0:35.1	Celsius.
0:36.1	And then we can separate all of the pollution from the atmosphere.
0:40.7	Correct.
0:41.3	And then there just won't be any pollution.
0:43.7	The problem is the people on the planet cannot survive in temperatures of 6,000 degrees.
0:50.7	So we need to transport them all up to the ship temporarily.
0:55.3	I don't think there's room for everybody on the ship, is there?
0:57.9	Also, can I get a sense of what era they are? Is it kind of like a classic 50s era where they
1:03.5	don't know anything about space, like where we would have to create a holodex simulation for
1:08.2	them? Or they advanced and we could just do it.
1:10.7	Great point, because I know we're on Theron 8, but if we were just going to, like, locally call it, like, gangster planet, or, like, what would we call it, you know, just, like, in regular parlance? Honestly, Captain, the best comparison for it would probably be Rockabilly planet. Rockabilly.
1:28.2	It's a very like rockabilly, like 1950s, 1960s rockabilly culture.
1:32.9	So we will have to create kind of a fun, you know, diner scene for them to be in
1:39.2	the holodeck where we can keep them all while we de-pollute their planet.
1:43.1	Yeah, and I think that's the easy part. I think the hard part is going to be the transporter logistics. How many people are on the planet? Like 20, 25? Billion? What? Yeah, 2025 billion. We can't fit that many people on the ship. I was worried about 25. We're going to have to cycle them in and out. So we'll superheat part of the atmosphere
2:01.9	and whoever's in that part. We transport them up. We keep them in the holodeck. Again, there's a lot of logistics that are going to go into this captain. Okay, okay. Well, what's... Corpumite and I were like getting really, really into this. You already talked to Corpumite about this? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know why he's not here.
2:17.7	Without talking to me?
2:18.8	Yeah.
2:19.9	Okay, cool. I mean, he's my direct supervisors. Yeah, no problem, I said. Yeah, no problem, I said. I'm Space, the final frontier.
