COM. NOW WE’RE GOING TO SEND IT OVER TO NEWS. 00:00AM MORNING ANCHOR JUSTIN WARMOTH
WITH THE WEEKLY.
>> THIS IS THE WEEKLY ON
CLICKORLANDO DOT COM WITH
JUSTIN WARMOTH. I’M JUSTIN
WARMOTH. THANKS FOR JOINING US
HERE ON THE WEEKLY THIS
MORNING. WE’RE JOINED BY NEWS
6 SPACE EXPERT EMILEE SPECK A
VERY EXCITING WEEK WHEN IT
COMES TO SPACE CREWED
MISSIONS. WE LOVE THEM. CAN’T
GET TIRED OF THEM. BIG MISSION
THIS WHAT MAKES THIS ONE
DIFFERENT FROM FROM THE
PREVIOUS.
>> SO NOW THIS IS KIND OF
BECOMING ROUTINE, RIGHT. LIKE
WE’RE SEEING KIND OF SPACE X
AND NASA GET INTO THE SWING OF
THINGS. THIS IS CRUDE THAT
CREW 2 MISSION. SO WE’RE GOING
TO HAVE 2 NASA ASTRONAUTS ONE
EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY
ASTRONAUT AND ONE JAPANESE
SPACE AGENCY ASTRONAUT
LAUNCHING ON THIS. SO AGAIN,
FOR PEOPLE. DIFFERENT PEOPLE
THIS TIME. BUT IT’S IT’S KIND
OF THE SAME RENTS IN LIKE WE
SAW LAST TIME WITH OUR WITH
OUR LAST 4 ASTRONAUTS HEADED
UP TO THE SPACE STATION CREW
DRAGON. I SAW THEM TWEET MOST
COMBINED.
>> EXPERIENCE IN SPACEFLIGHT
HISTORY THAT THESE FOLKS ARE
DECORATED. HE’S ABSOLUTELY
ABSOLUTELY. AND I AND REALLY,
REALLY EXCITED TO SEE ALL OF
THEM IN SPACE. THERE’S THERE’S
SO PERSONABLE. I DON’T KNOW IF
YOU HAVE HAD ANY CHANCE TO
TAKE LISTEN TO SOME OF THEIR
INTERVIEWS ARE ANYTHING BUT
YOU CAN TELL THAT THEY HAVE A
REALLY GOOD VIBE. THEY GET
ALONG REALLY WELL. AND THAT
WAS THE SAME WITH OUR CREW.
ONE CREW THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON
SPACE STATION. SO I THINK
THAT’S THAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT
WHEN YOU HAVE TO SPEND SO MUCH
TIME TRAINING ON E BRAND-NEW
SPACECRAFT OR ONLY RECENTLY
YOU SPACECRAFT. THAT’S THAT’S
VERY IMPORTANT. I THINK IT’S
ALSO FITTING AS WE TAPE THIS,
IT IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GO
OFF ON EARTH DAY. I THINK
THAT’S PRETTY COOL. I THINK
IT’S PRETTY SOMETHING
DEFINITELY. THEY THEY PICKED
THAT DAY.
>> APPROPRIATELY. WELL, LET’S
GOING TO BE ON THE 21ST AND
THEY DID IT TO THE 22ND. BUT
WE HAVE TO MENTION WITH ALL
LAUNCHES IS QUITE POSSIBLE.
THERE COULD BE DELAY OR, YOU
KNOW, MAYBE THERE’S A SCRIBE
IN AND HE HASN’T GOT. WE’VE
GOT BACK UP WINDOWS THE
FOLLOWING DAY, WHICH WOULD BE
A FRIDAY. AND THEN AGAIN ON
MONDAY. SO WE’LL SEE I MEAN.
IT AGAIN. SPACEFLIGHT BEING
LAUNCHED FROM FLORIDA AGAIN.
THE WEATHER.
>> WE LOVE IT.
