Speaker 1: in space, we bloody did it. We did it well.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it. I saw it. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me just read this headline. So yesterday.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're aware of this, but Australia
Speaker 2: was trying to launch a rocket into space. Headline here
Speaker 2: from today's Financial Review. It's the newspaper I always read
Speaker 2: before the show. Australia's attempt at entering space last less
Speaker 2: than thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not.
Speaker 2: And now I'm looking at the Guardian headline here. All
Speaker 2: the wars were the cloud and that was it.
Speaker 3: Like a burnout in the sky.
Speaker 4: Yes, reasons in space to Eski and beyond. Here's the
Speaker 4: news report of this from yesterday.
Speaker 5: The first Australian made rocket to launch on home soil
Speaker 5: has crashed and burned just seconds after lift off. But
Speaker 5: Despine the spectacular explosion. The Queensland company in charge says
Speaker 5: it will be back for another attempt.
Speaker 1: Queensland it really is bogus.
Speaker 3: And you don't think necessarily like cutting edge.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't think that.
Speaker 2: You know, you don't think you've got the billionaire boys,
Speaker 2: haven't you will? You've got like bezos and musk Queensland.
Speaker 2: It's not the Silicon Valley of Australia, is it. No,
Speaker 2: Just respect Queensland. But you know, so, did you see it?
Speaker 2: Sort of there was like a lot of smoke. Then
Speaker 2: it's sort the sort of fell over.
Speaker 1: It barely got off the launching pad. Well, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the new support here.
Speaker 2: The key line that I've highlighted is it flew for
Speaker 2: fourteen seconds before losing thrust. Yeah, that's how it's's wedding
Speaker 2: night telling me that story when we first meat have it?
Speaker 2: Have it into this from some nerd that was filming
Speaker 2: a bill Now it is id Also Lockie, who is
Speaker 2: a very talented sound architect on the show. He's into
Speaker 2: anything thrusty f one and rockets.
Speaker 1: He knows who this nerd is.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: You know Lockie was off last week sick. I reckon
Speaker 1: it was him up there, loves to have more flight time.
Speaker 2: Sorry, this is a guy from the actual company. Listen
Speaker 2: to this guy trying to get in front of this story,
Speaker 2: actually trying to own it as No, this is great, No,
Speaker 2: this is what meant to happen.
Speaker 1: This is the best thing.
Speaker 5: I would have loved to have more flight time, but
Speaker 5: I think fourteen seconds is something I'm willing to be
Speaker 5: very happy with for the first attempt.
Speaker 2: Well, thank god Neil Armstrong and his mates weren't didn't
Speaker 2: have that expirit about.
Speaker 1: Them at fourteen seconds. It's great. We can build on this.
Speaker 1: He also said there's a quote here.
Speaker 5: They asked him why it was so like such a failure,
Speaker 5: and he said, space is hard.
Speaker 3: It's hovering, it's hovering, it's hovering.
Speaker 2: This is some nerdy filmed at all. There was no
Speaker 2: other nerds filming or just this one guy. Apparently the
Speaker 2: video he gets so excited he knocks his own tripod over,
Speaker 2: so he lost a lot of space.
Speaker 3: It's hovering, it's hovering, it's hovering. It's gone. It's gone.
Speaker 3: Ah No.
Speaker 1: If I had to sum up in just one phrase,
Speaker 1: the d season.
Speaker 3: Ah no, ah no. Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast
