1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,900
Josh:
Last night, a rocket left Earth carrying four human beings towards the moon,

2
00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:07,040
Josh:
which hasn't happened in 53 years.

3
00:00:07,180 --> 00:00:11,140
Josh:
In 1972, back the last time we did this, the computer that landed Apollo 11

4
00:00:11,140 --> 00:00:15,180
Josh:
on the lunar surface ran on 43 kilohertz.

5
00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:21,180
Josh:
That's less processing power than the chip inside of a $5 USB-C cable that charges your iPhone.

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,420
Josh:
And they landed on the moon with it. Last night, the most powerful rocket NASA

7
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:27,960
Josh:
has ever built, standing taller than the Statue of Liberty, launched four astronauts

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,780
Josh:
into a 10-day loop around the moon.

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,000
Josh:
We're not going to the surface. We're just going to fly by, take some photos,

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,980
Josh:
and then come back home. And I got to be honest, this is incredibly exciting.

11
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,940
Josh:
I sat there all day watching the live stream. I cheered them on as it took off.

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,280
Josh:
But it's a little embarrassing because we're not even reaching the point in which we left off

13
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:48,970
Josh:
a full generation ago. So there's a lot to unpack here with this mission,

14
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:53,990
Josh:
how amazing it is, how impressive it is, what it enables with the future partnerships

15
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:59,110
Josh:
with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, and also how it kind of, to some extent,

16
00:00:59,310 --> 00:01:01,690
Josh:
was just a colossal waste of money.

17
00:01:01,810 --> 00:01:05,790
Josh:
So there's a lot to unpack here, EJS. But to start with, oh my God, this is amazing.

18
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:08,050
Josh:
We're going back to the moon and the astronauts are currently,

19
00:01:08,150 --> 00:01:12,610
Josh:
as you're listening to this, flying into space, getting ready to orbit around the moon.

20
00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:17,670
Ejaaz:
I had friends yesterday that I hadn't spoken to in like months message me and

21
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:18,630
Ejaaz:
be like, dude, are you watching?

22
00:01:18,770 --> 00:01:21,110
Ejaaz:
Did you know we're launching like people to the moon again?

23
00:01:21,370 --> 00:01:24,890
Ejaaz:
People were just like encapsulated by this entire thing. I think a bunch of

24
00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:26,630
Ejaaz:
people all over the world were watching this stream.

25
00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:30,110
Ejaaz:
And it's nuts. The mission is nuts. It's 10 days.

26
00:01:30,470 --> 00:01:33,410
Ejaaz:
We're sending four astronauts around the moon. So, you know,

27
00:01:33,610 --> 00:01:36,250
Ejaaz:
again, we're not landing on the moon, but we're going further than any space

28
00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:37,410
Ejaaz:
mission has gone before.

29
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:42,450
Ejaaz:
4,700 miles to be specific, a 10-day mission. Right now, the crew are being

30
00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:46,450
Ejaaz:
propelled around Earth using Earth's gravity, and they're going to be launched

31
00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:49,690
Ejaaz:
towards the moon in about, I believe, a day and a half from now.

32
00:01:49,790 --> 00:01:53,510
Ejaaz:
They're going to reach the moon six days after that, traverse it for about,

33
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:55,990
Ejaaz:
I believe, maybe half a day or so.

34
00:01:56,190 --> 00:01:59,470
Ejaaz:
They're going to view the dark side of the moon, and then they're going to come straight home.

35
00:01:59,630 --> 00:02:02,370
Josh:
And there's a lot of firsts for this, too. This is the farthest away humans

36
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:04,350
Josh:
will have ever been from Earth.

37
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:08,070
Josh:
By a couple extra thousand miles, but still the furthest away they've ever been,

38
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:12,030
Josh:
there's also going to be a new record happening upon re-entry where this is

39
00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:18,570
Josh:
going to be the fastest humans have ever moved before at 25,000 miles per hour on re-entry.

40
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:23,670
Josh:
And this is thanks to the free launch trajectory that they get from this mission.

41
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:25,790
Josh:
So basically what happens is we send these humans,

42
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:31,470
Josh:
up into the low earth atmosphere. We whip them around earth and then send them out into deep space.

43
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:34,530
Josh:
The gravitational pull of the moon pulls them into its orbit,

44
00:02:34,910 --> 00:02:38,410
Josh:
wraps them around the backside and shoots them right back to earth totally for free.

45
00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:42,190
Josh:
No additional propulsion needed. And I have a post here that kind of walks through

46
00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:45,650
Josh:
the highlights, right? We have 252,000 miles from earth.

47
00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:49,130
Josh:
These astronauts are going re-entry at 25,000 miles per hour,

48
00:02:49,330 --> 00:02:51,450
Josh:
incredibly hot, incredibly fast and scary.

49
00:02:52,090 --> 00:02:56,290
Josh:
And then it just kind of shows the trajectory of this, which is, it's really amazing.

50
00:02:56,410 --> 00:02:59,630
Josh:
It's something that has been discovered in the past. I believe they've even

51
00:02:59,630 --> 00:03:02,910
Josh:
done this exact trajectory, a very similar one, but just a little bit further

52
00:03:02,910 --> 00:03:06,450
Josh:
this time and a little bit more exciting because it's happening in real time.

53
00:03:06,570 --> 00:03:10,090
Josh:
We have computers that can live stream. We have real-time video feeds of these

54
00:03:10,090 --> 00:03:14,130
Josh:
astronauts and we get to actually watch and participate in this pretty unbelievable

55
00:03:14,130 --> 00:03:14,810
Josh:
thing that's happening.

