True Patriot Love - Moon Base by 2033？ Artemis Mission Explained

00:00:00.000 hello my fellow patriots it is me little brady wedham and i am sitting down with our producer

00:00:10.240 nick dolinski to give you a lunar update yes artemis 2 is in its fifth or sixth or seventh

00:00:17.040 day now and uh we're gonna give you a little update of what's going on so nick what do you

00:00:22.080 know off the hop since we left april 1st what has happened well uh the uh the ships passed around

00:00:28.000 uh the moon now they lost contact with it was it for 40 minutes yeah 40 minutes on the on the dark

00:00:33.960 side of the moon now that could be a coincidence to the tinfoil hat wearing people but uh i've

00:00:38.820 heard but it's actually not the dark side of the moon what is it enough it's just the moon that

00:00:43.040 side of the moon that we don't see okay so um the moon's tightly locked with earth so only one side

00:00:47.720 of it faces earth at all times it doesn't spin so uh yeah so it does the other side does get sun

00:00:52.700 but we just don't see it is that where all the conspiracy theorists think that there's a base

00:00:57.400 Is it on that side?

00:00:58.720 I'm not privy to this kind of...

00:01:01.380 Okay, I won't go too far into the rabbit hole.

00:01:04.120 But the things that we know as of today, there's been some smells.

00:01:08.500 Oh, smells.

00:01:09.040 Apparently, it's been a very stinky, stinky flight.

00:01:12.220 They weren't sure if there was leakage from the septic, if it was some sort of sealant on a door,

00:01:16.180 or maybe they're just tooting in bags up there all close to each other.

00:01:19.720 But it supposedly has been one of the stinkiest flights ever.

00:01:22.500 Really?

00:01:23.160 They've got to solve that for the next mission.

00:01:25.060 Let's hope so.

00:01:25.640 So you want to actually update us a little bit about what's happening after this one, but we'll round this out.

00:01:31.540 So 10 days is the duration.

00:01:33.740 So we're on the 7th, which means in three days, we'll be having our Canadians and our American astronauts back in the atmosphere and hopefully home safe and sound.

00:01:42.820 Hopefully.

00:01:43.220 And I think that the trajectory was to go around the moon and see not only map out this next few missions, but to see if it's still possible.

00:01:52.620 Yeah, yeah.

00:01:53.340 It's really exciting.

00:01:54.380 And I mean, the buzzword for the Artemis missions was ignition, meaning that they finally want to get back into the space race.

00:02:02.000 They finally want to start pushing boundaries, getting boots on ground, setting up bases, things like that.

00:02:07.160 So the ultimate goal for the Artemis missions, and it's really ambitious, it's surprisingly ambitious, is to buy a 2033 to have a full moon base.

00:02:17.640 So that's a moon base with like living quarters?

00:02:19.640 Yeah.

00:02:20.220 Really?

00:02:21.100 Yeah, so then they have regular, I mean, they're going to be launching Artemis rockets every six months.

00:02:27.400 Oh, my goodness.

00:02:28.340 So this is like, this is two, and we're looking at probably by 2033, maybe 33 of these things, if not more.

00:02:35.520 Yeah, so I think they're up to Artemis 16 in terms of their plans.

00:02:38.760 Okay.

00:02:39.160 I think it's that.

00:02:40.360 So the next mission, Artemis 3, is not going to the moon.

00:02:44.400 It's going to stay in Earth's orbit, and they're testing out the lunar lander.

00:02:49.000 And there's currently a bidding war, a competition between Blue Origin and SpaceX on designing that lander.

00:02:59.900 Okay.

00:03:00.560 Yeah.

00:03:01.300 So they want to be the first ones to basically, because I guess that would be the lander that they'd be using all of the time then.

00:03:07.020 It would be, probably.

00:03:07.960 So that contract is going to be like a long-term, lifelong contract type deal.

00:03:12.080 It's a big deal.

00:03:12.880 Okay.

00:03:13.120 It's a big deal.

