Speaker 1: Around.
Speaker 2: This is the seventy seven w ABC Mini cast.
Speaker 3: Greg and Michigan calls in again. Good morning, Greg, You're
Speaker 3: on with two very interesting guests.
Speaker 2: I'm sure, good morning everybody, mister positive boom shacka laca.
Speaker 2: I've got to ask you guys the question of the
Speaker 2: universe is it infinite? And if it is made by God?
Speaker 2: Can it be infinite?
Speaker 3: Very interesting? I don't know Rod, you want to jump
Speaker 3: on that one because I'm going to try to get
Speaker 3: it into more of the space conversation. But go ahead.
Speaker 3: This is interesting your thoughts on this that.
Speaker 1: Greg, I wouldn't touch that with a ten light year
Speaker 1: long call, you know how about religious persons.
Speaker 2: So I'm probably not the right guy.
Speaker 3: Well, captain please jump in. I mean it's your time
Speaker 3: on stage on the in the theater with the go ahead.
Speaker 1: No, no, I couldn't answer that question, but you know
Speaker 1: I could answer the question you asked. What was my
Speaker 1: experience on the on the recent on my recent flight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know at launch when when?
Speaker 2: When?
Speaker 1: When? When the booster lit? I we have seventy feet
Speaker 1: in here in this in this capsule and boost. When
Speaker 1: the booster lied, I thought the damn thing blew I thought.
Speaker 1: The whole ship blew up, and I said to myself, well,
Speaker 1: I'm going to become a crashing to the ground any
Speaker 1: minute now. And I've lived a good life. I'm paying
Speaker 1: this to myself. And next thing, you all this thing
Speaker 1: so lifting up into the sky, and I said, oh,
Speaker 1: I said, oh, this is how it works.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. So when you get to the top, when
Speaker 3: you get to the Apoge, I mean you go up
Speaker 3: about what about fifty some miles or that line in
Speaker 3: space is probably fifty sixty miles right right.
Speaker 1: And so I am sitting on top of the explosive
Speaker 1: bolt is right below my butt, and the exposive bolt
Speaker 1: that separate booster from the capsule exploded. And so I said, well,
Speaker 1: they didn't get me the first time, they got me
Speaker 1: this time. And the next thing you know this, this
Speaker 1: booster starts moving away from the capsule. And I was
Speaker 1: sitting there absolutely amazed, and I got a chance to
Speaker 1: look down at the Earth, and I looked at this
Speaker 1: wonderful little I've seen the curvature of the Earth, obviously
Speaker 1: as I test about it, but seeing the Earth from
Speaker 1: from that distance, so you got this wonderful neat little well,
Speaker 1: ordered ball down there this spectacular in view. Everything is
Speaker 1: organized and beautiful, and it's just incredible, and there's no
Speaker 1: boundaries between countries and states and all this sort of thing,
Speaker 1: you know, And I got, I got an incredibly spiritual
Speaker 1: a moment at that point in time, and I just
Speaker 1: could not imagine. Why, why these people on that little
Speaker 1: ball down I can't get along with each other?
Speaker 3: And I wow, that's an amazing statement, my friend, You're
Speaker 3: so correct. I mean, eight eight point seven billion people, Rod,
Speaker 3: that's amazing. Why I have to have wars? Why can't
Speaker 3: we just be? Like you said, why can't we all
Speaker 3: just good?
Speaker 1: And I came to the conclusion that every elected official
Speaker 1: needs at least three orbits around this earth, and all
Speaker 1: the bs well, it won't stop, but it will certainly
Speaker 1: slow down, uh, you know, trying to kill each other
Speaker 1: and do all these incredibly bad things to each other.
Speaker 1: Just it was my it was worth all all that
Speaker 1: whole life that I've lived just that few seconds of
Speaker 1: looking at the Earth from that distance, and it just
Speaker 1: it was ever a movie. And you already changed a
Speaker 1: lot of my values things about what this earth and
Speaker 1: everything is all about.
Speaker 3: Actually, absolutely right, Captain
