1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: Hello friends, this is Josh with this week's select Our 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: June twenty sixteen episode on Space Stations. I like to 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: think of it as a far out look at living 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: in space. I hope you enjoy it thoroughly. 5 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio. 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark with 7 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: Charles W. Chuck Bryant, and Jerry. This is Stuff you 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: should Know. 9 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: Okay, you sounded like Steve Rule. We were just talking 10 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: about Steve Rule, and that was very Brulesque, brew Esque, 11 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: not burlesque. 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: All right, brewlesu brew Less. You're saying you should do 13 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: a movie. I'm surprised you have. 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: I could watch a continuous loop of brules Rules over 15 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: and over and over. Yeah, and people thought, you don't 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: be Dune was an homage to that, which. 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: Or omasure a ripoff, depending on who's well it was. 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 2: It was neither, but it it was reminiscent of it 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: in good ways. But I don't think that that meant 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: it ripped it off, or that you were paying tribute to. 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: It's definitely not intentional. It was just, you know, two 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: great sidental. 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: Two great things that go great together. 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: Sure, why can't there be both. 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 2: Like Reese's cups. 26 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, they go great with kit cats. 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: Oh man, they'd be good. Sure, just take two full 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: kit cats and put two Reese's cups in the middle 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: like a sandwich. 30 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: Uh huh. I think you just came up with something 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: the news more the rec cat chuckers. 32 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: Yes. 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: Have you ever looked to the sky at night, seen 34 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: some stars flying by and thought, why don't we live 35 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: up there? Uh? Sure? 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen the ISS cruising? 37 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: No? I used to. Apparently you can. I used, Yes, 38 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: I used to get either text or emails. I can't 39 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: remember that. Would you just put it in your zip 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: code and it sends you texts alerts when the ISS 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: is going to be flying overhead. 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say one of the 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 2: lead astronauts would just text you be like, Josh, lo up, 44 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: what are you doing? We're over your house right now. 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: But I mean, basically it's not from the astronaut, but 46 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: it's the same thing. It's saying, like, look up in 47 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: this direction at this time, and you'll you should be 48 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: able to see the ISS pretty neat. Yeah. I don't 49 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: think we actually ever went out and looked at it, 50 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: because it was always at like three in the morning 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: or something like that. 52 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, this really like thrills me to no end. Once 53 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: I started looking into this, like I never paid a 54 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: lot of attention, and it really just dawned on me, 55 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 2: Like people are living in outer space. 56 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Continuous full time. The International Space Station has been continuously 57 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: inhabited since it was launched in nineteen ninety eight. 58 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. In fact, they just took their one hundred thousandth 59 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: orbit of Earth. That's really neat in May of this year. 60 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: Expedition forty seven began in March. 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: That's so cool, man, And like we just it's like 62 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: you were saying, you don't really stop and think about it, 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: but we're living in space now. Yeah, humanity is extended 64 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: at least into Earth's orbit, right, that's where we're living. 65 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: And we just kind of seemed to take that for granted. 66 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: But that wasn't always the case as actually, And I 67 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: think the reason why we do kind of take it 68 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: for granted is because the conception of living in space 69 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: that we're at right now is remedial compared to where 70 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: everyone expected it to be in like the mid seventies. Yeah, 71 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: when the idea of space colonization was at its peak. Yeah, 72 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean NASA Ames Research Center was conducting summer studies 73 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: is what they were called, where they would just get 74 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: the public really jazzed about living in space. And the 75 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: best you can say, or the least you can say, 76 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: is that it bore some pretty awesome artists renderings what 77 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: space colonies will look like. 78 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it seemed like every other issue of Popular Science 79 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: was just some cool new picture of like, you know, 80 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: one day we're going to be living out. 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: Here, right exactly, but the one day seemed a lot 82 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: closer than it does now, right. 83 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 84 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: But at the most you can say that that space 85 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: calony fever that was going on in the seventies definitely 86 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: laid the groundwork paved the way for where we are now, 87 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: which is living in space. We just don't have like 88 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: Stanley Kubrick esque space hotels that are big rotating wheels 89 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: at the moment. Doesn't mean we're not going to, yeh. 90 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: It just didn't happen as fast as everybody thought it 91 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: was going to. And I was trying to figure out why, 92 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: and apparently it's because of the Shuttle program. Like this 93 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: space colony fever was based on the idea that launching 94 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: the Space Shuttle was going to be way cheaper than 95 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: launching any of the rockets had been previously. That didn't 96 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: pan out to be the case. Yeah, And that there 97 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: would be something like like it. 98 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: Was going to be like a space taxi. I remember 99 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: those words, sixty. 100 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: Like at least sixty launches a year, which didn't pan 101 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: out to be the case either. But they thought that, yeah, 102 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: it was just we're gonna be going back and forth 103 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: to space for like next to nothing all the time, 104 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: and that we would be colonizing space pretty quickly. That 105 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: didn't pan out. The Space Shuttle program didn't pan out 106 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: to be that as cheap or as frequent, and so 107 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: this dream of space colony or this enthusiasm for space 108 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: colonization was kind of lost. But luckily it wasn't lost 109 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: by the actual engineers who were in charge of putting 110 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: people in space and figuring out how to live in space. 111 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: And that whole idea is probably still coming. It's just 112 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: a little further down the road. 113 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 114 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: And there are many, many, many, hundreds and hundreds of 115 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: people that helped make this reality over the years, but 116 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: a lot of this can be laid at the feet 117 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: of mister Verna von Braun, who was the architect of 118 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: the US space program, and he was the big champion 119 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: of space stations early on, like in a real viable way. 120 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: Well, he was like the Carl Sagan of his day. 121 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: He realized that he had a quote he said that 122 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: we can publish scientific papers and treatises till hell freeze 123 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: is over, but if we don't get the attention of 124 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: the taxpayer, we're going We're not going anywhere. 125 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: And how do you do that? You start putting people 126 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: on the moon and start building space stations. 127 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Well, even more basic than that, he started he wrote 128 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: like popular articles and popular magazines to get the public's 129 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: imagination prime for that kind of thing. 130 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, And his idea was it was not just like hey, 131 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: look at a neat thing we can do. It's you know, 132 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: you have an Antarctic outpost. You have back in the 133 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: old days, he had an out west outpost. He was like, 134 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: we need an outpost. We need a place where people 135 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: can live and work and as their base station. 136 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: Essentially, sure, space is a frontier, but you watch a 137 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: star trek knows. 138 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: That the final frontier, right, Well, that's. 139 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: What we think, That's what we thought back then. I'm 140 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: sure there's other frontiers, new dimensions to explore. Sure, that 141 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: kind of thing. 142 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: Right, Well, let's just talk about why. What are some 143 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 2: of the reasons we should do this. You mentioned just 144 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: capturing the public, and it certainly would do a lot 145 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: to rally people around spending funds on you know, space travel, 146 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: NASA allocating funds towards this kind of. 147 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Thing, right, you mean space tourism. 148 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: No, no, no, not space tourism. But just initially, you know, 149 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: they needed the support of the popular American opinion. 150 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Right, which is why Von Brown said, I'm going to 151 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: like reach out to the public directly through Colliers magazine. 152 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: He did a three part he hosted a three part 153 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: show on like the Wonderful World of Disney about living 154 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: in space, and we really got people jazzed about this 155 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: back in the fifties. Yeah, then it peaked again in 156 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: the seventies, Like I was saying. 157 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, but one of the big reasons that you would 158 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: want to have a working space station is, aside from 159 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: the convenience of you know, having it up there and 160 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: not having to go back and forth every time you 161 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: want to do so, right, is things are different up 162 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: there and you can do different things without gravity. That 163 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: you can't do here on Earth, like research, Yeah, like 164 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 2: remarkable things. 165 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: So it turns out gravity has a weird effect on 166 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: crystals and the way they form flaws them like inevitably. 167 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: But if you're out there in microgravity, there are far 168 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: fewer flaws, and the crystals tend to form more perfectly. 169 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: So you can do things like make really good semiconductors, 170 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: right for microchips. Sure, you can also crystallize drugs better 171 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: to make them more potent. You can really knock your 172 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: socks off. 173 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: So research up there that can make things better here, 174 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: right a point. 175 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: Not just research, but figure out how to do it there, 176 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: and then build on that by building a manufacturing facility 177 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: for semiconductors out in space. Yeah, man, and then bring 178 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: them back to Earth and be like, watch how fast 179 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: this baby ghess. 180 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: Another thing that no gravity or micro gravity does is 181 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: it makes flames, you know, flames here on Earth with 182 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: our stupid gravity pulling it in every direction, makes a 183 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: flame very unsteady and unpredictable, makes studying combustion more difficult. 184 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: Remember when we talked about fire. 185 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, fire in space is very consistent and perfect. 186 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: It's around. Yeah, it's so cool. 187 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: So you could you could potentially with h with a 188 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 2: perfect flame like that, then perfect flame that's got to 189 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: be a song. 190 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: Eternal flame is what you're thinking of. 191 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: No, I'm saying perfect flaim Now you're thinking of eternal flame. 192 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 2: Such a josh ism. That's one of my favorites. Microgravity, though, 193 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: you can have that eternal flame that is perfect and round, 194 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 2: and you can study combustion in a more pure fashion, 195 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: and you could build a better furnace maybe or find 196 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: out how to reduce air pollution by making things more efficient. 197 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: Right, And this is just like two things that you 198 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: could do in space. 199 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: I'm sure there are a thousand things we could list, right. 200 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, some of the early 201 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: ideas for space stations were These were concepts that used 202 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: like moon mined minerals and materials and assembled in space 203 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: so that you didn't have to launch them from Earth. Yeah, 204 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: so this whole idea of like creating things in space 205 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: was even used to form the basis of these places 206 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: where we would actually live while we were doing this stuff. 207 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. 208 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. It also offers a unique perspective on the Earth. 