Speaker 1 (00:06):
On today's Fact of the Day of the week, Vaughan
blasts off with a week of space facts. It's time
for Fact of the day. Day day day day.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
do do.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Today to the day. This week's Fact of the Day
theme is space.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
The recent.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Not to space.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I've said it, I'd go on one of those. I
would never even go give it five years. I'd rather
go on one of the space trips in that submarine
to the Titanic, the new one that they want to do,
not the one that was cause what would go wrong
with an Xbox controller.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Wrong?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Both would be scary?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yuck? Why are you doing that? Today's space Fact of
the day, because the scale of space is going to
be a common occurrence in the sweeks Fact of the day.
Scale of space incomprehensible. It makes me would be genuinely sick.
When you're a kid and you're looking at a diagram
of the solo, Yeah, of the Solar System, you're cutting rapple.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's actually call what he's doing. It is wildly so.
Isn't that making us making his apple cut.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
He's always take a little bi yeah, yeah, or if
I don't have an arm, like literally plays a game
while we're on here, I have play the.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Game the Wi Fi? What have the access the game
on the Wi Fi? Disengaged? I have to disengage Wi Fi?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh my god. Anyway, the International Space Station orbits two
hundred and twenty miles above Earth and kilometers times out
by one point six.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Excuse me for a moment.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Sort of feel like you're it's your fact of the day.
You know you you times by one point sir? Two
hundred and fifty kilometers straight up? Okay, okay, so that's
ten times. Because how high do commercial airliones fly? They
pay thirty What do we do it themeters? Yeah, yeah,
it's ten kilometers up, so you know, put that into perspective.
It's three hundred and fifty kilometers around the Earth. Now,
(02:24):
to put that into perspective, if the Earth was the
size of a basketball, Yeah, how far off the surface
of the basketball do you think the space station would
be at the hope?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
What did you?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And that's I don't know that I've got a small basketball,
but yeah, imagine a standard sized basketball. Wellington off that
not Wellington. What are you talking about Wellington? He's asking
the questions. Understand poling it. Yeah, if the earth was
basketball size, how far off that basketball you want to
SKay station be for thirty centimeters? Thirty s Your guess
(03:00):
is thirty centimeters a meter it would be a meter
a meter off for standard basketball. You think the space
station is a meter off ning it would be one
hundred meters, and one.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Hundred meters off. You're getting further from the tree.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
To one hundred meters. I'm panicking too. I have not
You've said them. You've seen the pictures, right, it's miles.
You've seen the pictures on the stations. Seven millimeters from
a basketball, seven millimeters the size of a basketball, it
would be like less than your fingers width off going around?
(03:37):
Why did you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Encourage me to go higher?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It was more more you said, you said thirty centimeters,
and I said thirty centimeters, and then you said you
And then you said a bit of a preck for that,
like you, I said a meter, and you're like.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Then I went on Wellington far away, and then you
looks always exactly here. This is something that you could
pick up a basketball. Okay, so next time you pick
up a basketball, say, do you know if this is
the Earth the space station to be rotated, it would
be orbiting that far off. And if the Earth is
a basketball, how far away is the moon? I don't
(04:16):
have that statistic right here?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Why everything I do?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
If the Earth was a basketball, how far away away
would the moon be? Take the stringer to take me
as you have students at the basketball and the tennis ball.
Each take one end of the string and walk apart
until the string is at its full length. It's in
feet again. It's in feet again, twenty three and a
half feet and meters seven point one meters away. Seven
(04:50):
point one was a basketball and the moon was a
tennis ball, they'd be seven meters apart. Soone just a
missus saying God. They complained about having too much info
last week. That's not enough. That never happy you test out.
I'm trying to make this as simple as possible for
these two.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'll say it more.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So okay for space way to recap for spaceway. Earth
was the size of a basketball, which it's not, which
it's not. Well scale wise, if you if you held
a basketball and you were on.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Maybe if you were on the Moon and you had
a basketball in arms length, the Earth would look the same.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Sign the International Space is what wouldn't Jordan?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
The Aliens from space space they can via the moon.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So if the Earth was the size of a basketball,
the International Space Station would be about your little fingers
went off going around, and the Moon would be seven
meters away. Okay, that's far. Wasn't that hard just to
get that moon fact?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I added in the moon fact? Yeah, I think, And
that's how good I am. Just on the fly life
and Hailey.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
This week here at Fact of the Day, it's space
week instrument influence. I'd say by a recent trip I undertook. Okay,
find out more soon.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
To space not did you say find out more soon?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Find out more so? And I said, stay, stay changed.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You've got me, You've got today's fact of the day.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
This pickled my little brain, blew my mind.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, the moon is not spherical. No, it's not ex fact,
I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It's not a rugby ball. Is that it is?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He's gonna sit here and tell us the moon's a triangle.
The moon is typically known as an oblate spheroid. Oh, Okay,
I'm here holding this is this is very actually very timely.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'm holding a little miniature basketball. Yeah, I'm squeezing it
from top and bottom.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's not like that the moon.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
To see it, the moon is egg shaped, some described
as lemon shaped.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
But this squatty egg, then it is the problem and
we see it sphericle.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You imagine you're holding an egg upright, like it sits
in the tray, and you're like, that's egg shaped. Now
turn it on its end so you can only see
it from the end that thats around around this sort
of circumpany you're seeing it from the angle you're seeing
and the end that points towards the Earth is a
little fatter. Oh yeah, you know how the egg has
a skinny in and around the end. So we're looking
(07:42):
shaped is it because a little bit it's not huge,
but it certainly isn't spherical, So it's not shaped like
an egg. It's thought because when it first formed and
it was like just on of this big ball of
liquid molten goo, and the gravity of the Earth pulled
it a little bit out of We've got the fatter
end facing us like a vacuum. Yeah, yeah, I've googled it,
(08:05):
and NASA is saying the same thing as Vorn. I'll
google it. I hope you just didn't think I plucked
this from just my own thoughts and preyers.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I did. I didn't know if you were getting it
from space authority.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I didn't know if you were getting it from your
communities and message boards and Facebook that you get a
lot of your information from perfect sphere, they say in
perfect sphere, Yeah, I can see like an and you
know also, it's twenty five percent the size of Earth. Yeah,
the like you could fit four moons across our equator.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, it's equator.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Some astronomers believe that that makes it close enough to
our size.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
We could be considered the double planet.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Rather than a planet with a satellite moon an orbiting satellite. Okay,
should we be moving to the moon. Sort of feels
better than a great hurry to move to the moon. No,
I'll be gone by then, not until there's good wife.
Socially starling will be even better up there, because the
(09:04):
satellites are porting towards Earth, and they way closer to Earth,
and they are the moon, are they?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I sort of imagine they were in space. Yeah, right
out there, right out there near.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
The moon, like you could be on Mars and just
pick up two bars. Yeah, yeah, yeah, two bars is
all you need. Yeah, that's all you need.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It depends on if I'm sending a video, I prefer
more bars bars. I will send a picture. Yeah. Fun
recently brought a new couple of outlets, mesh to mesh
my wife beautiful, fantastic John. Maybe we just need one
of those International Space Station just to mesh it back
to your account because I'm on unlimited by all means, please,
(09:43):
you need to get another account unlimited. So today's back
to the day is that the moon is not spherical.
Play play.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
The fact of the day is you brat.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Stop you stop to be nicety, brother, Please be nicety brother.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We'll both be in trouble. I just push this cup
over being a brat.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And bt brats don't make.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
A rat gandy a brat for a brat leaves the
whole world. Brat. Yeah, okay, put.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That on a bratt hat back brat, brad, brat, brat
gandhy brat brett gandy brat. And when you say put
it on a horse, people don't know that we're making
a horse calendar.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The people are well aware with motivation. Fly at the
door with motivational quotes on horses. He has been two
this morning. I can't remember what the first one was.
It's space week here at fact of the day, influenced
by recent trip.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You've been for a coy.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
About this recent coy, he's mysterious. He's a mystery. Will
you be revealing more about the mystery trip? You're damn right?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Okay, s a little sausage, stay tell little space sausage.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Will you beg space sausage today?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
What you're a big space sausage? Ah, you're a big
space sausage. Today is about the smell of space. Oh,
the different horomas you would smell in space because Smeller
and Jasmin.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
What a wonderful combination.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Oh it's gonna be sweet. It's going to be a
French peer, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So in space. If you'll both just shut your faces
for a moment, I will explain to you.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And a vacuum a period time of the monther is
you say remember that? I bet people still say it
all the time. Just not your echo chamber of left
wing libtail right right.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Right us here at the old right not afraid to
say it. Yeah, not afraid to say it. Call out
a woman for hermod's on a period.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And to it's nice working with you anyway, we're having
fun here. The smell of smell doesn't work in a
vacuum like sound. Sound doesn't travel in a bit. If
you find it in your suit and your suit you're
not in the vacuum you're in as environment chamber.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But in space it doesn't. But when you've been out
on a space walk and you go back into the
International Space Station or what do you smell?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You you can smell the environment you've just been in.
What it would be like being outside when there's a
fire and you go inside. You couldn't smell it outside,
but then you get inside you can. It's in a
kitchen and you can smell the oil on your clothes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, So they've done some because basically fragrance is just
basically a mix of chemicals, and it's how your olfactory sensors,
it is, the smell sensors, the aroma perception sensors breaks
it down. So what they do is they get a
mix of these exact chemicals and then they put them
together and like this is what space smells like the
Milky Way, yep, smells of rum, raspberries and booze.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What the Milky Way?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You know, if you look up into the sky and
you can see the Milky Way, they're broken down what
it's made of, and it's packed full of a chemical
niners ethyl format, which has a couple of intriguing properties.
It's responsible for giving raspberries their flavor yum and rum
its smell. I quite like the smell of rum. It's
a nice smell on a nicket to impact. Do you
think that the Milky Way could have just sucked up
(13:23):
a pirate ship back in the day and that's why
it's raspberry meditation?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Nope, I don't think so. I think you're being replaced.
Explain that. I think you're being ridiculous. Ah, wow, someone's
on their period. Who's been to the Milky Way?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Here? Not born.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
That's reached out to meager ingredients to recreate the.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Odor for training simulations. It brings back atmosphere examples of
the moon. For example, they did the smell of the moon,
they said, and they compared it to gunpowder, and that
all checks out because things.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Found on the Moon.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No atmosphere, but just the space of the mechemical formula
like space.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Rock or dust from the moon landing. Yes, sniff, give
that a sniff.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I never thought about it, fat snuff because I smelled
because I just imagine, you know, like you sniff pum us. Yeah,
it doesn't really have a smell once you leave the galaxy.
Apparently there's dark pockets of the universe. Some smell a
sweet sugar and the other of a rotten egg stench
of sulfur.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
As that's quite present in the galaxy.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And if you went on for a space walk in
the International Space Station and you come back, and often
you would smell burnt or fried steak.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You can smell cooked meat with an egg fried egg
as well with.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It, or a red wine Joe sort of situation with
a gratar more of a red joe one lovely pathetic gratar.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And then you get back to the International Space that
you can get inside and then you can't have a
a dehydrated milk moleed up the pouch.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah. So today's fact of the day the day, by
the way, I liked this, Yeah, really good from you,
thank you, is that the milky way, smells of rum,
raspberries and.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Booze plays Fable and Hailey.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Today's are fact of the day. It's space week. You're
effected of the day.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Loving it, influenced by a recent tripne to find out
more soon.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I like that the space facts Today's fact.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
How much gravity do you think there is on the
International Space Station Earth?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Gravity?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I don't know gravity works.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I don't feel confident enough to be.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I mean, here's a concise seem to explain how gravity works.
You see them floating around, so obviously there's it's less's gravity.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, seventy five Earth wouldn't float.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Around that much, you'd just be a bit more buoyant.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, it's actually ninety percent of Earth's gravity. Suck it.
But you're right, they float around, And how does that
work of it? Zero gravity?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, it's because they are falling like a skydiver free falling. Yeah,
they fall of that orbiting so they're falling and go
moving sideways at a rate that it gives the appearance
of zero gravity.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Even though it's nine of Earth's gravity.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Does it just feel like you know when a plane
does a sudden turn and you can actually feel the
g's and you try to lift your leg and you
can't Jesus what you feel in the acceleration tour point, right,
So when they take off from Earth and they're in
the space and they're like a stuck to this set and.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You're getting up there place explode place.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, but then to dock with the International Space Station,
they've got to be going the same speed as it.
So they did all the hard work leaving Earth, and
once they're on it, they can't feel the acceleration, and
the constant speed just feels like constant speed to it,
like how we can't feel the Earth spinning. So it's
like when skydivers are free falling and they can just
spin around and it gives the appearance that weightless, but
everything's moving around them.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Whereas these guys are insider.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You know. If they want to replicate zero gravity, they
take you up on that big plane and then they
just dive that plane down.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's effectively that way.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
The International Space Station of sideways and falls towards woods
Earth and the horizon curves away beneath it at the
same rate. So it means it's orbiting around given the
appearance of zero gravity, but it's got nine gravity in there.
So today's fact of the day is that the International
Space Station is not zero gravity. Play Flitchborne and Haley,
(17:29):
We've got Belgium biscuit. Belgian biscuit made me very very celebrit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Outer the celebri. It made me very salibrary very.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm full of saliva.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Good.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I like it better than.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
A dry mouth.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well, it's some space week here at Fact of the day,
loving so much more than calendar wet. This has been
inspired as well as you a recent trip that you've taken,
serious reason trip, and I believe we will find out
more about this.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You'll find out next week. Okay, Well, today's Fact of
the day is about this. This stars. Okay, the stars?
The stars?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Is it in honor of the full moon, the solstice
and Matariki coming up? He hadn't thought of any of those,
but that is a happy coincidence that I'm willing to say, Yeah, absolutely,
that's what I was thinking of when I was sent
this fact by Neve. Do you want to know how
many stars are estimated to exist? Neve Gayford, Neive gay Clark,
(18:35):
what is not the old Prime Minister's daughter? There are
one the old Prime minister, former former Prime minister, former
prime Minister's dader. There are one siptillian stars Septilia sept
and that is one, followed by twenty four zeros.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
And that's just stars.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
That's not planets, that's just the stars that planets go
around here. I was trying to become a billionaire.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, you need to become a six is so much.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Well. Our our closest star is, of course, the Sun,
and Stanford University did some recent calculations that says every
second our Sun loses four point seven million tons of
mass as energy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We're getting small initially going to itself out, but it's
a long while.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Often does it lose that every second four point million
shred and keto. It's classes intimate, it faster, fast thing,
it's everything. It's not pointing, it's not taking on any
mass because it's not hungry because.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Of how long, how long we got Well put it
this way, we'll have destroyed this earth well before it think.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Because I was like, we're gonna have to shunt the
Earth towards a new star. Nah, we all just went
like that, two massive rockets on each side.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, be so loud, Yeah it would be, but you know,
bloods yep, yeah, easy to go to sleep too, because
the sun has gone out, soide's dark, so cold, little
be noisy and dark.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And lifelong sleep. I think of that will be long.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
It will be the long sleep. So today's fact of
the days, our sun is losing four points even million
tons of mass as energy every second fat of the day,
day day day day. Yeah, doo do dooop doo doo
(20:40):
dooo do oh did you tell me there was tons?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
There was my ton to TuS.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Hey, guys, I reckon it was the most fun to
be the head on a show.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Not not for me. I don't know where even nowhere,
even you're given in here long have you no? I
haven't no.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You were listening and you had fun. Won't you give
us a little review in a rating? Sid M's flitch

Play split Born and Haley.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
On today's Fact of the Day of the week, Vaughan
blasts off with a week of space facts. It's time
for Fact of the day. Day day day day.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do
do do.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Today to the day. This week's Fact of the Day
theme is space.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
The recent.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Not to space.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I've said it, I'd go on one of those. I
would never even go give it five years. I'd rather
go on one of the space trips in that submarine
to the Titanic, the new one that they want to do,
not the one that was cause what would go wrong
with an Xbox controller.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Wrong?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Both would be scary?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yuck? Why are you doing that? Today's space Fact of
the day, because the scale of space is going to
be a common occurrence in the sweeks Fact of the day.
Scale of space incomprehensible. It makes me would be genuinely sick.
When you're a kid and you're looking at a diagram
of the solo, Yeah, of the Solar System, you're cutting rapple.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's actually call what he's doing. It is wildly so.
Isn't that making us making his apple cut.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
He's always take a little bi yeah, yeah, or if
I don't have an arm, like literally plays a game
while we're on here, I have play the.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Game the Wi Fi? What have the access the game
on the Wi Fi? Disengaged? I have to disengage Wi Fi?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh my god. Anyway, the International Space Station orbits two
hundred and twenty miles above Earth and kilometers times out
by one point six.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Excuse me for a moment.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Sort of feel like you're it's your fact of the day.
You know you you times by one point sir? Two
hundred and fifty kilometers straight up? Okay, okay, so that's
ten times. Because how high do commercial airliones fly? They
pay thirty What do we do it themeters? Yeah, yeah,
it's ten kilometers up, so you know, put that into perspective.
It's three hundred and fifty kilometers around the Earth. Now,
(02:24):
to put that into perspective, if the Earth was the
size of a basketball, Yeah, how far off the surface
of the basketball do you think the space station would
be at the hope?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
What did you?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And that's I don't know that I've got a small basketball,
but yeah, imagine a standard sized basketball. Wellington off that
not Wellington. What are you talking about Wellington? He's asking
the questions. Understand poling it. Yeah, if the earth was
basketball size, how far off that basketball you want to
SKay station be for thirty centimeters? Thirty s Your guess
(03:00):
is thirty centimeters a meter it would be a meter
a meter off for standard basketball. You think the space
station is a meter off ning it would be one
hundred meters, and one.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Hundred meters off. You're getting further from the tree.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
To one hundred meters. I'm panicking too. I have not
You've said them. You've seen the pictures, right, it's miles.
You've seen the pictures on the stations. Seven millimeters from
a basketball, seven millimeters the size of a basketball, it
would be like less than your fingers width off going around?
(03:37):
Why did you.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Encourage me to go higher?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It was more more you said, you said thirty centimeters,
and I said thirty centimeters, and then you said you
And then you said a bit of a preck for that,
like you, I said a meter, and you're like.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
So.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Then I went on Wellington far away, and then you
looks always exactly here. This is something that you could
pick up a basketball. Okay, so next time you pick
up a basketball, say, do you know if this is
the Earth the space station to be rotated, it would
be orbiting that far off. And if the Earth is
a basketball, how far away is the moon? I don't
(04:16):
have that statistic right here?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Why everything I do?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
If the Earth was a basketball, how far away away
would the moon be? Take the stringer to take me
as you have students at the basketball and the tennis ball.
Each take one end of the string and walk apart
until the string is at its full length. It's in
feet again. It's in feet again, twenty three and a
half feet and meters seven point one meters away. Seven
(04:50):
point one was a basketball and the moon was a
tennis ball, they'd be seven meters apart. Soone just a
missus saying God. They complained about having too much info
last week. That's not enough. That never happy you test out.
I'm trying to make this as simple as possible for
these two.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'll say it more.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So okay for space way to recap for spaceway. Earth
was the size of a basketball, which it's not, which
it's not. Well scale wise, if you if you held
a basketball and you were on.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Maybe if you were on the Moon and you had
a basketball in arms length, the Earth would look the same.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Sign the International Space is what wouldn't Jordan?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
The Aliens from space space they can via the moon.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
So if the Earth was the size of a basketball,
the International Space Station would be about your little fingers
went off going around, and the Moon would be seven
meters away. Okay, that's far. Wasn't that hard just to
get that moon fact?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I added in the moon fact? Yeah, I think, And
that's how good I am. Just on the fly life
and Hailey.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
This week here at Fact of the Day, it's space
week instrument influence. I'd say by a recent trip I undertook. Okay,
find out more soon.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
To space not did you say find out more soon?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Find out more so? And I said, stay, stay changed.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You've got me, You've got today's fact of the day.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
This pickled my little brain, blew my mind.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, the moon is not spherical. No, it's not ex fact,
I've seen it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It's not a rugby ball. Is that it is?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He's gonna sit here and tell us the moon's a triangle.
The moon is typically known as an oblate spheroid. Oh, Okay,
I'm here holding this is this is very actually very timely.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'm holding a little miniature basketball. Yeah, I'm squeezing it
from top and bottom.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's not like that the moon.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
To see it, the moon is egg shaped, some described
as lemon shaped.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
But this squatty egg, then it is the problem and
we see it sphericle.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You imagine you're holding an egg upright, like it sits
in the tray, and you're like, that's egg shaped. Now
turn it on its end so you can only see
it from the end that thats around around this sort
of circumpany you're seeing it from the angle you're seeing
and the end that points towards the Earth is a
little fatter. Oh yeah, you know how the egg has
a skinny in and around the end. So we're looking
(07:42):
shaped is it because a little bit it's not huge,
but it certainly isn't spherical, So it's not shaped like
an egg. It's thought because when it first formed and
it was like just on of this big ball of
liquid molten goo, and the gravity of the Earth pulled
it a little bit out of We've got the fatter
end facing us like a vacuum. Yeah, yeah, I've googled it,
(08:05):
and NASA is saying the same thing as Vorn. I'll
google it. I hope you just didn't think I plucked
this from just my own thoughts and preyers.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I did. I didn't know if you were getting it
from space authority.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I didn't know if you were getting it from your
communities and message boards and Facebook that you get a
lot of your information from perfect sphere, they say in
perfect sphere, Yeah, I can see like an and you
know also, it's twenty five percent the size of Earth. Yeah,
the like you could fit four moons across our equator.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, it's equator.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Some astronomers believe that that makes it close enough to
our size.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
We could be considered the double planet.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Rather than a planet with a satellite moon an orbiting satellite. Okay,
should we be moving to the moon. Sort of feels
better than a great hurry to move to the moon. No,
I'll be gone by then, not until there's good wife.
Socially starling will be even better up there, because the
(09:04):
satellites are porting towards Earth, and they way closer to Earth,
and they are the moon, are they?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I sort of imagine they were in space. Yeah, right
out there, right out there near.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
The moon, like you could be on Mars and just
pick up two bars. Yeah, yeah, yeah, two bars is
all you need. Yeah, that's all you need.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It depends on if I'm sending a video, I prefer
more bars bars. I will send a picture. Yeah. Fun
recently brought a new couple of outlets, mesh to mesh
my wife beautiful, fantastic John. Maybe we just need one
of those International Space Station just to mesh it back
to your account because I'm on unlimited by all means, please,
(09:43):
you need to get another account unlimited. So today's back
to the day is that the moon is not spherical.
Play play.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
The fact of the day is you brat.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Stop you stop to be nicety, brother, Please be nicety brother.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We'll both be in trouble. I just push this cup
over being a brat.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And bt brats don't make.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
A rat gandy a brat for a brat leaves the
whole world. Brat. Yeah, okay, put.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
That on a bratt hat back brat, brad, brat, brat
gandhy brat brett gandy brat. And when you say put
it on a horse, people don't know that we're making
a horse calendar.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The people are well aware with motivation. Fly at the
door with motivational quotes on horses. He has been two
this morning. I can't remember what the first one was.
It's space week here at fact of the day, influenced
by recent trip.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You've been for a coy.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
About this recent coy, he's mysterious. He's a mystery. Will
you be revealing more about the mystery trip? You're damn right?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Okay, s a little sausage, stay tell little space sausage.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Will you beg space sausage today?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
What you're a big space sausage? Ah, you're a big
space sausage. Today is about the smell of space. Oh,
the different horomas you would smell in space because Smeller
and Jasmin.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
What a wonderful combination.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Oh it's gonna be sweet. It's going to be a
French peer, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So in space. If you'll both just shut your faces
for a moment, I will explain to you.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And a vacuum a period time of the monther is
you say remember that? I bet people still say it
all the time. Just not your echo chamber of left
wing libtail right right.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Right us here at the old right not afraid to
say it. Yeah, not afraid to say it. Call out
a woman for hermod's on a period.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And to it's nice working with you anyway, we're having
fun here. The smell of smell doesn't work in a
vacuum like sound. Sound doesn't travel in a bit. If
you find it in your suit and your suit you're
not in the vacuum you're in as environment chamber.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
But in space it doesn't. But when you've been out
on a space walk and you go back into the
International Space Station or what do you smell?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
You you can smell the environment you've just been in.
What it would be like being outside when there's a
fire and you go inside. You couldn't smell it outside,
but then you get inside you can. It's in a
kitchen and you can smell the oil on your clothes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, So they've done some because basically fragrance is just
basically a mix of chemicals, and it's how your olfactory sensors,
it is, the smell sensors, the aroma perception sensors breaks
it down. So what they do is they get a
mix of these exact chemicals and then they put them
together and like this is what space smells like the
Milky Way, yep, smells of rum, raspberries and booze.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What the Milky Way?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You know, if you look up into the sky and
you can see the Milky Way, they're broken down what
it's made of, and it's packed full of a chemical
niners ethyl format, which has a couple of intriguing properties.
It's responsible for giving raspberries their flavor yum and rum
its smell. I quite like the smell of rum. It's
a nice smell on a nicket to impact. Do you
think that the Milky Way could have just sucked up
(13:23):
a pirate ship back in the day and that's why
it's raspberry meditation?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Nope, I don't think so. I think you're being replaced.
Explain that. I think you're being ridiculous. Ah, wow, someone's
on their period. Who's been to the Milky Way?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Here? Not born.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
That's reached out to meager ingredients to recreate the.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Odor for training simulations. It brings back atmosphere examples of
the moon. For example, they did the smell of the moon,
they said, and they compared it to gunpowder, and that
all checks out because things.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Found on the Moon.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
No atmosphere, but just the space of the mechemical formula
like space.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Rock or dust from the moon landing. Yes, sniff, give
that a sniff.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I never thought about it, fat snuff because I smelled
because I just imagine, you know, like you sniff pum us. Yeah,
it doesn't really have a smell once you leave the galaxy.
Apparently there's dark pockets of the universe. Some smell a
sweet sugar and the other of a rotten egg stench
of sulfur.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
As that's quite present in the galaxy.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And if you went on for a space walk in
the International Space Station and you come back, and often
you would smell burnt or fried steak.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You can smell cooked meat with an egg fried egg
as well with.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It, or a red wine Joe sort of situation with
a gratar more of a red joe one lovely pathetic gratar.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And then you get back to the International Space that
you can get inside and then you can't have a
a dehydrated milk moleed up the pouch.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah. So today's fact of the day the day, by
the way, I liked this, Yeah, really good from you,
thank you, is that the milky way, smells of rum,
raspberries and.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Booze plays Fable and Hailey.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Today's are fact of the day. It's space week. You're
effected of the day.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Loving it, influenced by a recent tripne to find out
more soon.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I like that the space facts Today's fact.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
How much gravity do you think there is on the
International Space Station Earth?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Gravity?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I don't know gravity works.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I don't feel confident enough to be.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I mean, here's a concise seem to explain how gravity works.
You see them floating around, so obviously there's it's less's gravity.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Yeah, seventy five Earth wouldn't float.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Around that much, you'd just be a bit more buoyant.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, it's actually ninety percent of Earth's gravity. Suck it.
But you're right, they float around, And how does that
work of it? Zero gravity?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, it's because they are falling like a skydiver free falling. Yeah,
they fall of that orbiting so they're falling and go
moving sideways at a rate that it gives the appearance
of zero gravity.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Even though it's nine of Earth's gravity.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Does it just feel like you know when a plane
does a sudden turn and you can actually feel the
g's and you try to lift your leg and you
can't Jesus what you feel in the acceleration tour point, right,
So when they take off from Earth and they're in
the space and they're like a stuck to this set and.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
You're getting up there place explode place.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, but then to dock with the International Space Station,
they've got to be going the same speed as it.
So they did all the hard work leaving Earth, and
once they're on it, they can't feel the acceleration, and
the constant speed just feels like constant speed to it,
like how we can't feel the Earth spinning. So it's
like when skydivers are free falling and they can just
spin around and it gives the appearance that weightless, but
everything's moving around them.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Whereas these guys are insider.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You know. If they want to replicate zero gravity, they
take you up on that big plane and then they
just dive that plane down.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's effectively that way.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
The International Space Station of sideways and falls towards woods
Earth and the horizon curves away beneath it at the
same rate. So it means it's orbiting around given the
appearance of zero gravity, but it's got nine gravity in there.
So today's fact of the day is that the International
Space Station is not zero gravity. Play Flitchborne and Haley,
(17:29):
We've got Belgium biscuit. Belgian biscuit made me very very celebrit.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Outer the celebri. It made me very salibrary very.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I'm full of saliva.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Good.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I like it better than.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
A dry mouth.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well, it's some space week here at Fact of the day,
loving so much more than calendar wet. This has been
inspired as well as you a recent trip that you've taken,
serious reason trip, and I believe we will find out
more about this.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You'll find out next week. Okay, Well, today's Fact of
the day is about this. This stars. Okay, the stars?
The stars?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Is it in honor of the full moon, the solstice
and Matariki coming up? He hadn't thought of any of those,
but that is a happy coincidence that I'm willing to say, Yeah, absolutely,
that's what I was thinking of when I was sent
this fact by Neve. Do you want to know how
many stars are estimated to exist? Neve Gayford, Neive gay Clark,
(18:35):
what is not the old Prime Minister's daughter? There are
one the old Prime minister, former former Prime minister, former
prime Minister's dader. There are one siptillian stars Septilia sept
and that is one, followed by twenty four zeros.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
And that's just stars.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
That's not planets, that's just the stars that planets go
around here. I was trying to become a billionaire.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, you need to become a six is so much.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Well. Our our closest star is, of course, the Sun,
and Stanford University did some recent calculations that says every
second our Sun loses four point seven million tons of
mass as energy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We're getting small initially going to itself out, but it's
a long while.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Often does it lose that every second four point million
shred and keto. It's classes intimate, it faster, fast thing,
it's everything. It's not pointing, it's not taking on any
mass because it's not hungry because.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Of how long, how long we got Well put it
this way, we'll have destroyed this earth well before it think.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Because I was like, we're gonna have to shunt the
Earth towards a new star. Nah, we all just went
like that, two massive rockets on each side.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, be so loud, Yeah it would be, but you know,
bloods yep, yeah, easy to go to sleep too, because
the sun has gone out, soide's dark, so cold, little
be noisy and dark.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And lifelong sleep. I think of that will be long.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
It will be the long sleep. So today's fact of
the days, our sun is losing four points even million
tons of mass as energy every second fat of the day,
day day day day. Yeah, doo do dooop doo doo
(20:40):
dooo do oh did you tell me there was tons?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
There was my ton to TuS.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Hey, guys, I reckon it was the most fun to
be the head on a show.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Not not for me. I don't know where even nowhere,
even you're given in here long have you no? I
haven't no.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
You were listening and you had fun. Won't you give
us a little review in a rating? Sid M's flitch
