And welcome back to Costco Sir Charles Schultz the 3rd 1000 we'll take your calls Sir Charles I want your reaction to President Trump's plan to develop a space force another branch of our military up there in space you know it's actually not a bad idea if nothing else it's going to help us derive our technology and a lot of people think of this as he's going to drop troops somewhere in the world in 45 minutes or so but that's not really the case it may be the case but mostly would probably drop her own hardware all over the world fast we wouldn't really need to send a lot of human beings around to fight a war we've got some pretty advanced drones and robots well in why it's I think it's a great idea and we should have had this a long time ago we need to protect our satellite systems and that's an excellent excellent point you know I think one of the things I'd like to point out is our slow development of space travel has really been due to the fact the government treats space industry as if it's a socialist thing they set the market they design and set the products they choose who gets to buy them and it excludes everyone and the innovation isn't there when private industry got involved all of that changed so this is a great step forward because he's specifically stated it was a call in private industry if you had to I mean if you are in war with a country or about to go into war with a country one of the things we take out is command and control and me you have to take out the satellite system because you know their cell phones will go down their communications will go down right and you have it's just it's an unfortunate part of war Well there may be cleaner ways to do it I mean imagine launching a large aluminum foil bag that simply snags a satellite wraps it up and blocks all the radio waves without breaking into fragments. Absolutely and a writer for some calls Absolutely let's start by going east of the Rockies Sherri is in Memphis Tennessee hi Sherri Welcome to the program thank you like I love listening to you are best brilliant men thank you. That I had to threaten to which is if you tried to China and Russia cannot out our satellite the 2nd question is how do we stop and asteroid from heading this planet and I want to say also that 3 of the reasons labs believing God is because of the pope passed the seas for them true because of hearings in the Bible and in the me and because of the answer prayers are a great while we're just talking about the satellite systems and developing a space force to possibly knock them out if we're at war or battle but they have capabilities now don't they to take out our satellites Charles Well absolutely and one of the ways to do it is simply send a sack of Bibi's up there in a reverse orbit it's not hard to take out satellites and in some cases it can be done with an intense beam of microwaves from the ground you know there are numerous ways in Russia and China both can take out an awful lot of satellites so we wouldn't really be in a mess but the problem is the damage would also spread to their satellites one of the things right doing this is that be a stalemate that's what they refuse to refer to as a Mexican standoff they destroy their own systems in the process quite likely and as far as stopping an asteroid from hitting the Earth you know there are some in some of the simulation going on and NASA is doing a lot of work in that area right now it's all over the news these days yes they're doing a simulated maneuver to see what would happen that's one of the things they're planning as we speak now one of the easiest ways to do it realize that you don't blow it up with a weapon you don't send a big bomb up there and blast it because now you have millions of fragments coming down and it does damage spread out over a huge area it's just as bad if not worse what we need to do is get a spacecraft there quickly that can then if powered by the sun. Thrust the satellite constantly in that one given direction to make it missed the earth because if it's headed for the earth it only takes a certain number of seconds for the earth to get out of the way. If you have 7 minutes you have an opportunity to miss the planet if you can deflect its course by 7 minutes of arrival Jesus will miss the Earth that's all it takes and you really don't want to blow it up because the fragments could be just as damaging as you original asteroid exactly they could do a lot more damage in some cases I would think and here's the other thing most asteroids we expect to be a solid rock are a piece but many of them are rubble piles piles of rock and dirt you know how do you push that gently very gently Sir Charles do you think that there are satellites in space right now that have nukes on them whether they are ours Russia or China as I have no doubt of that and I often wonder sometimes if the developments in space travel were were intentionally slowed down to prevent people from accessing some of the hardware that's dangerous Well it's terribly dangerous but you know we live in a dangerous world. Isn't perhaps. A I don't know is it is it a deterrent Does the fact that maybe all 3 countries know we have them up there everybody has them up there does that keep things today it may it may but I mean that only works up to a certain point and you know it only takes one accident to set things off and we've been very close to annihilation a couple of times in the past and you know if you go do a little history research you'll find that we've been saved by the skins of our teeth just a few a couple of times at least but having weapons of that sort in orbit all the time it just means faster delivery but the fact is we can deliver almost anything to orbit very quickly right now I can assure you there are vehicles ready and fueled to launch at a moment's notice the put weapons in space so that they don't stay there and are accessible to people on our wild card line let's go to Walt in Pennsylvania Hey wild Go ahead by George are you a size Great to be Ali a George thank you sir your job Sir Charles knows the best guest you've got on since Dr Alan Stern Well thank you that's pretty good compliment there for you Charles I want to fly Sir Charles would agree with that Dr Carl Sagan obviously he was a great advocate of space exploration but Dr Sagan that said that the always said that the great expansion of space exploration was and providing obvious means clear the redundant life support systems to you know support human beings. So I think you know with all the ai we have non The smart robots I don't think there's up as much of a reason anymore to a risk human life in space I mean obviously you know you go back even to 67 it's odd to me though to understand why the Apollo one fire occurred you know why big engineers realize that you know no 2 admission there would be very can do a shift to a fire they probably never thought they'd spark I guess they actually yes they did know that it would and that's why later they went to they were at 4.3 pounds of oxygen pressure pure oxygen they went to $5.00 pounds of oxygen and nitrogen to lower the risk of fire greatly but they never expected the arc that would set it off and that was the issue that people were aware of at that are trying to make the hardware as light as they