1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: As he's in space. I hadn't realized it was only

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: two years ago. Australia actually launched his own space agency.

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 3: With very little fanfare. I don't remember that being a

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 3: big thing in the country.

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: One of the last countries in the world not to

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: have a space agency. You've all seen everyone up there.

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: He's thinking it were flying up there. You like public

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: holiday today for certain states, but two years ago inside

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: maybe there is something in the old space Oh, Nigeria

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: got their space program ten years ago. Australia two years ago.

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: Well, what's the British space program doing? I hadn't hear

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: much about the British space program.

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: Command to Tim, we've had actually had to go on

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: the space station.

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, I'll have to take your word for a Commander.

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: Tim is not a famous name to me.

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: Great British space name, though, isn't he? Yeah? He Tim?

19
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: What is his surname? And the only reason I remember

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: Tim is four years ago he went up to it,

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: became the first British guy to go up to the

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: International Space Station. And I remember he was doing a

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: thing and one of my kids school was selected where

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: they had like a four minute window where three kids

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: could ask him a question.

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 3: I've heard about this, so why they're orbiting over? Then

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: it's like a Ham radio.

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: So the whole school special assembly. They're going live to

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: the International Space Incredible, right, So I asked the kids

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: later on, you know, I was so excited. I was like,

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: what was it? Like? What was it like? God? Then

32
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: he was talking about what he's doing up there? Right,

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: and then it was his speciality was apparently he was

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: going up there to sort of do some scientific experiments

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: up at the International Space Station. The kids said, right,

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Ruby went, it was so underwhelming. For four weeks they've

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: been building up. We're going to chat to him. He's

38
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: an astronois, the spaceman, he's British, he's tim science Okay,

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: science fiction, they said. Basically he got he had some

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: cress seeds that he'd grown up there out of a

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: little cup. You know, little crest seeds. You water them

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: and they grow, Yeah, little sprouts, that's all he was doing.

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: Said do you do that in junior school when you're seven?

44
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: Isn't that the first proto Russians?

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Right? Those Russians must have been working on all kinds

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: of stuff up there. The British guy turns up for

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 2: a were the toilets a block block? Mate? Can you

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: have a look at that? And then have you got

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: your crest seeds? Oh? Yeah? Whoa Tim? How are they

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: getting on? If they watered them today? Tim old school

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: and then he got this cris out of a looking

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: like see through cup you get by the water fountain

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: at work and went, look, I've been working on this.

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: And when everyone was like can we go back to classroom?

55
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: You only have a four minute window to him, Yeah,

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: that's enough.

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: Okay. So if the bridge space astronauts called Tim, what's

58
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: your austraining guy called? Is it? Who have you got

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: going on?

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 4: We've got Andy Thomas as our Astronautusts South Australian gentlemen. Yeah,

61
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: Andy Thomas.

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: I think that he's been up there, Yes he has.

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: He's been a couple of times. I can't think which

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: missions they were, but it was quite a while ago,

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: maybe eight or ten years ago. I'd have to google it.

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, then he catch a lyft because you haven't

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 2: got your own space program. So when you catch a

68
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: lift or somebody, you know.

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: Like swing by Australia.

70
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: And then we're going to take so yeah, they're taking her.

71
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: How they're talking about how on the next thirty to

72
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: fifty years there could be an Australian in space and

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: even on the Moon. My question this morning is, right

74
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: when the Americans land on the Moon, they hit a

75
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: golf club, they got six signs, Alan Shephard, it was

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: like forty eight forty nine years ago used to six

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: sign and hit the ball two hundred Technically, I was

78
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: reading about this right, You could in theory hit a

79
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: golf ball if you didn't have that big suit on,

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: but due to the lack of graviton and it would

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: go into orbit six case, it would go for six

82
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: ks to be up in the air a minute and

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: a half. Imagine that. But anyway, because he had the big,

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: bulky space suit and he sounds like me, someone's learning

85
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: not very good at golf. He only is shanked a bit.

86
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: He had it. The first two goes, he missed it

87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: because you've got the big, big space suit and they

88
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: got gold globe in all.

89
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: This, and I don't need a spacesuit to miss the

90
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: golf ball.

91
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: And then he hit it. It went about two hundred yards.

92
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: And then this is what guys do. Five years later,

93
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 2: another American takes his golf club up. They're thinking I

94
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: hit it further than that. He does six hundred yards.

95
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: So the record at the moment is six hundred yards.

96
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: But what would an Australian on the moon, what would

97
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: you be taken up? You're taking up a footyball.

98
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Or how fa you can launch a or chuck the.

99
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: Cricket ball or whatever. You're definitely taking that. What else

100
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: would Australians take up to the moon.

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: Frisbee would be another good one. See how long you

102
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: could launch a frisbee in the air?

103
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: Yep, definitely to me. You know you are a nation

104
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: of dog lovers. You know you've got your dog parts

105
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: of that. There's a dog coming up as well. There

106
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: has to be a dog, a little dog helmet, yes,

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: little space suit you know with the poor You know

108
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: you see some dog owners where the Kavoodo and they've

109
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: got the big old winter jacket and on stuff like that.

