Well, hello there friends welcome to tomorrow this week. We've got some exciting news on the docket you voted We listen we are gonna talk about straddle launch And also Blue Origin launched recently and they actually recorded it They are one step closer to sending us flesh bags into space We're gonna talk all about that plus more here on tomorrow orbit 12.04 Real quick introductions, my name is Jade. I am your resident person sitting in a chair talking to you at the camera This here's Jared. He is our astronomer in residence of tomorrow I've got here a carry and and of course she is the voice of the community as well as our resident Ben Wrangler And of course our lovely Lisa our science specialist So we're just gonna go ahead and dive right on into it So you you folks voted about what you'd like us to discuss up here And it looks like straddle launch is something and that's along a lot of people's minds. Yeah So it's it's it's really been a big news item the past couple of weeks With everything going on with it just because there's been like some big shifts and and other things happening with it So what happened? Well, you know straddle launch was announced in December of 2011 And if you don't know what straddle launch is it was a venture by Paul Allen and Burt root 10 That really actually started in 2010 And it's a carrier aircraft and that carrier aircraft is the biggest part of the straddle launch system And if I recall correctly, it's actually the biggest airplane that's ever been made in terms of by wings Yeah, we're not talking about what was the one the the loosey-goosey the sprucey goose the spruce goose, right? That one was like that was huge, right? That was a totally different thing the nice thing is that um, so what Ben did in case you missed it There was actually a news section of like what we would normally do on the show of just presenting and Ben to kind of took that out of the show and put that in its own thing So but you guys voted on it, which is really amazing And so like Jade said we listened to what you said and we have the news that That Ben presented and then we're talking a little bit more about, you know Our opinions on on the straddle launch sort of situation one of the questions that I had specifically was the straddle launch the whole deal was that you have this huge plane, right? Yeah, and then you've got the rocket that essentially like drops down from it and then continues to exactly launch like like yeah, right? Yeah, so Originally in 2011 they actually had a specifically designed SpaceX Falcon rocket that they were going to use called Falcon Air, which is only going to have four engines And it was going to do about 6,000 kilograms to orbit So that was that was their original plan, but then they cut ties in 2012 with SpaceX and said we're going to go do our own thing and They started to work with orbital sciences to develop a new type of rock rocket called the Pegasus 2 And then the sciences which we came over to ATK, which became Space Division of Northrop Grumman. Yeah. Yeah orbital ATK a space division of Northrop Grumman But so like why I would I so like Virgin Galactic or sorry Virgin orbit. Yeah So is this like a is this a viable option for launching small payloads like because I feel like if Straddle Launch was already doing this way back in the day Like why aren't they already doing it now? Exactly saying and or like why isn't virgin orbit already doing it by now then see I mean Well, it's supposed to just timelines, you know virgin orbit starting from scratch with what they had straddle launch was trying to start from scratch But they didn't end up succeeding all that well So now they've actually gone to the Pegasus XL vehicle, which is which is a launch vehicle It's already in it's already flying. They usually attach it to a Lockheed I can't remember the name of it. It's Yeah And they attach it to the bottom and then they release it and it sends its payload off into orbit and you can do Low Earth orbit equatorial or you could do Sun synchronous orbit with it And really the advantage of air launch is that you can hit any launch as myth or any launch direction that you want to Because you don't have to launch from like say Vandenberg You can actually go out over the ocean like a thousand miles to the west the Vandenberg air force base and then launch from there So that's advantage, but that's exactly my question So like actually Daniel Palmer off of YouTube in the chat room says strata is dead It failed it failed the end moving on. Um, it failed the end. Sorry I was trying to like read it and not reading it correctly. Um, yeah But that's the thing like okay, so it sounds like a great idea Why hasn't this happened and why has an orbit like is it money money? Yeah, I mean Didn't have not money though in development time, too You know strata launch tried to develop their own rocket through someone else Mm-hmm, it just didn't end up working out So and that's it's grand plan to not just have one type of rocket, but they they're having multiple types of medium Class launch vehicles that they wanted to do and they even have a plane a plans to do a space plane And so I guess I don't know I don't want to be like Oh, that's their downfall because they decided they wanted to branch out and then once they split their resources over all these different variants Look how cool that is. I mean it's cool, right? But if you can't even develop like, you know, your First launch show that you can start putting payloads on and earning money What what's the point of Diverging and trying to build a space plane and a medium class and a heavy class and a like medium and a half class Because you're just spending all these resources to do multiple things and not getting any money for what? So what's the phrase?  Yeah That sort of idea and now they've had to compromise by going back to Pegasus XL and the thing about Pegasus XL is that it's expensive I can go 50 million. I can put my payload on a virgin orbit launcher one for one fifth of the cost and still get the Same amount of weight into whatever orbit. I want to put it in right So why would I go to straddle launch and end up doing that? So Beth says look Paul Allen also died and that's a big thing He was funding it personally. Yeah, exactly. So like yeah, like so what's what's happening now? Like what are exactly do we think that this is going to be a thing because they continue to have Like even just last last month. No this month this month, right earlier this month. They were like, yeah Hey, we got the like the fastest. Oh, yeah, they did a taxi test Yeah, a taxi test down the runway that even oh see there you go They even got the the wheels slightly off the ground for a hot minute. It is huge There's like there's no semi truck for you know to see how big it is, but it's big So I mean do we think that that's gonna be do we think that's gonna be a thing see what I'm saying? I mean, I want to believe in straddle launch because I think the plane is really cool And I know this spent many years and a lot of funds trying to make it happen But like I think the fact that they keep you know chopping and changing what they're gonna put underneath, you know and working with different companies and then trying to do their own thing and then going back to the Pegasus XL like When you keep chopping and changing like that, I don't think it bodes well for your company's future Rather than just kind of you know sticking down the one development path because every time you have to restart again Like that's wasted hours wasted time wasted money, you know and wasted talent sure so Lucen grow did I apologize if I'm butchering that name off of YouTube says Why is straddle launch man to couldn't apply higher if it was automated? Actually, I don't know that it is piloted. Um it is piloted One of the things is that I Obviously you are limited in how much weight you can carry and you also have to carry that fuel up as well for your rocket And it's the Pegasus XL a solid or yes Pegasus XL is solid So well, there's a couple of advantages there compared to version orbit then because virgin orbit It's doing our launch as well except its rocket the launcher one is like it's liquid fueled Right, you got to take your cryogenics up there, which you know Then there's a whole other level of complexity there because you know You got to try and keep it cold you got to worry about boil off And I think the way that virgin is doing it is they're gonna fuel on the ground fully fueled with your liquid propellant and oxidizer They're gonna fly up and then anything that boils off. They're just gonna let it boil off on the way, but then as Does it actually get that does the does this plane itself actually get that high? I'm like am I Misunderstanding something like you don't need to get so high right and then the rocket just drops and goes on it's Well, it's only so high you can go before your wings stop generating Especially if you're trying to carry the weight of a rocket up the altitude I think I think with straddle launch and virgin orbit. It's basically 40 to 50,000 feet in that regime there That's a nice regime because it gets you above most of the weather that you would have to worry about So you get a nice smooth deployment and a nice smooth initial launch with it Also, you've got a thinner atmosphere So your rocket