>> YEAH. WE’LL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS. THAT’S LAST LUNCH. IF
I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. SO WITH
CREW ONE, IT WAS WE HAD I
THINK IT WAS A TORNADO
WARNING. IT LAUNCHED INTO
DOING SOME CRAZY WEATHER. IT
WAS DEFINITELY NOT SAYING
THAT’S NOT GOING SEE THAT IT
ACTUALLY HAPPENED I WAS GOING
TO HAPPEN. BUT IT DID MENTION
THE SPACE STATION IS CROWDED.
>> LAST WEEK WE HAD A SOYUZ
LAUNCH THAT TOOK 3 MORE
ASTRONAUTS TO THE SPACE
STATION. SO ULTIMATELY THEY
COULD HAVE DOUBLE DIGIT
ASTRONAUTS ON BOARD, RIGHT.
YES, BAD AT ONE TIME. THEY
WILL. YES. SO THE PLAN THE
CREW TO ASTRONAUTS THE FORMAL
ARRIVE AND THEN SOON THE CREW,
ONE ASTRONAUTS THAT WILL FREE
FORCE FORCE
>> BUT WHEN YOU’RE TALKING
ABOUT THE SPACE STATION. IT’S
BASICALLY LIKE A 6 BEDROOM
FLOATING HOME RIGHT. AND
CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE
ASTRONAUT MIKE HOPKINS HAS
BEEN SLEEPING IN THE CREW
DRAGON BECAUSE THERE WASN’T
ENOUGH SPACE FOR HIM TO HAVE
HIS OWN SLEEPING QUARTERS. YOU
KNOW, IT’S NOT THE SAME AS A
BEDROOM HERE ON EARTH. BUT YOU
KNOW, THEY DO LIKE SLEEPING
BAGS AND A LITTLE KIND OF WILD
OFF AREA. A LITTLE PRIVATE
QUARTERS, BUT HE’S HAD
ACTUALLY KIND OF MAYBE A GOOD
DEAL. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
AND I THINK HE’S BEEN ENJOYING
THAT HE’S BEEN TWEETING SOME
PICTURES FROM INSIDE HIS
BEDROOM OF THE VIEWS THAT HE
HAS. SO THAT’S A PRETTY
INTERESTING TO SEE. YOU GOT
DECENT VIEW THERE. NO BUNK
BEDS ON JUST YOU KNOW, WE
ALWAYS SAY, OH, THEY’RE
CONDUCTING SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
SPACE WALKS. TO TO KIND OF
NARROW IN ON THAT.
>> WHAT WHAT REALLY GO A
LITTLE DEEPER THAN JUST
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
SPACEWALKS. WHAT ONE OF THESE
ASTRONAUTS BOARD. THERE’S SO
MUCH GOING ON AT THIS AT THE
SPACE STATION AT ONE TIME. YOU
KNOW, IT’S HARD TO MENTION
THEM ALL. YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
MORE THAN 200 EXPERIMENTS
HAPPENING AT ONE TIME.
RECENTLY. THEY GOT KIND OF A
NEW DOOR TO THE SPACE STATION
THAT WAS EXCITING SO THEY CAN
THEY CAN RELEASE MORE
EXPERIMENTS AND KIND OF PUT
THEM ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE
SPACE STATION BECAUSE THE
LOWER EARTH, YOU KNOW, ORBIT
ENVIRONMENT IS CRITICAL TO
TESTING WITH WITH LOW GRAVITY
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THAT
INVOLVE YOU AND I YOU KNOW, A
MICROBIAL THINGS LIKE THAT.
THERE’S ALSO, YOU KNOW, PLANT
GROWING PLANS AND THOSE ARE
THINGS THAT WILL IMPACT JUST
ONE DAY WITH IF WE NEED TO GO
TO SAY THE MOON OR TO MARS BUT
ALSO DOWN HERE ON EARTH. A LOT
OF THE RESEARCH BENEFITS US
HERE ON EARTH. AND WE DON’T
EVEN REALIZE IT. YOU HAVE TO
IMAGINE, THOUGH, THAT THEY
PROBABLY NEED ANOTHER SPACE
STATION. IS THAT SOMETHING
THAT THAT IS YEAH, JUST
CONSIDERED NOT NECESSARILY BY
NASA. BUT RIGHT NOW, NASA HAS
AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY,
A COMPANY. IT’S A TEXAS BASED
COMPANY CALLED ACTS AND THAT
IS GOING TO BUILD ITS THE
FIRST PRIVATE SPACE AND IT’S
GOING TO START BY ATTACHING
TOO. THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION AND THEN ONCE THAT IS
READY TO KIND OF BE
DECOMMISSIONED. IT’S GOING TO
BREAK AWAY AND AND BE ITS OWN
AND THEN JUST RECENTLY ANOTHER
PRIVATE COMPANIES HERE IN
NEVADA ANNOUNCED PLANS TO
CREATE THEIR OWN SPACE STATION
AND THIS ONE LOOKS KIND OF
FUNKY BECAUSE IT’S MADE OF THE
INFLATABLE KIND OF MODELS. WE
ACTUALLY HAVE ONE ON THE SPACE
STATION CURRENTLY. SO IT’S
KIND OF INTERESTING TO SEE
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. AND SIERRA
NEVADA IS THE COMPANY THAT
MAKES IT KIND OF LOOKS AND
MANY SPACE SHUTTLE. YEAH. SO
IT’S CALLED THE DREAM CHASER
AND THEY PLAN TO USE THAT TO
GET PEOPLE TO AND FROM THIS
PRIVATE SPACE STATION. I MEAN,
THERE’S JUST SO MANY COMPANIES
OUT ONE OF WHICH IS SO. YOU
KNOW, BOEING I REMEMBER BEING
OUT THERE IN DECEMBER OF AND
EVERYTHING. WITH.
>> GOOD WITH THE STARLINER
CASTLE RIGHT. THE LAUNCH WAS
BEAUTIFUL IS IN THE MORNING
AND THEN WE GOT WORD ABOUT 30
MINUTES TO AN HOUR LATER THAT
THERE IS AN ISSUE ON RECORD.
REMIND OUR VIEWERS ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED WHERE BOEING STANDS
WHEN IT COMES TO TO BEAR THEIR
SPACECRAFT RIGHT.
>> SO THAT WAS THE ORBITAL
FLIGHT TEST. SO DIDN’T HAVE
ANY ASTRONAUTS ON BOARD THAT
ON AN ATLAS ROCKET PIER FROM
FLORIDA SEEING THE LAUNCH
RIGHT NOW. AND IT WAS A
BEAUTIFUL LAUNCH. YOU WRITE
EVERYTHING LOOKED FLAWLESS.
BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS AT THE
TIME WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO
PERFORM A MANEUVER TO CATCH UP
TO THE SPACE STATION THAT
DIDN’T HAPPEN. THERE WAS
COMPUTER TIMING SO AS A
SOFTWARE ISSUE, THERE WAS ALSO
HARDWARE ISSUE. BUT BASICALLY
IT WAS NOT ABLE TO CATCH UP TO
THE SPACE STATION. AND SO THEY
BROUGHT IT BACK DOWN. 48 HOURS
LATER. SO WAS UNABLE TO
COMPLETE THAT THAT TEST FLIGHT
OR SLATE. SO NOW THEY’RE
GETTING READY TO DO AND A
SECOND ORBITAL TEST FLIGHT. SO
A LEFTY TOO. BUT IN THE
MEANTIME, BOEING AND NASA,
THEY BOTH INVESTIGATED WHAT
HAPPENED. THEY HAVE MADE A LOT
OF CHANGES. A LOT OF THOSE
HAVE BEEN ORGANIZTION
ORGANIZATIONAL SOFTWARE
CHANGES AND NASA MADE
RECOMMENDATIONS. BUT THEN
BOEING ALSO WENT ABOVE AND
BEYOND AND MADE SOME CHANGES
THAT WERE. NOT MAY BE
NECESSARY, BUT THEY JUST
WANTED TO GET THAT DONE. THEY
WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS
SAFE. SO UP WHEN IT DOES
LAUNCH ASTRONAUTS IN THIS NEXT
LAUNCH WON’T HAVE ASTRONAUTS
THE FOLLOWING ON. WELL. BOEING
AND NASA WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERYTHING HAS ITS GOOD
TO GO AND IT IS SAFE IN MY
REMEMBERING THIS CORRECTLY
THAT THEY SAID IF THERE WERE
ASTRONAUTS ON BOARD, THEY
WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SORT
OF RIGHT THE SHIP. YEAH,
THAT’S THAT’S ACTUALLY TRUE.
NICOLE MANN, ASTRONOMICAL MAN,
YOU KNOW, IN A PRESS
CONFERENCE AFTER THAT THAT
TEST FLIGHT. YOU KNOW, SHE
TALKED ABOUT THEIR TRAINING
AND THEY WERE ASKED WHAT WOULD
YOU HAVE DONE IF YOU HAD BEEN
ON BOARD AND SHE SAID WE WOULD
HAVE PILOTED THE SHIP. YOU
KNOW. AND IT IS TRUE THEY
COULD HAVE. BUT IT WAS ALL
AUTOMATED. SO AND THESE NEW
SPACE SPACECRAFT WHEN YOU’RE
TALKING ABOUT BOEING STARLINER
AND YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT A
SPACE X CREW DRAGON. THEY ARE
MOSTLY AUTOMATED. YOU KNOW,
THERE IS THAT OPTION FOR
MANUAL CONTROL. BUT FOR THE
MOST PART, IT’S COMPLETELY
AUTOMATED. WE SAW THAT THE
DEMO 2 BASICALLY THEY WANTED
TO. HEY, LISTEN THIS THIS
SPACECRAFT CAN GET THERE ON
AUTOPILOT. YEAH, BUT THEY TOOK
OVER AND TESTED IT OUT BECAUSE
THAT’S PART OF THEIR MISSION.
>> BUT BUT NORMALLY THEY COULD
JUST THEY’RE JUST ON BOARD
YET. THERE’S THE FERRY YEAH.
THERE. INJURES, IT’S KIND OF
INTERESTING. ASTRONAUT. DOUG
HURLEY WAS THE ONE WHO GOT GOT
TO FLY THEIR DRAGON 4TH FOR
THE FIRST TIME. SO AND HE’S
TEST PILOT. FORMER TEST PILOT
SO.
>> THAT’S WHAT HE’S TRAINED TO
DO. AND I KNOW HE WAS PRETTY
EXCITED TO DO AND THEY BOTH
BOB BEHNKEN AND DOUG HURLEY
HAD REALLY GOOD THINGS TO SAY
ABOUT THE RIDE TO THE SPACE
STATION AND THE RIGHT HOME. I
DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT THAT
THAT LAUNCH RATE THERE. I’M
GETTING CHILLS, RIGHT? JUST
WATCHING IT. YEAH. AND NOT TO
TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM FROM
CREW ON OR EVEN THE CREW. 2
MISSION COMING UP AT THAT ONE.
JUST FELT DIFFERENT. YEAH. DID
IT FEEL ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. I I
REMEMBER WATCHING THAT LAUNCH
AND ITS, YOU KNOW, FOR YOU AND
ME. WE BOTH STARTED COVERING
THIS AROUND THE SAME TIME. SO
WE HAVEN’T REALLY COVERED
PEOPLE’S LAUNCH INTO SPACE.
IT’S THE WEIRDEST THING RANGE.
AND BUT FOR A LOT OF LIKE THE
VETERAN JOURNALIST HAVE BEEN
OUT THERE DOING THIS A LONG
TIME. YOU KNOW, THEY SAID IT
KIND OF FELT LIKE SHUTTLE
DAYS. BUT NOT IT WAS JUST
TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I MEAN, YOU
KNOW, YOU GOT TO SEE THE
ASTRONAUTS ABIDE BY THEIR
TESLAS, WHICH WAS JUST KIND OF
COOL AND THERE’S, YOU KNOW,
THEIR SPACE SUITS LOOK
DIFFERENT THAN THE WHITE AND
BLACK AND EVEN THE PEOPLE IN
THE CLEAN SUITS. THEY LOOK
LIKE NINJAS. YET THE SPACE X
CLEAN SUITS THEIR ALL-BLACK.
IT IS A CERTAINLY A NEW ERA
AND WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THE NEW
ERA OF SPACEFLIGHT COMING UP
AFTER SHORT BREAK. WE’LL BE
>> THIS IS THE WEEKLY ON CLICKORLANDO DOT COM WITH JUSTIN WARMOTH.
>> WELCOME BACK. I’M JUSTIN
WARMOTH THIS MORNING. WE’RE
JOINED BY NEWS 6 SPACE EXPERT
EMILEE SPECK AS WE CONTINUE TO
COUNT DOWN TO A VERY EXCITING
DAY CREW 2 MISSION THIS WEEK.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE ONLY THING
IN SNOW OR INSPIRATION FOR IS
A SUPER INTERESTING MISSION
HERE. EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS SO
INSPIRATION FOR WAS A
COMPETITION TO BASICALLY FIND
2 MORE CREW MEMBERS TO FLY AND
A CREW DRAGON SPACECRAFT. THE
FIRST PRIVATE MISSION
>> FULLY FUNDED PRIVATE
MISSION ON A CREW DRAGON. AND
THIS ISN’T GOING TO THE SPACE
STATION. IT’S IT’S GOING TO
ORBIT THE EARTH. SO WE DID
KNOW WE’VE GOT SO THE CEO OF
THE SHIFT FOR PAYMENT. JARED
ISAACMAN. SO HE IS ON THE
MISSION, OF COURSE. AND HE’S
THE ONE KIND OF BANKROLLING
THIS WHOLE THING. AND THEN WE
HAVE SAINT JUDE PHYSICIAN WHO
IS ALSO GOING TO BE ON. SO
THAT’S PRETTY EXCITING IN THIS
WHOLE THING WAS KIND OF SET UP
TO RAISE MONEY FOR SAINT JUDE
AND THEY I THINK IT WAS OVER
12 MILLION DOLLARS OR ACTUALLY
THAT SOUNDS LOW. I THINK IT’S
DEFINITELY MORE THAN THAT BY
NOW. AND SO WE RECENTLY
LEARNED THAT THERE’S 2 OTHER
PEOPLE THAT WON THE
COMPETITION TO GO AND THEY’RE
KIND OF EVERY DAY. WELL, I
WOULD SAY THEY’RE KIND OF
EVERYDAY DOCTORS SAYING
PROCTOR IS VERY, VERY COOL AND
SHE ACTUALLY COULD HAVE BEEN
AN ASTRONAUT HERSELF. SHE’S
THE ANALOG ASTRONAUTS. SO SHE
SERVED A MISSION HERE ON
EARTH. KIND AS THOUGH IT’S
LIKE A MOON MARS BASE HERE ON
EARTH. SO SHE’S GOT A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE TO RENTAL. TRUE.
THAT’S TRUE. JARED ISAACMAN,
HE IS AN EMBRY-RIDDLE ALUM AND
THE OTHER WENNER WHO WAS
ACTUALLY CHOSEN BECAUSE HIS
FRIEND COULDN’T GO SO HE MADE
A DONATION TO SAINT JUDE. THAT
WAS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT YOU
COULD ENTER. AND AND SO DID
HIS FRIEND AND THEY RANDOMLY
PICKED HIM. THEY CALLED HIS
FRIEND HE SAID, OH, I CAN’T GO
FOR A PERSONAL REASON. AND
THEY SAID THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE
CHRIS HAHA. WHAT IT WHAT IT IS
SCHEDULED TO DO IN
SEPTEMBER’S. YES, VERY SOON
CRAZY. AWESOME TO THINK ABOUT.
I MEAN, THE THE FUTURE OF LIKE
HAVING PRIVATE CITIZENS GO. I
MEAN THAT WE KNOW THAT THAT
THE TOURISM ASPECT IS. IT MAY
NOT BE TODAY, TOMORROW, BUT
IT’S THIS IS LIKE THE FIRST
STEP AND THERE ARE SEVERAL
COMPANIES BURDEN.
>> GALACTIC ALSO GETTING
INVOLVED WITH TAKE, BUT
THEY’RE NOT GOING NECESSARILY
TO THE MOON BRIGHTLY. THEY’RE
GOING TO LOWER EARTH ORBIT,
RIGHT. THAT’S LIKE, BUT THEY
ARE STILL YEAH. THEY’RE GOING
TO THEY’RE GOING TO DO A
COUPLE ORBITS OF THE AREA.
THEY HAVEN’T EXACTLY SAID WHAT
THE WHOLE ITINERARY WILL
>> JARED ISAACMAN AND ELON
MUSK HAVE KIND OF SAID THAT’S
THAT’S TBD EITHER FIGURING
OUT. THEY FIRST HAVE TO GET
THROUGH TRAINING.
>> SO THESE FOR PRIVATE
CITIZENS ARE NOW GOING THROUGH
BASICALLY ASTRONAUT SO COOL.
SO AGAIN, CREW 2 MISSION THIS
WEEK. BUT. AMERICA, THIS IS SO
IMPORTANT FOR FOR JUST THE
COUNTRY AND ITS ITSELF. I
MEAN, THE COST BENEFIT OF
HAVING THE CAPABILITY TO SEND
ASTRONAUTS FROM AMERICAN SOIL
IN AMERICA MADE ROCKETS. IT’S
IT’S IT’S SUCH A COST BECAUSE
SOYUZ WE RELY ON ON THE SOYUZ
CAPSULE TO GET OUR ASTRONAUTS
PREVIOUSLY. WE STILL DO.
RIGHT. AND SO THAT IS THAT’S
IS THAT SOMETHING IT’S LIKE A
CASE BY CASE BASIS WHEN IT
COMES TO SENDING BUT YEAH,
INTERESTING. SO FOR THE SINCE
2011 SINCE THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM
ENDED. WE HAVE PAID RUSSIA
QUITE A LOT OF MONEY TO LAUNCH
OUR ASTRONAUTS AND WE HAVE A
GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM AND
THAT PARTNERSHIP IS CONTINUING
EVEN WITH THE COMMERCIAL CREW
>> YOU KNOW, NASA HAS NOT SAID
SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE’LL BE
ABLE TO LAUNCH RUSSIAN
ASTRONAUTS. BUT YOU KNOW,
IT’S. THERE IS THE TRADE
THERE. BUT BASICALLY NASA WHEN
IT’S. THERE IS THE TRADE
THERE. BUT BASICALLY NASA WHEN from In Touch Ministries. THEY SEE THAT THEY MIGHT BE.
YOU KIND OF RUNNING SHORT ON
AMERICAN ASTRONAUTS OR CREW ON
THE SPACE STATION. THEY
NEGOTIATED FOR MORE SEATS ON
ON THE RUSSIAN SOYUZ
SPACECRAFT. SO THAT’S KIND OF
WHAT HAPPENED THIS TIME. AND
WE’VE JUST, YOU KNOW, HAD AN
ASTRONAUT ARRIVE ON THE SPACE
STATION VIA SO RIGHT. SO IT’S
STILL
>> AND WHAT ALSO IS CRAZY TO
ME AS WE TALK ABOUT THE IS
THAT CREW? 3 HAS ALREADY BEEN
SCHEDULED GREAT. THE FALL TO
THAT. THAT SURPRISE YOU, THAT
THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ON THE
BOOKS TRY TO MOVE ALONE YET
THEY REALLY ARE TRYING TO MOVE
ALONG. YOU KNOW, WE WE’VE GUY
GOT CREW TO AND WE’VE GOT CREW
3 SCHEDULED HOW THAT SHOULD BE
IN THIS THIS FALL. AND THEN WE
HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE
INSPIRATION FOR LAUNCH IN
SEPTEMBER.
