 What about Patrick Mahomes? Yeah, somebody. Is he on your fantasy football league? He's in the league, yeah. But he's not on my team. Oh, you couldn't pick or you didn't pick? I didn't pick because I had the third pick and he went like pick eight. So that's how that works. You don't just get to choose. You have to do it as if you were a team drafting your players and whoever's available is the ones you get. I've never done fantasy leagues. Well, there's that, but there's also auction leagues which means you have a specific dollar amount, not real money, but everybody has like a hundred dollars. Like your budget, right. And you can auction. So if you want to play, you can spend as much as you want but then you only have a certain amount for the rest of your players. That's not what kind of league we have. The normal league is. Well, there's more than one kind of league. Oh yeah, there's all different kinds. Wow. But normal leagues are 10 to 12 teams and so first pick gets the best player and it's in their mind. And then it's a snake draft. So the 10th team gets the 11th pick and goes back. Got it. And is the real money on the table for these things? Yeah, so our buy-in is, I don't know, last year it was 50. I don't know if it went. And it's pooled. Yes, so basically the winner gets, I think in our league I got like $500 was the pool. That's cool. A lot of leagues, some leagues have a lot more money. Yeah, I understand. Some leagues aren't money at all. The fun of that is it goes way beyond just rooting for a particular team. Yeah. There's so many things you can pay attention to. It gives you a lot more interest in other games. Yeah. None of you care about what I just said. Josh! Welcome back to our Stupid Direct. Of course, I'm Rick.

And this is a video that dropped a few days ago and this actually goes the most underrated space program in the world. And so this actually goes into the space program, not obviously just their moon mission, obviously. Well, and simultaneously they just did something with the sun in the same week. I saw something about them going to the sun. Yeah. Which was a weird title. Yeah. I was like, there's no way you can't. What do they do with the sun? I don't know. I just had something to do with getting close and doing some kind of a study of the sun. Okay. Which was basically- You can't go to the sun because you didn't know that. Right on the fuels. That's the kind of knowledge you get here. Of the moon landing. Fun fact, you cannot go to the sun. Which, did you see the super blue moon that was up in the sky? No. Yeah, it was gorgeous. It wasn't just the blue moon. It was a super blue moon, which happened once every 10 to 20 years. Blue moon. And I was looking through the telescope and you know what I saw up there? I could see the Indian lunar module that had landed. And right next to it was SRK, spread in his arms. Yeah, that makes sense. Here we go. In 63, officials with India Space Agency were still moving rocket parts around on bicycles. And now they're on the south side of the moon. They successfully landed a spacecraft on the moon. This accomplishment was especially emotional because four years ago- Wow, I thought there'd be more information. Me too. I'm very disappointed. It's four years ago in 2019, a software glitch caused its predecessor, John Drion Tuzlander, to crash into the moon's surface. So they were nervous this time. Understandably so. They were probably nervous the first time. That much confident because as a person who has been doing in this domain for 36 years, I know there are thousands of things any of that could, can anytime go wrong and derail. The pressure was immense. Admitted the director of the center that spearheaded the construction of the spacecraft. The amount of effort is tremendous. The smiles that filled the room were a testament to the resilience of the Trondurion 3's team, who navigated the Vikram lander to avoid all those potholes to come in for a soft landing. This footage has been super sped up. The rover Pragyan then rolled out of the lander's belly to begin exploring the lunar surface. And we became the first country to go to the, near to the south pole of the moon. Astronauts are racing to get to the lunar south pole as spacecraft have detected water ice there, which will potentially be extracted and turned into drinking water, food, and rocket fuel. NASA desperately wants to land humans there before China. I don't want China to get to the south pole first with humans and then say, this is ours, stay out. While China has exceeded Russia... No one should say that. But they will. Small and scrappy. Hmm. That's a great photo, by the way. That's a great photo, by the way. Good for India. By the way, let's connect on X. I'm at NewsThink. The link is in my description. Hmm. It's a long time ago. It's a long time ago. Yeah. Yeah, it's a dollar-to-rupee relation. Yeah. Yeah. Uber for space. We will be now looking at putting the man in space, putting a spacecraft around Venus and landing a craft in Mars. India has actually never sent people to space on its own. An Indian astronaut or a Vyomenon, as they call them, flew into orbit on a Soviet rocket in 1984. India is preparing its first astronaut mission called Gaganyan, which aims to send three astronauts into orbit on its own spacecraft. But the mission has face delays and Israel hasn't announced a date for it. As the curtains drew to a close on the 20th century, the Cold War space race gave way to a new race. The U.S. remains the dominant player with private companies, notably SpaceX, shaping the landscape of space exploration. China is watching SpaceX's every move and aims to create its own answer to SpaceX's fully reusable rocket Starship. Russia now lags behind, symbolized by its lunar lander crashing into the moon mere days before India's triumph. India may have been late getting into the game, but it has proven it has plenty of potential. We'll continue to do our best and make our flag fly as well as India's flag fly high. Thank you very much. One of my favorite parts of a successful mission is seeing the team's reaction. Absolutely. If you're inspired by what these engineers have achieved and want to develop similar skills or brush up on what you already know, Brilliant is the place to learn. I don't think that's where they went. I know it's your ad, but... You can dive into your mathematical thinking course by seeing fractions, percentages... I think that's it. No, that's always one of my favorite parts of any... Well, anything really, just like... Any achievement. Like a film achievement. The filmmakers or the people involved. Or a team that wins and you watch the fans celebrating. Yeah. Especially with stuff with space, they've literally spent maybe even a decade on this project alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is their baby. It's huge. Like they said, there's a thousand ways they can go wrong. And also said... The fact that she said, India was late to the game. I wonder why. No, we know why. It was England. Yeah, and then England has the audacity. I say that as a generality because it's been in the media, in England who have the audacity to tell India what they should or shouldn't do with their money. Yeah. Mind-boggling. I'm a big fan. You may have, if you've heard us talk about space things before. I absolutely celebrate love hearing about space exploration for the purposes of enlightenment and education and better understanding of the world and the potential of things that can be a potential help bringing it back to our world. The thing that I don't like, and I've voiced before about space programs, are the ones that are designed solely for either entertainment purposes for the wealthy or going out as Elon Musk has repeatedly said he wants to do to find a viable place for us to live. Those to me are the most extraordinary waste of time and resources that could be used for other more beneficial things. Hey, can't be perfect. Oh, that's not going to stop. No, it's not. We're always going to look farther and as long as there's money to be made, people will make it. Unfortunately. There will always be something. Human beings of a particular ilk can figure out how to make money off of it. Have you ever wanted to go to space? Putting aside the money costs and have you ever just had a desire to go to space? Yeah. Like if you had the opportunity to spend, you know, 400,000 dollars. Yeah. 100%. The most common way I've fantasized about it and actually have dreamt and... Sex with an alien. Close. Yeah. I have, I would love to, I prefer invitation but abduction. To just be able to be in that atmosphere and have that happen is something I've long thought about. So yes, I would love to see what's out there. You want to be probed? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I was obsessed with space, especially as a kid. Yeah, it's so extraordinary. After not for a long time and then I was like... Oh, did you? That's way too much school. Yeah, exactly too much school and too much math. I don't want to do any of that. That's not going to happen. I just want to go to space, man. But I do... The fact that like there's nothing, because a lot of people freak out the fact that there's nothing. I know. And I was like, no, that sounds amazing. Amazing. I've laid on the grass. You know, I'm sure you've done this. I've laid on the grass at night, especially if you're away from the city where you can really see the sky. And you feel like you're falling into the sky. Yeah. Because it's so expansive. But I wouldn't want to go, even if I didn't have to spend a penny. If someone gave me the opportunity to go on simply a excursion that was pure entertainment to go out and then come back. I don't know that I would want to do that. My dream of it is to... Like, if I were to do that, I'd go on the space station and be out there for a little while. Not just go up and down. But you never will. Nope. Well, never say never. Well, never know. In our lifetime? Hey, you're not just going... You never know. Tom Cruise could cast us in a film that takes place on the space station. Tom Cruise has never been on the space station. He's gonna be. He's gonna make a movie in space. He is. You don't know that? That's his next endeavor, is to make a movie that is done in space. Fucking guy. Yeah. Anyways, go Tom. I'll be in it with you. I'll be background on that one, buddy. Let us know if there's any other videos we can react to via the space station or any other information we need to know down below.
