1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, April first, and we are about to

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: see something today that most Americans have not experienced in

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: our lifetimes. NASA is sending folks to the moon. And

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ.

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: The countdown is on. This is space stuff and it's

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: just cool and quite frankly, world, this is something that

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: usually brings Americans together. This is a big historic day.

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: We need to put this in context.

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 3: You just gave me chills because we have had we

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: haven't had a lot to cheer for, and this is

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 3: something that, yes, brings America together, the world together. This

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 3: is exciting and I hadn't thought about that. We have

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: not most of us are not old enough hope to

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: have been a part of or even recalled watching astronauts

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: launch to the moon. This is epic and it's historic

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: for a lot of reasons.

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: The majority of Americans this has not happened in our

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: lifetimes because the last time it happened was in nineteen

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: seventy two. So if you were born after nineteen seventy two,

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: you have never seen us send astronauts.

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: Towards the moon.

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: Even we're gonna see it today and wrote, Even some

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: folks who were born or kids around that time, you

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: don't remember it. So the overwhelming majority we are seeing

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: something today that has not happened in most of our lifetimes,

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: and it's space stuff. I keep saying, I'm kind of

28
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: a space nerd. You see how excited I get with launches,

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: and I get up in the middle.

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: Of the night. This is just cool. Space is cool.

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you don't even have to get up in

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: the middle of the night this one. Yeah, yeah, this one.

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: The launch is at six twenty four pm Eastern time.

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: They have a two hour launch windows, so it could

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: happen anytime between six twenty four and eight twenty four

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: pm tonight at Kennedy's Space in Florida. And this is

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: going to take This mission is going to take astronauts

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: farther into deep space than any human being has ever

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: been before. So not only are we having a Moon

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: mission for the first time in more than fifty years,

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: it's the farthest any human has ever been. That is

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: an incredible thing to get your head around.

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: This sounds star treking when you say it is. Yeah,

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: no man has gone before we are.

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: It is absolutely exciting.

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: We're sending for This is all part, of course, the

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: Artemis program, which is beyond way past schedule and way

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: over budget. But I don't care about that today, it's

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: so cool. But the Artemis program is the one that's

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: supposed to get Americans astronauts back into space, back to

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: deep space, and eventually robes. This is part of a

52
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: program that's going to set up possibly a base on

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: the Moon. This is just a part of that step,

54
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: but robes. This has been going on for some ten

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: years in development, a little behind. I'm sure, fine, but

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: it's okay. Today's a really.

57
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: Big today's a very exciting day. And yes, this is

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: Artemis two. Artemis one launched in twenty twenty two, but

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: that was an uncrude mission around the Moon, so it

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: was basically a test for what we're about to see

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: begin today.

62
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: That was a test for this test. This is a test.

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: Is something mel correct, This is the next part.

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: But this is a big test because they are going

65
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: these four astronauts are going on a spacecraft that no

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 3: human being has flown in before. So yes, they are

67
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: truly pioneers. They're brave as hell. Obviously they have gone

68
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: through a tremendous amount of training, Three of the four

69
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: astronauts have already been to the International Space Stations, so

70
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: they're not newbies here in space. But still to go

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: on an on a spacecraft that has never been flown

72
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: by humans before is something that I would believe requires

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 3: an incredible amount of bravery.

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: And this is also one that had some issues before.

75
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Correct this particular, you're doing that later or do it now?

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Dimension Orion, the craft that they're on, Yeah, it did

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: go up for a test flight. What they're essentially doing

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: is slingshotting around the Moon and Earth is for this travel.

79
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: But the same craft did have some heat shield issues

80
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: when it re entered last time robes, and it caused damage.

81
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: And look, even if you don't follow those space program

82
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: that closely, you hear heat shield and whatnot, and you

83
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: go back and you think about some Space Shuttle disasters.

84
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: This is significant stuff. They think they fixed that problem

85
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: by what was it of gases weren't venting out properly

86
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: and it caused some damage. They fixed that problem, but

87
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: they also robes. It was serious enough they've changed the

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: route that the Orion is coming back on just to

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: be sure. YESO that causes issues. It's always takeoff and

90
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: landing right, that are always the scariest time, It seems

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: to be.

92
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: No matter what aircraft you're in. Yes, and this is

93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: going to be a ten day journey. They're going to

94
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: loop around the Earth and the Moon and yeah, this

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 3: is really cool. They're going to go from zero to

96
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 3: five hundred miles per hour and two seconds. Can you

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: even get your head around what that is like? And

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: then the really big they say key part will be

99
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 3: three and a half hours after liftoff, where the Orion

100
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: capsule will fully separate from the rocket that propelled them.

101
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: And then they are going to test drive it. They say.

102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: It's kind of like a like I guess some of

103
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: these driverless cars where you can still manually override, so

104
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: that they literally, as you pointed out, will be testing

105
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: for other missions about just can we dock here, can

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: we maneuver it here? Would we be able to do

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: this with the Orion? So they're going to be just

108
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: literally testing it out, you.

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: Know, it's all the first thing comes in mind. You've

110
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: got a nineteen year old you had to teach to

111
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: drive not too long ago, but you take them out

112
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: to a big parking lot, right, and you just let

113
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: them where no one's around away from the South. They

114
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: take you to Walmart in the middle of the night

115
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: that you practice and you can't hit anything. You're in space,

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: not gonna hit anything, No, not yourselves out.

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: No one else up there. So that's pretty cool. Here's

118
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: the other cool thing. The cruise views from space are

119
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: going to be shared live with the public. How awesome

120
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: is that. So they're going to be looking at parts

121
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: of the Moon that have never been seen by the

122
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: human eye before, and we'll all technically at least we're

123
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: supposed to be able to see it along with the

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: astronauts without question.

125
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: Isn't this going to be the most watched followed launch

126
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: we have ever seen in space history, given all the

127
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: technology we have now, given how we all look at

128
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: our phones, given how NaSTA and all these places have

129
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: great social media accounts, and all the pictures that available

130
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: roads we are going to be.

131
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: Along with them on this mission.

132
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: Yes, this is this is so so so cool. Now,

133
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: there's one part that I read about that just freaked

134
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: me out. I'm sure they won't be freaked out. But

135
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 3: there will be a time when the Artemis two, the

136
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: Moon will be between the spacecraft and Earth, and so

137
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: there will be no communications, certainly no live video feed,

138
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: and the astronauts will not be to talk to Houston

139
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: or whoever they're talking to for as much as fifty minutes,

140
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: fifty I don't know, it's that long. Thirty to fifty minutes,

141
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: that's how long they will be out of communication with Nastay.

142
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Do you know which day that's on?

143
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: No, I don't, but that is frightening to think about.

144
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: We've seen that in movies.

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: We have actually seen it in space movies where there's

146
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: this moment we have to wait see on the other side,

147
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff like that. This is okay, yes,

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: that's a little but they're prepared for they know it's coming.

149
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: But wrote the idea that today we are launching, launching

150
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: humans that are going to go farther in space than

151
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: any human has ever gone. And this is happening in

152
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: our lifetime. We are privileged to be able to see it.

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: It's so cool and you know what, I love this

154
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: is going to happen. I haven't done the math, but

155
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: they say four hours and forty minutes before launch, So

156
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: when is that around two maybe one something this afternoon

157
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: Eastern time. We're going to see the four astronauts, who,

158
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: by the way, are currently in quarantine. I hadn't thought

159
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: about that.

160
00:07:59,280 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: You have to.

161
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: Be be with their families. You'd think you'd be hugging

162
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: your families and hanging with them the night before you launch. Nope,

163
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: you're in quarantine to limit exposure to germs. But those

164
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: four NASA astronauts, and will tell you who they are

165
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: because they are of significance, will walk out before the launch.

166
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: Their families are going to be waiting nearby. They can't

167
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: touch them or anything like that, but they'll be able

168
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: to wave, shout I love you, and you'll be able

169
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: to see all of this on live international television, and

170
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: they'll be out in their orange jumpsuits. The New York

171
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: Times did a whole article on the color the Pantone

172
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: color of their suits. It's international orange. I can save

173
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: that for another episode because I know how much you

174
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: love your colors. Well, I'm looking for my book you

175
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: a Pantone book that I bought you for Christmas. But

176
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: it is called international orange. And there are all sorts

177
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: of historic reasons why they've chosen that color of a jumpsuit,

178
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: one of them being that it looks beautiful against blue,

179
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: and so when you'll see them, plus there if there's

180
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: an emergency, there's just all sorts of historic end visual reasons.

181
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: Was the emergency bar?

182
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 3: Well, they're easy to spot. You can find someone in

183
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: an orange yes, just speaking in the water, okay, yes,

184
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: when they come down crash.

185
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: You're right.

186
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry, but just to see that moment.

187
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: And then they have patches. Did you read about this?

188
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: Patches on these orange suits? I love this? So the

189
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: the pilot said that the crew members designed their mission

190
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: patch to make so for Artemis two, it says A

191
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: one one, but they designed it to look like the

192
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: word all, so just to highlight the togetherness the four

193
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: of them going on this mission together. So I love

194
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: that their patch basically says all for Artemis two.

195
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Is anybody out there calling there's a DEI Space trip? No?

196
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: But it is?

197
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: Is it?

198
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: I mean in a way. We have the first black

199
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: man to travel around the Moon. He's the pilot of

200
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: the mission, Victor Glover. And we have the first woman

201
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: ever to travel around the room, Christina Cox, she's a

202
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: mission specialist. And we have the first non NASA astronaut

203
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: to travel around the Moon, the Canadian Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman.

204
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: The commander is the only one who is in a first,

205
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: but he's the commander in charge, first in charge, so

206
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: everyone's got a first.

207
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: No, it sounds like everybody's in the same role as

208
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: they are on Earth. The white guy's in charge. A

209
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: couple of deis on the No, I'm joking about that.

210
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: But the reason is it's so much has been talked

211
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: about in this country by DEI to where when there

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: is history made and there are people to be celebrated,

213
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: it's almost dismissed as I they're only there because she's

214
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: a woman. I only there because he's black. Hate hate

215
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: hate that. And so when we do have history, it's

216
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: almost like we can't even celebrate that it's happening because

217
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 2: there are some people who have built up this I

218
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: guess this narrative in the country that you don't deserve it.

219
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: Well, these are seasoned astronots, Oh yeah, to the International

220
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: Space Station before and know what they are doing. And

221
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: by the way, I am proud to see representation up

222
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: there for all of us to see. Wow, how cool

223
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: is that there's a woman up there? How cool is

224
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: that there's a black man up there piloting everybody. This

225
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: is there's amazing and it should be celibar.

226
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: He's driving them.

227
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: Huh, he's driving them?

228
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: Oh stop else stop, we need a uber to the moon.

229
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: Who you got I can't he said, it said he

230
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: was driving.

231
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: No, it's no matter what Robes this today. We can't.

232
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: We can't emphasize enough. We forget that we went to

233
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: the moon in sixty nine. Nineteen sixty nine was the

234
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: first mission, and the very last one was in nineteen

235
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: seventy two.

236
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: We have not been back.

237
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: We were not born.

238
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: We weren't. This is incredible. So this countdown is on.

239
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: I know robes if they were, they're saying the weather

240
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 2: is eighty percent?

241
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: Is the number favorable conditions?

242
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 2: Yes, so it looks like it's going to happen. But

243
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: even if it doesn't happen today, they have a bunch

244
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: of windows in the month of paproll they do now

245
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: they could do this, So this is going to happen.

246
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: How long do you I don't remember seeing I know

247
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: they've been in quarantine. Did you see how long they've

248
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: been quarantined? Because they have eventually been locked down and

249
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: nobody's been around them, So I don't see it know

250
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: how long that goes. I'm trying to think of even

251
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: you remember straight hand when he went to space, nothing

252
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 2: like this. Obviously he went up for eleven minutes. He

253
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: was here, was at a camp for a week to

254
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: it was right, but that.

255
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: Was mostly I think, to learn about weightlessness, just to

256
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 3: know what to prepare for when you go up into space.

257
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: They didn't separate them, even though he had family he

258
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: could be with and whatnot. I just remembered how he

259
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: was kind of isolated for a little while. This wasn't

260
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: that wasn't a health issue. It was ten minutes. It's

261
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: not gonna be a problem.

262
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: So according to AI, the modern NASA astronauts typically quarantine

263
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: for fourteen days prior to launch to ensure that they're healthy.

264
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: And that makes sense because you don't want to bring

265
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: anything obviously up into space where you have no options.

266
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: So that does make sense, a fourteen day quarantine. Think

267
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: about when we were doing COVID and you had to

268
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: go anywhere. When I had to go to Tokyo for

269
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: the Olympics, a fourteen day quarantine was mandatory, So that

270
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: must be there must be scientific health reasons behind that number.

271
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: Oh, that makes sense. We'll stay with us here, folks.

272
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: We're going to give you some other details here, including

273
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: we are going to help you win trivia in your

274
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 2: office and amongst your friends today when somebody asked who

275
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: was the last person to walk on the moon? Yep,

276
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: we're going to help you be the smartest person in

277
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: the office today.

278
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: Give you that.

279
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: Also, I will ask robok a question. We just talked

280
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: about these astronauts their last night, getting their meal, seeing

281
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: their family. What actually before you go to space? What

282
00:13:47,280 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: would you do the night before? Continue here, counting down

283
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: to a historic day for NASA. We are sending folks

284
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: to the Moon for the first time in many of

285
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: our lifetimes. We haven't launched anybody to the moon since

286
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy two.

287
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: Ropes.

288
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: If we haven't made clear, they're sling shotting. These guys

289
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: are not stopping at the moon. No, this will not

290
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: be a space walk situation. They are just doing a flyby.

291
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need that gravitational pull. But they're going to

292
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: go deeper into space than any humans have ever been before.

293
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: They're going on another side, the other side of the

294
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: Moon that has never been seen by human eyes. So

295
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,119
Speaker 3: this is cool. They are going to see parts unseen,

296
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: and we all, we're told, get to see it with

297
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: them because there will be a camera that we will

298
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: be able to see in live. I mean, that's just remarkable.

299
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: Live from space. We are going to be able to

300
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: see what the astronauts are looking at from their spacecraft.

301
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: The ARTEMI is too o ryon.

302
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: Doesn't this feel good right now? And all that's going on,

303
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: isn't the space program in space launch? When you see

304
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: an astronaut making that walk, when you see them with

305
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: those helmets, which when you see all that, don't we

306
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: all just swell up with American pride and all them

307
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: the same size.

308
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: Yes, and now it can be American and Canadian pride

309
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: because we've got one Canadian on board with the three Americans.

310
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: And yes, it does fill you with the sense of unity.

311
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: And I do like seeing who's up there. We got

312
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: a lot of representation. It's cool to see someone who

313
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: looks like you up in space doing something that you

314
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: probably couldn't even imagine having the courage to do. But

315
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: yet it is an honor to see someone do that

316
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: on behalf of the rest of us for space exploration

317
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: and what that could mean for future generations.

318
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: It is ro This is something I don't know, we

319
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: learned about it in school. If you go back to

320
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: Lewis and Clark, I mean, you can just go back.

321
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: When it comes to exploration, these things, these traveling these

322
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: people are setting a stage that we don't even understand

323
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: one hundred years from now. These are pioneers in a

324
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: way that it's hard to understand.

325
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: And this is just part of the history. Human exploration

326
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: is just part of human history. It's what we do.

327
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: You have to go somewhere else, you have to push it,

328
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: you have to risk and they're willing to do it

329
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,479
Speaker 2: or I just it's this isn't just launching another satellite.

330
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: This isn't space tourism. This is the real deal. This

331
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: is I don't know, we always get into this stuff.

332
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: But it's happening tonight six twenty for a reasonable time.

333
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: Six twenty four pm Eastern time. Yes, but you know what,

334
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: the coverage begins. I don't know when any of you

335
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: all are listening to this, but we're taping this or

336
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: recording this pretty early. But coverage begins at seven forty

337
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: five am Eastern Time on NASA's YouTube channel. If you

338
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: want to watch them, load propellant onto, but just you're

339
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: literally watching the mission, the preps taking place again starting

340
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: at seven forty five this morning, but the full coverage

341
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: begins at twelve fifty pm Eastern Time. NASA plus Amazon

342
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: Prime and YouTube you can watch the full launch coverage.

343
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: And I think, yeah, shortly after that when you start

344
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: to see the astronauts come out and make their final

345
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: goodbye as they walk towards these astrovaans. There are these

346
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: futuristic astravans that take them to the launch pad. But

347
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 3: you were mentioning trivia before the break.

348
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Yes, because I didn't know the walking on the Moon,

349
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: of course, Neil Armstrong, all of our minds. But there

350
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 2: were several more Moon missions and other men walked on

351
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: the Moon. The last Moon.

352
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: Mission was actually nineteen seventy two, Apollo seventeen. I didn't

353
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: know that.

354
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't either.

355
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know that nineteen seventy two was the last

356
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: time we were up there. Three astronauts went and wrote this.

357
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: If anybody asked who left the last footprint on the Moon,

358
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: his name was Eugene Kernan. He was the captain of

359
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: Apollo seventeen. Literally the last footprint human footprint on the

360
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: Moon was by that guy in December of nineteen seventy two. Wow, Eugene,

361
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: we have not been back in that long. That's just

362
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: awesome that we're doing this today. Now, how soon after

363
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: this one, this one's had this year, the next one?