56
00:03:15,010 --> 00:03:18,370
Ejaaz:
So I've been watching the live stream since yesterday and there's

57
00:03:18,370 --> 00:03:21,310
Ejaaz:
a tracker which tells you how far away from earth they

58
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:24,470
Ejaaz:
are right now and just as of recording it's around 50

59
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:27,330
Ejaaz:
000 miles now if you're wondering how far away

60
00:03:27,330 --> 00:03:30,450
Ejaaz:
that is that's around four earth's diameters away

61
00:03:30,450 --> 00:03:34,830
Ejaaz:
from us so they are a long long way uh away from home but the live cast is still

62
00:03:34,830 --> 00:03:38,490
Ejaaz:
going on and people are generally just pumped about this josh um there was a

63
00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:45,130
Ejaaz:
hilarious video um where a cnn report i believe asked this kid hey um you know

64
00:03:45,130 --> 00:03:48,870
Ejaaz:
why are you here Why are you here to watch the launch? And his response was pretty hilarious.

65
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:52,050
Josh:
Why do you want to be here? Why do you love space?

66
00:03:52,170 --> 00:03:56,290
Ejaaz:
Why do you love being a part of history? We're going back to the fucking moon.

67
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:58,250
Josh:
Hell yeah, brother.

68
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:02,750
Ejaaz:
That's how I felt. That's how I felt. We're going back to the damn moon.

69
00:04:03,070 --> 00:04:08,090
Ejaaz:
Now, that sounds amazing. But when you put it into context as to when our last

70
00:04:08,090 --> 00:04:10,250
Ejaaz:
moon mission was, and there's been quite a few.

71
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:12,950
Ejaaz:
We've put about, I think, 11 or 12 people on the moon. We've been to the moon,

72
00:04:13,130 --> 00:04:17,530
Ejaaz:
maybe 12 people. and we've been to the moon maybe, what was it, three times or so?

73
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:20,050
Ejaaz:
You know, all American manned missions.

74
00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:25,000
Ejaaz:
I asked the question, why has it been 53 years since we've been back?

75
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:29,820
Josh:
That's a great question, EJ. And here's a timeline that should make you moderately

76
00:04:29,820 --> 00:04:33,220
Josh:
uncomfortable. Because in 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon.

77
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,880
Josh:
We walked on it, planted a flag, and came home. Three years later,

78
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,600
Josh:
Apollo 17, Gene Carman becomes the last person to walk on the moon.

79
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:45,680
Josh:
And his final words on the surface, We leave as we came, and God willing,

80
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:49,380
Josh:
we shall return. Well, God was apparently not willing for 53 years because it

81
00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:50,940
Josh:
has been a very long time.

82
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:57,020
Josh:
And it's funny. Like I mentioned in the intro, we did that on a computer that

83
00:04:57,020 --> 00:05:01,740
Josh:
only ran 145,000 lines of hand-optimized code.

84
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:08,160
Josh:
It was 1,100,000th the power that sits in your iPhone in your pocket and 350

85
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,900
Josh:
times more than, you know, those TI-84 graphing calculators you used in high school? Yeah.

86
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:15,940
Josh:
It's 350 times more powerful than that. And we landed on the moon twice.

87
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:19,420
Josh:
So clearly there has been this disconnect in progress between then

88
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:22,580
Josh:
and now but nonetheless we are headed back

89
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:25,600
Josh:
and this does actually begin to open up

90
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,780
Josh:
the door for why this actually matters i mean this is fun we're learning we're

91
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:33,200
Josh:
doing science experiments like testing for radiation out in deeper parts of

92
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,600
Josh:
space but the reality is is that this is mission number one on a multi-step

93
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,440
Josh:
plan towards actually colonizing the moon building a lunar base on the moon

94
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Josh:
thanks to companies like spacex.

95
00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:49,000
Ejaaz:
This is where I kind of want to transition into the numbers because they sound

96
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,220
Ejaaz:
impressive. It's a lot cheaper than it used to be back then. So that's one win.

97
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,820
Ejaaz:
But when you compare it directly towards a company like SpaceX,

98
00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:00,980
Ejaaz:
which is using groundbreaking technology and cutting the cost down to a fraction

99
00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:05,420
Ejaaz:
of what this mission cost, it starts to look pretty bad on NASA and on this

100
00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:06,580
Ejaaz:
space mission in particular.

101
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,640
Ejaaz:
Now, the headline number is $4.1 billion. dollars.

102
00:06:10,780 --> 00:06:15,260
Ejaaz:
That's how much it costs to launch this rocket and man this mission.

103
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,800
Ejaaz:
And, you know, it's understandable. There's a lot of bureaucracy in the government.

104
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:22,600
Ejaaz:
There's a lot of mouths to feed and jobs to pay. But the fact that SpaceX can

105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Ejaaz:
do this for $10 million, and hey, if they blow the rocket up,

106
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,680
Ejaaz:
what is it, like $40, $50 million, Josh?

107
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,440
Josh:
Yeah, so the way it works is, I mean, reusability is a big thing,

108
00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:34,880
Josh:
but even in the absence of it, it is a huge delta.

109
00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:39,940
Josh:
So like you mentioned $4.1 billion per launch for the SLS, which is this Artemis II mission.

110
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,240
Josh:
The total mission cost, by the way, about $93 billion.

111
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,140
Josh:
So quite a bit was spent on this. For Starship,

112
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:51,030
Josh:
it can launch for about $100 million. And that's if the Starship rocket blows up.