209 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: If we're talking about landforms and oceans, your atmosphere, speaking 210 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: of which they can take much better pictures looking in 211 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: the other direction into deep space because they don't have 212 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: that pesky atmosphere in the way, right, So lots of 213 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: great reasons to be up there, not the least of 214 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 2: which is something you mentioned earlier, space tourism, which is 215 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 2: going to happen at some point, right, Like people are 216 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: looking into who is this one company? Galactic suite. Yeah, 217 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: they're still at it. 218 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: Well, none that I saw there really still says they're 219 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: planning on launching in twenty twelve. 220 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: Oh I thought that they. I thought they were still 221 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: kind of I mean obviously not on that timeline, right 222 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: unless they. 223 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: I mean, their site is still up, somebody's still paying 224 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: for the domain. That doesn't mean but it still says 225 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: like they're gonna be They're gonna head for the star 226 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: the stars in twenty twelve. And then I found another 227 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: Russian one that was looked pretty promising, but their site 228 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: apparently was not updated since twenty ten. But a company 229 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: called Bigelow Industries very recently had SpaceX Fairy capsule up 230 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: to the ISS. It was an inflatable capsule that was 231 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: a habitat module that was meant to be a prototype 232 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: for a space hotel, and they couldn't get it inflated. 233 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: It was in They just aborted the mission. But like 234 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: people are still working on the concept of space tourism 235 00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: like today. 236 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: Well, I know, the Galactic Suite said, They're like, we 237 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: think it'll cost four million dollars for a weekend stay, 238 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: and our data suggests that there are about forty thousand 239 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 2: people in the world that can and will pay for this. 240 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: So maybe their site hasn't been updated because they got 241 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: scared with the end of the World twenty twelve thing. 242 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: Maybe and while they were hiding in a cave somewhere, 243 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: somebody played a prank on them and they're still too 244 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: scared to come out and update the site. 245 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 2: Maybe Well Richard Branson, you know, he's trying to fly 246 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: people into space. Still. 247 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I looked at that. I was like, wait a minute, 248 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: does this Alaskan Airlines merger? Did that kill Virgin Galactic? 249 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: And apparently not, It was just Virgin America that Alaskan 250 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: Airlines took over, apparently in a hostile takeover, But Virgin 251 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: Galactic's still at it. 252 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 2: Okay, Well that's good. I guess if you're loaded and 253 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: want to ride in the space. 254 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're Ashton Coucher or Jada Perry. 255 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: They were on the list, right, Sure they have disposable income. Sure, 256 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: and the couch up there, the coach either one. I 257 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 2: feel like I should take a break and regroup and 258 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: then we'll start talking about Space Station's past. 259 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 3: I'll take one with you, all right, let's. 260 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: Talk about the first one, Josh. We had a great 261 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 2: episode on the space race. It was pretty much a 262 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: two love that one, a two nation race between the 263 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: US and the Soviet Union, And they beat us in 264 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 2: a lot of ways as far as first to the 265 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: punch Man. 266 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: They really did. You know, they don't get enough credit 267 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: around these parts for the stuff that they did as 268 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: far as space goes, because they definitely did beat us 269 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. Sure, like we beat them 270 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: to the moon basically. 271 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, which we pointed out, and our show really got 272 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: us going, sure and led to our advancements. 273 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. But also what was it There was another show 274 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: we did recently, Sputnik led to super Balls. But do 275 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: you remember we were talking about the super Bowl? In 276 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl episode, how Sputnik like made America, post 277 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: war America wake up and be like Hey, stop being 278 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: coddled and lazy. 279 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to get back to innovation. 280 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, innovating again. And it was Sputnik that did that. Yeah, 281 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: that's right. 282 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: Nothing like the threat of Communist Russia or Soviet Union 283 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: to get people going. 284 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: We're being left behind. 285 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: So back then they were the Soviet Union, and they 286 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: were the first, as we said with the Saliot one 287 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: station nineteen seventy one. Dude, they had people living in space. Yeah, 288 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: the year I was born. It's crazy, yep. And it 289 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: was actually a combination of a couple of a different 290 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: system won the Almas and the Soyas. The Almas was 291 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: a military system and the Soyas was the actual spacecraft 292 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: that varied people to and fro. 293 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: They're still using that things. How American astronauts to get 294 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: to the iss is on Soyu's rockets? 295 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: Oh really? 296 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 297 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: What number they had? 298 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: I wonder? Oh who knows? Yeah, who knows? A lot? 299 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: They launched them a lot from the Kazakhstan. 300 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: I think, Oh really, h huh, very nice. 301 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: So yet one on. 302 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: Forty ft long had three main compartments, your standard compartments, 303 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: which are like dining in recreation, food and water storage. 304 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: You gotta have your toilet exercise equipment, and then your 305 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: sciencey stuff. 306 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's science the stuff. That's a big deal, sure, 307 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: because not only are they looking at how to make 308 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: crystals better, they're also studying the effects of microgravity on 309 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: the human body, which we're still getting a handle lot. 310 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, we should do an entire episode on how space 311 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: affects your body. Okay, I think that would be like, 312 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: I think I got three or four episode ideas out 313 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: of this one article. 