0:00.0	I've done the thing I desperately did not want to do in 2026.
0:24.3	Ever admit we're wrong? No, I'm happy to admit I'm wrong. I never want to upset the women in STEM. I was like, what have we done? I, fuck. Was it something to do with the moon? I've upset, yeah, it is. I've upset the community that means the most to me. Did I say something about the women in STEM? No, I just said that the moon landing could have been fake.
0:21.0	Absolutely. upset the community that means the most to me. Did I say something about the women in STEM?
0:25.6	No, I just said that the moon landing could have been fake. And the women in STEM... I think you said it a little stronger than that.
0:27.8	The women in STEM have rightfully, totally understandably, had an issue with me saying that.
0:34.8	This would be a perfect cancellation though. Michelle Andrews cancelled
0:38.2	for positive that the moon landing may have been fake. And I do want to say an unreserved
0:43.6	apology to every woman in STEM. I do want to do a shout out to Alex. Yes. I would say Alex,
0:50.3	our high priestess of the STEM club. Can I read her email? Please. Some correspondence from Alex this week. Long-time list of first-time caller. Hopefully I can answer some of your questions, Michelle, as a member of the women in STEM club. My credentials, I'm an astrophysicist. Well, welcome, Alex. I don't know why you listen to her. She's worked in the space industry for over a decade. She doesn't listen
1:11.6	to Dumbstaff Friday's doll. She won't be hearing this. She has personally worked alongside astronauts
1:16.9	including Buzz Aldrin. No way. Buzzy Big Buzz. Alex, thank you for fucking listening.
1:22.4	Sorry for offending your entire profession. She said long story short, sending people to the moon is
1:27.0	extremely expensive. And public opinion and enthusiasm had waned by 1975. So Congress declared that the NASA
1:34.3	missions should not be focused on the moon. It should be focused on Mars. That's been the case
1:39.3	until Trump came in, changed it. I know I'm now getting geopolitical, but now there are more planned missions
1:46.3	to the moon. That's because we can move to Mars, but we can't move to the moon. Yeah, so she
1:51.5	essentially, Alex very, very kindly explain to me why I'm wrong. And Alex and to every other
1:57.7	woman in STEM, I bow down.
2:02.2	It is a bit weird though, isn't it?
2:03.7	I'm just kidding.
2:06.1	I'm the one that's, I believe this since the dawn of time.
2:07.2	Yeah.
