3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.879
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.320
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan ol Mallley, along
5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:25.320
with Trey Trendholm and Jerry Caldwell. Coming up on today's show.
6
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:39.920
If we get this far, one man's impressive amount of arrests.
7
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:42.759
I don't want to tell you what it is yet
8
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.119
because if I tell you how many it is, you'll
9
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:46.840
want to start with that instead. But I want to
10
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.600
save that because we have important stuff to get to
11
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:55.000
here today inside the Treehouse. Also, we have information on
12
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.679
the I five Flasher, a Michigan escape artist. You have
13
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.600
to see to believe. But we are going to start
14
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:07.480
today with a little bit of nostalgia and a little
15
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.879
bit of current events all rolled into one big ass rocket.
16
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.079
I am talking about our triumphant return to the Moon.
17
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.200
The Artemis two rocket is set to blast off as
18
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.959
we are recording this on April first. The countdown is
19
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.640
on for the Artemis two rocket to go back to
20
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.239
the Moon. I believe fly around it and then come
21
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.400
back doesn't sound exciting, but it's space travel, which means
22
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.480
it's really eff and hard, and I can't Jerry. I
23
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.439
love your enthusiasm on this, but I don't know if
24
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.400
everyone else is feeling it, because I see it on
25
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.719
news coverage and stuff, but I don't feel the excitement.
26
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.120
I don't know if it's if it's because all of
27
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.920
our attention spans are so shortened nowadays, or there's so
28
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.159
much going on that it's hard to focus on one
29
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.519
major event because it feels like there's fifty major events
30
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.680
all happening everywhere, all at the same damn time. It's
31
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.800
hard to be like, yeah, we're going back to the moon. So, Jerry,
32
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.680
based on your enthusiastic reaction, you seem to be on
33
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.080
board with You're you seem to be very excited about
34
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.280
Artemis two going back to the moon. Yes, what about you?
35
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.840
I'm thrilled. I mean it is.
36
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.560
Sorry, the look on your face said the exact opposite
37
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:33.879
the entire time I'm talking about it.
38
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.639
Well, I because you're talking about it, and it kind
39
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.199
of in the same way people took the Space Shuttle
40
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:47.280
as routine because we've been there once before. People kind
41
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.199
of feel like this is routine, but it's a big
42
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:55.120
deal and it has driven me nuts. Because the last
43
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.680
Space Shuttle LA launch was in twenty eleven, so we've
44
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.280
been fifteen years essentially without a space program, something that
45
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.560
has kind of been a staple of our country since
46
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.639
sixty one. And especially when Kennedy you know, said we're
47
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:09.639
going to go to the Moon.
48
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.479
And we all thought, man, that president's crazy.
49
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.560
Yeah. But and then because but the you know, and
50
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.080
even the bigger context is this is the first step
51
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.599
to possibly Mars or you know, setting some even setting
52
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.479
up some kind of lunar base. So yeah, you know,
53
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.240
it's it's a it's a big deal and there's nothing
54
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.039
routine about it, and these things can go wrong, and uh,
55
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:46.759
but I'm very much looking forward to it. I I
56
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.120
I miss like I Space Shuttle launches were so cool
57
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:50.360
to me.
58
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.439
Yeah, yeah, growing up with them. I'm with you, man,
59
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.159
I loved it. My dad was you know, sort of
60
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:03.400
a uh hobby astronomer, and we had one of those big,
61
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.400
fat telescopes, you know, like diameter of a Thanksgiving dinner
62
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.039
plate kind of a thing, and we'd be in the
63
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.080
backyard and being in rural Oklahoma having one of those. Yeah,
64
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.399
we saw some stuff. I mean, like we're counting craters
65
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.000
on the Moon. I still remember how these comic going by,
66
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.959
and I just got chills thinking about it in our
67
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.319
backyard with that telescope, there's no ambient light out there.
68
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.639
The only interference there was was the occasional coyote howl.
69
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.800
And we're just watching how these comet streak across the
70
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.439
sky through this telescope and I and again, I mean,
71
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:42.800
it's it's amazing, powerful stuff. And then this, you know,
72
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.240
the Shuttle program, everything you're talking about, Trey, all of
73
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.480
us watching Space Shuttle launches in school or like key
74
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.319
for the Challenger flight, being kept home from schools. My
75
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.040
dad and I could watch it together. Obviously I didn't
76
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.000
go so well, So yeah, I mean it it's weird
77
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.439
because looking at the headlines on the Artemis two launch yesterday,
78
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.800
looking at the headlines yesterday for the launch today, I
79
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.160
got that nostalgia feeling. It's like, oh, this feels retro,
80
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.560
feels kind of cool, but still kind of like there's
81
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.079
so much else going on. I don't even I don't
82
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.720
even know what time the launch is supposed to be.