113
00:06:51,190 --> 00:06:56,690
Josh:
So if Starship explodes, the total cost to build in materials is about $107 billion.

114
00:06:57,630 --> 00:07:01,190
Josh:
If it does land, which they're planning to do just in a couple of months,

115
00:07:01,390 --> 00:07:03,190
Josh:
that cost goes down to $10 million.

116
00:07:03,550 --> 00:07:06,690
Josh:
From $10 million to $4.1 billion per launch.

117
00:07:06,770 --> 00:07:09,290
Josh:
And actually, EJ, if you scroll a little bit further down in this article here,

118
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:13,250
Josh:
there's a visual that shows the difference in size too as it relates to payload.

119
00:07:13,470 --> 00:07:16,810
Josh:
And Starship is a monster compared

120
00:07:16,810 --> 00:07:19,910
Josh:
to nasa's sls it sits i want to say 25 30

121
00:07:19,910 --> 00:07:23,010
Josh:
taller it has much more payload capacity it is

122
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:25,810
Josh:
just a far more impressive rocket and the fact that

123
00:07:25,810 --> 00:07:28,810
Josh:
it costs a fraction of a percent less than

124
00:07:28,810 --> 00:07:32,870
Josh:
one percent to launch and it can be reused and it can be overflown again and

125
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:37,750
Josh:
again and again it's a testament to the gap that has been built between i guess

126
00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:42,030
Josh:
government funded industries and private industry and part of the reason is

127
00:07:42,030 --> 00:07:45,950
Josh:
the the contracts are such a nightmare when nasa builds these things.

128
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:49,950
Josh:
They use it, they build them based on cost plus contracts, meaning that.

129
00:07:50,610 --> 00:07:55,850
Josh:
The company decides a cost. They mutually agree on how much something is going to cost them to make.

130
00:07:56,050 --> 00:07:59,430
Josh:
And then they add a fixed rate on top of it. So they get a premium.

131
00:07:59,590 --> 00:08:02,130
Josh:
So Lockheed Martin says, this piece is going to cost a million dollars.

132
00:08:02,350 --> 00:08:06,390
Josh:
Well, cost plus means, well, NASA will pay you a 20% premium on that.

133
00:08:06,530 --> 00:08:09,730
Josh:
But there's no incentive for them to bring it down because the premium gets

134
00:08:09,730 --> 00:08:12,370
Josh:
higher as the cost goes higher. So there's all the incentive in the world to

135
00:08:12,370 --> 00:08:13,810
Josh:
make these things incredibly expensive.

136
00:08:14,170 --> 00:08:18,030
Josh:
Where SpaceX, a private company that does not use our taxpayer dollars to fund

137
00:08:18,030 --> 00:08:21,370
Josh:
its launches, has every incentive in the world to remove the costs.

138
00:08:21,570 --> 00:08:24,890
Josh:
And that's why you get this thing called the Idiot Index, which is the delta

139
00:08:24,890 --> 00:08:29,070
Josh:
between the cost of materials versus the actual cost it takes to get these things into orbit.

140
00:08:29,290 --> 00:08:33,550
Josh:
And the Idiot Index on NASA's SLS is pretty freaking high.

141
00:08:33,790 --> 00:08:37,910
Ejaaz:
I'm starting to think that this entire mission should just have been handled and managed by SpaceX.

142
00:08:38,130 --> 00:08:41,730
Ejaaz:
I'm pretty sure the future missions, which NASA is going to enable putting people

143
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:45,130
Ejaaz:
on the moon and setting up a moon settlement, is going to be enabled by SpaceX.

144
00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:47,930
Ejaaz:
There is no are the way that they can do it. They need reusable rockets.

145
00:08:48,090 --> 00:08:51,650
Ejaaz:
They need cheaper costs to get into outer space and to the moon and back.

146
00:08:52,210 --> 00:08:56,490
Ejaaz:
Now, I know they say never judge a book by its color, but I'm going to judge

147
00:08:56,490 --> 00:08:59,450
Ejaaz:
these two ships directly together. Star Trek.

148
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:06,120
Ejaaz:
25% taller. It is two times heavier. It can take 4x more payload than this current rocket.

149
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,080
Ejaaz:
It is completely reusable and both stages are designed for reuse.

150
00:09:10,220 --> 00:09:15,000
Ejaaz:
So the point I'm trying to make here is I think that NASA taking 53 years is

151
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Ejaaz:
kind of a big discredit towards the agency and what they've achieved.

152
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:20,780
Ejaaz:
Not to discredit that the mission itself is very impressive,

153
00:09:20,780 --> 00:09:24,400
Ejaaz:
but I think the future is going to be with companies like SpaceX that is able

154
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,440
Ejaaz:
to lower down the cost for things like this and produce better efficiencies

155
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,380
Ejaaz:
versus what we just watched yesterday.

156
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,940
Josh:
Yeah, it's totally right. And it's so important not to discredit what's happening

157
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:37,320
Josh:
here because this is amazing, right? It's like we do have humans that are on

158
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,640
Josh:
their way to the moon right now built by an unbelievable engineering team that did this.

159
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,140
Josh:
It's not their fault. A lot of these people weren't even alive 53 years ago.

160
00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:47,980
Josh:
They are doing their best to get these people to the moon and they're doing

161
00:09:47,980 --> 00:09:52,180
Josh:
a great job. The mission so far outside of that one little toilet anomaly has been a wild success.

162
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,220
Josh:
Everything is working really well and that serves a tremendous amount of credit.

