0:00.0 | Y'all, for the first time in history over the weekend, |
0:02.9 | we shot a billionaire to space. |
0:06.8 | And then he successfully landed. |
0:09.8 | Wow, wow, a very weird energy in the room this morning. |
0:13.6 | But yeah, welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. |
0:15.7 | It is Monday, July 12th, 2021. |

1:07.4 | military and NASA recognized the start of outer space at 50 miles above |
1:10.9 | the Earth's service. So anyone passing above that line is officially an astronaut according to |
