Speaker 1 (00:03):
Alright, Maxy, this is it. This time we get to
do the intro. But I'm super nervous. You know what,
You're right, Maxi. We just have to do what Emily
always does when each episode of Growing Up starts. Welcome
to Growing Up, a lingo kids podcast that helps kids
(00:25):
discover how to be yess whatever they want to be.
Thanks Maxy. In this final episode of season three, we'll
be talking to none other than drum roll. Please Emily
callench relly. Yep, that's our Emily. She just got back
(00:50):
from space. So we're going on a time travel adventure
and we're gonna see what it takes to be a
real life astronaut. Ready to take off, Maxi, let's go. Okay, Maxie,
(01:24):
I just finished setting up this amazing telescope. I just
love storry nights at the local park. We can see
all of the night sky. I mean, how cool is that? Oh?
If you look through a telescope, you can see very
very far away, Maxie, like the Moon far away. You know,
there's a dwarf planet called Pluto, just like Pluto the Dog.
(01:47):
I'd love to go to space one day too, Houston.
We're fast approaching the Maxi planet, Nope, it's not a
big planet. That's just the name.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Louise Maxie by Emily. Oh, few, good thing I found you.
I have something to tell you both.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Oh, I know you brought your own telescope.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Nope, but I have been looking at the sky a
lot for another reason.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh why is that, Emily? Wait, did you see any
aliens flying by?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No? No aliens. I just got invited to be a
part of a space mission.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
What like an astronaut, A real astronaut.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's right, a person who goes to space.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Wow, I can't believe it. MAXI look through the telescope, Emily,
will go up there see where all the stars are.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And is that what you always wanted to do? I mean,
who doesn't want to go to space? But really, did
you always want to be an astronaut? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, back when I was your age, I was more
of an art person, and I also loved math. But
I actually started dreaming about going to space when I
was older.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Oh that's cool. I've always wondered if there's life out
there in space, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, people have been wondering about that for centuries. Is
there anyone else out there? Are we alone in the universe?
Are there alien astronauts?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
What else do astronauts do, Emily?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, some astronauts work at the International Space Station, which
is a very important research space station in space, and
others just want to see Earth from above.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Why did they pick you to go on that space mission?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You know, Louise, I've been learning and talking about space
and science and doing science experiments for like ever. That's
how I actually earned a spot to go on this
space mission. And guess what, I could be the one
hundredth woman in space history.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Emily. And where are you going? I have to get
popcorn ready to see your flight.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh that's a good question, Louise, because I'm still not
sure if I'll be going.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Wait what? I can't believe it?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Why, Louise, I have so many things to do here
back on Earth. There's my family, my job, there's growing up.
I mean, I can't just jump off to space anytime
I like.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But it's still worth it, Emily, How can I convince
you to go? What's that? Maxy? Huh? That's a great
idea to get Emily to go to space, Maxie, good boy,
let's grabically go forward cube. Emily. We have a game
show to.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Host wait where right now with who?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
And you'll see Just follow me? Who? Okay, Emily?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
All good, Louise, just struck by this beautiful backyard. Hold
on a sec. I've been here before.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yep, we're in West Virginia, USA, more than thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Let's go through the back door.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Come on, wait, Louise, I I remember this house. I
used to live here when I was Hi there, Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Hi there, you must be me. You're me.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You're Emily. I am Emily and I'm seven years old.
Hi sweetie?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And who are you?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Guys? I'm Louise, Hi Louise, and well I'm Emily too,
I'm you from the future.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You're me?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And why did you come all the way here? Well,
we came all the way from the future to to
play a game.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I call it the astro Show.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What that's a silly name.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh trust me, you're gonna love it. Here's how it works.
I'll ask you short questions about astronauts and space exploration.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But I don't know much about space. I like drawing.
Oh I've learned a lot about space over the years,
so no worries. I'll help you out. Oh okay, cool?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
If you win, you get infinite bragging rights.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Okay, I'm so in.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
All right, ready let the astro show begin. First question,
what is a space burp?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh? Hmm, A space burp sounds like burping fire, like
rockets do. Well. You see, people can burp here on
Earth because gravity helps keep things in your belly while
taking the gas up and out. In space, there's no gravity,
(07:24):
So if you burpen space, basically your lunch goes up
with it and all over the place.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Ew.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's gross, but kind of funny, too true.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Okay, you got it right yo. Now question number two,
who was the first woman to go to space?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh? I'm pretty sure it was Mary Mars. That's a
cute name for a woman astronaut. But the answer is
that Valentina Terrishkova terrish Kova.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yep, she flew in nineteen sixty three, and you know what,
she spent three whole days orbiting Earth all alone. She
did it on a spacecraft called Vostok six.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
WHOA, I didn't know that. I want to hear more
about her. You're doing a great job, kiddo.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, and this is fun too. All right. Final question,
would you ever want to go to space?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah? I want to too. I want to see the
Earth from above. I wonder what it would look like.
Is it really blue or is it green like a
giant forest? Can we see the clouds from way up there?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I want to go? Oh, I think i'd like that too.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I have a bone question, little Emily. Do you know
who's gonna be the one hundredth women to go to space?
How did I know that?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I'm not from the future?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, what if I told you you'll be the one
hundredth woman to go to space?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Me?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes, you Emily?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh wow, I'd I'd make history.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'd love that. Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I don't know about you, Louise, but this is officially
the most inspiring game show I've ever been to. So
did I win?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Well, of course you did.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Did I get infinite ragging rights? You're gonna do amazing things?
You know that, kiddo? You really think?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're gonna go to space, Dear Emily.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So Emily, are you ready to fly off? Now? You sure?
I am?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Louis. Little Emily inspired me so much? So you want
me to be your very special guest on our talk show?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Then for sure, Emily, as soon as you come back
from a mission.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh, I'm honored. And how do you feel about doing
your first ever talk show by yourself?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh? A little nervous, Emily.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You've learned so much during this season, Louise, I know
you can do it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, you're right. As long as I'm with Maxie, it'll
be okay.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Shall we go back to the present, then let's go
thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
After Louis and Emily's time travel game show, the most
special day in Emily's life finally arrives.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
And now we're just five minutes away from the launch
of the NS twenty eighth mission. The crew is secured
in their seats and final systems checks are underway. Bye
Paul three two one, and we have a lift of
(11:10):
a historic moment that Emily begins her journey beyond Earth.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And so Luis gets ready to host his first talk
show ever.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, Maxy, this is it my first talk show solo ever.
You're right, Maxy, A good night always faces great challenges.
I can do it for Emily. Here we go. Hi, everyone,
welcome to our very last talk show for this season.
(11:50):
Let's give the warmest of welcomes to Emily Calinrelly, who
just came back from a space mission. Only on this
talk show you'll get to hear from a real astronaut
what it's like to see our big, beautiful Earth all
the way from outer space. So get ready. This is
gonna be out of this world. Oh thanks everyone, Welcome Emily. Wow.
(12:18):
The spacesuit you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It is, Louise. See, it's all blue, and it has
my name sits on the top right. And then we
have our mission patch on.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The top left. What does the patch say?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
It says in S twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
N S twenty eight. What's that?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It stands for the twenty eighth mission of New Shepherd.
And New Shepherd is the name of the rocket that
I flew to space. And it's named that way because.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh I know this one. It's because Alan Shepherd was
the first American in space.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's right, Louise. And also because our flight path is
very similar to Alan Shepherd's flight. It just goes up
and comes back down.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And I get to chat with you about all that today.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yep. I'm ready when you are.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Okay, Emily, you just flew to space. But where did
you actually go to? Oh did you go to Pluto?
That's so far out in our Solar System.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well, I actually went a little bit closer to our
Earth than that. I did something called suborbital spaceflight.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Hold on, let me write that down. Sub orbital spaceflight.
And what is this suborbital spaceflight thing?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, it means it's not orbital. It's an astronaut that
flies up and comes back down without doing an orbit
around the Earth. So I went up to the skies,
stayed there for a few minutes, and then came right
back down.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That's really cool. Yeah, and how is your training to
go to space?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Oh, that's a fun story. So before going to space,
a week before your flight, you go to the astronaut
training village.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Hold on, an actual astronaut village. What does it look like?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh? Yes, So there is an astronaut training village in
the middle of the West Texas Desert in the United States,
and this is where all of the astronauts will stay
during their training. It's so beautiful. You can see the
mountains and the background, and you're basically in the middle
of nowhere. So at night, when you look up at
(14:32):
the sky you can see the Milky Way. Oh my gosh,
the stars there are so much brighter than you've ever
seen them. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And what do they teach you over there, Well, they
teach you how the mission will go, what g forces
you can expect.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
What are g forces? Emily?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh, Well, you see, Luis. As a rocket launches, it
starts going faster and faster into the sky, so your
body starts.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Feeling really really.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Heavy, and as an astronaut you have to be ready
for those g forces.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Gotcha, sounds like takeoff is really hard.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, well that's what training's for, to know what to expect.
Then at the village, you also practice for all emergencies
that might happen, because if something were to go wrong,
you want to be prepared. You want to have a
plan in place.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Why do you say emergencies, Do you mean like a
meteor shower.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, no, not like a meteor shower, But a rocket
launch can be a little risky. There's just so many
different things that could happen throughout the flight. Emergencies are
things like maybe a fire and the capsule or something
happens to the air and you can't breathe it, or
you need to get out of the capsule really really quickly.
(15:56):
We practice what we would do if any of those
things would happen.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's kind of scary, Emily. So you woke up the
day you went to space and what happened?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh my gosh. So the night before I flew to space,
I was so excited I could not sleep at all.
I went to bed and then I woke up at
eleven PM, and then I stayed up for most of
the night after that. And when I finally got out
of bed to get ready in the morning, my heart
was beating so fast, my adrenaline was pumping. Oh, I
(16:29):
was so excited.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I'd be so excited too. And if my mom were
going to space, I'd tell her to name a planet
after MAXI. Right, boy, what did your kids say before
you went to space? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Well, my daughter was a little bit scared because she
was afraid I might get captured by aliens.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now that'll be a real emergency. And then I guess
you reached space. So what was it like to be
up there?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, Well, fewer than seven hundred people have ever gone
to space, and now just one hundred women. And that's
not a lot of people to see the Earth from
that perspective, you know, I just I really wanted to
be one of those people who were able to see
that view with their own eyes. And when I saw
(17:21):
the Earth from above, it was a moment I'll never forget.
It was beautiful. I was seeing new images, new colors,
new details, new contrasts than I've ever seen before. The
planet from that perspective above, the atmosphere was beautiful. It's
(17:41):
like the biggest thing I've ever seen with my own eyes,
you know. And when you see something really big like
that for yourself, well, it changes your mind a little bit. Why, Emily, Well,
because when you're up there, you don't see the borders
between countries or cines. You see our fragile planet hanging
(18:03):
in the void of space, the vacuum of space. And
the only thing that our fragile planet has to protect
against the vastness of space is that thin blue line
that's our atmosphere. And so you realize how precious our
planet really is. I just wish more people could see
our planet from that perspective.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I love that, Emily. Maybe even kids can go to
space sometime.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh that will be cool, Luis, that was a really
good interview.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You did great, Thanks, Emily. But I have one last
surprise for you. Really Yep, little Emily also has something
very special to tell you right here, right now. Come in,
little Emily.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
You did it, bake, Emily, Come here, kiddo, how did
you get here?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
A good night always knows a thing or two about
time travel.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oh me a fair hug you both. Oh, thanks for
believing in me, Emily, No, kiddo, Thank you for believing
in us.
