| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Jocelyn Thompson-Rool, I'm a Peloton instructor and I teach running and bootcamp |
| 0:04.4 | classes on the Peloton tread. Don't get caught up in the amount of time that you have to spend |
| 0:08.7 | doing something you don't need to do 30 minutes or 60 minutes for it to count. Five minutes can |
| 0:13.1 | make a big difference, even like a simple walk or a stretch or something just to get you started, |
| 0:18.4 | start small and don't short-change yourself. The Guardian Labs has partnered with Peloton to help |
| 0:23.3 | you find motivation that moves you. To find out more, visit theguardian.com forward slash motivation |

| 0:41.3 | of the story about Luxembourg's ambitions to privatize and commercialize outer space. |
| 0:47.2 | I became interested in reporting on Luxembourg's big plans for a space privatization. |

| 1:23.2 | laws regarding outer space. More specifically, Luxembourg wanted to pass a law that made it possible |
| 1:30.8 | to own property in outer space. I thought that was really weird and interesting because a lot of |
| 1:38.0 | the time, I mean most of the time, when we own something, it's because a government tacitly |
| 1:43.4 | or explicitly says yes, you can own this. If I own a house, it's because the government has in |
| 1:49.2 | some way approved this ownership or the sale. But when it comes to outer space, it's not entirely |
