[Music]

2
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:14,570
so Anusha on sorry thank you so much for

3
00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:16,710
taking the time to join us you are the

4
00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:20,670
first Iranian in space the first Muslim

5
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:23,670
woman in space and the first female

6
00:00:28,099 --> 00:00:26,910
tourist as they call it I'm curious with

7
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:28,109
all those titles and maybe I'm missing

8
00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:30,000
others but which of those are you most

9
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:30,900
proud of

10
00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:34,980
oh well I just you know first private

11
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:37,710
explorer in space that happens to be a

12
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:40,500
woman and it's a big step for women

13
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:45,120
because you know for so many years in

14
00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:47,510
many different cultures and countries

15
00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:50,100
it's believed that women can't do

16
00:00:54,619 --> 00:00:52,379
certain things so I like that title

17
00:00:57,529 --> 00:00:54,629
because it shows that we can and we do

18
00:00:59,330 --> 00:00:57,539
and we will continue to yeah and I think

19
00:01:02,689 --> 00:00:59,340
those titles are gonna be more and more

20
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,699
impressive because soon in a matter of a

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:04,559
couple of years there aren't going to be

22
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:07,170
many more firsts as we have more

23
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:09,840
tourists in space right yes absolutely I

24
00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:11,970
think the first will be then you know to

25
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:15,240
Mars maybe first private citizens who

26
00:01:21,499 --> 00:01:18,330
will settle on Moon or Mars or other

27
00:01:22,910 --> 00:01:21,509
parts of the you know space so there's

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:22,920
still a lot of firsts

29
00:01:27,679 --> 00:01:25,290
because there's this infinite frontier

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:27,689
of space that has opened up now for

31
00:01:32,569 --> 00:01:30,570
exploration so I hope there will be more

32
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:32,579
for our younger generation probably not

33
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:33,360
for my dinner

34
00:01:36,859 --> 00:01:34,710
bottom line as we sit here today how

35
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:36,869
many people have been in space I think

36
00:01:43,219 --> 00:01:41,369
over 550 people so far and actually to

37
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:43,229
the Space Station where you spent 11

38
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:46,860
days how many um most of them actually

39
00:01:52,219 --> 00:01:49,110
have been to Space Station the early

40
00:01:54,639 --> 00:01:52,229
Apollo program was to moon so that's a

41
00:01:58,130 --> 00:01:54,649
very small number I think it's in the

42
00:02:02,270 --> 00:01:58,140
mmm if I'm not mistaken the 2025 people

43
00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:02,280
in total have made it to 2 to the moon

44
00:02:09,279 --> 00:02:07,560
maybe not even that many but to the

45
00:02:12,410 --> 00:02:09,289
space station most of our actually

46
00:02:13,370 --> 00:02:12,420
recent flights have been to a space

47
00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:13,380
station where

48
00:02:18,110 --> 00:02:15,000
to the International Space Station or

49
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:18,120
Mir prior to that or just orbiting in

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:23,120
the shuttle so a lot of orbital sort of

51
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:27,690
stations so you fulfilled lifelong dream

52
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:29,520
yes somewhat are you kind of a crazy

53
00:02:34,970 --> 00:02:32,640
dream because one thing that I've read

54
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:34,980
that you you've said is that you would

55
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:37,650
have been okay not returning from space

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:41,190
dying there in order to go that's how

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:44,970
strong your urge was absolutely I felt

58
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:48,210
like my life would not have any meaning

59
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:52,290
without experiencing being in space and

60
00:02:57,650 --> 00:02:55,230
when I actually flew to space station

61
00:03:00,260 --> 00:02:57,660
when I was weightless when I was up

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:00,270
there and able to look at our planet

63
00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:02,610
from space I felt at home I feel like

64
00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:05,220
I've finally arrived then and I was

65
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:07,020
happy to just stay there and have come

66
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:10,770
back so I felt that if the price is that

67
00:03:14,330 --> 00:03:12,930
you know there's a one-way mission that

68
00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:14,340
they will say who's gonna raise their

69
00:03:17,690 --> 00:03:16,200
hand and god this one-way mission that I

70
00:03:20,570 --> 00:03:17,700
would definitely do that have you seen a

71
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:20,580
therapist about this my husband says I

72
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:23,160
should I be but seriously

73
00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:24,870
obviously you know and I've read some of

74
00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:26,340
your background I know your parents were

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:28,620
divorced at a young age at five years

76
00:03:33,010 --> 00:03:30,570
old I mean do you think there is

77
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:33,020
something from your childhood that

78
00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:35,910
ultimately relates to today that that

79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:40,860
incredible burning desire I think what

80
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:44,010
may be the root cause of this is this

81
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:46,850
innate sense of curiosity I have in me

82
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:50,730
I'm always curious to learn new things

83
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:54,090
to know about unknown places any type of

84
00:03:59,360 --> 00:03:56,880
mystery attracts so am i but I'm not

85
00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,370
willing to die in space so yours is kind

86
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:01,200
of off the charts a little bit yeah a

87
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:04,070
little bit extreme well you you know I

88
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:06,750
heard one of your but perhaps in the

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:08,790
documentary we talked about turmoil when

90
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:11,610
you were a child and seeking solace in

91
00:04:18,770 --> 00:04:15,390
looking at space so is space kind of

92
00:04:21,530 --> 00:04:18,780
your safe place it is it's a place that

93
00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:21,540
I think it's ideal for new beginning

94
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:24,150
it's a place that you can start anew

95
00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:25,710
build new things

96
00:04:31,130 --> 00:04:28,230
you know if we are settling for example

97
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:31,140
on Mars it's our opportunity to create a

98
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:33,690
whole new type of civilization a whole

99
00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:35,790
new way of interacting with each other a

100
00:04:41,690 --> 00:04:39,480
whole new perhaps way of governance so

101
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:41,700
it's like a blank sheet of paper you can

102
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:44,970
start from the first time so when you

103
00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:47,310
were there did it feel like home

104
00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:51,000
it felt home when I was in Space Station

105
00:04:58,370 --> 00:04:54,840
I felt this sense of freedom which was

106
00:05:00,320 --> 00:04:58,380
very difficult to explain because I knew

107
00:05:02,690 --> 00:05:00,330
I'm there temporarily I knew that I

108
00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:02,700
would be returning to Earth so there was

109
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:05,790
no you know sort of sense of why I was

110
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:09,270
feeling so free but I was I felt maybe

111
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:11,400
it's because I was free from gravity

112
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:14,250
that I felt I'm free from all the you

113
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:16,290
know craziness that goes on in

114
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:19,350
everyone's life you know and in mine too

115
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:21,840
and I was in Space Station and it was

116
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:24,030
like this out-of-body experience that I

117
00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:27,600
was looking back on on our planet I was

118
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:30,780
looking back at you know sort of where I

119
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:33,840
lived where I spent my childhood where I

120
00:05:37,730 --> 00:05:35,580
went to school all my memories

121
00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:37,740
everything was right in front of me and

122
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:40,830
then I was completely detached from it

123
00:05:46,940 --> 00:05:43,530
separate from it so I felt a sense of

124
00:05:49,970 --> 00:05:46,950
freedom that's like that's me there but

125
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:49,980
that's the new me here in space and I

126
00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:52,110
can be anything I can do anything

127
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:53,550
how did it meet with what your

128
00:06:01,520 --> 00:05:57,360
expectations were super exceeded my

129
00:06:04,370 --> 00:06:01,530
expectations I loved and imagine how it

130
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:04,380
feels to float freely in space and be

131
00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:07,530
there and see earth I had seen thousands

132
00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:09,500
of pictures of Earth from space but

133
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:12,900
seeing it with my own eyes it was like

134
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:16,770
this you know change that happened in me

135
00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:20,400
where I was able to see everything as a

136
00:06:27,890 --> 00:06:24,120
whole as you know interconnected as one

137
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:27,900
planet as you know this one place that

138
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:31,770
we call home and and it said it puts

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:34,320
things in different perspectives so it

140
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:37,289
redefined my relationship with the world

141
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:39,449
around me with the people around me

142
00:06:44,869 --> 00:06:42,210
with you know prioritizing things in my

143
00:06:48,170 --> 00:06:44,879
life and so it was very profound

144
00:06:49,549 --> 00:06:48,180
experience is that unique to you or do

145
00:06:50,989 --> 00:06:49,559
you find in talking to other astronauts

146
00:06:53,989 --> 00:06:50,999
they have the same experience I think

147
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:53,999
most astronauts have a similar

148
00:07:00,860 --> 00:06:58,490
experience in varying degree

149
00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:00,870
there's even books written about this

150
00:07:06,980 --> 00:07:04,680
overview effect so I think there's this

151
00:07:09,290 --> 00:07:06,990
common thread when you talk to

152
00:07:12,260 --> 00:07:09,300
astronauts about how they felt when they

153
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:12,270
were in space and how they all realized

154
00:07:20,239 --> 00:07:16,800
how our planet is this really precious

155
00:07:24,050 --> 00:07:20,249
home for all of us for all of humanity

156
00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:24,060
and how humanity and this world around

157
00:07:30,739 --> 00:07:27,599
us are all connected together and that

158
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:30,749
you sort of realize that in a profound

159
00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:33,449
way when you're in space so I had I

160
00:07:38,269 --> 00:07:35,580
think a sliver of that experience in

161
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:38,279
watching gravity which I thought and I'm

162
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:39,449
curious your thoughts about it but I

163
00:07:45,829 --> 00:07:42,539
thought does a great job of making you

164
00:07:48,499 --> 00:07:45,839
feel the way that you're just describing

165
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:48,509
because when when Sandra Bullock Lam's

166
00:07:53,929 --> 00:07:51,360
and she's in the water and then rises up

167
00:07:57,529 --> 00:07:53,939
from the water and then gets to shore

168
00:08:00,980 --> 00:07:57,539
and kind of crawls to shore almost like

169
00:08:03,679 --> 00:08:00,990
early life I guess and see it doesn't

170
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:03,689
quite but essentially kisses the ground

171
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:06,080
and she's almost like hugging earth and

172
00:08:11,239 --> 00:08:08,969
it really resonated with me

173
00:08:12,529 --> 00:08:11,249
the thing that Wow because you know

174
00:08:17,629 --> 00:08:12,539
you're in space with her this whole time

175
00:08:20,809 --> 00:08:17,639
and then to get back home and that home

176
00:08:23,929 --> 00:08:20,819
is not Los Angeles or any particular

177
00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:23,939
place home is earth exactly that's kind

178
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,620
of the feeling that I got in watching

179
00:08:30,110 --> 00:08:27,599
that am i describing it okay you're

180
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:30,120
describing it perfectly because the

181
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,370
definition of home changes for you when

182
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:35,039
you go to space it becomes earth it's

183
00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:38,250
not any geographic location on earth but

184
00:08:43,490 --> 00:08:40,740
it's the entire earth and that is a

185
00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:43,500
profound shift in perspective in the way

186
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:46,260
you view the world so wherever you

187
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:48,510
travel wherever you go you feel at home

188
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:50,850
because this is your home this is your

189
00:08:55,690 --> 00:08:52,820
planet right so kudos to

190
00:08:58,180 --> 00:08:55,700
the director Alfonso Curran who won

191
00:09:00,760 --> 00:08:58,190
seroma who did an amazing job with that

192
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:00,770
but you know when I first watched it I

193
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:03,920
eat my popcorn and my large Coke Zero I

194
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:05,930
always have when I go to the movies and

195
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:07,760
I went to bed thinking that was a good

196
00:09:12,370 --> 00:09:09,920
good movie and woke up the next day and

197
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:12,380
when I'm doing what I was doing so how

198
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:15,410
do we translate that feeling that I had

199
00:09:20,350 --> 00:09:17,390
for a fleeting moment you probably had

200
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:20,360
more intensely but okay so what does

201
00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:22,100
that really translate to earth is our

202
00:09:29,950 --> 00:09:26,540
home what do we take with that I've

203
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:29,960
always advocated sending you know world

