crashed through the 66 00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:35,200 river in the middle of the night just 67 00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,640 missed her we were telling you about 68 00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,239 this yesterday take a look at this the 69 00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,720 chunk of space rock that landed right on 70 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,560 ruth hamilton's bed 71 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,720 as she was sleeping at home in golden 72 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:47,200 space the only warning she got was her 73 00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:49,040 dog barking that woke her up and the 74 00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:50,480 next thing she knew there was a huge 75 00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:53,519 explosion and debris all over her 76 00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,319 initially she and the rcmp inspector 77 00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:58,159 because she called 9-1-1 not knowing 78 00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:59,840 what else to do they thought it might 79 00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:01,519 have been from a nearby construction 80 00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:04,800 site but no in fact they had spotted 81 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:07,440 people had spotted a fireball that night 82 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:08,239 so 83 00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:11,120 she got in touch with experts at western 84 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:14,159 university in london sent an email 85 00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:15,120 and 86 00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:17,040 well why don't we just pick up the story 87 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:18,720 with the person who ended up receiving 88 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:20,480 that email because he's now very 89 00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:22,400 involved in the story this is professor 90 00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:24,239 peter brown how could you have done this 91 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,840 professor of physics in astronomy at 92 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:27,599 western he's in london ontario good 93 00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:29,200 morning london 94 00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:30,879 good morning heather this is quite the 95 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:35,670 i need that sound drop 96 00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,480 the story well this is quite the story 97 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,920 how did the did the dog have like 98 00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:41,360 precognition 99 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,280 the dogs barking before there's an explo 100 00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:45,120 did okay so the dog was up on the roof 101 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:47,840 incoming artillery 102 00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:49,760 so the dog has some sort of clairvoyance 103 00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,599 yeah the more important story here you 104 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:53,360 have a psychic dog 105 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,959 no i think i think the dog was up to 106 00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,400 something nefarious with the neighbors 107 00:03:59,670 --> 00:03:58,080 and this was retaliation 108 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:59,680 okay there could be some sort of dog 109 00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:00,959 conspiracy going on here we'll see what 110 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:02,720 the scientist has to say 111 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,879 every day well tell how unusual is it in 112 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,480 fact 113 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:08,400 so it's there's about one chance in a 114 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:10,560 hundred billion that on any given year 115 00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:13,120 your bed will be hit by a meteorite 116 00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:15,040 and ruth hamilton was that 117 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:16,479 chance 118 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:18,000 exactly yes 119 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,519 and you know kind of the description 120 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,120 that i've been she was saying you know 121 00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,000 this sort of the size of a melon uh 122 00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:26,479 charcoal gray and color was that all you 123 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:28,160 needed when that email came was that all 124 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,000 you needed to know that it was indeed a 125 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:32,080 space rock a meteorite 126 00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:33,919 yeah the picture gives it a regular 127 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,360 series it looks like a meteorite and all 128 00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:37,919 the circumstances were correct and uh we 129 00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,440 knew there was a bright fireball that 130 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,680 night so putting it all together we were 131 00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:43,120 pretty convinced even without seeing the 132 00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:44,240 rock 133 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:45,759 but now you have seen it and she's 134 00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:47,280 actually going to send it to you i 135 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:49,280 understand now what do you hope to learn 136 00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:50,560 his profession 137 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,240 it's probably pretty valuable stuff 138 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,320 right yeah sell that [\h__\h] yeah yeah 139 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,479 there's you can sell for like 20 grand 140 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,560 if they're like large enough and then 141 00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:00,720 they have good like materials so i 142 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:02,560 hopefully she does not give us like she 143 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,080 won the lottery here maybe you know a 144 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:06,560 couple grand but that's that's something 145 00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:08,320 yeah let's throw it on the construction 146 00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,960 site on the news yeah no [\h__\h] jbj we 147 00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:12,479 could get some big money for that if 148 00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:15,199 it's a [\h__\h] fish buddy 149 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:17,280 yeah you think this is a space fish it's 150 00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,720 a ice fish survivory entry it's a rock 151 00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,639 well we hope to understand exactly what 152 00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:24,560 kind of meteorite it is and what's 153 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:27,120 special about this one is we have enough 154 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:28,960 videos that we have sort of an idea of 155 00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:30,800 where it came from in the solar system 156 00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:31,759 we know it came with sort of the 157 00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:33,759 asteroid belt uh but we're hoping to get 158 00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:35,600 more videos from people who may have 159 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:38,000 recordings and that will help us track 160 00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:39,680 the meteorite better get a better orbit 161 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:41,120 for it and and ultimately learn where it 162 00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:43,039 comes from so would that just be people 163 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,960 in british columbia or would people 164 00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:46,560 elsewhere have 165 00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,560 the fireball 166 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,479 yeah southeastern british columbia 167 00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:52,479 southern alberta central alberta 168 00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,759 anywhere in there should have been able 169 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:55,680 to to see it okay so people who are up 170 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:57,360 early and listening to our conversation 171 00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:58,560 if they happen to have captured the 172 00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,160 video outside right now you might still 173 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,639 see it and seeing that knowing the orbit 174 00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:04,319 why is that important what does that 175 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:05,759 tell you 176 00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,360 well that tells us exactly where this 177 00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:09,680 rock came from and because this rock is 178 00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,919 as old as the earth it's older than any 179 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,600 rock on the earth in fact how do you 180 00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,520 know by piecing together exactly where 181 00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:17,039 it comes from the asteroid belt we 182 00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,560 learned how the planets formed how the 183 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,319 early solar system yeah so it's really 184 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,560 important for us to get these videos to 185 00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:24,479 place the context of this rock in a 186 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,680 solar system it starts getting 187 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:27,360 belligerent 188 00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:29,440 how soon you'll receive this but have 189 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,520 have you seen a lot of 190 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,360 meteorite material in your career 191 00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:35,919 personally or are you kind of eager and 192 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:41,510 well every meteorite is is unique they 193 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,800 all tell different stories we've 194 00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:44,639 certainly seen other meteorites but 195 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:46,160 there's only been a handful in canada 196 00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:47,520 where we've had enough data to get sort 197 00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:49,280 of an orbit so this one certainly stands 198 00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:51,440 out as as unique and of course uh it's 199 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,560 the first time a bed's been hit in 200 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,800 canada by a meteorite leave me the 201 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,639 [\h__\h] sounds kind of funny when you 202 00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,639 said in that matter of fact uh 203 00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,880 way the first time this is this is a 204 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:02,800 bunch of bs she's trying to fill time 205 00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:03,520 now 206 00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:05,599 12 more minutes lady keep going 207 00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:08,479 i've had it up to here 208 00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:11,199 how did it make you feel when it crashed 209 00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:12,960 it was your first thought when this blew 210 00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:14,720 through your roof i wonder if it's made 211 00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:16,880 of like nickel 212 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:18,319 um he said 213 00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:21,360 that if we if we examine it this thing 214 00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:22,479 we'll tell where it came from because 215 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:23,759 this thing's older than anything on the 216 00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,599 earth how does he know that he also said 217 00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:27,520 it's from the asteroid belt the earth is 218 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:29,360 four and a half billion years old 219 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:30,960 there's there's rocks in the asteroid 220 00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:33,520 belt that are younger than that so 221 00:07:36,230 --> 00:07:34,800 i don't think