>> WE’VE GOT BOEING REPEATING.
THERE ARE A TEST FLIGHT AND
THEN HOPEFULLY MAYBE TOWARDS
THE END OF THE YEAR. WE MIGHT
HAVE A BOEING STARLINER LAUNCH
WITH ASTRONAUTS. SO IT’S
LOOKING LIKE A PRETTY BUSY
YEAR, BUT THERE’S ALSO SO MANY
OTHER THINGS HAPPENING NOT
ONLY ARE WE SENDING
ASTRONAUTS, WHICH IS AWESOME.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER MISSIONS
HAPPENING AS WELL THAT ARE
CERTAINLY EXCITING.
>> YES. SO I’M REALLY MOST
EXCITED THERE’S A COUPLE MOON
LANDERS THAT ARE GOING TO
LAUNCH SO, YOU KNOW, WE ALL
KNOW ABOUT ARTEMIS. THAT’S THE
PROGRAM TO SEND AMERICAN
ASTRONAUTS BACK TO THE MOON.
BUT THERE IS THE COMMERCIAL
LUNAR SERVICES PAYLOAD
PROGRAM. CLIPS FOR SHORT. NASA
LOVE ZACH THAT SELECTED
AMERICAN COMPANIES TO BUILD
ROBOTIC MOON LANDERS AND SEND
THEM TO THE MOON WITH NASA
EXPERIMENTS. SO THESE ARE NOT
NASA BUILT. LANDERS. THESE ARE
PRIVATE COMPANIES. SO THERE’S
2 PRIVATE COMPANIES INTUITIVE
MACHINES AND ASTROBOTIC THAT
ARE GOING TO LAUNCHED THEIR
MOON LANDER. SO ONE IS
LAUNCHING WITH SPACE X AND ONE
IS LAUNCHING WITH YOU L A.
>> CERTAINLY EXCITING. AND I
YOU KNOW, JUST KIND OF GOING
BACK TO WHAT IT WHAT THE SPACE
COAST WAS. IN ITS HEYDAY OF
HAVING THE SHUTTLE MISSIONS
AND THEN THE LAPSE THAT THAT
THAT STRETCH NEARLY A DECADE
OF KNOW. LAUNCHES WITH
ASTRONAUTS ON BOARD. BUT OVER
THE LAST 5 YEARS AND REALLY
OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE
COMMERCIAL SPACE PROGRAM HAS
HAS LIFTED THAT THE SPACE
COAST. IT IS A TOTALLY
DIFFERENT ANIMAL AND. IT’S
CRAZY TO THINK WHAT THE FUTURE
HOLDS AND EXCITING TIME. I
MEAN, TO THINK ABOUT I KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW,
HISTORY THERE AND GREW UP ON
THE SPACE COAST. JUST ON A
PERSONAL LEVEL. WHAT IS THAT?
WAS IT MEAN TO YOU TO SEE THE
SPACE GOES BACK AND THRIVING.
>> IT’S REALLY JUST AMAZING TO
YOU KNOW, AND THERE ARE SO
MANY THINGS THAT WE DIDN’T
TALK ABOUT TODAY THAT ARE
HAPPENING, RIGHT. YOU KNOW,
WE’RE WE’RE HOPING TO SEE, YOU
KNOW, SIERRA NEVADA LAND LAND.
THE DREAM CHASER ON THE OLD
SPACE SHUTTLE RUNWAY. WE’RE
LOOKING AT BLUE ORIGIN THAT’S
BUILDING ROCKETS AND MASSIVE
FACTORY. SO WHEN I DRIVE OUT
TO THE SPACE CENTER. AND I
DRIVE BY EXPLORATION PARK
WHERE BLUE ORIGIN IS. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT, I’M WHAT I’M GOING
INTO KENNEDY SPACE CENTER,
GATES. IT’S JUST REALLY
EXCITING FOR ME TO SEE THAT.
YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY THAT WHEN
YOU PASS THE VISITOR COMPLEX.
THEY’RE DOING REALLY WELL.
TOO. SO I LOVE TO SEE THAT
PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN SPACE
AND THEN THEY AND THEY WANT TO
BE INVESTED IN IT. SO TO ME
THAT THAT JUST BRINGS ME. JOY
IT’S SO GREAT TO SEE KIDS
GOING ON. YOU KNOW WHAT
THEY’RE FO WITH THEIR FOLKS OR
MAYBE AT WITH WITH THEIR
CLASS, GO TO THE KENNEDY SPACE
CENTER, VISITORS COMPLEX AND.
>> AND REALLY GETTING EXCITING
GETTING EXCITED ABOUT ABOUT
SPACE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WAS
SOMETHING WHEN I WAS GROWING
UP. EVERYONE SAID I WANT TO BE
AN ASTRONAUT WHEN I GROW UP. I
THAT’S THE PINNACLE AND NO
GREAT. BUT I THINK IT JUST A
DEGREE THAT SHOT IN THE ARM
THAT THE SPACE COAST THANKS TO
THOSE COMMERCIAL SPACE COMPANY
IS VERY EXCITING. IT IS SO
EXCITING AND THIS WEEK, AGAIN,
AS WE TALK ABOUT THE CREW 2
MISSION, SOMETHING WE’LL BE
WITH THESE ASTRONAUTS FOR
FOLKS WHO MISSED THE 1ST HALF.
IT’S A IT’S A NICE BLEND OF
ASTRONAUTS GOING UP THIS TIME.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO WE HAVE,
YOU KNOW, 2 AMERICAN
ASTRONAUTS.
>> AND WE EUROPEAN ASTRONAUT.
HE’S ACTUALLY FROM FRANCE. AND
THEN WE HAVE A JAPANESE
ASTRONAUT. YOU KNOW, YES. AND
WHEN WE HAVE A WOMAN, WE HAVE
2 3 MEN, BUT YES, IT IS GOOD.
IT IS GOOD TO SEE. LAST THING
I FORGOT TO ASK YOU THIS. WHEN
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE MOON.
>> THAT’S STILL ON TRACK OF
WHAT WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE
TIMELINE FOR WHEN HUMANS.
WE’LL BE BACK ON THE SO
CURRENTLY THE TIMELINE IS
STILL THAT COULD CHANGE. YOU
KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT LAST
WEEK’S THE WEEKLY SENATOR
FORMER SENATOR BILL NELSON
POSSIBLY BEING CONFIRMED TO
LEAD NASA AS THE NEW NASA
ADMINISTRATOR.
>> SO I DO THINK THAT THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF THE ARTIST YOU
KNOW, UNDER THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION THAT TIMELINE
WAS SPED UP BY 4 YEARS. SO IT
REALLY MEANS IT REMAINS TO BE
SEEN WHETHER THEY SAY HOLD UP.
LET’S MOVE BACK TO 2028. BUT
RIGHT NOW IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE
THAT’S GOING TO BE HAPPENING.
AND THERE’S SUCH GREAT
MOMENTUM BEHIND THE PROGRAM
AND YOU KNOW, HERE AT KENNEDY
SPACE CENTER THERE SO READY TO
LAUNCH THE ARTEMIS ROCKETS
THERE. THE SLS ROCKET. I THERE
AGAIN, IT IS SUCH A BUSY TIME
ON THE SPACE COAST.
>> AND WE’RE SO EXCITED THAT
IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT IN OUR
BACKYARD. YES. AWESOME STUFF.
EMILY, AS ALWAYS. AND BY THE
WAY, BEFORE WE GO CHECK OUT
