>> ALL RIGHT WELCOME BACK TO
CHEDDAR'S NEWS OR AT NASA
MAKING HUGE EARLIER THIS WEEK
RESEARCHERS FINDING THE
EQUIVALENT OF ABOUT A 12 OUNCE
BOTTLE
OF WATER TRAPPED IN A CUBIC
METER OF SOIL SPREAD ACROSS THE
SUN, LET'S SURFACE OF
THE MOON SAY THAT SENSE 5 TIMES
FAST THIS DISCOVERY INDICATED
THAT WATER MAY BE DISTRIBUTED
ACROSS THE LUNAR SURFACE.
SO HOW DOES THIS NEWS BENEFIT
US HERE
ON EARTH HERE TO DISCUSS AND
BREAK IT ALL DOWN HIS FRIEND OF
THE SHOW FORMER NASA ASTRONAUT
LEROY CHOW GREAT TO HAVE YOU
HERE OKAY SO I'M I'M NOT A
FORMER POLICE TELL US WHAT
NASA'S FINDINGS MEAN AND LEROY
THERE RIGHT ASK ARE WE CLOSER
TO ALIENS.
>> WELL THIS IS A VERY FINE
BECAUSE WE VALUE.
>> WARD BEFORE LIKE FOR EXAMPLE
THE SOUTH POLE WHERE AREAS THAT
NEVER SEE THE SUN AND WHAT THAT
MEANS IT'S STATES COLD ENOUGH
THAT ICE CAN STAY
IN THAT WARM AND VERY LOW
TEMPERATURES IN FACT CHECK OF
THE CRATER ON THE SOUTH.
ALL THE TEMPERATURES INSIDE
THE CAR GREATER ARE RIGHT
AROUND THE TEMPERATURES OF
LIQUID NITROGEN SO THAT GIVES
YOU AN IDEA THIS FINDING THAT
THERE ACTUALLY IS WATER
ON THE SIDE OF THE PARTS THAT
IS THE PART OF THE MOON THAT
GET HIT BY THE SUN AND PERHAPS
IN SMALL SHALLOW CRATERS IS
VERY EXCITING BECAUSE IT MEANS
THAT WATER IT'S MORE
ACCESSIBLE. THIS DOES IT, WE
KNOW WE'RE GOING TO FIND ALIENS
THEY'RE NOT ALL THE WAY MEANS
IS THAT WHEN ASTRONAUTS IN
MISSIONS GO THERE IT MIGHT BE
EASIER FOR HIM ACCESSED WATER
DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE
TO DRILL. IT'S ALRIGHT OR
ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO DOWN INTO
SOMETHING LIKE SHECHTMAN CRATER
IN LIQUID NITROGEN AT
TEMPERATURES TO TRY TO
GET IT. WHY IS WATER IMPORTANT
WHILE SAME REASONS IT'S
IMPORTANT HERE. IN PRINCIPLE,
MAYBE YOU CAN MELT THAT ICE AND
DRINK THAT WATER THAT WOULD BE
GOOD. I WANT TO YOU KNOW TRY IT
LIVE OFF THE LAND AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE YOU CAN
USE ELECTRICITY THAT WATER INTO
OXYGEN AND HYDROGEN YOU COULD
USE THE AUCTION FOR BREATHING.
AND SUNDAY WHEN WE GET YOU KNOW
WE'RE CRYOGENIC EQUIPMENT TO DO
TO THE LUNAR SURFACE. YOU COULD
IN PRINCIPLE
USE THAT HI JENNA NO ACTION TO
MAKE A LIQUID HYDROGEN AND
LIQUID AUCTION WHICH FORCE IS
USEFUL AS ROCK IT FEELS VERY
EXCITING POSSIBILITIES WITH
THIS FIND THAT THERE IT SEEMS
TO BE MORE WATER ON THE MOON
THAN WE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.
>> IT IS
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING MAY I
THANK YOU FOR HUGH MURRAY MAY
ON MY ADMITTEDLY VERY SILLY
ALIEN QUESTION I I DO NOT MEAN
TO DEMEAN THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS AND IT IS FASCINATING
NOW TALK TO ME A BIT ABOUT THE
ACTUAL
EXTRACTION PROCESS. IF WE WERE
GOING TO TRY AND LEARN MORE
ABOUT THE THIS WATER ON THE
LUNAR SERVICE THAT HAS BEEN
DISCOVERED WHAT WOULD THAT
PROCESS ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE.
>> WELL THE FACT THAT IT IS
IN THE SOMEWHAT REGIONS IS VERY
EXCITING BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
CAN DETECT WILL YOU KNOW ON THE
SERVICE WITHOUT HAVING TO PUT
SOMETHING DOWN THERE AND DRILL
FOR IT AND THAT MEANS
YOU KNOW MAYBE IN SOME OF THESE
CRATERS THERE'S ACTUALLY ICE
THERE AND IF THERE'S ICE THERE
ON THE SURFACE OR NOT FAR BELOW
THE SEA, THEY SEEM TO BE
RELATIVELY EASY
TO EXTRACT AND THEN WE GET YOU
KNOW TAKE IT AND PROCESS IT YOU
KNOW TESTED FOR PURITY FOR
DRINKING AND FOR CRACKING INTO
OXYGEN
AND HYDROGEN PREVIOUSLY WE HAD
ASSUMED THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY
HAVE TO DRILL FOR WATER UNDER
THE SURFACE ASSUMING IT
WAS THERE OR GREAT THOSE LIQUID
NITROGEN TEMPERATURES AND GET
DOWN INTO PLACES LIKE SHAQ CAN
CREATE OR TO TRY TO PICK UP
SOME ICE AND USE THE WATER FROM
THAT I SO THIS I
REALLY OPENS UP THE POSSIBILITY
THAT WE CAN LAND A LOT MORE
DIFFERENT BASES ON THE MOON AND
COUNT ON FINDING SOME WATER DID
WE COULD USE.
>> ALL RIGHT ANOTHER LAYMAN'S
QUESTION HERE SO POLICE AGAIN
IF YOU WELL I THINK FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE LOOKING AT OUR HISTORY
THAT GOES BACK DECADES WITH
REGARDS TO THE MOON PERHAPS YOU
HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE
WHO MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S
SO DIFFICULT LEROY TO EVEN FIND
OUT THIS INFORMATION WHY ARE WE
LEARNING ABOUT THIS NOW IF WE
ACTUALLY LANDED THERE QUITE
SOME TIME AGO HOW DIFFICULT IS
IT TO ACTUALLY GET CONFIRMATION
ABOUT EMERGING SCIENCE ON THE
FACE OF THE MOON.
>> WELL OUR SENSORS AND
DETECTORS
AND TELESCOPES IT IS GETTING
BETTER AS TIME GOES ON AS WE
LEARN MORE AND SO BACK IN THE
1960'S AND 70'S WHEN WE LAND ON
THE MOON WITH IT THIS
TECHNOLOGY AND IT WAS SOME AND
TO SAY HEY YOU KNOW BASICALLY
THE MOOD HAS.
>> VERY VERY THIN ATMOSPHERE
FOR ALL
PRACTICAL PURPOSE.
>> THIS IS IT'S BACK TO YOU I
HIT THAT SURFACE WITH SEMI TO
HEAT IT
UP AND WHY WOULD BE WHY ARE
THERE WHY WOULD THERE BE ICE
THERE SO THIS SOPHIA YOU KNOW
VERY RECENTLY JUST ANNOUNCED
OF COURSE I WAS ABLE TO
ACTUALLY DETECT WATER IN AREAS
OF THE MOON. THAT ARE LIT BY
THE SUN AND SO THAT WAS A
SURPRISING DISCOVERY. AND WE
YEAH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE THE OLD
ASSUMPTIONS SCENE PERFECTLY
VALID
TO ME. BUT THE FACT IS THE
INSTRUMENT DID DETECT WATER IN
YOU KNOW A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH
QUANTITY WASN'T JUST TRACE
AMOUNTS AND SO AND THAT'S
EXCITING BUT STILL HARD TO
EXPLAIN.
>> WE WERE WELL, YEAH I DO WANT
TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS NOW
DELAYED LAUNCH THIS COMES
FROM BOTH BASE X AND NASA IF
I'M NOT MISTAKEN THIS HAS TO DO
WITH THE STARLINK SATELLITE
FLEET GIVE US SOME SENSE AS TO
WHY THIS WAS DELAYED WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE
ON HALLOWEEN. NOW GOING TO BE A
LITTLE BIT LATER NOVEMBER.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW HERE.
>> I WAS DELAYED NOT NOT
DIRECTLY BECAUSE OF THE
STARLINK SATELLITES BUT BECAUSE
OF SOME OF THE STARTLING
ROCKETS THAT LAUNCH STARLINK
SATELLITES. I THINK CANCER.
SOME LITTLE THINGS WITH THE
ENGINES THAT WERE ENOUGH AND
THAT THAT NASA AND SPACE X
WANTED TO TAKE A PAUSE TO MAKE
SURE
THEY UNDERSTOOD SOME OF
SOMEWHAT ANOMALOUS SIGNALS THAT
THEY SAW ONE OF THEM ROCKET
ENGINES AND SO SEEM TO HAVE
COME UP
WITH THAT.
>> AND YOU KNOW AN EXPLANATION
OF WHAT WAS GOING ON.
>> THINGS LIKE BABY THEIR
DESCENT DECIDED HIS MIND
OR NOT WORK FIRE TO FIND A FIX
FOR IT SO NOW THEY SAID THE
LAUNCH DATE FOR NOVEMBER
14TH AND SO I OR DELAY JUST TO
BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS TO MAKE SURE
THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING
WITH THE ROCKET ENGINE.
>> LEROY CHIAO FORMER NASA
ASTRONAUT MY FRIEND, I MUST
LEAVE IT THERE. I WILL TELL YOU
ON BEHALF OF ANNA AND
MYSELF THERE A FEW STORIES THAT
WE LOVE MORE IN THE WORLD OF
NEWS AND THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO
