00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:03.870
Steve Cates is with us. Well, also known as Dr. Sky.
2
00:00:04.450 --> 00:00:08.619
And one good friend, one smart guy. And give us
3
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:13.019
an update. What's going to tickle our minds today, Steve Cates?
4
00:00:13.859 --> 00:00:15.679
Well, I got a lot, John. Good Sunday morning to
5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.640
you and the listeners. How about this? A Russian satellite
6
00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:22.600
is confirmed to stalking another satellite. What's that all about?
7
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:28.929
Russian satellite called Cosmos 2612 has closed in, John. on
8
00:00:28.969 --> 00:00:35.420
a surveillance satellite that's U.S. registered. It's called ICI-X36. This
9
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.899
is an imaging satellite that the Ukrainians have used to
10
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.340
be able to detect Russian activity. So this particular Cosmos 2612, John,
11
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.530
has come probably within 100 feet of this particular satellite
12
00:00:50.570 --> 00:00:53.049
to allegedly spy on it. But this is not the
13
00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:56.700
first time that this has happened. In 2020, Another Russian
14
00:00:56.740 --> 00:01:01.729
satellite called Cosmos 2542 actually came very close to one
15
00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:06.870
of our so-called secret satellites, USA 245. So this is
16
00:01:06.909 --> 00:01:10.629
quite an interesting thing, because the satellite that's being spied on,
17
00:01:10.849 --> 00:01:12.709
the one that we just talked about, the first one,
18
00:01:13.390 --> 00:01:16.730
it uses, John, something called synthetic imaging radar. What is that?
19
00:01:17.409 --> 00:01:20.310
It's radar that penetrates deep below the Earth. So the
20
00:01:20.409 --> 00:01:24.159
Ukrainians have been using this to fight against Russia. That's
21
00:01:24.189 --> 00:01:27.500
an interesting story of proof that we're now having the
22
00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:31.379
prelude to some surveillance in outer space by satellites.
23
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:36.200
Well, you know, the Space Force that President Trump has
24
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.390
launched has some interesting... I hear there's some very interesting
25
00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:45.469
aircraft up there, or craft, not aircraft, because aircraft is
26
00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:50.859
for air. Craft is, I guess, for space. And with
27
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:55.909
some interesting weapons... and I hear that we're doing a
28
00:01:56.510 --> 00:01:59.469
good job protecting America and the free world.
29
00:02:00.569 --> 00:02:03.189
Absolutely, John, and it's been identified by the Secretary of
30
00:02:03.209 --> 00:02:07.200
the Air Force and others, even Raging Kane, our general
31
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.199
who heads, of course, the entire military, that apparently America
32
00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:14.800
has some sort of weapons in space. But, John, here's
33
00:02:14.819 --> 00:02:19.639
a great story. We shift gears. Japan's Martian moon exploration mission.
34
00:02:19.659 --> 00:02:22.479
You and I love to talk about Mars. So it
35
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.800
was launched last week. And what it is, John, it's
36
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.580
a spacecraft headed to one of the moons of Mars
37
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:29.599
called Phobos.
38
00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:37.680
Is that the one that supposedly shot down the other probe? Yes.
39
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.419
And this is an interesting continuation of the story, John,
40
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.840
because nobody really knows what the nature of Phobos and
41
00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:48.219
the other moon called Deimos. And Phobos is only 12
42
00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:51.520
miles in diameter, John. And it has a crater... on
43
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.659
it called Stinkney that's about nine miles across. So whatever
44
00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:57.530
that means, how this little moon was formed, but why
45
00:02:57.750 --> 00:03:01.289
is this an important news story? This is the first time, John,
46
00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:05.069
when this spacecraft reaches this particular moon in August of 2027,
47
00:03:05.069 --> 00:03:08.930
it will then deploy a little rover down to the
48
00:03:08.990 --> 00:03:12.110
surface to scoop up some material and bring it back
49
00:03:12.150 --> 00:03:16.180
to Earth maybe sometime after 2030. So the first time, John,
50
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.169
that we're going to actually get something from that area
51
00:03:19.250 --> 00:03:22.810
of Mars and the strangest moon, because over the next
52
00:03:22.830 --> 00:03:25.990
few million years, that Phobos, John, is going to literally
53
00:03:26.770 --> 00:03:30.060
run in and crash onto the surface of Mars.
54
00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:32.719
Only if the Martians allow us to get it.
55
00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:36.919
Absolutely, John. And we end off with the mystery of
56
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.699
the week. And this has been in the news, John,
57
00:03:38.740 --> 00:03:41.919
but it needs further clarification. The question is, how does
58
00:03:41.979 --> 00:03:45.889
the new Tesla Roadster, a so-called flying car, actually work?
59
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.780
And this is fascinating. The new Tesla Roadster does not
60
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.860
truly fly, John. Instead, it uses high-pressure cold gas thrusters,
61
00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:59.099
a large tank or two made out of composite materials.
62
00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:01.860
And what happens on this, John, it also has the
63
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.810
capability to fire those little so-called rockets with air. And
64
00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:09.150
it also has the capability, as many saw when they
65
00:04:09.189 --> 00:04:12.629
saw the demonstration of this car upside down, I thought
66
00:04:12.650 --> 00:04:14.550
it was fake, I thought it was AI, but it
67
00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:18.000
was real. It also has the ability to have vacuum
68
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.560
suction in the form of some two Gs of force
69
00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:24.819
to hold something upside down. But the real truth, John,
70
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.800
is it's only something that can hop and jump and
71
00:04:27.819 --> 00:04:31.230
move forward, but not fly, as we saw in Back
72
00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:34.110
to the Future, when the classic line of the doc,
73
00:04:34.189 --> 00:04:36.910
as many people remember the great trilogy of those movies,
74
00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:40.310
he said to his partner in the car, and I quote,
75
00:04:40.910 --> 00:04:44.009
where we're going, they don't need roads. So lots of
76
00:04:44.069 --> 00:04:46.990
mystery around this Tesla car. I wonder, John, how much
77
00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:49.269
that thing would cost. But how could you use it
78
00:04:49.310 --> 00:04:52.329
in traffic? And if many people have them, you might
79
00:04:52.370 --> 00:04:53.910
have some mid-air collisions, you think?
80
00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:56.889
Well, you know, I think of flying cars. I think
81
00:04:56.930 --> 00:05:00.129
of the Jetsons 50 years ago, 60 years ago.
82
00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:03.800
Well, if we can perfect that. There's other companies out there, John,
83
00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:08.379
that are perfecting the true drone-type technology for cars. But again,
84
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.620
who's going to manage the skyways instead of the roadways?
85
00:05:12.269 --> 00:05:14.139
That's another subject for another time.
86
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.860
Well, the FAA has not done a good job lately,
87
00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:17.779
even with aircraft.
88
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.300
I would totally agree with you, John, as we conclude
89
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.199
Sunday morning here with many of the things that people
90
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.639
probably don't hear about. And we try to bring them
91
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.379
together to open our minds about great mysteries and current
92
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:32.279
events that we thought are important.
93
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.379
Steve Cates, otherwise known as Dr. Sky. Thank you so
94
00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:39.720
much for coming on. And I listened to you at, uh, uh,
95
00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:43.500
midnight to 2 AM on, uh, Saturday morning and midnight
96
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.360
to 2 a.m. Sunday morning. And thank you so much,
97
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:47.490
and we'll talk again soon.
98
00:05:48.430 --> 00:05:50.230
Thank you, John. Have a good Sunday, and thanks to
99
00:05:50.250 --> 00:05:50.709
the listeners.