has a little bit of an energetic advantage So it doesn't have as much friction to contend with and then also, you know You can get your plane up at a little bit higher of a speed Which means you get that extra oomph of speed from your plane as well So it gives you just a slight advantage in all three of those areas over say like a ground launch but I don't we're very far and away from having like like very like Medium to heavy orbital class rockets being carried by aircraft. Well Andy Cowley in the YouTube chat says just put a space shuttle under it Although John Ellis responds with yeah, you're thinking of launching a dream chaser from straddle launch Andy Cowley. Oh That would be cool. That would be really I think there was actually a plan to potentially use dream Straddle launch is a dream chaser launch are so Interesting yeah, baby's shuttle under a gigantic space plane that would be like the cutest space ever You know, it's really funny because the shuttle one of the transport options that they were developing for it back in the day It was was a two C5 galaxies attached to each other and it looked it looks a lot like the straddle launch carrier It does so really the history repeats itself tape it together So yeah, just do you go to some duct tape? Yes. All right. Really quickly. Nice So, uh, so what's going on with Blue Origin? That was other like big news this week. Yeah, they had their Their 10th flight of New Shepard and it was carrying eight different science payloads for NASA. We got the launch here. Let's check it out. I Love that drone shot. That's so cool. I do any drone shot seems to be just freaking awesome. Well, I mean, yeah, that's true as well So these eight NASA science payloads got to fly because of the NASA flight opportunities program which I feel like I'd heard of before but I didn't actually realize The good thing is is they got to have their payloads back because this is a reusable rocket Gosh, I love that shot that tracking shot of it coming down right at you. It's just so wobbly It's headed right for us That is magnificent be more comfortable like In this capsule because you know, it's kind of like the Soyuz where it has the, you know retro fire thrusters that like Inside of dust to make you touch down like one mile per hour or something Right, right, right, right. I know that this and Soyuz is the kind of the same and they look the same as it coming down But this one just feels like it would be a smoother ride. Yeah, it just looks nicer Yeah compared to Soyuz coming down also more room inside of it too and giant windows. Yes. Yeah, lots of room Lots of room and yeah huge windows those windows are like this. They're gigantic They have the record for like the largest windows That have you know, at least past the common line Yeah, I very much like those windows are bigger than most cars. Yeah, that's very true You know what I'm saying like sincerely the windows are like this big like I you can go on cruise ships with smaller windows Like I they're huge. They're absolutely. Yeah. I mean the windows on the cupola of the international space station are pretty big But but these windows are bigger than those if you can like imagine that I mean we've all seen If you haven't seen the images from the cupola before like google international space station cupola And it's just a beautiful beautiful thing that they added on to it Um, and yeah, those windows are big but compared to blue or the new shepherd windows. They are tiny Like you could literally like go up right into it, you know and look at it So maybe it's like maybe it's like flying a dreamliner, you know Like when you fly a dreamliner for the first time one of the things you notice is like, whoa, this window's big They're bigger than other airplanes windows out there. So yeah, the payloads on board got a fantastic view as well And there are eight they all have acronym names. So like I do have a cheat sheet here. Here we go. Yeah, we're gonna memorize Who's gonna memorize the eight the eight uh acronym. Well, actually, well, we don't do acronyms here Exactly. So I have to explain them all Um My favorite one was uh the They have a modal propellant gorging experiment basically um They're trying to solve a problem here where if you are in space and you've got your propellant in your tank So you need to know how much propellant you have in the tank because if you try to start your engine And maybe all the propellants are not back down at the end where the engine is and you get, you know, uh Not the right amount of propellant flowing into your engine You're gonna have problems and you also need to know how much is left because you don't really have, you know You can't go to a gas station in space and top up yet Yes, we're working on that the way that this experiment works is they take sound and they use sound to try and they Send sound waves into the tank and they get to see whether the fuel is sloshing around everywhere Or whether it's actually settled down at the bottom of the tank where you want it to be That's cool. Yeah They use little piezoelectric sensors on the sides of the tank take multiple measurements And then you know how much is in your tank and where the location of the fuel actually is That's kind of like when we measure when we use earthquakes to measure the interior of the earth So uh where we use the seismic waves traveling through the earth in the different times that they arrive at different places on the earth To figure out the interior structure. So that's really cool. Yeah It was similar to that. Yeah, and you know, that's what insight's doing on mars as well with its single size mom Wow, it's like nature knows what it's doing or something. Yeah, what? It just can't be what they're doing.  So this platform is it stays like bolted to the structure of the spacecraft While it's like taking off and going through the high g parts of launch But as soon as they reach microgravity the platform detaches and then the experiment could just kind of float around in its own little inertial Frame of reference and then you don't have to worry about the Spacecraft vibrations getting in the way. It's an experiment in a box A floating box a floating box. Wow There was another experiment that looked at the electromagnetic magnetic field inside and on the outside of new shepherd Which is just commercial off the shelf sensors to measure the electric and magnetic fields and apparently What they think is cool is if you get everybody starting to do sub orbital or orbital launches and you put these Magnetic field sensors like on the outside of the spacecraft Once the frequency of everyone doing sub orbital and orbital launches expands from multiple points around the globe You can use these measurements to take almost like a global snapshot of what the earth's magnetic field is doing And I don't know you guys might have like heard rumors of you know, the earth's magnetic poles are going to like flip over soon We didn't actually understand enough About the global magnetic field structure to be able to predict when or whether that's even going to happen But this might be a way to get enough data to kind of make that decision Yeah, and it might help us figure out things too like the south atlantic anomaly that uh that you know When spacecraft fly through it like Hubble, you know That's an area where the magnetic field really drops down and you get a lot more exposure to cosmic radiation In that area no no real solid explanation for it yet But I mean like when Hubble flies through it, they can't take data Because it just basically overloads the the systems on board. So let me help us figure out that so Interesting cool stuff. Yeah, really cool They had a an experiment that was originally on ISS that take basically just takes photos of Plants that have fluorescent proteins in them So the plants are going to glow a certain color and they have these cameras that automatically take photos of the plants at Certain points over the microgravity flight They just had to fix the timing on those so that they could take the time at the right time Because it's so orbital is a very different environment to being on the ISS So that was pretty cool. We have another one that's like looking at Think about like a pc computer and it gets like really hot And like if you're a gamer potentially, maybe you have a water cooling system in your pc Well, the next step up from that is something called embedded cooling Where instead of like flowing water through your pc to cool it You actually flow a non-conductive fluid Through like the the the boards themselves to cool it down You can't do that with water because if the water leaked everywhere, all your computer boards would like get fried Yeah, it's not good Water and electronics doesn't work very well Well then how do they clean it? Oh, wow The problem with this is that it's a two-phase flow, which means that there is The liquid phase and then it actually changes state to a gas and that's how it removes the heat from the system and keeps the Electronics cool Except we don't know enough about how that happens in microgravity to know if is the gas and the liquid going to flow exactly the same way that you expect So that experiment is is basically Boiling this non-conductive fluid through some electronics that are really warm and seeing like how It actually cools the electronics and whether it flows how it's supposed to and whether we use that to cool down electronics on spacecraft Very cool. Very interesting. And you know, maybe what are we what are we using right now to cool everything down? Um, usually it depends like a lot of spacecraft use radiators to get rid of a lot of that waste heat Um, yeah, the international space station uses, uh, ammonia as their uh, their heat transfer fluid. Got it. Yeah So so they pump ammonia through uh through these massive radiators that then go through Parts of the space station where heat's exchanged and then dumped overboard. Um, although they've been a little Uses water. Yes. Yeah, the Russian side uses water So it's a combo of those two and there's been a couple times Where the ammonia pump on board of the international space station's actually failed and then they have to go out and fix it Yeah, pack away at it.  