Why? They thanks for joining us on
0:32
this episode of Spice Nuts on
0:34
your host Andrew Dunkley. Glad you
0:36
could join us once again! Coming
0:38
up on this particular episode will
0:40
be looking at Australia's first female
0:42
astronaut announced this week. The name
0:44
is Catherine. Vanilla Pig will tell
0:46
you a little bit about her.
0:48
She had to go through court
0:50
process to get there but it's
0:52
all good news. Will also be
0:54
inspecting things within our solar system.
0:56
A lava like on Ios will
0:58
be looking a Jupiter's water. Or
1:00
lack of as the case may
1:02
be And a new theory as
1:04
to why methane is being found
1:06
on Mars and it's a strange
1:09
theory in Do Indeed will tell
1:11
you all about it on this
1:13
episode of Space Nuts. Damn right.
1:15
Oh yeah, no. I
1:18
don't think space
1:20
next. To.
1:26
Space Nice. Meal
1:28
good and joining. Is to
1:31
take a dip in the legs of
1:33
a oh is professor right? what's an
1:35
astronomer large? Hello Fred Yeah you'd want
1:37
to have you steel tipped boot so
1:39
I think if you do but the.
1:42
But. Yes, it's very good to be here Andrew,
1:44
I'm delighted to be back on Space Nurse once
1:46
again. I'm. Glad to have you,
1:48
otherwise I'd be sitting here making the
1:50
complete fool of myself, which we capital
1:53
to ally with the wherever that may
1:55
make it go fleets with us for
1:57
both. So what happens? anyway? it's a
1:59
little. It is
2:01
snow, otherwise we'd have to call it space
2:04
normals. Yeah. Yeah, probably got remarried
2:06
and it doesn't have a ring to it
2:08
at all. Now
2:11
are we, We might as well
2:13
get stuck straight in and first
2:16
cap off the ranks is this
2:18
announcement that that we have now
2:20
an Australian Female Astronaut First whenever
2:22
we met a couple of blocks
2:24
by this is our first female
2:27
astronaut and see a day. Really
2:29
work hard to get the city
2:31
just see so that the books
2:33
disturbed about out the way. Pascali.
2:37
Power and Andrew.
2:39
Ah. Puskas
2:41
on Us servers Adama Sunday Thomas both of
2:43
whom I actually had costs a lot to
2:46
do as if I accept both. Scully power
2:48
once led me completely straits after and it's
2:50
pursuit of seats prime Minister sides bride is
2:52
when a shed a cab with him. We
2:55
ended up or didn't end up a motel
2:57
going to bed which is why I expected
2:59
when it up in a box. That.
3:02
Was essential Things. To
3:05
come back to reality. Ah I've
3:08
also am I actually have met
3:10
her cousin bento pay an eye
3:12
on account of about the. I
3:15
caught on the occasion on which he was it
3:17
was down in Allied. I think it was of
3:19
the Space Agency because that's where she worked. A
3:22
day job is see earth as
3:24
agencies and to this is telling
3:27
space agency's cross This she is
3:29
the Space Agency Director Space Technology.
3:32
Ah and the must have been an event on
3:35
a think it was. A and
3:37
Rico per Palermo, who's the head
3:39
of the space agency who introduced
3:41
me to cast and congressmen for
3:43
that event was a duplex Fairly
3:45
regular trips down to Adelaide where
3:48
the Space Agency has it's headquarters.
3:50
Anyway, enough of that. What is
3:52
she to see sir? what is
3:54
not fully trained astronaut was he's
3:56
just finished a formal astronaut training
3:58
in Germany. T. I'm
4:01
basically somebody who's always wanted to be
4:04
an astronaut's let me quote what he
4:06
says in the news release when I
4:08
dreamed of becoming and us to north
4:10
as a child. I
4:12
never thought it possible to do so.
4:14
representing Australia is another to be graduating
4:17
as an astronaut with is trailing flag
4:19
on my shoulder or not she she
4:21
does reason why she saying that is
4:23
that I think both Andy Thomas and
4:26
Apple Scully power of the Us flag
4:28
on their shoulder because of thing they
4:30
were whilst they were Australian citizens out
4:32
bolland Australia a thing than Us citizenship
4:35
as well. So. Catherine
4:37
doesn't She's actually got Uk
4:39
citizenship as well below me,
4:41
and that some. Mean
4:43
cheap as she will represent Australia or
4:46
she goes up, say represents The Australia
4:48
is filled with opportunities to propel nation
4:50
science and technology forward in the global
4:53
space arena and to raise the level
4:55
of aspiration for the next generation out
4:57
my training and whatever comes next. A
4:59
lot of support for more trailing to
5:02
become involved in human spaceflight. So she's
5:04
now. She's now fully qualified. it will.
5:06
It remains to be seen as to
5:09
when she will get a slice. I
5:11
hope you will and of will. Have
5:13
talked about it of space know we
5:15
mine built to interview a wonder how
5:18
our wouldn't that be Leblanc Panacea his
5:20
saw am. But. I believe she's
5:22
one of six graduates out of
5:24
an original pool twenty two and
5:26
a half thousands. Dot. Set
5:29
the stage good of an
5:31
incredible said some. Pretty.
5:34
Pretty tight. But.
5:38
In the seventies doses as
5:40
it was an invitation for
5:42
Us citizens to apply for
5:44
astronaut training. Knowledge to
5:46
the advert, but I didn't qualify.
5:49
Doesn't to tool? Ah, really fast
5:51
For eleven was the limit on
5:53
six foot four so snow chanted
5:56
slogans, guess that's all I am
5:58
for it. five
6:00
to eleven. Yeah, it could go.
6:03
It's not too late. Andrew.
6:07
Oh, I think it probably is. Probably.
6:10
Although, you know, if I took
6:12
a leaf out of John Glenn's
6:14
book, I could probably get up
6:16
there. Yeah, well, that's right. I counted him when he
6:18
last went. Yes, yes. I'm
6:21
a bit young boy. It's
6:24
anticipated that all six of these
6:26
graduates should get into space before
6:28
2030. That's
6:30
your plan, I think. Great. It's excellent.
6:32
So, yeah, we've got to keep going until 2030
6:35
so we can talk to Catherine. There's
6:38
a nice comment
6:40
by the person I
6:43
just mentioned, Enrico Palomo, the head of
6:45
the Australian Space Agency, he says, we're
6:47
proud of Catherine. She will return to
6:49
Australia, a qualified astronaut brimming with knowledge,
6:51
insights and connections that will help generate
6:53
global opportunities for our industry.
6:55
And that's good news. It
6:57
is. And to wrap it up, she's 39
7:00
and a mother of two. And that's
7:03
good too. I mean, mums in
7:06
space would be rare, wouldn't they? I
7:10
don't know the statistics on that, but
7:13
it's something we could look at. Yes.
7:15
I'll write that down. Mums in space.
7:17
I like that. How many mums in
7:19
space? That's a good idea. And
7:22
yes, well done. And congratulations. We wish
7:24
her well, Catherine, Benel, Peg. Now, Fred,
7:27
let's move on to Juno, Juno, which
7:29
is just a little bit
7:31
further out than the
7:33
Moon and other places where astronauts
7:36
are headed soon. But this
7:39
is part
7:41
of the, sorry,
7:44
we're going to EO, but Juno is
7:46
the mission. EO is the
7:49
closest Moon to Jupiter and
7:52
they've been taking a very close look at it and
7:54
they're making some amazing discoveries on this mission. Absolutely.
7:58
So Juno, I
8:00
told me when you know is some
8:02
went into orbit around job so it's
8:04
been quite a while. I reckon it's
8:06
been four or five years or similar.
