0:31 Speaker 2 Sunday Morning, Well, like every Sunday, to expand our minds, we have our friend doctor Sky. But as we all, name is Steve Kates. Well, Steve, what do you have for us this Sunday morning?

0:43 Speaker 3 Well, John, good morning, Good Sunday morning to everybody listening. We’re gonna go back a little bit in time and talk about something that happened May twenty eighth. What happened Blue Origin Jeff Bezos big rocket, the New Glen was strapped to the launch pad to do what they call a hot fire, and something said that happened to the

1:00 entire rocket. Many people may know by now the entire rocket assembly exploded on the launch pad. Now, let’s give fair credit to this particular project. Bezos and his team of the aerospace engineers and space scientists have worked very hard, John to develop these be four rocket motors, the main rocket motors. They’re powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen

1:22 and they have to fire for one hundred and ninety seconds when that rocket gets off the ground to escape velocity. But John, sadly the entire launch pad LC thirty six in Flariden was destroyed as we know, and they were actually set for a June fourth launch to put some forty line satellites into orbit. But here’s the practical side

1:40 of what’s going to happen, John. Right now, the entire Moon mission with Artemis and also the connection with Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin is probably going to get a setback. Why they Bezos and his team are developing the Blue moon Lander very much essential for when we do land on the Moon, and before they do that, they’re going

1:59 to land the robot called the Blue Moon Mark one to test the system out. So it’s John, in the simplest way I can say it, it’s a setback for the whole Moon mission because they need that component, the lunar Lander, and with this rocket explosion, things are obviously a little bit unsettled at this point.

2:17 Speaker 2 Well, you know, I was so surprised, because does that set us back at all in me on anything on the on the Moon or on what we’re doing on the Moon.

2:27 Speaker 3 Well, John, it probably does if the contracts go the way they are, and I’m not privy to all the fine details. Obviously SpaceX is working on the main rocket the starship, but it all goes as I read it here right now. It is obviously going to be a bit of a setback, Isaacman. The NASA directors indicated that,

2:45 but I say this way, don’t rush it. Obviously we’ve been there before, and I think you would wholeheartedly agree. Make sure you have the right equipment that’s been obviously tested, and especially if you’re going to put human beings on the surface of the Moon. Yes, John, probably does set us back a bit.

3:02 Speaker 2 May And NASA has been saying that they want to build something more permanent on the Moon. Is this part of this particular mission or is that in the future future.

3:12 Speaker 3 Well, John, it’s kind of well linked to the same thing. Yes, they need to get cargo to the surface of the Moon to build the habitation, to build a place to survive on the Moon. So they’re together. These projects are hand in hand, so we’ll have to see what happens.

3:26 But in order to get that particular heavy load of material up to the Moon, you’re going to be depending on Starship, Elon, Musk, Pride and Joy the most powerful. Of course, at least we know delivery rocket to the moon.

3:38 So yes, all these things are pretty much hand in hand. But you got a land and you have to have a habitation to live more than just one quick few hours journey. We’ll have to see what happens.

3:48 Speaker 2 I understood. The other thing that people are talking about is the disclosures that are becoming out. It’s going to become a very very hot issue very well. We get the joke is we get nineteen fifties type pictures of the possible of the possible UFOs, but that there’s other more important pictures available. I mean, one general has said

4:22 that there’s a picture of the UFO next to the B fifty two and there was a being looking through each other to be fifty two. And there’s other stories that the astronauts have been restricted from saying things.

4:41 Speaker 3 Yes, John, there’s so many things. Even with this the sculpture, a simple seventh grade mind would say, give us some concrete evidence. Obviously, John, I’m a believer that there’s life out in the universe. The problem is, if we’ve had all these alleged recoveries and alien body captures, obviously we need to see one bit of credible evidence. So with

5:01 this whole story, it continues on obviously one of the biggest news stories, as you know, in the entire world. We’re waiting for some kind of disclosure. And Spielberg’s movie Obviously Disclosure of Course, appropriately named, comes out to hopefully give us a little bit more insight from his great genius and the thought patterns. But John, the mystery continues

5:23 because we’re going to continue on our own show, The Doctors Guy Experience, getting some of the best people we can to do what open up our minds about these mysteries, and especially one you’re.

5:33 Speaker 2 On every every Saturday at midnight, actually Saturday at midnight and Friday night at midnight, which is Sunday Saturday morning and Sunday morning twelve o’clock to two o’clock and I love those shows, and they you know, and they’re so intellectual in factual and what you also had to talk about, you wanted to talk about Jupiter. What the heck is

5:59 going on in Jupiter?

6:00 Speaker 3 John, This is interesting. Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, of course, is incredible. It might be a planet factory. What does that mean, John, Of all the planets in the Solar System, Jupiter still has one hundred and fifteen known moons. Saturn actually takes the prize with two hundred and ninety two. But around Jupiter, many astronomers

6:19 have detected this ring of objects like dust and particles. And if we believe how planetary systems form, well that takes a long time to explain it. But what they’re saying is Jupiter may have this ring of material around it which helps build planets, and that of course goes out to the universe for any planets that are around

6:37 these stars we know there are planets. Maybe this is one of the creation paths to how planets actually formed, one of many opening up our minds. The John really quickly. The Mystery of the Week continues on this, and here’s the question, is Earth’s rotation actually slowing, and the answer is yes, but the numbers are very tiny. It’s caused

6:59 by the Moon’s gravity pull, which changes. So we’re adding about one point seven to two point four milliseconds a century. Doesn’t sound like a lot. The reason his mass on the Earth slowly moves toward the equator. And this is over big time space.

7:14 Speaker 2 And I think we have to worry about it in about a billion years.

7:18 Speaker 3 I get right, But John, here’s an answer that many people may not know to this question. Back Oi maybe one point four billion years ago, a day on the Earth was eighteen hours long. Now we’re twenty three hours, fifty nine minutes and change. So we’re going to be slowing down. But I don’t think we have to worry

7:36 about it anytime soon. And don’t forget look into the northwest sky this week, John, this is amazing. Jupiter and Venus will converge together in the sky about the closenesses. He took his thumb at arm’s length. That is an amazing conjunction. Jupiter and Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.

7:55 A beautiful month to get out and look in the sky as we reveal the mysteries in many ways of what’s out beyond this particular planet.

8:04 Speaker 2 Thank you so much. We’ll talk to you again real soon.

8:07 Speaker 3 Thank you, John
