WEBVTT - MINI: Aussie's in space

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 2>As he's in space. I hadn't realized it was only

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 2>two years ago. Australia actually launched his own space agency.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 3>With very little fanfare. I don't remember that being a

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 3>big thing in the country.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>One of the last countries in the world not to

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>have a space agency. You've all seen everyone up there.

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 2>He's thinking it were flying up there. You like public

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 2>holiday today for certain states, but two years ago inside

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe there is something in the old space Oh, Nigeria

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>got their space program ten years ago. Australia two years ago.

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, what's the British space program doing? I hadn't hear

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>much about the British space program.

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Command to Tim, we've had actually had to go on

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the space station.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Really, yeah, I'll have to take your word for a Commander.

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Tim is not a famous name to me.

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Great British space name, though, isn't he? Yeah? He Tim?

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 2>What is his surname? And the only reason I remember

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Tim is four years ago he went up to it,

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>became the first British guy to go up to the

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 2>International Space Station. And I remember he was doing a

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 2>thing and one of my kids school was selected where

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>they had like a four minute window where three kids

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>could ask him a question.

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.199
<v Speaker 3>I've heard about this, so why they're orbiting over? Then

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 3>it's like a Ham radio.

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 2>So the whole school special assembly. They're going live to

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the International Space Incredible, right, So I asked the kids

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>later on, you know, I was so excited. I was like,

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 2>what was it? Like? What was it like? God? Then

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>he was talking about what he's doing up there? Right,

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>and then it was his speciality was apparently he was

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>going up there to sort of do some scientific experiments

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>up at the International Space Station. The kids said, right,

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Ruby went, it was so underwhelming. For four weeks they've

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 2>been building up. We're going to chat to him. He's

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>an astronois, the spaceman, he's British, he's tim science Okay,

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>science fiction, they said. Basically he got he had some

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>cress seeds that he'd grown up there out of a

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>little cup. You know, little crest seeds. You water them

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and they grow, Yeah, little sprouts, that's all he was doing.

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Said do you do that in junior school when you're seven?

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that the first proto Russians?

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Right? Those Russians must have been working on all kinds

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 2>of stuff up there. The British guy turns up for

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:20.679
<v Speaker 2>a were the toilets a block block? Mate? Can you

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>have a look at that? And then have you got

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>your crest seeds? Oh? Yeah? Whoa Tim? How are they

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 2>getting on? If they watered them today? Tim old school

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and then he got this cris out of a looking

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>like see through cup you get by the water fountain

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 2>at work and went, look, I've been working on this.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>And when everyone was like can we go back to classroom?

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.519
<v Speaker 1>You only have a four minute window to him, Yeah,

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>that's enough.

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So if the bridge space astronauts called Tim, what's

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 2>your austraining guy called? Is it? Who have you got

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 2>going on?

0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 4>We've got Andy Thomas as our Astronautusts South Australian gentlemen. Yeah,

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Andy Thomas.

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that he's been up there, Yes he has.

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 4>He's been a couple of times. I can't think which

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 4>missions they were, but it was quite a while ago,

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe eight or ten years ago. I'd have to google it.

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah, then he catch a lyft because you haven't

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>got your own space program. So when you catch a

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>lift or somebody, you know.

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Like swing by Australia.

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 2>And then we're going to take so yeah, they're taking her.

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 2>How they're talking about how on the next thirty to

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>fifty years there could be an Australian in space and

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>even on the Moon. My question this morning is, right

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>when the Americans land on the Moon, they hit a

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>golf club, they got six signs, Alan Shephard, it was

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 2>like forty eight forty nine years ago used to six

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>sign and hit the ball two hundred Technically, I was

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>reading about this right, You could in theory hit a

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 2>golf ball if you didn't have that big suit on,

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>but due to the lack of graviton and it would

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 2>go into orbit six case, it would go for six

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 2>ks to be up in the air a minute and

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 2>a half. Imagine that. But anyway, because he had the big,

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 2>bulky space suit and he sounds like me, someone's learning

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>not very good at golf. He only is shanked a bit.

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>He had it. The first two goes, he missed it

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>because you've got the big, big space suit and they

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>got gold globe in all.

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 3>This, and I don't need a spacesuit to miss the

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 3>golf ball.

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>And then he hit it. It went about two hundred yards.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 2>And then this is what guys do. Five years later,

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 2>another American takes his golf club up. They're thinking I

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 2>hit it further than that. He does six hundred yards.

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>So the record at the moment is six hundred yards.

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>But what would an Australian on the moon, what would

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>you be taken up? You're taking up a footyball.

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Or how fa you can launch a or chuck the.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Cricket ball or whatever. You're definitely taking that. What else

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>would Australians take up to the moon.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Frisbee would be another good one. See how long you

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 3>could launch a frisbee in the air?

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Yep, definitely to me. You know you are a nation

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>of dog lovers. You know you've got your dog parts

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 2>of that. There's a dog coming up as well. There

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 2>has to be a dog, a little dog helmet, yes,

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 2>little space suit you know with the poor You know

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 2>you see some dog owners where the Kavoodo and they've

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>got the big old winter jacket and on stuff like that.

