Look, I thought, it's 29 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 3: really an interesting story because they're going to obviously do 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: this catapult what do you call it, this like somersault 31 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: thing around the moon, But. 32 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 4: There are going to this a very different mission. 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 3: I mean, as you know, so they're not going to 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: just do a sort of plant your flag type of 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: thing when they do eventually go back and land in 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven or thereabouts. It's about making a sustainable 37 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: place to actually stay for a longer period of time. 38 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: Did you say back again?

But you look at the computers now and 44 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: the process is on the controllers for this, and it's 45 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: like what it's like twenty thousand times faster and possesses 46 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty eight times times well maybe thousand 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 3: times more memory, And you. 48 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 4: Go, did they just And I said to you know, 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 4: maybe it's that thing. 50 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: Of when you don't know what you don't know, you 51 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: sort of brave and you go ahead with it, and 52 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: then later you go. 53 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 4: How did we do that? 54 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: Or did we did we do that? I mean, it's 55 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: the season. 56 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: I know, there's a lot of craziness right now, there is, 57 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: and it's a season. 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: There is, and it just feels almost like an I know, 59 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: please don't come at me, talk listeners, we'll do it. 60 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 4: Just feels like, I know, we all. 61 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 3: Joke about the fake stage set, but when you look 62 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 3: back at those pictures, it really does look like that 63 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: just was not authentic. But anyway, I do think this 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: time they are going to do a proper fly around. 65 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: I think we're going to see all sides of the 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 3: moon sure, and then they are going to obviously the 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: plan is for Artemis three to put the first woman 68 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 3: and next man on the lunar surfaces twenty twenty seven 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,279 Speaker 3: or further. 70 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 4: Ahead than that, depending and I know the. 71 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: Rise of commercial space, the space industry has helped fuel 72 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: this whole thing. The amount of money involved in space 73 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: exploration is so massive that for years presidents in America 74 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: were like, no, we're focusing on other areas. 75 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Donald Trump's DNA is on itemssages. 76 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 3: I'm sure it probably is, just in case he gets 77 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: I thought another in Yeah, I thought another interesting line 78 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: from some of the articles I was reading, was long 79 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: gone of the supply chains and skilled machinists that built 80 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: the hardware for those mid twentieth century moon missions. 81 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 4: So I thought, even. 82 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: Though, yes, we are so far ahead in technology, if 83 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: you think about it, you always want to build on 84 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: what came before you, and they've got plans. But if 85 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: you think about it, those guys are dead. And it 86 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 3: was obviously a big reset to have to start almost 87 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: from scratch and kind of come up with a. 88 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: New news maybe ten years old. 89 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: But the computing power of the machine that went to 90 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: the Moon and drive Neil Armstrong there was the equivalent 91 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: of a computer power of a washing machine about ten 92 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: years ago. And you know that crazy we've exponentially kind 93 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: of grown. 94 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 4: It's crazy. 95 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: But anyway, look, I mean, I'm you know, I know, 96 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: back in the in that time in the fifties, you 97 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: know the space race. You know, it was the whole 98 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: Russia versus America, you know, ego whatever, pergo sticks into 99 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: the sky kind of thing, and then that died down. 100 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 3: But anyway, Trump pluck has kind of reclaimed that space, 101 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: of course, and let's see what happens. 102 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,559 Speaker 2: Do you really think we went to the moon? 103 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: It's like, whatsap, We're changing the channel. 104 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: Seven. 105 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: Moving on to some space related but definitely fantasy and 106 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: not reality. 107 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: Or actually that was maybe also. 108 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: Fantasy was the Star Wars era, which I mean, it's 109 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: hilarious because that's also the Star Wars era. This is 110 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: the Star Wars franchise, and it's one of the props 111 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 3: from the set of Star Wars, one of the original films. 112 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: It's C three Po's head that's sold. 113 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: On auction for a grand one million dollars what's that? 114 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 4: Seventeen million rons? 115 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 3: And I saw the pictures of it and it's a 116 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: bit worn, it's a bit battered, and yeah, you look 117 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: at it.

This is a funny little mask, 122 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 3: you know. I know it was an actor wearing it, 123 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: but it really isn't. It's just that little headgear. But 124 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 3: that's sold for a million dollars on auction now, so 125 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: that's an investment that somebody made. That's definitely paying back 126 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: for a slightly dented droid head. 127 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: But I loved CP three oh and R two D two. 128 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I was, you know, at high school when 129 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 3: those movies first came out, and we loved them. I'm 130 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: sure if I went to watch the original and what 131 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 3: do you call it when they make it all look 132 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 3: very new and re re, I'm kind of get the 133 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 3: words wrong. They redo the whole thing. It was an 134 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 3: amazing movie, I'm sure, very out of date now. And 135 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: then I thought I would find the end. 136 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 4: With April's full April Fools. 137 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if you got to the end of 138 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 3: yesterday and remembered very late that it was, although it's 139 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 3: your birthday, so you probably always remember it's April fools 140 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: their hay Clarence. 141 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 4: And I just thought it was so like, it's so 142 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 4: become not a thing. 143 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: There was a time in the world when print newspapers 144 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: used to have like a really iconic April Fools news 145 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 3: piece that used to fool a lot of people. Obviously, 146 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 3: you'd only allowed to do it until twelve noon, although 147 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 3: we're now global, so twelve noon is different all over 148 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: the globe. And I thought it really didn't make a 149 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: mark on me. But I thought two of them caught 150 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 3: my eye, so I thought i'd mentioned them. One was 151 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: SA Rugby Magazine publishing Rassie quits the box, and. 152 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 4: It just took a moment. 153 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: It took a moment, and then he quickly went on 154 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: too X and other platforms and said absolutely not because. 155 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 4: It was causing complete panic. 156 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: The second line of the article made you realize it 157 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: was April Folds because it said he was going to 158 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 3: become the England coach, so we knew that wasn't true, 159 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: but I. 160 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 4: Can imagine England needs it. 161 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: But anyway, Anglo. 162 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 163 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: But the favorite one, the one that actually almost did 164 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: fool me, came up on my Instagram feed. It was 165 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 3: Lego South Africa, the real Lego. I didn't realize Lego 166 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: SA had its own Instagram feed and it was a 167 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: poster poster a picture of a Lego built alarm clock 168 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: in the shape of a Hardy doar and it was 169 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: so cool, I mean, pretty ugly looking piece of Lego 170 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: and it's standing on a little stand that's an alarm clock. 171 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: And obviously the idea is that it would introduce this 172 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: Lego Hardy do alarm clock. You can build your Lego 173 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: and then you can get the authentic Hardy do ibis 174 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: call alarm sound only one volume setting loud, no snooze 175 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: setting goes off even when you didn't set it cannot 176 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: be turned off.