204
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:33,710
leaders to space because I think it will

205
00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:35,210
profoundly change the way they make

206
00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:38,000
policy it has changed me in the way I

207
00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:40,880
choose what I work on I've worked on

208
00:09:45,610 --> 00:09:42,860
things that will have global impact

209
00:09:48,370 --> 00:09:45,620
that's why I'm here at XPrize foundation

210
00:09:51,970 --> 00:09:48,380
I choose to work on projects that go

211
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:51,980
beyond any small boundaries so it has

212
00:09:59,740 --> 00:09:56,090
opened up my field of view to larger

213
00:10:04,030 --> 00:09:59,750
scale problems and impacts that I can be

214
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:04,040
part of but you know for a world leader

215
00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:06,950
who's making policy that will affect the

216
00:10:12,370 --> 00:10:09,740
lives of hundreds of millions or to

217
00:10:14,770 --> 00:10:12,380
billions of people you know being able

218
00:10:17,620 --> 00:10:14,780
to look at the world in that perspective

219
00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:17,630
and understanding how collaboration is

220
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:21,200
needed and necessary in order for us to

221
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,170
continue to have this planet as our home

222
00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:26,320
a place that we can all live together

223
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:29,990
you know it would be very important so

224
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:33,590
this type of an experience a shift in

225
00:10:39,850 --> 00:10:36,710
perspective is at the core of our

226
00:10:41,380 --> 00:10:39,860
decision-making and that's why people

227
00:10:43,930 --> 00:10:41,390
who are making very important decisions

228
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:43,940
would be great if we can have them have

229
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:46,010
this type of experience yeah I mean it

230
00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:48,770
sounds very idealist and today we have

231
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:50,630
institutions like the United Nations

232
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:53,810
which is kind of a mess right so that's

233
00:10:57,250 --> 00:10:55,370
why I'm trying to understand is how do

234
00:11:00,370 --> 00:10:57,260
we take this philosophical standpoint

235
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:00,380
and make it practical so it really makes

236
00:11:05,550 --> 00:11:04,040
a difference so we've had ideas I'm part

237
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:05,560
of a group of

238
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,710
no astronauts that because ourselves

239
00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:10,480
constellation and we want to grow this

240
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:13,480
group and we just actually announced our

241
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:15,490
work in trying to bring this experience

242
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:20,080
to everyone and there are technologies

243
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:23,950
like VR and AR that we can use there are

244
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:26,320
other ideas we have in educating people

245
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:28,210
and taking them through this journey

246
00:11:35,010 --> 00:11:31,690
that we went on but giving them slight

247
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:35,020
experiences through storytelling to help

248
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:36,790
them realize you talk about the movie

249
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:39,130
gravity and how it helps you get a

250
00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:41,710
glimpse of that so that's one movie but

251
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:44,140
are there more immersive experiences

252
00:11:49,410 --> 00:11:46,930
that we can create that will allow

253
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:49,420
someone who has not been on Space

254
00:11:56,070 --> 00:11:53,170
Station feel like they can see the world

255
00:11:58,650 --> 00:11:56,080
as a whole and experience that MA bottom

256
00:12:00,720 --> 00:11:58,660
line what is the shift that you're want

257
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:00,730
to achieve as far as people's thinking I

258
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:02,410
mean obviously generally speaking to

259
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:03,610
think more globally but what does that

260
00:12:10,380 --> 00:12:07,360
really mean so we live in United States

261
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:10,390
where we have access to a lot of things

262
00:12:16,770 --> 00:12:13,660
that's not part of everyday life of you

263
00:12:21,329 --> 00:12:16,780
know most of the people outside of this

264
00:12:25,410 --> 00:12:21,339
country we use energy we use earth's

265
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:25,420
resources not thinking about well how

266
00:12:29,610 --> 00:12:27,390
long can we continue at this pace

267
00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:29,620
consuming this without thinking

268
00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:33,190
long-term so it actually shifts your

269
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:35,200
point of view to be more conscious about

270
00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:38,770
your everyday decisions in helping you

271
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:43,000
think long-term think about yeah I can

272
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:45,010
decide that you know I don't care about

273
00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:47,410
how the rest of the world lives and I'll

274
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:50,380
continue to do what I'm doing but then

275
00:12:56,340 --> 00:12:53,350
understand that very shortly all of that

276
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:56,350
will basically impact you as well so

277
00:13:01,290 --> 00:12:58,240
it's not like we all live in our own

278
00:13:04,170 --> 00:13:01,300
cocoon and we're isolated from the rest

279
00:13:06,570 --> 00:13:04,180
of the world ignoring it doesn't make it

280
00:13:09,390 --> 00:13:06,580
go away we are interconnected whether we

281
00:13:10,610 --> 00:13:09,400
like it or not we are decisions impact

282
00:13:13,010 --> 00:13:10,620
everyone whether they rely

283
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:13,020
kid or not so realizing that

284
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:15,840
understanding it accepting it and making

285
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:18,330
it part of the everyday decision you

286
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:20,250
make it's important and it has different

287
00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:22,050
meanings for different people as I said

288
00:13:29,510 --> 00:13:25,590
someone who is a leader within a large

289
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:29,520
industry or for a country or someone

290
00:13:34,250 --> 00:13:32,010
who's represented by United Nations

291
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:34,260
you know the decisions they make have

292
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:36,330
huge impact in the world long term

293
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:38,880
impact so that prospective shift at that

294
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:43,500
level has a lot of meaning and long-term

295
00:13:49,790 --> 00:13:47,970
effect so it's important so is there a

296
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:49,800
virtual reality project that would give

297
00:13:54,970 --> 00:13:53,010
people that that feeling yes and yes we

298
00:13:57,770 --> 00:13:54,980
are working on a few things

299
00:14:00,590 --> 00:13:57,780
collaborating with you know a lot of

300
00:14:03,830 --> 00:14:00,600
artists scientists filmmakers

301
00:14:05,930 --> 00:14:03,840
storytellers we're thinking about maybe

302
00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:05,940
even create collective you know

303
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:08,580
experiences that people across the world

304
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:11,040
can connect to a be your experience

305
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:12,690
together and experiences together

306
00:14:17,630 --> 00:14:15,600
because one of the unique things being

307
00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:17,640
on the space station is that it's a

308
00:14:21,530 --> 00:14:19,680
collaborative effort between a lot of

309
00:14:24,490 --> 00:14:21,540
different nations so when I was there we

310
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:24,500
had two Russian cosmonauts we had

311
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:27,330
American Spanish astronaut we had a

312
00:14:34,490 --> 00:14:32,850
German astronaut and you know we spoke

313
00:14:37,850 --> 00:14:34,500
different languages we came from

314
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:37,860
completely different backgrounds some of

315
00:14:41,900 --> 00:14:39,630
us had trouble speaking the other

316
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:41,910
person's language different

317
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:44,310
personalities and yet we all came

318
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:47,070
together on this little home in space

319
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:50,880
and we worked well together man and we

320
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:53,010
figured out that we have to get along

321
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:55,170
we're earthlings we were Earthlings

322
00:15:01,490 --> 00:14:58,850
Earthlings on this spaceship you know

323
00:15:04,220 --> 00:15:01,500
orbiting the Earth you know it reminds

324
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:04,230
me of 9/11 as Horrible's that was is

325
00:15:09,050 --> 00:15:06,930
what the country was like after 9/11 and

326
00:15:12,260 --> 00:15:09,060
everybody really coming together albeit

327
00:15:14,750 --> 00:15:12,270
that's a country but bringing people

328
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:14,760
together there's nothing more important

329
00:15:20,780 --> 00:15:18,210
than that right and to all be Earthlings

330
00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:20,790
together is the way to look at it I

331
00:15:24,020 --> 00:15:22,350
think that that VR thing would be

332
00:15:25,970 --> 00:15:24,030
awesome especially here

333
00:15:28,190 --> 00:15:25,980
about that you get a sunrise and sunset

334
00:15:31,310 --> 00:15:28,200
every 90 minutes you will you do a full

335
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:31,320
loop around in 90 minutes yeah right so

336
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:33,690
how long is the sunrise and how long is

337
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:35,610
the sunset if it's taking you 90 minutes

338
00:15:40,580 --> 00:15:38,070
it's momentarily so you just you know

339
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:40,590
get a glimpse of it but you know the

340
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:43,770
colors are as beautiful you know as you

341
00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:45,990
can see it in any sunset or sunrise here

342
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:48,180
on earth but a little different and it

343
00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:51,660
goes very quickly so you've achieved

344
00:15:57,710 --> 00:15:53,940
your dream what I'm really curious about

345
00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:57,720
is would obviously you want to go again

346
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:00,240
do you want to go again as strongly as

347
00:16:03,980 --> 00:16:01,680
you wanted to go the first time in other

348
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:03,990
words are you willing to die there I go

349
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:06,570
again I am still willing to go if there

350
00:16:14,450 --> 00:16:10,350
is a mission to actually start maybe a

351
00:16:16,430 --> 00:16:14,460
new habitation on the moon on Mars

352
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:16,440
I believe we first need to go to the

353
00:16:23,540 --> 00:16:19,440
moon I'll be happy to go as part of the

354
00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:23,550
first crew and and start it off I just

355
00:16:29,270 --> 00:16:25,860
felt you can become a Martian you're

356
00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:29,280
going to betray us I'll be an earth

357
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:32,600
person you'll be an Earth Martian

358
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:37,110
earthling Martian yes no I I my desire

359
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:39,930
has intensified it and I would love to

360
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:45,180
go back yeah so right now they've the

361
00:16:51,230 --> 00:16:47,250
next mission for someone who wants to be

362
00:16:53,060 --> 00:16:51,240
a space explorer is how soon when's the

363
00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:53,070
earliest somebody could become a space

364
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:57,120
explorer well there are still seats that

365
00:17:03,290 --> 00:16:59,010
are commercially available anyone who

366
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:03,300
wants to go I've heard of a I believe

367
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:05,970
Japanese businessman who's planning to

368
00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:12,089
do a nooner trip with Elon I also know

369
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:14,550
that the lunar trip mean landing no

370
00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:16,560
there right now they're only planning to

371
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:20,640
just do as circumlunar trip which which

372
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:23,670
you did not do I did not do yeah no I

373
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:26,310
would love to go out and land on them of

374
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:30,480
course why not but there's also we just

375
00:17:36,530 --> 00:17:34,140
I was in Mojave where Virgin Galactic

376
00:17:38,450 --> 00:17:36,540
did a successful test flight

377
00:17:41,570 --> 00:17:38,460
and actually I love what they're doing

378
00:17:43,490 --> 00:17:41,580
because it's a very short trip it will

379
00:17:46,010 --> 00:17:43,500
give you a glimpse of space you spend

380
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:46,020
five minutes weightless and see the

381
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:49,350
blackness of this the space and the sky

382
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:53,610
and you know it will help you you know

383
00:17:57,860 --> 00:17:55,260
get a sense of what it means to be in

384
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:57,870
space and it's because of the fact that

385
00:18:02,240 --> 00:17:59,250
it doesn't require a lot of training

386
00:18:04,340 --> 00:18:02,250
anyone can do it and it will be become

387
00:18:07,450 --> 00:18:04,350
more and more affordable to add that's

388
00:18:11,180 --> 00:18:07,460
kind of the least expensive right now

389
00:18:13,130 --> 00:18:11,190
well right nice $250,000 I believe more

390
00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:13,140
equivalent and the whole trip is only a

391
00:18:20,060 --> 00:18:16,830
few hours yes a few hours and about five

392
00:18:22,130 --> 00:18:20,070
minutes of that you're in space so you

393
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:22,140
don't even get the whole sunrise sunset

394
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:25,110
thing no no you take off from the same

395
00:18:29,330 --> 00:18:27,090
location you land the same location you

396
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:29,340
basically go out of the atmosphere and

