The final frontier, the stories came contained within this content are the after 5 p.m. and

before 8 p.m. escapades of the middle-aged space nerd with the fro. Continuing to talk about things that only interest me for

bonus content, I will talk about space news, pop culture in space, in shop talk, ramen, and breakdown the latest episode of Star Trek,

whatever is coming out from the latest franchise, and also whatever is popping in my head. If you're up for this journey, just know that this is a metered, shade-laced opinion. If you don't agree, don't subscribe, but I hope you will, and thanks for the support.

Three, two, one, zero, zero, ever in the list of, let's sell up Americans, return to space and discover, he clears the tower.

Do you remember when there was an episode of the Muppet Show where they would say, pigs in space, when did that premiere? I don't know why I thought of that once I hit the poor button, but pigs in space premiered.

The Muppet Show, they actually got a wiki girl, fandom. It actually was a part of the Muppets and it aired between 1976 and 1981, pigs in space. I remember that, that is hysterical. But anyways, this week, space 1971 and space news.

I'm not just talking about the shrieking Muppets, I'm also talking today about what happened in 1971. I got a kick out of that. This didn't happen to June 16, 1971, but it was during the summer, that summer of 1971, that the Apollo 15 had touched down.

They were actually on the moon, and that, or excuse me, that mission mission was between July 26 to August 7 of 1971.

It was the first long, it was one of the longest missions and to stay the longest on the moon, and it focused on science more than other earlier landings.

And it was the first one to put a car on the moon, basically they basically threw a Jeep up there and they just called it the lunar roving vehicle.

One of the astronauts being a clutch that they are is something I would do, popped off a fender, and then they did what did mudding on the moon, and it basically spewed dust, not only on the vehicle itself, but also on the astronauts, which I thought was funny.

But this mission was also known for a scandal surrounding it. They basically took it, they got in the trouble of the post office when they took about 400 unauthorized postal covers up there, and they got a fee for it.

I mean, this is like marketing 101, they made the government made them give back the money, and they confiscated the illegal covers, but then after all of them had left the space agency, they basically suit NASA for they scratch.

So can you imagine that would be so dope to basically get your hands on one of those stamps, basically what they quit the lid is to like they look like little post cards.

They the bugs of worth anywhere between 50 to 100 G's now I came for that, but and I've been priced out of it, but I think I may actually have a replica of the Apollo 15 patch.

I bought a whole bunch of these patches from on Amazon not too long ago, and I was like, why does it have all these Apollo missions, but the Apollo program was one of the last was the

missions that actually we landed men on the moon and they basically walked around on the moon. We haven't been back. It's people have been saying this.

I think the last time we were actually on the moon was either 73 or 74. I'm going to have to look that up for before the next episode.

But it was the importance of the space program in our interest in our learning about space and it goes into this next segment.

Deloitte released a report given an itinerary about other companies, and this is a delight is known for their consultant.

They're basically this is how I think is brilliant the way they basically are they see the value in companies participating in from just a business or capitalistic standpoint, the value of a company participating in the business of space.