00:03:13.520 So I guess the previous idea was that SpaceX had it all, but now they're bringing competition.

00:03:20.360 They're saying, hey, you got to perform better than Blue Origin.

00:03:23.780 So they both have completely different designs for the lander.

00:03:27.080 And, yeah, we'll see which one wins.

00:03:30.080 So, yeah, they'll be testing that lander in space for Artemis 3.

00:03:36.700 And then Artemis 4, I think, is when we get boots on the ground, apparently.

00:03:41.220 So boots on the ground like boots on the moon.

00:03:42.940 boots on the moon we're gonna be hopping around again like we were in the the 60s and the 70s

00:03:47.380 yeah not until 70 not since 72 yeah 72 they've been uh they've actually landed on the moon and

00:03:52.840 uh this is all really exciting to me i'm big into space and all this kind of stuff so uh it's really

00:03:57.460 really cool um the other really interesting all the interesting stuff about the the actual moon

00:04:03.700 base is uh pretty intriguing so interesting interesting fact um so do you know what regolith

00:04:10.420 is moon regolith no i have no idea explain it to me it's essentially the dirt the the powder on the

00:04:15.620 moon the dust surface the dust yeah yeah now regolith is really weird it's uh it has a really

00:04:22.180 so i i wrote this down it was the word itself is weird oh yeah the moon's really weird and they

00:04:26.820 didn't realize this until they actually landed and actually looked at the stuff that you know

00:04:30.820 this isn't just normal dirt this isn't just a typical sand that you see on earth it's it's

00:04:35.460 really it's so it's composition so its composition is 40 to 45 oxygen 20 silicon that's that's in

00:04:42.900 oxides okay yeah yeah that makes sense that makes sense so 10 aluminum five to fifteen percent iron

00:04:50.180 calcium eight to ten percent and magnesium five to ten percent these are all mostly in oxides so

00:04:56.180 that it's because i always thought that the dust that's on the moon is basically what's

00:04:59.700 been floating around space and collecting inside of that atmosphere and kind of just landing

00:05:03.860 it's uh it's pulverized dust from um from meteors okay hitting the hitting the surface so it's the

00:05:09.620 that whatever comes off of it so it's all just the makings of these meteors which is very different

00:05:13.540 from earth earth has this it has um what you call uh tectonic activity so everything gets churned

00:05:19.780 and everything's so this is just stuff that's landed on the surface and created this huge uh

00:05:24.500 pile of uh of regolith and so what they want to do is with all these materials first of all it's

00:05:30.340 it's 40 to 45 percent of oxygen so it's actually possible that we could get the oxygen for these

00:05:35.380 astronauts staying on the moon from this is insane yeah from the regolith yeah so it's actually

00:05:42.420 sustainable there's enough oxygen inside of that that there is a way to kind of take that out there

00:05:47.460 and reuse that for oxygen for breathing yeah so that it's theoretically they've uh um as you say

00:05:54.900 we need a lot of energy so the big issue right now is finding that energy source on the moon for

00:06:01.460 this moon base so it would have to be some kind of nuclear reactor um also solar but uh for this

00:06:08.500 amount of energy they're talking about like being able to melt down lunar regolith um you need a

00:06:15.380 tremendous amount of energy this this whole thing sounds crazy and i know that we've done we sold

00:06:20.340 So Jim Lang and Mike Wixson, they did the launch day,

00:06:23.120 and then the lovely Jay Martin, a comedian,

00:06:25.420 sat down with Mike to basically get kindergarten schooling,

00:06:30.160 I guess that's the direction he wanted to take it,

00:06:32.640 on why we're going to the moon.

00:06:35.040 But that question still holds on.

00:06:37.840 Why are we doing this now?

00:06:39.300 Is this blatant curiosity again,

00:06:42.440 and it's been so long that we've re-sparked the curiosity

00:06:46.220 and we want to go there?