this guy's an actual 222 00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:36,240 scientist 223 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,319 well and also i i was wondering if this 224 00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:40,400 relates to the other story we saw from 225 00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:43,280 new jersey was that part of 226 00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:46,160 you know meteorites asteroids uh i i've 227 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:48,879 i saw a few different uh headlines 228 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:50,479 from north america right around this 229 00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:52,800 time period when this story occurred 230 00:07:59,189 --> 00:07:54,639 that this could have been part of like a 231 00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:59,199 larger meteor storm possibly so uh but 232 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,120 this is obviously they had a lot of time 233 00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,120 to kill in uh british columbia on their 234 00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:05,199 news recently what's going on that day 235 00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:07,440 yeah they i mean they spent three almost 236 00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:10,479 four minutes with this guy maybe four 237 00:08:16,150 --> 00:08:13,360 probably four minutes with this guy 238 00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:16,160 uh but that's not the only 239 00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:18,639 uh piece of 240 00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:20,800 asteroid news we have no no we got more 241 00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,479 asteroid news coming for everyone out 242 00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:24,080 there we know we 243 00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:25,599 we love these asteroids people and this 244 00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:27,840 one is 245 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,319 from the daily star uh nuclear bombs 246 00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:32,560 could be key to saving earth from 247 00:08:36,389 --> 00:08:34,240 asteroids 248 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:36,399 uh scientists claim scientists are 249 00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:37,760 claiming it that's some good news on 250 00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:39,519 that i've seen this movie at least three 251 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,760 times yeah 13 year old scientist just 252 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:43,599 watched armageddon uh in deep impact 253 00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:45,760 dude we should do that 254 00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:47,120 write this up 255 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,519 scientists have backed the idea of using 256 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:51,440 nuclear bombs to protect the earth from 257 00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:55,200 asteroids asteroid disruption has been 258 00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:58,240 a worrisome topic for scientists for for 259 00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:01,200 some time and they try to plan for what 260 00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:03,680 would happen if another asteroid 261 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:06,000 collision were to take place their 262 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,240 concerns aren't baseless after all we 263 00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,399 don't want to be wiped out like the 264 00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:12,320 dinosaurs were 265 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,560 so to save our skins experts have been 266 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,040 looking for ways to deflect any meteors 267 00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:19,680 rocketing our way however for this there 268 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:22,160 needs to be a certain warning period 269 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:25,040 before uh during which measures can be 270 00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:28,720 be implemented to nudge the asteroids so 271 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:30,560 i read wait they said blow it up now 272 00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:32,320 they're saying nudge nudge so how shitty 273 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:34,160 are these bombs i i've actually read 274 00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:35,200 through a number of these articles and 275 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,040 listen to some people talk about this 276 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:39,360 recently motion mostly like russian 277 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:41,920 scientists and so what appears to be 278 00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:44,640 happening is nasa is focusing on looking 279 00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:48,399 for asteroids that are between 50 and 280 00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:51,440 300 meters in size 281 00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:53,600 and uh they they're they're harder to 282 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:55,839 find and but there are also there are 283 00:10:01,829 --> 00:09:58,640 more of those out there that can be uh 284 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:01,839 devastating and uh their their goal is 285 00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:05,040 to use these warheads to nudge them 286 00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:07,279 like a few degrees 287 00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,760 in in in trajectory just enough to to 288 00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:11,600 blow them off course 289 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:14,560 and not necessarily blow them up 290 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,959 the reason is if they happen to blow up 291 00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:19,120 these rocks then you have a cloud of 292 00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:23,279 radioactive gases and rocks that might 293 00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:26,240 hit our atmosphere and penetrate and so 294 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:28,560 actually might be more devastating than 295 00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:30,880 just nudging them off and us being hit 296 00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:33,040 by just a minor piece of it instead of 297 00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:34,640 instead of one big 298 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:35,920 rock that's going to hit the earth they 299 00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:38,079 they blow it up