0:00

everything is absolutely wonderful about

0:03

space until it isn't and right now it

0:09

isn't we have two people stred in space

0:14

and that's what I'm going to talk about

0:17

because this is the actual realization

0:20

that we are not in the 24th century but

0:24

the

0:25

21st and space is very unforgiving

0:33

if you work for a living why do you kill

0:36

yourself

0:38

working I was sitting at the bar my

0:41

local uh bar restaurant you got pretty

0:45

good pizza I was ordering a sandwich on

0:48

this particular

0:49

occasion and a young guy sat next to me

0:53

when I say young I guess maybe mid-30s

0:56

and of course we struck up a

0:58

conversation

1:00

and he was so excited and so animated

1:04

and I I said hey what's the story he

1:07

says oh it you know have you heard about

1:10

the discovered you know Mars says

1:13

water and I said well I I kind of heard

1:17

something it's like under the surface or

1:20

yeah yeah but the thing that got me was

1:24

just how like really crazy animated he

1:28

was about this as though I don't know

1:31

like like he [ __ ] discovered oil in

1:34

his backyard or something I don't know

1:38

but so I decided to tag along and I said

1:41

yes so I said so yeah so they

1:45

discovered you know all this maybe a

1:48

large body of water and he's like oh

1:50

yeah guzzle guzzle the beer and [ __ ]

1:53

it's like okay so after I thought about

1:56

it I figured okay let's see how far I go

1:59

with this I said so um so what's that

2:02

mean and suddenly I got this you know I

2:06

got this the look from him like suddenly

2:08

I grew six [ __ ] heads or something

2:10

and he says well it's water don't don't

2:13

you large amounts of water and they

2:16

discovered it could be huge it could be

2:18

like I said what like the [ __ ]

2:20

Pacific Ocean

2:22

yeah I said okay so what's that

2:25

mean and I think maybe at some point I

2:30

kept asking him what it meant because he

2:33

grew kind of annoyed and and I said I I

2:36

just cut him off I wanted to I wanted to

2:39

save his mind because you could see like

2:43

the the the rusty gears were starting to

2:46

turn but it was painful and I just

2:47

wanted to save him the trouble I said

2:50

actually tell you what I'm going to tell

2:52

you what it means

2:55

and and I said yeah it it doesn't mean a

2:58

[ __ ] thing

3:03

doesn't mean for all intents and

3:06

purposes doesn't mean a [ __ ] thing

3:08

nothing to you or I or you know even a

3:11

few Generations it does it means

3:15

nothing well what do you mean it Waters

3:19

life and yeah so you can tell that you

3:22

know he's been eating this this

3:24

corporate McDonald munchkin land

3:26

[ __ ] from the nass holes as a uh

3:29

call them um you've been swallow you've

3:32

been drinking the [ __ ] Kool-Aid as it

3:34

wills and

3:36

so here's what I'm going to tell you uh

3:38

basically like the roundabout way that I

3:41

was explaining to him I don't care if

3:44

they found the [ __ ] Pacific Ocean

3:46

under somewhere under the surface of

3:48

Mars there's nothing we can do with it

3:51

and the reason for that is because all

3:54

we can do is go to Mars and at the

3:59

absolute furthest stretch of our current

4:01

technology yeah we can get to Mars we we

4:04

know that we can get there so we get

4:08

there and if we're really lucky we could

4:10

land and nothing

4:13

happens and then over time we die and I

4:18

mean time it could be I don't know three

4:21

weeks three months three days who

4:23

[ __ ] knows but the goal is to get to

4:26

Mars and then you die

4:31

we don't this is not the 24th

4:36

century this is not Star Trek it's not

4:39

like whizzing through space at light

4:41

speak well they discovered water so uh

4:44

now we have these carriers that are

4:46

tankers that are just going to come and

4:48

we're going to pump the [ __ ] water

4:50

out of the ground and then we we could

4:52

we could we could send it back to

4:57

Earth well [ __ ] for that matter why

5:00

don't we just set up an Intergalactic

5:03

lemonade stand on Mars for all the

5:06

passers by 10 cents a cup I'd say it's a

5:10

pretty good [ __ ]

5:12

bargain it ain't going to happen it

5:15

doesn't matter if there is

5:19

water we can't [ __ ] utilize it this

5:23

is not the 24th century

5:30

speaking of which if I may segue further

5:34

and speaking of the nass holes and case

5:37

of you uh may not have heard of this we

5:40

have currently two astronauts trapped on

5:44

the

5:45

ISS and um here's what I can tell you

5:49

the unvarnished version of this

5:54

situation I believe it

5:57

is very possible if not even

6:02

probable that those two people are not

6:06

going to make it back to

6:08

Earth and there's a whole host of

6:12

technical reasons for this I certainly

6:15

hope they

6:16

do but I think there's a very distinct

6:19

possibility that they

6:21

won't and so I am here to let you know

6:25

that to stop waving the flags and stop

6:29

cheering like

6:31

children because this is not a child's

6:35

game you

6:37

see and I can't emphasize this

6:41

enough in case they haven't told you

6:43

this through all their constant

6:46

programming because anytime you see

6:49

anything with an [ __ ] and this

6:51

engineer and that researcher but they're

6:54

always really happy and really

6:57

animated and that's not by AC accident

7:00

because they are there not only well for

7:04

their own advancement of course they're

7:08

there to sell you a product and the

7:10

product is the future and it's all

7:13

Hightech and star treky and what we

7:16

believe and and what we can do and it's

7:21

basically actually a bunch of

7:24

[ __ ] they know from all of the [ __ ]

7:28

that's already been done not just with

7:30

the Americans of course but certainly

7:33

the data from the Russians and others as

7:36

well from all these years of all their

7:40

experience they pretty much know

7:42

everything they pretty much need to

7:46

know that includes the

7:48

moon and hell for that matter to a

7:51

greater or lesser extent that also

7:53

[ __ ] includes

7:55

Mars what they're not telling you is

7:58

that the whole business business here is

8:00

just that it's a business they don't

8:04

need people in space we should wait

8:07

another I don't know eight or 10

8:10

Generations when the technology goes way

8:14

way up there then maybe we could return

8:17

to space we pretty much maxed out our Li

8:21

our limitations in space and the space

8:25

station and all of that because we are

8:29

basic basically

8:30

overshooting ourselves on this why are

8:34

we doing this why is the organization

8:37

quite purposely keep having well humans

8:41

going up into the space station over and

8:43

over again well they're doing research

8:46

and they're doing experiments and well

8:48

they may be doing a little research okay

8:51

fine and maybe they're fine doing some

8:54

experiments but I'm saying I'm telling

8:56

you you're being sold a a of

9:00

[ __ ] you're being sold a bill of

9:03

goods their number one reason for doing

9:07

this is for this because guess what that

9:11

organization and all the people that

9:14

includes the scientists the researchers

9:17

all of them they get some pretty sweet

9:19

salaries out of this and that is the

9:23

real [ __ ] reason nothing else because

9:27

what they know and the main thing and

9:29

they really do know this I'm telling you

9:32

they know this is that space is a very

9:38

very very dangerous and inhospitable

9:42

medium in and of

9:44

itself and you know what I as I said um

9:50

the fate of these two trapped people on

9:53

this which has really been played down

9:56

really been played

9:57

down that is side and like I said we

10:01

hope they make it back okay fine but

10:04

here's what I can tell you with absolute

10:08

certainty the longer they are in Space

10:12

the longer anyone is in Space the sicker

10:16

and the more it breaks you down and

10:18

destroys the [ __ ]

10:21

body

10:23

besides the natural functioning of the

10:26

body you know you the muscles atropy

10:29

from well lack of gravity sure they can

10:32

do some exercising they have some kind

10:36

of uh resistance work there are some but

10:39

regardless of all that your body is not

10:43

designed to be in a weightless State

10:47

we're not made of space particles that's

10:50

not what we are okay

10:54

okay not to mention on top of that

11:00

the station or any Space Capsule is not

11:05

totally blocked maybe they have stuff to

11:08

have a reduction in

11:11

it but they are being subjected

11:14

constantly not only to you know

11:19

radiation but to you know the cosmic

11:23

Cosmic dust and

11:25

Cosmic Cosmic dillary effects let's say

11:29

gamma radiation and such that's why for

11:33

any extended period I don't care how

11:35

much resistance equipment they have or

11:39

what have you you'll notice at any kind

11:42

of longterm anything over I don't know

11:45

34 months whether it's Americans

11:47

Russians whoever they can't even [ __ ]