00:06:47.060 Or is there an overall plan and mission

00:06:48.940 as to why this is something that can benefit humanity um i i wish this was just uh motivated

00:06:55.020 by pure uh human curiosity but of course there's a political side to this and it has to do with

00:07:00.940 china uh china has set their sights on the moon setting up um moon base they already have a lunar

00:07:06.460 rover okay on the moon um and this is essentially u.s defending their position of having that that

00:07:13.340 title of uh of moon conqueror i guess why can't this just be global curiosity where this is the

00:07:19.500 old this is the i guess the only thing we share in common which is like let's figure out why

00:07:25.100 let's figure out more absolutely and that's my position as well it's not about this nationalistic

00:07:30.940 who cares whatever um you know if it takes this in order to uh because the cold war was the same

00:07:37.740 thing we wanted to beat the russians right so this is why we actually ended up getting up there so

00:07:41.900 So maybe we do need that spark of competition to get to the point where it does spark the curiosity again.

00:07:47.560 I mean, I'll take it.

00:07:48.960 However, however we got there, we're there.

00:07:51.940 And it sounds like we're going to be there forever and ever as of the 2030s.

00:07:55.900 Yeah. Yeah. And another interesting part is why, you know, and I thought this myself, why is there a Canadian astronaut on this mission?

00:08:04.520 Not that we don't deserve to be there or that we're not fit or something like that.

00:08:08.880 But how was this allowed?

00:08:10.900 This purely American, you know, this is clearly some kind of nationalistic move.

00:08:14.560 Why is there a Canadian? 0.66

00:08:15.500 And there's a reason for it. 1.00

00:08:16.520 Tell me.

00:08:17.140 It's because of the Canadarm, largely.

00:08:19.380 Jeremy Hansen's part of the Canadarm.

00:08:21.840 I don't think he's part of the Canadarm.

00:08:24.260 But essentially what happened is that this development of the Canadarm

00:08:27.560 was extremely helpful for the space program.

00:08:30.360 I mean, it helped repair the Hubble.

00:08:32.000 It solved a huge problem.

00:08:33.440 And we've been updating the Canadarm and this technology continually.

00:08:42.200 And eventually, part of that deal of developing that Canadarm, we essentially negotiated that there be a Canadian astronaut on the next mission.

00:08:50.580 So that's how we got there.

00:08:52.000 But I would like to think that it's just that our American friends say, hey, we're not going somewhere cool without our really cool neighbors, right?

00:08:58.960 I mean, the one thing that I do love seeing is every time that they've been doing an interview with this team is you're seeing the American flag and the Canadian flag right beside each other.

00:09:07.660 And that, to me, just seems beautiful.

00:09:10.540 I love it.

00:09:11.200 I love it.

00:09:12.100 And I've always been, even on this channel and before this channel started, always been a major pusher of that Canada and the U.S. are so more alike than they even realize when it comes to civilians.

00:09:23.520 We look at the world pretty much the same.

00:09:25.820 Yes, there's different adjustments and things like that, but we're North America at the end of the day.

00:09:30.820 We're all the same.

00:09:32.020 I mean, it's a wonderful sentiment, and I hope this harbors that even more.

00:09:36.540 Now, I don't know if you heard, but the U.S. president spoke to the astronauts.

00:09:42.480 I did hear, but can you fill in our audience on how that conversation went?

00:09:47.160 I have a sneaking suspicion, Brady, that these astronauts are not MAGA.

00:09:52.300 Why is that?

00:09:53.580 Why is that, Nick?

00:09:54.580 Let's go to the clip.

00:09:55.820 so proud to be a part of this program well i have to say i spoke to a very special person

00:10:03.040 wayne gretzky who i think you know the great one and i spoke to your prime minister and many other

00:10:09.040 friends i have in canada they are so proud of you and you have a lot of courage i'm not sure if

00:10:15.360 they'd want to do that i'm not even sure if the great one would want to do that to be honest with

00:10:19.320 you but you have a lot of courage doing what you're doing a lot of bravery and a lot of a lot

00:10:23.920 a genius but they're very very proud of you well after that clip I may agree with you Nick oh my

00:10:40.240 goodness what wow if there's not early enough going on down there that we have to add in some

00:10:48.880 of these other uh fun things but yeah definitely not a mega crew no no um i did laugh quite a bit

00:10:56.700 watching that but uh yeah um what else do we have the cover here i'm trying to think of what else i

00:11:02.920 wrote down a bunch of stuff here give me your notes nick okay yeah um the other thing we're

00:11:07.280 going to talk about is 3d printing 3d printing on the moon yes what are we printing we printing

00:11:11.580 the whole base out that's that's the idea i've heard so this regolith could be the actual

00:11:16.920 material you they're going to use that as the material yeah this is the most perfect moon dust

00:11:22.480 ever it is it's amazing it's incredible that this this regolith is is wild so yeah so the idea is

00:11:28.380 to eventually build permanent structures on the moon using this 3d printing by 2050 we're going

00:11:33.060 to have bottles of regolith for sale on walmart just straight from the moon get it here the

00:11:37.380 miracle drug i'll buy it okay i'll buy it well we can 3d print stuff and we can also breathe it in

00:11:42.380 and and not die so sure so what other what are we looking towards over the next couple days with the

00:11:47.660 team coming back and when's the next launch uh next so i'm not sure exactly what day they're

00:11:53.100 coming back i heard it was 10 days it would be 10 days so it technically would be the 11th yeah yeah

00:11:58.220 but uh so the next launch i believe is 2020 2028 okay i think that's the next mission uh oh wait

00:12:05.740 that's that's boots in the ground so i think it's uh within the next year artemis 3. so this is

00:12:10.140 is happening fast that's the thing is that these missions are coming really fast and it's a lot

00:12:14.160 more ambitious than what we've seen from nasa in in decades so over the next 365 days it looks like

00:12:19.620 they're going to be testing out the luminar uh artemis 3 and then we're heading towards 2028

00:12:24.620 where we're going to put some actual feet on the ground again i can't wait to see these flags

00:12:29.040 planted in the moon yeah it's you know for years i used to sit in my backyard with a telescope and

00:12:35.580 look at little teeny tiny things floating off of the moon and some people are like oh those are

00:12:39.460 spaceships and it's like no it's dust but it is so beautiful to look at that just through a

00:12:44.620 magnifying glass i can only imagine being on that surface and looking back and seeing the blueberry

00:12:49.380 planet that is earth right yeah it's incredible absolutely and uh apparently when they did pass

00:12:54.800 around the moon they saw some new features they named a crater as they're going around and

00:13:00.400 apparently the naked eye is much better at spotting these features than cameras that's what

00:13:03.640 that's what i heard in interviews so yeah it's it's pretty incredible and they saw an earth rise

00:13:09.100 as they passed passed through maybe we can put up that picture it's a pretty pretty amazing picture

00:13:14.540 there it is yeah and uh yeah i can't wait i absolutely can't wait well um as much as we're

00:13:21.900 very very happy and proud that we're going back to the moon there is a group of people out there

00:13:26.220 that are very devastated over the past week and i feel for them whether i believe in their movement

00:13:31.420 or not flat earthers i'm sorry you've had a bad week uh hopefully um the next couple years you

00:13:37.980 you guys find something else to focus your time on because that theory has

00:13:42.020 completely been squashed with this new group.

00:13:44.780 Nick, thank you very much for giving us a lunar update.

00:13:46.940 We'll get another one out of you by the end of the week when they're coming

00:13:48.960 back here.

00:14:07.980 Patriotic means looking out for each other and fixing things together.

00:14:17.360 True patriotism is being in a country you love, surrounded by people you love, and great weather.

00:14:23.440 Being a patriot is being a part of your community and caring for it.

00:14:26.400 It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, patriotism is the one thing we all share.

00:14:31.580 It's okay to be critical of government and still be a patriot.

00:14:35.860 It's gratitude to your country.

00:14:37.180 Of course I'm a patriot. I'm Canadian. It's my home.

00:14:40.680 Well, actually, true patriot love is the mission.
