1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Teams podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,453
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

3
00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:14,293
Speaker 2: That'd be it's Kevin Milner's with us this morning. You

4
00:00:14,453 --> 00:00:16,013
Speaker 2: to Kevin, you a Jack.

5
00:00:16,053 --> 00:00:18,733
Speaker 3: It's a plenty old thing. Actually, my daughter spent last

6
00:00:18,813 --> 00:00:21,293
Speaker 3: night and I presume she's not far from it now

7
00:00:21,453 --> 00:00:23,453
Speaker 3: the dockhart on mound over.

8
00:00:24,133 --> 00:00:24,853
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

9
00:00:25,573 --> 00:00:30,973
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, no, for each other. Yeah, yeah, we should

10
00:00:30,973 --> 00:00:33,213
Speaker 3: have actually just cut through to her. You're going to

11
00:00:33,293 --> 00:00:34,453
Speaker 3: talk to her from up there?

12
00:00:34,933 --> 00:00:38,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh how good. No, we we pushed a little

13
00:00:38,493 --> 00:00:42,573
Speaker 2: bit higher than the dock hut just for you know,

14
00:00:42,613 --> 00:00:44,853
Speaker 2: because we had it still had legs. And actually it's

15
00:00:44,893 --> 00:00:47,973
Speaker 2: amazing to me. You know, you think, oh, well, it's

16
00:00:47,973 --> 00:00:51,733
Speaker 2: not an off Broadway tramp by any stretch of the imagination.

17
00:00:51,853 --> 00:00:53,693
Speaker 2: But it's probably not. It's not the heavy, it's not

18
00:00:53,733 --> 00:00:56,773
Speaker 2: a great walk. And yet you know, on a Wednesday,

19
00:00:57,613 --> 00:01:00,293
Speaker 2: you get there and the hots ebbsltly pumping, and there

20
00:01:00,293 --> 00:01:03,373
Speaker 2: are kiwi's, there are people who are traveling from overseas.

21
00:01:03,373 --> 00:01:05,893
Speaker 2: It's great to see. I always am always delighted to

22
00:01:05,893 --> 00:01:08,173
Speaker 2: see him. People enjoy, you know, getting out there and

23
00:01:09,133 --> 00:01:11,573
Speaker 2: you know, savoring. So hopefully Tommy's had some good weather

24
00:01:11,653 --> 00:01:14,253
Speaker 2: like we did, Kevin. But you were captivated by another

25
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:17,653
Speaker 2: excursion another this week, and it's fear to say it

26
00:01:17,693 --> 00:01:19,493
Speaker 2: is probably slightly more adventurous than mine.

27
00:01:20,653 --> 00:01:22,813
Speaker 3: Well, what a thrill it was on Thursday to watch

28
00:01:22,893 --> 00:01:26,773
Speaker 3: the launch of Artemis two, the US rocket taking four

29
00:01:26,853 --> 00:01:30,733
Speaker 3: astronauts on a journey around them around the Moon. There's

30
00:01:30,773 --> 00:01:33,293
Speaker 3: no other site like a launch. Really.

31
00:01:33,373 --> 00:01:39,693
Speaker 4: The sheer power nearly four million kilograms of thrust, seventeen

32
00:01:39,813 --> 00:01:43,733
Speaker 4: percent more than the rockets that were on Apollo, what,

33
00:01:43,813 --> 00:01:46,373
Speaker 4: of course, provides the drama to the launch.

34
00:01:47,293 --> 00:01:50,933
Speaker 3: Four people at the tip of that rocket being blasted

35
00:01:50,973 --> 00:01:54,413
Speaker 3: into space. Not only did I fear for them, my

36
00:01:54,533 --> 00:01:57,933
Speaker 3: heart went out to the families of the astronauts presumably

37
00:01:58,053 --> 00:02:02,373
Speaker 3: watching live, though I think probably a few not. I'd

38
00:02:02,453 --> 00:02:05,973
Speaker 3: hate to watch any of my family being blasted into space.

39
00:02:06,573 --> 00:02:09,653
Speaker 3: Damn risky. And if I were offered the opportunity to

40
00:02:09,733 --> 00:02:14,173
Speaker 3: join the astronauts as an observer, I would decline. I

41
00:02:14,213 --> 00:02:18,613
Speaker 3: suspect Jack, you may differ in that regard or having

42
00:02:18,653 --> 00:02:20,773
Speaker 3: a baby made you more cautious.

43
00:02:21,733 --> 00:02:24,333
Speaker 2: Do you know I would love to do it. If

44
00:02:24,373 --> 00:02:27,173
Speaker 2: I didn't have a young family, I would leap at

45
00:02:27,173 --> 00:02:30,093
Speaker 2: the opportunity, but I don't think I could do it

46
00:02:30,173 --> 00:02:33,333
Speaker 2: something like Artemis and good faith, knowing that they were

47
00:02:33,373 --> 00:02:35,493
Speaker 2: all sitting there on planet Earth looking up at me,

48
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:37,613
Speaker 2: holding their breath. I don't think I could put them

49
00:02:37,613 --> 00:02:40,173
Speaker 2: through it. Maybe when my son's a little bit older.

50
00:02:42,013 --> 00:02:42,653
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

51
00:02:43,933 --> 00:02:46,133
Speaker 3: Because I wouldn't do it myself doesn't mean I didn't

52
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:48,853
Speaker 3: sit back and watch that launch with huge respect for

53
00:02:48,933 --> 00:02:51,773
Speaker 3: the astronauts. I guess they see the Jenny as a

54
00:02:51,853 --> 00:02:56,173
Speaker 3: sort of freakish opportunity, really but an odd thing. I

55
00:02:56,213 --> 00:03:00,373
Speaker 3: was in full mouth, wide open or thirty seconds after

56
00:03:00,453 --> 00:03:04,773
Speaker 3: the launch, the commentator told us Humanity's next great voyage

57
00:03:04,813 --> 00:03:08,893
Speaker 3: has begun, and then added, Adamus two is three miles

58
00:03:08,973 --> 00:03:12,213
Speaker 3: high and traveling at twelve hundred miles an hour. My

59
00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:14,853
Speaker 3: son Jake looked at me and said, haven't you gone

60
00:03:14,893 --> 00:03:19,573
Speaker 3: faster than that? And I had a board Concord. Concord

61
00:03:19,613 --> 00:03:22,653
Speaker 3: flies at thirteen hundred and fifty miles an hour and

62
00:03:22,733 --> 00:03:26,653
Speaker 3: eleven miles high, But of course there's no comparison. I

63
00:03:26,773 --> 00:03:30,213
Speaker 3: was flying not up and down, but across, and I

64
00:03:30,453 --> 00:03:34,133
Speaker 3: sure as hell was not sitting atop a frightening flare

65
00:03:34,533 --> 00:03:40,573
Speaker 3: of combusted rocket propellant. Besides, adamis two was just warming up. Really,

66
00:03:41,573 --> 00:03:44,773
Speaker 3: I have gone faster than that, Jake, I said to him,

67
00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:49,013
Speaker 3: and I left it at that. Jacket's important for sons

68
00:03:49,093 --> 00:03:52,933
Speaker 3: to think their fathers are heroes.

69
00:03:53,813 --> 00:03:56,813
Speaker 2: This is nothing, you said. This is rocket change, this

70
00:03:56,893 --> 00:03:58,413
Speaker 2: is call us an adventure.

71
00:03:58,573 --> 00:04:00,733
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you know what?

72
00:04:01,013 --> 00:04:03,333
Speaker 2: You know what I thought? I as I watched it

73
00:04:03,413 --> 00:04:06,053
Speaker 2: blast off into space. In my gosh, it was spectacular,

74
00:04:06,133 --> 00:04:06,973
Speaker 2: wasn't it. You know what I thought?

75
00:04:07,053 --> 00:04:08,533
Speaker 4: Yeah?

76
00:04:08,853 --> 00:04:11,413
Speaker 2: I thought. I thought that that these are the actions

77
00:04:11,453 --> 00:04:15,013
Speaker 2: of an organization who bought their fuel before the Straits

78
00:04:15,013 --> 00:04:15,813
Speaker 2: of hor moves.

79
00:04:16,213 --> 00:04:19,613
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, it.

80
00:04:21,053 --> 00:04:23,453
Speaker 2: Really is something. It'll be amazing to see. I'm really

81
00:04:23,493 --> 00:04:25,853
Speaker 2: looking forward to some of the images that come back. Already,

82
00:04:25,853 --> 00:04:29,693
Speaker 2: they've released a couple of overnight of images overnight because

83
00:04:30,373 --> 00:04:33,933
Speaker 2: very rarely do we see the Earth from a distance

84
00:04:35,013 --> 00:04:39,013
Speaker 2: beyond the International Space Station. It's not very often these

85
00:04:39,093 --> 00:04:42,333
Speaker 2: days that spacecraft go beyond the International Space Station. And

86
00:04:42,373 --> 00:04:44,413
Speaker 2: the thing about the International Space Station is it's still

87
00:04:44,453 --> 00:04:47,693
Speaker 2: so close that you can't see the whole of the

88
00:04:47,733 --> 00:04:50,133
Speaker 2: Earth and frame, you know what I mean. So you

89
00:04:50,173 --> 00:04:52,933
Speaker 2: have to travel further away from the Earth to actually

90
00:04:52,973 --> 00:04:54,693
Speaker 2: be able to see it in the kind of context

91
00:04:54,733 --> 00:04:57,853
Speaker 2: of space, and so they sent the first images from

92
00:04:57,973 --> 00:05:01,053
Speaker 2: Artemis to last night, showing the Earth in space as

93
00:05:01,093 --> 00:05:05,613
Speaker 2: a full sphere, and yeah, it's just I mean, I

94
00:05:05,653 --> 00:05:07,533
Speaker 2: just imagined that the astronauts are just sitting there the

95
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:09,933
Speaker 2: whole time, just steering out the window all day. Imagine

96
00:05:09,933 --> 00:05:11,773
Speaker 2: trying to go to sleep knowing that it was there,

97
00:05:11,813 --> 00:05:14,253
Speaker 2: Like it would just be, Yeah, one amazing thing. So

98
00:05:14,493 --> 00:05:16,573
Speaker 2: now I'm looking forward to watching it over the next

99
00:05:16,573 --> 00:05:17,693
Speaker 2: couple of days, like you are.

100
00:05:18,253 --> 00:05:20,013
Speaker 4: Yeap, very much, very good.