So Um, they're also testing a another type of greening propellant. Um, it's called AFM 315e great name Yeah, good name But it's uh 45 denser than hydrazine. It has a greater isp Um, because it's denser and it actually freezes at a lower temperature You don't need to keep it that you don't need to worry about keeping it as cold or something like hydrazine It's also not as like terribly toxic as hydrazine.   I mean I understand the hydrazine's not good and I also understand that we have like electronic Smellers that can like analyze what you know and be able to tell us what it does smell like Um, but yeah, I'm I'm wondering just said just had a curiosity. Yeah. Well, if you know leave us a comment You know, if you've huffed hydrazine before leave us a comment below No, no I wouldn't recommend it.  I don't remember cyanide Right. Is it cyanide? I think it's cyanide. So don't ask me how I know this Nope, Beth answered cyanide. Whoops. Sorry. That was the wrong thing. Don't worry. I'm not pushing that one anymore. Okay, uh, cool So, um, what else do we have? We were talking about, um, I apologize. I totally lost the chat room for a hot minute I'm sure some of you also had some issues with that. So I was that's why I was so quiet for a while I was trying to do all of those sorts of things. Um opportunity.  And he's like, well, because you know, most likely Opportunity is gone. I said sure, but most likely opportunity has been gone for weeks now This feels like months like literally half a year. Yeah, no pun intended. But it feels like a dead story Um, so trying to figure out like why why we were doing it. Um, but uh, yeah, I mean, I'm sure I'm sure Especially my planetary people. Yeah, right? Yeah, you guys have some some fond memories of oppie in general You haven't had like an official goodbye. Yeah Kind of like with Cassini. That's true So they are still trying to get in contact with the opportunity one of the mars explorator The only mars exploration rover that had been operating up until the middle of last year 2018 Now they're looking for signals both an x-band and s-band being transmitted at the same time from From the antennae multiple antennae that are on Opportunity and they're basically doing like what they call a sweep and beef Which is they're basically trying to find it as much as they can at this point They think the internal clocks are so out of sync That that it may not that it may actually have battery power Once it gets once the solar panels get blown off, but the clocks are so out of sync that it's not gonna It's not gonna go. Hey, I should wake up right now So it may actually just stay Like a zombie state on the surface of mars where it's awake, but it's not communicating Is there a way to sync that up? Uh, no, it has to do it itself. So so in theory If we got a human over there, they also could not tinker it Uh, well, no, they should be able to tinker with it to make it happen. So just curious. Uh, yeah, so we could I don't know. I don't have any special plans Can we send Mars 2020 over with like a usb stick and like plug that into like that would be great But that's like that's like a thousand kilometers traverse in order to pull that off.  These graphics are crazy. Yeah This is the propagation of dust across the surface of mars And you know that dust storms here on earth are rather localized, you know, they you get some dust coming off of this air It may make it over to the amazon But it really doesn't get all that far on mars because of the thin atmosphere Dust is able to get carried all over the place And literally envelop the entire planet in a choking Layer of dust in the atmosphere and that's essentially what happened the dust cut off the Sunlight and then opportunity which runs on solar panels Was not able to generate enough power and it went into a low voltage state and it basically Turned itself off to preserve itself And it would have probably stayed on with its heaters on I also found out about this.  It's not like a lot of heat. It's like just barely enough to keep opportunity above the temperature of death for it And then also some they were hoping Advantagiously that in dust storms because there's material there to actually be Thermally conductive it actually gets a little warmer when a dust storm happens They were hoping that would have kept opportunity a little bit warmer as well, but I haven't heard from it. So got it But say it wakes up, you know with all of the experiments currently going on or all of the kind of Science currently going on mars if it wakes up what data I guess what i'm asking is is it worth the data that it would send back? Yes, absolutely So having a having an operational rover on the surface of mars is super important there Opportunity and curiosity were basically our geologists that were on the surface of mars You know sure a geologist could do what those rovers did in about 15 minutes But at the same time those geologists aren't there right now. So this is what we've got And this is endeavor crater or excuse me endurance crater where opportunity was at And a very large crater You know you could see it's the rim of it the rim of it on the other side far off in the distance And it was basically looking at an area where water had been flowing for very long periods of time before it died But but there's some really great memories that I have of opportunity such as it's landing when it landed in january of 2004 Using that airbag system and it just so happened that it bounced across the surface and then rolled into a crater So we literally launched it from earth it traveled, you know hundreds of millions of kilometers to mars Bounced on the surface and then it rolled right into a crater. That's like that's like the best hole in one Exactly. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was in the sixth grade. Mr. Benedetto fantastic teacher He was so just Like he had so much passion for nasa and space exploration, which as a kid I didn't quite appreciate as much as I would have now sure But I remember we watched it we watched simulations on the nasa website in the computer lab And I remember even as a little kid like this can't be real like I thought I was just watching like a This could happen someday in the future. It's like no, no, no, this is gonna happen and it happened Yeah, so yeah, it's like I think we all kind of experienced that when we were kind of well a lot younger obviously And the thing about uh opportunity is that a couple weeks beforehand spirit had landed and those those twin mars exploration rovers The entirety of their mission was basically to go and find evidence that the water had once been there So so journey the first rover in 97 was basically will a rover work So and it did so then they said okay now we want to follow the water Which is sort of nasa's policy on how they do science on the surface of mars So the mars exploration rovers are there to try to find evidence for that water Spirit landed opened up took photos all around itself. It landed in the middle of a volcanic plain The basalt everywhere Basically nothing that would tell you that water had once been there So so spirit basically landed in the worst possible place I don't want to say that there was disappointment from that But spirit ended up having a much harder life than opportunity did because When they opened up the panels and they took all the photos inside of eagle crater, which is where opportunity landed Literally on the other side of the crater bedrock With influence of water in it. Nice. So they literally drove like 15 meters to get the evidence of exactly what they needed So so opportunity was just super lucky and where it landed at, you know That's that that kind of luck is just fantastic And that's kind of what happened with opportunity because you know spirit had a lot of parts break down And it really had to fight for all the science that it did a spirit did end up finding Evidence of hydrothermal activity on the surface of mars, which is really cool So we know that there was water and a source of energy And uh curiosity ended up finding schnapps carbon hydrogen nitrogen oxygen phosphorus sulfur. So uh, so Spirit went to an area where the three things that life needs were present There um, but uh, but you know broke down and then it got stuck and then it died in 2010 But opportunity was able to drive over Literally an entire distance of a marathon. So over 26 miles I mean that's a lot if you think about it. So it really is It's a lot for a mission that was only supposed to last for 90 days Three months and we got 14 years out of opportunity. So that's impressive Like I know people who went through multiple cars in that time period You know, I learned how to drive in that. So if any of us are interested We happen to have some old footage of the launch. Yes, it's not even on 35 millimeter. Although it probably should be And the best part is it ben showed me this last night and I was like, wait, when did this launch again 2003? Yeah, july of 2003 look at that, huh? Did they launch on the same rocket and then they separated later a little bit Or oh no, uh each Mars exploration rover launched on their own rocket. So yeah, they got their own rocket That's a delta-2 in the heavy configuration with the really big solids Not it there big ground start solids, so So the the part that I was freaking out about was that you can see up in the upper right hand corner there I forget if that's the uh Chicklet or the bug, but it's one of those things it says nasa tv But you will notice it is not in the shape of meatball It is also not in the uh 80s fantastic nasa worm logo. It's just very it's probably helvetica honestly Just as nasa tv and I was like Wait, seriously, how old is this? Well, I mean they used helvetica on the space shuttle, so it makes sense. No, it it makes perfect sense I was just really confused. I'm like apparently I was not following any space things during this time period At some point, uh, we also get to see a little bit of their uh, mission control. I believe it is and uh I about died. There's the air starts So and there go the ground starts really is beautiful night. Yeah launches are gorgeous Yeah, I had a friend who was at this launch and he said that uh from the position He was watching it at it took it launched and it arched out and it headed towards mars in the sky So it was rather rather prophetic So with that there All right, I want to see mission control because you said that this is like it's so like 1950s 60s like Is everybody got pocket protectors Just about like you you know It's not the 50s because not every white dude who's in there old white dude, by the way, uh is not wearing a white Shirt button down shirt some of them are wearing a couple of colors, but I'm serious man. Like I looked at that. I was like I clearly have no concept of when this is at all You know this delta two was a three stage delta two So they had the uh, they had the solids and the first stage core and then the second stage with it and then a A solid third stage as well. So uh, so this was about a souped up as a delta two rocket gets Uh and yeah, you know chucking a payload to mars. So just another you know typical thursday Uh, I just got a uh a note in the host chat room. Uh that It's the provider that offered that uh, not the official font Gotcha There go you boosters Wait, so they had solids that lay on the ground and then solids that live in the air. Yes Crazy, right, huh? Does anyone else do that? I don't think so If I recall correctly, I don't think anybody else did that at that time I want to say but that was back. This was back in 2003. So Um And dada, correct me if i'm wrong uh with this version of the delta delta two almost a delta four heavy With this version of the delta two it had nine solids three start on the ground and then six start in the air If I remember correctly or is it six on the ground six in the air six start on the ground three start in the air This one used the gem 46 which is a 46 inch solid Spirit only had wasn't the heavy configuration. It only had 40 inch boosters All right. Well, there you go. Thank you dada. Also, you will notice like way back in the day Look at these cameras that are on the freaking vehicle Yeah, yeah, that's fair, right like Pretty much the whole way up. Yeah, like that's gorgeous. Yeah, it's 480p, but I mean it still looks great Whatever that looks great back in the day. That was the thing It's some on-screen graphics, so that'll be fine.  Yeah, I heard that's the right to this day Yeah, it's nice to see cameras that don't cut out. I'm getting another note in the host room. Uh, it's 480i Oh 480i, excuse me interlaced. Well, I'm just gonna say it's nice to see cameras during a launch that don't cut out It's nice to see about anything honestly Wow, no, there was static you can you can shush your mouth with that one. Shut down on stage one See static Not saying just saying.  Holy moly. What is this? What is happening right now? Wow, dude Santa Claus is running that stuff like I don't know what's happening anymore all the way from the north pole Dude In in july It was like they're flipping switches like don't even scream in there That's why it was like wait, when did this go? Quick, we need to switch these cables That's how it felt Throw the third switch Press the red button dude They don't know what out is they do it loopy dragon says, uh, that's lc or launch complex 17 block house Delta 2 was controlled from building just a few hundred feet from the pad Okay, so block house which typically means that they're uh concrete reinforced Sometimes underground a bunker basically. Yeah a bunker a bunker that can take the hit dude crazy though, right? I was looking at that like we need the code 13 34 dude You know Amazing absolutely amazing. That was a nice blast from the past there totally totally totally cool vintage It's vintage dated amazing amazing and I bet the block house still looks like that It's probably sealed because of asbestos To be fair so, uh, so switching gears a little bit ultimatouille. Yes, right so, uh, Right around uh new years, right? Miss lisa here did an awesome M. Well jared joined didn't like we had a lot of people. Athena was calling in I know somebody earlier was asking about Athena. She'll be back next week by the way Um, uh, did it really amazing like overnight sensation of the ultimatouille fly by This lovely snowman in the sky. Yeah, there you go. Look at that Wow, um, so here it is now jan 26 or 26 of jan. Yes 2019 as it's where Uh, and we're starting to get some stuff back, right? We're starting to get some pictures some data Some something but like only something Yeah, so the images in which I believe that's the one up there are getting pretty crispy And we're starting to discern some really interesting surface features Um, so that's what we started with and uh, it's a little bit reddish, you know and natural color Exactly by the way, absolutely. Yeah, so jared you want to explain perhaps where that reddish color is coming from or oxidation, right? So it's kind of oxidation. It's from what we from what we understand with these these kind-propelled objects Especially what we learned from Pluto and the fly by of Pluto, which New Horizons did You know three and a half years before this Is that if you expose certain ices to ultraviolet radiation, it'll redden them. Exactly. And that's basically what we're looking at So, uh, so yeah, uh, we don't we we don't know if it is tholens or not yet because they haven't released any data about the composition of So Guess upon I mean this is like this is similar to one of the reasons we call mars the red planet, right? Like it's the same No Iron oxide, which is like similar to rust. Uh, this is just this uh in dead lighting It's like a byproduct of the reaction of um What is it in the what is it that? On Pluto, it's methane reacting with the ultraviolet Light and then the particulates that kind of yeah, and then it rains out as like acetylene and ethane and other things like that down to the surface It's really weird how all this carbon and hydrogen just like snaps together and well, it's not weird. It's science And then it just rains down sometimes science is weird. Yeah, but but it's uh, it's bizarre because uh, You know, we don't we don't know what type of ices it's made out of yet. Um, if we look at Pluto You know Pluto had a lot of nitrogen ice methane ice Carbon monoxide ice carbon dioxide ice and water ice on its surface But this is significantly smaller than Pluto Exactly from basically tip to tip of the lobes there. It's about 34 kilometers in size. So not particularly big But uh, but large enough that it's gonna yield enough data that we should have a good understanding of it Okay, and we're getting some of that data back now or no. Yes Yeah, so right after the flyby there was a solar conjunction Which basically means that that it went on the other side of the sun and we couldn't talk to new horizons because there's this big ball of plasma In the way So uh, so we had to wait until it came out on the other side of the sun Uh, just a couple weeks ago, uh, and then start getting the data down So but it's taking a really long time. It takes a very long time. In fact, um much slower than the old internet connections and uh But uh similar to new horizons, you know once this data starts pouring in the revelations are probably going to be pretty exciting This is the furthest most distant object. We have flew past. Yes, and um What's going to be really interesting is kind of studying how bodies like this Basically exist out there in the far reaches of the solar system so far away from the sun's influence in terms of For instance, when you get a comet that ends up flying not flying but ends up coming along by the sun You get a lot of outgassing