The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Real quick, guys, I just saw something quick about the difference between the shuttle tiles and the ablative Artemis.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Yes, it's single-use.

It's absolutely single-use, as we said, and designed to burn away.

But the reason why they went from a tile to this AV code, or is it AV code?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

This AV code, ablative...

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

is that the lunar reentry is higher energy.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

So these shuttle tiles are meant for low Earth orbit.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

They're not meant for lunar reentry.

The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

So more heat is generated.

So you need something apparently ablative and better than the tile.

The Orion capsule.

Somebody says to you, guess what this tissue is in the body?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

That's what AI does when you talk to it, when it makes code out of your words.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

In what way?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Oh yeah, they're going to get sued into oblivion.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

Worse than that, Bob.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1084 - Apr 18 2026

We're kind of screwed.
