Hey, it's Zoe Ball and Joe Wiley here from the Digit podcast, and we're currently sponsored by the Woodland Trust.

The Woodland Trust lets you dedicate a tree, a bench, even a whole area of woodland in someone's name.

It really is a gift that keeps growing and every dedication

this is just a beautiful way to celebrate a birthday, a wedding, anniversary, anything really.

I'm John Batchew my good friend Bob Zimmerman, who keeps the website behind the black,

about the rise and success and really sky's not the limit. Outer space, the cosmos is the limit for commercial space. But we come to Big Space. An event in

these next hours is the capstone of Big Space's talk in the 20th century, launching astronauts

around the moon on a new-built rocket, the SLS, on a new-built capsule, the Orion. And the question

came to me as Bob and I were preparing for these remarks,

what is the mission? We've been around the moon. Apollo 8 did that spectacularly at Christmas

of 1968. 1968. It was spectacular. And Bob's book about it gives you the drama that was

the original NASA. There's no drama in this

event. There's instead well-taken worry about the risk to the astronauts and the whole system.

Also, there's a reputation, not a reputation, a legacy at NASA that nothing ever works the first five times you try it. So I am not

in any way anxious about this launch. I don't think it's going to happen, even though Bob tells me

it's 80% to launch. They still find details to slow things down or take it back into the barn.

They've done this many times.

So why would they not now, Bob?

John, we would be blessed if they had a problem.
