WEBVTT - Is Space Exploration Worth the Cost?

0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>It might seem boring to safe plan and make calculated

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 1>decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P

<v Speaker 2>You work for NASA.

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 3>You work for NASA at an organization that's devoted for space.

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Some people debate if we ever actually got to the moon.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 3>The conspiracy theorist out there, But even if we did

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 3>get to the moon, what really had Like why was

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 3>the purpose of going to the moon You really think

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 3>about it, Right, we went to the moon sixty years ago.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I get it.

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 3>It was a race against the Russians, and we put

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 3>the American flag on the moon, very typical of America.

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>But when you really think about it, what's the point.

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 4>But I'm like those same people love their satellite TV

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 4>in their GPS.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, So that's the point.

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Space for the benefit of Earth is really

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 4>the theme, and it's the theme of you know, Blue Origin,

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 4>And what happens is there's all this amazing research that's.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 5>Done in space.

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 4>Your memory from Mattress Mattress space, there's all the stuff

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 4>that comes out of that, but people don't know that

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 4>it came from space, and so they don't associate space.

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 3>That's why I'm giving you the platform, the educated people,

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 3>including myself, on the benefits of spending trillions of dollars

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 3>over the last fifty years of going to space, Like

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 3>this is your open platform to educate the world on

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 3>the benefits of American tax dollars being spent to go

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 3>to space.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 4>So one of the things that I really enjoyed about

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 4>working on space missions was it helped me understand how

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 4>much research is done in order to help humans fight

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 4>diseases and infections that wouldn't be possible without space. And

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 4>so one thing that happens is if something is launched

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 4>into space, it tends to mutate and it's called virulent

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 4>and so you see researchers working with pharmaceutical companies to

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 4>introduce new antibiotics and new treatments that if you can

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 4>kill it in space, you can kill it on earth.

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 4>And so that directly relates to our ability to just

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 4>go outside right, to be able to interact.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 5>And I'm not talking about vaccines.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking about basic things that allow us to be

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 4>able to better protect people. In addition to that technology,

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 4>right when we look at the artificial heart valve, there

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 4>are so many things that are small that benefit people

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 4>day to day. And then beyond that, you know, climate

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 4>and the world, like the world is becoming ever smaller place,

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of what we know about climate change

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 4>came from studies from space and the impact on that

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.799
<v Speaker 4>that is far reaching. And so you know, when people

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 4>ask me about space, I'm just like, it's not.

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 5>So much about the moon. And all the dollars that

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 5>are spent. The dollars that are spent are actually spent

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 5>in the hopes of spending less dollars.

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 4>Right, if you build something the first time, it's typically

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 4>more expensive, but if you.

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 5>Repeat it, it becomes cheaper. That's why you get these large

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 5>price tags.

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 4>But the ability to be able to say people in

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 4>fifty years aren't going to die from cancer.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 5>That's really what we're after.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>When we look at space, there's a lot, there's a

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>lot going on up there, especially when when you think

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>about technology. You talked about satellites. We we you know,

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>we've been following starlink and all that, but also the

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 1>debris us up there is an issue.

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 4>That's a job, that's a startup. So this gave somebody

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 4>a billion dollar idea, right.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.839
<v Speaker 1>There they have Well you want to elaborate on that

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>because that that's something that that's a real issue.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 5>That's definitely an issue.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 4>But this is why I love it because it sounds

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.279
<v Speaker 4>super sci fi, right, like why don't you create a

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 4>space trash company? Go right ahead, But there's a lot

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 4>of debris in space. And I mean, once again, space

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 4>is a large place, but there's no shortage of jobs, startups, read.

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 5>Opportunity for people to pursue in space.

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I was just going to add, is there is there

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>like a race to Mars? Is that is that what

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>we're headed with this? Like I'm looking at well, like humans,

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>we haven't been tomorrow? Rovers well humans I'm talking about

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>is that a right?

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm looking at humans.

