WEBVTT - Go For Launch! History-Making, Crewed Moon Mission Blasts Off TONIGHT 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:10.959 Hey there, folks. 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.960 It is Wednesday, April first, and we are about to 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:20.560 see something today that most Americans have not experienced in 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:25.799 our lifetimes. NASA is sending folks to the moon. And 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.880 with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.080 The countdown is on. This is space stuff and it's 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.159 just cool and quite frankly, world, this is something that 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.600 usually brings Americans together. This is a big historic day. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.000 We need to put this in context. 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.919 You just gave me chills because we have had we 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.600 haven't had a lot to cheer for, and this is 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:48.520 something that, yes, brings America together, the world together. This 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.919 is exciting and I hadn't thought about that. We have 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.920 not most of us are not old enough hope to 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:59.560 have been a part of or even recalled watching astronauts 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.840 launch to the moon. This is epic and it's historic 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:06.240 for a lot of reasons. 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.840 The majority of Americans this has not happened in our 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.000 lifetimes because the last time it happened was in nineteen 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:17.160 seventy two. So if you were born after nineteen seventy two, 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:22.840 you have never seen us send astronauts. 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:22.839 Towards the moon. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.440 Even we're gonna see it today and wrote, Even some 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.760 folks who were born or kids around that time, you 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.199 don't remember it. So the overwhelming majority we are seeing 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.080 something today that has not happened in most of our lifetimes, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.240 and it's space stuff. I keep saying, I'm kind of 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.000 a space nerd. You see how excited I get with launches, 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:41.080 and I get up in the middle. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.679 Of the night. This is just cool. Space is cool. 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.240 Yeah, And you don't even have to get up in 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.440 the middle of the night this one. Yeah, yeah, this one. 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.680 The launch is at six twenty four pm Eastern time. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.120 They have a two hour launch windows, so it could 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.720 happen anytime between six twenty four and eight twenty four 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:02.320 pm tonight at Kennedy's Space in Florida. And this is 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.800 going to take This mission is going to take astronauts 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.440 farther into deep space than any human being has ever 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.640 been before. So not only are we having a Moon 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.160 mission for the first time in more than fifty years, 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.960 it's the farthest any human has ever been. That is 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.840 an incredible thing to get your head around. 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.160 This sounds star treking when you say it is. Yeah, 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.600 no man has gone before we are. 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.760 It is absolutely exciting. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.400 We're sending for This is all part, of course, the 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:38.640 Artemis program, which is beyond way past schedule and way 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.160 over budget. But I don't care about that today, it's 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.880 so cool. But the Artemis program is the one that's 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.480 supposed to get Americans astronauts back into space, back to 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.160 deep space, and eventually robes. This is part of a 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.080 program that's going to set up possibly a base on 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.640 the Moon. This is just a part of that step, 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.799 but robes. This has been going on for some ten 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.400 years in development, a little behind. I'm sure, fine, but 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.120 it's okay. Today's a really. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.760 Big today's a very exciting day. And yes, this is 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.880 Artemis two. Artemis one launched in twenty twenty two, but 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.120 that was an uncrude mission around the Moon, so it 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.120 was basically a test for what we're about to see 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:16.639 begin today. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.760 That was a test for this test. This is a test. 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.359 Is something mel correct, This is the next part. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.160 But this is a big test because they are going 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.120 these four astronauts are going on a spacecraft that no 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.079 human being has flown in before. So yes, they are 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.600 truly pioneers. They're brave as hell. Obviously they have gone 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.920 through a tremendous amount of training, Three of the four 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.840 astronauts have already been to the International Space Stations, so 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.720 they're not newbies here in space. But still to go 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.680 on an on a spacecraft that has never been flown 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.440 by humans before is something that I would believe requires 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.000 an incredible amount of bravery. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.360 And this is also one that had some issues before. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.080 Correct this particular, you're doing that later or do it now? 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.360 Dimension Orion, the craft that they're on, Yeah, it did 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.480 go up for a test flight. What they're essentially doing 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.880 is slingshotting around the Moon and Earth is for this travel. 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.960 But the same craft did have some heat shield issues 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.120 when it re entered last time robes, and it caused damage. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.239 And look, even if you don't follow those space program 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.560 that closely, you hear heat shield and whatnot, and you 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.800 go back and you think about some Space Shuttle disasters. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:28.040 This is significant stuff. They think they fixed that problem 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.240 by what was it of gases weren't venting out properly 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.800 and it caused some damage. They fixed that problem, but 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.760 they also robes. It was serious enough they've changed the 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.279 route that the Orion is coming back on just to 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.640 be sure. YESO that causes issues. It's always takeoff and 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.080 landing right, that are always the scariest time, It seems 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:50.360 to be. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.120 No matter what aircraft you're in. Yes, and this is 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.159 going to be a ten day journey. They're going to 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.960 loop around the Earth and the Moon and yeah, this 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.280 is really cool. They're going to go from zero to 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.160 five hundred miles per hour and two seconds. Can you 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.159 even get your head around what that is like? And 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.839 then the really big they say key part will be 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.679 three and a half hours after liftoff, where the Orion 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.520 capsule will fully separate from the rocket that propelled them. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.680 And then they are going to test drive it. They say. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.120 It's kind of like a like I guess some of 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.760 these driverless cars where you can still manually override, so 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.000 that they literally, as you pointed out, will be testing 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.320 for other missions about just can we dock here, can 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.320 we maneuver it here? Would we be able to do 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.160 this with the Orion? So they're going to be just 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.800 literally testing it out, you. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.640 Know, it's all the first thing comes in mind. You've 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.400 got a nineteen year old you had to teach to 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.520 drive not too long ago, but you take them out 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.560 to a big parking lot, right, and you just let 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.400 them where no one's around away from the South. They 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:51.800 take you to Walmart in the middle of the night 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.640 that you practice and you can't hit anything. You're in space, 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.120 not gonna hit anything, No, not yourselves out. 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.719 No one else up there. So that's pretty cool. Here's 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.920 the other cool thing. The cruise views from space are 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.920 going to be shared live with the public. How awesome 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.440 is that. So they're going to be looking at parts 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.080 of the Moon that have never been seen by the 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.160 human eye before, and we'll all technically at least we're 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.279 supposed to be able to see it along with the 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.159 astronauts without question. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:26.599 Isn't this going to be the most watched followed launch 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.720 we have ever seen in space history, given all the 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.640 technology we have now, given how we all look at 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.760 our phones, given how NaSTA and all these places have 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.919 great social media accounts, and all the pictures that available 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.640 roads we are going to be. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.400 Along with them on this mission. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.640 Yes, this is this is so so so cool. Now, 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.120 there's one part that I read about that just freaked 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.080 me out. I'm sure they won't be freaked out. But 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.279 there will be a time when the Artemis two, the 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:55.000 Moon will be between the spacecraft and Earth, and so 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.320 there will be no communications, certainly no live video feed, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.400 and the astronauts will not be to talk to Houston 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.960 or whoever they're talking to for as much as fifty minutes, 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.360 fifty I don't know, it's that long. Thirty to fifty minutes, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.400 that's how long they will be out of communication with Nastay. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.440 Do you know which day that's on? 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.720 No, I don't, but that is frightening to think about. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.000 We've seen that in movies. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.480 We have actually seen it in space movies where there's 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.520 this moment we have to wait see on the other side, 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.480 all kinds of stuff like that. This is okay, yes, 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.920 that's a little but they're prepared for they know it's coming. 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.560 But wrote the idea that today we are launching, launching 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.160 humans that are going to go farther in space than 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.080 any human has ever gone. And this is happening in 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.760 our lifetime. We are privileged to be able to see it. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.000 It's so cool and you know what, I love this 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.000 is going to happen. I haven't done the math, but 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.920 they say four hours and forty minutes before launch, So 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.840 when is that around two maybe one something this afternoon 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.960 Eastern time. We're going to see the four astronauts, who, 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:58.920 by the way, are currently in quarantine. I hadn't thought 0:07:58.920 --> 0:07:59.280 about that. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:07:59.680 You have to. 