Got anything good?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. So Australians
in space, we bloody did it. We did it well.
I don't know if you saw it. I saw it. Okay,
let me just read this headline. So yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know if you're aware of this, but Australia
was trying to launch a rocket into space. Headline here
from today's Financial Review. It's the newspaper I always read
before the show. Australia's attempt at entering space last less
than thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Okay, that's not.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And now I'm looking at the Guardian headline here. All
the wars were the cloud and that was it.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Like a burnout in the sky.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yes, reasons in space to Eski and beyond. Here's the
news report of this from yesterday.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
The first Australian made rocket to launch on home soil
has crashed and burned just seconds after lift off. But
Despine the spectacular explosion. The Queensland company in charge says
it will be back for another attempt.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Queensland it really is bogus.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And you don't think necessarily like cutting edge.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know, you don't think that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
You know, you don't think you've got the billionaire boys,
haven't you will? You've got like bezos and musk Queensland.
It's not the Silicon Valley of Australia, is it. No,
Just respect Queensland. But you know, so, did you see it?
Sort of there was like a lot of smoke. Then
it's sort the sort of fell over.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It barely got off the launching pad. Well, I'm looking
at the new support here.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
The key line that I've highlighted is it flew for
fourteen seconds before losing thrust. Yeah, that's how it's's wedding
night telling me that story when we first meat have it?
Have it into this from some nerd that was filming
a bill Now it is id Also Lockie, who is
a very talented sound architect on the show. He's into
(02:22):
anything thrusty f one and rockets.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
He knows who this nerd is.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know Lockie was off last week sick. I reckon
it was him up there, loves to have more flight time.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Sorry, this is a guy from the actual company. Listen
to this guy trying to get in front of this story,
actually trying to own it as No, this is great, No,
this is what meant to happen.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
This is the best thing.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I would have loved to have more flight time, but
I think fourteen seconds is something I'm willing to be
very happy with for the first attempt.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Well, thank god Neil Armstrong and his mates weren't didn't
have that expirit about.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Them at fourteen seconds. It's great. We can build on this.
He also said there's a quote here.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
They asked him why it was so like such a failure,
and he said, space is hard.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's hovering, it's hovering, it's hovering.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
This is some nerdy filmed at all. There was no
other nerds filming or just this one guy. Apparently the
video he gets so excited he knocks his own tripod over,
so he lost a lot of space.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It's hovering, it's hovering, it's hovering. It's gone. It's gone.
Ah No.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
If I had to sum up in just one phrase,
the d season.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Ah no, ah no. Christian O'Connell Show Gone Podcast