8:08
a we thought they extraordinary images of
8:10
for of the been on a cloud
8:12
tops on Jupiter stuff that we never
8:14
really imagine because or the so much
8:16
going on as was so too are
8:18
in a minute the summers going on
8:20
around Jupiter polls that you never actually
8:22
see from from ground based observation as
8:24
he is. Even the Hubble telescope for
8:26
the James Webb telescope which has taken
8:28
some very fine images. Of Jupiter, he
8:31
doesn't see that structure. For. Around
8:33
the north pole which is and
8:35
and south poles of Jupiter but
8:37
also what has happened is within
8:40
the last two are actually that
8:42
the last six months back in
8:44
December and again in February two
8:47
know made plus fly bys of
8:49
Ceo the innermost of but at
8:51
the moon's that were discovered by
8:54
Galileo Galilei and moons i'm a
8:56
insects emily admit minimum distance was
8:58
fifteen hundred kilometers from the surface
9:01
of a own. Ah, and
9:03
so lots of. Data. Taking
9:05
lots of image type
9:07
thing and that's basically
9:09
what we're talking about
9:11
because those being some
9:13
really quite striking and
9:15
imagery that's been produced
9:17
and I'm one of
9:19
the one of the
9:22
areas that was flown
9:24
basically a butter low
9:26
altitude and by the
9:28
humming hundred kilometers. Was
9:30
around when I think is
9:32
the the biggest and. of
9:35
the of the volcano's on to
9:38
know a genius sort of audio
9:40
video is riddled with volcanoes of
9:42
was volcanically active body in the
9:45
solar system. They. Get see sir,
9:47
it's heat for the activity from
9:49
the fact that he's in a
9:51
residence. Resident orbits with some of
9:53
the other Galilean moons ah, a
9:55
fat principally Europa and Ganymede. those
9:58
residents his basically score and squeeze
10:01
EO along with the
10:03
gravity of Jupiter itself to
10:06
warm up the centre by friction. Basically
10:09
you've got this squeezing and
10:11
squashing. And
10:13
so that's why it's so volcanically active.
10:15
And I think the most active, or
10:17
the biggest of these volcanoes is Loki.
10:21
And it sits in the middle of a lava
10:24
lake, which has been observed actually from the surface.
10:27
And I think we might have talked
10:29
a few years ago about observations which
10:32
were made from Earth of
10:35
the lava lake. It's called Loki Patera. That
10:39
showed that its surface kind of
10:42
dried up from time to time
10:44
and then turned over. You've got
10:47
these lava lake icebergs that actually
10:49
turned over. And
10:51
you might remember, because you've
10:54
increased the amount of infrared radiation that's coming
10:56
from it, which is how it's turned over.
10:58
Do you remember that? Yes, I do. Yes.
11:03
And it's quite a big lake too, isn't it? Yeah,
11:07
200 kilometres long, 127 miles. It's
11:11
not a small lake. We'd
11:13
call that an inland sea here, I think,
11:16
nearly. And it's lava. One
11:19
of the observations that Juno
11:22
has made is that there
11:24
is a very strong specular reflection that
11:26
comes off it, which means you're dealing
11:28
with a very smooth surface indeed. And
11:32
just to point out
11:34
that there are available on
11:36
the web some
11:38
YouTube basically reconstructions
11:41
of the imagery that make it
11:43
look like a flyby. And
11:46
they are very nicely done. They're artist's
11:48
impressions, but they're made on
11:50
the basis of the real imagery that Juno
11:53
has taken. And certainly in one
11:55
of them, you've got a nice reflection of the
11:57
planet itself In the lava lake.
12:00
Which gives you an idea of
12:02
just how smooth surfaces. I'm
12:04
a guy. Get a can. We
12:07
just move on as well to
12:09
one of the other regions that
12:11
was image to hunt. This is
12:13
amazing. It isn't is Donna she
12:15
marries. Ah there is a up
12:17
and what? Because because stuff. They
12:19
are so volcanically active. It's
12:21
got mountains on it. Ah, I'm
12:23
one of them is quite extraordinary.
12:25
is called Staple Mountain. Ah, once
12:27
again, it's an artist's impression that
12:29
we're seeing. which might mean that
12:31
the elevation of his been extended.
12:34
Is based on to know imagery
12:36
and is looks like a cathedral
12:38
with and you know medieval cathedral
12:40
with with his dentist. Or
12:43
with towers on it. And so yes,
12:45
that's probably you know, a result of
12:48
the the tectonic activity. Of
12:50
the on IOS, so we've
12:52
got really quite remarkable structures
12:54
on the surface that were
12:56
a seeker, a bit unexpected,
12:59
I don't think. We
13:01
found too much evidence of
13:03
really sharp mountains, but they're
13:05
doing shut up by this
13:07
sub Money supply by. His
13:09
name. this one steeple mountain have no
13:11
ads and that's exactly what it looks
13:13
like just to those yeah. First.
13:17
Very reminiscent actually of from. Is
13:20
a the imagery anyway? Ah
13:22
offered. More so Michelle,
13:24
I don't know. Have you ever visited
13:26
there when you've been so suggesting in
13:28
France? police off the coast of Northern
13:30
France and he civil county plug. Bits.
13:33
Off shore is in the middle of the ocean
13:35
but he's got and. Buildings all
13:37
the way up. It said basically a
13:39
monastery and it's got this extraordinary and.
13:42
Cathedral on top with see to sit
13:44
look a lot like steep mountain here
13:46
on the audio so that was what
13:49
was the a lightness that it it
13:51
will keep my mind when allude to
13:53
this and imagery. is
13:55
quite extraordinary i was just a bit
13:57
bigger than our moon And
14:00
yeah, it's sort of suffering
14:02
the effect of a tug of
14:04
war between other moons and Jupiter
14:06
itself resulting in all of this
14:08
volcanic activity, a pretty volatile kind
14:10
of place. And
14:13
Juno started orbiting
14:16
EO or Jupiter I should say on
14:20
the 4th of July 2016. So it's
14:22
nearly 8 years. 8 years. Wow.
14:25
What did I say? 4 or 5 years? 8
14:27
years. That's an Australian
14:29
longer. Well,
14:32
while we're talking about the Juno
14:34
mission, it's also been looking at
14:37
Jupiter itself and
14:41
taking some scientific readings. And
14:44
one of the things that scientists seem to
14:46
be interested in is Jupiter's water. What have
14:48
they found out there? Well
14:51
I think this comes from analysis
14:53
of the polar
14:55
cyclones on Jupiter which we're
15:00
really only seeing close up as
15:03
Juno gets closer and closer to the surface.
15:06
And you might remember that Saturn
15:09
has a polar hexagon which
15:11
is this hexagonal structure that
15:13
comes from cyclonic activity.
15:16
It basically sets up a
15:19
wave akin
15:24
to the jet stream on Earth
15:26
around the pole. Jupiter's
15:29
got something similar with the sort of
15:31
symmetry that we've seen on
15:33
Saturn. This
15:35
is actually 8-sided symmetry rather
15:37
than 6-sided symmetry. And
15:40
it's this set of cyclones around the pole. There
15:42
are 8 of them. But
15:45
they're also surrounded by
15:47
a central kind
15:49
of mother cyclone effect, put it
15:52
that way, which is even
15:54
more prominent. But
15:56
what has been discovered Is that
15:58
the microwave? Radiation from the
16:01
Central Cyclo right at do Jupiter's
16:03
North Pole and will talking about
16:05
the Northern Polar region know. That
16:08
central side clone has a L
16:10
a low level of microwave signature.
16:12
This it's a much less strong
16:15
than the other storm says are
16:17
going around it. And so what's
16:19
being inferred from the city is
16:21
that the structure underneath that cloud
16:23
surface is very different from the
16:26
other side clones. And
16:28
in fact that they're expecting as we
16:30
get more data from Juno to be
16:32
able to build a a what you
16:34
might call a three dimensional map of
16:36
these posts storm so you can see
16:39
how they stress down. Into. The
16:41
into the Atmosphere of Jupiter under
16:43
comes from a quote by a
16:45
do the project scientist to some.
16:48
Name. Is Steve live in peace at
16:50
Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory? Or
16:53
so that's. A
16:56
again related to how they
16:59
are looking for the molecular
17:01
structure of Jupiter's atmosphere and
17:03
it turns out that the
17:06
the isn't as much water
17:08
on Jupiter as they expected
17:10
to find what we talked
17:13
to. Abundance and so it's
17:15
just staying. And this is
17:18
by looking at molecules like
17:20
oxygen and hydrogen. O Two
17:22
and Eighty Two and a
17:25
Half close. To constituents of
17:27
water. That's
17:29
is suggesting that sanders and
17:31
efficiency of water on
17:33
the planet Jupiter which is
17:36
unexpected. And so
17:38
I'm You know it. It
17:40
feeds into our understanding. Of
17:44
how to be deformed. There's
17:47
a quotes which is
17:50
Vanessa Spaceflights website. Which
17:53
a pop? Second them. I can
17:55
just read this because it's it.
17:57
It's certainly. Puts
17:59
it. Cogently that I will
18:01
add you know through new results
18:03
on Jovian Watch abundance suggest very
18:06
low water abundance and unexpected result
18:08
and scientists it's and still try
18:10
to understand. however these results to
18:13
support scientists theories that during the
18:15
solar systems formation water nice material
18:17
was likely a driving force between
18:19
heavy elements in Richmond. The
18:22
process by which chemical elements heavier
18:24
than hydrogen and helium were created
18:26
for collected by Jupiter during his
18:28
formation. And. You get it basically
18:30
to keep the thing with. Third, you
18:33
know to to time work out what
18:35
the distribution of water abundances comparing polar
18:37
an equatorial regions and no doubt we
18:39
might talk about that down the trip
18:41
and you read me my will do
18:43
this just so much going on at
18:45
that time mission. Is
18:48
quite incredible. The fact that
18:50
it's done on a night
18:52
getting close to sixty maybe
18:54
more fly bys of Jupiter
18:56
Am and as it's done
18:58
and and was. Doing that,
19:00
they've been able to coordinate
19:02
fly bys of those be
19:04
known many moons just shy

the I in an engineering
19:08
senses. Just as extraordinary mission
19:11
in an. Probably
19:13
historically get an is one other one
19:15
of the the great figures for modern
19:18
spice engineering I would imagine. Are
19:20
absolutely and remember him widow when when
19:23
this was being planned and so I
19:25
think back and twenty six cents Best
19:27
Nuts is already started. So
19:29
thing with so he vs and I'm
19:32
in. Nobody knew whether he would survive
19:34
Gypsys radiation belts. That
19:36
was always wanted the questions is he going
19:38
to make it her and while it sell
19:40
the house and it's doing fine job as
19:42
we discussing. It sure has
19:44
and if you want a chase
19:47
up by information about that you
19:49
know. mission in the border on
19:51
Jupiter and nice incredible geological features
19:53
on a O L saw on
19:55
the nest a spaceflight.com when spot

20:00
Andrew Dunkley Hey, we're
20:02
professor of read What
20:04
Science. Writer Drive. Space
20:07
nuts Now afraid let's move on
20:09
to Mars a little bit closer
20:12
to earth. Sort of anxiety has
20:14
that we've We've discussed this a
20:16
few times and this been also
20:18
the series put up about why
20:20
they have been detecting may song
20:22
made sign on Mars. One of
20:24
the theory is in may still
20:27
have some sort of tectonic activity
20:29
below the surface or it may
20:31
have some man. He. A
20:33
primordial like that, some this leaking miss
20:36
stuff out. A custom must make they
20:38
make dine on earth is is. Created
20:40
By I've Been Created. With.