397
00:18:35,150 --> 00:18:32,730
then you just return so compared to how

398
00:18:40,790 --> 00:18:35,160
far from Earth were you compared to that

399
00:18:45,890 --> 00:18:40,800
trip so that's about 60 mods or so and I

400
00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:45,900
went to 220 months and tell me what is

401
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:47,070
going on with the International Space

402
00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:50,610
Station so International Space Station

403
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:54,000
originally was put together by about 15

404
00:19:01,010 --> 00:18:56,880
countries it was supposed to last for 15

405
00:19:02,990 --> 00:19:01,020
years the life time of that has been

406
00:19:06,590 --> 00:19:03,000
extended of course so it's still you

407
00:19:09,170 --> 00:19:06,600
know orbiting and being a home for a lot

408
00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:09,180
of experiments and it used to be that

409
00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:11,190
the shuttle would dock there yeah so

410
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:13,440
should the shuttle was actually made if

411
00:19:19,850 --> 00:19:15,810
you looked at the shuttle most of it was

412
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:19,860
like a cargo ship where it was designed

413
00:19:23,870 --> 00:19:21,930
to carry pieces of the space space was

414
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:23,880
sorry so the space station was built by

415
00:19:28,340 --> 00:19:26,370
the shuttles the shuttle carry tsa's of

416
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:28,350
the space station and in other countries

417
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:31,350
have shuttles no but the other countries

418
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:34,080
also launched some pieces and then they

419
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:35,910
also launched some pieces with the

420
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:38,130
shuttle so the Russians actually

421
00:19:43,070 --> 00:19:40,230
launched the first part of the space

422
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:43,080
station without the shuttle and so

423
00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:45,530
different pieces from Canada

424
00:19:50,860 --> 00:19:48,560
European Space Agency from us from

425
00:19:52,750 --> 00:19:50,870
Russia they were all sort of launched

426
00:19:54,910 --> 00:19:52,760
into space through the shuttle or other

427
00:19:57,490 --> 00:19:54,920
programs and you know actually we're

428
00:19:59,410 --> 00:19:57,500
assembled in space so imagine if all

429
00:20:01,360 --> 00:19:59,420
these nations can build things and

430
00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:01,370
assemble them in space well I can't be

431
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:03,560
figure out what torque now whereas you

432
00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:05,180
didn't go up in a space shuttle you know

433
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:06,950
I've been on rocket yes

434
00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:10,790
a Russian rocket and none of that rocket

435
00:20:16,090 --> 00:20:13,280
exists anymore right it all goes bye-bye

436
00:20:17,890 --> 00:20:16,100
yes it's not reusable and that's part of

437
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:17,900
the reason why it's expensive and why

438
00:20:23,860 --> 00:20:20,690
the work of companies like SpaceX or

439
00:20:26,140 --> 00:20:23,870
Blue Origin to create reusable access to

440
00:20:28,990 --> 00:20:26,150
space is important because it reduces

441
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:29,000
the cost and it makes it safer because

442
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:31,130
we can reuse it and do it more often

443
00:20:36,370 --> 00:20:33,890
and it opens up a whole new way of maybe

444
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:36,380
using space resources to help solve our

445
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:38,450
problem here on earth so the technology

446
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,090
that you were in was not current

447
00:20:45,820 --> 00:20:43,520
technology right it was all technology

448
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:45,830
it was all technology it was I launched

449
00:20:49,690 --> 00:20:47,510
from the same place Yuri Gagarin the

450
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:49,700
first man who went to space launch bomb

451
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:52,010
so a lot of the technology Kazakhstan in

452
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:54,320
Kazakhstan if you look at his launch and

453
00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:56,450
look at my launch there's not a lot of

454
00:21:01,390 --> 00:20:58,480
difference basically when you look at it

455
00:21:02,740 --> 00:21:01,400
so now how about the landing because I

456
00:21:05,290 --> 00:21:02,750
saw your landing it looked a little

457
00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:05,300
rough yes people people need to see this

458
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:07,820
they can see it on the documentary is it

459
00:21:12,910 --> 00:21:09,470
was it two space tourists yes

460
00:21:14,350 --> 00:21:12,920
documentary yes but first of all why

461
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:14,360
didn't you guys land in the water that's

462
00:21:18,670 --> 00:21:16,310
where the Apollo used to land right yes

463
00:21:20,830 --> 00:21:18,680
so because these are these launches

464
00:21:23,140 --> 00:21:20,840
happen from Kazakhstan there's not a lot

465
00:21:28,570 --> 00:21:23,150
of large bodies of water right next you

466
00:21:32,170 --> 00:21:28,580
find a lake yes so it's a landing on the

467
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:32,180
ground so it's a little rough I mean how

468
00:21:35,620 --> 00:21:33,410
fast were you guys going it almost

469
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:35,630
looked like the parachute wasn't working

470
00:21:40,990 --> 00:21:38,450
I mean that was serious impact right yes

471
00:21:44,020 --> 00:21:41,000
were you expecting that I thought that

472
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:44,030
it would be softer but but I was warned

473
00:21:49,990 --> 00:21:47,030
that it will be impact for it I describe

474
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:50,000
it it felt like a car crash yeah so I

475
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:53,170
had actually bruises from my

476
00:22:00,210 --> 00:21:56,710
seat belt the harness on because of the

477
00:22:02,490 --> 00:22:00,220
landing but you know it's part of you

478
00:22:05,610 --> 00:22:02,500
know the fun of going to space so when

479
00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:05,620
you came back did you have the Sandra

480
00:22:09,690 --> 00:22:08,590
Bullock feeling of kissing Earth I

481
00:22:11,490 --> 00:22:09,700
missed you so much

482
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:11,500
or were you kind of feeling more at home

483
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:14,260
where you were good question

484
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:17,890
I actually I was sad I was sad that I

485
00:22:23,910 --> 00:22:20,470
was back on earth not that I didn't miss

486
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:23,920
earth because the smells of the ground

487
00:22:29,730 --> 00:22:26,920
and the early morning Sun and the breeze

488
00:22:31,710 --> 00:22:29,740
was really special

489
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:31,720
when I first first pulled out of the

490
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:35,530
capsule but at the same time I mean all

491
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:38,170
of my life I had this like big dream of

492
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:40,870
going to space and you know here I was I

493
00:22:46,980 --> 00:22:42,970
had just come back and I finished it and

494
00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:46,990
I'm like okay what do I do now so and I

495
00:22:51,540 --> 00:22:49,420
missed it I and and part of not being a

496
00:22:53,220 --> 00:22:51,550
professional astronaut it meant that I

497
00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:53,230
didn't know if there will be another

498
00:22:56,430 --> 00:22:54,640
mission if you're a professional

499
00:22:58,770 --> 00:22:56,440
astronaut you land and you think okay

500
00:23:00,990 --> 00:22:58,780
I'm gonna work on my next mission but

501
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:01,000
for me it was like you know will I be

502
00:23:06,150 --> 00:23:03,610
able able to experience that again and

503
00:23:09,630 --> 00:23:06,160
not knowing it was hard I was really

504
00:23:11,850 --> 00:23:09,640
depressed and sad but you got 11 days up

505
00:23:14,610 --> 00:23:11,860
there which is not bad compared to

506
00:23:17,610 --> 00:23:14,620
others and then speaking of smell you

507
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:17,620
talked about the smell of space yes I've

508
00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:19,210
never thought about the smell of space

509
00:23:25,950 --> 00:23:23,260
before but tell us about that so when we

510
00:23:28,290 --> 00:23:25,960
first talked to the space station you

511
00:23:30,930 --> 00:23:28,300
know the two sides come together and

512
00:23:32,610 --> 00:23:30,940
because of the way that the hatches are

513
00:23:34,980 --> 00:23:32,620
shaped there's sort of like you

514
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:34,990
encapsulate part of space between the

515
00:23:40,650 --> 00:23:37,570
two doors before they open and usually

516
00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:40,660
you open the hatch on the Soyuz side

517
00:23:44,730 --> 00:23:43,270
first so my crewmates had fun with me

518
00:23:46,530 --> 00:23:44,740
they said you know I know come and

519
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:46,540
you can't smell space I'm like humble I

520
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:48,520
smell spaces and I've just come here

521
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:50,710
when you open the door there's a space

522
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:53,290
between the two doors so when they open

523
00:23:57,420 --> 00:23:55,090
then I smelled it they said okay so what

524
00:24:00,150 --> 00:23:57,430
do you smell and I said well it smells

525
00:24:02,460 --> 00:24:00,160
like a burnt almond cookie and they're

526
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:02,470
like burnt almond cookies and that

527
00:24:05,180 --> 00:24:04,270
actually became part of my blog that

528
00:24:08,150 --> 00:24:05,190
everyone's like

529
00:24:11,090 --> 00:24:08,160
burnt all my cookie and later on others

530
00:24:13,790 --> 00:24:11,100
don't agree with that well because I was

531
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:13,800
so specific why and then I tried to

532
00:24:17,930 --> 00:24:15,810
figure out why and I realized that

533
00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:17,940
there's a little bit of a cyanide in

534
00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:21,840
there in the you know the fuel that they

535
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:24,480
used to burn the trusters and that

536
00:24:30,860 --> 00:24:27,930
almonds now comes from that little

537
00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:30,870
cyanide that's in a few and then it was

538
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:32,400
because of this so you did necessarily

539
00:24:36,260 --> 00:24:34,050
small space you smelled stuff coming out

540
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:36,270
of the space they say yes out of the

541
00:24:40,490 --> 00:24:38,610
trusters the way we were docking to

542
00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:40,500
space station so that's why it smelled

543
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:44,400
like that but yes so that the

544
00:24:47,870 --> 00:24:45,660
International Space Station is the only

545
00:24:50,060 --> 00:24:47,880
space station up there yes okay because

546
00:24:51,410 --> 00:24:50,070
I wanted to fact-check gravity the movie

547
00:24:53,770 --> 00:24:51,420
a little bit because they talked about a

548
00:24:56,660 --> 00:24:53,780
Chinese space no actually yes so that

549
00:24:58,670 --> 00:24:56,670
the space station the international

550
00:25:02,270 --> 00:24:58,680
space station there is one China has

551
00:25:04,940 --> 00:25:02,280
launched their station also in the past

552
00:25:08,930 --> 00:25:04,950
that you know it's only used by the

553
00:25:11,870 --> 00:25:08,940
Chinese astronauts and they've done

554
00:25:13,430 --> 00:25:11,880
their own experiments so one of the

555
00:25:15,860 --> 00:25:13,440
things that we haven't done a good job

556
00:25:18,170 --> 00:25:15,870
is actually collaborating with the

557
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:18,180
Chinese in our space program so I'm

558
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:21,410
hoping that it will happen what about

559
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:22,890
George Clooney

560
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:25,110
you know you zoom in around out there I

561
00:25:30,590 --> 00:25:27,600
mean that that's that's real or the

562
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:30,600
other space suits yes you have you have

563
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:33,210
jetpacks that you can actually maneuver

564
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:36,330
and fly independently in a space suit

565
00:25:41,630 --> 00:25:38,280
was any of that happening while you were

566
00:25:44,270 --> 00:25:41,640
on the space station there were no

567
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:44,280
spacewalks when I was on during those 11

568
00:25:48,770 --> 00:25:46,710
days but there has been spacewalks in

569
00:25:50,930 --> 00:25:48,780
the space what's happened all the time

570
00:25:54,190 --> 00:25:50,940
where there's to repair something to

571
00:25:57,170 --> 00:25:54,200
install a new instrument for experiments

572
00:25:59,210 --> 00:25:57,180
so it happens all the time I would love

573
00:26:02,090 --> 00:25:59,220
to do a spacewalk but I've never done

574
00:26:03,890 --> 00:26:02,100
one yeah that costs a little bit more it

575
00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:03,900
doesn't it requires a lot more training

576
00:26:07,910 --> 00:26:05,340
yeah well that was another question I

577
00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:07,920
have for you so in the movie you've got

578
00:26:11,090 --> 00:26:09,720
Clooney is the experienced astronaut and

579
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:11,100
Sandra Bullock I'm not sure exactly what

580
00:26:16,190 --> 00:26:12,570
her training was but clearly it was less

581
00:26:18,260 --> 00:26:16,200
but she manages without George to get

582
00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:18,270
back to earth and and fly this thing

583
00:26:20,270 --> 00:26:18,900
over to the

584
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:20,280
Chinese shuttle and then get on that and

585
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:22,410
get but I was just curious what training

586
00:26:25,790 --> 00:26:24,090
would you have had I mean of somehow

587
00:26:28,460 --> 00:26:25,800
something horrible had happened up there

588
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:28,470
and you got to get back would you have

589
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:30,090
had the skill set to figure out how to

590
00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:34,650
get back so anyone who tries or flies to

591
00:26:38,030 --> 00:26:36,270
space they have to go to the same

592
00:26:42,020 --> 00:26:38,040
training so I went to the same training

593
00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:42,030
as the astronauts did but you know in in

594
00:26:45,530 --> 00:26:43,710
your movie example Clooney is a

595
00:26:48,530 --> 00:26:45,540
commander so they went through a lot

596
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:48,540
longer training more intense training

597
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:51,720
and Sandra is the sort of a scientist

598
00:26:56,420 --> 00:26:54,570
who's on this mission and in the real

599
00:26:59,840 --> 00:26:56,430
world we call it the spaceflight

600
00:27:02,480 --> 00:26:59,850
participants so people who you know

601
00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:02,490
still have a mission and they go as a

602
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:04,860
full astronaut but they have like a

603
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:06,450
scientific mission for example to

604
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:09,510
accomplish so I trained as a you know

605
00:27:14,930 --> 00:27:12,090
spaceflight participant I spent about a

606
00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:14,940
year in Russia training preparing for

607
00:27:19,250 --> 00:27:16,400
the flights at the same training that

608
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:19,260
astronauts go through and learn how to

609
00:27:25,460 --> 00:27:22,530
operate the instruments inside the Soyuz

610
00:27:28,550 --> 00:27:25,470
on the space station one thing about the

611
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:28,560
Soyuz is that and that's why it's the

612
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:31,890
scape capsule for the space station is

613
00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:35,130
that you basically as a last resort if

614
00:27:40,610 --> 00:27:36,870
everything goes wrong you press a button

615
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:40,620
and it just you know heads back home and

616
00:27:46,580 --> 00:27:43,110
it lands on earth that's what you used

617
00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:46,590
if if it's an emergency it will just you

618
00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:49,200
can have that emergency landing it will

619
00:27:54,830 --> 00:27:51,780
not be pleasant it will be very rough

620
00:27:56,630 --> 00:27:54,840
the g-forces we'll be extreme so when

621
00:27:59,450 --> 00:27:56,640
you land you won't be able to just get

622
00:28:01,010 --> 00:27:59,460
out like Sandra Bullock and walk so you

623
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:01,020
would be a little bit unconscious which

624
00:28:06,770 --> 00:28:03,930
I used in the movie the escape what did

625
00:28:09,950 --> 00:28:06,780
you use so I we came back with the Soyuz

626
00:28:12,740 --> 00:28:09,960
as well but we came to a planned landing

627
00:28:14,780 --> 00:28:12,750
so when you do a planned landing you do

628
00:28:17,930 --> 00:28:14,790
couple of orbits and then you come down

629
00:28:20,750 --> 00:28:17,940
slower so your trajectory is in a way

630
00:28:23,180 --> 00:28:20,760
that you have less g-forces on your body

631
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:23,190
so even though it's a rough landing it's

632
00:28:28,730 --> 00:28:25,590
you know compared to the alternative

633
00:28:31,010 --> 00:28:28,740
emergency landing it's a pleasant easier

634
00:28:33,290 --> 00:28:31,020
softer land so how many people have done

635
00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:33,300
the trip that you've done

636
00:28:39,450 --> 00:28:37,360
as a passenger paying passenger as the

637
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:39,460
paying passenger I think seven

638
00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:43,510
passengers so far and who's selling

639
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:47,350
those tickets space adventure was the

640
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:49,780
company who negotiated with the Russians

641
00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:51,610
the first person who went was Dennis

642
00:28:59,280 --> 00:28:54,790
Tito who is a very famous businessman

643
00:29:02,160 --> 00:28:59,290
here actually in California and he

644
00:29:04,950 --> 00:29:02,170
worked with space adventures and they

645
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:04,960
managed to negotiate the first contract

646
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:06,250
with the Russian space so they're

647
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:08,650
essentially middlemen they yes they buy

648
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:10,480
the seats and then they sell the seat

649
00:29:14,370 --> 00:29:12,850
who want to go uh-huh and they make sure

650
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:14,380
they're always at full capacity and they

651
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:18,430
discount the prices and the prices have

652
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:21,010
gone up because you know because there's

653
00:29:25,980 --> 00:29:23,530
no longer a shuttle program now actually

654
00:29:28,410 --> 00:29:25,990
NASA astronauts buy tickets on the

655
00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:28,420
Russian space interesting through the

656
00:29:33,870 --> 00:29:31,120
same company no they buy directly so

657
00:29:35,910 --> 00:29:33,880
they get a bulk discount but that the

658
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:35,920
point is that a lot of the seats are now

659
00:29:42,290 --> 00:29:39,930
sold to European Space Agency and NASA

660
00:29:45,570 --> 00:29:42,300
so they're not a lot of seats for

661
00:29:49,380 --> 00:29:45,580
commercial passengers so the u.s. right

662
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:49,390
now NASA could not send a rocket up to

663
00:29:53,850 --> 00:29:51,490
the US they are working on their own

664
00:29:57,660 --> 00:29:53,860
rockets so there's something similar to

665
00:30:00,720 --> 00:29:57,670
the Atlas Rockets so the design of what

666
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:00,730
NASA is working on is going back to the

667
00:30:07,530 --> 00:30:04,210
Apollo type of capsule and rockets but

668
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:07,540
reusable rockets they also contract with

669
00:30:13,410 --> 00:30:11,170
companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX

670
00:30:16,650 --> 00:30:13,420
so there's a commercial program now

671
00:30:19,980 --> 00:30:16,660
building you know launches to the space

672
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:19,990
station so for example SpaceX has the

673
00:30:25,350 --> 00:30:22,570
Dragon capsule even though it hasn't

674
00:30:27,630 --> 00:30:25,360
carried passengers it is built to carry

675
00:30:31,230 --> 00:30:27,640
passengers an astronaut to space station

676
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:31,240
so I think they have plans to do

677
00:30:36,060 --> 00:30:34,090
actually a manned space flight in the

678
00:30:37,410 --> 00:30:36,070
next couple of years I believe so what

679
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:37,420
would you say is the most important

680
00:30:41,070 --> 00:30:38,770
thing happening at that space station

681
00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:41,080
right now it might say right now not

682
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:42,640
literally today but you know in general

683
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:45,130
in the past couple years and going for

684
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:48,070
what are they doing it's a lot of their

685
00:30:53,580 --> 00:30:50,110
two types of research that I think is

686
00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:53,590
very important one research is regarding

687
00:30:58,650 --> 00:30:55,440
a lot of medical and health-related

688
00:31:01,530 --> 00:30:58,660
research because in the microgravity of

689
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:01,540
space you can design a lot of new

690
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:03,730
treatments and drugs and you know you

691
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:06,130
can form crystals that you can form here

692
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:08,410
on earth so there's a lot of health and

693
00:31:12,930 --> 00:31:10,570
health is that because of zero gravity

694
00:31:15,060 --> 00:31:12,940
yes the microgravity but we can't create

695
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:15,070
zero gravity on earth to do the same no

696
00:31:22,070 --> 00:31:19,390
no these suborbital flights for example

697
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:22,080
are also interesting ways of doing

698
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:25,330
experiments you know in basically the

699
00:31:30,570 --> 00:31:27,070
plane goes into a deep dive to create

700
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:30,580
zero gravity yeah so so that's one area

701
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:32,650
the other area is we're doing a lot of

702
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:35,110
experiments so with closed loop systems

703
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:37,030
because if you want to create a base on

704
00:31:42,750 --> 00:31:40,050
Moon or Mars we need to be able to

705
00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:42,760
sustain life without having to carry

706
00:31:47,580 --> 00:31:44,710
things constantly from Earth of course

707
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:47,590
that would you know work so creating

708
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:50,710
closed loop systems where we can you

709
00:31:57,090 --> 00:31:54,370
know generate enough food energy water

710
00:31:59,550 --> 00:31:57,100
and other means that's to sustain life

711
00:32:01,770 --> 00:31:59,560
without having to bring external

712
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:01,780
resources it's another set of

713
00:32:06,540 --> 00:32:03,610
experiences and experiments that's

714
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:06,550
happening on space station so going back

715
00:32:12,180 --> 00:32:08,410
to fact checking gravity in the movie

716
00:32:15,630 --> 00:32:12,190
Russia shoots down its own satellite

717
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:15,640
I think supposedly because there's it's

718
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:17,410
gone bad or there's information they

719
00:32:22,770 --> 00:32:20,290
want to get rid of first of all is that

720
00:32:25,770 --> 00:32:22,780
is it possible for to shoot down a

721
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:25,780
satellite from Earth you wouldn't shoot

722
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:27,760
down you would just disabled so it will

723
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:30,850
deorbit and burn down and in space so I

724
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:33,310
think so a lot of things that happen in

725
00:32:37,410 --> 00:32:35,830
the movie gravity it can happen the fact

726
00:32:39,270 --> 00:32:37,420
that it all happened and everything was

727
00:32:40,910 --> 00:32:39,280
so close and you could jump from one to

728
00:32:43,950 --> 00:32:40,920
the other that part of it was not

729
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:43,960
necessarily true but you know the space

730
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:45,490
station the depiction of the space

731
00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:47,290
station the inside of space station a

732
00:32:51,180 --> 00:32:49,390
lot of the scenery were you know

733
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:51,190
actually things that were provided by

734
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:53,170
them it is it orbiting where all the

735
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:54,610
satellites are orbiting or is that all

736
00:32:59,400 --> 00:32:57,370
different different levels so

737
00:33:01,860 --> 00:32:59,410
depending on the satellites they orbit

738
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:01,870
at different levels so the geostationary

739
00:33:07,380 --> 00:33:04,930
satellites are much higher so they can

740
00:33:09,980 --> 00:33:07,390
stay over the same place on earth as the

741
00:33:13,260 --> 00:33:09,990
earth move so it's in the same location

742
00:33:16,290 --> 00:33:13,270
and you have low Earth orbit satellites

743
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:16,300
that would then you know basically cover

744
00:33:22,770 --> 00:33:18,970
a larger area of Earth so they can do

745
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:22,780
imagery and surveillance over wider area

746
00:33:27,150 --> 00:33:25,330
but not all the time and then you have

747
00:33:30,410 --> 00:33:27,160
constellation of satellites that are

748
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:30,420
used for communication for broadcasting

749
00:33:35,730 --> 00:33:34,210
for different activities GPS satellite

750
00:33:38,610 --> 00:33:35,740
system you have military satellite

751
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:38,620
system it's very busy up there yeah so

752
00:33:43,290 --> 00:33:40,450
one of our satellites you're up there I

753
00:33:45,330 --> 00:33:43,300
don't know I don't know and the numbers

754
00:33:47,850 --> 00:33:45,340
are increasing because now you have nano

755
00:33:49,890 --> 00:33:47,860
SATs and CubeSat this really small

756
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:49,900
satellites I mean high school students

757
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:51,610
are building satellites now and you can

758
00:33:55,260 --> 00:33:53,530
launch them easily

759
00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:55,270
they're very satellites that were

