 day. I don't remember what day it was. Was it good? Yeah, it's very good. It's it's not it's enjoyable enough that if you're looking if you love the mission of possible. Well, even someone like Andrani, who's not really familiar with it, she's seen one or two of the mission impossible films. She enjoyed it. Those of us who know all the characters and care about them probably enjoy it a little bit more, but it's not John Wick for. It's it's still though. It's still a lot of fun. Hmm. But it doesn't it doesn't in three. It doesn't touch John Wick for ghost protocol is I just the last the last two are better than dead reckoning part one. I expect dead reckoning part two to be really, really good because this kind of sets the table for it. But the stories of the last two mission impossibles were fantastic. Don't watch part. Don't watch M.I. two. Hey, welcome back to our stupid director Corbin. You can follow me on Twitter for more. Jesus God, thank you so much for all the scrubs. Got to look the blue. So the poll so far for what should Andrani and I see Oppenheimer today in standard format or should we wait two weeks for IMAX 70 millimeter? Sixty five percent of the stupid babies on this poll have said we should wait. Congratulations. Thank you. I will also wait. We will see until it comes to digital like Nolan intended. Watch it on your phone. Best experience ever. Today we got an information. This is India's moon mission, rocket blast in the space. I don't know if you've heard anything about this. I have. I also heard about a great big office building. You haven't heard about it? India now has the biggest office building in the world surpassed the Pentagon. That makes sense. Yep. So take that, Texas. This is India has everything's bigger in Texas. India has launched its third moon mission. Yeah, I heard about that first to land near the South Pole, which has obviously been really explored. And so this video kind of goes into a little bit of depth. They should go to the North Pole of the moon. They'll find Santa. The moon landing was fake. Am I right? Stanley Kubrick says so. Said he was hired to direct it. It's true. Here we go. What are you going to do? Welcome to the program. We start with a historic mission to the moon. A white British woman. Why are the British explaining? Come on. Space craft. This is the moment that it took off just under an hour ago. It entered Earth's orbit shortly after. It's kind of like how I look with your mom. Yeah. Rockets are phallic. The craft will deploy a rover. Wow. Not a lot of information there. Not at all. A rover near the moon's South Pole. Oh, a dog's going up. And India will become only the fourth country. Behind the US, the former Soviet Union and China to manage a controlled lunar landing. A little earlier, I spoke to astronomer and podcast host Jennifer Millard who talked us through the launch of the rocket and explained how long it would take before it reaches the moon. Once it's there, it'll orbit the moon a few times before attempting to deploy the lander and then the rover, which is contained within the lander. So, yeah, we've got a little bit to wait to expect it to get to the moon. 23rd, 24th of August, that's the rough timeline. And then, yeah, hopefully India will become only the fourth nation to have a successful landing on the surface of the moon. August? Yeah. Oh, wow. It's only the US, Russia and China that have achieved this. And, yeah, India are going for it. And we haven't been back in... Part of the reason it's going so slow is because, I mean, the rickshaw guys, they were the first nation to reach Mars as well. They've gone orbiter. Why are we watching, why is, why are we learning about this from the BBC and British people? So, yeah, expect great things from India and space in the future. So it was actually the Changiang program that discovered water at the south pole of the moon. You've concretely discovered water on the moon. That was the first time that it's ever been done. That was back in 2008. I heard it was Perrier. And, of course, they're really making amazing progress, spending very little money on these programs. Yeah, that's the thing. So when we look at NASA's... Yeah, their space program is nothing budget-wise. They put NASA and SpaceX to shame. They're doing it for $75 million, something like that. We spend more on making movies. Barbie's budget was like $150 million. How are they able to do that so much? They're smarter. So, again, it's doing things like taking their time to use at least a amount of fuel. Yeah, they're smarter. They care more about their resources. It's smaller craft, so this rover is not the sort of size of a car that you would expect with the Martian rovers. This one is on its biggest dimension. It's about a meter long. Oh, wow. And so, then, that reduces the cost as well. You know, lower mass. I like her shirt. It's like it's frizzle. And it's very, very specific targets. You know, we only expect this rover to be working for one lunar day. That's one of the things with the timing of this mission as well is to get there for the start of a lunar day. So, we've got that full two weeks to make the most of all of that solar power to charge the batteries. And so, it means that India can do these extraordinary missions and extraordinary science on a very, very low budget and does show that you don't need to spend... Correct. ...many necessarily to do amazing exploration in space. Jennifer Millard there. Well, let's speak now to Prasad Samramianian. Yay! Prasad Samramianian at Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research. Thank you very much for joining us. I'm assuming that you watched the launch and they are following the progress. What can you tell us? What's your assessment of how things are going? Things are going very well. I think we've passed the most crucial stage of the launch. And so, as of now, yeah, yeah, I think it couldn't be going better. So, just to explain what's happened... The American... ...and then the boosters separated... I saw the trees next to that thing. It is tiny. The rocket? Yes. ...and it has now entered Earth's orbit. What's that about? If you could just explain what's happening because it's going to orbit the Earth several times, isn't it? Before it does this sort of slingshot movement and tries to get... That's what I do with your mom. I orbit a few times before the slingshot movement. It's a matter of entering the Moon's gravitational... ...primarily the Moon's gravitational goal. And it's a complex maneuver. And so, to be clear, the rover per se is going to land on the Moon in about two weeks or something like that for a while. 23rd or 24th of August, they said. That's right. Something like that. So, in between now and then, it's a lot of fairly complicated orbital dynamics that's going to happen. Basically, trying to build up speed, though I understand. Yes. The slingshots are very good analogies. The amount of math required gives me anxiety. So, that's pretty much what it is. Let the smart people do it. Yeah. The really difficult part, apparently, is landing on the Moon. And I know that India tried it once before and it didn't go so well. So, talk us through why this is so tricky, what it involves. Oh, to the extent I understand, it's a matter of... Where's you from? It's... Think of trying to land on your feet... The accent kind of sounds American, though. ...of a building. You need to make sure your feet are strong. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody, but if you were trying to do that, you need to make sure your feet don't buckle and then there's a lot of rebound. And you're not very sure about the composition of the soil where you're landing. So, all these things. So, that's why it's a combination of mechanics and mostly mechanics. Sorry. I was just going to ask if you could explain what the mission is. As I said, the aim is to land on the South Pole. We don't know a huge amount, do we, about the actual South Pole. That's right. That's precisely why we're trying to go there. And the mission, the scientific objectives of manifold, broadly put, lunar geochemistry and, of course, presence of water ice, which is the holy grail. And understanding how the lunar surface came to be, what it is now, understanding the impact of the solar wind, something that I'm personally interested in, how the solar wind particles impact the moon's atmosphere and the lack of it, and how they influence the geochemistry of the lunar surface. Yeah. This is about as much as I broadly understand, yeah. Yeah. Well, so far, so good. We'll see, I suppose, won't we, in the coming weeks. Thank you very much for talking to us, Prasad Sauramami, who is a professor at the Indian Institute of Science, Education, and Research. Thank you. I'm an idiot. So I'm guessing the original one, when it went in 1969, didn't take a month, did it? I don't remember how long it took from lift off to landing. But I'm assuming, obviously, the mechanics to get to the South Pole. I'm assuming are different than to just get where they are. It is. And when you have a smaller, part of the thing you have with the larger ship is not just that you're showing off, it gives you a lot more power and you can gain more speed. So I think for them, clearly it was, there's no rush. We can make this in a month instead of in five days because we're going to use less fuel. Yeah. So but I don't, I don't remember from, they covered it in some of that time frame, though this was after the day. I remember in Apollo 13, how long they were waiting for them to get to the moon. It's not a long time. It wasn't a month. And it was, they landed on July 20th of 1969. I just don't remember when lift off was. Did you watch? No, but I was there. I was four months old. Don't remember it though. Don't remember it at all. Damn. Yeah. I was. I was four months old. I was alive during Barbieheimer. Interesting. Similar. Wow. Similar. Similar impact on the world. So what do you think? Do you think the moon landing was a hoax? No. You know what? You think Kubrick was lying? I think Kubrick was talking out of his ass is what I think Kubrick was doing. Just to, you know, do you think the world's flat? Yeah. Yeah. For sure. That's obvious. I mean, this floor's flat. Yeah. So what more evidence do you think? When I walk outside, it just keeps going. When I walk, I don't start feeling this. It's true. Here's his flat children just know that. I'm thinking of George W. Bush now and he'd say a complicated word and look so proud of himself. So I was feeling recalcitrant. Recalcitrant. Anyways, I said a big word. If there's other videos that give us more information, obviously, about that, I've seen a lot of people post about this and send us stuff. Yes. So obviously, when it actually happens, I'm sure, I will get more updates. Yeah. I read it. The launch I read in one of the news sources I was looking at, but saw nothing about it, obviously, and I figured we'd probably see something about it. Anyways, let us know if there's other videos that we can react to and any other information we need to know down below.