163
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:58,600
Josh:
But like you mentioned, SpaceX is just far superior and we're going to see that

164
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,960
Josh:
handoff happen as we progress through this artemis program so artemis 3 which

165
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,740
Josh:
is scheduled for mid-2027 so a year from now uh the crew is going to test docking

166
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:12,940
Josh:
with the spacex starship or perhaps blue origin but i would imagine that spacex

167
00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:14,860
Josh:
is probably going to win over that contract there's no.

168
00:10:14,860 --> 00:10:16,400
Ejaaz:
Way bezos gets this no way

169
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,560
Josh:
Unlikely unlikely but possible they have the

170
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:22,280
Josh:
option then artemis 4 is the big one that's happening in

171
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,720
Josh:
early 2028 and that's when we are targeting for the first lunar

172
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,680
Josh:
lander to actually land on the moon with human beings inside so spacex is probably

173
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,680
Josh:
going to be handling that one that's coming in two years and then just a little

174
00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:38,160
Josh:
bit later in the year in the second half of 2028 there's going to be a second

175
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,060
Josh:
crew landing planned in which nasa is going to target twice per year landings

176
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:44,020
Josh:
on the moon going forward.

177
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,800
Josh:
And this is going to begin the production and the building of our lunar Mars

178
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,940
Josh:
base, which is really cool.

179
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,900
Josh:
I mean, NASA's administrator, Jared Isaacman, he's the new guy.

180
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,080
Josh:
Everyone loves him. He's amazing.

181
00:10:55,220 --> 00:10:59,640
Josh:
He announced a $30 billion decade-long plan to build a permanent lunar outpost

182
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,040
Josh:
on the South Pole of the moon by 2036.

183
00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:06,280
Josh:
So the Artemis launch today, while we may have some choice words to say about

184
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,840
Josh:
it, is very much the gateway to a lunar base.

185
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:11,420
Josh:
And this is step one in a multi-step process that's going to happen.

186
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:12,920
Josh:
And they're going to bring in SpaceX.

187
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,460
Josh:
They're going to bring in Starship. The costs are going to decrease.

188
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:18,500
Josh:
It's just, you know, it took a little while to get here.

189
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:22,900
Ejaaz:
I think it's also important to set the context as to why on Earth we have two

190
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:28,260
Ejaaz:
major companies or agencies trying to land humans and set up a supplement on the moon itself.

191
00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:32,620
Ejaaz:
Elon has his own specific reasons for SpaceX. He wants to get closer to the sun.

192
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,460
Ejaaz:
He wants to train AI with data centers out in space and harness sun's energy

193
00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:39,400
Ejaaz:
and turn us into a Kardashev 2 or Type 2 civilization.

194
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Ejaaz:
With NASA, it is part of that, but they've also realized that some parts of

195
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Ejaaz:
the Moon is potentially habitable.

196
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,260
Ejaaz:
You know, they've found or confirmed water on the South Pole.

197
00:11:50,580 --> 00:11:53,720
Ejaaz:
They've got drinkable water, breathable oxygen. And one of the reasons why this

198
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,680
Ejaaz:
is so important is it gives us more access to resources that we didn't have

199
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,140
Ejaaz:
access to before, more space.

200
00:12:00,260 --> 00:12:03,960
Ejaaz:
And also, it's easier to manufacture things with one-sixth of the gravity of Earth.

201
00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:08,430
Josh:
Yeah, well, it's also, I mean, mass driver, dude, we're, we're doing AI in space.

202
00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:12,370
Josh:
Don't forget that. So the plan for, I mean, space extensively is to help build

203
00:12:12,370 --> 00:12:16,730
Josh:
this Mars base, but also to build that mass driver that we talked about in an episode prior,

204
00:12:17,010 --> 00:12:22,170
Josh:
which is a way of distributing satellites into orbit very cheaply and very quickly

205
00:12:22,170 --> 00:12:23,770
Josh:
and harnessing a lot more energy.

206
00:12:23,770 --> 00:12:27,150
Josh:
There's essentially unlimited free energy on the moon because we're able to

207
00:12:27,150 --> 00:12:31,070
Josh:
capture all of it via solar and when you apply that at scale it's it's a really

208
00:12:31,070 --> 00:12:33,810
Josh:
amazing way to begin to scale.

209
00:12:35,270 --> 00:12:37,970
Josh:
Intelligence energy capture we start to build these mini

210
00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:40,810
Josh:
dyson storms because the cost per satellite becomes so low

211
00:12:40,810 --> 00:12:44,310
Josh:
and this is going to happen over this phased structure they

212
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:47,510
Josh:
have like phase one which is happening through 2028 they're planning 25

213
00:12:47,510 --> 00:12:50,730
Josh:
launches 21 landings to deliver 4 000 kilograms

214
00:12:50,730 --> 00:12:53,810
Josh:
of equipment that's going to include like rovers

215
00:12:53,810 --> 00:12:56,590
Josh:
drones communication systems things of the nature phase two

216
00:12:56,590 --> 00:12:59,990
Josh:
happens in the following years between 2029 and 2032 where

217
00:12:59,990 --> 00:13:02,970
Josh:
they're going to start building power systems and communications and

218
00:13:02,970 --> 00:13:06,070
Josh:
habitat modules where humans can actually live on the moon for weeks

219
00:13:06,070 --> 00:13:08,890
Josh:
or months at a time phase three happens just after that

220
00:13:08,890 --> 00:13:11,970
Josh:
which is 2033 to 2036 which is

221
00:13:11,970 --> 00:13:14,810
Josh:
the fully operational lunar outpost so this happens fairly

222
00:13:14,810 --> 00:13:17,790
Josh:
quickly a decade from now there's a very high probability

223
00:13:17,790 --> 00:13:20,670
Josh:
that's or i guess not very high there's a

224
00:13:20,670 --> 00:13:23,850
Josh:
strong probability that we have humans permanently stationed on

225
00:13:23,850 --> 00:13:28,010
Josh:
the moon with rocket chips that go back and forth on a regular basis and we

226
00:13:28,010 --> 00:13:30,910
Josh:
see it doesn't take that long this whole mission for these astronauts takes

227
00:13:30,910 --> 00:13:34,110
Josh:
10 days if you go direct i think it's way less than that it's probably half

228
00:13:34,110 --> 00:13:38,930
Josh:
or something um so the moon is going to change a lot and this is very much the

229
00:13:38,930 --> 00:13:41,250
Josh:
gateway mission that enables that that change to start happening.

