1:03:38>> Um the last photo that I want to show is from the Artemis science team that was in Houston. They did an incredible job. They did an incredible job preparing the astronauts for their mission and then guiding the astronauts through what they wanted to look at. Like, "Hey, look at this. What did you mean by that? Keep going. Keep talking. Um do all those observations." They've just done an incredible job and created a huge scientific reservoir that we're only really going to get the meat of when they get back and we're going to see all of the data that they have, you know. >> Right. >> I I I just want to take a moment to

1:04:18um congratulate and thank all of those who have been in many different aspects, whether it's within NASA directly, through contractors that were sourced to provide a number of services and ultimately products related to this mission. Um it is You are all unsung heroes in this story of human discovery. And uh one of the endeavors we're trying to do with this show is elevate the names, faces, and voices of many of you who are doing a lot of this fundamental work. But it it's not the Grammys, and it's

1:04:59not the Super Bowl halftime show. Uh but it is for millions and millions of people on the planet, and we just don't have a venue that ha really is able to make it compete with these other things. This is so >> But we're building it. >> We're trying to build that because this is some of the most important fun When When people look back in history, whose names do they remember? They remember Galileo. They They They remember Newton. They remember those who at the time were heretical, they didn't understand, they were pushing the envelope, but had this insatiable curiosity and were focused on doing the work.

1:05:40>> Yeah. >> Uh and I I'm going to get off my soapbox but >> And one more thing that I wanted to just comment about this photo is it's such a stark difference from the Apollo mission control. >> Yeah, that's a really good point. >> Because there's so many women in this photo. >> a really good point. >> that's just so cool. >> Yes. >> Right? That we I think, you know, we have a long way to go >> Yeah. >> as a society when it comes to gender equality in the sciences. >> Yes. >> But I think this shows just how far we've come. That there are all these women on the science team. >> Yes. >> On Artemis that are guiding the astronauts what to look for. What is this What are the questions that we want answered? What are the new questions that you are asking or the new

1:06:21observations that you've made that are making us ask new questions. It's just a complete night and day between mission control during Apollo, which was all men, and now, you know, quite quite a few women. I think that's very cool. >> 100% >> Just a shoutout. >> And it's it's huge progress. Um thank you to all of those who've supported, whether you're employed members families >> Yeah, just incredible stuff. >> Like this is a really big deal. >> Yeah. >> Um and uh if as Kat Williams says, uh we need haters. So, you know, let let you know, we're

1:07:02continuing to try to help people find a way to connect with these subjects. And just because they're not into it right now, that's okay. Um, if you're not doing anything important, you don't have any haters. You guys are doing something important and so naturally you're going to >> Exactly. push back on it and that's that's the way the world works. >> That's the way the world works. Um, be proud of the haters, you know? Okay, the final >> Frankly, we need more haters. We're not We're not important enough yet. We don't We don't have enough haters. >> Although there are a few people in the comments who are like they're definitely AI. That makes me feel good. >> You know, somebody thinks that we're so good We're we're big science, we're paid off by >> We're paid off Who's paying us? >> I would love to be paid. If anyone wants

1:07:43to pay us, that would be great. Like I would be lovely. I would love to get paid.
