just come back from a conference and 56 00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:37,079 these are all the astronomers that have 57 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:39,329 been looking for exoplanets I mean from 58 00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:42,959 all around the world and based on based 59 00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:44,790 on those numbers of what they have found 60 00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:47,150 in different segments of the universe 61 00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:50,430 they figure that there are for every 62 00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:52,620 star in the universe and that's a number 63 00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:54,000 you can't cram in your head 64 00:02:59,089 --> 00:02:57,000 not at all many zeroes but for every 65 00:03:02,599 --> 00:02:59,099 star in the universe they calculate this 66 00:03:06,020 --> 00:03:02,609 one and a half planets and out of that 67 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:06,030 incredible number of planets exoplanets 68 00:03:12,379 --> 00:03:09,450 they calculate it at least two billion 69 00:03:16,939 --> 00:03:12,389 and that's with a B two billion 70 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:16,949 earth-like planets orbiting a brown 71 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:19,769 dwarf similar to our star in an 72 00:03:27,679 --> 00:03:24,290 inhabitable zone with liquid water Wow a 73 00:03:29,119 --> 00:03:27,689 billion now our galaxy is four billion 74 00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:29,129 years old right 75 00:03:35,149 --> 00:03:32,280 the universe is 14 point five billion 76 00:03:37,969 --> 00:03:35,159 years old yeah and 2-quart Jodie 77 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:37,979 Foster's character in contact if we're 78 00:03:46,369 --> 00:03:44,879 the only ones what a waste of space yeah 79 00:03:48,409 --> 00:03:46,379 over the over the years i've been doing 80 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:48,419 i've been doing this

Mach two point seven two 1099 00:52:29,269 --> 00:52:27,000 point seven is the ideal cruising speed 1100 00:52:31,910 --> 00:52:29,279 for the Blackbird it's still pretty good 1101 00:52:33,890 --> 00:52:31,920 on fuel consumption but you're not 1102 00:52:35,450 --> 00:52:33,900 thermally stressing anything on the 1103 00:52:38,359 --> 00:52:35,460 airplane it's not until you go above 1104 00:52:42,620 --> 00:52:38,369 Mach three that the the friction and the 1105 00:52:46,940 --> 00:52:42,630 thermal heating builds up 11 o'clock at 1106 00:52:49,130 --> 00:52:46,950 night 3/4 moon he gets a glint off 1107 00:52:53,900 --> 00:52:49,140 something metallic about five or six 1108 00:52:56,900 --> 00:52:53,910 miles away about 85,000 feet straight 1109 00:52:59,599 --> 00:52:56,910

the 1115 00:53:18,259 --> 00:53:14,549 the engines are an absolute minimum 1116 00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:18,269 burner the airplane wants to fly fast 1117 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:20,730 it'll it'll fly it is a way to 1118 00:53:24,890 --> 00:53:23,130 destruction if you let it you blow the 1119 00:53:29,150 --> 00:53:24,900 engine inlets out first before you do 1120 00:53:30,980 --> 00:53:29,160 anything but so Dave pushes the 1121 00:53:32,539 --> 00:53:30,990 throttles forward there's about a 10 1122 00:53:35,210 --> 00:53:32,549 degree Bank and he's climbing 1123 00:53:37,009 --> 00:53:35,220 accelerating he's going to try to get 1124 00:53:39,380 --> 00:53:37,019 close to this thing and he figured he 1125 00:53:41,390 --> 00:53:39,390 was a but still a mile or so away 1126 00:53:44,450 --> 00:53:41,400 there may be a thousand or so feet below 1127 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:44,460 it not taking his eye off of it and this 1128 00:53:50,599 --> 00:53:46,890 thing takes off at about a 30-degree 1129 00:53:51,799 --> 00:53:50,609 angle of attack and left him like it was 1130 00:53:56,029 --> 00:53:51,809 hit in the other direction 1131 00:53:58,370 --> 00:53:56,039 that's doesn't say he doesn't know what 1132 00:54:04,970 --> 00:53:58,380 what kind of it's not like he's going 1133 00:54:10,250 --> 00:54:04,980 slow so he he retires from the Air Force 1134 00:54:13,039
