Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bo again. So today we're going to talk about

Bezos, Amazon's pledge for $10 billion, and the journeys, the journey that comes along with it. So Bezos is putting out

ten billion dollars for a fund to help combat climate change. Cool.

Cool. People are already saying that it's a PR move and it probably is on

some level. Doesn't mean that he's not putting up 10 bill for a bill. There are a lot of people who are opposed

to the idea of addressing climate change for various reasons, but I want to point to the space

program. Okay, when we point to the space program.

Okay, when we think of the space program, when we think of the space race, what do we think of?

Sputnik, right?

The Soviet satellite.

We think of N Armstrong, John Glyn, Michael Collins, you know

famous astronauts and it culminates in the moon shot putting a spacecraft on the moon.

That's what we think of in the space race.

But what about all the byproducts?

The stuff that we don't realize is actually part of the space race, like your

cordless vacuum. That was invented because of the space race.

NASA needed batteries. Well that's where it came from. The CMOS

sensor that's in the camera this is filmed on has its origins in the space race.

All those cool prosthetics that exist today.

Their roots are in the robotics of the space race. Those silly memory phone mattresses, space

race. The firefighting equipment that has saved thousands of lives.

Space Race.
