00:00:08.109 --> 00:00:10.529
It has been nearly 50 years since the last human
2
00:00:10.609 --> 00:00:15.070
being set foot upon the lunar surface. Were budget constraints
3
00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:18.329
really the driving force behind this decision, or was it
4
00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:23.070
something far more sinister? If the accounts of certain whistleblowers
5
00:00:23.109 --> 00:00:26.609
are to be believed, then it might just be that
6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:01:19.010
there is something on the moon. History tells us that
7
00:01:19.049 --> 00:01:24.650
between 1969 and 1972, American astronauts completed a total of
8
00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:29.170
six successful landings on the surface of the moon. The
9
00:01:29.189 --> 00:01:33.450
last of these missions, Apollo 17, concluded on the 19th
10
00:01:33.469 --> 00:01:39.379
of December 1972, when Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmidt and Ronald
11
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:41.920
Evans were recovered from the Pacific Ocean by the crew
12
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.799
of the USS Ticonderoga. But despite a further three Apollo
13
00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:50.230
missions having been planned to follow on from this, no
14
00:01:50.269 --> 00:01:53.409
other manned expedition from any nation has since taken place.
15
00:01:55.370 --> 00:01:58.769
The official justification behind this sudden reversal in NASA's Lunar
16
00:01:58.810 --> 00:02:02.439
Exploration Program was a shift in both the financial and
17
00:02:02.469 --> 00:02:08.039
political landscapes. At the height of the Cold War, America's
18
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.259
victory in the space race, being the first major power
19
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.219
to achieve a successful manned landing, provided Richard Nixon with
20
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.620
the prestige and propaganda he needed over his Soviet rivals.
21
00:02:20.150 --> 00:02:22.789
But the overall costs of the program had rocketed from
22
00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:26.169
an initial estimate of $ 7 billion to well over $ 20 billion,
23
00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:32.129
and this huge expenditure proved difficult to maintain. The technology
24
00:02:32.169 --> 00:02:34.409
available at the time only allowed for a period of
25
00:02:34.469 --> 00:02:37.889
mere hours on the moon's surface on each occasion, and
26
00:02:37.949 --> 00:02:41.909
with no natural resources or significant scientific material forthcoming from
27
00:02:41.930 --> 00:02:45.810
the first few trips, NASA found it impossible to secure
28
00:02:45.849 --> 00:02:49.370
the funding needed to carry out what remained of their program.
29
00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:54.099
With the landmark victory now achieved by the Western powers,
30
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.199
Russia's passion for space exploration also cooled, and as subsequent
31
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.139
missile treaties limited any further advancement in the field, dreams
32
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.430
of a lunar colony were slowly relegated to the pages
33
00:03:06.830 --> 00:03:13.560
of science fiction. In the decades that followed, an intermittent
34
00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:16.919
stream of probes and robotic landers from nations such as India,
35
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.620
China and the USA have all been dispatched to different
36
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.189
regions of our nearest heavenly body. The majority of these
37
00:03:25.229 --> 00:03:28.669
have ultimately ended up crashing into the lunar surface, either
38
00:03:28.689 --> 00:03:33.419
due to technical failure or after fulfilling their purpose. And
39
00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:36.860
yet despite all of these expeditions, we know little more
40
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.419
about the moon than we did at the start of
41
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:44.159
the 1970s. Throughout the years that have passed since the
42
00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:47.800
sudden conclusion of the Apollo program, there have been several
43
00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:51.360
reports that the crews involved encountered more than just rock
44
00:03:51.419 --> 00:03:55.819
and dust. Stories of strange tracks observed on the ground
45
00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:59.860
near landing zones, mysterious objects seen floating in the sky,
46
00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:03.650
and imposing alien structures glimpsed way off in the distance
47
00:04:04.050 --> 00:04:09.409
have all emerged. In some cases, these claims are supported
48
00:04:09.449 --> 00:04:14.729
by poor quality and grainy photographs. In others, audio files
49
00:04:14.770 --> 00:04:17.290
that have either been erased or edited are offered up
50
00:04:17.329 --> 00:04:23.379
as evidence of a conspiracy. Throughout all these stories, there is, however,
51
00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:27.220
a common thread. The moon may already be home to
52
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:37.740
existing residents, inhabitants, who do not appreciate unwanted intrusions. In 2015,
53
00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:41.060
an article began to circulate on Reddit, purporting to be
54
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.170
from a British psychologist, who had viewed confidential reports divulging
55
00:04:45.209 --> 00:04:49.050
that further moon landings had taken place since Apollo 17,
56
00:04:49.050 --> 00:04:52.850
and detailing exactly what had happened to them. And whilst
57
00:04:52.889 --> 00:04:55.389
there are many aspects of this alleged testimony that are
58
00:04:55.430 --> 00:04:59.689
either impossible to verify, or comfortably easy to debunk, there
59
00:04:59.810 --> 00:05:03.149
are elements of it which commentators claim add credence to
60
00:05:03.209 --> 00:05:08.680
similar tales surrounding NASA's official landings. The anonymous source claimed
61
00:05:08.689 --> 00:05:11.540
that the astronauts of Apollo 17 had not travelled far
62
00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:14.560
from their landing site when they came across the shattered
63
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.879
remains of another landing craft. In addition to the severely
64
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.110
damaged

vehicle itself were the bodies of a number of cosmonauts,
65
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.209
all of which appear to be Soviet in origin. but
66
00:05:26.269 --> 00:05:28.750
it was not the unexpected appearance of this debris field
67
00:05:28.790 --> 00:05:32.069
that most shocked the astronauts. More, that all of the
68
00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:35.439
wounds and damage inflicted upon the victims seemed to have
69
00:05:35.459 --> 00:05:38.699
been caused by a physical assault of some kind, rather
70
00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:43.180
than any form of decompression or collision impact. The hull
71
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.139
of the Russian spacecraft had been repeatedly torn and punctured
72
00:05:46.180 --> 00:05:49.209
by an unknown source, with the glass faceplates on the
73
00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:52.470
helmets of the dead cosmonauts all smashed in an identical fashion.
74
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.480
the American crew had immediately returned to their lander and
75
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.660
requested permission to lift off again, only to be told
76
00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:02.550
that they had to remain on the ground for several
77
00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:07.290
more hours due to technical issues. During this time, they
78
00:06:07.350 --> 00:06:11.350
sent increasingly panicked radio transmissions, claiming they could see shadowy
79
00:06:11.430 --> 00:06:15.100
figures moving around on the hills outside, gradually making their
80
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:19.980
way closer to the module. This psychologist detailed that there
81
00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:22.420
was a joint British and Russian mission to return to
82
00:06:22.459 --> 00:06:25.899
the crash site in 1989, and that he had been
83
00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:28.569
asked to assist with debriefing the crew of this expedition
84
00:06:28.589 --> 00:06:32.990
when it returned home. The Russian lander successfully arrived in
85
00:06:33.009 --> 00:06:37.670
the vicinity of Apollo 17's landing zone in December of 1990,
86
00:06:37.670 --> 00:06:40.230
only for the crew to be attacked by unknown entities.
87
00:06:41.730 --> 00:06:44.379
This attack was watched in disbelief by their controllers at
88
00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:49.069
the Okhotsk launch site, before all contact with them was lost.
89
00:06:51.889 --> 00:06:54.029
Is the surface of the moon littered with the remains
90
00:06:54.089 --> 00:06:57.569
of previous landings, the existence of which has been covered
91
00:06:57.610 --> 00:07:01.649
up by the nations who secretly dispatched them there? There
92
00:07:01.689 --> 00:07:03.889
is evidence that Russia has yet to disclose the full
93
00:07:03.930 --> 00:07:08.290
extent of their endeavours in this direction. Personnel records of
94
00:07:08.350 --> 00:07:11.810
cosmonauts involved in the programme were allegedly altered to hide
95
00:07:11.850 --> 00:07:15.910
the deaths of pilots involved in failed missions. and amateur
96
00:07:15.930 --> 00:07:19.649
radio enthusiasts claim to have
monitored desperate transmissions from dying
97
00:07:19.689 --> 00:07:25.879
cosmonauts whose craft malfunctioned in orbit. Whilst orbiting the moon
98
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:30.339
during May of 1969, Apollo 10 crew members Gene Cernan
99
00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:32.980
and John Young reported that they could hear strange noises
100
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.610
emanating from the surface below. This phenomenon consisted of an
101
00:07:37.670 --> 00:07:40.910
eerie whistling sound, which the two men described as outer
102
00:07:40.949 --> 00:07:44.959
space music, their controllers were at a loss to explain
103
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.699
what the astronauts were hearing, and it is only in
104
00:07:47.740 --> 00:07:51.360
later years that the incident has been attributed to feedback
105
00:07:51.699 --> 00:07:56.089
generated between VHF transmitters situated in different parts of their spacecraft.
106
00:07:58.149 --> 00:08:01.290
Another strange tale surfaced after the conclusion of the Apollo
107
00:08:01.290 --> 00:08:06.750
15 mission in July of 1971. Transcripts of radio transmissions
108
00:08:06.790 --> 00:08:09.509
which took place whilst crew members David Scott and James
109
00:08:09.629 --> 00:08:13.000
Irwin were outside their lander reveal that they stumbled across
110
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.139
what appeared to be vehicle tracks at the base of
111
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:20.139
Mount Hadley. They describe these impressions as linear, running from
112
00:08:20.220 --> 00:08:24.899
east to west, and totally uniform in nature. And yet,
113
00:08:25.459 --> 00:08:28.689
one of the most defining features of Apollo 15 is
114
00:08:28.730 --> 00:08:31.490
that it was the first expedition to be equipped with
115
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:38.100
an experimental lunar rover. It is, however... the claims that
116
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.080
the crew of the iconic Apollo 11 mission reported multiple
117
00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:44.779
sightings of unidentified spacecraft and structures on the moon that
118
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:49.980
have most captured the imagination of conspiracy theorists. The first
119
00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:53.179
of these encounters was reported only three days into their mission,
120
00:08:53.830 --> 00:08:57.909
when Commander Neil Armstrong requested clarification of where the third
121
00:08:57.970 --> 00:09:00.730
stage of the mission's Saturn V rocket was in relation
122
00:09:00.769 --> 00:09:05.470
to the main vessel. After a three-minute delay, he was
123
00:09:05.529 --> 00:09:09.289
informed that the Jettison rocket housing should have been situated 6,000
124
00:09:09.289 --> 00:09:12.570
miles behind the lunar module, which was still travelling away
125
00:09:12.629 --> 00:09:17.450
from Earth and towards the Moon. Armstrong's subsequent reply to
126
00:09:17.490 --> 00:09:21.269
this information would create a ripple of confusion and uncertainty
127
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.820
amongst the mission controllers. He had been notified by colleague
128
00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:29.100
Buzz Aldrin that something was travelling on a parallel course
129
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:34.759
alongside their ship. Armstrong described the object as metallic, shaped
130
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.179
like a cylinder, with what appeared to be a light
131
00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:41.240
source emanating from one end. After he had lost sight
132
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.470
of the mysterious object, he had again asked NASA for clarification,
133
00:09:46.049 --> 00:09:48.350
and was informed it was possibly a loose piece of
134
00:09:48.429 --> 00:09:51.309
metal panelling, which may have been blown clear of the
135
00:09:51.350 --> 00:09:57.730
main booster. An even more disturbing radio conversation is believed
136
00:09:57.750 --> 00:10:00.740
to have taken place between Armstrong and the humanoid, Control
137
00:10:00.789 --> 00:10:04.159
Center in the immediate aftermath of his arrival on the moon.
138
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.139
During a two-minute period, where transmissions between the mission and
139
00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:12.960
its controllers had apparently failed, it is alleged that Armstrong
140
00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:16.559
had continued to transmit on a secondary radio channel designed
141
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.899
to monitor the health and welfare of the astronauts. Although
142
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.899
not heard by the general public, it is claimed that
143
00:10:23.950 --> 00:10:26.789
transcripts from this channel show that Armstrong reported he could
144
00:10:26.809 --> 00:10:29.370
see metallic objects at the edge of a nearby crater.
145
00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:33.730
He described buildings that led down under the moon's surface,
146
00:10:34.309 --> 00:10:36.690
and what appeared to be metallic vehicles parked up in
147
00:10:36.750 --> 00:10:41.649
lines outside these constructs. Although he supposedly took many pictures
148
00:10:41.710 --> 00:10:45.730
with his chest-mounted camera, these images have never been published.
149
00:10:47.549 --> 00:10:50.230
As he was ordered to withdraw to the lander, He
150
00:10:50.269 --> 00:10:52.210
was then asked if he had managed to deploy the
151
00:10:52.250 --> 00:10:56.230
scientific equipment he had been tasked with. He replied that
152
00:10:56.269 --> 00:10:59.009
he had, but was concerned that the occupants of the
153
00:10:59.049 --> 00:11:01.929
craft he had seen were observing him, and would easily
154
00:11:01.990 --> 00:11:05.940
remove the items he had just positioned. In the years
155
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.580
since the Apollo 11 mission, a number of witnesses have
156
00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:12.820
come forward, claiming that when they had challenged Armstrong on
157
00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:15.860
the sighting in private, he had freely admitted it to them,
158
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.090
on the grounds that they did not record the conversation.
159
00:11:20.590 -->
00:11:23.269
he is alleged to have expressed great apprehension and fear
160
00:11:23.330 --> 00:11:26.690
about the craft he encountered, believing that they were trying
161
00:11:26.730 --> 00:11:31.009
to actively warn humans away from any further exploration of
162
00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:37.460
the moon. The deaths of two prominent ufologists in October
163
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.399
of 2018 have recently generated a great deal of speculation
164
00:11:41.419 --> 00:11:46.759
within the media. Although apparently unrelated, both men were former
165
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.960
members of the United States military. and had risen to
166
00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:53.440
prominence on the basis of allegations they had made regarding NASA,
167
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.600
and how it had concealed evidence of extraterrestrial life on
168
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.639
the surface of the moon. Bob Dean had served as
169
00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:03.500
a sergeant major in the US Army, and had spent
170
00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:07.350
the majority of the 1960s stationed at various military facilities
171
00:12:07.409 --> 00:12:12.389
on the European mainland. During this time, he claimed that
172
00:12:12.450 --> 00:12:15.389
NASA had secretly destroyed up to 40 rolls of film
173
00:12:15.429 --> 00:12:17.629
which had been shot by the astronauts of the Apollo
174
00:12:17.629 --> 00:12:22.309
11 mission, So underhand were the tactics allegedly deployed by
175
00:12:22.330 --> 00:12:26.159
the Space Agency, Dean often joked that the acronym secretly
176
00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:31.419
stood for, Never a Straight Answer. In addition to this claim,
177
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:34.679
Dean also stated that during his time in the Army,
178
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.409
he had read a top-secret dossier which evaluated the potential
179
00:12:38.470 --> 00:12:44.330
threat to humanity by extraterrestrial invaders. This document contained photographs
180
00:12:44.409 --> 00:12:47.639
of a number of downed alien spacecraft, and the findings
181
00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:50.700
from the autopsies which had later taken place on their pilots.
182
00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:54.460
Within a week of Dean's death at his home in
183
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:59.259
Tucson on October 11th, authorities in Lansing, New York, were
184
00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:03.450
called to the scene of a fatal traffic accident. A
185
00:13:03.470 --> 00:13:07.129
74-year-old cyclist named Carl Wolfe had been crushed to death
186
00:13:07.190 --> 00:13:10.870
when he had been hit by a tractor. Not only
187
00:13:10.909 --> 00:13:13.830
was Wolfe a former US Air Force sergeant, but he
188
00:13:13.870 --> 00:13:17.029
was also a whistleblower. who claimed to have seen terrifying
189
00:13:17.129 --> 00:13:26.970
evidence proving there were indeed aliens on the moon. In 1965,
190
00:13:26.970 --> 00:13:29.980
Wolfe had been stationed at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia,
191
00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:36.059
specialising as an electronics technician. His primary duty was the
192
00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:39.559
evaluation and repair of various photographic systems which had been
193
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.279
deployed by the Air Force during the Vietnam conflict. But
194
00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:47.320
one day, he found himself temporarily reassigned to NASA's Lunar
195
00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:52.340
Orbiter project. Wolfe described how he reported to a nondescript
196
00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:55.059
hangar on the far side of the base, which was
197
00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:59.210
largely occupied by scientists and translators dressed in civilian clothing.
198
00:14:00.690 --> 00:14:02.929
He was led to a room where he met another airman,
199
00:14:03.450 --> 00:14:06.549
who explained that NASA was having issues producing photographs from
200
00:14:06.570 --> 00:14:09.529
the most recent lunar mission, as one of their developing
201
00:14:09.570 --> 00:14:14.509
machines was malfunctioning. Having worked with his colleague to locate
202
00:14:14.570 --> 00:14:17.580
and rectify the fault, Wolf was amazed to see a
203
00:14:17.649 --> 00:14:20.480
series of images from what appeared to be the lunar landscape,
204
00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:25.740
complete with a whole city of mysterious alien structures. He
205
00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:31.370
described having seen towers, domes and mushroom-shaped buildings, all allegedly
206
00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:35.789
situated on the dark side of the moon. The NCO
207
00:14:35.830 --> 00:14:38.549
had been stunned by what he had witnessed, and had
208
00:14:38.570 --> 00:14:41.009
fully expected that he would be hearing about the discovery
209
00:14:41.029 --> 00:14:44.909
on the evening news. But as weeks turned into months,
210
00:14:45.529 --> 00:14:48.450
he eventually realised that the government had no intention of
211
00:14:48.490 --> 00:14:51.549
revealing the existence of the alien city to the world.
