2024 Expectations - Space - Science - AI - UFOs UAP

Show Transcript

As 2023 winds down, I am joined by Jimmy Church of Faded Black Radio for a discussion of what 2024 may hold in regards to developments in AI, space, science, and of course, UFOs. Welcome to this episode of Mysteries with a History, where you'll be taken on a wild ride into the unknown, the strange, and the mysterious. (00:33) Like you, I have questions. And like you, I want answers. And with each episode together, we will peel away the layers to look for the truth. Let's bring in my co-host, Jimmy Church of Fade to Black Radio. You just love doing that, don't you? I prep you before you come in. You're like, okay, right now, let's bring him in. (00:57) Right now. To be fair, from the beginning of 2023 until today, the interest has gotten a lot shorter. I was doing my hair and stuff. Anyway, Happy New Year, Christina. How are you? What's going on? Things are good. Happy New Year to you too. You look bright and cheery. Are you looking forward to 2024? Heck yeah. (01:28) Can't look at the past, you know, except in this case you can. But 2024 seems rather promising when it comes to a handful of advancements. And I think we should start off with something that we talk a lot about on this channel. And that's AI. Should we get into that aspect first, Jimmy? There is so much. (01:49) Coffee went down the wrong pipe. There is so much going on in 2024. Starting with AI is cool. We can go there first. There is so much to look forward to. And let me say this. Christina, take it away. I've got to take a sip. Absolutely. So one of the biggest things that took place in 2024 has to do with significant AI advancements. (02:21) Now, while ChatGPT came out in November of 2022, it was in 2023 when people really started getting on the bandwagon, started using it. And then a lot of other companies and organizations, I almost want to say, also jumped on it when they saw how, I would say, Not just the word progressive, but in the sense of how much it will be used throughout the planet. (02:48) Why? Let me add one thing to that, if I may. There was a huge amount of financial investment across the board. And so just like anything else, when something significant kicks off, like with America Online back in 1995, 1994, 95, when that launched and suddenly the internet was in front of us, all you had to have was a website, you know, a dot com. (03:26) And you had everybody was and it's the same type of phenomenon that is going on right now with AI. If you're an AI company, you've got investment. The jumps that have been made across the board with, of course, you have Google and you have Facebook and Amazon and Microsoft and those applications going across the board, across every single platform, and that includes Twitter. (03:59) These huge amounts of money have gone into this, and that is part of the incentive for for getting ahead of our skis, right? We're just jumping into this without any consideration of the future or any problems that may result from these very, very, very, very fast advancements seemingly without any regulation. (04:26) And so I think that's a big motivation a big motivation factor for the way that AI has entered our lives. It's the financial side that includes everything else that you just mentioned. You bring up something that needs to be addressed and it's kind of referring to the law. How is AI going to be regulated? The United States and places in Europe are already looking at that, placing laws, placing amendments as well, because in a sense, it's almost getting a little out of hand. (04:57) Now, before I get into that, because I do have an article for you. I do wanna mention the ones that came out this year. So you have Microsoft Copilot and Bing Chat. You have the Google Bard and Gemini, which between you and me, Bart is not that good. Okay. Then you have Twitter Grok. And then you have a new one that just launched last month with Amazon. (05:20) And that's Amazon Q and Q Business. And this one, I was like, hold up. How did I not know about this? Yes, it just came out a few weeks ago. But I imagined news outlets would be spilling it everywhere, spewing it all over the place. And it wasn't until I was doing research for today's show that I come across it. (05:38) Jimmy, have you heard of Amazon Q before? Yeah, it's a new type. Here's the thing. It's a new type of generative artificial intelligence, and it's an assistant that's specifically for work and can be tailored to customers, businesses, but it's targeted at AWS, Amazon Web Services. (06:05) And Amazon, of course, Amazon Prime and getting boxes delivered. That's what comes to mind first with Amazon. And that's not where Amazon makes its money. Amazon makes its money for... from web services and server farms and data and storage. AWS runs just about everything with the internet these days. (06:34) And so Amazon needed to obviously jump on the artificial intelligence bandwagon like everybody else. But how do you profit from it? How do you increase these already enormous profits for AWS, Amazon Web Services? They answered that with Amazon Q. And now the changes and what this means for everybody else, you have to understand that AWS, it doesn't matter if you're on the Internet. (07:10) your banking, the stuff that you do on your phone, everything funnels through just about an Amazon web server farm, AWS. That is how big AWS is. The more you know, because I