760
00:33:58,620 --> 00:33:57,190
experimental satellites by high school

761
00:34:00,510 --> 00:33:58,630
suits that were launched from the space

762
00:34:04,919 --> 00:34:00,520
station actually just you know sort of

763
00:34:08,730 --> 00:34:04,929
shot out of back up the space station so

764
00:34:11,310 --> 00:34:08,740
the whole orbital debris issue is

765
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:11,320
becoming a big issue because in space

766
00:34:15,330 --> 00:34:13,330
even a smallest thing that would hit the

767
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:15,340
hall of the space station can create a

768
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:18,399
hole and create a lot of problems has it

769
00:34:22,830 --> 00:34:19,810
ever been hit by anything you know yes

770
00:34:25,590 --> 00:34:22,840
yes there has been incidents and what is

771
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:25,600
the debris from a comet or something it

772
00:34:32,669 --> 00:34:29,710
could be pieces of you know space debris

773
00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:32,679
from a satellite the orbiting could be

774
00:34:38,940 --> 00:34:35,470
just it's been hit more than once or yes

775
00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:38,950
Wow and depending on the speed of these

776
00:34:43,409 --> 00:34:41,320
things you know even a small rock can

777
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:43,419
make a hole because the hall is not that

778
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:45,610
thick actually the whole of the space

779
00:34:49,919 --> 00:34:48,010
station so there has been issues things

780
00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:49,929
hitting the end dissolve any way of

781
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:55,030
detecting that incoming some the bigger

782
00:35:00,450 --> 00:34:58,210
pieces yes smaller pieces know if

783
00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:00,460
there's a big piece of space debris or

784
00:35:05,849 --> 00:35:03,040
something coming there's a ability to

785
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:05,859
maneuver a little bit to change orbit a

786
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:08,050
little bit and maneuver around objects

787
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:09,190
but

788
00:35:16,290 --> 00:35:13,330
not easy so the dangers are there in

789
00:35:17,910 --> 00:35:16,300
space there's a lot of collaboration

790
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:17,920
between different entities to make sure

791
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:20,290
things don't collide in space a lot of

792
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:22,090
these big satellite communication

793
00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:24,850
satellites are expensive so they're

794
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:27,190
they're standards where there is

795
00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:29,050
communication between different

796
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:31,750
countries to make sure that they stay in

797
00:35:34,620 --> 00:35:33,880
the same you know place they're supposed

798
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:34,630
to

799
00:35:42,210 --> 00:35:37,710
when they need an FAA of space

800
00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:42,220
right but it doesn't really exist not

801
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:44,710
the FAA of space but there is you know

802
00:35:49,350 --> 00:35:47,260
the same way that lots of different

803
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:49,360
governments collaborate regarding

804
00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:51,760
resources in Antarctica I mean are the

805
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:53,230
rules like for instance okay these type

806
00:35:55,890 --> 00:35:54,490
of satellites are supposed to fly from

807
00:35:58,110 --> 00:35:55,900
here to here and these from here to here

808
00:36:00,090 --> 00:35:58,120
yeah you register your orbit so there is

809
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:00,100
a database of where all the satellites

810
00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:02,530
are which orbit and what is that entity

811
00:36:09,260 --> 00:36:06,220
that's regulating this it's more of a

812
00:36:12,150 --> 00:36:09,270
registration I think it's managed by

813
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:12,160
United Nation and I cannot remember the

814
00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:14,770
name right now mm-hmm but it's it's

815
00:36:19,770 --> 00:36:17,200
there it's there so you have this dream

816
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:19,780
that all the countries are gonna come

817
00:36:24,990 --> 00:36:22,090
together and work together in space to

818
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:25,000
create all the citizens I ain't seen it

819
00:36:33,570 --> 00:36:28,540
I mean I'm seeing a space war I mean how

820
00:36:35,250 --> 00:36:33,580
do we avoid it being a space work and it

821
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:35,260
aren't we already in a space where I

822
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:38,530
don't think we're in a space war

823
00:36:46,770 --> 00:36:43,810
I think governments are using some of

824
00:36:51,780 --> 00:36:46,780
the space resources to gather

825
00:36:55,290 --> 00:36:51,790
intelligence but we have not weaponized

826
00:36:59,130 --> 00:36:55,300
space yet I hope we never swept in a

827
00:37:04,880 --> 00:36:59,140
space no one will win no one will win in

828
00:37:08,250 --> 00:37:04,890
that war and it's short-sighted it's I

829
00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:08,260
mean just if we were to learn from

830
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:11,920
history name one war that we can say the

831
00:37:17,170 --> 00:37:14,450
result was good and there is

832
00:37:19,870 --> 00:37:17,180
there's never a good outcome from any

833
00:37:23,890 --> 00:37:19,880
war and they can be prevented and what

834
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:23,900
do we fight over money money I mean

835
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:25,730
there's a lot of money to be gained by

836
00:37:29,589 --> 00:37:27,770
being first in space at various things

837
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:29,599
and now we have private enterprise

838
00:37:35,049 --> 00:37:33,410
involved so whenever you got money at

839
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:35,059
stake people tend to fight but if you

840
00:37:39,460 --> 00:37:37,130
destroyed the thing that you would spend

841
00:37:41,589 --> 00:37:39,470
your money on well what good does it do

842
00:37:43,750 --> 00:37:41,599
if you have if I have billions of

843
00:37:46,030 --> 00:37:43,760
dollars but the entire earth is now

844
00:37:49,089 --> 00:37:46,040
destroyed what would I spend the money

845
00:37:52,990 --> 00:37:49,099
on yeah where would I drive my brand-new

846
00:37:55,210 --> 00:37:53,000
I don't know Tesla or Ferrari - I mean

847
00:37:57,130 --> 00:37:55,220
yeah well I mean let's put war aside but

848
00:37:58,750 --> 00:37:57,140
space race yeah you know we have a space

849
00:38:00,670 --> 00:37:58,760
race going on

850
00:38:03,370 --> 00:38:00,680
that's about money and that's about

851
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,380
power and you know China very proudly

852
00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:05,359
announcing control it's not it's not

853
00:38:11,620 --> 00:38:07,430
just about money it's about control and

854
00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:11,630
fear and right now I know for whatever

855
00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:14,240
reason if you look at the early days of

856
00:38:18,010 --> 00:38:15,470
space program

857
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:18,020
you know Sputnik was launched created

858
00:38:21,940 --> 00:38:20,089
fear because we didn't understand what

859
00:38:24,190 --> 00:38:21,950
is this thing beeping over our head and

860
00:38:26,650 --> 00:38:24,200
whether it's you know capturing our

861
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:26,660
information you know sending brain waves

862
00:38:32,049 --> 00:38:30,530
to brainwash us we had no idea humans

863
00:38:35,530 --> 00:38:32,059
are afraid of things they don't

864
00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:35,540
understand on control so it instigated

865
00:38:42,370 --> 00:38:39,680
this race which actually advanced a lot

866
00:38:45,130 --> 00:38:42,380
of technologies in us and and you know

867
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:45,140
the space race resulted in advancement

868
00:38:49,809 --> 00:38:47,690
in technology at the end of what

869
00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:49,819
happened is actually space program

870
00:38:59,500 --> 00:38:53,630
historically has been a place where we

871
00:39:02,940 --> 00:38:59,510
use it to actually resolve conflict so

872
00:39:08,260 --> 00:39:02,950
where there was the docking of the space

873
00:39:13,210 --> 00:39:08,270
of the shuttle with Mir or coming

874
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:13,220
together of you know Russian space

875
00:39:19,630 --> 00:39:16,490
assets with us-based asset astronauts

876
00:39:25,020 --> 00:39:19,640
have been you know people who would help

877
00:39:27,870 --> 00:39:25,030
negotiate conflict areas so in general

878
00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:27,880
you know space has been a unifying

879
00:39:31,109 --> 00:39:29,680
factor certainly compared to ours

880
00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:31,119
certainly compared to what's going on a

881
00:39:35,970 --> 00:39:33,430
nurse is right right right so even in

882
00:39:38,220 --> 00:39:35,980
nations in conflict when you talk to the

883
00:39:40,980 --> 00:39:38,230
astronauts and the space program they

884
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:40,990
find ways to work together so right now

885
00:39:49,109 --> 00:39:46,089
the race is between US and China and if

886
00:39:51,809 --> 00:39:49,119
you look at this race again same thing

887
00:39:55,349 --> 00:39:51,819
that happened in the past I don't see

888
00:39:57,569 --> 00:39:55,359
what is gained by you know elevating

889
00:39:59,519 --> 00:39:57,579
conflict between US and China nobody

890
00:40:01,230 --> 00:39:59,529
wins so you mentioned that there's a

891
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:01,240
Chinese space station out there that it

892
00:40:03,690 --> 00:40:02,410
doesn't seem to interact with the other

893
00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:03,700
countries and sounds like you've raised

894
00:40:12,799 --> 00:40:11,249
from my understanding which is limited

895
00:40:15,870 --> 00:40:12,809
because I'm not in the space program

896
00:40:18,450 --> 00:40:15,880
that there has been interest to

897
00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:18,460
collaborate but there is a resistance on

898
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:23,680
the US side to collaborate I think by

899
00:40:28,829 --> 00:40:26,259
collaborating we learn from each other

900
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:28,839
and we learn about what is the other

901
00:40:33,289 --> 00:40:31,450
person up to but by saying no I don't

902
00:40:35,490 --> 00:40:33,299
want to work with you well then you just

903
00:40:38,279 --> 00:40:35,500
don't know what they're working on and

904
00:40:40,319 --> 00:40:38,289
then you won't be able you will make up

905
00:40:42,630 --> 00:40:40,329
your own story and we usually the

906
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:42,640
stories we make are horrible they're not

907
00:40:46,529 --> 00:40:44,650
good but if you're there and you're you

908
00:40:49,589 --> 00:40:46,539
are allowed to actually go to a Chinese

909
00:40:51,420 --> 00:40:49,599
Space Station and be there and see what

910
00:40:52,769 --> 00:40:51,430
the experience they're running why not

911
00:40:56,339 --> 00:40:52,779
what's wrong with that

912
00:41:00,630 --> 00:40:56,349
why not send the US astronaut to a

913
00:41:02,970 --> 00:41:00,640
Russian space station or why not have a

914
00:41:04,529 --> 00:41:02,980
Chinese astronaut come to an

915
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:04,539
International Space Station so you

916
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:06,730
believe we're invited to the Chinese

917
00:41:12,660 --> 00:41:09,970
space station I believe saying no yeah I

918
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:12,670
bet you if we if not a lot of volunteer

919
00:41:18,210 --> 00:41:15,490
to be the US representative I would but

920
00:41:20,490 --> 00:41:18,220
I I'm sure there are other NASA

921
00:41:23,309 --> 00:41:20,500
professional NASA astronaut that would

922
00:41:25,710 --> 00:41:23,319
be happy to fly to a and and be part of

923
00:41:26,910 --> 00:41:25,720
a mission to a Chinese space station I

924
00:41:28,529 --> 00:41:26,920
would like you to go and check things

925
00:41:32,249 --> 00:41:28,539
out and report back let us know what

926
00:41:35,069 --> 00:41:32,259
they were to go and and I I promise you

927
00:41:37,529 --> 00:41:35,079
that I think it will result in more

928
00:41:38,970 --> 00:41:37,539
positive things and this whole

929
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:38,980
fear-based

930
00:41:42,890 --> 00:41:41,190
you know competition yeah

931
00:41:45,109 --> 00:41:42,900
I try to be an idealist but in general

932
00:41:47,539 --> 00:41:45,119
I'm I'm a realist for the most part yeah

933
00:41:50,029 --> 00:41:47,549
and I see country the hopeful hopeful

934
00:41:52,490 --> 00:41:50,039
optimist countries racing for nuclear

935
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:52,500
weapons all right you got North Korea

936
00:41:57,710 --> 00:41:55,650
and Iran and so on and in the same way

937
00:41:59,390 --> 00:41:57,720
if there was some way to have something

938
00:42:02,740 --> 00:41:59,400
in space that gives you some dominating

939
00:42:08,059 --> 00:42:02,750
position countries are gonna gravitate

940
00:42:08,990 --> 00:42:08,069
toward that not countries leaders in

941
00:42:11,569 --> 00:42:09,000
those countries

942
00:42:15,109 --> 00:42:11,579
egotistical leaders of countries because

943
00:42:19,490 --> 00:42:15,119
I don't care to have control over China

944
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:19,500
as a citizen you wouldn't but someone

945
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:25,170
who wants to have control you know yes

946
00:42:31,730 --> 00:42:28,530
so it's more of leadership's in each

947
00:42:34,010 --> 00:42:31,740
country's that want world dominance I

948
00:42:36,140 --> 00:42:34,020
know the same type of leaders such as

949
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:36,150
say North Korea that want to do what

950
00:42:39,529 --> 00:42:37,710
they're doing here or gonna want to do

951
00:42:43,220 --> 00:42:39,539
it in space know do they have the

952
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:43,230
capability now no but is it a danger to

953
00:42:48,019 --> 00:42:45,930
look out for in the future of course I

954
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:48,029
mean same thing with nuclear weapon can

955
00:42:52,250 --> 00:42:50,010
people build nuclear weapons yes

956
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:52,260
technology for doing all of this is out

957
00:42:57,460 --> 00:42:54,930
there it's not secret building Rockets

958
00:43:00,349 --> 00:42:57,470
and going to space is not a secret

959
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:00,359
building nuclear weapon there is a thing

960
00:43:04,339 --> 00:43:02,130
where we all have to be earthlings

961
00:43:06,230 --> 00:43:04,349
together and for instance possibly

962
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:06,240
colonize Mars to create a new home for

963
00:43:11,029 --> 00:43:08,970
humans on the next asteroid yes right we

964
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:11,039
can talk about that a minute but you

965
00:43:17,180 --> 00:43:15,270
also have the defense element of at the

966
00:43:19,130 --> 00:43:17,190
National Defense where you know you have

967
00:43:21,970 --> 00:43:19,140
to be cognizant of that risk I mean

968
00:43:24,710 --> 00:43:21,980
America has to be alert to the fact that

969
00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:24,720
if China or North Korea or someone

970
00:43:28,220 --> 00:43:26,400
created some dominating position in

971
00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:28,230
space that that ultimately could be very

972
00:43:34,819 --> 00:43:31,049
adverse to our interests on earth you

973
00:43:37,069 --> 00:43:34,829
can think about defense in terms of I

974
00:43:39,529 --> 00:43:37,079
need to build a weapon because the other

975
00:43:42,170 --> 00:43:39,539
guy is building a weapon or you can say

976
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:42,180
let's sit at a table and talk so neither

977
00:43:50,539 --> 00:43:47,250
one of us builds a weapon just you know

978
00:43:53,180 --> 00:43:50,549
let's learn from the nuclear program the

979
00:43:54,290 --> 00:43:53,190
fact that we started building nuclear

980
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:54,300
weapons

981
00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:56,370
that now everyone can build it and now

982
00:44:00,320 --> 00:43:58,770
we're all concerned about countries that

983
00:44:02,810 --> 00:44:00,330
we don't want to have nuclear weapon

984
00:44:05,390 --> 00:44:02,820
building one and really you know is

985
00:44:06,130 --> 00:44:05,400
there a way for us to prevent it no not

986
00:44:10,220 --> 00:44:06,140
really

987
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:10,230
so the best thing is prevention you know

988
00:44:14,810 --> 00:44:11,730
so we need to work together there need

989
00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,820
to be space treaties yeah and there are

990
00:44:19,550 --> 00:44:17,040
space treaties for peaceful use of space

991
00:44:21,740 --> 00:44:19,560
so we need to honor those treaties and

992
00:44:24,050 --> 00:44:21,750
not walk away from them okay now let's

993
00:44:27,230 --> 00:44:24,060
talk about the privatization of space

994
00:44:29,030 --> 00:44:27,240
because on the one hand it's probably a

995
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:29,040
fabulous thing I've read something that

996
00:44:34,220 --> 00:44:31,770
is it the Falcon rocket the SpaceX did

997
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:34,230
that it cost ten percent of what it

998
00:44:39,290 --> 00:44:36,330
would cost NASA to build that based on

999
00:44:41,390 --> 00:44:39,300
NASA's own estimates so that's pretty

1000
00:44:43,610 --> 00:44:41,400
incredible intends to tell you this is a

1001
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:43,620
direction we need to go in absolutely

1002
00:44:50,510 --> 00:44:47,610
and I think the we're private companies

1003
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:50,520
can add value is when things are not

1004
00:44:54,410 --> 00:44:52,770
experimental anymore where there is a

1005
00:44:56,630 --> 00:44:54,420
business case to be made when there's

1006
00:44:58,390 --> 00:44:56,640
efficiencies to be gained businesses

1007
00:45:01,550 --> 00:44:58,400
tend to do better because you know

1008
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:01,560
there's no necessarily a lot of new

1009
00:45:06,710 --> 00:45:04,410
technologies that come out of you know

1010
00:45:08,660 --> 00:45:06,720
continuously building rockets and going

1011
00:45:10,670 --> 00:45:08,670
to space so it's a repeatable thing so

1012
00:45:13,670 --> 00:45:10,680
companies can come up with a better way

1013
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:13,680
of doing that and NASA is a research

1014
00:45:19,130 --> 00:45:16,770
organization so what they can do is

1015
00:45:23,060 --> 00:45:19,140
focus their resources and effort on

1016
00:45:26,090 --> 00:45:23,070
where businesses don't have a reason to

1017
00:45:29,750 --> 00:45:26,100
go so when it's about a robotic landing

1018
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:29,760
on other planets or their moons to learn

1019
00:45:34,130 --> 00:45:32,010
about and exploring the rest of our

1020
00:45:37,300 --> 00:45:34,140
galaxy that's where I think NASA

1021
00:45:39,890 --> 00:45:37,310
resources will come to great value

1022
00:45:42,860 --> 00:45:39,900
building rockets to go to space that

1023
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:42,870
companies like SpaceX chlorogene build

1024
00:45:47,630 --> 00:45:45,690
better faster cheaper safer rockets to

1025
00:45:49,610 --> 00:45:47,640
carry more people yes so let's talk

1026
00:45:50,870 --> 00:45:49,620
about what are the business reasons to

1027
00:45:53,150 --> 00:45:50,880
go into space you got launching

1028
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:53,160
satellites obviously and you've got

1029
00:45:58,190 --> 00:45:56,370
space tourism are there other business

1030
00:46:02,540 --> 00:45:58,200
reasons for companies to want to go into

1031
00:46:04,850 --> 00:46:02,550
space so I actually look at it like the

1032
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:04,860
early days of internet being a tech

1033
00:46:08,820 --> 00:46:06,250
entrepreneur

1034
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:08,830
and being around for a long time I

1035
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:11,410
remember days where Internet was only

1036
00:46:16,500 --> 00:46:13,570
used by governments and large

1037
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:16,510
universities it was difficult to get

1038
00:46:20,910 --> 00:46:18,490
access to difficult to use

1039
00:46:23,730 --> 00:46:20,920
so only very limited number of people

1040
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:23,740
had access to it once we had companies

1041
00:46:29,970 --> 00:46:26,770
like Netscape creative easier way of

1042
00:46:32,970 --> 00:46:29,980
interacting with people and Internet was

1043
00:46:35,010 --> 00:46:32,980
opened up to a large audience then

1044
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:35,020
people came up with all sorts of

1045
00:46:40,950 --> 00:46:38,710
creative ways of using Internet and it

1046
00:46:44,099 --> 00:46:40,960
started evolving and becoming what we

1047
00:46:46,740 --> 00:46:44,109
cannot live without today so I think

1048
00:46:48,930 --> 00:46:46,750
space can be the same thing if we open

1049
00:46:51,570 --> 00:46:48,940
up the access to space by reducing the

1050
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:51,580
cost and opening it up people will come

1051
00:46:56,670 --> 00:46:53,890
up with creative way of using it some of

1052
00:46:59,520 --> 00:46:56,680
the things that I want to you know

1053
00:47:02,220 --> 00:46:59,530
challenge people with is we talk about

1054
00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:02,230
cloud computing for example what is

1055
00:47:06,690 --> 00:47:04,000
cloud computing it's basically these

1056
00:47:09,390 --> 00:47:06,700
massive data centers around the globe

1057
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:09,400
where they're sucking tons of energy to

1058
00:47:15,390 --> 00:47:12,490
cool down and to power these massive

1059
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:15,400
computer systems why can't we put this

1060
00:47:20,690 --> 00:47:17,710
in orbit if we have this massive storage

1061
00:47:22,740 --> 00:47:20,700
errors its space is very cold we have

1062
00:47:25,710 --> 00:47:22,750
abundant

1063
00:47:27,810 --> 00:47:25,720
solar energy with solar panels that can

1064
00:47:31,050 --> 00:47:27,820
be up there let's put the cloud above

1065
00:47:34,020 --> 00:47:31,060
the cloud and access it that way there

1066
00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:34,030
are tons of research again in the

1067
00:47:39,410 --> 00:47:37,089
medical area in new material sciences

1068
00:47:42,300 --> 00:47:39,420
manufacturing that can be moved to space

1069
00:47:44,730 --> 00:47:42,310
so we can actually reduce the burden on

1070
00:47:46,380 --> 00:47:44,740
the resources on our planet by moving

1071
00:47:50,310 --> 00:47:46,390
certain things that do not have

1072
00:47:53,550 --> 00:47:50,320
real-time access needs to to orbit and

1073
00:47:55,859 --> 00:47:53,560
and help our environment and our planet

1074
00:47:59,310 --> 00:47:55,869
and also create a more efficient way of

1075
00:48:01,770 --> 00:47:59,320
using them so is the is it fair to say

1076
00:48:04,339 --> 00:48:01,780
the u.s. is way ahead of other countries

1077
00:48:07,349 --> 00:48:04,349
as far as private enterprise in space I

1078
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:07,359
believe so I I said they're fair safe

1079
00:48:14,130 --> 00:48:10,690
and is most of that in partnership with

1080
00:48:17,579 --> 00:48:14,140
NASA yes so the fact that and that's

1081
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:17,589
where I credit XPrize when we started

1082
00:48:23,039 --> 00:48:19,450
with the price that we

1083
00:48:25,380 --> 00:48:23,049
behind the Ansari X PRIZE the notion of

1084
00:48:27,690 --> 00:48:25,390
any private company doing anything in

1085
00:48:31,470 --> 00:48:27,700
space was completely unknown and unheard

1086
00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:31,480
of one of the major attributes of XPrize

1087
00:48:35,940 --> 00:48:33,369
the Ansari X PRIZE to the whole

1088
00:48:39,270 --> 00:48:35,950
privatization of space was that the work

1089
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:39,280
we did with FAA and different government

1090
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:42,250
agencies and policy makers to educate

1091
00:48:47,730 --> 00:48:44,170
them about the benefits of having

1092
00:48:50,130 --> 00:48:47,740
private industries involved and because

1093
00:48:52,620 --> 00:48:50,140
of the work over the 10 years new

1094
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:52,630
policies were made actually a new

1095
00:48:57,329 --> 00:48:55,089
division in FAA was formed to deal with

1096
00:49:00,270 --> 00:48:57,339
so technically it wasn't even legal

1097
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:00,280
before no it wasn't legal so a private

1098
00:49:03,950 --> 00:49:01,690
citizen couldn't shoot himself up in

1099
00:49:07,260 --> 00:49:03,960
this bill we had to actually get very

1100
00:49:09,630 --> 00:49:07,270
special permission and head of FAA had

1101
00:49:11,730 --> 00:49:09,640
to come visit the company to even allow

1102
00:49:13,530 --> 00:49:11,740
the launch to happen to win the prize

1103
00:49:17,309 --> 00:49:13,540
when people couldn't even do test

1104
00:49:19,650 --> 00:49:17,319
flights like that so it was a lot of

1105
00:49:21,630 --> 00:49:19,660
work that went into creating the

1106
00:49:24,569 --> 00:49:21,640
environment for this industry to be

1107
00:49:26,220 --> 00:49:24,579
created and that's why u.s. is ahead of

1108
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:26,230
everywhere else because this type of

1109
00:49:30,990 --> 00:49:27,970
change happened here when I was curious

1110
00:49:34,049 --> 00:49:31,000
about that because you put up the money

1111
00:49:36,270 --> 00:49:34,059
the Ansari prize 10 million dollars to

1112
00:49:39,390 --> 00:49:36,280
create a race for the first company to

1113
00:49:42,410 --> 00:49:39,400
be able to send a rocket into space and

1114
00:49:45,510 --> 00:49:42,420
be able to return and go twice in what

1115
00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:45,520
twice in two weeks and created this race

1116
00:49:50,250 --> 00:49:47,920
yes to that similar to Charles Lindbergh

1117
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:50,260
yes it was chasing a similar price

1118
00:49:55,349 --> 00:49:52,930
across the Atlantic Ocean so prior to

1119
00:49:57,599 --> 00:49:55,359
the prize what was going on for instance

1120
00:49:59,839 --> 00:49:57,609
Elon Musk was he already up to something

1121
00:50:03,720 --> 00:49:59,849
prior to the prize no I mean the prize

1122
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:03,730
instigated this whole idea of maybe we

1123
00:50:06,809 --> 00:50:05,710
can be involved with this me I mean it

1124
00:50:08,730 --> 00:50:06,819
really is and I want you to pat yourself

1125
00:50:11,099 --> 00:50:08,740
on the back if it's probably it really

1126
00:50:12,839 --> 00:50:11,109
was the instigator to privatization of

1127
00:50:15,030 --> 00:50:12,849
space absolutely and I think the Pat is

1128
00:50:17,609 --> 00:50:15,040
not just to my back but Peter Diamandis

1129
00:50:20,700 --> 00:50:17,619
who was the founder and the person

1130
00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:20,710
behind the idea of the prize who started

1131
00:50:26,789 --> 00:50:23,680
the XPrize foundation and and then he

1132
00:50:29,190 --> 00:50:26,799
found me and my family to back him on

1133
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:29,200
this and and I was already on this path

1134
00:50:32,790 --> 00:50:31,510
of finding my way to space and who are

1135
00:50:35,490 --> 00:50:32,800
path crossed just at the right moment

1136
00:50:37,350 --> 00:50:35,500
yes in fact I read something where you

1137
00:50:38,850 --> 00:50:37,360
said that if you have a dream talk about

1138
00:50:41,130 --> 00:50:38,860
it all worth because it's more likely to

1139
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:41,140
come true tell me how that played into

1140
00:50:46,830 --> 00:50:44,710
this I I think it's important so the way

1141
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:46,840
Peter found out about my passion is like

1142
00:50:53,610 --> 00:50:49,570
anytime I did an interview I told people

1143
00:50:57,690 --> 00:50:53,620
that my passion is to go to do with the

1144
00:50:59,970 --> 00:50:57,700
job but with my job and actually I might

1145
00:51:01,980 --> 00:50:59,980
need to take a long vacation exactly

1146
00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:01,990
people actually looked at me like I was

1147
00:51:08,130 --> 00:51:04,990
crazy like who is this crazy girl who

1148
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:08,140
wants to go to his face but in most

1149
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:09,730
cases people just didn't take me

1150
00:51:14,460 --> 00:51:12,610
seriously but I was serious about it so

1151
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:14,470
I talked about it all the time read

1152
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:15,310
about it

1153
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:17,410
I tried to talk to people who knew

1154
00:51:21,570 --> 00:51:19,930
something about it so that's how you

1155
00:51:23,310 --> 00:51:21,580
make your dream come true by just

1156
00:51:25,710 --> 00:51:23,320
keeping it in your head it won't go

1157
00:51:27,780 --> 00:51:25,720
anywhere so if you have a dream and you

1158
00:51:30,630 --> 00:51:27,790
want to do something about it the first

1159
00:51:32,070 --> 00:51:30,640
step is to talk about it so what about

1160
00:51:34,710 --> 00:51:32,080
Elon Musk though because my understand

1161
00:51:37,110 --> 00:51:34,720
is he was not part of the competition he

1162
00:51:39,210 --> 00:51:37,120
was not part of the competition but we

1163
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:39,220
were actually in conversation with him

1164
00:51:45,510 --> 00:51:42,010
because we wanted him to also be part of

1165
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:45,520
the sponsorship program and sponsor the

1166
00:51:50,250 --> 00:51:47,290
prize and being engaged and involved

1167
00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:50,260
with it he always had a passion just

1168
00:51:54,990 --> 00:51:51,940
like me he had the passion to go to Mars

1169
00:51:58,140 --> 00:51:55,000
so that's the reason right now his focus

1170
00:52:00,690 --> 00:51:58,150
is on Mars he even started SpaceX with

1171
00:52:02,820 --> 00:52:00,700
the vision long-term vision of going to

1172
00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:02,830
personally want to go to Mars a person

1173
00:52:07,140 --> 00:52:04,510
he wants to go colonize Mars

1174
00:52:09,570 --> 00:52:07,150
I mean colonizing Mars is his final

1175
00:52:13,350 --> 00:52:09,580
mission oh so it's gonna be you and

1176
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:13,360
Ilana I don't know if I want to be

1177
00:52:21,540 --> 00:52:19,210
stranded with a guy but no I think we

1178
00:52:23,550 --> 00:52:21,550
both have a passion for opening up space

1179
00:52:26,330 --> 00:52:23,560
to everyone and we feel that it's

1180
00:52:29,370 --> 00:52:26,340
important for the future of humanity

1181
00:52:32,190 --> 00:52:29,380
yeah let's talk about that

1182
00:52:35,130 --> 00:52:32,200
because I guess the risk is that another

1183
00:52:38,310 --> 00:52:35,140
asteroid hits and just like the

1184
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:38,320
dinosaurs we would be extinct is that

1185
00:52:42,330 --> 00:52:39,730
the reason to colonize Mars

1186
00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:42,340
that's one reason or we have

1187
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:44,560
you know you talked about space war you

1188
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:47,050
know if we have a space war I think

1189
00:52:52,980 --> 00:52:49,570
there will be or new nuclear world I

1190
00:52:55,140 --> 00:52:52,990
think either an external source or you

1191
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:55,150
know something we do to ourselves may

1192
00:52:59,550 --> 00:52:57,970
render our planet inhabitable if the

1193
00:53:01,850 --> 00:52:59,560
dinosaurs had just thought about that

1194
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:01,860
they'd be on Mars right now hanging out

1195
00:53:06,450 --> 00:53:04,810
haven't they were actually a pretty

1196
00:53:09,260 --> 00:53:06,460
smart species yeah

1197
00:53:12,390 --> 00:53:09,270
they didn't dream about Mars uh probably

1198
00:53:14,670 --> 00:53:12,400
so but but really that's the reason to

1199
00:53:18,660 --> 00:53:14,680
colonize Mars is to protect the human

1200
00:53:21,450 --> 00:53:18,670
race you know it's one reason just think

1201
00:53:23,580 --> 00:53:21,460
about early days when people came to you

1202
00:53:27,030 --> 00:53:23,590
know discovered America

1203
00:53:29,460 --> 00:53:27,040
we continued to move forward and and you

1204
00:53:32,010 --> 00:53:29,470
know expand our borders and territories

1205
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:32,020
until we reach the other side of the

1206
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:35,170
continent and we always as humans we

1207
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:37,210
love to explore we want to find new

1208
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:42,010
places to settle and to grow our species

1209
00:53:48,090 --> 00:53:45,310
in the universe so you know being on

1210
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:48,100
earth then next natural place could be

1211
00:53:55,500 --> 00:53:52,450
and why is it Mars and not the moon as I

1212
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:55,510
said I mean Ilan's compassion is Mars

1213
00:54:00,540 --> 00:53:57,610
I believe we cannot even get to Mars

1214
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:00,550
without colonizing moon first because we

1215
00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:02,410
need to be somewhere close where we can

1216
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:05,710
experiment and learn getting to Mars it

1217
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:08,410
takes a long time it's a lot harder we

1218
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:10,450
haven't even figured out the impact of

1219
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:12,910
this long-duration flight on our bodies

1220
00:54:18,810 --> 00:54:17,290
whether we will survive it or not to be

1221
00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:18,820
honest with you long term I think our

1222
00:54:24,900 --> 00:54:22,480
bodies will evolve the other option is

1223
00:54:30,130 --> 00:54:24,910
you look at how technology is evolving

1224
00:54:32,510 --> 00:54:30,140
and how robotics and genetic

1225
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:32,520
modification and enhancement is becoming

1226
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:35,130
part of everyday life so I think maybe

1227
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:38,130
once we are ready to actually settle on

1228
00:54:42,950 --> 00:54:40,410
Mars we won't look like what we look

1229
00:54:45,980 --> 00:54:42,960
like right now I mean our bodies could

1230
00:54:47,540 --> 00:54:45,990
be enhanced before going and creating it

1231
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:47,550
settlement what about just conditions

1232
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:49,770
for living what's better the Moon or

1233
00:54:58,430 --> 00:54:57,090
Mars I think well we have water on the

1234
00:55:00,710 --> 00:54:58,440
moon

1235
00:55:03,290 --> 00:55:00,720
I think we've discovered now potentially

1236
00:55:06,140 --> 00:55:03,300
water on Mars so water is the most

1237
00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:06,150
important ingredient so I don't think

1238
00:55:12,350 --> 00:55:07,920
there's a huge difference

1239
00:55:15,590 --> 00:55:12,360
neither have an atmosphere I don't know

1240
00:55:19,270 --> 00:55:15,600
if there's a big advantage of one over

1241
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:19,280
the other except that moon is closer and

1242
00:55:24,380 --> 00:55:22,290
psychologically you know human beings as

1243
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:24,390
long as they can see Earth even if it's

1244
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:25,170
like this

1245
00:55:29,420 --> 00:55:27,570
tiny little thing in the background you

1246
00:55:31,270 --> 00:55:29,430
feel like it's there it gives you some

1247
00:55:35,300 --> 00:55:31,280
peace of mind so psychologically

1248
00:55:36,770 --> 00:55:35,310
probably moon is easier than Mars that's

1249
00:55:39,650 --> 00:55:36,780
why I think you know we need to train

1250
00:55:41,420 --> 00:55:39,660
ourselves a lot on the moon before we go

1251
00:55:43,940 --> 00:55:41,430
to Mars so any trips that would be done

1252
00:55:45,770 --> 00:55:43,950
privately say to the moon or to Mars

1253
00:55:47,660 --> 00:55:45,780
where those have to be essentially in

1254
00:55:52,700 --> 00:55:47,670
conjunction with a government in this

1255
00:55:55,580 --> 00:55:52,710
case the US government does it have to

1256
00:55:58,940 --> 00:55:55,590
be it's a good question I don't think it

1257
00:56:01,610 --> 00:55:58,950
has to put there there's no law

1258
00:56:03,380 --> 00:56:01,620
basically it's regulation for Mars or

1259
00:56:05,810 --> 00:56:03,390
well but you're saying that you had to

1260
00:56:09,380 --> 00:56:05,820
get FAA approval to go into space to

1261
00:56:11,870 --> 00:56:09,390
launch right so Africa didn't deny your

1262
00:56:15,050 --> 00:56:11,880
launch yes that could happen but if you

1263
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:15,060
meet the launch requirement I don't

1264
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:16,770
think there's anything that stops you

1265
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:19,050
from a private company perspective to

1266
00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:22,410
land on the moon or on Mars the question

1267
00:56:28,670 --> 00:56:25,200
is once you land there can you claim and

1268
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:28,680
say I own Mars yeah I mean Yahoo is