20:43
Know there are living creatures on
20:45
mars to this point in time
20:47
so i'm didn't to thinking maybe
20:49
this isn't something you know my
20:51
microbial below the surface that might
20:53
be doing this boss. And
20:55
you serious brain put forward and
20:58
the cause might be us. Humans
21:01
Well partly else aside, partly as
21:03
yeah. which is some not directly
21:05
or indirectly cause my ass yes
21:07
yes some of his Anyway where
21:09
because it is this. Ah, the
21:11
puzzle. The mace and puzzle. Is.
21:14
And it's one. this goes back
21:16
before we started sending and you
21:19
know, curiosity and perseverance to Mars.
21:22
Because he can observe this in
21:24
the atmosphere from us he can
21:26
detect that those methane and moses
21:29
atmosphere. So we knew about this
21:31
a long time ago and it
21:33
yes exactly is he says is
21:35
it is residual volcanism or is
21:38
it and mismanage and eight micros
21:40
fan of both of which are
21:42
interesting ideas but but it's behaved
21:45
in a ferry aren't way. For
21:47
example there is one spacecraft ah
21:49
which is a European space. Agency
21:52
spacecraft. It's called the Exo
21:54
Mars Exo Mars Trace Gas
21:56
Orbiter. it's
21:58
enormous blue orbit around Mars,
22:01
it's never detected methane. And
22:04
that is bizarre, because that's why it was
22:07
sent there, because we see Mars. We do
22:09
see methane in the atmosphere of Mars. I
22:12
think it probably means that you don't get
22:14
any methane at high altitudes. And
22:17
then we've got Curiosity
22:19
had a
22:22
device known as SAM,
22:25
Sample Analysis at Mars, which
22:27
keeps on detecting traces
22:29
of methane around the
22:31
surface of the location where it is,
22:34
which is Gale Crater, named after an
22:37
Australian amateur astronomer in
22:39
the early 20th century. So
22:42
Gale Crater is a place where methane's
22:44
detected on the surface, but in fact,
22:47
it's the only one so
22:50
far, because none of the perseverance doesn't
22:52
have anything to detect
22:54
Mars. Perseverance, of course, is
22:56
in a different place. It's at Gesserok
22:58
Crater. So it
23:01
doesn't have the ability to detect
23:03
methane. But the
23:05
story gets more complicated, because quite
23:08
often, methane is detected
23:10
at night by Curiosity.
23:14
But then it vanishes during the day. It
23:17
varies with the seasons. As
23:20
Mars, of course, has seasons, it's got
23:22
a similar orbital inclination to the Earth,
23:25
about 25 degrees, if I remember rightly.
23:28
And sometimes it goes
23:31
way, way up, spikes to levels
23:34
around 40 times greater than
23:36
we normally see. So
23:39
what's the story? Why
23:42
does some, this is a question
23:44
that's a lovely
23:46
article on this on phys.org, the phys.org
23:49
website. They pose the question, why
23:51
does some scientists and science instruments detect methane on
23:53
the red planet while others don't? And
23:56
What they are coming to. The
23:58
conclusion, the new idea, Here in
24:00
this. Is and it
24:02
comes from Nasa. A pizza? You
24:04
know something? That being. Basically
24:07
us studied for quite awhile
24:09
and practice and the scientists
24:11
said thirty.out. Space Flight Center
24:13
Greenbelt Maryland and where this
24:15
work is coming from. What
24:18
they are suggesting sees
24:20
that I'm the soil
24:22
of Mars. Which
24:25
is. Kind. Of different
24:27
from the soil on the Us we know that
24:29
this very fine grained send their. But. Also
24:31
the he gets. Ah is
24:33
is this a higher level of salt?
