<v Speaker 3>Got anything good?

0:00:19.685 --> 0:00:29.245
<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. So Australians

0:00:29.525 --> 0:00:33.245
<v Speaker 1>in space, we bloody did it. We did it well.

0:00:33.965 --> 0:00:36.284
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you saw it. I saw it. Okay,

0:00:36.405 --> 0:00:39.085
<v Speaker 1>let me just read this headline. So yesterday.

0:00:39.125 --> 0:00:40.885
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're aware of this, but Australia

0:00:40.964 --> 0:00:45.685
<v Speaker 2>was trying to launch a rocket into space. Headline here

0:00:45.725 --> 0:00:49.084
<v Speaker 2>from today's Financial Review. It's the newspaper I always read

0:00:49.125 --> 0:00:54.725
<v Speaker 2>before the show. Australia's attempt at entering space last less

0:00:54.765 --> 0:00:56.045
<v Speaker 2>than thirty seconds.

0:00:56.165 --> 0:00:57.725
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's not.

0:00:57.805 --> 0:01:00.525
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm looking at the Guardian headline here. All

0:01:00.565 --> 0:01:02.965
<v Speaker 2>the wars were the cloud and that was it.

0:01:04.965 --> 0:01:06.085
<v Speaker 3>Like a burnout in the sky.

0:01:06.285 --> 0:01:16.485
<v Speaker 4>Yes, reasons in space to Eski and beyond. Here's the

0:01:16.525 --> 0:01:17.885
<v Speaker 4>news report of this from yesterday.

0:01:17.965 --> 0:01:20.965
<v Speaker 5>The first Australian made rocket to launch on home soil

0:01:21.085 --> 0:01:24.285
<v Speaker 5>has crashed and burned just seconds after lift off. But

0:01:24.365 --> 0:01:28.165
<v Speaker 5>Despine the spectacular explosion. The Queensland company in charge says

0:01:28.285 --> 0:01:30.045
<v Speaker 5>it will be back for another attempt.

0:01:30.285 --> 0:01:32.405
<v Speaker 1>Queensland it really is bogus.

0:01:32.565 --> 0:01:35.965
<v Speaker 3>And you don't think necessarily like cutting edge.

0:01:36.045 --> 0:01:36.885
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't think that.

0:01:37.805 --> 0:01:40.444
<v Speaker 2>You know, you don't think you've got the billionaire boys,

0:01:40.445 --> 0:01:43.925
<v Speaker 2>haven't you will? You've got like bezos and musk Queensland.

0:01:44.485 --> 0:01:47.645
<v Speaker 2>It's not the Silicon Valley of Australia, is it. No,

0:01:47.725 --> 0:01:51.765
<v Speaker 2>Just respect Queensland. But you know, so, did you see it?

0:01:51.845 --> 0:01:53.205
<v Speaker 2>Sort of there was like a lot of smoke. Then

0:01:53.205 --> 0:01:54.485
<v Speaker 2>it's sort the sort of fell over.

0:01:55.445 --> 0:01:57.845
<v Speaker 1>It barely got off the launching pad. Well, I'm looking

0:01:57.845 --> 0:01:58.765
<v Speaker 1>at the new support here.

0:01:58.845 --> 0:02:01.045
<v Speaker 2>The key line that I've highlighted is it flew for

0:02:01.085 --> 0:02:05.165
<v Speaker 2>fourteen seconds before losing thrust. Yeah, that's how it's's wedding

0:02:05.245 --> 0:02:08.805
<v Speaker 2>night telling me that story when we first meat have it?

0:02:10.645 --> 0:02:12.925
<v Speaker 2>Have it into this from some nerd that was filming

0:02:12.925 --> 0:02:17.405
<v Speaker 2>a bill Now it is id Also Lockie, who is

0:02:17.445 --> 0:02:21.765
<v Speaker 2>a very talented sound architect on the show. He's into

0:02:22.525 --> 0:02:27.325
<v Speaker 2>anything thrusty f one and rockets.

0:02:27.965 --> 0:02:29.725
<v Speaker 1>He knows who this nerd is.

0:02:29.885 --> 0:02:30.525
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy.

0:02:30.685 --> 0:02:33.405
<v Speaker 1>You know Lockie was off last week sick. I reckon

0:02:33.405 --> 0:02:37.845
<v Speaker 1>it was him up there, loves to have more flight time.

0:02:38.165 --> 0:02:40.165
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, this is a guy from the actual company. Listen

0:02:40.205 --> 0:02:42.405
<v Speaker 2>to this guy trying to get in front of this story,

0:02:42.805 --> 0:02:45.605
<v Speaker 2>actually trying to own it as No, this is great, No,

0:02:45.685 --> 0:02:46.685
<v Speaker 2>this is what meant to happen.

0:02:46.725 --> 0:02:47.525
<v Speaker 1>This is the best thing.

0:02:47.725 --> 0:02:50.125
<v Speaker 5>I would have loved to have more flight time, but

0:02:50.205 --> 0:02:52.525
<v Speaker 5>I think fourteen seconds is something I'm willing to be

0:02:52.685 --> 0:02:54.365
<v Speaker 5>very happy with for the first attempt.

0:02:54.605 --> 0:02:57.725
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank god Neil Armstrong and his mates weren't didn't

0:02:57.765 --> 0:02:59.685
<v Speaker 2>have that expirit about.

0:02:59.405 --> 0:03:02.165
<v Speaker 1>Them at fourteen seconds. It's great. We can build on this.

0:03:02.445 --> 0:03:03.924
<v Speaker 1>He also said there's a quote here.

0:03:03.965 --> 0:03:06.405
<v Speaker 5>They asked him why it was so like such a failure,

0:03:06.445 --> 0:03:08.165
<v Speaker 5>and he said, space is hard.

0:03:12.925 --> 0:03:14.645
<v Speaker 3>It's hovering, it's hovering, it's hovering.

0:03:14.805 --> 0:03:17.205
<v Speaker 2>This is some nerdy filmed at all. There was no

0:03:17.285 --> 0:03:20.685
<v Speaker 2>other nerds filming or just this one guy. Apparently the

0:03:20.765 --> 0:03:24.765
<v Speaker 2>video he gets so excited he knocks his own tripod over,

0:03:25.005 --> 0:03:28.645
<v Speaker 2>so he lost a lot of space.

0:03:29.765 --> 0:03:34.525
<v Speaker 3>It's hovering, it's hovering, it's hovering. It's gone. It's gone.

0:03:35.405 --> 0:03:37.405
<v Speaker 3>Ah No.

0:03:42.765 --> 0:03:45.605
<v Speaker 1>If I had to sum up in just one phrase,

0:03:45.685 --> 0:03:47.005
<v Speaker 1>the d season.

0:03:46.765 --> 0:03:59.405
<v Speaker 3>Ah no, ah no. Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast