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.480 Be be with their families. You'd think you'd be hugging 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.520 your families and hanging with them the night before you launch. Nope, 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:09.200 you're in quarantine to limit exposure to germs. But those 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.160 four NASA astronauts, and will tell you who they are 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.880 because they are of significance, will walk out before the launch. 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.680 Their families are going to be waiting nearby. They can't 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.840 touch them or anything like that, but they'll be able 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.800 to wave, shout I love you, and you'll be able 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:28.800 to see all of this on live international television, and 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.000 they'll be out in their orange jumpsuits. The New York 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.280 Times did a whole article on the color the Pantone 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.880 color of their suits. It's international orange. I can save 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:39.720 that for another episode because I know how much you 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.520 love your colors. Well, I'm looking for my book you 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.600 a Pantone book that I bought you for Christmas. But 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.200 it is called international orange. And there are all sorts 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.160 of historic reasons why they've chosen that color of a jumpsuit, 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.480 one of them being that it looks beautiful against blue, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.680 and so when you'll see them, plus there if there's 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.400 an emergency, there's just all sorts of historic end visual reasons. 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:02.440 Was the emergency bar? 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.079 Well, they're easy to spot. You can find someone in 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:11.040 an orange yes, just speaking in the water, okay, yes, 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:12.920 when they come down crash. 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:13.120 You're right. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.120 Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry, but just to see that moment. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.840 And then they have patches. Did you read about this? 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.199 Patches on these orange suits? I love this? So the 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.640 the pilot said that the crew members designed their mission 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.400 patch to make so for Artemis two, it says A 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.280 one one, but they designed it to look like the 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:37.000 word all, so just to highlight the togetherness the four 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.160 of them going on this mission together. So I love 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.120 that their patch basically says all for Artemis two. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.360 Is anybody out there calling there's a DEI Space trip? No? 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:48.800 But it is? 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:49.079 Is it? 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.640 I mean in a way. We have the first black 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.400 man to travel around the Moon. He's the pilot of 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.480 the mission, Victor Glover. And we have the first woman 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.760 ever to travel around the room, Christina Cox, she's a 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.920 mission specialist. And we have the first non NASA astronaut 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:13.400 to travel around the Moon, the Canadian Jeremy Hansen, Reid Wiseman. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.720 The commander is the only one who is in a first, 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.080 but he's the commander in charge, first in charge, so 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.120 everyone's got a first. 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.400 No, it sounds like everybody's in the same role as 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:29.600 they are on Earth. The white guy's in charge. A 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.280 couple of deis on the No, I'm joking about that. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.600 But the reason is it's so much has been talked 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.480 about in this country by DEI to where when there 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.959 is history made and there are people to be celebrated, 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.880 it's almost dismissed as I they're only there because she's 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.560 a woman. I only there because he's black. Hate hate 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.760 hate that. And so when we do have history, it's 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.520 almost like we can't even celebrate that it's happening because 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.960 there are some people who have built up this I 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.800 guess this narrative in the country that you don't deserve it. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.920 Well, these are seasoned astronots, Oh yeah, to the International 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.280 Space Station before and know what they are doing. And 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.360 by the way, I am proud to see representation up 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.040 there for all of us to see. Wow, how cool 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.800 is that there's a woman up there? How cool is 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.800 that there's a black man up there piloting everybody. This 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.400 is there's amazing and it should be celibar. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:16.160 He's driving them. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.360 Huh, he's driving them? 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:23.839 Oh stop else stop, we need a uber to the moon. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.880 Who you got I can't he said, it said he 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.160 was driving. 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.360 No, it's no matter what Robes this today. We can't. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.800 We can't emphasize enough. We forget that we went to 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.640 the moon in sixty nine. Nineteen sixty nine was the 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.240 first mission, and the very last one was in nineteen 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:45.400 seventy two. 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.680 We have not been back. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.000 We were not born. 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.600 We weren't. This is incredible. So this countdown is on. 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.000 I know robes if they were, they're saying the weather 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:55.959 is eighty percent? 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:57.760 Is the number favorable conditions? 