really important to have more than one as well there are tons of people that I see all the time saying that they should just ditch Starliner and stick with Crew Dragon but what happens if a Falcon 9 explodes it's done it twice already so not saying we want that to happen or it's got to happen but the possibility is always there no the first one was a sniper so that's not that's a long sniper shot because that was almost at staging for CRS 7 good lord so but I just want to remind everybody that the reason why you want to have more than one provider is because something goes wrong you want to make sure that you've got that second one there and that was a really another history lesson that was a thing with Shuttle in the 80s there was the I can't remember it was a commercial transportation space act or something like that the Reagan administration put in or well congress and everything did it and then Reagan administration put it in everything with that and they were leaning on that as a means by which to as a means by which to there goes my brain use the Shuttle utilize the Shuttle and basically it said the law of the land is that you may only launch your payloads on Shuttle so you can imagine that commercial entities were thrilled with that and the DOD especially was thrilled with that so they had to work with that and then we had the challenger accent and suddenly nobody wanted to fly on Shuttle anymore so DOD kind of had to come in and make things like the Titan 4 and the evolved expendable launch vehicle program and other things like that so you know just throwing that out there which is that you should have options because of that and Johnny Spacer you bring up a really good point which is that the Crew Dragon has a robust escape system it sure does and we've seen it we've seen it in action with the in-flight abort right but let me tell you it works it works it should have been in his landing system as well I don't disagree with that that would have been amazing to see that as well but if you have an in-flight abort and the rocket explodes and other things like that I don't think that investigation is going to be happening within one crew rotation of the International Space Station even though the crew survived that's the flight NASA purchased that they haven't got a crew to the ISS and the the if a rocket blows up and the crew are saved that's great for the crew it's not great for ISS crew rotations it's not great in terms of NASA's trust in space obviously things can go wrong in spaceflight however an investigation after a Falcon 9 blowing up with a crew on it would just be like crazy I have no doubt that the escape system would work excellent and again we don't want this to happen but it's one of those things that if it does happen it's going to be a very long time just to give you an idea of investigations of accidents Apollo 1 happened in January 1967 you didn't get Apollo 7 until October of 1968 so gosh what is that that's like a year and nine months something like that so over a year and a half for that 3-4 ISS crew rotations at the moment what was Challenger Challenger was January 1986 and I don't think they flew until the end of about 3rd quarter 1988 I don't remember when STS-26 was that's about 5-6 crew rotations so January 1986 we're talking a long time basically October 1988 and then for Columbia that was January 2003 to July of 2005 that was two and a half years of work on that same with the gap between 51L and STS-26 so again I don't think it would take that long but also we're not exactly going to be seeing something like that happen very fast and also that would be really good that something like that doesn't happen very fast because if something like that were to happen like you need to figure that out really really well if our chat has done that so yeah I think the chat has done it boy and yeah very very good so JTTV says that Falcon 9 has failed on landing and the next launch went ahead as planned and I would say yes that makes sense to me because they are not the same regime of flight in that there for any recovery for any reusable vehicle the recovery of that vehicle is very much the secondary mission not the primary mission if something goes wrong with the recovery of Falcon 9 or the recovery of Electron or the recovery of Super Heavy that doesn't matter because there's no crew on them after that point yeah exactly as was being said somewhere in the chat room Randy saying Falcon 9 landing isn't mission critical with something like that so yeah Norman the chat is still up for you guys but our ability to pull it up on the screen is not so we're trying to make that happen as best we can Colton come hit it with a big hammer so I'm trying to see if I can jump on a different thing here and work on that nope that didn't do it Jordan Spacer saying a couple years ago a Soyuz launch failed and had to abort the crew survived there was no impact on Soyuz flight schedules yes what I would say about that is um Soyuz doesn't cut into Soyuz doesn't cut into US politics or the FAA so not a slight on Russia or Roscosmos and how they operate things but there's a different I don't want to call it different kind of culture involved in it but there's a different approach I guess as I would say it and again as you said very well different regulatory authorities boom yes so there you go purple's asking did a Falcon 9 blow up actually yeah the two of them did you had the one on CRS-7 which is I remember correctly that's when composite overwrap pressure vessels came loose in the second stage and then basically like busted open and over pressured one of the tanks in the second stage and they lost the vehicle then and then there was AMO6 which was another composite overwrap pressure vessel and that it what was it was a tribo it wasn't tribo electrification it was liquid oxygen getting in the composite right and then the composite expanding or something and making the liquid oxygen ignite because when composite expands and revs against itself it's pretty hot are you talking about the blow up on the pad? yes now they were trying to load super chilled helium extra fast and it ruptured the COPD oh okay well there you go and it made it go boom so yeah so or it was a sniper from ULA you just don't know that was so great could have been either Robert's asking were any of those block 5? no they were not they were not block 5 block 5 so far has had a very good schedule very good record that's the word block 5 had a very good track record we have lost a few on landing I said earlier that's very much the secondary mission if the landing is an added bonus on the top of the cake it is not required for a it's once after after Miko it's no longer required starty attic with a good correction here on me which is the issue with CR7 was not the COPD itself but the spar holding it so yes it was under performing part did not hold as well as it should have and Norman Wrights will say but who knew solid oxygen would combust with carbon fiber well we all did after that that's for sure Marcus any chance we might eventually see a block 6 Falcon 9 my understanding of it is meant to be like the final iteration obviously they can still upgrade the vehicle minor tweaks whenever they need to because if you if you have a vehicle that's constantly developing on NASA's end they want a vehicle that won't change to fly crew on which is what block 5 is it's like the final version of Falcon that they won't change if they want to make a block 6 improved block 6 for cargo missions sure but I really think all of that effort right now is being pushed into Starship because putting the same massive payload on a Starship compared to a Falcon 9 eventually on Starship it will be cheaper to launch it on that than launching it on Falcon 9 which then basically just makes Falcon 9 redundant because it doesn't economically make sense to fly on it so block 6 Falcon 9 if SpaceX really want it then I guess they could make it but putting all of their development that they would put on something like that into Starship makes a lot more sense hopefully Starship works I want it to work but it has to prove itself first Starship will literally change the course of humanity if it works because that technology is just going to be absolutely insane for space flight I guess speaking of Starship Kerry Bowron is asking what's the latest on Starship there so now that you're done taking the sip Ryan what's the latest so I believe another like mini part of the entire environmental review is now complete so that kind of does hint towards the May 31st deadline I think it's May 31st deadline actually happening which would be very exciting but obviously there's still all of the other mini segments within the entire review that the FAA still need to go through so it just depends if they get them done in time but progress is being made we can see progress being made in the environmental review which is very exciting because before and it just kind of seemed like nothing was really happening or we couldn't actually like see what was happening but now we can which kind of proves stuff is actually happening which is exciting and a question from Strayatic here which is what happens if Starship doesn't work hundreds of thousands of millions of people will be very sad yes and that'd be a lot of money spent Space X keeps trying until they make it work yeah I guess that's how I would say it too so yes very much a try again exactly and then also break it until it doesn't break yes if you're not breaking stuff you're not testing so that's what you told me data so it's good stuff Johnny Spacer saying that speaking of Blue Origin it looks like the BE4 engine is ready for reality finally toy Bruno Shedder Shedder was it one picture I can't remember but we saw multiple engines and he actually exists which is very good for Vulcan very good for nuclear until I see fire until I see fire it's just a fancy drain valve for a water tank yeah but the fact we connect we've actually seen photographic evidence of these engines existing ready to go to the Cape is like it's another step show me fire yeah you really you love fire I like fire who doesn't love fire fire is good fire is good so Robert points out that BE4 has fired on the test stands is that does that not satisfy your desire data cool story bro hahaha and we have seen them test fire so yeah oh look at here tickle stuff with the numbers BE4 has had 2500 seconds of testing that's a few seconds so I don't know I don't know how long the burn time is cool story cool story bro nearly 42 whole minutes cool story bro yeah that's good stuff show me fire yeah yeah yeah yeah hahaha Johnny Spacer I am unforgivingly relentless on this yeah no and unflinchingly too and yeah and Johnny Spacer that's a great one this is brilliant Starship has already flown just not to space yet which is true Starship has flown no they changed configuration too much yep I would argue that too so and that's a variant of Starship has flown just because you call it Starship doesn't mean it's the same thing an early development version of Starship has left the ground in A4 VW Polo is not a Lamborghini hahaha this is a car they're the same class of vehicle yep that's that's as much as the Starship that it's flown has has in common with the Starship that it's not I'm gonna let them go at it just continue to have my dinner go at it boys um also I would just like to say that VW do own Lamborghini so doesn't mean the design it's not the same it's not the same yeah it's the same same company so I'm just gonna throw that one out there that's fine it's not the same car you would be very disappointed if you paid $250,000 for a Polo hahaha um it's not the same car it's not the same car hahaha um I was gonna say I have a Jeep Renegade I'm not gonna beat around the bush knowing that that's a Fiat body there's underpinnings of a Fiat underneath it so there is no question about how different those are it's and this is not the argument that everything is the same it deflates to a sandwich so well as you know my opinion I believe in radical sandwich anarchy so it is a sandwich this quesadilla I'm having sandwich I agree soda it's a sandwich slushy sandwich no there's air in here and it gets sandwiched between ice particles no not unless you eat the cup don't you tempt me hahaha this is not that show, Jared hahaha what's going on here yeah and if you've just tuned in and you're wondering Jamie's lost control of her show that's good to say, but here we're out of control um if you're just tuning in right now and you are thinking what the hell is going on we're not having our typical tomorrow live show that we went on a Friday night we're having a AMAA talk to me almost anything with myself Ryan and Dutta at your disposal yes you can ask us almost anything what do we mean by almost anything almost anything basically you can ask whatever question you like and if we can't answer it we'll just say we can't answer it so and that's something that could happen because we're exactly you can say whatever you want but we can't yeah I so that's exactly how it goes down with that there oh Kyle's asking a Kyle asking the tough questions tonight is the space launch system a shuttle sandwich yes well technically there's no shuttle so how does that work yes it is hi girls hi mini dentists are you guys dancing get up dance burn some energy off run around in circles and tire yourself out you're your dad get to work nice very nice this is a deconstructed shuttle sandwich very nice very nice that's amazing tickle stuff you've always got the good ones Daniel's saying that the core stage is an SRB sandwich which you're not wrong it is sandwiched between two SRBs so I will accept that one yes our chat room is on fire tonight y'all are making it happen that's good we appreciate that asking the real tough ones tonight and the SRBs themselves are an ammonium perchlorate wrap as a sandwich a wrap as a sandwich sorry so the SRS is a sandwich of sandwiches it's sandwiches all the way down it's literally a sandwich this is what happens when Jamie leaves the salon it is a sandwich lofting