You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the I-Heart Radio Lab.

Okay, so John, the first parachutes have deployed ahead of the spacecraft splashdown.

So in just about two minutes, the Artemis II astronauts are going to be back on Earth. So if you watch

TV, you can see, you can see one of those parachutes. It's just, it looks like a mushroom.

It's just flying in the sky. Flying mushroom. Flying mushroom with two parachutes,

slowing down its descent. Because it was coming in.

I forgot what the speed was, but it was, I'll look it up.

But it was coming in extremely fast when it hit the atmosphere.

And it has a heat shield on it.

Last time this type of spacecraft hit the atmosphere, the heat shield was damaged.

It looked pock-pop-p-marked at the end of its journey until it hit the water.

And then there's, it looks like these balloons are being, I guess these are more parachutes

to slow it down even more dramatically.

Yeah, now we can see it and they look more like balloons, not mushrooms.

Because if it was far away, it looked like a mushroom to me.

That's what a vegan sees.

It's a Rorschach tech to test for vegans.

So we have a minute seven left.

Yeah, the parachutes are brightly colored, orange and white.
