• 1:51
  Speaker 2: You work for NASA.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You work for NASA at an organization that's devoted for space.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Some people debate if we ever actually got to the moon.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: The conspiracy theorist out there, But even if we did
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: get to the moon, what really had Like why was
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the purpose of going to the moon You really think
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: about it, Right, we went to the moon sixty years ago.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It was a race against the Russians, and we put
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the American flag on the moon, very typical of America.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But when you really think about it, what's the point.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: But I'm like those same people love their satellite TV
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: in their GPS.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Right, So that's the point.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, Space for the benefit of Earth is really
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: the theme, and it's the theme of you know, Blue Origin,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: And what happens is there's all this amazing research that's.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Done in space.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Your memory from Mattress Mattress space, there's all the stuff
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: that comes out of that, but people don't know that
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: it came from space, and so they don't associate space.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm giving you the platform, the educated people,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: including myself, on the benefits of spending trillions of dollars
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: over the last fifty years of going to space, Like
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: this is your open platform to educate the world on
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the benefits of American tax dollars being spent to go
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to space.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: So one of the things that I really enjoyed about
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: working on space missions was it helped me understand how
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: much research is done in order to help humans fight
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: diseases and infections that wouldn't be possible without space. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: so one thing that happens is if something is launched
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: into space, it tends to mutate and it's called virulent
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and so you see researchers working with pharmaceutical companies to
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: introduce new antibiotics and new treatments that if you can
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: kill it in space, you can kill it on earth.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: And so that directly relates to our ability to just
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: go outside right, to be able to interact.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: And I'm not talking about vaccines.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about basic things that allow us to be
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: able to better protect people. In addition to that technology,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: right when we look at the artificial heart valve, there
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: are so many things that are small that benefit people
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: day to day. And then beyond that, you know, climate
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: and the world, like the world is becoming ever smaller place,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and a lot of what we know about climate change
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: came from studies from space and the impact on that
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that is far reaching. And so you know, when people
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: ask me about space, I'm just like, it's not.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: So much about the moon. And all the dollars that
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: are spent. The dollars that are spent are actually spent
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: in the hopes of spending less dollars.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Right, if you build something the first time, it's typically
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: more expensive, but if you.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Repeat it, it becomes cheaper. That's why you get these large
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: price tags.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: But the ability to be able to say people in
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: fifty years aren't going to die from cancer.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: That's really what we're after.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: When we look at space, there's a lot, there's a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: lot going on up there, especially when when you think
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: about technology. You talked about satellites. We we you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: we've been following starlink and all that, but also the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: debris us up there is an issue.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: That's a job, that's a startup. So this gave somebody
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: a billion dollar idea, right.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: There they have Well you want to elaborate on that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because that that's something that that's a real issue.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: That's definitely an issue.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: But this is why I love it because it sounds
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: super sci fi, right, like why don't you create a
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: space trash company? Go right ahead, But there's a lot
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: of debris in space. And I mean, once again, space
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: is a large place, but there's no shortage of jobs, startups, read.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Opportunity for people to pursue in space.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I was just going to add, is there is there
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: like a race to Mars? Is that is that what
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: we're headed with this? Like I'm looking at well, like humans,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we haven't been tomorrow? Rovers well humans I'm talking about
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is that a right?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Because I'm looking at humans.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Have humans been tomorrows that you can say.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So from a standpoint of like we're watching the wealthiest
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: people in the world mhm explores space expiration, whether it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Elon or Jeff Bezos, Like we say, is that the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: race is that what is headed?
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't necessarily say that that was where it was headed.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I mean I think, like when I look over I
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: don't know, the last thirty years, what's amazing is this
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: idea that you now have a private industry that can
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: contribute to something that used to only be the domain
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: of governments.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: And I feel like that's the takeaway.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: And when we throw out Besos and Branson and Elon,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: why can't we have the black version or the Hispanic version? Right, Like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: why not somebody else who is not like them? Because
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a lot of their money came from entrepreneurship and startups
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and they decided to go and pursue space because that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Was the passion.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: So for me, it's sort of like we have this model,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: there are these guys, and I want it to be
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: like Basos, Branson, bo.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Sis's right in line, what do you say to the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: flat earthers you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Like satellite TV?
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Right? I think that's it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: That's my that's my whole response.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, don't come for me on Twitter, don't come
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: for me in the DMS. Like, there are a lot
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: of things that people rely on every day that requires
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: there to be a rotation of that thing. If you
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: think that your satellite just goes left to right and
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: left to right again, I can't help you.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: That's a good answer. So are people in Australia that
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: when you say, I'm like, are people in Australia standing
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: upside down?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Always standing right side up?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: We'll always gravity.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Of rotation, the axis of the Earth.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, so the Southern hemisphere if we're standing right side
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: out the world, the northern hemisphere, but they're.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Right set up for where they are.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: The gravity allows.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Us a legitimate question.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Look, I read a lot of these conspiracy through the situations,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: so so you know.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: What's funny about conspiracy is like sometimes conspiracy is a
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: name for like a whistleblower, right, and like you're really
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: getting the drop, But then sometimes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: It's just weird news.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: What about aliens?
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: That's an interesting question.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Are you allowed to answer that?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll just look at it from a probabilistic standpoint, right,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: because who's to say that we're not the aliens.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Well, we are aliens. If there's all the life for them,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the aliens to them.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: So this is why I need people to get involved
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: in the stem fields, like you too could be responding
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: questions like this at work on.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: The class, on your job.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So do you think that the aliens?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: So?
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I think that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: When I first logged into chat GPT, my very first
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: query was returned to me all of the most reputable
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: sightings of UFOs in history.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Do it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: It's a great search. There's a lot of really good stuff.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: And the reason for that is I'm committed that I
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: don't know what I don't know. And from a math perspective,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: if you've ever seen the sun the sunset in Africa,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: which I know you guys have, and you see how
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: many stars out there, it's hard to believe that there
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: isn't something else.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Now, what is that else?
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Is that else a dog on another planet?
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Is it a plant? I don't know.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I don't organisms, right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, but I think that we should inspire people
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: to figure it out.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Like I belong in the camp of let's figure it out.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: So there's a high probability that the other life forms
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: outside of Earth.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: There's a Drake equation, and the Drake equation says that
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: that probability he is one. Therefore, it is most likely possible.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Did Drake equations the Drake like the rapper Drake.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: He can take credit for that. But it's not that Drake. No,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: it's literally yeah, No, it's just his.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Name, scientist, yes, Drake Yes.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, Attempted illegal border
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: one thousd thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: will never return. But if you register using our CBP
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: home app and leave now you could be allowed to
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: America's laws, border and families will be protected.
• 11:18