24:37
Concentration within that soil is
24:39
a guess. crusty, So.
24:41
You've gotta trust that covers
24:44
the lower levels And they're
24:46
suggesting that underneath that cost.
24:48
And they did not suggesting
24:50
how the Me Sane is
24:53
produced. But what the suggesting
24:55
is that the Me Sane
24:57
rises up on it is
24:59
is locked in by this
25:01
crossed of soil. Are
25:04
making up you know, making up
25:06
the the surface of Mars and
25:08
serve. The. Suggest it
25:10
during summer. When
25:13
he's a bit warmer, that weakens
25:15
the the the the trust. And
25:18
you get me, thanks. Seeping out of
25:21
that's why we see the seasonal variations
25:23
in methane. But also that
25:25
if you've got a Rover, Which.
25:28
Weighs about the same as a
25:30
car or yo of us are
25:32
driving over this crust is it
25:34
to break the trust as you
25:36
drive over it and let them
25:38
a sign out so that that's
25:41
why. You. Dizzying it in
25:43
jail crisis because this is where this
25:45
crust is them. The Rovers driving over
25:47
that. That is. Every time it
25:49
me though it goes forward, it's going to stress
25:52
the surface. Maybe. Release puffs of
25:54
me say it's a really interesting ideas
25:56
as you say means that humans are
25:58
intervening in this. The process
26:00
of martian may send more than we
26:02
pops thought sir thought there was no
26:05
it's sort of breathed into the Am
26:07
coming into the arena the or comes
26:09
razor theory The most obvious answer is
26:11
probably the right one and yet yeah
26:14
yeah you can see the tracks that
26:16
these rather lay behind and I do
26:18
did little house and grooves and it
26:20
it stands to reason they could driving
26:23
I have a purpose of methane and
26:25
you cracking the surface jump it's gonna
26:27
come up and you guessed east if.
26:30
Is that kind of equipment on
26:32
board Vs know it could well
26:34
be the reason but it still
26:36
doesn't answer the question as to
26:39
how it got there the by
26:41
us cauterize that that remains industry
26:43
as but some of it's escaping
26:46
is is seasonal and possibly interventional.
26:49
This interventional I know is due
26:51
to the Are.love making up words.
26:56
Soon. To be an
26:58
interventionist interventionist, it. Is
27:01
or that's it. Better guys are
27:03
like that as a director and
27:05
the air is it. It's an
27:07
interesting theory and and one that.
27:10
We could hold water. Or
27:13
make that just as the Cps. Yeah,
27:17
I'd allow you to either. I don't
27:19
know how you investigate this further. are
27:21
hello that like putting methane detectors on
27:23
of other up. Though the
27:25
spacecraft through the comments to from another
27:28
scientist at said gonna Space Flight center
27:30
which is sir me saying experiments how
27:32
resource intensive so we have to be
27:34
very strategic when we decide to do
27:36
them. So you know
27:38
I totally. Code. Sounds
27:40
like they're half hearted about it.
27:46
Or loathe it touched that one hundred
27:48
last. Year.
27:53
Anyway, to him. You
27:55
know? yes it's hard to know
27:57
how you are you pursue that
27:59
Certain to prove than that the
28:01
case may be some future surface
28:03
spacecraft. Are the way to
28:05
go. They might be more focused on
28:08
answer me sing significant goes you specific
28:10
questions. Yes, especially he's and especially
28:12
the question of where it all came from in
28:14
the first place. And
28:17
is still being produced some way
28:19
down deep inside me. Mad be
28:21
questions, It's ah alright. very good.
28:23
And yes, as Fritz said, you
28:25
can chase that story up on
28:28
the fees.org was website that's P
28:30
H Y Es ah ended. Don't
28:32

and see how he is going South Africa
29:39
for t no one would just sit and
29:41
twiddle your thumbs for was so they can
29:43
come back and stop everything Now we went
