Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
unfiltered discussions unexpected guests no topic is off limits from sex and relationships to the human condition personal anxieties and so much more the only talk show of its kind in the world world this is the last show with david cooper
Chapter 2: What updates does Jesse Rogerson provide about NASA's Artemis 2 moon mission?
Hey, welcome in. Pull up a bar stool. Hope you're kicking off the weekend in style. It's The Last Show. On the program, you'll learn a lot of things, and here's what some of those will be. You've talked to a chatbot, an AI. It agrees with you. Does that make you more confident, more extreme, more convinced you're right about everything?
Halfway through the hour, we'll talk about how flattering chatbots can mess with your beliefs, but also mess with your ego. So be careful. The internet might be making you think you're smarter than you are. Then after that, a study that just is so ridiculous. A study proving that late birthday cards at work upset people big time.
Workplace slights make people less likely to show up, be less productive. They tank morale. You better get that birthday card on time and you're not going to want to miss that interview towards the end of the hour. All right, that's some of tonight's lineup. There will be more.
Chapter 3: What was the significance of the recent medical evacuation from the International Space Station?
Let's dive in.
Part of the last show with David Cooper. Call us and join the conversation. 1-888-505-6644.
Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of Jesse Rogerson, a professor of astrophysics at York University. We are talking science news and we're going to talk his wheelhouse. Let's go into space and get some updates from our orbit and beyond. Jesse, welcome to the show.
Hey, David.
Chapter 4: What unexpected findings were revealed in the flu transmission study?
It's always good to be here.
Artemis? Artemis.
Tell me about it. Okay, so this is a big deal. And for some reason, it feels like the news has not covered it. I watch the news. I don't know. Maybe that means that tells you how old I am. But the news is not really focusing on it yet.
Chapter 5: What are rogue waves and why are they significant?
But the Artemis 2 rocket has rolled out to the launch pad. It's launching no earlier than February 2nd, but that's soon or shortly thereafter. And this is a mission that's going to the moon. It's the first time we've sent humans to the moon since 1972. Four astronauts are going to fly to the moon, one of which is a Canadian, the first person who's not American to fly to the moon.
This is a big deal. Jeremy Hansen, our Canadian astronaut, is going to be flying there. I'm pretty pumped about this, and I have not heard enough talk about it.
Of all the reasons, the political stories of the day that are petty, that are disheartening, that are dysfunctional, that we hear about, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, talking about all the time. I'm glad we're covering them.
Chapter 6: How have mosquitoes changed their feeding behavior and what is the cause?
But one of the great downsides is stories like this get buried. And this is a great disappointment to me because this is exciting. We're going back to the moon.
It's been decades, right? And so much great progress was made in the 70s, and then it just got put on the back burner for a variety of reasons. And this is like that exactly. It's a wholesome story. It's got really good science to do, really great engineering demonstrations to do. We have international collaboration between NASA and the CSA. We have our own Canadian, Jeremy Hansen.
Chapter 7: What does the research say about the impact of workplace slights on employee morale?
We have the first woman to go, the first person of color to go. It's a great crew with a lot of experience. It's... We're going to fly high for like it's going to be like a two week mission, like a 10 day mission. And we're going to have a good 10 days of hopefully tons of coverage of it. But right now it's flying under the radar. I hope it starts, you know, getting traction in the mainstream.
Now, are they bringing, you know, technical scientific equipment to sequence the DNA and analyze the matter of the moon rocks to check if there is definitively cheese in them?
Yeah.
You know what the funny thing is, is that they're not actually landing.
Chapter 8: How can adults successfully make lasting friendships?
So perhaps I should have said that. You know, I'm saying, but they're going to the moon to orbit the moon. So when this is part of the Artemis project.
So they won't know if it's cheese quite yet. No, I'm kidding. What kind of experiments will they be doing?
They get close enough where they can get a whiff of it. So if it's hard cheese, you know, they'll be able to. Anyway, the kind of experiments they're doing. So they're going to be ranging. They're going to be bouncing radar off the ground. They were going to take a high resolution photos.
They're also doing a full suite check of all of the instrumentation on board, all of the engineering on board, because the next mission, Artemis three, which will be in the next two or three years, will be landing on the surface.
And importantly, they're going to be looking at where they're going to be landing, which is going to be at the south pole of the moon where there's craters that are in permanent darkness. And those craters in permanent darkness have H2O in the bottom of those craters.
That's water, you nerd.
Yeah, well, I can't help it. You know, looking at the landing site, doing the engineering checks, all of that stuff that goes with like a dress rehearsal of the next mission. So that's what the kind of things they're doing.
Let's stay in space, go a little bit closer to Earth to the International Space Station. Kind of an amazing medical evacuation happened recently. There was an emergency on board. They got the astronaut off. Tell me a little bit about it.
Yeah, did you hear about this? This is the first time in the history of the ISS that they've had to do a medical evacuation. where something was happening on board. One of the crew members was having some sort of medical issue that could not be dealt with on board. And that's actually saying something because there's a ton of medical equipment on board. It's like a mini emergency room up there.