didn't know that little tidbit about AWS, something that I do know when it comes to Europe and then making an AI act, which was just released in early December of this year, where European lawmakers wrap up a busy policy year as it is every year all over the world. (07:45) And they agreed on the AI Act, which will introduce binding rules and standards on how to develop the riskiest AI more responsibly. And it will also ban, quote, certain unacceptable applications of AI, such as, listen to this, this is really important, such as police use of facial recognition in public spaces. (08:11) Now, with first of all, that little aspect is really interesting, but we have to kind of bring into this is in twenty twenty four. Are we going to see more censorship because AI and censorship, they play hand in hand with this? And I I have to share this with you. I want to hear it from you, Jimmy. I want to hear it from those watching this, from all of my subscribers. (08:36) Because I spoke to Google support this morning, actually. And I did. And I had a few questions. And here's a screenshot of that conversation, because I have the receipts here. And I said, is this channel shadow banned? And why did I ask that? because I have had people comment to me, DM me, email me saying they have unsubscribed without their own knowledge. (09:01) They're not getting notifications even when they hit the notification bell and they don't know why I was getting so many of those responses. I wrote to Google support and I said, look, we're coming to twenty twenty four. Is something going on here? Can I have information on that? Because this channel, similar to yours, Jimmy, It covers topics that are kind of deemed as a cult, such as UFOs, UAP, the paranormal, unexplained mysteries, et cetera. (09:27) And I said, can you confirm or deny that this channel is shadow banned? And they gave the answer right here to answer your question directly, says Google. We are unable to confirm nor deny this matter. Jimmy. Jimmy, Jimmy. Okay. First of all, why is that statement right there significant? Why is it worth mentioning in your opinion? Because you're shadow banned, right? If you weren't, the answer is simple. (09:58) No, there's no issues with your channel. We love you. Everything is fine. We are unable to confirm nor deny this matter. And I find that extremely interesting. Okay. This is – let's back up for a second. Microsoft Copilot, which it's a Microsoft world, at least from where I sit – I use Microsoft 365. (10:30) That is incorporated with other network platforms that I use. And 365 interconnects everything. So I get this notification. I was working on some stuff. Would you like to use Microsoft Copilot and our AI information systems in Bing? Now, I don't use Bing. Okay, I use Chrome. Who does? Okay, serious question. (10:57) It's a great question. Well, anyway, and I said, no, no, no. And I went, what? wait a minute here, this stuff was already activated? And would I like to use it? I had to go back and turn it off. Google BARD and Gemini are both conversational AI tools by Google, and they collaborate together. BARD is, this is Google's statement about BARD. (11:29) Collaborate with BARD to brainstorm ideas, spark creativity, and accelerate productivity. That's how they are advertising it out there. It's like reckless abandon, right? Oh, that seems okay. I'm going to go ahead and use this. I think it is a massive data collection tool. And we need to be very, very, very careful about how we jump into this. (11:57) Twitter Gork, Gork, Gork, the Twitter Gork is an AI modeled after Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And I love Douglas Adams. I love the movie, love the books. And it's intended to answer almost everything. If you go back to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and dealing with Grok, you understand this appeal there. (12:26) To answer almost anything, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask. Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak. So please don't use it if you hate humor. That is direct. That kind of reminds you of Elon Musk, like he wrote that himself. Well, not just that. (12:47) Not just that, Jimmy. But what's really funny for those that use Grok is they even have a little one that you can choose that says roast me. So it will go over all of your posts that you posted on Twitter, and it will just rip you apart. And it's hilarious. It's so funny. But it will humble you. (13:05) If you don't want to know. Twitter's humbled me many times. And so when I look at all of this, Microsoft Copilot and, of course, Google Bard and Gemini, Twitter Grok, Amazon Q, everybody is on board with this. Earlier today on the news, I did this press release. Now, this came out over the weekend, and I had read it. (13:35) just thinking to myself this this has arrived it's like our biggest fear uh pakistan's uh prime minister is currently in prison and uh ex-prime minister but he's also running for office again from prison and he's in prison because he was selling gifts state gifts that were given to him by whoever, you know, from around the world, different countries. (14:03) He was selling them. Okay. All right. So he went to prison for that. But for a new political ad, his political party is called PTI. He wrote out a message that was sent to his political party. They turned around and used artificial intelligence, a couple of robots, generative software platforms out there to convert his voice into this message. (14:41) And they put it out there and they streamed it on Twitter. and it's his voice now that that that fear that right there the ability to do that well in this case it was sanctioned by khan himself okay but this same system whatever it is that you type out can be applied to anybody's voice and it can be as realistic as as you want it to be now is it Is it something that could be misleading or confusing, or could it be used to inflame a segment of the world? Think about that for a second. (15:25) Seems cool at first, but in the wrong hands, you don't know what's real and what's not, Christina. That's where the difficulty lies in this. And there have been a handful of articles written about chat GPT when it came out up until today on understanding its level of bias. Then you have Grok, which is run by Twitter, now known as the X, and it has that level of comedy that we don't see often in AI. (15:54) And then you have Bing, which is similar to chat GPT, but I think it's I'm not sure because I don't use it that much, their version. But it's very similar to ChatGBT. It also has that level of bias in some cases. And then you have the other one that I mentioned. Let me just make sure. Just to make sure I'm on the same page. (16:14) And then you have BARD. Okay. Highly do not recommend. I've tried using it. And it gets... all of the information wrong. Well, almost all of it. But the thing is that if you don't know, but Jimmy, you bring up a good point. If you don't know what information is correct and incorrect, you are spreading misinformation all over the place, thinking that the internet has it right, that this AI that's meant to be a super genius has it right. (16:39) And it doesn't. And the thing is that if you do not backtracked, you're in trouble. Yeah, that's right. That's right. And it seems like the fact checking now is also artificial intelligence. And now speaking about ChatGPT, a couple of months ago, before we move on, its CEO and founder, was fired by their board, which the employees rebelled. (17:08) A day later, Microsoft announces that they have hired him to come over to Microsoft and offered any of the 500 employees that had signed a letter and threatened to quit offered all of them jobs. Now, at a time, so you read this and you go, well, Microsoft is jumping on board. It turned out Microsoft was in a win-win situation. (17:37) The 500 employees who threatened to quit unless they rehired the CEO, right? That's pretty bizarre. Would the board turn around and respond? This is what ended up happening. It was then revealed that Microsoft was the biggest shareholder and the biggest investor into ChatGPT. So they bring over and they hire the CEO, and they hire all of the employees. (18:06) They already own the company. The CEO was fired by their own board, but Microsoft hired, and they win either way. So the 500 employees that either hire him back, what happened a day later? Three days, he gets fired, he gets hired by Microsoft, and on day three, The board gets fired and... And they rehire the CEO and Microsoft increases its investment back into chat GPT. (18:38) These are the things that are going on behind the scenes, everybody, that we don't really understand. That's where AI is. It is the big money thing right now for not only major corporations, but investment on Wall Street and the move forward as we go into 2024. Yes. Now, I do have one amazing update about ChatGPT. (19:02) So they're getting a ChatGPT 5 next year in 2024. And let me tell you the number one biggest highlight that I am stoked for. This is wild. So according to a speech that was held by one of the frontier researchers at OpenAI, his name is Mark Chen. He gave a speech November of 2023, and he said, that the multi-model capabilities in OpenAI's ChatGPT4 model enable the software to respond to visual and audio input. (19:35) And then he mentions in his talk that Chen gave the example of taking a photo of the inside of your fridge and asking the AI model to suggest a recipe based off of the photos of the inside of the fridge and then creating with all the ingredients that are inside. You know how badly I want to use that right now? I've been looking for it and I can't find a good one. (20:01) When that news release came out and I was talking about it and I was also thinking about that, So the ability to scan your refrigerator, right, like that, and know your ingredients expiration dates. You know what? You better use that jar of mayonnaise. Right. it is and it was uh it was pretty interesting and i think i'm gonna check that out too as well just as a test if anything else right you know it would be amazing but then i just found out today okay i have a sick story for you jimmy because i just found out today (20:45) I was looking on Amazon, and I wanted to buy a table. And it gave you this brand-new option that I've never seen before. It will scan your room, and it will show you how the piece of furniture looks in your room. Uh-huh. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. See, and that's the teaser, though, Christina. (21:08) That's the teaser. This is what AI can do for you. This is what machine learning can do for you. right? And everything else, it's that side of it where, yeah, if used correctly, it is absolutely very cool. So, Did you take a picture? Did you upload it? Did you look at the table? You don't have to upload it. (21:32) It just reads your camera, which is already kind of sketched, to be real. And it scans your room, and then it gives you the dimensions of the table, and it'll match it in the room. So let's say you want to buy a couch but don't know what kind of rug you want. Not all of the products give you that feature, but a lot of them do. (21:50) And then you can kind of feel out if you're an interior designer, for instance, right? It's a wacky game changer. It's insane. All those interior designers are going to be out of work. Right? See? It kind of goes both ways. What was that? Christina's fridge will look like ketchup and ramen tonight. (22:16) I found the ultimate ramen edition. Okay. Are you ready? Shameless plug. Trader Joe's. has a jar it's about this big of olive oil and red pepper flakes and it's orange because the red pepper flakes soak into the olive oil and man you just take add it to anything but let me tell you something ramen and that Boom. (22:52) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So just go to Trader Joe's and go, olive oil, red pepper flakes. They'll take you straight to it. It's amazing. You can add it to anything. I think there's onions in it, too, as well. So good. Can't go wrong with onions. So before we move on to our next topic, let me ask you this. (23:11) What do you what can we expect in 2024 when it comes to AI advancements? What do you think will take place and maybe how will it change our current understanding of reality? Yeah, I think it's going to apply across the board in media. So AI being used to create not only books, articles that you read, the news, your feeds, all of that, because right now somebody's got to type, somebody's got to write, somebody's got to think. (23:47) We're going to see that. But then there's the other part where we are going to see generative AI being used in imaging, used in commercials, used in film, used in television, constantly. So I'll give you a quick example. And you may never notice this. You're shooting a TV show, you're shooting a movie, and you do a take, and it's not perfect, but the director is thinking to himself, we can fix that with AI. (24:20) Let's move on. So now you're watching the film. So now, instead of doing 20 takes of something, you do two. Maybe you do one. And then later in post, you go in and fix it with AI. It's going to save the production companies a ton of money. But the people that are working on the film, now let's say you do 20 takes. (24:48) That's a union shop that is now in overtime. And instead of doing those 20 takes and you're doing one, people are going to make less money. That's the first part. The second part is, say, the film budget. is $100 million or $200 million, or it's $100,000, right? It's an independent feature. (25:13) All of that can now shrink. So your budgets are less and you are more productive, but less people are being paid, including the actors. So we're going to see a ton of that moving, I mean, so fast going into 2024. That's what that actor's strike was all about, no? It was about AI writing scripts. (25:39) And correct me if I'm wrong, because I didn't really care for it between you and me, but I'm pretty sure that's what the strike was about. There were two strikes. Actor's strike, writer's guild strike. Both were overlapping with this AI situation. And the actor's part of it, which is what I'm referring to here when it comes to AI, Let's say, just pull out a name, Kiefer Sutherland, right? Okay, so Kiefer has got a new TV series out, and then there are scenes in the TV series where Kiefer didn't shoot. (26:19) They used his face, right? And AI, you would never know. Now, does Kiefer get paid for those AI scenes? No. Or not. And that's what the actors feel like. Yeah, yeah. So it's a very, very big deal. And the point before we move on, we've got so much to cover today. But the point about all of that, I was reading about that. (26:45) I live in Hollywood. I'm reading about this. And then I see I'm on Reddit. And I'd see this thread on Reddit about this particular series that I was in the middle of watching. And a specific actor in one of these scenes didn't shoot the scene. And I was like, wait a minute, I just saw that episode. (27:10) What are they talking about? So I go back and I watch the episode. Watch the specific scene. And I said, no. That was really him. And I think Reddit got it wrong. And then I stopped and went, oh, it fooled me. Oh, crap. That's where we are. And then I understood the whole Writers Guild and Actors Guild position on this, where I thought everybody got it wrong. (27:50) I was all ready to pose like, no, man, that was really him. that's, that's the crazy part. I went back, Christina, I watched that scene like five times. There is no way that you would know that it wasn't the actor. I don't want to say the specific part. It was the writer's guild strike and everything. (28:13) I don't want to get specific here, but it's here. It's arrived and it's going to be everywhere as we move forward. That's insane. See, I was not even aware of that little detail just because I wasn't keeping up with that strike by any means. But when you put it in that context, it's very relevant to what we're talking about today. (28:32) And, of course, if that were to take place as it is now, it's going to cause a lot of issues in the near future as it is in this point in time. Here's the point, though. Would you care? Do you care? It's entertainment. One of the best things or one of the things that I enjoy the most is a really good CGI fight. (28:59) Oh, yeah. Right? Transformers. Well, you know it's not real, but do you care? No. No, it's entertainment. So I'm asking you, if one of your favorite actors, and you find out later that they didn't even act in that scene, but you enjoyed the scene, Right? Do you care? Does it matter? For the majority of people, it would only matter if it affects you. (29:33) Right? Now, if you're watching it merely for entertainment, as you gave that as an example, for the majority of people, no, it wouldn't bother them. But when you begin to see the consequences of it, that's when it can turn into an issue. But if you're not familiar with the topic as a whole, you're watching a movie, you're watching a TV show merely for the entertainment, just like cartoons, okay? That's an example. (29:57) I get that. I get that. But okay, so now let's do a complete flip here, okay? Production studio goes to Tom Cruise and says, Tom, we want you for this next film for $50 million. Tom's like, cool, man. Great script. When do we start shooting? We're not. We're going to use an AI version of you, but we're going to pay you $50 million. (30:30) And Tom says, cool. So he gets his 50 million. The world gets a movie starring Tom Cruise, right? Right. But he doesn't shoot a single scene. Does that matter? Does that matter? Is that really Tom Cruise? Or do we care? I'm telling you, that is the future. There's no way we can stop it. So we need to think about these pop culture considerations, this discernment consideration, right? Do I care that that's Tom Cruise? This is a really good scene. (31:16) That movie was really good, but he wasn't even in it. But I went to go see it because it said starring Tom Cruise. That's the world. That's the future. I know. Crazy, isn't it? Crazy. Crazy. Good points that that aren't always addressed. So I liked how we're having these kinds of, I want to say like a crock pot of brain juices going all over the place is trying to comprehend what's going on and what the future will hold. (31:46) I do want to say Cassidy. Thank you so much, Laurie. Thank you. And D no P dubs at dyslexia there. Thank you as well. Thank you so much. That is, is so, so kind because I, you know they are supers are so appreciated they do help so much for this channel and now that we have proof that google and youtube is shadow banning this channel so please make sure that you are subscribed notifications are on because they can either confirm nor deny and that is all the information that i need Oh, man. (32:19) You know... Okay, let's move on. We could... AI is so important. We can absolutely spend the entire show today or any other day talking about AI. I've given my warnings. I've thought about this quite a bit. I love technology. I love where the future is, and I dig it. I'm in a technical world. (32:44) I just... I'm a Harley. This is how much of a geek I am. This is called a quad lock. It also is the magnetic, right? The mag charger. Quad lock. This goes on my handlebars. Got a little quad lock. And you just go twist, boom, right there. Cell phone on my motorcycle. Now, is that too much? Is that taking things too far? Isn't that expression of freedom that a motorcycle gives you anti-that? Right? Right? You're not supposed to have that. (33:31) And I've watched other motorcycles drive by, and I see the cell phone mounted. I'm like, man, no, no. And what do I do? I jump in. And that's where we are. We're in this connected world. So now I've got AI following me around on my two wheels. Yeah, it's the future. I'm not a Luddite. (33:57) I'm trying to embrace it as much as I can. But I just don't want us to get ahead of our skis. We learned a lot of lessons about what the Internet and social media can do to society, to social circles, to families, to friends. And it seems like we should have learned a lesson. And we haven't. And AI started many, many years ago. (34:24) This latest revolution that is going on and evolution that is going on, this rapidly hit the streets about a year ago. And right now, the responses of regulation are happening. They're happening today. This didn't go on five years ago. It's after ChatGPT and OpenAI and BARD and Gemini and Q and Grok are all apart office assistants. (34:55) The chatbot that you were interacting with on Google, that's AI. That's a machine learning. You're not talking to Google. You're talking to software. Right? Think about it. That's crazy. And nobody is complaining about it. Nobody is stopping it. It's here, and now we've got to figure out a way to mold and be malleable and adapt because there's nothing we can do about it. (35:30) There's not much we can do. It's evolving so rapidly that it's something that is going to be very hard to avoid. Right now, you can kind of avoid it, but in the near future, that won't be the case. People are asking about Puck. Puck is home for the holidays. He went back to the Bridgewater Triangle to visit some family. (35:50) So he is not here, but he will be here for the new year. And Cindy, thank you for that. It says, I confirm that I am a real person. My AI version is at work. Honestly goals, Cindy, are you still making that money though? Are you keeping the funds? And by the way, this is the real me. And that is the real Christina. (36:10) We haven't quite, Hey, maybe one day we should try that. We should have AI versions of us and