110
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: What do you think Ozzie's in space? What would you

111
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: be taking up for a space trip to the moon.

112
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 2: Let me know this morning, Christian Iconnell, Christian O'Connell show,

113
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Fantasy Black Box on Gold Commander Tim Peat. That was

114
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 2: the name of the British astrot or went up there

115
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: for like, I've been really disrespectful to the guy.

116
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: And how are those sprouts going? Did they grow into

117
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: the full? Reckon?

118
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: The Russians are still looking after is water crises, mung

119
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: bean seeds. He's really contributed to where science understanding? Bossie's

120
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: in space? Going to the article I read this morning,

121
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: could be happening in the next fifty years? Or don't

122
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: rush at Australia fifty years ago Americans went to the Moon.

123
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: During the next fifty years, could we see in Australian

124
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: on the moon? Where are we.

125
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: Getting the money to pay for this space?

126
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: Exactly? I mean America. That's why they're partner up with

127
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: Elon Musk It's billions billians. Also, I was just looking

128
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: at some of the names of the space shuttles that

129
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: they've gone up over the years. Enterprise, Columbia of course, Challenger,

130
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: Discovery at lant Endeavor, fast forward to Australia, the s

131
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: S shit be right, all right? What what would you

132
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: send up into space? What wouldn't Australian bring to the moon.

133
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: Let's go to Anne, Good morning, Ann. What do you

134
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: think I think there's nothing more ousy than a boomerang. Christian,

135
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: You're quite right, that would look genuinely cool up there

136
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: as well. What happened in gravity? Would it come back

137
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: or just go?

138
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: I think it probably might.

139
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: It's hard to really know, obviously, but I just thought, well,

140
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: there's nothing more ouzy than a boomerang, So I thought,

141
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: were you going to go up there and give it

142
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: a shot? I suppose, so you know what, I get

143
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: a feeling. I know a scientific expert. Well, with the

144
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: lack of gravity, I wonder if someone if through it

145
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: and then there's another space mission five years later someone

146
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 2: gets hit in the back of their space.

147
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to throw a boomerang?

148
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 3: We know, I remember taking one out and proper wooden one,

149
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 3: and it's taking so long for it to actually swing

150
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 3: back to me. But then the first time I properly

151
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: got onto it and come cycling back at me, I'm.

152
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: Not going to catch contigus for hunting, and that it's

153
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: a probably sort of weapon as old as the spear. Yeah,

154
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: but no, that would be amazing and that's a great idea.

155
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. You cool, have a good day, Okay,

156
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,920

00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,640

164
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: can and asked Bundy rum. Therefore you've got to have

165
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: the eski as well, being wheeled down the steps of

166
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: a lunar landing module, you know, and Escie being wheeled

167
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: out there in a little kind of lawn chair to

168
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: sit there and enjoy some Bundy rum.

169
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: And then how do you get it under the helmet

170
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: if you've.

171
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: Got a beer helmet as well? Have you know, well

172
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: those beer helmets with a straw. He can't forget to

173
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: motorized this as well. Yes, yeah that's right, Steven, Thank

174
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: you very much. You cool. Have a good day. Take

175
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: that mate. Andrea, good morning, Good morning there you going, yeah,

176
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: we're good. What do you think? Then he's on the moon.

177
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: What are you taking up there?

178
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: Sift forward?

179
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: What are you going to surf on?

180
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: It?

181
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: Went fl Sorry, my dog's backing in the background. It's gravity.

182
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: It was stage. I mean, this show isn't great with

183
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: science that game, but I don't think that's how it

184
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 2: works gravity.

185
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: I guess like in this actual spaceship when it's like

186
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: zero gravity in cyber spaceshime, you can float along on it.

187
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: But when you're actually on the Moon, there's a little

188
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: bit of gravity.

189
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh is there?

190
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: Well, that's how they walk on the Moon and they

191
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: they're bouncing. But I don't think they can just surf around.

192
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: Because they've got heavily weighted boots. Otherwise they would just

193
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: take off and go into orbits. So I guess if

194
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: one of the Australian astaurant ever goes up there, if

195
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: he starts surfing thing, is he not just going to

196
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: go one giant for the rest of his life? The

197
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: twenty years later, how is Dave? He's just about to hit.

198
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: Something at the moment, you know, have that rope between

199
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: yourself and the fin connected to the board.

200
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: Let's get the particalities of this now.

201
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, then you'd have you'd have to have one

202
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: that tighten in the spaceship so that you don't just

203
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, float off.

204
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: Oh God, another the way we're all trying to work

205
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: this through together so you can contact the space station

206
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: SY in Australia.

207
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: But meanwhile, the dog wants breakfast.

208
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: What's somebody to turn about going? Is it feeding time?

209
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: No, she's well, it's sexually getting to that point. No,

210
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: she's looking at the bedroom window and deciding that there's

211
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: something out there that she didn't like.

212
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: Fair enough, all right, Andrew, thank you, thank you very much.

213
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: Give us a call. I have a good day.

214
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: Thanks you to
