Piccolo to Paul in chapel Alison saw the question was What do you imagine the astronaut.

With you if you would like a little guess you've got bugs it's do feel free to get in touch in all the usual ways Next I'm talking to our friend of the show Dr Gregory all about the moon and the fact that it is going to be a lunar eclipse tonight as well as he's B.B.C. Radio lades. And. You. Know. Let's. Take you. Inside. Kill. Me but. Was. Thinking. Good afternoon welcome to the show time on B.B.C. Radio lates and it's a big day for space today so I thought we'd get friend of the shuttle it's all to me again the fabulous Dr Tim Gregory who you may well remember from the T.V. Show astronauts do you have. Hello Hello Gail Sol This is a real big space because the moon rocket launched that's what I'm calling it that's probably not. The the rocket that would say the crew to the moon would have left today I'm thinking it would have actually launched to about one 3rd. And they would have set off an incredible journey what do you think they were thinking in the small months I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of us or not in my time as a academic in space science and one thing that they all hold in common is that are absolutely clueless cucumber So I think if I was on the launch pad 50 years ago there are probably well it's beyond words why would be stealing but having met a few astronauts in real life they were probably cool to compose they were there they had a job to do back to execute it calmly and exactly but I think that almost certainly would have been at least a small part of that grand Absolutely. With excitement about the journey that was ahead of them and a heck of a journey talk so I mean to be honest I was only thinking about this day so it's 50 years ago today since the rock a large but of course they wouldn't actually Well Neil Armstrong wouldn't actually touch the moon I suppose and still until the Saturday so that's that's a heck of a long journey isn't it is it is a long way yeah and not just goes to show just how bass space is the moon is our closest celestial neighbor and it still takes 3 days to get there on board the most powerful rockets ever created by humans it's an incredibly long way yeah and also all wet talking about technology that is 50 years old and I keep hearing people saying that in terms of the computers they odds they wouldn't have been as advanced as the smartphone that you're probably talking to me on right now which is staggering to think about it probably wasn't as advanced as the wristwatch that I've got on right now it was incredible and in fact here at the British Geological Survey where I'm working at the moment we found some photographic slides some original NASA slides from the Apollo 11 mission some of the photographs that the astronaut talk and it took me a week to assemble the kits needed to look at the photographs because it's such an acoustic technology I needed I needed a slide projector and a lens and I I'm only 26 and I've never seen a slide projector in my life and it just goes to show the you know while people were walking around on the surface of the moon 50 years ago we were looking at 1st a graph on technologies then to a slide projectors which is just a really nice example of how advanced the Apollo technology was at the time it was incredible absolutely I mean tell us a little bit about your job by the way because every other time we've spoken to your own until this stage you've been. Immersed in Ph D. Well but now you've. Got time so what do you do when property of an undercover chemistry research or the British Geological Survey in nothing and our. Well I did my Ph D. In Bristol one slowly inching back and you know made in a serial from OK. Are you still looking at the same sort of things that you were doing in your Ph D. Like the all region of the universe NY my project at the moment is very similar to what I did in my Ph D. I'm looking at the timing of the events that happened as our solar system was assembling itself 4 and a half 1000000000 years ago and I'm doing that using a natural radioactive clock that uses an element called uranium Oh my goodness oh I mean let's go let's go back to the moon for a for a starter how was how was the moon formed with the chip offals are of some else and that's exactly right it's a chip of the old block it's likely that very soon after the Earth formed something smashed into the into the and almost obliterated it but luckily the collision was glancing it wasn't a full on punch in the face it was just a slight glance and the material that was knocked off the early into space coalesced to form the moon. You know I think one of the wonderful things about the moon is that it features in almost every single culture every religion every myth the humans have ever invented of the last 200000 years they all feature the moon somehow we know that the moon is important it's our closest last year maybe we can all see in the sky and it actually does turn out that the moon is part of the earth origin as well which ultimately is part of our origin our our connection with the moon is not just a sort of spiritual in the cultural one it's very very real is a part that was knocked off and of life and if the moon wasn't there. What would happen would would would just the tides be all of the Plus there would be no tired of the would be a tired but very small one you would get tired from the sun but there's a hypothesis that the origin of life on earth wouldn't have been possible without the moon because the one idea is that life originated in rock pools on engine shorelines probably about 4000000000 years ago and the constants are drying in the wetting of the rocks as the tide came in and now because of the influence of the moon my flight. If you don't. Play the. H