212
00:14:52.970 --> 00:14:58.450
In 2001, along with 20 other former servicemen and intelligence officials,
213
00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:06.500
he finally went public with his story. Certainly, many photographs
214
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.500
sent back by probes in orbit around the moon show
215
00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:13.769
some interesting anomalies. with lights appearing in craters, and the
216
00:15:13.809 --> 00:15:17.629
apparent depiction of unnatural structures, some of which are several
217
00:15:17.669 --> 00:15:21.820
miles high. There are also those who assert that the
218
00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:24.440
moon may not even be a natural satellite at all,
219
00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:29.669
at least not in the most conventional sense. Some commentators
220
00:15:29.710 --> 00:15:31.730
believe that the surface of the moon is merely an
221
00:15:31.789 --> 00:15:35.330
external shell for something far more sinister, such as a
222
00:15:35.370 --> 00:15:40.509
space station or gigantic alien spacecraft. The claim is
similar
223
00:15:40.549 --> 00:15:43.850
to that of the Hollow Earth theory, whose supporters believe
224
00:15:43.870 --> 00:15:46.210
that there is a vast network of tunnels and caverns
225
00:15:46.269 --> 00:15:51.590
under the Earth's surface, which humanity is unaware of. As
226
00:15:51.649 --> 00:15:55.649
evidence of their claims, Hollow Moon theorists point to data
227
00:15:55.669 --> 00:15:58.529
produced by seismometers which were left on the Moon's surface
228
00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:04.049
by each of the Apollo missions. Between 1972 and 1977,
229
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.659
these instruments recorded a series of geological movements underneath the
230
00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:13.019
lunar landscape, all of which varied in scale and intensity.
231
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.379
During the Apollo 12 mission, the decision was made to
232
00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:21.340
deliberately crash the ascent stage of the crew's lunar module
233
00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:26.120
back onto the surface. In the aftermath of this, monitoring
234
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.320
stations back on Earth recorded a strange reverberation that continued
235
00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:35.710
for an hour. Apparently, the moon, rang like a bell.
236
00:16:37.570 --> 00:16:41.090
For subscribers of the hollow moon theory, this is evidence
237
00:16:41.129 --> 00:16:45.610
of vibrations echoing around huge spaces, buried beneath the thin
238
00:16:45.649 --> 00:16:51.820
layer of rock and dust we see. As we sift
239
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.100
through the various stories that have emerged from the Apollo program,
240
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.399
it is ostensible that there may well have been events
241
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.960
and occurrences on the moon's surface which defy conventional explanations.
242
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.400
In some of these cases, NASA has provided varying degrees
243
00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:14.519
of justification. In others, either by action or inaction, they
244
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.220
have allowed evidence which might have assisted in divining the
245
00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:23.039
truth to be destroyed. In reality, the physical and mental
246
00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:25.980
stress produced during the lunar missions may be a factor
247
00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:31.309
and could have affected the psychology of those involved. In
248
00:17:31.329 --> 00:17:34.950
the large number of reported incidents, the experiences of the
249
00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:38.839
astronauts can easily be attributed to optical illusions and the
250
00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:42.380
unforeseen failure of the equipment and material they were utilising.
251
00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:48.059
And yet, the public imagination continues to be captured by
252
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.809
stories of sinister lunar residents. Perhaps there is indeed some
253
00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:56.269
truth behind the rumours, and in the decades to come,
254
00:17:57.089 --> 00:18:00.190
we will discover that we do indeed have celestial neighbours
255
00:18:00.730 --> 00:18:05.029
we were previously unaware of. And if that is the case,
256
00:18:05.869 --> 00:18:08.859
we can only hope they do not object to sharing
257
00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:12.369
this little corner of the galaxy with the human race.
258
00:18:46.829 --> 00:19:40.720
so so so so So,