364
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: There is it twenty twenty.

365
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: Twenty eight, yes, end of twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight, yes, so.

366
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: Soon, So that one's coming out the rogues, h there go.

367
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 2: Who knows how they're feeling, and imagine how they're feeling.

368
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm not sure when they're getting up this morning, but

369
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: they are on a very specific and have been on

370
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: a very specific sleep schedule, so they have a whole

371
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: routine they're going through today. But you said they're seeing

372
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: family today.

373
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: Well, when they walk outwards the Astrovans, their family will

374
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: be nearby, and they'll be able to wave and shout

375
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: out like I love you, and I think the pilot said,

376
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: instead of normally we would have to text or email

377
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 3: our loved ones, will actually be able to hear their

378
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 3: voices and will actually be able to tell our family

379
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: that we love see you know what, Roades.

380
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. I remember like media being there

381
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: as they're doing that walk, but I thought the families

382
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: did this thing we're talking about the night before, the

383
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: day before.

384
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: From what I am historical, Yes, from what I'm reading,

385
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: it looks as though we'll see the families to say goodbye.

386
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: So I think they're actually maybe they're deliberately staging this

387
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: from a production standpoint, which is wonderful. See, yes, the

388
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: families having their last goodbyes, which is, oh my gosh,

389
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: I cannot imagine. We know how we felt watching straight

390
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: Ah be waitless for ten seconds in space. I thought

391
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: I was going to hyperventilate. I cannot imagine a husband, wife,

392
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 3: a brother of any of it. Oh my gosh.

393
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: We won't even like Strahan that much. And we were

394
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: worried about them. But that you're Robes.

395
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: You are one hundred percent correct that everything was fun

396
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: and games until we saw him in that flight suit

397
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: walking up those stairs and we said, holy hell. We

398
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 2: started robes. We were in communication, don't do it. We

399
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 2: were telling just please, don't do it. So and again,

400
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: he's a dear friend, this is family, this is your husband,

401
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: this is your child, this is your ohoh.

402
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine. But it's a cool scene. We have

403
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: to see it.

404
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: But it gets us what robes invested even more so

405
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: in this mission and these people. What would you do

406
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: your life? Oh what would I do before you go

407
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: up into space?

408
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: I'd want like a filet mignon. You're saying, like the food.

409
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I would want something that I wouldn't be

410
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: able to have in space. I'd want to, you know what,

411
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: I want to take a wonderful run on the ground

412
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 3: in Florida.

413
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: Let you do that.

414
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: Oh they might not, because I'd want to, just like

415
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: I'd want to be able to feel gravity, feel the

416
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: weight of things, feel outdoors, feel like that's what I

417
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: would want, the sun on my face. I would want

418
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: to be able to run. And maybe if they could

419
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 3: have a place like a beach where no one else

420
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: was I don't know.

421
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: Oh yes, you say that, and you make a very

422
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: good point, because these folks are going to be in

423
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: a really cramped space with two other individuals for ten

424
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: straight days.

425
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: You cannot take a walk outside.

426
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: No, and like being weightless, I'm sure is cool, but

427
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 3: it might be nice to feel the weight of your body,

428
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 3: like just really appreciate. Wow, for one last time, I

429
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: have something grilled and juicy and fresh.

430
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 2: I want to have you seen anything about restrictions. No,

431
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: I know, I have no idea, and what do you

432
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: we We are always about this because we're runners, and

433
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: so it's very very specific. Things you should and shouldn't

434
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: eat before you go run twenty six miles? Aren't there

435
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: things maybe you shouldn't have sitting on your stomach before

436
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: you go from zero to five hundred miles an hour

437
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: and two a second.

438
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: I have no idea what those types of g forces

439
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 3: are like. And and then what weightlessness does to the

440
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: digestive track, No idea, no clue. That sounds like constipation,

441
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: but I don't know.

442
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you know it's a part of space travel.

443
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 2: This is so cool. Bless them, bless their families. Everything

444
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: takes place today. We are rooting for you on the whole,

445
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: and you know, Ropes even it's kind of cool to

446
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: see an American and a Canadian getting.

447
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 3: Along, you know, at this point, I never thought that

448
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: would be a big deal sight, but it is apparently

449
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 3: now these days.

450
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 2: Right, folks, We appreciate you always spending some time with

451
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 2: us for my daar Amy Robock, I'm TJ.

452
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: Holmes. We will see you for launch.

453
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: The cat puts the chan