we can do a show and have them talk to each other. For the future, for 2024. And Sean, thank you for that as well. We'll just do it once. Just do it once. So I do want to bring in space into this, space advancements, things that have happened this year, and also things that will happen in 2024. (36:44) There's some really cool missions that are going to be happening. First thing I would like to mention is that NASA astronaut Frank Rubio is made history in 2023 by becoming the first American to spend a full year in space on board the International Space Station, the ISS. And he spent a total of 371 days in space, and he beat the record... (37:08) of 337 days by a Russian astronaut in 1994 to 1995. And then there was another one for 340 days by an American astronaut from 2015 and 2016. why is this relevant why is this important well first of all those that succumb to any length of time and space your body it just degrades your your your muscle your muscles your bones your eyesight as well there's a lot of health factors that take place when you're in zero gravity So for Frank Rubio to spend 371 days in space, yes, he did make an amazing record. (37:51) But we have to ask about what health effects and what consequences he has received since then. Okay, now let's take it a step further. Let's do it. What would happen... If a woman got pregnant in space and the baby develops in zero gravity, what happens? Because we've got millions of years of evolution based on one thing, the ground, right? The ground and gravity. (38:39) And what would happen? So, and it's going to happen eventually, and it will be a laboratory experiment at first, right? The testing and what changes in the genetics and is DNA altered? How is blood pumped through the circulatory system? How does the brain work if it is gestated in zero gravity? Think about that for a second. (39:12) So what pops out? what pops out. So when we talk about the effects of microgravity and zero gravity on humans, right, you get taller by a little bit and this happens and your muscles degrade and your bones aren't as strong and that's why they're constantly working out so they can mimic, you know, those efforts that happen on the surface of the earth. (39:40) But what would happen to a newborn baby if it goes to term nine months in space and then is born, right? And it's going to happen. It's going to happen. And there are medical professionals at NASA sitting around discussing this. Asking the real questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is going to happen. Now, there's a TV show called For All Mankind. (40:17) Everybody should go and watch it. It's on Apple TV. It's amazing. Watch every season. And I'm in the middle of the newest season now. But it's about the colonization of Mars. Eventually, that's this season. The first few seasons deal with the 60s and the 50s and the 60s and the 70s. But anyway, if you're living on Mars... (40:42) And cohabitating, you've got men, you've got women, you've got relationships, you've got things going on. So what would happen in that gravity environment, right? And the other things that are involved with the atmosphere and radiation, if you have a baby on Mars, how does DNA change? And are you a Martian? Right? Right. (41:11) Now think about what I, these are heavy. And we are planning on being on Mars like in five years. Five years. If Elon Musk has his way, we would have been there, you know, had his way, we would have been there last week. But that's where we are at. And these are fundamental, non-trivial questions that need to be answered. (41:38) They are non-trivial. It's something that needs to be addressed, honestly, as soon as possible. There have been some articles written, I believe it was by Science Alert or Science Daily, which are both really great online websites. But with those, they bring up that question because at some point it is going to happen and it will happen in the near future. (42:01) Because we are aware that the Artemis 2 mission will take place in 2024, where there will be four astronauts touching the surface of the moon yet again after, since what, like 1970-something? 72, 72. Jimmy, you drank your coffee today. You are on the flipping ball, all right? Okay, just bam, bam, bam. well okay so let's let's let's do i'm looking at the clock let's get let's go through some of these emissions that are planned for 2024 first up and one of the big ones and i keep going back to arthur c clark on this uh this is a big deal what i want to know which one you're going to talk about i'm excited europa clipper (42:50) I'm so excited for that one. Big, big deal. NASA's Europa Clipper will conduct a detailed reconnaissance of Jupiter's moon Europa and investigate whether the icy moon could have conditions suitable for life. Its launch date—everything is happening, by the way, it seems like, in the fourth quarter of 2024— Launch date of October 2024. (43:14) This goes right back to Arthur C. Clarke, 2001, A Space Odyssey, Jupiter, 2010, the year we make contact, also by Arthur C. Clarke, all dealing with Europa. And so we get a message back from E.T. that says, all of the universe is yours to explore. Europa is ours. Leave Europa alone. And how far back that goes and the prediction of Europa. (43:50) And that's it. This is finally happening in October of 2024. This is a big deal. Oh, it is. And it's so exciting. And for those that aren't familiar with Europa, don't worry.