83
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.480
Three o'clock every time, three okay, three o'clock, three o'clock
84
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.759
Dallas time, Like are there are there launch parties. Is
85
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.959
anyone like going to the bar or anything and doing
86
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.360
Artemis to watch parties or anything, or is it just
87
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:34.959
we're all just gonna watch it on our phone.
88
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.759
I haven't made any specific plans because we're busy around here,
89
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.279
but see I'm going.
90
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.959
I think the other thing that's that's kind of unfair
91
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:57.959
for Artemis is between Bezos's group, Elon Muskin's group, Richard
92
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.920
Branson's group. We've seen a lot of launches just not
93
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.040
you know, this one is going the distance of you know,
94
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:08.759
lunar orbit and then coming back.
95
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.000
And this one, I guess would be considered an official
96
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.639
deal because it's NASA. It's not a space X thing,
97
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:22.079
it's not a Blue Dial, Blue Origins whatever, like you said.
98
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.839
It's it's an official launch. It's not the private sector, you.
99
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.279
Know, right well, and and but most of those are
100
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.920
in some way, shape or form in conjunction with NASA.
101
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.879
Yeah you know, I mean like NASA is benefiting from
102
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.279
the technology from.
103
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:38.399
You know, the private sector.
104
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.360
Yeah. Well, it's like everyone. It's like, you know, especially
105
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.399
if eat one of Elon Musku's rockets go sideways, like
106
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.720
that's expected that you know, they don't expect to launch
107
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.319
every time, you know, in the beginning stages, and everything's
108
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.879
going to be perfect. There it happens.
109
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:54.480
I know.
110
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.279
It's actually funny when you think about it from the
111
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:01.000
scale of dollars invested. As a cun tree, if one
112
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.040
of our rockets blows up, we're all like, oh God,
113
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.360
how much did that cost? If it's one of Elon's,
114
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.639
it's like, he's got it. He's fine. Now, granted there's
115
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.759
a big chunk of American dollars that have subsidized his rocket,
116
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:15.759
but it's not entirely ours.
117
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.279
Well, just the reusable rocket technology that they've developed is
118
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:25.319
huge and makes it much more affordable.
119
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:26.040
M hm.
120
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.519
The rockets on the sides that come down and they
121
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.560
land point up on platforms in the ocean.
122
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:35.639
That's beautiful.
123
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.240
Oh, it's an outstanding thing. I think that's one of
124
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:42.879
the biggest advancements in you know, space travel technology that
125
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.439
have happened this century is being able to bring the
126
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.120
rockets back and use them again. It's like, yeah, that's
127
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.360
great mm hm. And that was started by the Space Shuttle. Yeah,
128
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.199
and you would think having something come home or return
129
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.360
to base it sounds simple, but then obviously the execution
130
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.360
of it is something very very different. So it's very
131
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.120
cool that they're able to do that. Are we getting
132
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:14.439
like a constant live stream of this Artemis two mission?
133
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.319
When they how many? How many laps are they doing
134
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:18.000
around the Moon?
135
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:18.600
Do we know?
136
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:19.680
Or is one?
137
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.319
I think they're going to orbit the Moon a couple
138
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:22.759
of times.
139
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.319
There's I believe there's two different orbits, and then yeah,
140
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:33.240
they're gonna it's not long. I would say a day orbiting. Okay,
141
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.720
I haven't looked at the official but I'm quite sure
142
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:41.240
that NASA will be live streaming everything.
143
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.960
On NASA Plus streaming service or on their YouTube channel.
144
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.080
Okay, when you say NASA Plus, I'm like, God, did
145
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.080
they also have a subscription plan? We all have one? Yeah,
146
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.120
NASA plus Treehouse Plus.
147
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.279
So yeah, the first one is going the first orbit
148
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:06.559
will be practice, uh, getting the system into orbit, and
149
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.120
then the second one is for the gravity sling shot
150
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:09.879
back to Earth.
151
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:14.399
I love it when those when those sling shot things
152
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.240
that I've seen in movies happen in real life.
153
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:17.840
M hm.
154
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.039
And it's also to test the life support system of
155
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.320
the Iran spacecraft.
156
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:23.080
Got it.
