You can't just walk out of your capsule and have a good day.

And if you walk out of your capsule, you're not falling back down to Earth with a parachute.

A lot of experiments.

Yeah.

A lot of experiments, a lot of spy shit, a lot of, you know, communication satellites.

They're mainly doing it for private public industry.

And that is what has guided NASA for the last 30, 40 years is that public private participation that gives them the money to do what they're going to do so they can do experiments, but then gives private industry and governments money.

the ability to put stuff in space, essentially.

But now, but deep space exploration, which this isn't even really technically deep space, the moon isn't, but it's past a certain line where life just becomes very... It's not... There's nothing friendly to life at all, including the radiation from the sun, the space junk, the, you know, rocks falling from the asteroid belt.

I mean, it's all... Nothing is easy about this.

And the moon dudes and the moon chick...

Said, yeah, I volunteer.

I'll do that.

Sure, why not?

And I watched something and they breezed over it and I wish they hadn't.

But they said, what are they going to do when they're in this first rotation around Earth waiting for the slingshot?

And they said, well, we do this specifically so that they can practice some maneuvers, including emergencies.

What are we doing in an emergency that you can only replicate up there?

You can't do it down here, right?

You got to do it when there's weightlessness so that you can time yourself and figure out how to maneuver.