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Have humans been tomorrows that you can say.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>So from a standpoint of like we're watching the wealthiest

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>people in the world mhm explores space expiration, whether it's

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Elon or Jeff Bezos, Like we say, is that the

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>race is that what is headed?

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't necessarily say that that was where it was headed.

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean I think, like when I look over I

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 4>don't know, the last thirty years, what's amazing is this

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 4>idea that you now have a private industry that can

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 4>contribute to something that used to only be the domain

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 4>of governments.

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 5>And I feel like that's the takeaway.

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 4>And when we throw out Besos and Branson and Elon,

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 4>why can't we have the black version or the Hispanic version? Right, Like,

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 4>why not somebody else who is not like them? Because

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 4>a lot of their money came from entrepreneurship and startups

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 4>and they decided to go and pursue space because that.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Was the passion.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 4>So for me, it's sort of like we have this model,

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 4>there are these guys, and I want it to be

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 4>like Basos, Branson, bo.

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Sis's right in line, what do you say to the

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>flat earthers you.

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 5>Like satellite TV?

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Right? I think that's it.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 5>That's my that's my whole response.

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, don't come for me on Twitter, don't come

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 4>for me in the DMS. Like, there are a lot

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 4>of things that people rely on every day that requires

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 4>there to be a rotation of that thing. If you

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 4>think that your satellite just goes left to right and

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 4>left to right again, I can't help you.

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a good answer. So are people in Australia that

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>when you say, I'm like, are people in Australia standing

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 2>upside down?

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Always standing right side up?

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 2>We'll always gravity.

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Of rotation, the axis of the Earth.

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so the Southern hemisphere if we're standing right side

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:14.239
<v Speaker 3>out the world, the northern hemisphere, but they're.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.239
<v Speaker 5>Right set up for where they are.

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>The gravity allows.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Us a legitimate question.

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Look, I read a lot of these conspiracy through the situations,

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 3>so so you know.

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 4>What's funny about conspiracy is like sometimes conspiracy is a

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 4>name for like a whistleblower, right, and like you're really

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 4>getting the drop, But then sometimes.

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 5>It's just weird news.

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 2>What about aliens?

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 5>That's an interesting question.

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Are you allowed to answer that?

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'll just look at it from a probabilistic standpoint, right,

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 4>because who's to say that we're not the aliens.

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, we are aliens. If there's all the life for them,

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the aliens to them.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 4>So this is why I need people to get involved

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 4>in the stem fields, like you too could be responding

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 4>questions like this at work on.

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 5>The class, on your job.

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.439
<v Speaker 2>So do you think that the aliens?

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 5>I think that.

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 4>When I first logged into chat GPT, my very first

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 4>query was returned to me all of the most reputable

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 4>sightings of UFOs in history.

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 6>Do it.

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 5>It's a great search. There's a lot of really good stuff.

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 4>And the reason for that is I'm committed that I

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 4>don't know what I don't know. And from a math perspective,

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 4>if you've ever seen the sun the sunset in Africa,

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 4>which I know you guys have, and you see how

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 4>many stars out there, it's hard to believe that there

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 4>isn't something else.

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 5>Now, what is that else?

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 4>Is that else a dog on another planet?

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Is it a plant? I don't know.

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't organisms, right.

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, but I think that we should inspire people

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 4>to figure it out.

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 5>Like I belong in the camp of let's figure it out.

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So there's a high probability that the other life forms

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 2>outside of Earth.

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 4>There's a Drake equation, and the Drake equation says that

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 4>that probability he is one. Therefore, it is most likely possible.

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Did Drake equations the Drake like the rapper Drake.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 5>He can take credit for that. But it's not that Drake. No,

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 5>it's literally yeah, No, it's just his.

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Name, scientist, yes, Drake Yes.

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 6>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 6>in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 6>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 6>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 6>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 6>Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.760

<v Speaker 6>one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 6>are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly
