gotta say gps is pretty damn nice, if i had to reinvent it myself without satellites, i would have to geolocate based on the sun and time or some crap, can you imagine a world where you had to set your phone down in a known orientation relative to the sun and wait for it to measure position to give you a reading on gps, it would have large portions of the day there would be no visible sun/moon and you would only be able to have rough triangulation based on how well you can spin your phone to a very specific angle
I am here to attest that Chuck is there to catch the parts that the lay person like me needs to understand. Thanks for the hydrozene catch Chuck. I love learning new words everyday. A passion I gained from Neil.
I saw the word "hydrozene" and thought "wait is there an unsaturated form of hydrozine used in rocket propellent?" Turns out diimide does exist but isn't used in rocketry. I guess you just meant hydrazine..
Neil has a point about the NASA budget. It is dismal considering all that NASA has given us. They invented velcro and that is just an example of the small things that they have created that have improved our lives over the few decades that they have existed My point is just that we really should fund NASA better
My 6 kids and I are all stuck home for the holidays thanks to bring sick with Covid. We have been watching Space Talk non-stop. It's so addicting! Neil is a fantastic teacher and Chuck is hilarious and asks the questions we're all thinking. Love you guys!💜
What an amazing and informative episode! Great to see all these women in space technology! Kudos to Spacetalk! As usual, over-the-top comedy with Chuck!! :D
Glad Chuck is here to sort of pause the convo and make them explain a couple things cause it helps us less space,y folks follow the convo more closely 😂
I'm just about to start watching, but I'll bet everything I own that Chuck is going to have too much fun with this one. I have to wonder what the "Nice space laser" would look like and be capable of.
Why are we watching a corporate VP? They're the "Mile Wide; Inch Deep" people. ...and then at 19:00 I saw the Raytheon ad. I'm going to be sick... Did this show just sellout to a corporation? ...I don't know what to say. I'm actually brokenhearted.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. As a programmer I really support Raytheon being able to use code they'd already written. I was always taught to never re-invent the wheel.
Having a defense industry ad feels a bit bad...but I get there are bills to pay and some of these companies have a lot of influence in space. Wish their attitude on satellites wasn't "N + 1"
This was such an interesting episode! Both of these guests were great at describing their work in a language that those of us who don't do this for a living (sending things into orbit around earth, I mean). Also, great representation of women in stem! Love to see it!
One very exciting development currently in progress that's relevant to this video, particularly with LEO to MEO satellites and space junk is electrodynamic tethers. The capability to attach satellites to each other (without pre-existing docking adapters) and potentially to accelerate or decelerate these satellites through space just using Earth's magnetic field could be a game changer. From what I understand the problem is far from well understood. Similar to ion engines, electrodynamic tethers have a few major challenges to solve theoretically and practically before they make it to space, but I'm hopeful for the technology. From my napkin math, a year's operation of one of these tethers could produce delta-v several orders of magnitude higher than a chemical rocket, and even an order of magnitude greater than an electric propulsion like a hall-effect thruster. If lifetimes can be longer than a year, they could become a workhorse for pulling satellites from LEO up to MEO, effectively saving tons of delta-v for an average payload.
Sir I have travelled from Calgary Alberta here to New York. Today I went the American Museum of natural history. Amazing yes, but would have been more Amazing to Shake hands with the man has inspired so many people. I’m here for 3 more days. 🍻
hey as long as Raytheon is making google maps more accurate with better traffic information, and one of the heads of the company is a woman, we can ignore the laser guided missiles they're selling to the Saudis.
How is it that I can tune in to an episode that I started the day it came out and it and then come back to it when I need a relevant piece of information anyway that's not important I hear you miss lady and thank you at first I thought you were kind of being a bully but I see that you are actually answering a lot of questions that I desperately needed answered thank you ✌️✌️✌️✌️ I would love to have a conversation with you I love the way you speak and carry yourself in this podcast
Neil, question for you. Never understood this. Big bang, then huge expansion, along the way universe cooled down. Everybody says this. But nobody tells, where did the heat go? Conduction, convection.... Who or what took the heat in empty space ? Thanks you.
Impulse Engines? Ion Rockets? Using accelerated ions for propulsion is something I've always wondered about. Maybe copper ions since they react so well to magnetic fields.
I like this series, and I like listening to Neil talk about space science, but.... I do wish he'd dial back the condescension and interrupting the guests. It gets a little hard to watch sometimes.
OH! are we talkin about Marjory Green Taylor' conspiracy about Jew space sattelite lazerz!?!? Yiikes!... do tell us how they start fires in the california wild greeneries! Lol 😆
Ty for mentioning this possible conspiracy. While most might consider it simple bigotry, the banks and funding involved around this technology is accurate.
Indiana Jones and that game where you can to fly a taxi trough a 2D mace, every time you did press a button it would fly up and slowly decent if you didn't. And the first Sim City or The settlers, and Star Wars game. I think i did play those games with like 5fps but loves every second of it :D
Hello Dr. Tyson, Hey hey hey Chuck, nice to see you Gary. This is Harshavardhan from India, i will make it easier for you Chuck you can call me Harsh. Dr. Tyson, I couldn't get an answer with my thinking hat on, please help me understand what is the minimum amount of gases that is required to become a stable sphere of gases in space like our gases giant. If we could measure the distance of that sphere from one end to the other end how much would it be?
Thinking to myself: Guests would have a whole lot more time to contribute and be the actual guest, and a ton more questions would get answered during cosmic queries; if Chuck didn't spend so much time trying to be funny, and if NDT didn't always have to go out of his way to prove how smart he is. I said what I said.
WOW 🤗 I used to work in TORONTO for an Aerospace Subcontractor ( MAGNA ELECTRONICS ) manufacturing F16 , wait , F15 and CF15 fighter radar jamming (device) chassis ! WOULD I EVER LOVE TO A PART OF THIS DISCUSSION !!!🖐😳😃😊
Dr. NDT;) I think I’ve got a conundrum or a paradox on my hands here or more likely a lack of understanding of time dilation at full speed…. Consider two scientists standing on Earth, one with a good telescope capable of viewing Neptune some five light-hours away and the other climbing into a spaceship capable of very very near light speed travel. Both synchronize their watches and aim the ship where Neptune will be upon intercept. The spaceship is programmed to stop ‘relatively quickly’ in five hours and transmit pics of Neptune then return immediately. Would the round trip for each explorer still take ten hours? I would assume time dilation would slow time for the space traveler but the paradox I see is that the observer of the ship traveling to Neptune and back is fixed at exactly ten hours but the space traveler if truly traveling very near the speed of light would also experience that same ten hours to make the ten light-hour trip. Their watches should still be synchronized it would seem or does the distance have to be on the light year scale to be significant? If so, I’m lost because the distance considered is the same for both people and the speed of light is the same for both people. Please help me understand. Thanks and great show by the way.
A part of my confusion is the old saying that if a traveler headed out at light speed for a year then returned would return to a new much older world. The observer would have to assume the spaceship isn’t operating at the speed of light.
@@gwolf7716 I get it as much as is relevant to my life but I'm not a rocket surgeon.. on the way there the person on earth would probably see the trip taking the 10 hours.. the astronaut would probably be close to not aging most of those 10 hours due to the time dilation where it's a matter of aging a couple seconds per hour (depending on how close to light speed they were traveling) of the near light speed part of the trip also in this case the pictures data could arrive before the astronaut if they were sent at light speed If the astronaut traveled at light speed they would only age for the duration of the trip that the speed was less than the speed of light. The observer would age the 10 hours that the trip took I'm not saying this is the absolute answer it's also likely I didn't read the question carefully or calculate any of my math
@@jokerdiamondz8981 thanks for the response but what about a light year option? Both can visualize a destination one light year out. A year at light speed takes a year then back another year. The guy observing from Earth witnessed this voyage and welcomes the voyager back in two years.
something needs to be done about expired ones that are already out there. could you use an unmanned craft like a space tug to give them a little nudge in the right part of their orbit to throw them at the sun or at the moon as a collection of recyclable material? make all the owners contribute toward the costs.
What's your favorite satellite-induced technology?
GPS, probably.
GPS, then communication.
gotta say gps is pretty damn nice, if i had to reinvent it myself without satellites, i would have to geolocate based on the sun and time or some crap, can you imagine a world where you had to set your phone down in a known orientation relative to the sun and wait for it to measure position to give you a reading on gps, it would have large portions of the day there would be no visible sun/moon and you would only be able to have rough triangulation based on how well you can spin your phone to a very specific angle
Gps hands down great for caculation of field rotation and precision in location by lat, and long along with seconds and millisecond
Duh! The Black Night Satellite🤦🏻♂️😂

Never stop doing these please. I love Star Talk!
agreed.
Me too!
Hello gang
We're not going anywhere!
Neil has a point about the NASA budget. It is dismal considering all that NASA has given us. They invented velcro and that is just an example of the small things that they have created that have improved our lives over the few decades that they have existed
My point is just that we really should fund NASA better
then there wouldn't be enough money for wars (btw, i agree with you, just being sarcastic)
George de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, invented Velcro. NASA's involvement is yet another easily checked urban myth.
Raytheon is the Wealthy
Yes but then they couldn't pump billions of dollars into Raytheon and other corrupt military contractor corporations.
We definitely should!
My 6 kids and I are all stuck home for the holidays thanks to bring sick with Covid. We have been watching Space Talk non-stop. It's so addicting! Neil is a fantastic teacher and Chuck is hilarious and asks the questions we're all thinking. Love you guys!💜
Startalk is the best podcast ever, It feels like home
What an amazing and informative episode! Great to see all these women in space technology! Kudos to Spacetalk! As usual, over-the-top comedy with Chuck!! :D
I want more of Kerri please! She is a delight and just resonated so well with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson and Lord Nice. I love this podcast.
I get so excited whenever I see a new video posted! Please always keep enlightening us, Neil and Chuck!
Another great episode everyone, thanks Neil, Lord Chuck, and the two wonderful guests, Sandy and Kerri
Only you guys can keep me interested in an hour long discussion of satellites! I really love this channel!! I love Star talk
Glad Chuck is here to sort of pause the convo and make them explain a couple things cause it helps us less space,y folks follow the convo more closely 😂
The first half felt like such a boring corporate self-congratulating marketing spiel.
This comment felt like it came from someone mentally challenged
When you hear of Raytheon you actually think of arms industry, government lobbying and war.
So... when it's a big player in defense industry you don't have to indicate a sponsored video? 😏
I'm just about to start watching, but I'll bet everything I own that Chuck is going to have too much fun with this one. I have to wonder what the "Nice space laser" would look like and be capable of.
I'll take that bet.
Don't let Chuck get a hold of the space lasers...
This was awesome!
The guests were brilliant!
Another home run for startalk!
I hate that I am only just now getting into Star Talk, but I am so happy it exists.
Neil and Chuck for 2024
Lord Nice…a true comedian😂
Why are we watching a corporate VP? They're the "Mile Wide; Inch Deep" people. ...and then at 19:00 I saw the Raytheon ad. I'm going to be sick... Did this show just sellout to a corporation? ...I don't know what to say. I'm actually brokenhearted.
Sellout or choosing to live? The answer is yes.
Greetings from the BIG SKY. As a programmer I really support Raytheon being able to use code they'd already written. I was always taught to never re-invent the wheel.
I'm always excited to watch star talk new episode. Thanks Neil.
I love you guys...your brilliance, knowledge, humor, and willingness to share this with all of us.

@Startalk can you explain Why your thumbnail shows the laser being over East Africa?
Haha. That’s every episode we do. Sassy Chuck
I'm early, by far one of the best episodes of startalk
Great interview! Please bring Dr. Carie back...
Nice video Neil, very informative. Keep it up!
Would like to know more about laser communication in any future talk.

As usual excellent show
42:00 Love you Chuck
Excellent discussions!
Chuck became Bill Burr towards the end, hilarious 🤣🤣
Yeah, Ratheon is also a major defense contractor, so what they're doing with satellites is no doubt more than she'll admit here.
You expected her to disclose classified information? LOL
Nice to meet u

Yeah while this episode and work is great, it’s a shame that this kind of exposure also whitewashes what Raytheon has done
Nah I don't trust a chick to not find a way to push space laser button, probably on an ex bf she still is obsessed with...
Once a year, I comment here with this:
As there is required reading in schools, Startalk should be required viewing.
Bliss
I've heard the term the universe is like fabric it when it folds in on itself but isn't it more like water when it does the rippling effect?
Yes! Space Time is fluid! Don't get me started.
Give me a phone call and a job I’m worth we are dieing and it’s like we’re not consious at all about the literal global threat
Sandy (sp?) was great this interview.

I'd love to learn more about systems engineering.

Poor Russians dying just to keep Putin and other rich Russian politicians rich, fuelling their yachts with Russia blood.

Neil, are You and Chuck Life partners? You guys make a beautiful couple.From the heart.
Very impressive guest, thanks!
Iron dome missile system from Raytheon is amazing.
Chuck is fire, "I don't see a crab!" LOL
I remember commodore 64 and Atari (space invaders ). And Spielberg's "close encounters of the third kind" .

I still have my commodore 64, data cassette and 1541 disk drives in a box somewhere. Programming sprite graphics was fun back then.
My dad was hired for Raytheon to work in alert Nunavut the most north base/settlement 3 degrees farther north than Svalbard
Best show ever …. All episodes
Where can I get a print if the black heart behind Chuck? Love it
How many lives lost to the "war on terror" does it cost to make Raytheon a billion dollars? Just wondering 🤔
Thinking to myself:
Guests would have a whole lot more time to contribute and be the actual guest, and a ton more questions would get answered during cosmic queries;
if Chuck didn't spend so much time trying to be funny, and if NDT didn't always have to go out of his way to prove how smart he is.
I said what I said.
excellent episode, thanks!
I can't believe that no one mentioned the fact that STAR Lab is part of the DC Universe! Kerri works with Superman, Batman and The Flash!
"I like satellites of any size" got me secondhand geeking for her
Thanks!
Thank you!
She had me at Commodore 64. ❤

28:00
Neil: it's crusty in the outside and soft and warm on the inside
Her: are we still talking about satellites here?
Neil: 🥴
Can you imagine aliens flying by and saying ,"Don't stop there. It's a bad neighborhood they're the trailer trash of this system."
Sandy Brown is the sheet
Seems Neil upgraded to HD
Chucks great
That first segment was a pure ad, but it was still ok.
Ok have a great nyt my friends
"...but can you protect yourself against an asteroid? I bet you can't!"
That's right, Neil! Justified pettiness!!
If it's 20,000$ per pound for LEO, it's more than 40,000$ per kg, not 10k.