314 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we should do one just on the ISS too, 315 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: I think so. But well, just kind of briefly, one 316 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: of the things that they've found so far about living 317 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: in space is that your bone mineral density decreases by 318 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: one percent a month, which are like one percent, there's 319 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: still ninety nine percent left, who cares. Yeah, right here 320 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: on Earth, if you were in a senior adult, you 321 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: lose about one percent of bone mass a year. 322 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: Whoa. 323 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: So that's pretty significant. And another thing that they found 324 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: out was that the living in microgravity, when you're here 325 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: on Earth, your fluids and blood and stuff tend to 326 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: accumulate in your lower extremities. Right in microgravity, it tends 327 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: to accumulate up in your upper body and your upper 328 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: chest and in your head and your brain's like, ohh, 329 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm bathed in this stuff. I need to shut down 330 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: production on fluids, including blood, so that when astronauts get 331 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: back on Earth, they tend to be fainty oh wow, 332 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: because they don't have enough blood for a while until 333 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: their body's like, WHOA, something weird just happened. I need 334 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: to start making blood. 335 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 2: And they say, I'm fainty because of space. 336 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: Somebody give me some tang. My blood sugar is low. 337 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: The other thing they found out was that in space, 338 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: no one can hear you scream. 339 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, they try it, fifteen after every hour. All the 340 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: astronauts scream as loud as they can and nobody can 341 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: hear them. 342 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 2: And that, of course, was a famous tagline from the 343 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: first Alien movie. Oh really, Yeah, I remember seeing the 344 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 2: ad with the big egg in space, no one can 345 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: hear you scream. 346 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: I know. 347 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: I was just thought, that's terrifying. 348 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it. Yep. Oh. One other thing that 349 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: they're learning about effects and gravity. So Scott Kelly, the 350 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: astronaut who famously just spent a year on the ISS. Yeah, 351 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: he has a twin who's also an astronaut. 352 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: Oh, wow, I leave. 353 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: His name is Mike, and Mike has been studied here 354 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: on Earth. 355 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say, you got to split 356 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: those guys. 357 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: Up over the same over the same year that Scott has, 358 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: and now they're comparing him. Apparently Scott came down and 359 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: he was like an inch or two shorter than his 360 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: identical twin that way. That was just one thing, but 361 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: they're they're examining them on a genetic level to see 362 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: what differences have happened, so you can get a better 363 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: handle on what living in gravity does to the human body. 364 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: So he said, them shorter and more fainty for starters. 365 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: He just fell dead away and they just slapped his 366 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: face and poured tang down his throat. 367 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: Well, I think what's lost on a lot of people 368 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: is that these are real. I mean, human experimentation is 369 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: going on, and who knows what the long term effect 370 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: is going to be. These people are really like sacrificing potentially, 371 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: you know right, I mean not just being away from 372 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: family and stuff, but who knows, faint he might turn 373 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: into something really bad. 374 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: Well, not only that, they're also exposed to solar radiation 375 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: and just space radiation that the Earth's atmosphere protects us 376 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: from they're exposed to it, and apparently there's a huge 377 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: possibility their lifetime risk of cancer just goes through the 378 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: roof from moving out there. So yeah, there's a lot 379 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: of questions we have that it's good that we're not 380 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: all just living out in space because we can. We 381 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff to figure out beforehand. 382 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 2: Heroes, sir, is what I say. So the Soya's ten 383 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: crew for that very first Saliot space station that Russia had, 384 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 2: they were supposed to live up there, but they couldn't 385 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: dock correctly, so they could never enter the space station, 386 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 2: so they never could even get in. Big disappointment. 387 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: Yea, they just went. They just hung their heads and 388 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: put in reverse in the little module went. 389 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 2: P yep, that's Earth. So the Soya's eleven crew actually 390 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: successfully lived there for twenty four days in nineteen seventy one, 391 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 2: which is remarkable, but very sadly they all perished upon 392 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: re entry coming back to Earth. 393 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. They're capsule depressurized and their capsule at the time 394 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: was designed for them to wear suits, so they were 395 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: all asphyxiated. 396 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, just like died instantly, right pretty much. 397 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, they would have like lost consciousness almost immediately. 398 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 2: So after the eleven, Soy's eleven, they launched a different 399 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 2: space station altogether, the Solio two. That one didn't even 400 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: get up into orbit, so they were like, ah Yit 401 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: went through three, four, and five in pretty quick succession, 402 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 2: and each one basically they got better at getting people 403 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: to and from and they could stay up there longer 404 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 2: and longer. 405 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 406 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: I think the last one was launched in nineteen eighty 407 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: two and it was up there until like nineteen ninety 408 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: two or nineteen ninety four, and they actually used it 409 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: as like when they launched the Mirror, which we'll talk 410 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: about and I think nineteen ninety six, so I guess 411 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: it was up there then they were going back and 412 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: forth between sali At seven and the Mirror. Yeah, I 413 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: guess probably going like, oh we can we can use 414 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: this vodka over here. You got to go get it 415 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: from Solute and take it over to the Mirror. So 416 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: it was up there for a while. They got there, 417 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: they figured it out, and one of the big differences 418 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: between the early Solutes, Chuck and the later ones was 419 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: that there was a docking a secondary docking module. 420 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. The first one's only had one parking space essentially, right. 421 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: And so you had the parking space for the crew 422 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: that was there, and if they needed supplies, well ts 423 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: for them nowhere to park. But if you had a 424 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: second docking port, then you can use well, they used 425 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: an unmanned ship called Progress to ferry supplies from Earth 426 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: to the solute stations. 427 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised that it took them up to the 428 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 2: Salute six to realize they needed another parking space, because 429 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: you know. 430 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: You're gonna forget something, right, you left the iron on 431 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: back home. 432 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 2: We're stuck up here. No one can visit us exact well, 433 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 2: like you said, though, they figured it out, which is wonderful, 434 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: and that all led to the United States in nineteen 435 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: seventy three lunching their very famous Skylab one space station. 436 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: Which is the best patch of any NASA related, any 437 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: space based anything. Skylab one is the best. 438 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Skylab was awesome, but it got off on a 439 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: very bad start, on a bad foot because upon launch, 440 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 2: like just getting it out there, it had these two 441 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: main solar panels. One of them was completely ripped off, 442 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: the other one didn't extend out like it should have, 443 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: and so this thing almost burned up completely initially because 444 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 2: it had very little power and they couldn't control the heat, right, 445 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 2: it couldn't cool it. 446 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: The interior of the capsule went up to like one 447 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six. Yeah, so they said, hey, guys, 448 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: that's hot. We needed to go up there and fix this. 449 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: And they actually there were three different crews that were 450 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: sent to Skylab on Apollo capsules. Yeah, and the Skylab 451 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: module itself was actually designed roughly initially by Warner von 452 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: Braun out of a Saturn five moon rocket. 453 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 454 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: The third stage of it became Skylab, and I think 455 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: at the Air and Space Museum in Washington, not the 456 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: one at Dullest, but the one that's in like the 457 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: like around the mall. 458 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 459 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: I think it has a replica of Skylight you can 460 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: walk through. 461 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: Oh cool, which is so awesome, dude, I would love 462 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 2: to do that. 463 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: But so the three crews that got sent up there, chuck. 464 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: They managed to kind of like put Skylight back together 465 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: with duct tape and bubble gum. 466 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that first one, Skylab two, they just sent them 467 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 2: up a week and a half after the fail well 468 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: not fail lunch, but problematic launch. And it's so funny 469 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 2: how some of this NASA stuff is so simple. They said, 470 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 2: go up there and essentially take this big sunshade like 471 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: it looks like an umbrella and pop it open right 472 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: to cool it down. And then see that solar panel 473 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: that didn't stretch out far enough, stretch it out. 474 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: See that stretch it out. 475 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 2: And they did. Commander Charles Pete, Conrad Paul White's and 476 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: Joseph Kerwin essentially saved Skylab. 477 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, right off the bat. And not just them. There 478 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: were again, there were three crews that kind of did 479 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: one after the other. Oh yeah, they didn't overlap, but 480 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: they finally got the thing working. And I think the 481 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: last crew spent eighty four days in orbit. 482 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, the first one spent twenty eight, the next one 483 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: fifty nine. In the final one eighty four days in 484 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: the seventies, and I remember, and this is a big deal, 485 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: you know, this is the first time they were testing 486 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: these long duration man missions to see, like, you know, 487 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 2: can we go to the Moon because it takes a 488 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: while to get there and back right. 489 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: That was the thing. Like, the only data we had 490 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: was on Moon missions, which is about a two week mission. Yeah, 491 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: so we didn't have any data on what happened to 492 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: people longer than. 493 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 2: That, Yeah, can we can we set up shop there, 494 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: colonize the moon. 495 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: Even so, they called anything over two weeks a long 496 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: duration spaceflight. 497 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: And I remember in nineteen seventy nine, I remember being 498 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: a little eight year old kid, and I remember hearing 499 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: about because this is you know, in the seventies when 500 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: families would sit around and watch the news and it's 501 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: like how you got all your information? Yeah, And I 502 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: remember sitting around and hearing that Skylab is coming back 503 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: down to Earth in an unpredictable way, and I remember 504 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: being sort of scared and thinking like, wow, this is 505 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 2: a little weird and kind of a big deal. Yeah, 506 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 2: Like even a little eight year old Chuck knew like 507 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: something didn't seem quite right. 508 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who were really anxious 509 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: about it, because NASA very famously said that everybody calmed down, 510 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: there's there's a one in one hundred and fifty two 511 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: chance that somebody will be killed by Skylab. 512 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they think like one in one fifty two. 513 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: You want to hear numbers from NASA like one in 514 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: a million or one in a billion, one in one 515 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two. 516 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, I know, two hundred people. I know 517 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty three people. It also forced NASA 518 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,239 Speaker 2: to admit, we were so excited about getting this thing 519 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 2: up there, we didn't really think a lot about how 520 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 2: to control its descent, because that was essentially the story. 521 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 2: They were like, we can't we don't really know how 522 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: to guide this thing back down. 523 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: They said it would quote cost too much to have 524 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: designed in a way to bring it down safely. 525 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they were they were in a hurry. 526 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: Well. Also, the problem is is they thought that it 527 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: would just its orbit would decay a little bit and 528 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: then fall into basically that orbit of space chunk circling 529 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: the Earth and would just stay there indefinitely. But it's 530 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: orbit decayed more than expected because there was solar flare 531 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: activity that NASA hadn't anticipated, and so all of a sudden, 532 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: Skylab's on a collision course with Earth. NASA saying it'll 533 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: it'll probably enter somewhere over this thousand kilometer stretch of Earth. Yea, 534 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: it includes Australia, So heads up Australia, right, And there 535 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: were lots of like Skylab parties. 536 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's America. In the seventies, people went like 537 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: Skylab crazy disco parties. 538 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The San Francisco Examiner actually offered ten thousand 539 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: dollars to anybody who could bring in a legitimate piece 540 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: of sky Lab within seventy two hours of it crashing. Yeah, 541 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: and some kid actually collected. 542 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 2: Yeah in Australian. Yeah, he got on a plane. He 543 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 2: had a little piece of sky Lab because where'd end 544 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 2: up crashing. 545 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: And the espernce Australia when you're. 546 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: Perth, Yeah, I mean mostly in the ocean. Yeah, but 547 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: they did get a pretty good amount of debris in Australia. 548 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, like the sizeable parts. 549 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: But it's Australia. They're tough. They're like everything tries to 550 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: kill us. Yeah, your silly space station can't do it. 551 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: Right. 552 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, this kid flew over in San Francisco and 553 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 2: said here, pay up, here's a piece of sky Lab. 554 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. His name was Stan Thornton. He was seventeen, and like, 555 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: without even thinking twice about it, he grabbed it, hopped 556 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: on a plane and went to San Francisco, like you said, 557 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: and the Examiner paid him, Yeah, which I did. The 558 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 1: West Egg inflation calculator, Oh that's about thirty three thousand 559 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: dollars in today's money. Not bad, No, I hop on 560 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: a plane for that. 561 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: That's a salary of a first year teacher, right badly. Yeah, 562 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: you can also buy pieces of sky Lab today if 563 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 2: you've got some dough and an Internet connection. 564 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: Alleged pieces of sky Lab. 565 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: Well, sure, just like anything, it should be not verified. 566 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: What do you call it? Verified? Authenticated? 567 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, authentic. 568 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: Supposedly NASA's instead of exerting its domain over pieces of Skylab, 569 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: the debris that was found in saying you give a 570 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: back that some people sent their pieces to NASA, NASA 571 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: authenticated them and sent them back mounted saying this is 572 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: an official piece of Skylab. Are the people who mailed 573 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: it in? Good peeps, not bad? Good peeps wearing brown 574 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: polyester pants up to their chests. 575 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 2: All right, buddy, let's take a break and let's go 576 00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 2: for a little jog around our gravity office. Okay, then 577 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 2: we'll talk about mirror and iss. All right, all right. 578 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: We talked about the Soliet, which was the Soviet Union's 579 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 2: big first success and some failures, but overall I think 580 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: they saw it as a success. 581 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: Right And at the same time, a couple of years later, 582 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: America had SKYLAMB and then the Soviets said, we can 583 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: do better than what we're doing. We can do better 584 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: than anybody else. We're going to create the mirror. 585 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. And by the way, skylight was not supposed to 586 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: be permanent. No, that was never the intention, but mirror was. 587 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: Was it supposed to be permanent mirror? 588 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? 589 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: Okay, so were the later Soliots. Okay, so the mirror 590 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: definitely was meant to be a permanent one. 591 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 2: All right. Well, the first crew cosmonauts Leonid Kazimr, solely 592 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: off Solo y Off nice, it's a great name. I 593 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: think it was just those two dudes. They shuttled between 594 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 2: the Saliot seven, which is being retired, and Mirror, and 595 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 2: there was some like you said, there was some crossover there, right, 596 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 2: an overlap. 597 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: They had to get the vodka. 598 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, they had to get the vodka right. And they 599 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: spent seventy five days on the mirror, and it was 600 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: continually manned over the next ten years. And you know, 601 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: manned and built. It's not they build these things out 602 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 2: there or assemble them out there, I guess we should say. 603 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: But they don't just launch a space station. 604 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: Were right, like the ready to go. 605 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 2: They carry pieces of it out there. Right, just like 606 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: iss and they put them together. 607 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: Although I think, as we'll see later on, I think 608 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: the Chinese launched a full space station. 609 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, of course they did. 610 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: I think they did, but we're talking twenty thirteen. Come on. 611 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: So the Mirror had twelve twelve main parts, which we 612 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 2: won't go over all those because we don't like to 613 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: just read lists. But you know, it's something you would expect. 614 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: It was a g whiz space station. Yeah, a lot 615 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: of everything. 616 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: You need stuff, a lot of modules, living quarters, transfer compartments, 617 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: docking places. They had more than one parking space. They 618 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 2: figured that old mess out. Yeah, you know, it's like, 619 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 2: you know, we should have guests. 620 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: And they did have guests. They had American guests. Actually, 621 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: they sure did, which was pretty cool. It wasn't until 622 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: the nineties after the Soviet Union dissolved, and actually there 623 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: was a cosmonaut a board Mirror when the Soviet Union 624 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: dissolved on December twenty sixth, nineteen ninety one. His name 625 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: was Sergei Kirkvkev kir Ko keV. It's harder to say 626 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: than you would think. Yeah, And he was known as 627 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: the last Soviet citizen because apparently being in space made 628 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: him immune from the dissolving of the Soviet Union. 629 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, not really. 630 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: But that's what everybody said about him, whether he liked 631 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: it or not. 632 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: Well, the Mirror had some problems kind of later in 633 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 2: its life. There was a fire one year and then 634 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 2: the supply ship was called the Progress I think you 635 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: mentioned it actually crashed into the Mirror trying to park 636 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 2: and it's a little parking space, which damaged it. And 637 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 2: at that point they said, you know what, we should 638 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 2: just make this thing space junk, even though you thought 639 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 2: it was going to be permanent. The US is talking 640 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 2: about this iss station they want us to come help 641 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: them with and that was a big campaign to keep 642 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: the Mirror alive called Keep Mirror Alive, and private corporation 643 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: stepped in said no, let us take it over. Let's 644 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 2: privatize this thing. And they said, niett not going to 645 00:32:59,120 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: do it. 646 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not gonna just hand over a space station. 647 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 2: Okay, No, we're going to crash it into the Earth. 648 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: Right If I can't have you, no one can't. 649 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 2: Pretty much, so they had a little bit more advanced 650 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: capabilities in Skylab had as far as directionally and in February 651 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: two thousand and one. They slowed those endinges down and 652 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 2: it re entered the atmosphere on March twenty third, two 653 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 2: thousand and one, burned up, broke up, and again tried 654 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 2: to kill Australia. 655 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: I know Australia is like what the age? 656 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 2: I know, why is everyone trying to land their space 657 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 2: junk on us? But it was about on AE, thousand miles 658 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 2: east of Australia in the ocean. Has anyone found these things? 659 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 2: That's what I was wondering. 660 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: Mirror is near at the bottom of the ocean. I'm 661 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: sure somebody's found some parts of it. 662 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 2: Pretty neat. Yeah, talk about like space wreckage at the 663 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: bottom of the ocean. That's a movie. 664 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,719 Speaker 1: Who was it? Was it Jeff Bezos that went and 665 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: got like one of the Apollo really stages that had 666 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: been scull than the ocean recently? Probably? I think I 667 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: was Jeff Bezos. 668 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 2: Or James Cameron. We talked about him too much though, hm. 669 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 2: So that brings us to iss nineteen eighty four, Ronald 670 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 2: Reagan said, you know what, I was about to do 671 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 2: a Reagan, but I thought the better. 672 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: I think everybody wants to hear your Reagan. 673 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 2: No, I don't want to do it, he said, let's 674 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: he said, hey, man, let's get an. 675 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: ISS station going dead on Reagan. Is that good? 676 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll call it the International Space Station. And it's 677 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 2: going to be super expensive, so we need some help. 678 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 2: Let's partner up with fourteen other countries, Canada, Japan, Brazil, 679 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 2: and then the European Space Agency, which is the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, 680 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 2: Netherlands and Mark, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden. And he said, 681 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 2: as a good faith measure, let's invite the Soviets. I 682 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 2: don't know if that was all. 683 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: Well, no, it was Russia by then. 684 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're right, Yeah, you're right. 685 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: And the Russian said, sure, why not. Weren't doing anything. 686 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 2: And not just being friendly, but you know they they 687 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 2: were probably the second leading well I don't know by 688 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 2: that point there were other players. 689 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: Well in space science. 690 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they were still pretty highly regarded. 691 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: Sure yeah, big time. Yeah, yeah, probably more than they 692 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: get credit for again over here, agreed. So they started 693 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: putting the ISS in orbit in nineteen ninety eight, and 694 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: the first people showed up from it was launched for 695 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: They were launched from Russia. Yeah, in two thousand and 696 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: they spent about five months there like basically getting everything 697 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: up and running man taking all of the little desecant 698 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: packets out of everything, like they do not eat things 699 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: that keep stuff dry. 700 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 2: What is that silica jel? 701 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and pulling off all of the cellophane from everything. 702 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: Uh huh, Well they left it on the lampshades, which 703 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: I thought was tasteless. 704 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 2: Oh well, it's shiny. 705 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 706 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 2: So they've been living up there. Like I said, they 707 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 2: just launched the one hundred thousandth I'm sorry, the forty seventh, 708 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: but one hundred thousandth orbit of Earth, and we'll do 709 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 2: one on the iside. 710 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: I really think we should. 711 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 2: But I did look a little bit into their day 712 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 2: to day life. They work about ten hours a day 713 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 2: Monday through Friday, about half that on a Saturday, and 714 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 2: then they take Sunday off and then the rest of 715 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 2: the time is you know, relaxation, emailing your family, hanging 716 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 2: out pool side, facetiming. They have sixteen sunrises and sunsets 717 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 2: a day, which is decidedly weird on your body, so 718 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 2: they generally just keep those windows closed so they can 719 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 2: get on a rag skeedu and apparently the food isn't great. 720 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 2: They don't love the food, no, and they have to 721 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 2: overspice it. I didn't know this. One of the things 722 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 2: space does is reduce your sense of taste. I've heard 723 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 2: that in microgravity. I think it makes everything tastes like Yeah, 724 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 2: so apparently they like really overspice everything to try and 725 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 2: make it palatable. And they have to be really careful 726 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 2: of crumbs because oh yeah, remember Homer Simpson. 727 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 3: Do you remember one of the great. 728 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 2: All time scenes when he opened the bag of chips 729 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 2: in space? Great great scene and then pooping and peepe. 730 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: Gotta go somewhere. 731 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 2: They have two toilets, only two, and oh. 732 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: There's usually only three or four people up there. 733 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,399 Speaker 2: Well there's six right now? 734 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: Oh six? Yeah, with two toilets. Yeah, how many hair dryers? 735 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 2: Who knows? They keep their hair short though, because. 736 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: Because there's very few hair dryers in space. 737 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 2: Well, there's no showers. 738 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: M hmm. 739 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 2: I mean they can wash themselves. They have like water jets, but. 740 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: Not the same Yeah, not the same, man. I'll bet 741 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: that first shower when they get back down to Earth 742 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: feels so good. 743 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. But there's two toilets. They use a fan driven 744 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 2: suction system and you have to latch yourself to the toilet. 745 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've heard that too, And there are restraining 746 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 2: bars to ensure there's a good seal, because you know 747 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 2: what happens if there's not a good seal and microgravity, 748 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 2: things will float away. And then there's a lever that 749 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 2: they hit, a suction hole slides open and a big 750 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 2: stream of air carries a waste away. The solids are 751 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 2: collected actually into an aluminum container, and the they are 752 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: then transferred to the progress to take away the little 753 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 2: shuttle ship like, here's all our poop. 754 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, Progress is like thanks, yeah. 755 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 2: I wonder what they call it progress? And then the 756 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 2: peepee is evacuated by a hose that's attached to the 757 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 2: front of the toilet. 758 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: Do they drink it? 759 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 2: They do? I was getting there, but sure, I'm sorry. 760 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 2: Now it's recycled. It's a recovery system and they eventually 761 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 2: recycle it back into drinking water. 762 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 1: Tastes like chicken and. 763 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 2: The toilets for PEP are an comically correct. They have 764 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 2: these funnel adapters, So men and women have different adapters 765 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 2: because you know, they have different parts. 766 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,720 Speaker 1: Yes they do. They do have different parts. 767 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 2: That like a second grader I just you don't think 768 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 2: about this stuff. Like. That's the first thing I thought. 769 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, man, how they eat, how they poop? 770 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 2: Do they watch movies? 771 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: Do they watch movies? 772 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: Yeah? That the they just sit back. I think it 773 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 2: was the Atlantic had a great photo spread of photos 774 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 2: that this new mission is taking of space and the 775 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 2: Earth and you know all that stuff. But then pictures 776 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 2: on board, and one of them they were had this 777 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 2: huge flat screen watching the. 778 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: Revenant, watching the Revenue. 779 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 2: Huh yeah, wow, that's what it looked like. 780 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: I could see these. 781 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 2: Two guys on a horse. It was hard to tell 782 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 2: because it was in the background, but I think it 783 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,280 Speaker 2: was a Revenant. 784 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: That are cloudy with the chance of meatball. 785 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 2: Probably not the movie gravity. 786 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, I know they were probably like it could 787 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: never happen. Remember when Nils deGrasse Tyson lost his mind 788 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: about gravity, he went on a Twitter ran about it. Yeah, 789 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: then then we should talk about the Chinese, because I 790 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: think it's been unfair not to. The Chinese launched something 791 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: called Tiangong one back in two thousand and three. They 792 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: became the third nation on the planet to launch a 793 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: human into space, and they launched their space their space 794 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: station in twenty eleven, and there's been two missions to 795 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: the space station. I think it's no longer active, but 796 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: it's still up there, but the Chinese admitted this year 797 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: that they've lost contact with the space station. It's no 798 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: longer under their control. So it may end up coming 799 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: back down to Earth and we'll have a new Skylab 800 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: party for it. But the two missions included China's first 801 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,919 Speaker 1: two women asked intronauts, Lou Yang and Wang Yaping, and 802 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: they were in twenty twelve, in twenty thirteen, and they 803 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: did I mean, they lived in space for a while, 804 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: just like yeah, everybody else had. But the Chinese don't 805 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: participate in the ISS. I don't know if they've not 806 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 1: been invited or if they decline an invitation, but they're 807 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,760 Speaker 1: doing their own parallel thing, which I get the impression 808 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: that's making people nervous. 809 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 2: Interesting. Well, I know it's important that they've had women astronauts, 810 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 2: female astronauts on the ISS, because you know, you need 811 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 2: to see what space does to them. And I just 812 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,879 Speaker 2: wonder if they're going to like get to the point 813 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 2: where they're like, well we need to if we really 814 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 2: want to call an I space, we need to see 815 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 2: what happens when a baby is up there, or give 816 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 2: birth in outer space, or have a ten year old 817 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 2: or a seventy five year old. 818 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: And a ten year old aboard a space station for 819 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: a year. 820 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh man, no, thank you. 821 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: There's one other thing I wanted to mention. There's talk 822 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: about saving a lot a lot of money with a 823 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: space station by putting it what's called the lagrange point. 824 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: And there's lagrange point L four and L five, and 825 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 1: they are the little these spots between the Earth and 826 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 1: the Moon to where the gravity between the Earth and 827 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: the Moon is counterbalanced. So all it does is just 828 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: go in orbit around the Earth and the Moon and 829 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: it will stay in that orbit forever because gravity's not 830 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: pulling on it one way or the other, so you 831 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 1: don't have to use fuel to keep it in that 832 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: orbit forever. Right. And this is actually like an early 833 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: idea that I think Arthur C. Clark was the first 834 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: to put it out there in nineteen sixty one.