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.719 Yes, so it looks like it's going to happen. But 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.720 even if it doesn't happen today, they have a bunch 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.120 of windows in the month of paproll they do now 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.680 they could do this, So this is going to happen. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.400 How long do you I don't remember seeing I know 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.640 they've been in quarantine. Did you see how long they've 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.680 been quarantined? Because they have eventually been locked down and 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.840 nobody's been around them, So I don't see it know 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.480 how long that goes. I'm trying to think of even 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.559 you remember straight hand when he went to space, nothing 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.599 like this. Obviously he went up for eleven minutes. He 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.000 was here, was at a camp for a week to 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:31.280 it was right, but that. 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.920 Was mostly I think, to learn about weightlessness, just to 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.680 know what to prepare for when you go up into space. 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.320 They didn't separate them, even though he had family he 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.320 could be with and whatnot. I just remembered how he 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.440 was kind of isolated for a little while. This wasn't 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.280 that wasn't a health issue. It was ten minutes. It's 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:47.960 not gonna be a problem. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.960 So according to AI, the modern NASA astronauts typically quarantine 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.000 for fourteen days prior to launch to ensure that they're healthy. 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:56.880 And that makes sense because you don't want to bring 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:02.000 anything obviously up into space where you have no options. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.160 So that does make sense, a fourteen day quarantine. Think 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.040 about when we were doing COVID and you had to 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.480 go anywhere. When I had to go to Tokyo for 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.120 the Olympics, a fourteen day quarantine was mandatory, So that 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.840 must be there must be scientific health reasons behind that number. 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.439 Oh, that makes sense. We'll stay with us here, folks. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.559 We're going to give you some other details here, including 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:25.400 we are going to help you win trivia in your 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.439 office and amongst your friends today when somebody asked who 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:34.360 was the last person to walk on the moon? Yep, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:36.480 we're going to help you be the smartest person in 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:37.199 the office today. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:37.600 Give you that. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.600 Also, I will ask robok a question. We just talked 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.720 about these astronauts their last night, getting their meal, seeing 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.240 their family. What actually before you go to space? What 0:13:47.280 --> 0:14:01.959 would you do the night before? Continue here, counting down 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.920 to a historic day for NASA. We are sending folks 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.920 to the Moon for the first time in many of 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.640 our lifetimes. We haven't launched anybody to the moon since 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:12.559 nineteen seventy two. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:12.960 Ropes. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.960 If we haven't made clear, they're sling shotting. These guys 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.720 are not stopping at the moon. No, this will not 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.200 be a space walk situation. They are just doing a flyby. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.320 Yeah, they need that gravitational pull. But they're going to 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.000 go deeper into space than any humans have ever been before. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.520 They're going on another side, the other side of the 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.160 Moon that has never been seen by human eyes. So 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.119 this is cool. They are going to see parts unseen, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.960 and we all, we're told, get to see it with 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.920 them because there will be a camera that we will 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.080 be able to see in live. I mean, that's just remarkable. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.120 Live from space. We are going to be able to 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.400 see what the astronauts are looking at from their spacecraft. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:52.880 The ARTEMI is too o ryon. 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.640 Doesn't this feel good right now? And all that's going on, 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.080 isn't the space program in space launch? When you see 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.560 an astronaut making that walk, when you see them with 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.440 those helmets, which when you see all that, don't we 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.840 all just swell up with American pride and all them 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:08.400 the same size. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.880 Yes, and now it can be American and Canadian pride 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.520 because we've got one Canadian on board with the three Americans. 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.040 And yes, it does fill you with the sense of unity. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.840 And I do like seeing who's up there. We got 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.280 a lot of representation. It's cool to see someone who 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.440 looks like you up in space doing something that you 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.920 probably couldn't even imagine having the courage to do. But 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.120 yet it is an honor to see someone do that 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.920 on behalf of the rest of us for space exploration 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.920 and what that could mean for future generations. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.960 It is ro This is something I don't know, we 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:39.560 learned about it in school. If you go back to 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.320 Lewis and Clark, I mean, you can just go back. 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.480 When it comes to exploration, these things, these traveling these 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.200 people are setting a stage that we don't even understand 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.240 one hundred years from now. These are pioneers in a 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.400 way that it's hard to understand. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.840 And this is just part of the history. Human exploration 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.880 is just part of human history. It's what we do. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.880 You have to go somewhere else, you have to push it, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.480 you have to risk and they're willing to do it 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.479 or I just it's this isn't just launching another satellite. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.720 This isn't space tourism. This is the real deal. This 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.080 is I don't know, we always get into this stuff. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.800 But it's happening tonight six twenty for a reasonable time. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.160 Six twenty four pm Eastern time. Yes, but you know what, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.280 the coverage begins. I don't know when any of you 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.560 all are listening to this, but we're taping this or 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.440 recording this pretty early. But coverage begins at seven forty 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.760 five am Eastern Time on NASA's YouTube channel. If you 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:37.080 want to watch them, load propellant onto, but just you're 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.360 literally watching the mission, the preps taking place again starting 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.720 at seven forty five this morning, but the full coverage 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:48.280 begins at twelve fifty pm Eastern Time. NASA plus Amazon 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.520 Prime and YouTube you can watch the full launch coverage. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.160 And I think, yeah, shortly after that when you start 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.000 to see the astronauts come out and make their final 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.520 goodbye as they walk towards these astrovaans. There are these 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.080 futuristic astravans that take them to the launch pad. But 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.640 you were mentioning trivia before the break. 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.000 Yes, because I didn't know the walking on the Moon, 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.679 of course, Neil Armstrong, all of our minds. But there 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.919 were several more Moon missions and other men walked on 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.680 the Moon. The last Moon. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:23.560 Mission was actually nineteen seventy two, Apollo seventeen. I didn't 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:23.800 know that. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:24.880 Yeah, I didn't either. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.880 I didn't know that nineteen seventy two was the last 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.639 time we were up there. Three astronauts went and wrote this. 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:36.760 If anybody asked who left the last footprint on the Moon, 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.119 his name was Eugene Kernan. He was the captain of 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:46.000 Apollo seventeen. Literally the last footprint human footprint on the 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.480 Moon was by that guy in December of nineteen seventy two. Wow, Eugene, 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:55.600 we have not been back in that long. That's just 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.720 awesome that we're doing this today. Now, how soon after 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.280 this one, this one's had this year, the next one? 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.040 There is it twenty twenty. 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:07.040 Twenty eight, yes, end of twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight, yes, so. 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.000 Soon, So that one's coming out the rogues, h there go. 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.399 Who knows how they're feeling, and imagine how they're feeling. 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.760 I'm not sure when they're getting up this morning, but 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.879 they are on a very specific and have been on 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.760 a very specific sleep schedule, so they have a whole 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.240 routine they're going through today. But you said they're seeing 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.040 family today. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.560 Well, when they walk outwards the Astrovans, their family will 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.840 be nearby, and they'll be able to wave and shout 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.680 out like I love you, and I think the pilot said, 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.679 instead of normally we would have to text or email 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:39.959 our loved ones, will actually be able to hear their 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.719 voices and will actually be able to tell our family 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.000 that we love see you know what, Roades. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:48.560 I don't remember that. I remember like media being there 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.000 as they're doing that walk, but I thought the families 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.240 did this thing we're talking about the night before, the 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:53.919 day before. 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.800 From what I am historical, Yes, from what I'm reading, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:01.320 it looks as though we'll see the families to say goodbye. 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.800 So I think they're actually maybe they're deliberately staging this 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.800 from a production standpoint, which is wonderful. See, yes, the 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.159 families having their last goodbyes, which is, oh my gosh, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.000 I cannot imagine. We know how we felt watching straight 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.920 Ah be waitless for ten seconds in space. I thought 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:24.560 I was going to hyperventilate. I cannot imagine a husband, wife, 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.400 a brother of any of it. Oh my gosh. 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:29.480 We won't even like Strahan that much. And we were 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.119 worried about them. But that you're Robes. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.040 You are one hundred percent correct that everything was fun 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.920 and games until we saw him in that flight suit 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.600 walking up those stairs and we said, holy hell. We 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.600 started robes. We were in communication, don't do it. We 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.640 were telling just please, don't do it. So and again, 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.800 he's a dear friend, this is family, this is your husband, 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.200
