A lot of things have really ramped up in the last week about flying cars. So, a little bit later on the show we’re really looking–
STEVE
So we are really that close to the Jetsons?
MARLO
We’re getting there. It’s actually amazing what’s going on right now.
STEVE
Actually, it was funny, during the break. Again, during the break, you were showing me some pictures of NASA. I’m like, wow, that’s really cool. There’s the moon and what’s the celestial body over there? I’m like, and I’m trying to – it’s not round. It’s like an asteroid. I was just, this tiny little speck off in the distance. I’m like, oh, wait a minute. Scratch the screen. What’d you have for breakfast this morning?
MARLO
A bagel.
STEVE
Okay. I’m thinking it might have been the bagel
MARLO
With a little cream cheese next to it, right?
STEVE
That would’ve been the milky way
MARLO
Yes, we are now around the moon. Orion is there. This is, I love this. Last night they were interviewing people from NASA. One of the NASA directors said the team is giddy about how well Artemis One is performing. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard the word giddy ever come out of anybody from NASA before.
STEVE
It’s like watching an episode of the Big Bang Theory except grown-up.
MARLO
They said the imagery coming back from the dark side of the moon is stunning.
STEVE So were there Decepticons?
MARLO
No Decepticons
STEVE
Chinese?
MARLO
No Chinese.
STEVE
Yet.
MARLO
Yet. So the closest they’ve been, maybe they’ve been 80 miles away from the lunar surface. So you never know. So the next time it goes up, it will actually have astronauts, but they will also not land on the moon. And then later this decade we’ll be putting people back on the moon to start building a moon base.
STEVE
They were doing a story on what they were gonna deploy from the next moonshot.. And they started talking about base, how some of that technology was based off of some old technology because the old technology had worked so well. And I forget the name of the rover, but they brought up a rover that was supposed to do a 60 day mission on Mars and it’s still chugging along. 11 years later. It’s still fully functioning.
MARLO
Supposed to have a short lifespan as well.
STEVE
So when you put up a solar powered anything, it really functions well.
MARLO
Yeah. You’re oh, I forget what they call it, the most efficient solar arrays we have on the planet right now probably operate at about 30%. So anyway, we’re getting way off the topic here again but Artemis is working like it should, Orion is now.