possibly could and it was a devastating loss but as for ai in space we are getting better systems that have the capability of doing things and we need it because if you're spacecraft is on Mars or around Jupiter you don't have time to send instructions and wait and see what happened in the machine has to know what to do here's the issue if you make it so smart that it can figure anything out it may ask why am I doing this am I going to get killed doing this I mean a thinking machine might have just as much ability to want to stay alive as a thinking human sounds like Cal from Space Odyssey it's exactly that could happen I mean once a high becomes so emotionally intelligent it will begin to protect itself well in many systems particularly the ones are building for warfare have those capabilities built in them they recognize a threat and they defend themselves otherwise it would be useless indeed indeed Paul thanks for your call let's go next to a 1st time caller Eli in San Antonio Texas Hi Eli Good morning hi Joe Aardsma right well great thanks. Well I'm up to your questions but again Ok. In my 1st question is what is Sir Charles opinion on the picture of the black hole recently and question number 2 is what are his number one concerns of humanity maybe living on on the moon and other planets in the future like what is his number one concern Ok the concern let's take that one 1st Sir Charles as you know we've had those that Michio Kaku believes that we need to leave the planet since the late Stephen Hawking believes we need to get ready to leave the planet Well what about you you would never as a bird you would never grow up in the nest you grow up and then you leave you don't live your life in the nest and the Earth is our nest and Carl Sagan was very verbose about that and why and I would say that our biggest concerns would be when you have large populations of humans living in isolation from each other there can be some things that change in their viewpoint their their information their environment it will change the way they think and feel about humanity as a whole in many cases this means the development of antitheses people who don't like the way things are being done by the people who sent them there or people who don't like what the colonists are doing out there we have to be cautious that by isolating with ourselves we don't create different factions that I think would be my greatest concern one of the great things about having separate colonies of course is great new ideas emerge in different environments and they can go with them without a hazard to the rest of humanity right now we're in one glass cage and if anything happens to our environment where all gone so it certainly makes sense for us to spread out to other environments absolutely now that pay. Sure that was released a couple weeks ago of that black hole What do you think of that I think it's an amazing achievement and I think I think I'm also a little disappointed by so many people saying well it's all blurry well yes or just hurry up. And zillion miles away and it's all done you know 2nd and 3rd hand inferring it from the data and then reconstructing what must've created that image I think that it's really important for us to recognize that we're getting better eyes on the universe that whole picture the black hole picture is the 1st of its kind and it took an astounding amount of work to generate it but it shows us that our theories are correct that what we thought is true is actually happening out there that's an amazing achievement the universe is a message and we read it and interpret it we're the interpreters and what excites you the most are Charles about space I think it is the limitless possibilities that in bodies for me there is unlimited resource energy places to go it is an exotic place to think of living and you know in a sense we all do that we're stuck on one planet right now. I you know I think I think the marvels of the universe are so extensive. Everything I think is just wondrous don't you think oh I do I mean just picture this you know like the exoplanet around us Proxima Centauri that place has got to be truly weird Your son is only about 5 percent the distance it would be about 3 times larger the sky and very very dim our image. Your it your planet would undergo $400.00 times as much x. Rays from its star to be flares all the time you'd be living in twilight and your year to be 11 and a half days long Yeah that's true place to live you know back to the other wildcard line Carlos is with us in San Francisco Hi Carlos thanks for calling. A good evening and good morning gentleman interesting call I like to say comment to your gas that I really appreciated his articulation about the God factor with regards to being creation and creation happening with intentionality and how that somehow translates into how I really appreciate that line of steam that having been said the guest at the top of the hour said something to the reference about the privatization of space exploration which think is a great thing but what I would like to posture to post your question is is that is that even better that space is becoming more of its eyes will say a lot mosque and like given the increased. You know acrimonious climate politically to the to the preservation of the space exploration program nationally and internationally in the u.s. And secondly the 2nd question is whether guards to say initiatives like the Green New Deal and stuff like that is these kinds of initiatives some how could they potentially undermine the advancement of the space exploration whether it's Politico. You know by our government promoted or sustained or by private industry and and so and 3rd my last question is God is there anything from x. Place exploration that indicates that we can somehow repair our and that's my questions thanks we'll stay stuck to the ozone one 1st if you Ok well the ozone does seem to be getting better there are not on its own in it yes because we stopped x. X. Hailing a lot of the freon based compounds and other materials that break it down a single molecule most of the freons can break down from 50 to 300 molecules of ozone in its lifetime before decays so you know the fact that we stop exhausting the stuff really helped and the holes are healing but there are cyclic properties and part of it is how much sunlight you know ultraviolet reaches for instance the poles and also what sort of freon so they're naturally produced in volcanoes get exhaust into the atmosphere from those natural sources so you're not going to get rid of all of it but you're going to get rid of a lot of it and we seem to be in pretty good shape right now yes we could make more ozone there's a number of schemes to do it but they're pretty big and engineering challenges at this point. Now let's see the other one was privatization of space you think that you know it's a good thing can we be held hostage like a James Bond movie where you know some company says and holds other countries hostage by basically saying we've got missiles in space and we've got nukes up there now we're coming after you unless you do this this this well it's certainly possible but it doesn't make a lot of sense and there's a limited amount of land area and clean water and clean air on the eart