and now there's 50 rocks 300 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:39,360 that can hit the earth 301 00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:42,320 that's correct exactly but like smaller 302 00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:44,399 rocks so my question is this comes from 303 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,760 looks like lawrence livermore nuclear 304 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:46,959 laboratory national laboratory sorry 305 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,399 lawrence livermore national laboratory 306 00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:50,160 in livermore california much smarter 307 00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:51,519 smart eggheads out there that's where 308 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:53,040 invisible yeah that's what's going to 309 00:11:00,150 --> 00:10:59,110 um is there any way some of these 310 00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:00,160 scientists who are clearly on the 311 00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:01,839 government payroll could they form some 312 00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:04,640 sort of of force some sort of group that 313 00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:06,959 could go up into space and watch out for 314 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:09,200 these things and shoot them down 315 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:11,200 uh this is like is this a plot to a 316 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:12,880 movie you're alluding to 317 00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:14,480 i'm just saying it seems to me if we had 318 00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:16,880 some sort of uh political leader who put 319 00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:18,800 forth the idea of forming some sort of 320 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:20,480 group whose job 321 00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:23,120 oh yeah like that one yeah maybe it's 322 00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:25,040 maybe space force we just need to get 323 00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:26,720 some big guys up there to do this big 324 00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:29,519 massive dumpster i'm sorry 325 00:11:33,430

the most compell uh 349 00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:30,079 complicated space journeys ever planned 350 00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:32,959 nasa's lucy mission 351 00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:35,120 to eight asteroids is scheduled to lift 352 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,480 off uh early saturday so guy is uh 353 00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:40,240 it's gone these things are out there 354 00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:41,760 right

00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:50,959 mile trek during 359 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,320 a 75-minute launch window starting uh 360 00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:57,040 early 5 a.m on saturday 361 00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,839 lucy will unfurl 362 00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:01,839 giant solar arrays 363 00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:04,720 24 feet in diameter about 364 00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:06,720 one hour after lunch 365 00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:09,360 uh and it will circle the sun 366 00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:12,880 and it will circle the sun near earth 367 00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:15,120 for three years to use the planet's 368 00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:16,320 gravi 369 00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:18,880 in two speed boost to eventually spiral 370 00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:19,680 out 371 00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:21,920 through the solar system lucy will fly 372 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:22,800 by 373 00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:25,279 more asteroids than any other mission 374 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:27,120 according to the lead science 375 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:28,720 organization of the project the 376 00:13:34,069 --> 00:13:32,399 southwest research institute in texas 377 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:34,079 the goal according to nasa's to learn 378 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:36,240 about the mysterious dark trojan 379 00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:39,839 asteroids that travel ahead and behind 380 00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:43,360 jupiter in this orbit about 400 million 381 00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:45,680 miles from earth's orbit the space 382 00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,399 agency believes the trojans date to 383 00:13:52,629 --> 00:13:50,880 begin uh 384 00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:52,639 the eighth space agency believes the 385 00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:55,839 trojans date to the beginning of the 386 00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:58,320 solar system okay 387 00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:00,240 so they just got there tracking 388 00:14:04,770 --> 00:14:03,680 asteroids with these giant uh 389 00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:04,780 satellites out there okay 390 00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:06,320 [Music] 391 00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:08,240 it's happening they're doing it 392 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:10,000 so 393 00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:14,399 systems which actually are dual 394 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:17,440 asteroids that circle each other 395 00:14:20,790 --> 00:14:18,720 this is all 396 00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:20,800 incredible stuff all right 397 00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:21,600 so 398 00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:23,600 why is this damn exciting i'm not 399 00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:25,040 following the story mike why is nasa 400 00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:26,560 selling cigarettes again 401 00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:27,839 uh i think it has less to do with 402 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,480 cigarettes and more to do with like 403 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:32,399 beetle songs like lucy in the sky with 404 00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:34,800 diamonds that kind of thing oh they're 405 00:14:39,590 --> 00:14:37,440 nerds i think they're like more like 406 00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:39,600 beetle nerds trying to incorporate their 407 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:41,120 love of the beatles so