Speaker 1 Sunday morning. Let’s talk to one of the scientists working on the Moon mission for the Artemists. His name is doctor Weeping Wu and he’s a Nancy’s NASA scientist, a physicist on the system, that’s the Automist system. And doctor Wu tell us the Automist two did not make a Moon landing, and now they do not think the Automist

three is going to make a moon landing either. And you’re in charge as far as making sure if they do make a landing, they make a safe landing. You want to tell our audience about it.

Speaker 2 Yes, first of all, thank you John Apfel having me here, my name awaiting you. I’m a physicist and crew the space craft, the substantem manager at the NASA Kennedy Space Center. Yes, Autemas two was designed is to try to fly by the Moon with actual on board after fifty four years Apollo program. So this is the extraordinary, uh extraordinary achievement.

And with the.

Speaker 1 Successful what’s gonna happen Automist three.

Speaker 2 Oh, Autemas three is the new added Artoma three with other lending with other astronaut on board, with other landing on the Moon. However, we’re test how the artomists how the vehicle work directly, uh followed landing on the Moon’s trajectory and also testing the moon lender. So in order for everything to be work work perfectly, we’ll have to

test out before Artemis four, which you would have actronaut on board with with with extra lender and the lending human on the moon.

Speaker 1 So AT three is not going to have no astronauts on it, but they’re going to make a tempted landing. They’re going to make a land with no astronauts on it to test the Automist three.

Speaker 2 You are right, yeah, because we wanted to make any time before landy human on the moon. Matt Timmer, when’s the astronaut border we’re going to be landing on the moon.

Speaker 1 So and the Atomist four, the autumi Ist four is supposed to if Autemist three is successful, that Automist four will will attempt to make the landing on the Moon with astronauts in it.

Speaker 2 Oh, Dams four will landing on the moon with ax anot more So that will be twenty twenty eight. So that’s the date exactly, you know, return you as atronaut and the moon after fifty four years. So now let.

Speaker 1 Me ask you how long you’ve been working in NASA.

Speaker 2 Oh I worked for NASA. Oh so since the two thousand and two, so over way over twenty.

Speaker 1 Years, right, twenty years? Now? Are you just I tell you I was here. I will. I’m old enough for when when nineteen sixty nine, when the moon landing was uh, and I’m disappointed we didn’t come as far ahead in science as we should have been. Are you disappointed?

Speaker 2 Oh? You know if yeah, if you’re talking about at this point that I wouldn’t wish you we keep keeper, you know, have a moon landing and keep a building, have a long runer uh long n plan for a colonized mom or utilized resource. I wouldn’t I thought that that might be. But the I can consider. I know

that at that time the technology is not a advances now and at the cost at that time, you know it’s almost three percent of a DDP. You know how much that is, right, So probably costly of the cause is a bigger reason. But now we have a new technology.

I believe the successor for mission of atoms two. I think that we can bring everything back.

Speaker 1 Well. I pray, I pray for I pray for the success and the missions. What else would you like we got another minute left. What else would you like to tell the American people on a Sunday morning?

Speaker 2 Oh? Okay, I like to share a secret of the universe. Please tell with with with you. You know right now we have especially the physicists physics. Uh you know, we have lots of problems with the physics. Is why is the cultifical to understand? So that’s the one. And also we have a problem with the chemistry. Why how how

chemical reaction happens? Why there’s so difficult the develop a new materials. And also we have a biological biology problem. What’s the origin of life? Origin of so? How? And the consciousness? And I you leave the theory I developed called the you own theory of everything that universal fundamental particle theory of everything will provide is exactly answer.

Speaker 1 So if you have time, we will we will interview again in the near future and we’ll talk more about it and maybe and it sounds very interesting. But meanwhile, I pray, when does artemist for when there is there a projected date for artemist for.

Speaker 2 All two thousand and eight by end of a two thousand and twenty eight Yeah, we’ll have in tween two years, we’ll have to have a seven US at another foot on the moon.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much. Doctor You and I will for you soon and we’ll set up another discussion for your theories on the universe.

Speaker 2 Thank you very much