11:51

walk they have to be assisted or at best

11:55

maybe they can

11:56

stand you know that's how bad it

12:00

is and the long-term effects they're not

12:04

good so at bare

12:08

minimum the longer they stay the worse

12:14

they physically Andor

12:16

mentally

12:18

become please allow me just a few

12:21

moments as a pause for the cause I know

12:24

it's a real struggle bringing home the

12:26

bacon times are tough you don't have to

12:29

tell me twice so if you enjoy what I do

12:33

here on the earnest man show would you

12:35

please consider a donation I could

12:38

really use some dough to keep things

12:40

going on around here and by clicking on

12:44

my co-i donation Link in the description

12:47

below even just a cup of coffee would be

12:50

very earnestly appreciated thank you now

12:54

back to the

12:56

episode or [ __ ] they're stuck and they

13:00

may be stuck permanently who knows it's

13:02

anyone's guess but the point is and my

13:06

bigger point on top of that

13:08

point they never should be [ __ ] there

13:12

in the first

13:15

place there should I don't know maybe at

13:18

most

13:20

maybe maybe once or twice a year if

13:22

you're going to have this International

13:24

Space Station for a very

13:27

shortterm you know I don't know research

13:30

or

13:32

experiments humans shouldn't be right

13:34

now with I'm saying with the current

13:37

technology this is not the 23rd or 24th

13:41

[ __ ]

13:43

Century this is not Star

13:47

Trek this is you can't beam me here and

13:50

we're not whizzing around in the [ __ ]

13:52

Intergalactic not even the outer

13:54

Galactic but even The Intergalactic

13:57

space it it practically at you know warp

14:01

speed light speed semi light speed

14:04

nothing like that we get in basically

14:08

very pretty tin cans and we

14:11

barely [ __ ] get around there barely

14:15

and we've been extremely lucky and

14:18

that's that's the truth and then what

14:20

happens if those [ __ ] people die if

14:23

they die in the station if they die

14:27

being transported trying to extract them

14:29

and return them from the station the key

14:33

Point here is death and like I said if

14:36

that even that's not the case they're

14:38

going to be seriously you know

14:41

debilitated who knows maybe for Life who

14:45

knows and then everyone this is what

14:49

happens this this you see this is the

14:52

thing I'm telling you that pisses me off

14:54

so much are things needless suffering

14:58

that could have been prev prented then

15:00

if they die there's a huge another huge

15:03

media

15:04

blitz and it's time to break out the

15:07

hanky so

15:13

terrible she had so much to

15:16

offer and he had so much to offer their

15:21

lives terribly cut

15:27

short they knew the

15:30

dangers doing this

15:33

one they're adults or at least they're

15:36

supposed to

15:38

be and who's ultimately

15:41

responsible you

15:44

are because like children lining up for

15:48

a [ __ ] Carnival as soon as the some

15:52

[ __ ] researcher representative PR

15:55

person from you know from NASA the nass

15:58

holes shows that but we're going to

16:01

people of ours we're going to we're

16:03

going to and we're

16:05

[Music]

16:07

allay like super [ __ ] Afflicted

16:10

[ __ ]

16:12

9-year-olds no one thinks about the

16:14

threats no one thinks about the and no

16:16

one thinks about the cost where are

16:19

these billions and billions of dollars

16:22

going they're going to those guys and

16:26

then when things don't work out then

16:28

they turn on the Queue here come the

16:31

pianos with soft angelic music comes you

16:35

violin shame sit and

16:39

died serice to your

16:42

[Applause]

16:43

[Music]

16:45

country when what I

16:47

say and what I think any [ __ ]

16:50

reasonable person

16:52

should is I never should have been there

16:55

in the first place

16:59

they need to stop

17:01

pretending that we're children this is

17:04

the 23rd or 24th

17:07

century this is not and

17:11

space is a very

17:14

unforgiving

17:19

environment so is what I had to say here

17:23

interesting or do you have an entirely

17:26

different perspective on this drop me a

17:29

line and I don't mean to pressure you

17:32

but please click subscribe you'll

17:35

automatically receive new episodes it

17:38

really helps the channel grow and it

17:41

only takes a few seconds and it would

17:44

also be very earnestly

17:48

appreciated until next Monday or Friday

17:50

if this ain't Earnest what is
