1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation. Let's get talking about some space

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: junk that's been found in the New South Wales Sooley

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Mountains paddocks. One piece of the junk was so the

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: farmers are finding this huge chunks of stuff in their fields.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: One piece of junk was embedded deep in the ground

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: was estimated to be about three meters long. You know,

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: these are massive pieces of junk. A third piece of

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: debris was discovered and photographed near Moomber. Have a look

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: at the picture. It's massive, looks like a car that's

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: wedged into the ground.

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: But imagine if that fell on top of What if it.

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Fell on a plane, What if it fell on a baby?

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: What a fell on me?

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: One?

15
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: If I'm just walking down the street and falls on me.

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: Only you could turn a story about space junk into

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: a story about you, but you would get into memoriam

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: at the logis, which is what you were doing spade

19
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: work for.

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: I was just saying.

21
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: There's some speculation here that it's SpaceX, that this junk

22
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: has come from Elon Musk and the community. The area

23
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: commander superintendent is said that they are working with authorities

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: to confirm ownership and that they will be if any

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: farmers find it, to report it to them and they

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: will take care of it and sort it out. So

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: it's got The Australian Space Agency and New South Wales

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Police are all involved in all.

29
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: Can I ask you this question, why does space junk

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: always fall in uninhabited areas?

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: Why doesn't it fall in any of our cities?

32
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: I guess just by nature of how big Austrailia is,

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: or how the world is more pastoral or just more

34
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: land than there are cities.

35
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: Okay, why doesn't it fall in Japan?

36
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't populate, Maybe it does. We haven't read

37
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: it in our news, you know. So this is Elon Musk, who,

38
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: as we know, has eight babies to a variety of

39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: different women. So I say this to Elon Musk, this

40
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: is what I say. Keep your own junk in your

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: pants and keep your space junk in your own backyard.

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: I don't want your junk on my head.

43
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't want your junk anywhere near me.

44
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Would but it's no Skylab.

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: Remember Skylab sky Remember in nineteen seventy nine Skylab. And

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,360

Speaker 3: was I remember the time there were like speculation where

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: Skylab was going to fall.

51
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Well, lots of people were putting bets on it. There's

52
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: giants and like giant fear about Skylab. Where would it land?

53
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,799

54
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:31,359
