1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Stateside, Richard il A, very good morning to you. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 2: What do you, Mike? 3 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Very pretty pictures, were they? Yeah? 4 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 2: But before that, sixty seven million debate watches in this country, 5 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: So that's approaching Seinfeld finale numbers back in the day. 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 2: Because we don't know who were in that number of 7 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: how many cats and dogs were watching. 8 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: That is true. 9 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: However, Yes, space history made today with the first all 10 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 2: civilian spacewalk. This was funded by a tech billionaire, Jared Isaacman, 11 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: who has declined to say but this space tourism cost, 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: but the mission on an Elon Musk SpaceX capsule is 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 2: likely to have talied into the hundreds of millions of dollars. 14 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 2: Isaacman went up as part of a four person Polaris mission. 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: The other three on board were a retired Air Force 16 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: colonel and two women, including a SpaceX engineer, Sarah Gillis, 17 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: who also went out on the spacewalk. She left the 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: spacecraft for about seven minutes. Isaacman was out there for ten. 19 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: The space pod does not have a pressurized airlocks, so 20 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: all four had to wear their trimm down new spacesuits 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: and all were exposed to vacuum conditions and the hatch 22 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: is open. Before he left, Isaacman, who went into space 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: once before, said of his latest space jort, and we're 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 2: doing things that haven't been done in you know, half 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: a century, and the idea hopefully as we learn a 26 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: lot from it. Well, it has been a while since 27 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: the last man flight to this orbital altitude that was 28 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 2: fourteen hundred kilometers up from the Earth. Last time humans 29 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,639 Speaker 2: were up this high was the last Apollo mission mission 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy two. We're talking three times higher than 31 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: the International Space Station. The Dragon capsule now has been repressurized, 32 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: leaked tests have been done before they resumed normal operations. 33 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: But when they went back into the capsule, the returning 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis said she could see bulges on 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: the hat seals. Wouldn't worry about that, said her colleagues 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: on the ground, Just you know, push them back in there. Meantime, 37 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: if others out there have several hundred million dollars for 38 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: a seven minute spacewalk, just messages you know at elon. 39 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: Musk exactly, so kel how about a the fires. 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, the mountain areas around Los Angeles are being 41 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: hit by the worst bushfires we've had in years and years. 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, including a 43 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: number of my friends. The first fire that erupted is 44 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: only eighteen percent contained at the minute. They have thirty 45 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: one hundred firefighters attacking on that line, twenty one helicopters 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: dropping water and fire retardant on the flames there. So far, 47 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: it is proving extremely difficult to make much progress because 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: the weather has been very, very hot and windy. Dozens 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: of homes have been lost, thirteen people injured, says one evacuee. 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 2: Of the circumstances there. 51 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: We packed up the kids that got out of there. 52 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: Not a couple hours later we heard our house. It's 53 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: just leveled. Horrible. 54 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: These are areas where I go hiking as well. It 55 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: is just so distressing. The groundcover because can grow back 56 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: in maybe two or three years, the trees maybe twenty years, 57 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: maybe never for some species, says one man. I'm angry, 58 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: I'm set, yeah, be too, really distraught over this. The 59 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: biggest fire was Arson. It was begun they say by 60 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: a thirty four year old man, justin Holstenberg. We don't 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: know yet how they track down this suspect. The man 62 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: is being held on eighty thousand dollars bail. To my mind, 63 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 2: that is simply not enough. 64 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: You have a good week, Hey, Mike. Richard Arnold's sight Side. 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: news talks it'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 67 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