they named it 408 00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:42,639 after that because their boss has like 409 00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,959 that album on the wall probably in his 410 00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:46,880 office they're like dude name it name it 411 00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:49,360 lucy you'll like that oh the mission 412 00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:52,399 takes its name from the fossilized human 413 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:55,040 lucy skeleton found in africa in 1974 414 00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:57,120 that provided unique insight into 415 00:15:02,710 --> 00:15:00,880 humanity's evolution according to nasa 416 00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:02,720 not in the beatles and not from loose 417 00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:05,040 cigarettes but that but so the skeleton 418 00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:06,639 for the potential missing link found in 419 00:15:10,949 --> 00:15:08,959 the was it the the rift valley in africa 420 00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:10,959 what's that have to do with space 421 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,399 i don't know blah blah blah 422 00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:14,560 yeah i don't think so 423 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:15,279 well 424 00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:17,279 it goes on so according to nasa the 425 00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:20,320 skeleton was named because 426 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:21,920 teams of 427 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:24,240 evacuators 428 00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:26,160 at the site discovery here's some 429 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:28,079 excavators excavators i'm sorry yeah i'm 430 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:29,920 just evacuating they've got to get this 431 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:35,030 evacuated 432 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:36,720 they're [\h__\h] and pissing everywhere 433 00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:38,399 they're back oh you're thinking bodily 434 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,440 evacuation all right uh excavators at 435 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:43,600 this discovery site routine routinely 436 00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:47,040 played the beatles tune lucy in the sky 437 00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:48,320 with diamonds 438 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:50,320 what there is a beatles connection there 439 00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:51,920 so it all sounds like it was made up 440 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:54,240 after the fact probably this is all 441 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:55,839 super tenuous 442 00:15:59,910 --> 00:15:56,800 yeah 443 00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:02,069 okay your mom's name is 444 00:16:05,350 --> 00:16:03,680 yeah let's just say the australopithecus 445 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:05,360 lucy it's probably named after a person 446 00:16:11,189 --> 00:16:06,880 right 447 00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:14,230 so uh there's more asteroid news uh for 448 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:16,959 you there so we're blown up asteroids 449 00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:19,120 uh we're sending out satellites to 450 00:16:22,710 --> 00:16:21,600 investigate uh asteroids because of the 451 00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:22,720 beetles 452 00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:25,600 and asteroids are falling through uh 453 00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:28,880 houses in british columbia 454 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:30,160 that's what i'm getting out of all this 455 00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:31,839 so you raise a good point they're going 456 00:16:34,949 --> 00:16:33,199 to send one of these missions up there 457 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,959 to look at asteroids right 458 00:16:38,069 --> 00:16:36,480 then they also have a plan to blow up 459 00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:38,079 these asteroids when they find them so 460 00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:39,839 they're no longer a risk but by blowing 461 00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:41,040 them up you make them into smaller 462 00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:42,800 fragments which are going to rain down 463 00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:44,480 presumably to burn up but some of which 464 00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:45,839 are going to be large enough to smash 465 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:48,000 through the roof of your house probably 466 00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:50,399 radioactive fragments yeah because they 467 00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:51,759 use a nuclear 468 00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:52,959 bomb to blow them up so are we going to 469 00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:55,839 be able to sue nasa directly now 470 00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:58,160 uh i hope so at that point 471 00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:00,079 i mean they're doing this stuff some 472 00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:02,000 sort of damage 473 00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:04,480 then everybody gets a bad asteroid yeah 474 00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:11,429 it's just a bunch of a crazy bunch of 475 00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:13,280 malarkey here 476 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,520 all right 477 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:16,880 i don't know i mean 478 00:17:20,710 --> 00:17:19,039 you know according to werner braun braun 479 00:17:22,470 --> 00:17:20,720 you know we have what we're on the 480 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:22,480 asteroid step and then the alien 481 00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:23,600 invasion 482 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,799 well according to his secretary 483 00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:26,160 according to his secretary but we 484 00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:28,559 listened to einstein's secretary not but 485 00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:30,559 a couple stories ago yeah and he 486 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:31,679 apparently 487 00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:35,840 worked over some aliens yeah so 488 00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:38,240 i'll get your interest for you colonel 489 00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:39,919 give me my give
