| 0:00.0 | Deep in the mountains of Greece, the country's most-wanted man has been on the run for over a decade. |
| 0:07.0 | He's a bank robber, a kid napper, but to many Greeks, he's a hero. |
| 0:13.7 | His name is Vasili Spaliokostas and we're on the trail of the man behind the men, a modern-day Robin Hood |
| 0:20.3 | who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. |
| 0:22.9 | I'm Miles Gray, listen to the Good Thief on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:30.0 | Welcome to Tech Stuff, a production from iHeartRadio. |
| 0:42.8 | Hey there and welcome to Tech Stuff. I'm your host, Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive |
| 0:47.8 | producer with iHeartRadio and how the tech are you? It's time for the tech news for Tuesday, |
| 0:53.9 | April 18, 2023. Yesterday, SpaceX had to scrub its planned orbital test of the Starship spacecraft. |
| 1:04.0 | Starship is a two-stage launch vehicle. The second stage also serves as a spacecraft that's |
| 1:10.8 | capable of carrying a crew or you know cargo. It is the most powerful launch vehicle ever built to date. |
| 1:18.4 | It is capable of producing nearly twice as much thrust as NASA's space launch system, |
| 1:25.1 | which is its latest launch vehicle, but Starship has not yet left the ground. SpaceX has |
| 1:32.1 | test-fired Starship engines in the past, igniting 31 of the 33 engines in a test, but those tests had |
| 1:40.2 | the launch vehicle bolted to the platform so you know I didn't go anywhere. This was really just a |
| 1:44.8 | test of the engines. Yesterday, the plan was to launch Starship into orbit. It would be an uncrewed |
| 1:53.0 | mission so there's no one aboard and it was meant to go into orbit and take a full orbit |
| 1:57.9 | of the Earth, but that didn't happen and ultimately also this is important because it's different |
| 2:04.4 | from how it will normally be operated. The Starship was meant to have both stages crash into the ocean. |
| 2:10.6 | Now in normal operation, these components will return to Earth with a controlled landing |
| 2:18.8 | so that you can reuse the same vehicle repeatedly and thus bring down the cost of launching |
| 2:25.2 | things into space, just like they've been doing with the Falcon 9, but this is a much larger |