157
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.440
Yeah, that's I just pulled this up from the European
158
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.000
Space something and it's yeah, saying something very similar to
159
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.799
that that it's about testing off the life spport systems
160
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.519
and all that stuff, which is all important. One of
161
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.480
the great things about the space travel thing is people
162
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.799
so many dumb people bitch and moan about how much
163
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.120
it costs just to you know, fly around space. It's like,
164
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.039
there are massive benefits and if you you know, dig
165
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.720
one line deeper underneath a headline of things, you'll learn
166
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.720
about all the advancements in technology that come from space travel.
167
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.440
It's not just about flying around going we I mean,
168
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.879
that's the reason how we have velcro, it's the reason
169
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.120
why we have duct tape. I mean, all these technological
170
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.919
advancements happened because we did it in space. And they're like, hey,
171
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.080
we can use this at home. Like Tang and I
172
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.720
had a list at one point of like all the
173
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.039
everyday uses, all the advancements and products and things that
174
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.759
have you know, sort of spawn from space exploration, and
175
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:29.360
there's a lot.
176
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.919
There's a lot well, and one of the biggest things
177
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.919
they're working on that is not I read something that
178
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.159
they think they can put it into a test run,
179
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.559
but ultimately it's going to be a nuclear powered rocket
180
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:49.000
that you know, so then you won't have the need
181
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:50.399
for refueling.
182
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.159
Right, gotcha.
183
00:10:53.960 --> 00:11:00.240
It's basically an ion drive that's being powered by uh
184
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:04.919
fusion Core. Basically, we are so smart.
185
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:12.559
I feel like we should do the Companion podcast for NASA.
186
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.919
The only downside is is sometimes I'm such Look, look
187
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:22.320
I'm I. I like to think I'm slightly optimistic but
188
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.759
operate more as a realist. But I'll be honest with you,
189
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.480
there are times that I don't want to be on
190
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.279
this planet anymore because I feel like sometimes I'm just
191
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:36.480
surrounded by a bunch of morons. Present company excluded. I
192
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.360
easily could have said included.
193
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.399
But I did, and I wouldn't.
194
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:42.279
I wouldn't have make argument.
195
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.399
Yeah, yeah, but you guys are among my favorite people.
196
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.360
It doesn't matter how stupid we are. We're all friends,
197
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.799
so you know, we're we good. But I think we
198
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.559
all can kind of relate to that where it's like
199
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.600
you look around some days you're just like, am I
200
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.679
the only smart one around here? Especially if you're on
201
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.559
six thirty five or something. But the other biggest news
202
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:07.159
that I can't get away from today, besides the artemist two.
203
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:14.679
Launch is the is this escape artist that police in
204
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:22.159
Michigan tried to arrest keywords there escape artists police tried
205
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:27.360
to arrest. This is This is an amazing feat. You know,
206
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:36.679
have you ever heard the phrase ninjas don't exist? Yeah,
207
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:43.879
they won't beat the fuck. Look, here's the longer version.
208
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.000
Here we go, so hell yeah, I don't know. So
209
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.759
here we have Muskegan Heights Police. This woman's just been arrested.
210
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.679
She's in the back of this SUV squad car and
211
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.879
kind of like a dog. You have the rear passenger
212
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.399
window rolled down all most just halfway so she can
213
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.679
get some air instead of using it to breathe. She
214
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:08.159
sees that as an escape patch, so she starts to
215
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.440
maneuver her way through the window. And so when this
216
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.559
video starts, and this guy's recording, what's an excellent play
217
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.919
by play, By the way, she's already chest and head out.
218
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.320
So she's already got her boobs through the window and
219
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:22.320
into the outside.
220
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.320
I don't tell him nothing, I'll say.
221
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.679
Now she's shimmying. She looks she looks like a sort
222
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.840
of like an inch worm, crawling her way out of
223
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.159
this car window, wearing all black.
224
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:44.120
Sweats, I will have a physics question here in just
225
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:44.840
a moment.
226
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.000
Fair enough, and keep in mind, I just want to
227
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.960
set the stakes here here if if you're not thinking
228
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.440
about it, if she she it is a very real
229
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.039
possibility that she loses her any sort of core strength,
230
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.120
gets tired, and then just falls out of this car
231
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.639
window and face plants the concrete beneath. So this is
232
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.960
a very dangerous thing. And she's handcuffed behind her back,
233
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.399
right right leg is out, right leg is out, and
234
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:20.000
then using the fender, the rear fender, she puts her
235
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.279
right foot on the fender for just a little bit.
236
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.440
Of less there.
237
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.480
What the hell is she hanging on with right there?
238
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.399
I think it's a left boobs. I think it is.
239
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.639
I think it's her left boob is somehow hanging on
