Laurel van der Toorn 0:24
Hello and welcome. It's The Last Show. You'll learn a lot of things on tonight's program.

How did iPhones end up being used in space?

Laurel van der Toorn 0:29
Let's tell you what we'll cover right now. I'm about to do that. Not a good introduction. All right, here's some info about the lineup tonight. When you think of airline safety, do you think about your carry-ons? Because what's inside of them might matter and might cause a fire in the plane. Airlines are cracking down on portable battery chargers after a lot of lithium battery scares have happened in the skies. So is that old sketchy power bank you carry around the next in-flight fire hazard? That is what we'll discuss in about 10 minutes time. All right, there's going to be lots more to cover on tonight's program.

What issues did NASA face with Outlook during the Artemis II mission?

Laurel van der Toorn 1:03
You'll learn a lot, but there's so much we'd better just dive in. And the Artemis mission is on its way back for the moon, preparing for a landing, I believe off the coast of San Diego. around there. I'm here with Carmi Levy. It is time for technology time, but we're not just talking about the mission and its visit to the moon. We're talking about iPhones in space. We're talking about a Microsoft Outlook glitch that wouldn't go away in space. Carmi, welcome to the show. Good to be with you, David. Thanks for having me.

How is AI being misused in immigration applications?

Laurel van der Toorn 1:30
The mission was kind of shorter than I thought. When's it due? I guess it's due like in an hour or like a few hours ago.
Carmi Levy 1:39
Yeah, this is not your typical, you know, International Space Station, you know, six month increment. This is a 10 day mission. So it is scheduled for reentry just off the coast of San Diego in the Pacific Ocean Friday at 8.06 p.m. Eastern, 5.06 local time Pacific. So, yeah, like basically it's out and back. So it took about four days to get there, four days to get back. They orbited the Earth for a little bit before they kind of checked everything before they headed off to the moon.

What are the benefits of community Trap-Neuter-Return programs for cats?

Carmi Levy 2:09
So, yeah, it's it's pretty quick. And, you know, given the size of this thing, there isn't a lot of room on board for food and consumables and other things. So this is about how long moon missions last.
Laurel van der Toorn 2:19
I was expecting like months and months like the ISS. It feels like they just left and now they're back. It's just a short trip.
Carmi Levy 2:25
Yeah, it's so quick. But boy, did they go far. The world record, right? They went further than Apollo 13 from Earth.

How can childhood stress impact adult health outcomes?

Carmi Levy 2:32
So for a little while there, I think the official number from NASA is 406,771 kilometers at its furthest from Earth as it was rounding the moon when they were out of orbit. When they were out of position. The previous record was just over 400,000 from Apollo 13 in 1970.
Laurel van der Toorn 2:52
What's the circumference of the Earth? About 40,000? Like if you were to drive all the way around the Earth at the equator or whatever. I think it's about 40,000 kilometers.
Carmi Levy 3:01
So it's 10 times.
Laurel van der Toorn 3:02
Yeah.

Is true empathy possible between humans and AI?

Laurel van der Toorn 3:02
Further than going around the earth once is how far they were.
Carmi Levy 3:07
Does that make sense? Exactly. Now, of course, you would run out of oxygen if you tried that in a real car. But yeah, it's very, very far. Depends on the car, I guess. Yeah, I guess. And the photos they've been posting from the lunar flyby of the moon. of like the earth the earth they're calling it earth set photo which is kind of like a successor to the earth rise photo from apollo 8 i mean these are iconic photos and i've been going through uh nasa's gallery online and downloading the high-res versions of them then they are
Laurel van der Toorn 3:40
just beyond stunning and for anyone who hasn't seen them do go to the nasa.gov website and look for them because they are awesome and a lot of these photos were taken with just iphones which is wild they allowed the astronauts to bring iphones in space i don't know why they didn't allow them to bring smartphones on like the iss for so long and then they changed the rules but why shouldn't they have their smartphones i'm trying to think like this was a big story because the astronauts were finally allowed to bring iphones why weren't they allowing them before
