Why the moon race is back on

16:15Uh there is a new head of NASA >> Yes. uh who's a private business type. >> Jared Isaacman? >> Uh yes. Yeah, and more of the the Elon prototype versus a more research scientist type of prototype. >> Yeah. We will see Yeah. >> uh what transpires. I do think it is an aggressive timeline. >> I think it's an aggressive timeline, but I think it's I think it's I think it's also correct. I think we need to be aggressive. I agree. I agree with that. Yeah, I agree. >> I we all know who's coming for it. >> Yeah, we got to go. We got to go. We got to go now. We got to make it happen. >> Yes. If you've seen For All Mankind, you've seen this literally seen the story before, and it's that's exactly what's happening is there's a clear

16:55geopolitical incentive by all of the spacefaring nations that the moon is uh a strategic asset. >> Yeah. And whoever gets there first has free roam >> Yeah. to establish again, where is the helium 3? Uh where are the potential ice and water deposits? All this stuff is going to matter. And if you're there first, it's hard for the other people Yeah. to get into those locations. >> Exactly. It's a It's a crude analogy and I understand that it's not perfect because of the history of colonialism and everything. But if I may, I'd like to compare this to the conquest of the New World, yeah, right? Yeah. Apparently,

17:36the Norwegians were here in like 700 years to 400 years before Christopher Columbus came and the rest of the European nations, right? But the Norwegians are not We don't speak Norwegian Right. in America, right? We don't even speak Spanish because even though the British were like second to I think probably fifth, they had the resources to build colonies, right? In this continent, in at least North America. So, um if if history has anything to say about this, we need to be there and we need to go there and we need to like actually stay and make a presence. Absolutely. And the last note to your

18:16point is as a part of the recent changes at NASA, they've canceled all the Mars-related stuff and now we're saying instead of doing basically a moon base Yeah. is now the priority. >> Yeah. Period. >> And and I also get that, right? It's like Mars, we've done a lot and also there's still like rovers Somehow JPL is so amazing Incredible. >> that like they they plan for a 2-year rover and then it's still going like 15 years later. >> Right. Like the wheels are broken and everything, but it's like, "No, I I I still Still got it. I can still do it." Still got it. Like So, yeah, I I get it and I'm looking forward to the next few years. I think it's going to be an amazing an amazing era for space exploration,

18:57for mankind in general. I can't wait for in about a few days if everything goes well and they do go to the moon. We're going to be able to look at the moon and cover it up with our thumb and be like there are like four people there like right now. And they will be looking at the Earth and they'll be able to cover it up with their thumb and be like everyone except for four people are behind my thumb. >> It's It's so >> It's It's going to be incredible to It's like living in the 1970s. Like Imagine looking at the moon and being like there's like four people there right now. >> Right. Right. Uh fascinating. Always been a big lover of space. I know it's something we both share. >> to be amazing. >> So, we will see as things continue to progress. Uh if you have

19:39if you're are a debunker about the moon landing, go watch our debunking video we already did and comment there. Yeah. Uh