230
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:47,170
Ejaaz:
That still is almost a decade away. And I want to bring us back to the mission

231
00:13:47,170 --> 00:13:48,390
Ejaaz:
that's happening right now.

232
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:52,270
Ejaaz:
We've talked about a lot of impressive things. The tech, the ship itself,

233
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:56,750
Ejaaz:
the crew, very accomplished. But I want to talk about the thing that impressed me the most.

234
00:13:57,130 --> 00:14:00,250
Ejaaz:
The menu that they have for the next 10 days. Oh boy.

235
00:14:00,870 --> 00:14:06,090
Ejaaz:
Artemis 2 crew menu was leaked. And they have 189 unique menu items.

236
00:14:06,250 --> 00:14:09,630
Ejaaz:
They also have spice levels for those who prefer spicier versus something more

237
00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:13,230
Ejaaz:
milder. And I have to say, this is more impressive than any space mission or

238
00:14:13,230 --> 00:14:17,050
Ejaaz:
arguably anything that I eat on a daily basis at my local restaurant,

239
00:14:17,310 --> 00:14:17,990
Ejaaz:
my neighborhood restaurants.

240
00:14:18,130 --> 00:14:21,570
Ejaaz:
We've got coffee, green tea, mango, peach, smoothie, chocolate breakfast drink.

241
00:14:21,710 --> 00:14:22,610
Ejaaz:
I've never had that before.

242
00:14:22,850 --> 00:14:26,890
Ejaaz:
Apple cider, pineapple drink, cocoa, strawberry bread. Like that's just a drink

243
00:14:26,890 --> 00:14:28,770
Ejaaz:
section, by the way. Then you've got common food items.

244
00:14:29,150 --> 00:14:32,970
Ejaaz:
This seems like a lot for 10 days, but it is my favorite ever thing.

245
00:14:33,210 --> 00:14:36,910
Ejaaz:
You've got to keep the crew happy. I don't think the space station has this

246
00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:37,770
Ejaaz:
variety of different things.

247
00:14:38,190 --> 00:14:41,450
Ejaaz:
Five Canadian products by the way I just want to point out it's not just all America but

248
00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:45,590
Josh:
I love this. And to my understanding also, this is the first time there's like

249
00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:50,050
Josh:
a fully functional toilet bowl in a spacecraft. So that's pretty...

250
00:14:50,050 --> 00:14:50,670
Ejaaz:
Questionable.

251
00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:52,650
Josh:
Okay, questionable. Why do you say questionable?

252
00:14:53,270 --> 00:14:57,830
Ejaaz:
Well, the good news is that we launched with everyone being saved.

253
00:14:57,930 --> 00:14:59,710
Ejaaz:
The rocket did not explode. Thank goodness.

254
00:15:00,150 --> 00:15:04,830
Ejaaz:
The bad news is almost immediately the toilet got clogged. It got throttled

255
00:15:04,830 --> 00:15:06,830
Ejaaz:
and they couldn't use the toilet.

256
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:08,610
Josh:
Wait, did it get clogged? It didn't get clogged.

257
00:15:09,570 --> 00:15:13,830
Ejaaz:
It got they're troubleshooting the toilet um what does that tell you josh i

258
00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:19,510
Ejaaz:
don't know but the important update is it has finally been fixed so the people

259
00:15:19,510 --> 00:15:22,410
Ejaaz:
will be able to reuse the toilet but the question i have on my mind is what

260
00:15:22,410 --> 00:15:25,190
Ejaaz:
would they have done if that was you know unfixed

261
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:28,090
Josh:
You know i'm actually not sure how astronauts use the

262
00:15:28,090 --> 00:15:31,010
Josh:
bathroom in space generally speaking so that's gonna have to be some additional research

263
00:15:31,010 --> 00:15:33,710
Josh:
we do after that perhaps if you know you could leave a comment so i

264
00:15:33,710 --> 00:15:36,670
Josh:
would be curious i think the menu is very funny um i

265
00:15:36,670 --> 00:15:39,630
Josh:
they need to be careful tread lightly because we know that toilet's a little fickle so

266
00:15:39,630 --> 00:15:42,430
Josh:
don't go too overboard on the menu but i think it's fun right it's like

267
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:45,490
Josh:
if you're gonna blow all this money do it have fun

268
00:15:45,490 --> 00:15:48,370
Josh:
like make it entertaining make it fun and exciting for

269
00:15:48,370 --> 00:15:51,250
Josh:
the astronauts make it fun for everyone to watch and i

270
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:54,050
Josh:
think that's what's really interesting about having the live stream is that we

271
00:15:54,050 --> 00:15:56,770
Josh:
get to watch and participate this participate in this in real

272
00:15:56,770 --> 00:15:59,430
Josh:
time as it's happening now i do have some choice comments about the

273
00:15:59,430 --> 00:16:02,130
Josh:
live stream they were standing on the launch pad and i

274
00:16:02,130 --> 00:16:05,410
Josh:
was looking into the cockpit and it looks like it was being shot on a potato

275
00:16:05,410 --> 00:16:09,690
Josh:
like perhaps they could have used this spacex partnership to partner with starlink

276
00:16:09,690 --> 00:16:13,070
Josh:
that would have been cool to give slightly higher resolution uh imagery maybe

277
00:16:13,070 --> 00:16:16,170
Josh:
they did because the image we just watched earlier was pretty good but there

278
00:16:16,170 --> 00:16:20,710
Josh:
was this really funny um meme that i saw that showed the cockpits comparison between.

279
00:16:21,450 --> 00:16:24,570
Josh:
Spacex and artemis 2 and looking at

280
00:16:24,570 --> 00:16:27,530
Josh:
these two it is pretty stark the difference right it's

281
00:16:27,530 --> 00:16:31,610
Josh:
like one of these looks like it is from the 1960s and the other one looks like

282
00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:35,730
Josh:
it is out of a sci-fi movie and i think that's another testament to kind of

283
00:16:35,730 --> 00:16:38,910
Josh:
where we've come from and where we're going where nasa's very much riding the

284
00:16:38,910 --> 00:16:43,590
Josh:
coattails of its history which is unbelievably impressive and powerful and strong

285
00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:45,750
Josh:
but it's a new era and they're,

286
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:50,240
Josh:
There is a new kid in town who is building some really badass engineering,

287
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,500
Josh:
some really badass rockets.

288
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,320
Josh:
And based on this photo, like SpaceX, SpaceX looks like what I would imagine the future looks like.

289
00:16:56,780 --> 00:16:59,400
Ejaaz:
Yeah, it looks like something out of the Interstellar movie,

290
00:16:59,580 --> 00:17:02,360
Ejaaz:
you know, where Matthew McConaughey is like, you know, we're going to land this TARS.

291
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,340
Ejaaz:
Yeah, I think it's way more advanced. It's way less cluttered.

292
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:10,660
Ejaaz:
I think, I hate to say it, but I think there's been a lot of bureaucracy in

293
00:17:10,660 --> 00:17:14,640
Ejaaz:
NASA and in government agencies and putting people focusing on space in particular.

294
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,460
Ejaaz:
I think in that time in the 53 years since we did our last moon mission,

295
00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:20,520
Ejaaz:
private companies have caught up.

296
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,180
Ejaaz:
SpaceX being the prominent one, Blue Origin from Jeff Bezos being probably the one that is in second.

297
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,780
Ejaaz:
I think we're going to start, like when I zoom out, I think that net net,

298
00:17:30,980 --> 00:17:33,900
Ejaaz:
we're going to see more space launches and more space missions.

299
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:38,560
Ejaaz:
Before we started recording, Josh, I told you, like, I hope one day in my life

300
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,480
Ejaaz:
before I die, I get to go to the moon or into outer space in general.

301
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,940
Ejaaz:
I think that's going to become a reality.

302
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:48,040
Ejaaz:
Elon is targeting a launch every hour in the next, I believe,

303
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:49,300
Ejaaz:
five years or within a decade.

304
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,080
Ejaaz:
I can't remember the time span, but that would be awesome. That's something

305
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,040
Ejaaz:
out of Star Trek, something straight out of sci-fi.

306
00:17:54,670 --> 00:17:57,830
Josh:
Yeah, it feels very high conviction to say that you will have the option to

307
00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:58,870
Josh:
go to the moon in your lifetime.

308
00:17:59,070 --> 00:18:02,390
Josh:
And if you want to, you will have the chance to do that. And I think that's

309
00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:07,610
Josh:
a really cool thing that this enabled and this recent focus on space is going to enable.

310
00:18:07,770 --> 00:18:11,410
Josh:
We are very much back into our space era. And this is unbelievably exciting.

311
00:18:11,550 --> 00:18:14,450
Josh:
Like right now, four humans are in a spacecraft hurling towards the moon.

312
00:18:14,890 --> 00:18:17,810
Josh:
And by Monday, they'll fly over the side, which just for a moment,

313
00:18:17,850 --> 00:18:21,730
Josh:
they will see a part of the moon that no human eyes have ever directly seen before.

314
00:18:21,870 --> 00:18:25,230
Josh:
It's really exciting. And this opens up not only the enthusiasm,

315
00:18:25,530 --> 00:18:29,570
Josh:
because this has gotten quite a bit of publicity, but also just the velocity

316
00:18:29,570 --> 00:18:35,210
Josh:
and all of the approvals needed to actually start building and making progress towards the lunar base.

317
00:18:35,630 --> 00:18:39,450
Josh:
SpaceX pivoting from Mars to the moon is really important. There is now a clear

318
00:18:39,450 --> 00:18:41,250
Josh:
path to building a lunar base.

319
00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:44,470
Josh:
And what that unlocks is really cool in terms of technology,

320
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:48,610
Josh:
but also just in terms of awe and curiosity and getting excited about what it's

321
00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:53,090
Josh:
like to explore beyond the current planet that we've lived on since the beginning of time.

322
00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:57,870
Josh:
And the progress is, it's just so awesome to see. And even though it,

323
00:18:58,070 --> 00:18:58,830
Josh:
sure, it was inefficient.

324
00:18:59,090 --> 00:19:02,370
Josh:
Sure, there were a lot of mistakes. Sure, it took us a long time. We're here, we're back.