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>What do you think Ozzie's in space? What would you

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>be taking up for a space trip to the moon.

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Let me know this morning, Christian Iconnell, Christian O'Connell show,

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Fantasy Black Box on Gold Commander Tim Peat. That was

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 2>the name of the British astrot or went up there

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>for like, I've been really disrespectful to the guy.

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 1>And how are those sprouts going? Did they grow into

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>the full? Reckon?

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>The Russians are still looking after is water crises, mung

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>bean seeds. He's really contributed to where science understanding? Bossie's

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 2>in space? Going to the article I read this morning,

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>could be happening in the next fifty years? Or don't

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 2>rush at Australia fifty years ago Americans went to the Moon.

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 2>During the next fifty years, could we see in Australian

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 2>on the moon? Where are we.

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Getting the money to pay for this space?

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Exactly? I mean America. That's why they're partner up with

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk It's billions billians. Also, I was just looking

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 2>at some of the names of the space shuttles that

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>they've gone up over the years. Enterprise, Columbia of course, Challenger,

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Discovery at lant Endeavor, fast forward to Australia, the s

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 2>S shit be right, all right? What what would you

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>send up into space? What wouldn't Australian bring to the moon.

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Anne, Good morning, Ann. What do you

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>think I think there's nothing more ousy than a boomerang. Christian,

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>You're quite right, that would look genuinely cool up there

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>as well. What happened in gravity? Would it come back

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>or just go?

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it probably might.

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to really know, obviously, but I just thought, well,

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing more ouzy than a boomerang, So I thought,

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>were you going to go up there and give it

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a shot? I suppose, so you know what, I get

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 2>a feeling. I know a scientific expert. Well, with the

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 2>lack of gravity, I wonder if someone if through it

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>and then there's another space mission five years later someone

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:42.799
<v Speaker 2>gets hit in the back of their space.

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever tried to throw a boomerang?

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 3>We know, I remember taking one out and proper wooden one,

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 3>and it's taking so long for it to actually swing

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 3>back to me. But then the first time I properly

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 3>got onto it and come cycling back at me, I'm.

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Not going to catch contigus for hunting, and that it's

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 2>a probably sort of weapon as old as the spear. Yeah,

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>but no, that would be amazing and that's a great idea.

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much. You cool, have a good day, Okay,

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>but is here just cut them off like that? Uh? Stephen,

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>good morning. Obviously in the rush to Dale were to

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 2>get tonight Stephen, good morning, Hey Christian stay step sorry mate, Sorry,

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>sounds like you were breaking down the lines there. It's

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>just so emotional getting to speak to.

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Us, Stephen.

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 2>What do you think then? And as in space, what's

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 2>he taking up there? Nothing more Australian than cracking a

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>can and asked Bundy rum. Therefore you've got to have

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the eski as well, being wheeled down the steps of

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 2>a lunar landing module, you know, and Escie being wheeled

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>out there in a little kind of lawn chair to

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 2>sit there and enjoy some Bundy rum.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>And then how do you get it under the helmet

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>if you've.

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Got a beer helmet as well? Have you know, well

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>those beer helmets with a straw. He can't forget to

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 2>motorized this as well. Yes, yeah that's right, Steven, Thank

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 2>you very much. You cool. Have a good day. Take

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that mate. Andrea, good morning, Good morning there you going, yeah,

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 2>we're good. What do you think? Then he's on the moon.

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>What are you taking up there?

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Sift forward?

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 1>What are you going to surf on?

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 2>It?

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Went fl Sorry, my dog's backing in the background. It's gravity.

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>It was stage. I mean, this show isn't great with

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>science that game, but I don't think that's how it

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:34.439
<v Speaker 2>works gravity.

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 3>I guess like in this actual spaceship when it's like

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 3>zero gravity in cyber spaceshime, you can float along on it.

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 3>But when you're actually on the Moon, there's a little

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 3>bit of gravity.

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh is there?

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's how they walk on the Moon and they

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 3>they're bouncing. But I don't think they can just surf around.

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Because they've got heavily weighted boots. Otherwise they would just

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>take off and go into orbits. So I guess if

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 2>one of the Australian astaurant ever goes up there, if

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 2>he starts surfing thing, is he not just going to

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>go one giant for the rest of his life? The

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty years later, how is Dave? He's just about to hit.

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Something at the moment, you know, have that rope between

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 3>yourself and the fin connected to the board.

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's get the particalities of this now.

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, then you'd have you'd have to have one

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that tighten in the spaceship so that you don't just

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, float off.

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, another the way we're all trying to work

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 2>this through together so you can contact the space station

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 2>SY in Australia.

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 1>But meanwhile, the dog wants breakfast.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 2>What's somebody to turn about going? Is it feeding time?

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>No, she's well, it's sexually getting to that point. No,

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>she's looking at the bedroom window and deciding that there's

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>something out there that she didn't like.

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough, all right, Andrew, thank you, thank you very much.

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Give us a call. I have a good day.

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Thanks you to

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.360