you get a lot of um ice is subliming and whatnot However, this is so far out that this is literally kind of like a snapshot of what the solar system might have been like In its earliest days of formation It's basically like a time capsule because it really hasn't changed since the beginning of the solar system because it's been preserved Basically cryogenically Yeah, and um, you know, uh with pluto you can't do that because pluto is not the right kind of object for us to understand The origin of the solar system with and same you know to kind of piggyback on the comments with the with with comets Um, so, um, you know, we've studied a lot of comets like viltu temple one heartly Uh braily landed on them to remove get a cemento like a whole bunch of comets Have been studied but the chemical interactions with the sun basically doesn't Completely ruin all of the things that have been there since the formation of the solar system But it changes them enough that we don't have a we can't like definitively say whether that was there or not We could say this is what happened in the evolutionary history of this comet in its nucleus here But but nothing like ultimatuli, which is what's called what's known as a classical cold kuiper belt object So what does that mean? That basically means that it orbits in the ecliptic of the solar system So there's a plane that most of the material of the solar system formed in in this disc of material And some of the some of the objects went out of that plane like pluto pluto is not a classical cold kuiper belt object Because it is it is tilted quite significantly compared to the ecliptic of the solar system and These classical cold kuiper belt objects are, you know, within the plane of the solar system And they've interacted with Neptune's gravity enough that they basically stay far enough away from the sun that they're never touched by by the solar winds Being the primary influence the ultraviolet radiation. Sure. Yeah, that's very clearly done some work on the surface there But that's that's not enough to ruin the preservation of the material that's there So yeah, so this is this is unbelievably exciting You know to really kind of get this snapshot of What the solar system was like in its infancy when it was that nebulous cloud before before everything formed fully and and You know with new horizons, they're hoping to find an even further out Kuiper belt object to try to study that as well And they're going to hopefully get that mission proposal in this summer And and as far as I understand Even though new horizons is is sending data in its downlinks When they have to take breaks because the deep space network, you can't hog the deep space network Exactly other missions want to talk and get their data down during these periods when they're not Downloading they're aiming their long Long-range imager. I think it's lore called lorry. They're aiming in the direction that they're flying to try to find objects So they're already working on trying to find something else to fly past even further out Well, they gotta I mean that thing is traveling so fast now. I'm read of uh What is it now? It's it's up to how many kilometers per second Uh, I think it's somewhere along the order order of 12 kilometers per second. I was gonna say things up to 12 It's cooking. It's not my notes. I can't tell you. Yeah, it's moving really quick. So fast enough that a dust grain would basically obliterate vaporize it Essentially, so yeah, and that's another thing that they're doing out there too They're it's not just the flyby of ultimatilli that they're working on They're also taking in like radiation data dust count data and other things like that in an area that that This level of resolution in these instruments has never been done before like sure the two voyagers Set data from this area But you know, that's 1970s technology. That's not early. It's not early 2000s technology like new horizons is so And you know, what was it lc-17? That was really really amazing awesome. Well, okay, so for those of you who may have forgotten We this is our space show, but we also have a science show today We do so which is really which is why we're wearing the science shirts So what we're gonna do now is i'm going to give a huge. Thank you to all of our supporters I'm gonna start off with our escape velocity citizens these people give us 10 dollars or more per episode And they help us do lots and lots and lots of things in fact There are more things coming at you and I will talk about that in the next slate Which is the orbital citizens these people have contained as five dollars or more per episode One of the wonderful things that you help us do is not just maintain Having this set and all of their very fast and apparently very stuttery internet this week But you also help us do things like well on the suborbital citizens as well Help us two two dollars and fifty cents or more per episode Obviously you all get your names in the show What you also help us do is have the space show as well as the science show And then have things like the new segment that is kind of busted out onto its own thing That lets us have our our own commentary show You use live streams exactly. Oh, yes use live streams Then there's also the ground support citizens that are a dollar or more per episode And I there literally is a note in here and says allow enough time for everyone to be able to find their names All of you people of course help this make help make this show happen We very much so could not be doing this without you. I'm very happy. It's this is out of my house I will say that much and have a very comfy chair to sit on so thank you for all of those things and really honestly Thank you for supporting us I know we've been doing a lot of changes lately and everyone's had a lot of opinions and we have read every Single one of them and we've tried to respond to them as best we can But we continue to like to know we continue to like to know your feedback There are also other ways you can help the show you can subscribe You can like hit the little bell on youtube. We have an entire community of community on community.tmro.tv Again lots of opinions over there and a lot of really interesting sometimes off-topic things. There's an entire thread about coffee. Yeah I still don't know why but that's cool. There's an entire thread about Like homemade projects you've done. Yes, so like me and dada have said like yeah, we built rockets before take a look You know, right and people have like shown off their art that they've made With that and people are shown off the 3d printing stuff that they've done You know, it's just really cool that we have this community of people that's like not only just really engaged But incredibly creative and like willing to throw that out there to kind of show off to everybody, you know Absolutely, that's really really cool. So like I said, we read every single comment. Please continue to leave them We want to be able to respond and you know and really chat with you that this is your show We are just here to enter You literally voted for a story that we talked about today, so I mean what we're going to continue to do So the new segment will be coming up a little bit later or this coming week I suppose today is Saturday And then and then whichever one that you want us to talk more on or you want to hear our opinions on Please vote for that one and then it will go into the next show But right now we're going to close out do a little bit of an after dark and then see you guys up in science Bye


price. Let's say we sell them for like $50 and it's going to increase the sales account when we do that. That's what we're doing right here. We're selling them. The sales tax is being generated so it's going to be calculating the sales tax. So we'll allow that to add a little complexity and let's say that we purchase them for $35. Let's say $40. We purchase them for $40. So we buy them for $40. We sell them for $50. All right. Save it and close it. And let's say we're going to have, let's say just one, we'll just sell one of these. So there's our thing that we're selling. And so then this is going to be a little bit more complex of a transaction similar to the invoice when we sold inventory because now we're tracking the inventory and we have the sales tax. So what's this going to do? It's going to be an increase not to accounts receivable like the invoice but rather to some kind of cash account. This time, undeposited funds because it's not going directly into the checking account because we have a cash payment. So we want to take it in and out of the clearing account. That's going to be for the 54. The other side then is going to be going to the income account but only for the $50. The amount that we charge, the difference $4. The tax is going to be going to a liability account. And then we're going to also have a decrease to the inventory of I think $40 which isn't on the sales receipt but it's known because the item is telling the system that and cost of goods sold is going to be going up by $40. The net impact on net income being the $50 minus the $40 or $10. And you can have the inventory tracking for the item that has been set up on a sub ledger tracking by item. So it can actually be a fairly complex transaction. Now, you might also ask why don't I record the revenue at $54 instead of a liability of the sales tax. And then when I pay the sales tax, it would be an expense of doing business. That would kind of make sense. The idea is that the tax is imposed on the customer, not on you, the business, even though they're just making you the tax collector. So it's not income to you. The idea is it's going to be off the income statement on the balance sheet increase in the liability and then you decrease the liability again.  