325
00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:07,450
Josh:
And we are back in a way that is sustainable and durable. And the window is open to do this now.

326
00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:12,470
Josh:
And assuming things continue to go well, assuming there is no catastrophe within

327
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:15,830
Josh:
our country between now and like maybe 15, 20 years from now,

328
00:19:15,950 --> 00:19:17,150
Josh:
Ejaz, you can go to the moon.

329
00:19:17,410 --> 00:19:19,810
Josh:
I'll be able to go to the moon. And it will be very cost effective.

330
00:19:19,810 --> 00:19:22,730
Josh:
Because when you think about the launch costs, I mean, $10 million to send a

331
00:19:22,730 --> 00:19:26,590
Josh:
starship to the moon today, what is that going to cost like a decade from now?

332
00:19:26,770 --> 00:19:29,670
Josh:
Probably significantly less. And I assume it's going to be something like an

333
00:19:29,670 --> 00:19:32,870
Josh:
airplane because at the end, at the limit, that's the only way that this becomes.

334
00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:37,030
Josh:
Sustainable business model is if they are able to do that at a cost that's competitive.

335
00:19:37,330 --> 00:19:41,470
Josh:
And that seems to be the goal. And over the next 10 years, we're going to build something that,

336
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,920
Josh:
is indistinguishable from sci-fi. Like it's really going to start to look like

337
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,700
Josh:
the future. And that is so unbelievably exciting.

338
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:54,440
Ejaaz:
I remember last year, Elon was speaking about the launch economics of putting stuff into outer space.

339
00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:59,300
Ejaaz:
And he mentioned that there might in the short term be this new type of transportation

340
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:02,660
Ejaaz:
system for people who want to get to countries quicker.

341
00:20:02,860 --> 00:20:07,880
Ejaaz:
So what he modeled out was going straight up in a SpaceX shuttle and coming

342
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,860
Ejaaz:
down about 44 minutes later in Japan.

343
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:13,640
Ejaaz:
And so you've done the journey from the US to Japan in 44 minutes,

344
00:20:13,660 --> 00:20:18,300
Ejaaz:
where usually it would take like 13 to 19 hours, depending on airline and flight time.

345
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Ejaaz:
So there are a lot of intermediary benefits that are going to happen with all of this.

346
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,500
Ejaaz:
But hey, I'm so proud of all of this. And as a foreigner and a tourist living

347
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,260
Ejaaz:
in this country, I'm wearing my American flag here.

348
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:29,920
Ejaaz:
I don't know if you guys can see it, but I'm proud of us.

349
00:20:30,020 --> 00:20:33,820
Ejaaz:
And I'm super excited to see. I hope the mission is successful and hopefully

350
00:20:33,820 --> 00:20:35,260
Ejaaz:
it'll lead to more missions in the future.

351
00:20:35,740 --> 00:20:38,860
Josh:
Yeah, we got to keep but real we got a clap back where it's deserved that uh

352
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:41,960
Josh:
descriptor that you're saying about spacex that's

353
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,880
Josh:
the vertical takeoff and landing rockets the vetols and i

354
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,900
Josh:
believe the video where they initially pitched that idea is probably

355
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:51,980
Josh:
close to seven or eight years old and they made a total of zero progress towards

356
00:20:51,980 --> 00:20:56,000
Josh:
that so damn space is hard man and priorities change like spacex was going to

357
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,120
Josh:
build vtol rockets and go to the mars uh now they're going to the moon and nasa

358
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:03,720
Josh:
hasn't really had the opportunity to go to the moon no they're doing it now

359
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,660
Josh:
so priorities change things shift, but right now we have a very clear trajectory.

360
00:21:08,020 --> 00:21:11,340
Josh:
Jared Isaacman has said, we are going to the moon. We are colonizing it.

361
00:21:11,420 --> 00:21:13,240
Josh:
We are building a lunar base. 10 years.

362
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,020
Josh:
And we actually have momentum. There are astronauts in the air right now and

363
00:21:17,020 --> 00:21:18,560
Josh:
a very clear trajectory to continuing that. So,

364
00:21:19,050 --> 00:21:22,730
Josh:
Really cool. If you're listening to this, chances are they're still in space.

365
00:21:22,730 --> 00:21:26,210
Josh:
You can go to NASA's YouTube channel and watch this live in real time.

366
00:21:26,290 --> 00:21:27,230
Josh:
And it's pretty amazing.

367
00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:30,530
Josh:
You could just see these guys kind of hanging out. They were taking pictures with their iPhones.

368
00:21:30,730 --> 00:21:33,870
Josh:
I think the idea of this is to run some science experiments,

369
00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:37,730
Josh:
sure, but also just to get people excited about space and to make it more relatable,

370
00:21:37,910 --> 00:21:38,610
Josh:
to make it more accessible.

371
00:21:39,010 --> 00:21:42,750
Josh:
And I mean, it's really exciting. So I would encourage anyone to go and check

372
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:45,910
Josh:
out the live stream, share maybe in the comment section what's most exciting.

373
00:21:45,910 --> 00:21:48,210
Josh:
I don't know, Eijas, any final thoughts before we head out today?

374
00:21:48,570 --> 00:21:54,870
Ejaaz:
I want people's over-under on SpaceX getting us to a moon settlement fully living

375
00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:57,970
Ejaaz:
by 2028 versus NASA doing it themselves.

376
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:03,330
Ejaaz:
What do you people, folks listening to us think? My bet is SpaceX.

377
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:07,070
Josh:
Josh, anything? Yeah, I mean, NASA, they already said they're not doing it.