system I can't believe it Mike's saying that the chat has more fire than the BE4 that is what I have observed yes all a rocket lab question I'm excited about rocket lab at the moment so I'm going to talk about that do you think rocket lab will try and catch again soon their next catch attempt I believe will be later in the year not their next launch they will try and catch again they've not given up because they got so close they caught the rocket with a helicopter they just couldn't hold on to it because the pilot reported that it felt weird and obviously the crew inside the helicopter their lives matter a lot more than the booster I appreciate rocket lab's tenacity yes that's exactly what it is I think they will do great things I agree 100% and they still recovered the booster it just had to splash down instead they still got it a little salty salt's not bad for aerospace components right it's only the most corrosive thing yep that's right short of acid you guys there's acid at work that's about to say it's about the last place I would do that at Johnny I agree with that I think rocket lab really coming out with the big satellite package they'll build your satellite the photon if you want to launch loads of them you just put them on neutron but if you only want to launch a couple it's kind of like do you want a constellation here's our solution here's our solution do you want to make a satellite here's our solution satellite I think Peter Beckett has a lot more more hat to eat though because he was pretty adamant that they weren't going to do that and they did it and the amount of hat that he ate did not did not satiate my desires and how to buy two strands yeah come on step up the hat eating game so here's a good one from Kyle I thought it was great just because it's always good to do stuff like this which is what space opinion of Jamie's do you disagree with the most you've got to try and stir the crew up so we all disagree with the most uh oh and speaking of guess who's watching Atlantis is not the best uh oh look at this in the chat I can't believe it Jamie's watching uh oh in trouble first part of that question uh a lot Atlantis is not the best Atlantis is not the best everyone cool it moms here I'm not eating have not been eating at the table for the whole show nothing to see here just go back to having your hair done or whatever it's fine everything went absolutely flawlessly so beautiful it was amazing so on time I'm surprised there's video on screen all the debris is in a nice neat little pile so that's a good thing we swept it up right where to go oh can I get the pin from my Casper computer also um yeah and seriously Jamie we do actually need that that's not a joke you do need that if you've got it discord it to Dada please Ryan what was your space opinion of Jamie's that you disagree with the most um it's gonna have to be the Atlantis thing I mean it's just ridiculous it's it's just it's it's stupid the only thing Atlantis did was do the last fight of the shuttle it's the only thing it has to its name there's just nothing else it's just unacceptable holy smokes that that was even I'm like hey you gotta give Atlantis a little credit for something like it definitely didn't it deploy Hubble? it didn't do anything extra special though that's my point it didn't do anything extra special I thought it didn't we were just looking at the roster of shuttles who's gonna fly the last flight they're like Atlantis we feel bad for you you haven't really done much we'll let you do the last flight just so you have something to your name you know wow I mean it wasn't actually planned to oh no Discovery deployed Hubble right yeah that's why Discovery is the best channel because Discovery deployed Hubble well I mean I always have thought Endeavour's the best one because it fixed Hubble so yeah well it wasn't Discovery's fault Hubble didn't work in the first place no it wasn't but Endeavour came and saved the day so I'm just I know but if it wasn't for Discovery there would have been nothing to save just saying what is I think it what did Atlantis deploy I didn't see now I can't believe I'm doing this but here I am making it happen you don't know everything about the shuttle program no I don't isn't that tough well Atlantis did the final Hubble servicing mission so that which one could argue was maybe one of the most dangerous space shuttle missions of all time so you have that oh so it did deploy two major things it deployed Magellan to Venus and Galileo to Jupiter so it was the first space shuttle to launch an interplanetary probe so you're welcome you're welcome I just think NASA felt bad for Atlantis because it didn't really do anything so they're just kind of like yeah we'll just sprinkle you a couple core missions and that'll do you know it doesn't really have anything too big going for it it's a mythical island anyway on STS-71 that it flew it was the 100th US crewed space flight it was the first US shuttle Russian space station mere docking and joint operations on orbit and the first on orbit change out of a shuttle crew as well and when they were hooked up they were the largest spacecraft in orbit at that time so in case you're wondering so some things that Atlantis did but is that fans that fans saying no story must grave save trouble yes that is true thank you for the corrections that fans that fan one day I'll be able to talk about that night so fun one that is definitely a I cannot talk about that thing with story must grave so that was a fun one one day one day or you'll just have to read about it when the book about my life comes out after I'm dead so something like that we'll figure it out mine about astronomy is that yes astronomy and cosmology and astrophysics and things like that can make compelling stories so not that they don't allow it but I just I feel like it can't be so that's my opinion who gets to five launches first Vulcan, New Glenn or other like Starship Neutron, SLS that's a good question Kyle I'm gonna say genuinely looking at it now it's gonna be between Vulcan or Starship because we don't really have a firm date on Starship it depends on multiple factors which we don't really have an incredible amount of information on like regulatory approval our SpaceX actually ready to fly Starship they haven't really to the best of my knowledge they haven't really revealed too much post orbital flight test we don't really know what's gonna be coming after that if they're gonna go for another one straight away if they're gonna wait a little while before going for another one however Vulcan I feel like they've actually got hardware that exists they've got a launch pad that can launch Vulcan that's been proven that it can launch vehicles before I think it's gonna be quite close between Vulcan and Starship but at the moment I'd probably say Starship because of the fact that Vulcans scheduled launches um they're still gonna be atlas five flights it isn't just all gonna be Vulcan straight away there's still there's not an incredible amount of stuff already scheduled for Vulcan I think it wasn't Amazon's project Kuiper gonna have a lot of Vulcan flights as well Starship is gonna have the starting version two flights so it depends how quickly SpaceX want to pump them out that's what I'm trying to think about will SpaceX pump them out like super quick or will they hold up on that that's what I'm not sure about gotcha very very cool what about you Dada what you think out of that amazing list also somebody said Ariane 6 as well in the chat can't forget our European friends with that right I think if there's any DOD missions to work on ULA has a better shot I think Vulcan yeah I'm going with Vulcan too just because it seems like seems like Starship every week there's a new part of it and changing things is I understand changing things is a part of a process obviously but there's also sometimes where there's so much it makes it difficult and I think there's still a lot of growing pains occurring in certain aspects of it it turns out thus far people paying to launch rockets are quite risk averse yeah turns out I was not aware of that so so don't look at me I don't know so so yeah there you go there's our opinions on something like that so yeah there's a lot it's a really good it's been a really nice decade to be a space fan so and everything that's been in development is finally coming on line which is the most exciting part of it isn't that cool and I remember when Vulcan wasn't called Vulcan so I can't remember what it was called it was something pretty lame but it wasn't Vulcan so where we at oh yeah Seki here's got a great one which is are any new Chinese rockets coming because they're a thing too right you gotta remember China is definitely launching a lot I believe if I recall correctly China are working on new stuff it's just kind of hard to get information about that new stuff because they're not particularly very good at sharing that stuff with the rest of the world or the general public in general so I'm 99.9% I'm 100% China are working on new rockets all the time we just don't know too much about them we just haven't seen the video from a person in China yes yeah also oh hey everybody's checking in now Joe Bodin also saying ISRO the India Space Research Organization they had a lot of momentum at one point so yeah I really feel like the next space agency that's going to launch people to space is going to be ISRO so I think they're going to beat the European Space Agency because I know the European Space Agency is talking about making their own vehicle to launch their own astronauts on and I'm pretty confident ISRO is going to beat them to that so go ISRO so super cool I love it so and Gary King how much research time does it take to produce tomorrow space news well for me personally I'd say at the moment I'm around so for every minute of video that equates to about 45 minutes to an hour of research and scripting so if you think like the last news was 12, 13 minutes I believe multiply that by 45 to 60 quite a bit of time spent on research, scripting and all the rest of it yeah back when I was participating in space news it was I was pretty much at a good solid 20 hours of work total throughout the week in order to make my contributions to space news happen so yeah so it is not a small amount of time and I'm very confident that people don't have a entire and complete understanding as to how much time it takes even to do something like that it's also not a small amount of work like you have to pick the stories that you want to talk about you have to research the hell out of them sometimes some of that lands on the cutting room floor sometimes you have too many stories or not enough stories so you gotta go research some more you gotta write your script and figure out and not sound like you're just parroting somebody else's work and edit edit edit edit edit edit edit and then you have to practice and then you have to record it you have to set up your camera gear and lights you have to get all your media and your images and your videos processed and do a format and a resolution that you can work with you have to time it so that the airplanes going into LAX don't mess up my audio that is a unique problem to Jared luckily I don't have that problem and then put it all together and then set it to render and then realize that you screwed something up and set it to render again and realize that you screwed something else up and set it to render four more times yes or like my old macbook pro would just conk out it would just overheat and be like nope I'm done and then you gotta upload it too which if you have internet like I do here in one of the one of the largest urban centers in the world it would take literally overnight to upload an episode because that's what happens when you only have one internet provider in your area so they can do whatever slow speed they want so good times Apollo asks 45 seconds yeah yeah troubleshooting is the worst bit sometimes that takes 45 minutes I mean it depends who you are if you're Jamie you just go like and it works you gotta do that apart from Jamie Jamie does it in a fashion that she calls automatically it takes a bit longer Jamie will walk through the door 10 minutes live and see that there's several computers that need updates hit the updates, crush it, and then hit the live button and be on schedule she's magic I'm not yeah and zapfanzapfan asks how many of you will be on site for the psyche launch which I'm gonna do a really smooth segue here to go for me I'm gonna be there and it's gonna be really exciting and I'm definitely gonna be getting loads of recorded footage for everybody and I'm also, I also want to broadcast it live how that will work is still currently in development if that's possible also still under consideration however that is the dream that is the plan that's what I want to do and if you want to help do that you can head over to the GoFundMe page which I will link in chat in a second and we are already passed halfway there and we are not past the halfway point between the start of the campaign and actually flying out which means that we're probably gonna hit the 7000 pound goal which I want to hit in order to go so thank you to everybody who's already contributed and if you'd like to contribute as well I will now get you the link and I'll put it in chat excellent, thank you for that we'll pop that link up as soon as you get it on there there you go ready, steady there you go there you go if you want to help out even if you just want to share it even if you just want to copy the link and share it I'd also really appreciate that because that would make sure that more people on this earth or off of it see it and can contribute to it if you're watching on your TV trace that with a Sharpie and then you can go back Lord Lord send Ryan to Psyche's lunch so that's all I'm gonna say so I was gonna say we have some reminiscing happening in the chat room tonight which is Johnny Spacer saying I miss the days and when tomorrow is broadcast out of Jamie and Carrie Ann's home so now we have a space station that's definitely in space yes we're here in space see look at how smoothly I'm turning that can only happen in space so come on that's when I started from there my control room was there a guest bedroom yeah it was I remember that so before that oh even before I came on wow how many of you knew that I was actually a guest first on tomorrow that's right I was a tomorrow fan first so yeah see I was actually thinking about this last night I remember asking questions in the interview with Lindsay Elkins Tanton the principal director or whatever of Psyche Jade and Athena interviewed her on the show I remember asking questions in chat as a tomorrow fan and now I'm going to be launching of Psyche as a tomorrow presenter which is that is something I never thought would have happened that's not it's kind of as happened and yeah I was not expecting that life has changed and it's kind of cool yeah yeah Tickle Stuff says that the station 204 is geostationary and you are correct yes because the planet does not move we are perfectly in a perfect geostationary orbit around the planet that is behind us planet calf we are tidally locked with planet calf so we are always facing one side so yeah always facing the same side so just like Pluto and Sharon and then planet calf is tidally locked to the star that it orbits so the brightness levels are always exactly the same definitely so I was going to say I didn't get around to posting about it maybe I should but actually just this week me and Dada celebrated a decade of knowing each other and having met up in spaceflight stuff so it's pretty cool so sonic booms and stuff sonic booms yeah both of us looking young and fresh I looked like a big I looked like Ryan almost at that point like I was still like like actual skin and stuff like that opening doors you're not supposed to open oh yes boy did we taking photos and directions we were not supposed to take photos making the docents nervous touching things that belong to the Smithsonian oh yes for those of you that don't know myself and Dada we knew each other from Twitter before with that but we both got selected to go to a NASA social at NASA Armstrong back in 2012 back when it was called Dryden and we had a very good time I got to say so we were trying to open the S there's a door that had SR 71 personnel only written on it so we obviously everybody tried to open that door we were also instructed not to take photos in certain directions of Rogers dry lake because that's where Edwards Air Force Base was the only problem was that you know we're not really paying attention we already had yeah we already well before we were told not to we already had snap snap snap snap oh don't take pictures in that direction I'm sorry I'm sorry what snap snap snap that was so wild having Air Force folks escort us around with the NASA folks I don't know if they were having a good time or not but we were definitely there was definitely some nerves amongst the people oh we got to sit in sit in F-18 yes and get our pictures taken hell yeah nice wide-angle shot sitting in the F-A-18 cockpit so I barely fit I was too tall so as usual so especially with the Mohawk I didn't have my Mohawk at that time no you would have been so no that was about a half a year before the Mohawk came around so I feel like this is a good one from Apollo which actually I feel like all three of us should answer this which is how did Ryan become a part of tomorrow so we could start Ryan so if I remember this correctly Jamie put out a tweet in sometime in the latter part of 2019 saying that she needed a new SpaceX presenter for the news because you know she works there and she can't talk about it and I said I'd like to do it I was added to an email group thing and then she asked everybody in this email group thing can you produce an example segment of the latest news as if it was going to be in the the tomorrow news show and I did that and then a few weeks later she sent me a message on Discord said that she'd like me to be in the show and I have been in the show ever since and that was uh I think it was like the second or third week of January in 2020 and I've been here ever since very nice it all started when I met a gentleman by the name of Dada on Twitter back when Twitter was actually a really nice place to be when you could actually see what people were having for lunch and you could also and Jamie's not here so I think I can say this and you could ask Elon questions and get real answers so and she's fired so we met at the Dryden Social and we kept in contact with that and I guess you all needed a guest or something that's my understanding of it and what were you talking about I was talking about why rocket geeks should also be astronomy geeks because I am both and it's really a rarity, I was unaware of this but I came on and talked about it we had a really good time that after dark was really fun in case you didn't know that you used to be in an after show called tomorrow after dark but we basically just did shenanigans the entire time and I think that was the one where Jamie hit Cary Ann twice with the table and I was like what were you doing that in feet or meters and I could hear you laughing from very far away, it was a good one and apparently I guess I did so good they were like hey let's go to Disneyland which I later found out is not actually you've done good it's just that this is how we operate which is good I like it and we got to talking and in the line for Indiana Jones this is back when Jamie had to stand in lines in the line for Indiana Jones in the Temple of the Forbidden Eye I got asked point blank would you want to be a correspondent for tomorrow and I said sure let's see what happens so I got to do space pods once a month and then in December I can't remember who it was that couldn't be there but I was asked to come in and fill in an interview and I ended up, my first interview was William Pomerance the VP of special projects at Virgin Orbit and the rest is history I was on the Saturday show every day from then that's me loving every second of it it's amazing tomorrow I'll save my life it's great in 2010 when I drove to Florida to see not a space shuttle launch you saw a ground umbilical carrier and I saw issues with the ground umbilical carrier plate I kept on seeing signs around the Kennedy Space Center saying NASA social, NASA social blah blah blah and so I got on Twitter and I can't even remember who I think it was craft class there was somebody that was in the social that I found at a restaurant and they told me to follow them and at the time Twitter only showed you the replies and responses from people that you had that you followed and so I would look at somebody saying something and see who they were replying to and go follow them and one of the people that I ended up following was Carrie Ann and she a couple months later posted on Twitter that she was going to Disney and I asked if it was Disney Florida or Disney Anaheim she said Anaheim and my partner at the time and I joined them for their jaunt into the park we ended up hanging out and everything was cool and then a couple months later I got a message asking if I wanted to try to push buttons on a TV show and here I am nine years later yeah so some of us have been here a while frankly all of us have been here a while with that so it was really really fun so yeah head crap Jared in awe interviewing the Skylab astronaut was great well prepared honestly that is my favorite moment I have had on tomorrow was getting to interview Jerry Carr that was great most of all because one I feel like astronauts are the best of our species they're the top people not only are they very good at what they do they're also just really good humans in general I've never met I've met one not so great astronaut which I mean reputation and yeah I had sort of a narrative I wanted to tell through that interview and I really didn't have to do much because I think Jerry kind of caught it and that I was going to go step by step through his career because I felt like everything led into what he eventually did and I super appreciate that I got to ask him about the mutiny and settle that which it was not so you can take that one to the bank because the guy who was in charge of the mission and was actually there said it did not happen so that's that okay to elaborate Apollo is asking me care to elaborate on the not so great astronaut well Apollo think about your name and that's all I'm going to say I'll tell those stories one day so I guess that's one I can't answer that at the moment this is remember this is an ask us almost anything so yeah search space jerry car or tomorrow the tomorrow era tomorrow jerry car in fact I'll just run into the chat and I'll grab it real quick so so so I'm going to go with that says I miss old tomorrow with after dark article stuff says bring back after dark my response to that is if you're a YouTube member it basically still exists it's just not called tomorrow after dark we just keep going after the show and the same kind of shenanigans still happen tomorrow after dark tomorrow after there it's always dark somewhere I was wearing red shoes that day thank goodness the interview went okay oh here's a good question from JTTV what is cooler engineerity the Mars helicopter or the James Webb space telescope or Mars helicopter this is a hard one engineerity is cool that we can prove we can fly like with air on another body but JWST literally unlock stuff that we've never been able to see before in incredible it's an incredibly high resolution compared to the equipment we had in space previously so they're both like they're both innovators it's just which one is a bigger innovator is what I'm not sure about to me the James Webb space telescope is cooler because it's at 40 Kelvin so thank you you got dad jokes I'm really trying so hard to figure out how to answer this in the most diplomatic way possible because I absolutely love both of them but I have to say in terms of technology that is going to help out on future missions in exploration it is definitely ingenuity I feel like that is going to help out a lot in in terms of missions within our own solar system so James I feel like they're two completely different things because they're doing they're doing two different jobs in two different kind of areas of work that's how I would say it I'm just saying I can't see anything JWST produces yes you can yes you will it's got near infrared capabilities I don't well that's your problem I can't see it I literally cannot see it there are animals on this planet that can see those wavelengths this is your problem not James Webb's problem I'm just saying I can't see it fair asking me to pick ingenuity or James Webb is like saying which foot is your favorite I don't even know how to answer that so I have no clue oh well of course yours would you would pick your right your right foot take a stop saying flight rate but JWST has a high spend rate you cannot you cannot beat JWST's spend rate no and I hope it is never beaten I don't want that to happen again and I hope ingenuity gets gets to live as long as JWST has yes that'd be great I'd love ingenuity to be to live long enough to live as people on the surface of Mars nah you said buzz it was buzz it was a clue I got it what's up nothing alright I'm looking for stuff looking for stuff in our chat here with all of y'all today thanks for being here if you're just joining us wondering what the heck is going on we're doing a ask me almost anything today so it's just neat how neat is that another named which I can't pronounce RGJJ John a Juan a Juan a Juan anyway they say that dragonflies coming up yes dragonfly is coming up he's going to Titan it's a very cool mission yes it is it's really coming up it's a nuclear powered octo octodrone the size of a car what more could you put in a youtube title that's awesome I love it somebody asked if the soma bar ever happened no it has not never has so I will say this in 2019 there was some burger place I went to that was near my house there was a soma bar in it blew my mind nobody in there could understand why I was so obsessed with it I literally sat at the counter right next to it because I was like I just need to bask in its glory because it's the that's a good one Kivas very nice we appreciate those are those taco packets Jared they sure are because I got food before I came and then everything was broken until the show came on and it meant that I couldn't eat because I was standing there looking like I was helping you were stressing about what's up you were stressing about things being broken yeah well somebody had to you weren't you were calm cool and collected so somebody had to pick up the slack in the stress areas that's what I do yeah work the problem yeah I still got two pieces of this chicken quesadilla to go but I think I'm actually going to save that for later I'm going to make a lot of noise real quick sorry oh no I dropped it on the floor while it was still in the bag alright what should we go next this one looks nice from upon CH4 will dream chaser launch on ULA's second flight of Vulcan I'm going to say yes because they both look like they're getting pretty close to it and I also believe they're contracted to fly on the second flight of Vulcan yeah and I'm super excited because space plane who doesn't space plane that can actually like deliver stuff to a space station yes and then return it to earth yes and that is it landing at the shuttle landing facility initially I don't I don't know I don't have a computer to be able to look it up so if Jamie can send me the pin for that Ryan that was great sorry it's just a chat please so we can tell you Daniel says SLF or Edwards I think so the internet has spoken those seem to be the two two options yeah that's carryover from shuttle infrastructure I want to say that I had heard that they had a possibility of landing elsewhere to deliver a payload fast New Mexico to whoever needed it because it doesn't need three miles of runway to land so they didn't need three miles to land during his test because it's front gear okay so first of all shut up secondly I also think that Sierra space are gonna do a deal with Huntsville airport and lands there as well which would be interesting because it's a it's a normal airport oh my god the sonic booms yeah and the United Nations office for outer space affairs also wants to use that scraping scraper face actually I think it was more like roller McRolling body or something like that right no it didn't roll over oh it didn't roll no well then what happened I want to say it was I thought it was the front gear maybe it was one of the side gear it was one of the side gear that didn't deploy but it didn't deploy so it just leaned on its side so it's leaning McLean face I thought that it ended up going did not roll over I thought that the lean ended up making it go off of the runway and then that's where all the bad stuff happened but then they did cut the footage well before that I can't figure out why because they said no they said that it went through very well and that if there had been astronauts in it they would have been a okay so I don't know I mean SpaceX blows up stuff in front of a camera all the time so what do you think this is the million dollar man six million dollar man we can rebuild it faster better what do you think this is the opening credit to the six million dollar man there you go the vehicle skidded off the runway in a cloud of dust but was found upright so you're correct Edda I'm wrong you're right excellent cool stuff so okay look I just I gotta make sure so my memory is foggy on a lot of things but when it comes to space planes but when I when I speak I remember that's great that's great I'll be the first to tell you I don't know oh yeah me too I definitely try to do that so typical stuff the cost plus man the cost plus contract man ching ching Apollo has asked do we know if there will be any new guests on the show my response to that is that's really a question for Jamie but yeah it's this kind of format that we have going on now kind of works reasonably well in my opinion yeah we seem to get into a good groove now yeah it's just do we would introducing guests into this format work or would that work in a different way so that's just kind of like yeah is it that's more of a Jamie question definitely I can answer this one from Miguel Puga which is what's the next big astronomical event I've got solar glasses in my save for later I assume that's like you say for later box something like that it's actually going to be get ready for this a lunar if you're watching right now I'll have to specify but there's going to be a lunar eclipse a week from Sunday that is May 15 for those of you a total lunar eclipse where the moon will travel through the shadow of the earth and make flat earthers scream and wet their pants for three hours so as they see it ends up being a round shadow let me see if I can find the times it's going to be happening if you are in South America and the South America the eastern part of Central America the Caribbean or the Midwest and the east coast of the United States and the eastern portion of Canada whatever you call yourselves and all of Antarctica you're going to be able to see the whole enchilada you'll see the whole thing if you're going to be in Africa or Europe you're going to be able to see it as the sun rises but you may not be able to catch all of it and then for us here the western Midwest and the west coast of the United States and Canada you'll catch it just after sunset as the moon rises from the horizon and in fact here in LA it'll be rising in the middle of the moving into the umbra the deep dark part of the earth's shadow so I can't wait to see like somebody took a big bite out of the moon as it's rising and Australia you're not going to get it very sorry also Asia as a whole as well he ain't getting it very sorry about that and New Zealand you are going to get it you're just going to get the end portions of it right at moonrise so yeah so really where you should be is the eastern seaboard of North America and Central America anywhere in South America and anywhere in Antarctica those will be your best places however remember a total lunar eclipse is a very long thing they last five six hours you know a couple of hours as it slides down with it there I think the moon will be spending not five or six hours I'm sorry three or four hours feels like five to six hours because I always work on them and we can see them make rift at the observatory like we will which we will be open for that if you like to come watch and we'll be streaming it live as well there's my plug for that and yeah remember kids don't look directly at the moon you can look at the moon a total a lunar eclipse you totally can now solar eclipse don't be doing that you have to wait till totality and you have to be in the path of totality before you could do it and R1A as well making a very good point which is make sure that your old solar eclipse glasses have not developed pinholes like little punctures in them at least if you have the cheap ones if you look at the sun and it kind of starts hurting then that's probably not great usually the I just stare at the sun it's great usually the rule is whenever you got your solar eclipse glasses after about two years they're toast so even if they've been sitting in like a climate controlled area just assume after two years that they're toast simply because vision is something that you obviously don't want to mess up yeah yeah I'm not sure when the next solar eclipse is I know for us here in the United States April 8th 2024 I want to say yes that is the next eclipse that will go across the United States and I am not going to be here for that I'll be in Texas probably off-roading somewhere to try to find the longest amount of time in the moon's shadow Vax yeah good advice do not look at laser with remaining good eye well if you think about it the sun is a deadly laser so there was a question day launches versus night launches and why go my opinion is twilight and dawn they're the best times why so the sky is already dark however as the rocket ascends because of physics and the way the angles work it will still be lit up by the sun so the rocket will be easier to see and then you get awesome footage that we saw with Cosmos Skymed 2 with SpaceX where you can see stuff happening on the rocket in space from the ground that's rad so mine would have to be twilight launches just a little bit after sunset and that's mostly because of where we are I have very much a Vandenberg bias and the sun needs to be setting in the east in order to get those amazing jellyfish displays that happen in the morning because the sun is on the opposite side of where the rocket is and you cannot go out into the middle of the pacific to watch it the people at Vandenberg tend to get a little touchy about that but they're pretty cool with you standing in a safe spot for a sunset launch so I love that when you're actually able to see a launch at Vandenberg I should say Vandenberg is the best but I got to see it Vandenfog absolutely so yeah they're good I love them they're great it's the sea 2008 says their favorite launches are the ones where they're sleeping and then it wakes them up from the rumble thank you a person from China we're going to be using that to the end of time I could not figure out where it came from I couldn't figure out where the footage came from I believe that to be a valid credit in space news we put credits to everything that we can not everything that we can we put credits to everything because that's how we operate and I could not figure out where this footage came from in China for the launch it was authentic for that launch so I literally just put a person in China and that has apparently become it's a thing I've used that I've made a person at Starbase for the booster 7 photo because it was taken by someone at Starbase but we don't know who tickle stuff that's very true the rocket does come to you in China so it's a speedy delivery oh no the algorithm sorry Jamie has appeared in the chat again asking why are the sits so much more awesome than the rebels they pay better wouldn't say more awesome would say more badass yeah they definitely are they definitely they've got the aesthetics down pretty good yeah like the look and especially the entrances they're very good at an entrance to a place who is excited for LB1 I'm a little bit excited for it it's gonna be fun Apollo says I love the smell of hypergalls in the morning shades of last week Jay DeVau hold on Jay DeVau here very good point just that sith don't put raisins in cookies that's true they have cookies they do have cookies that is true DJ Ockdown says home deliveries are not available for insurance in China somebody order a rocket whose rocket is this look at this it's sitting in my lawn get it out get off my roof stupid rocket why are you spilling all that orange smoke everywhere get it out I'm not dead yet oh Jamie I feel so sorry for you what a terrible thing just in case anybody doesn't know what we're talking about this is what we're talking about oops oops well that was my rose garden they're just making a rocket garden in a forest very nice that's how you clear out that's how you do logging in China artificial reefs don't work in the forest it's very true it's good observation Jamie has purple in her nice have you twittered pictures photos or it didn't happen lightsabers more elegant weapons for more elegant time was it elegant though up until ordered execute order 66 so good at that Johnny Spacer says free aluminium from the sky I mean it's true you're not wrong and Jamie says that there's going to be no pictures until she's fully in costume so we're just going to have to wait I love this that Jamie's going full in on it I mean I was expecting that anyhow I'm excited I can't wait to watch one great there's another twitter person that I follow that did their trip it was a fun time to watch along and they got in trouble why did they get in trouble for passing out fake business cards as their character they totally bought into it they had fake business cards they were passing them out to people and the staff was like yeah oh my god that's great oh my god first of all I love that is amazing I love the fact that this person is implying that in the Star Wars universe there are still those people who just come to places and just here take this if you need me at any time I just love killing so it looks like an awesome experience people are saying that Jamie you need to come in costume at some point in the show so I agree I'm going to harass everyone as a Sith well I mean Jamie you don't have to be a Sith to do that let me tell you and now I'm fired she isn't I'm interested to see so I know Jamie will push the limits that you can do you love the fellowship with the nerds thank you DJ thank you appreciate it are you going to show up in costume tonight or later Jamie I honestly don't know how long we're going for that's the thing I don't know we'll have to figure that out this has been fun I'm really enjoying all these questions from me all are we winding down I feel like we might be winding down but I also don't know if we're doing a Minnesotan goodbye what was that wait hold on I missed it and Jared's dead somebody jiff it tickle stuff Jared likes it do you know well we were talking about airlocks last week so and the show is over I can't I

timed this was very well done oh my gosh like to take a moment to thank all of our citizens all of our members these people provide these people are why this is occurring if you have any complaints it is their fault all of these people are to blame every single one of them we have more we have more people to blame botched it botched it bork bork bork every single one of these names should be read aloud because that is because they have caused this today to occur what's that there if you had fun if you laughed like subscribe this is a terrible order this is completely backwards bot so what hey there you go very nice excellent and remember of course like and subscribe to us make that red subscribe go away we don't want to be red on the range get rid of the red don't be the reason we can't launch yep that's right help feed the algorithm like us send this to somebody that you think would like it like somebody send it to them too so you know that's just kind of the way it is right works pretty good also hit that notification bell so that way you can know when we're going to be going live when we do on Fridays at 1700 pacific time regardless of whether it's standard or daylight time it's just always at 1700 which will your mileage may vary depending upon where you are so yes so that's it yeah I guess we're done thank you all for joining us this was really fun obviously not our typical show that we'd be doing simply because we were broken for 45 minutes and hey are we going to do we delayed until late in the window but at least we didn't scrub that's true we didn't scrub tonight and that you all can thank data for that well done data so good job we got something in there are we are we going to do members after those what do we all think yeah usually we do a members only stream and yet that will start before we'll include the show and then go after the stream as well so that's it I don't really have anything more to say apparently Jamie is gobsmacked that we took 45 minutes to fix it we sure did Jamie because apparently computers don't exist in station 204 everything's put away so neat and tidy I couldn't find it Jamie you did your job a little too well and yeah that's it so sayonara we'll be seeing you and are we going to have a show next week members I just put the link in chat there to view us in future and I think the plan for next week is to do a community show awesome but as we can as we can see hopefully zoom will need to work for that obviously so that that one may be on standby okay okay so it seems like we're sorted then so yeah we're going to be talking to actual people next week so yeah join us for that but for now goodbye general public if you want to see us more become a member bye everybody push buttons and things