I pay a lot for sales taxes. I should have an expense for it. And the reason is it because if you do it this way, the income of the sales tax also didn't go on the income statement. Both of them are on the balance sheet. Okay, let's let let's record it over here just to check it out this way. If I did, if I did it this way, let's just modify this one. I'm going to say, okay, so now we had what's going to happen here. Well, cash is going. Now it's not cash, but I'll put into cash. It's really going into undeposited funds. But cash. And then we have the sales. And then it was for $50 and then sales tax, sales tax payable is going to be equal to the 50 times .08. I think it was 8% and negative sum of that. So that means we're getting $54 and then the inventory is going down and cost of goods sold is going up for $40. And so cash is going to be going up, although it's going to go into undeposited funds in our practice problem. I'll just, you know, we'll have a different step, but then we're going to say then the income down here is going to go into income and sales tax payables up here on the balance sheet, sales tax payable. And then we're going to have the cost of goods sold is going to go up and inventory is going to go down. Nothing's currently in inventory.  And then we owe the sales tax in the future. All right. So let's check it out. Save it and close it and check that one out. So I'm going to go to the balance sheet and run it to refresh it. And we'll say that this time we put it into undeposited funds. Undeposited funds goes up by the full amount $54 scrolling down. There's the $54 movie B to the NBN closing this out back, going to the income statement, running it to refresh in it. And we can see there's the $50 in the sales, not including the not including the sales tax. And then let's go back on over find the sales tax. Where did that go? Went into the liability on over here to the board of equalization because that's who we owe the sales tax to. There's the $4 on that one. Let's go back. And then we know that the inventory is going down. Let's go into the inventory. We have a decrease of the $40 that $40 is not on the actual sales receipt, but is known by the item because the item set up we said it was $40 for the cost. Closing that back out back to the balance sheet. The other sides on the income statement cost a good sold $40 net impact on the income statement $50 minus $40, $10. Let's go back to the balance sheet and look at that inventory which now would need to be tracked on a perpetual inventory method. If that's what we're using remembering every time you deal with inventory you have to ask how you don't have to do it this way a perpetual inventory method. You might be tracking it outside of QuickBooks using a periodic inventory system within QuickBooks possibly tracking it on your Shopify store or Amazon if you're doing that kind of thing or in a spreadsheet. But we're doing the full service perpetual system here. Therefore we have a sub ledger. Let's right-click on the tab to the right. Duplicate it so that we can look at our sub ledger. Let's go to the reports down below and type in inventory valuation summary. Closing up the hand buggy. Changing the range up top from 0.1 let's let's go to 12, 31, 2, 4. Run it to refresh it. Now when we put the item on the books we said there were 10 of them so that means QuickBooks did a journal entry to record 10 items at the date we said we we purchased them or put them on the books and then we sold one of them resulting in nine remaining so this is the inventory items. There's the 956.25 of all the inventory


When the narcissist tries to stamp you out When they try to put out your light When they try to extinguish and destroy you There are many different ways that a narcissist might take to stamp you out They may try to hurt your family or friends They may try to damage your property your car your computer or your phone It depends on how extreme they are But when they do this You need to ensure that you are documenting everything or if you can get them on camera That would be even more effective If you can catch them when they're verbally assaulting you or making threats That will help to support your case But don't reveal anything to the narcissist Don't tell them what you know about them because as long as you withhold that information from the narcissist It gives you the advantage So don't let them know that you know keep that information to yourself Because you're not going to achieve anything by confronting them They achieve their aims by interact and deceitful methods They're very deceptive They act secretly and dishonestly to achieve an unfair advantage They are so devious and dishonest That you may never see it coming You may never expect it to happen Which is why there's no point arguing with them. You can't just play around with them You have to take them down before they get to you So that it shows them that you're not going to be playing games with them You're not going to be an easy target Many people choose to stay involved with the narcissist And they act in a cautious and non-committal way They avoid making a decision or expressing an opinion Because they are uncertain or frightened about doing so But doing that doesn't solve anything It just makes them even more mad You're just putting yourself in danger Because then they're going to feel even more motivated to take you down When you go back and forth with them You're just giving away your power Which is why you can't play around with them You can't save them You can't try to help them You need to take away your hope that they're going to change You cannot hold back when you were dinner with a narcissist Your only option is to go all out to defeat them If you have a chance to get rid of them You cannot show them any mercy You cannot show them any forgiveness or compassion Because they're just going to see that as a weakness They're going to see it as something to exploit And then they're going to go all out to stamp you out But sadly, this is what a lot of victims do They give the narcissist another chance They show them forgiveness and compassion They let them back into their lives But when they do that, the narcissist just takes that as an opportunity to continue where they left off They study everything you're doing Even though they're not really serious about being with you They just study all of your faults and weaknesses They pick everything apart and then they plan their attack against you Which is why you should never let a narcissist back into your life You should never let them have any personal information about you Once you know what you're dinner with You shouldn't be telling them what you're doing You have to misdirect them You have to mislead them just like they misled you When you're open and honest with a narcissist You're just giving them ammunition Which they will then use to destroy you Because you're giving them the ability to dissect what you're doing You're giving them the ability to analyze and examine certain information And then they can interject and intervene To try to sabotage whatever it is you're trying to accomplish Which is why there's no reason for you to be honest with a narcissist They're not deserving of your honesty Because they do not respect it They use it to their advantage You cannot be warm and friendly to a narcissist It will only make them even more mad It will only cause them to attack you even more We live in a world where there are not reasonable consequences For a lot of their consciously wrongful actions that people are committing They're not being punished consequently And without enforcement of the law or any appropriate consequences There will be more of the same type of behavior There will be more shocking and extreme behavior Once you cross the narcissist You need to accept that things will never go back to how they used to be With normal people things can be forgiven You can move on and do better But with a narcissist nothing will ever change Once you cross them That's it for life They will always hate you They will always be your adversary They will always be in competition with you You will always be on guard You will always feel like you have to defend or protect yourself You will never be able to relax or trust them Because if you did that It would be a foolish and ignorant decision to make They would only take advantage of that If you let your guard down They will attack you And you will never see it coming You will never expect it Because even after everything they've done to you You still don't want to believe that it's who they are You want to believe that there must be some misunderstanding There must be a reason why they did that There must be something you don't know Because you don't want to believe it You don't want to accept the truth Because they're pathological liars They're very deceptive and misleading And if you refuse to see them as they actually are They will attack you They will take that opportunity to put you out If you look back at a lot of the things they've done to you already You never thought they would do that You never thought that they would pull you apart But there's always that situation people experience with a narcissist When they change suddenly It's like out of nowhere They're seeking vengeance They're very angry And wanted to cause you pain and discomfort They say and do things without any conscious of guard for you Through their actions They are indirectly telling you that they don't like you They're indirectly telling you that they can't stand you Because everything they do is designed to hurt you They will play the role as long as you're willing to believe in it But behind the scenes they're laughing at you Whatever they think you think they are They will play along with it But really they have no part in it They have no interest in being with you And when the time comes they will reveal that to you In their minds they let you get away with a lot of things in the beginning They perceive minor issues as being a big deal They turn molehills into mountains Things that happened in the beginning That's what they think about when they try to stamp you out Because now they're trying to make you pay for things that you didn't even know upset them They acted like everything was okay But beneath the surface their blood was boiling They were very angry But they were intending to get revenge on you For something they perceived as a fault that you weren't even aware of You didn't even know So you didn't even have the opportunity to make it right But that's the way they wanted it to be Because it fuels their anger It gives them the opportunity to go after you Without having to think or worry about any pain that they may cause to you They can be more ruthless with you If they don't give you the chance to make it right Which is why they have to make it so that you don't know what you've done wrong So that they can play it in their minds About everything they think you've done to them And how it made them feel And then they can get you for it They bring up things from the past that are of little importance Things that have nothing to do with you They will bring up things that happened months ago Things that are completely irrelevant Which should give you an indication into their mind and how they are thinking It should let you know that you are dealing with someone who is mad and crazy It should let you know that you need to be careful of them You could be in a dangerous situation Because they're holding all of this anger for you And you don't even know it Which could put you in a lot of trouble if you're dealing with someone like that Because at some point they're just going to get revenge on you They hold on to things for a long time And then when they come to you It makes you so confused Which only irritates them even more Because they expect you to react to it like it just happened yesterday If you don't react the way they expect you to react To some BS that happened several months ago Then you will really make them angry and annoyed It will just make them want to destroy you But sometimes they will act like they're mad about something When really they're not even concerned about it They can dial up the emotions of anger and hostility To create a conflict As though they're bothered about something They're very sick people They will act as though something is affecting them When really it's not They just want conflict They want to create an argument out of nothing To pull you into the objective that they have for you There are certain classes of people People who lack integrity People who lack honesty and strong moral principles These types of people Will be prone to exploit you They will make full use of and derive benefit from you Because they don't have anything of value of their own Because they see an opportunity to use you for their own personal gain

Ssss... That's drunk. Once again, it's time for another episode of Wait, This Existed? This was a thing? Yes, that's right. Sonic had an arcade game, and not just this one either. This was the first of 3 Sonic arcade games that were never officially released in North America. They either stayed in Japan or went to European countries like Spain. But I wanted to highlight this particular Sonic arcade game because... Well, it's kinda weird. First of all, you can see the oddball isometric viewpoint, And this was actually the first Sonic game to have this kind of presentation, and in addition to that, this game uses a trackball? Huh. Yeah, there's only one button, and it's to jump, and everything else is just Sonic running via the trackball. Well, Sonic and his two friends that were first introduced to the Sonic universe in this game. Ray the Flying Squirrel and Mighty the Armadillo. I'm sorry, but geez Louise, those names seriously sound like they were made up in like three seconds. Alright, let's roll with Rayman to the turquoise termite, and Larry the Christmas hyena, and have him team up with Manic Mailman. Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is that this game is up to three player compatible, and the story here, flimsy as it is, has the three characters trying to escape Eggman Island. Some of you may be familiar with Mighty, since he was in Knuckles' Chaotix for 32X, and Ray recently showed up after a long vacation in 2018's Sonic Heroes Plus. The way this game is structured is to have Sonic or his two friends navigate all sorts of traps, obstacles, and pitfalls through each of the seven levels, and what's weird here is there really aren't that many enemies at all. There's like one boss fight, and even the final boss is just you escaping Eggman's tower with the time limit. Rather than having regular old enemies you have to defeat, instead your main enemy is Sonic or Ray or Mighty themselves, since they cannot help but to run off every ledge they can find, like a drunk hamster trying to walk down the stairs. Get used to that sound if you play this one, because that will be all you hear. And yeah, this is the first Sonic game where the characters actually have voices, so if you're into Sonic history or whatever, that's here too.  And that leads me to each character's strengths and weaknesses. Ray has a little more health, Mighty has more speed, and Sonic is the balanced character, and yeah, you actually get a health meter in a Sonic game. Rings do count toward replenishing health to a certain extent, but they're mostly for high score and all that sort of stuff. As you can see, I totally suck, and that's playing as Ray, the most forgiving character. Do not ever pick Mighty. He is way too fast for his own good and takes off at 999 miles an hour, at even the slightest press of the joystick. And yeah, I should mention that you can play this game, no problem on Mame or FB Alpha or whatever. And I used an Xbox 360 controller and configured the Y and X access on the trackball settings, and it worked pretty well. Although it did take some getting used to.  Yeah, I'm sure it plays better with the trackball, but, uh, I'm not gonna be buying an arcade cab then anytime soon. So, what's with the name of this game? Why is it Sega Sonic the Hedgehog? What a goofy title. Well, Taito of all people sued Sega for the use of the Sonic name since they already trademarked Sonic Blastman, which hit arcades in 1990, and when eventually the dust settled, Sega could not use the word Sonic in arcades. That's why we also have Sega Sonic Cosmo Fighter Galaxy Patrol and Sega Sonic Popcorn Shop, and there was gonna be a fourth game, Sega Sonic Bros., but it was canceled. I should also mention that there was a 32s export of the game planned, but eventually it was scrapped simply because they had a hard time replicating the trackball controls on a D-pad, and I can kinda see their point, because the controls here are, like I said, insanely sensitive. And it's not only with how the characters move, you can't change directions in mid-air, you can't jump while you're teetering on an edge, it's pretty tough. One token gives you one life, after that, good frickin' luck. So yeah, I just thought Sega Sonic the Hedgehog was just kind of an interesting relic. I had no idea this one existed until recently, and it's never been re-released on any compilation or anything. While it's not the greatest game, it's certainly odd. It's almost like a parallel universe Sonic game with goofy new characters nobody's heard of and everything. What's funny is that way back in the day, Electronic Gaming Monthly gave this game a 10 out of 10, saying it shatters your perception of what a good game should be, and to me that's absurd, not only because of the controls, but because of how incredibly short this game is, each level is barely two minutes long, and there's only seven of them, get outta here with that. You know, a lot of people have asked me over the years, what are the best games to play drunk? Well, the answer to that is always gonna be your own personal preference, but I can say that Sega Sonic the Hedgehog is probably the absolute worst game to play drunk. It's an interesting game for what it is, but be prepared for a heck of a lot of frustration. Alright, I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!


From Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny dollar Yes, Mrs. Henderson, I'm with Paramount insurance adjusters. Oh, yes, you probably know we asked for the inquest into your husband's death We're trying to clear up the entire matter as quickly as we can Mrs. Henderson. I'd like to talk to you Hate to trouble you at a time like this May I come out to the house this afternoon Good I'll be there Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with a action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator is truly Johnny dollar Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to Paramount insurance adjusters Hartford, Connecticut The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Henderson matter Expense account continued item seven five bucks one pair of galoshes believe it or not It snowed in cover Montana during the night all night by morning 14 inches of fine new snow covered everything in sight After my phone called a mrs. Henderson. I spent the morning trying to rent an automobile There was none to be had so that afternoon I dropped over to see if holding my sheriff friend Son you're gonna catch your death unless you start wearing this car. Yeah, I'll remember that if but maybe I won't need one Oh, yeah, I think I'll be leaving culvert pretty soon. I hope you don't mean that son I'm afraid I do I'll have to tie this case up one way or another pretty quick. Why my company wants me to get back home I got a letter this morning. Oh, well, how can I help you? Well for one thing you can lend me your car again I uh, I have a date with a lady out at the Big Hor Lodge Pretty fancy you can have the old thing any time you wanted you know that son Who's the lady George Henderson's widow? Yeah, oh No, I know what you're gonna say why go after her why bother her until I have something to go on Well, I got to do something if I'm no nearer now to knowing whether Henderson was pushed out that hotel window fell or jumped I Think I have enough of an idea of Henderson and his wife to pick up some valuable information from her any objections. Nope Johnny a couple of days ago you asked me to look up people who might have been a spatially friendly to mrs. Henderson you still want to know about them. Yeah, sure. Well, I'm working on it anyone so far nobody I'd put in that category What time you have to be at the big horn for I don't take you a while wouldn't hurt to start right now He's uh, she parked out back. Okay. Thanks, Eve. Good luck and don't let her rang dangle you son She could do it if she wanted to goodbye Ten minutes later. I was on the road to Big Horn Lodge Which also happened to be the same road I traveled two days before to attend George Henderson's funeral As I drove past the graveyard white and stark against the blue winter sky I noticed a car parked along the side of the road a little Chevy coupe about 1952 There was the figure of a woman all alone standing by George Henderson's fresh grave. Her head was bowed She didn't notice me as I walked up a gray haired woman about 45 slight delicate gentle Oh, I'm I'm sorry. I I didn't mean to start. Oh, that's all right Must be getting late dear it is Do I know you why I don't know I'm Maddie Nickerbocker The name it startled me the day before an insurance broker in Great Falls had mentioned her Told me that George Henderson had named her his beneficiary then changed his mind a few minutes before he died Your name's not Campbell. Is it no Johnny dollar Johnny dollar You remind me of a boy. I had in one of my classes once Tori Campbell. Oh, you're a teacher miss Nickerbocker Everybody knows me I think or at least I flatter myself that way Well, I should be going I I knew mr. Henderson too. Oh Oh He was a wonderful man George He was very dear to me I'll find it difficult getting used to the fact that he'll never be around any more George had a wonderful laugh, didn't he? Yes Yes, he did mrs. Nickerbocker. I never really thought that he ever grew up Of course, you knew him in a business way, and I'm sure he was very very grown up in business But it doesn't hurt to think of him this way now does it I don't think so miss Nickerbocker. I Didn't come to his funeral. I Didn't think I could bear it. I Thought I'd just drive out this afternoon and say goodbye by myself Well, I apologize for interrupting you not at all, please Funny little things the birds in the snow Such tiny wonderful little things a Little bit of God in each of them mr. Dollar, wouldn't you say? Yes, ma'am. I don't know why I think George would like to know they're here near him Miss Nickerbocker I Have to tell you know you don't mr. Dollar. I Know who you really are Everyone in town knows You seem like a nice young man Was it curiosity that made you stop your car? Yeah, I suppose so I apologize I'm just an old friend of George's saying goodbye to him. Good afternoon, mr. Dollar Goodbye Talking to Maddie Nickerbocker. I felt that for the first time somebody namely Maddie Had talked frankly and truthfully about George Henderson.  Dollar. Oh just some doubts in my mind about your husband's death What are you doing? I learned to like it in France One per no bourbon little water on the side. Yes, sir You sound like George when you order. Hey, I like your big horn Lodge and I have to say when it's elegant in the West It's elegant. I'd like a light, please Thank you, mr. Sanderson You mind if I don't stall any longer with the drinks the smokes and the compliments. I'm surprised you've told this long I've heard you're a very blunt and impulsive man I spoke to an insurance agent named Thurber yesterday in Great Falls your husband's agent Mr. Thurber told me that your husband wanted to name a new beneficiary last week. Yeah, he named Matilda Nickerbocker Matty Nickerbocker I'm not surprised. I suppose Matty's a lovely woman. I know George was very fond of Mr. Thurber also told me that mr. Henderson changed his mind about that the day he died In fact, he phoned mr. Thurber in Great Falls and told him to leave the policy as it was He did that a few minutes after you left his hotel room a few minutes before he died Can you explain any of that mrs. Henderson? Why don't you ask Matty Nickerbocker because I don't think she'd know I ran into her this afternoon And I talked to her or not about this just about other things I'll look her up again if I have to But it's you I want information from now then why don't you ask what you mean mr. Dollar? All right? Did something happen in that hotel room that made him change his mind about you? That's better I do wish that ridiculous little man would bring our drinks. He won't Don't misunderstand what happened in the hotel room George and I were going to be divorced He moved out of the house a month ago We went to his attorneys and drew a pretendative property settlement you mean lap Eder Reardon and Blake Great Falls They have a copy of that settlement George was quite generous to me So I didn't kill him for his money if that's what you're thinking here. We are sure No bourbon. Thank you. I Didn't see George for Three weeks or so after we made the settlement and we happened to meet one day in Culver and Well, we had Rather bitter argument was one of those ridiculous things we quarreled and parted very angrily the whole thing was childish My first impulse was to go right back to the lawyers and demand every unreasonable thing. I could on the divorce settlement I guess George's first impulse was to cancel me out as his beneficiary. Did you go to a lawyer mrs. Anderson? No No, I cooled off. I cooled off considerably mr. Dollar After all George had been everything to me most of my life I was truly sorry. We never got along as man and wife I'm glad that we made it up before he died that morning He apologized when I came by the hotel. I apologized after I left He fell out the window Then I can assume that this business with the policies had to do with the argument assume what you like mr. Dollar I can understand why you're annoyed by me and my questions It's just that it's kind of hard for us to believe that a man involved in divorcing his wife would still name her as his beneficiary I say that because of past experience. Oh, it's happened, but as usual. I Could have told you that we were reconciled that day in the hotel that we were going to drop the whole divorce matter that George was Coming back to the house to live. Yes, you could have told me that mrs. Anderson Mr. Connors in our home office in Hartford called you a few days ago. You hung up on him. Why? Well, I was very upset I've never been a widow before I believe you mrs.  I prefer to talk to you here? That's what I thought I saved all the did your husband have any enemies and did he seem depressed questions for another time? But before I went to bed that night I read and reread mrs. Henderson's testimony given at the coroner's inquest The next morning I interviewed all of the people at the Butte Hotel who'd been on duty the day Henderson fell out the window After that I dropped in to see Eve Holton Here it is Johnny right here Personal effects of the deceased included four suits of man's clothing 14 shirts five pairs of holder was there a bottle in that room sheriff Laker yeah, no no bottle nothing like it son. All right He didn't call down and have a bell boy bring him a bottle or send him any drinks The chambermaid swears there was no liquor in his room all the time. He lived at the hotel. You say he was a light drinker Now what light drinker takes a nip before he has his breakfast who said he had a drink that morning mrs. Henderson What on the witness stand under oath at the inquest? She testified that her husband had a drink before she came up to the room and while she was there now mind you She didn't say he was drunk, but she did say he had been drinking You read over that transcript So so I think she threw that in made sure it got in because it's sometimes hard to believe that a cold sober man Will walk out of a hotel window and kill himself accidentally a drunk or a drinker might do it You and I and everybody at that inquest somehow got the impression that Henderson was slightly tipsy that morning and mrs. Henderson saw it of that now then If Henderson had a drink I want to know where he got it Tell me if no bottle in the room. No bottle brought up to the room Where did he get that drink?