378
00:22:07,210 --> 00:22:08,610
Josh:
It's either SpaceX or Blue Origin.

379
00:22:09,010 --> 00:22:12,970
Josh:
So Blue Origin is doing well. They're really strong in low Earth orbit.

380
00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:17,050
Josh:
They're less strong anywhere else. i think starship is going to i'm almost 100

381
00:22:17,050 --> 00:22:20,230
Josh:
positive starship will be the rocket and perhaps blue origin could do stuff

382
00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:22,830
Josh:
with space station like falcon heavy is doing with the dragon cat how far.

383
00:22:22,830 --> 00:22:25,750
Ejaaz:
Behind is blue origin on spacex now relatively do you think

384
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:29,070
Josh:
It depends how you measure it

385
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:32,310
Josh:
but blue origin does not have a starship and

386
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:35,010
Josh:
okay a starship is really the only thing that matters in

387
00:22:35,010 --> 00:22:38,090
Josh:
space because again the cost of kilogram is is the singular

388
00:22:38,090 --> 00:22:41,250
Josh:
metric that matters and the cost per kilogram of starship

389
00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:44,130
Josh:
is dramatically lower than anything that blue origin has

390
00:22:44,130 --> 00:22:46,890
Josh:
or will have in the near future so blue origin will have

391
00:22:46,890 --> 00:22:49,910
Josh:
the capacity to do specific things it could send satellites

392
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:52,870
Josh:
into low earth orbit kind of like what starlink's doing they're trying their own thing in

393
00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:57,770
Josh:
fact amazon um just recently purchased yesterday global star telecommunications

394
00:22:57,770 --> 00:23:02,490
Josh:
which is a satellite company to help compete with starlink so there is going

395
00:23:02,490 --> 00:23:06,830
Josh:
to be this competition for low earth orbit in terms of lunar orbits or moving

396
00:23:06,830 --> 00:23:11,170
Josh:
mass further out or moving large amounts of mass so these Starlink V3 terminals

397
00:23:11,170 --> 00:23:12,590
Josh:
that are coming are huge.

398
00:23:12,790 --> 00:23:17,730
Josh:
Blue Origin cannot carry those, but SpaceX and Starship can. So there's going to be.

399
00:23:18,510 --> 00:23:21,390
Josh:
I wouldn't say Blue Origin is behind in the sense that they're behind on getting

400
00:23:21,390 --> 00:23:25,610
Josh:
to orbit. They're just behind on getting mass to orbit, large amounts of it at a cheap quantity.

401
00:23:25,770 --> 00:23:29,670
Josh:
And that's what makes the big difference. So SpaceX is very far ahead in that

402
00:23:29,670 --> 00:23:32,150
Josh:
sense. But there's a lot of companies that are now competing.

403
00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:35,330
Josh:
And there's a ton of public stocks that actually have been doing incredible

404
00:23:35,330 --> 00:23:38,030
Josh:
recently in the market over the last few weeks.

405
00:23:38,170 --> 00:23:41,410
Josh:
Because people are starting to realize the space race is back, baby.

406
00:23:41,570 --> 00:23:44,930
Josh:
And it's all America. It's all the USA. all these companies are fighting for

407
00:23:44,930 --> 00:23:50,330
Josh:
getting mass into orbit creating these networks putting stuff into space so

408
00:23:50,330 --> 00:23:53,790
Josh:
it's a really exciting time i'm feeling very optimistic about the future of

409
00:23:53,790 --> 00:23:57,170
Josh:
space travel and i'm glad that everyone's aligned government private industry

410
00:23:57,170 --> 00:23:58,850
Josh:
the people everyone's stoked about this.

411
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:04,400
Ejaaz:
You would think that AI is like the hottest stock in industry to invest in right

412
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Ejaaz:
now, but SpaceX just filed for a discretionary IPO. So it's happening.

413
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:16,200
Ejaaz:
They're targeting a June launch and the valuation that they're going for is $1.75 trillion.

414
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,440
Ejaaz:
It'll be the biggest, largest IPO that we've ever seen before.

415
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:25,220
Ejaaz:
The over-under that I've seen on a lot of websites as well is it's going to

416
00:24:25,220 --> 00:24:28,780
Ejaaz:
be valued above $2 trillion by the close of day on its initial day.

417
00:24:28,780 --> 00:24:31,140
Ejaaz:
So people are excited about space.

418
00:24:31,340 --> 00:24:35,620
Ejaaz:
They realize that there is so much of a bigger opportunity outside of Earth

419
00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:37,220
Ejaaz:
than just constrained to Earth's resources.

420
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,900
Ejaaz:
And I'm excited to see this manifest and become real.

421
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,740
Ejaaz:
Just truly a great day for the world and America in general.

422
00:24:44,020 --> 00:24:47,060
Ejaaz:
I wish the astronauts and the mission the best of success. I'm going to be tracking

423
00:24:47,060 --> 00:24:48,300
Ejaaz:
this for the next six days.

424
00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:51,360
Ejaaz:
Sorry, the next 10 days. There's not going to be anything else I'm going to be watching.

425
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,380
Josh:
That's great. Big week for the optimists, man. Space is back.

426
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,220
Josh:
We are so back. And we got 10 days to enjoy this.

427
00:24:58,220 --> 00:25:00,980
Josh:
250th anniversary of the united states painted on both

428
00:25:00,980 --> 00:25:03,720
Josh:
of those boosters that are going to be burning up in orbit

429
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,560
Josh:
as they return back to earth and it's really cool i

430
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,240
Josh:
