The Ladies and gentlemen welcome to oral presentations episode 33 American Hero

Astro Chimp Ham. We are we are gonna be taking a look back at the space race back in like Apollo 8 times again 40s 50s and 60s

JFK makes an appearance at one point in time in this in this episode and the topic as a whole is a

You guys know how like Elon Musk shot that he like shot a rocket I don't know or he's gonna shoot a rocket? No, he definitely already did it and

like tried to make it seem like it was some sort of huge... I don't even know what the point of that was. I just saw

that you almost shot a rocket and then it went to like an international space

station and I feel like just nobody but that's I saw that that was going to

happen so I was thinking about the space program and I really don't know anything

about the time when they were just shooting animals up in this I have no idea like I know

Like I've seen pictures of like a dog with a space helmet on

I don't know and just the concept of how crazy it is that at some point in time humans were like all right we got to go to space and then we just put other animals and just threw it as high as possible into the air.

Just cranked back a Nerf vortex throw on that one and just saw what happened.

And it, I also like this topic because it feels like one that more than many other recent ones I would absolutely lean into somebody at work to just start talking about this tone if I looked it up and I had I had animal

astronaut facts like this more than most other recent topics feels like one that I

would just lean in and be like hey what's going on you know about this thing

in 61 when they, they

didn't even know if the rocket was like safe at all and they were just, they had them

hooked up like, and I don't know, I really like the topic because of that.

But yeah, it's because the Elon Musk launch that nobody even knew the reason. I try to ask people like why is it why is that even important? Why does it matter that he shot a rocket up into space. And apparently it's supposed to be an example of civilian money and NASA money working together to accomplish things in space,

but I don't like to be negative yeah but how what's

that really even doing I haven't we done this a lot yeah I just don't know the

science behind it at least when when NASA was shooting it all different