1269
00:56:32,030 --> 00:56:29,970
colonizing it is it

1270
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:32,040
Elon Musk and SpaceX or is it the United

1271
00:56:35,540 --> 00:56:33,690
States dad those are really good

1272
00:56:37,670 --> 00:56:35,550
question because that's how why there's

1273
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:37,680
a whole new field of space law that's

1274
00:56:41,829 --> 00:56:39,930
being developed and growing right now

1275
00:56:44,259 --> 00:56:41,839
because there is no regular

1276
00:56:47,949 --> 00:56:44,269
that governs what happens when someone

1277
00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:47,959
lands on on Mars or on the moon mm-hmm

1278
00:56:52,059 --> 00:56:50,569
so we do have a little bit of a risk of

1279
00:56:55,299 --> 00:56:52,069
one of my other favorite movies

1280
00:56:57,999 --> 00:56:55,309
Moonraker means bond drago if you

1281
00:57:00,160 --> 00:56:58,009
remember him it was up to no good flying

1282
00:57:03,429 --> 00:57:00,170
space holes around in space do we have

1283
00:57:04,900 --> 00:57:03,439
to fear a Drago type person not Elon I'm

1284
00:57:10,769 --> 00:57:04,910
talking about he's cool but yeah you

1285
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:10,779
know the evil Elon I hope not I mean

1286
00:57:18,339 --> 00:57:13,910
humans are capable of the most wonderful

1287
00:57:21,789 --> 00:57:18,349
things and also the most horrible things

1288
00:57:26,759 --> 00:57:21,799
and I think the number of people who do

1289
00:57:29,499 --> 00:57:26,769
great things and are compassionate and

1290
00:57:32,499 --> 00:57:29,509
peace-loving are a lot more than the

1291
00:57:34,839 --> 00:57:32,509
evil ones but unfortunately one evil

1292
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:34,849
person can do a lot of damage so I'm

1293
00:57:41,349 --> 00:57:38,930
hoping that they will get access to to

1294
00:57:44,049 --> 00:57:41,359
space or a space program or a space

1295
00:57:45,670 --> 00:57:44,059
weapon okay let me just finish by

1296
00:57:47,620 --> 00:57:45,680
talking just a little bit about XPrize

1297
00:57:49,689 --> 00:57:47,630
because you're now the CEO of XPrize you

1298
00:57:52,630 --> 00:57:49,699
were the first one to put up the the

1299
00:57:54,969 --> 00:57:52,640
first prize and now are the CEO and

1300
00:57:56,229 --> 00:57:54,979
there's you have a number of prizes now

1301
00:57:58,029 --> 00:57:56,239
that are out there available

1302
00:58:01,120 --> 00:57:58,039
approximately how many the people are

1303
00:58:04,719 --> 00:58:01,130
chasing yeah but I think eight prizes

1304
00:58:05,829 --> 00:58:04,729
now and highlight what your favorite one

1305
00:58:10,329 --> 00:58:05,839
right now the one you're most excited

1306
00:58:12,729 --> 00:58:10,339
about oh there's so many so we have one

1307
00:58:14,650 --> 00:58:12,739
that I was personally involved with a

1308
00:58:17,559 --> 00:58:14,660
little bit which is exciting which is

1309
00:58:20,049 --> 00:58:17,569
called the A&A avatar XPrize I'm a

1310
00:58:23,199 --> 00:58:20,059
techie so the techie ones are very

1311
00:58:28,479 --> 00:58:23,209
compelling to me so this is basically a

1312
00:58:32,140 --> 00:58:28,489
an avatar where a human can control and

1313
00:58:35,049 --> 00:58:32,150
feel like they are you know through this

1314
00:58:39,669 --> 00:58:35,059
avatar and another location through

1315
00:58:42,989 --> 00:58:39,679
their thoughts through thoughts you will

1316
00:58:46,509 --> 00:58:42,999
be connected to a sort of a robotic

1317
00:58:48,789 --> 00:58:46,519
humanoid and another location where you

1318
00:58:52,689 --> 00:58:48,799
can sense and control and see through

1319
00:58:54,990 --> 00:58:52,699
that humanoid robot so you're not taught

1320
00:58:57,750 --> 00:58:55,000
controlling another section

1321
00:58:59,490 --> 00:58:57,760
being but it's a device it's but sorry

1322
00:59:01,830 --> 00:58:59,500
are you thought controlling the robot

1323
00:59:05,750 --> 00:59:01,840
yes you're taught and your actions yeah

1324
00:59:11,130 --> 00:59:05,760
so you're physically and mentally true

1325
00:59:15,630 --> 00:59:11,140
arv are you know specific controls

1326
00:59:17,130 --> 00:59:15,640
you're controlling a humanoid robot and

1327
00:59:18,990 --> 00:59:17,140
I know the ultimate goal of all your

1328
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:19,000
prizes is something that is going to

1329
00:59:25,170 --> 00:59:21,970
help the globe what is it that you're

1330
00:59:27,570 --> 00:59:25,180
hoping so this is this can be used in

1331
00:59:31,950 --> 00:59:27,580
multiple ways for example there are

1332
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:31,960
extreme situations where it's dangerous

1333
00:59:37,650 --> 00:59:34,290
for human to actually enter for example

1334
00:59:40,260 --> 00:59:37,660
you know if there is a nuclear disaster

1335
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:40,270
and there is a need for rescue mission

1336
00:59:46,530 --> 00:59:42,730
or rescue operation or repair operation

1337
00:59:49,050 --> 00:59:46,540
someone who has to have special skills

1338
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:49,060
can actually to through this humanoid

1339
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:52,570
robot specifically do tasks that are

1340
00:59:56,910 --> 00:59:55,570
very delicate and still accomplish the

1341
01:00:00,180 --> 00:59:56,920
same thing without in there injuring

1342
01:00:02,610 --> 01:00:00,190
themselves or one person can for example

1343
01:00:06,420 --> 01:00:02,620
a specialized surgeon can do multiple

1344
01:00:08,250 --> 01:00:06,430
surgeries through these robots in

1345
01:00:10,770 --> 01:00:08,260
different parts of the world remote

1346
01:00:14,070 --> 01:00:10,780
parts of the world and go from one

1347
01:00:16,110 --> 01:00:14,080
corner of the planet to another to all

1348
01:00:17,850 --> 01:00:16,120
these means of these how much time do

1349
01:00:19,410 --> 01:00:17,860
they have to come up with that because I

1350
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:19,420
know each prize has an expiration right

1351
01:00:26,610 --> 01:00:24,250
yes so this is a 5-year prize so we are

1352
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:26,620
just coming up to early registration

1353
01:00:32,100 --> 01:00:29,650
close and the registration will

1354
01:00:34,290 --> 01:00:32,110
completely close end of the year so

1355
01:00:37,020 --> 01:00:34,300
we're recruiting teams right now and

1356
01:00:41,730 --> 01:00:37,030
it's very exciting we have an AI for

1357
01:00:44,190 --> 01:00:41,740
good prize that we had 30 teams

1358
01:00:47,130 --> 01:00:44,200
finalists that were just announced and

1359
01:00:49,610 --> 01:00:47,140
we're this is using machine learning and

1360
01:00:51,780 --> 01:00:49,620
artificial intelligence to solve

1361
01:00:54,270 --> 01:00:51,790
problems that will bring benefit to

1362
01:00:56,870 --> 01:00:54,280
humanity so we have people with ideas in

1363
01:00:59,280 --> 01:00:56,880
energy in environment in healthcare

1364
01:01:01,470 --> 01:00:59,290
using machine learning to solve those

1365
01:01:03,450 --> 01:01:01,480
types of problems we have a global

1366
01:01:06,870 --> 01:01:03,460
learning XPrize which is also very

1367
01:01:07,780 --> 01:01:06,880
exciting and we have finalists five

1368
01:01:10,330 --> 01:01:07,790
finalists I

1369
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:10,340
to find in villages in Tanzania teaching

1370
01:01:15,730 --> 01:01:12,410
kids through a mobile device to read

1371
01:01:18,010 --> 01:01:15,740
write and basic arithmetic from ground

1372
01:01:22,620 --> 01:01:18,020
zero without any teachers so that will

1373
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:22,630
revolutionize you know learning without

1374
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:27,410
without teachers probably a huge batch

1375
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:29,570
of potential prizes that you guys are

1376
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:31,730
considering absolutely we have probably

1377
01:01:38,110 --> 01:01:35,810
another 20-30 ideas in the works and you

1378
01:01:41,170 --> 01:01:38,120
know any of those yours in there a

1379
01:01:44,170 --> 01:01:41,180
little pet I can't talk about that I

1380
01:01:48,370 --> 01:01:44,180
can't talk about our upcoming prizes but

1381
01:01:50,740 --> 01:01:48,380
I tell you I I still love space X prizes

1382
01:01:53,650 --> 01:01:50,750
and hope that we'll have new prizes and

1383
01:01:57,990 --> 01:01:53,660
related to space exploration and we've

1384
01:02:02,940 --> 01:01:58,000
been talking about you know Mars and

1385
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:02,950
moon and colonization so I believe that

1386
01:02:07,750 --> 01:02:05,210
you know we've been going to space

1387
01:02:10,420 --> 01:02:07,760
through Rockets ever since we started

1388
01:02:12,780 --> 01:02:10,430
the space program so I'm hoping that

1389
01:02:15,460 --> 01:02:12,790
maybe someone will revolutionize

1390
01:02:18,490 --> 01:02:15,470
propulsion system so the way we would go

1391
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:18,500
to space will change completely and we

1392
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:21,290
would be able to zoom to distant parts

1393
01:02:26,170 --> 01:02:23,570
of the galaxy faster so how about black

1394
01:02:29,050 --> 01:02:26,180
hole travel won't you throw that why not

1395
01:02:31,510 --> 01:02:29,060
why not I mean I'm a Trekkie so I'm

1396
01:02:33,310 --> 01:02:31,520
looking for the warp drive to be able to

1397
01:02:35,050 --> 01:02:33,320
travel but isn't it fun just to dream

1398
01:02:37,330 --> 01:02:35,060
like that as far as coming up with these

1399
01:02:39,580 --> 01:02:37,340
prizes because you know what people are

1400
01:02:41,110 --> 01:02:39,590
going to go after it have a party and if

1401
01:02:44,830 --> 01:02:41,120
they don't get it they don't get it but

1402
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:44,840
absolutely so we always so we don't want

1403
01:02:49,180 --> 01:02:46,610
to have one of those prizes that we know

1404
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:49,190
no one will want win so part of the time

1405
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:51,530
we spend here is to make sure we add

1406
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:54,170
that edge of audacious but achievable

1407
01:03:00,640 --> 01:02:57,130
which is a very hard balance to achieve

1408
01:03:02,890 --> 01:03:00,650
but it's important for us to pick prizes

1409
01:03:05,050 --> 01:03:02,900
where we think there is benefit that the

1410
01:03:07,420 --> 01:03:05,060
industry is not working on it because

1411
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:07,430
they haven't either figured out why it's

1412
01:03:14,140 --> 01:03:10,130
important or they there's no incentive

1413
01:03:16,690 --> 01:03:14,150
there and find that edge where you know

1414
01:03:20,350 --> 01:03:16,700
you're going to push things technology's

1415
01:03:21,430 --> 01:03:20,360
significantly so it's an audacious goal

1416
01:03:22,930 --> 01:03:21,440
but it's still

1417
01:03:25,540 --> 01:03:22,940
Chifa bull so we don't want to break any

1418
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:25,550
laws of physics yeah well I know you

1419
01:03:29,050 --> 01:03:26,690
have a flight to catch

1420
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:29,060
unfortunately it's not to the moon it's

1421
01:03:34,390 --> 01:03:30,490
design Francisco

1422
01:03:35,740 --> 01:03:34,400
but one day you'll will have to end our

1423
01:03:39,460 --> 01:03:35,750
interview because you're off to the moon

1424
01:03:41,050 --> 01:03:39,470
we'll do a podcast on the new show thank
