| 0:00.0 | Stephen, our video, it's going to the moon. We've never had a video do what that video did in 17 years, |
| 0:12.7 | because longer than Froano's photos been around, I've posted, but we've never had a video |
| 0:17.2 | skyrocket and go to the moon like that video did. |
| 0:21.3 | To infinity and beyond for sure. Yeah, I have never seen views like that in the 13, 14 years |
| 0:27.4 | that I've been working with you. Quite insane. Yeah, we're talking about the video that I put up |
| 0:32.0 | that says, why everyone is wrong, Artemis 2 versus Apollo's Earth Photos, 2026 versus 1972. I won't say that it was a throwaway |
| 0:44.0 | video that we were making, but it was one of those videos like when I analyzed the presidential |
| 0:49.9 | portraits or something. It's something like that where people were talking about this image. |
| 0:54.7 | Now, we're going to dive deeper into the images in a second. And I'm not going to dive into |
| 0:58.3 | the analytics right now of this video, but I will be diving into how many views it's got, |

| 1:12.8 | like this on a video. And speaking of numbers, if you're not following along, we hit basically |
| 1:17.6 | half a million views in less than 24 hours. Pretty crazy. Currently at 566,000 and still |
| 1:24.3 | doing three or so thousand views an hour, which is far cry from what it was at the height of 43,000 views in an hour. |
| 1:34.1 | But we'll get to that when we get to that. |
| 1:36.9 | But the whole reason I made the video was because of the photos that were put up by NASA. |
| 1:43.9 | For those that aren't aware of, or if you've |
| 1:45.7 | been living under the freaking rock, I don't know what's happening. But the Artemis 2 mission took |
| 1:51.1 | off like seven days ago at this point and was on its way to the moon. And we also got photos |
| 1:59.0 | that it got of Earth, when it could get the full Earth in the image. |
| 2:03.1 | And then yesterday, or two days ago, well, yesterday they started releasing images, but two days |