Speaker 1 (19:18):

Okay, I'm so in.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
All right, ready let the astro show begin. First question,
what is a space burp?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh? Hmm, A space burp sounds like burping fire, like
rockets do. Well. You see, people can burp here on
Earth because gravity helps keep things in your belly while
taking the gas up and out. In space, there's no gravity,
(07:24):
So if you burpen space, basically your lunch goes up
with it and all over the place.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Ew.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
That's gross, but kind of funny, too true.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Okay, you got it right yo. Now question number two,
who was the first woman to go to space?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Oh? I'm pretty sure it was Mary Mars. That's a
cute name for a woman astronaut. But the answer is
that Valentina Terrishkova terrish Kova.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yep, she flew in nineteen sixty three, and you know what,
she spent three whole days orbiting Earth all alone. She
did it on a spacecraft called Vostok six.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
WHOA, I didn't know that. I want to hear more
about her. You're doing a great job, kiddo.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, and this is fun too. All right. Final question,
would you ever want to go to space?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah? I want to too. I want to see the
Earth from above. I wonder what it would look like.
Is it really blue or is it green like a
giant forest? Can we see the clouds from way up there?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I want to go? Oh, I think i'd like that too.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I have a bone question, little Emily. Do you know
who's gonna be the one hundredth women to go to space?
How did I know that?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I'm not from the future?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, what if I told you you'll be the one
hundredth woman to go to space?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Me?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes, you Emily?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Oh wow, I'd I'd make history.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I'd love that. Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I don't know about you, Louise, but this is officially
the most inspiring game show I've ever been to. So
did I win?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Well, of course you did.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Did I get infinite ragging rights? You're gonna do amazing things?
You know that, kiddo? You really think?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're gonna go to space, Dear Emily.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So Emily, are you ready to fly off? Now? You sure?
I am?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Louis. Little Emily inspired me so much? So you want
me to be your very special guest on our talk show?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Then for sure, Emily, as soon as you come back
from a mission.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh, I'm honored. And how do you feel about doing
your first ever talk show by yourself?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh? A little nervous, Emily.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You've learned so much during this season, Louise, I know
you can do it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, you're right. As long as I'm with Maxie, it'll
be okay.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Shall we go back to the present, then let's go
thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
After Louis and Emily's time travel game show, the most
special day in Emily's life finally arrives.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
And now we're just five minutes away from the launch
of the NS twenty eighth mission. The crew is secured
in their seats and final systems checks are underway. Bye
Paul three two one, and we have a lift of
(11:10):
a historic moment that Emily begins her journey beyond Earth.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And so Luis gets ready to host his first talk
show ever.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay, Maxy, this is it my first talk show solo ever.
You're right, Maxy, A good night always faces great challenges.
I can do it for Emily. Here we go. Hi, everyone,
welcome to our very last talk show for this season.
(11:50):
Let's give the warmest of welcomes to Emily Calinrelly, who
just came back from a space mission. Only on this
talk show you'll get to hear from a real astronaut
what it's like to see our big, beautiful Earth all
the way from outer space. So get ready. This is
gonna be out of this world. Oh thanks everyone, Welcome Emily. Wow.
(12:18):
The spacesuit you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It is, Louise. See, it's all blue, and it has
my name sits on the top right. And then we
have our mission patch on.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The top left. What does the patch say?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
It says in S twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
N S twenty eight. What's that?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It stands for the twenty eighth mission of New Shepherd.
And New Shepherd is the name of the rocket that
I flew to space. And it's named that way because.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh I know this one. It's because Alan Shepherd was
the first American in space.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's right, Louise. And also because our flight path is
very similar to Alan Shepherd's flight. It just goes up
and comes back down.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And I get to chat with you about all that today.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yep. I'm ready when you are.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Okay, Emily, you just flew to space. But where did
you actually go to? Oh did you go to Pluto?
That's so far out in our Solar System.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well, I actually went a little bit closer to our
Earth than that. I did something called suborbital spaceflight.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Hold on, let me write that down. Sub orbital spaceflight.
And what is this suborbital spaceflight thing?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, it means it's not orbital. It's an astronaut that
flies up and comes back down without doing an orbit
around the Earth. So I went up to the skies,
stayed there for a few minutes, and then came right
back down.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That's really cool. Yeah, and how is your training to
go to space?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Oh, that's a fun story. So before going to space,
a week before your flight, you go to the astronaut
training village.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Hold on, an actual astronaut village. What does it look like?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh? Yes, So there is an astronaut training village in
the middle of the West Texas Desert in the United States,
and this is where all of the astronauts will stay
during their training. It's so beautiful. You can see the
mountains and the background, and you're basically in the middle
of nowhere. So at night, when you look up at
(14:32):
the sky you can see the Milky Way. Oh my gosh,
the stars there are so much brighter than you've ever
seen them. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And what do they teach you over there, Well, they
teach you how the mission will go, what g forces
you can expect.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
What are g forces? Emily?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh, Well, you see, Luis. As a rocket launches, it
starts going faster and faster into the sky, so your
body starts.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Feeling really really.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Heavy, and as an astronaut you have to be ready
for those g forces.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Gotcha, sounds like takeoff is really hard.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, well that's what training's for, to know what to expect.
Then at the village, you also practice for all emergencies
that might happen, because if something were to go wrong,
you want to be prepared. You want to have a
plan in place.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Why do you say emergencies, Do you mean like a
meteor shower.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, no, not like a meteor shower, But a rocket
launch can be a little risky. There's just so many
different things that could happen throughout the flight. Emergencies are
things like maybe a fire and the capsule or something
happens to the air and you can't breathe it, or
you need to get out of the capsule really really quickly.
(15:56):
We practice what we would do if any of those
things would happen.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's kind of scary, Emily. So you woke up the
day you went to space and what happened?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh my gosh. So the night before I flew to space,
I was so excited I could not sleep at all.
I went to bed and then I woke up at
eleven PM, and then I stayed up for most of
the night after that. And when I finally got out
of bed to get ready in the morning, my heart
was beating so fast, my adrenaline was pumping. Oh, I
(16:29):
was so excited.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I'd be so excited too. And if my mom were
going to space, I'd tell her to name a planet
after MAXI. Right, boy, what did your kids say before
you went to space? Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Well, my daughter was a little bit scared because she
was afraid I might get captured by aliens.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now that'll be a real emergency. And then I guess
you reached space. So what was it like to be
up there?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, Well, fewer than seven hundred people have ever gone
to space, and now just one hundred women. And that's
not a lot of people to see the Earth from
that perspective, you know, I just I really wanted to
be one of those people who were able to see
that view with their own eyes. And when I saw
(17:21):
the Earth from above, it was a moment I'll never forget.
It was beautiful. I was seeing new images, new colors,
new details, new contrasts than I've ever seen before. The
planet from that perspective above, the atmosphere was beautiful. It's
(17:41):
like the biggest thing I've ever seen with my own eyes,
you know. And when you see something really big like
that for yourself, well, it changes your mind a little bit. Why, Emily, Well,
because when you're up there, you don't see the borders
between countries or cines. You see our fragile planet hanging
(18:03):
in the void of space, the vacuum of space. And
the only thing that our fragile planet has to protect
against the vastness of space is that thin blue line
that's our atmosphere. And so you realize how precious our
planet really is. I just wish more people could see
our planet from that perspective.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I love that, Emily. Maybe even kids can go to
space sometime.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh that will be cool, Luis, that was a really
good interview.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You did great, Thanks, Emily. But I have one last
surprise for you. Really Yep, little Emily also has something
very special to tell you right here, right now. Come in,
little Emily.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
You did it, bake, Emily, Come here, kiddo, how did
you get here?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
A good night always knows a thing or two about
time travel.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oh me a fair hug you both. Oh, thanks for
believing in me, Emily, No, kiddo, Thank you for believing
in us.
