All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Here's our toll free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
It is 800 941 Sean if you want to join us.
You know, in my life, during these moments when America launches rockets into space, we all remember one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Now, you might remember the case of.
Barry Butch Wilmore, U.S. Navy captain, NASA astronaut.
By the way, he himself has flown three space missions and he spent 464 days in orbit.
He's a Tennessee native, a test pilot, over 8,000 flight hours, 663 carrier landings.
And by the way, that in and of itself is a feat.
And he piloted the space shuttle Atlantis and commanded the International Space Station.
And recently led Boeing Starliner on its first crewed flight, a mission planned for eight days.
It stretched into nine months.
And remember, we're waiting.
When are we going to rescue this guy?
Now, he has now come out with a memoir.
It's called Stuck in Space An Astronaut's Hope Through the Unexpected.
The book just got released, and it's in bookstores everywhere.
You can get it on Amazon.com.
We'll put it on Hannity.com.
I haven't got my copy yet.
I'm dying to get a copy.
You know, he has been trained his entire life and career for these high risk missions and crisis leadership, but then you're kind of lost in space.
And then it got so pathetic.
We kept saying, Joe, when are you going to bring this brave astronaut home?
When are we going to rescue this guy?
Well, Elon Musk came to the rescue, and he tells the entire story.
Anyway, this is him, himself, in his own words, talking about it.
And here's what he said.
What would you like to say to President Trump and Elon Musk?
I respect you.
I trust you.
You've given me no reason not to trust you, either one of them.
What they say, I can't say what they say.
I haven't lived that.
But I have no reason not to believe anything they say because they've earned my trust.
And for that, I am grateful that our national leaders actually are coming in and taking part in our human spaceflight program, which we see is hugely important, global significance, and they take an active role.
And, um, based on the past and what we see now, uh, with them doing that is, it's, uh, it's refreshing, not just refreshing, it's, it's empowering, it's, it's, uh, it's strengthening, uh, for our nation.
I think it's a good thing for our nation when the national leaders, especially something that has high visibility, are involved in the process.
I'm grateful for that.
All right, Butch Wilmore joins us now, veteran NASA astronaut and a captain.
And his memoir, Stuck in Space, an Astronaut's Hope Through the Unexpected, now in bookstores around the country, Amazon.com.
We've put it up on Hannity.com.
Sir, God bless you.
Captain, we appreciate you being with us.
Welcome aboard this show.
God bless you, Sean.
I so appreciate the opportunity to share some thoughts with you.
And that piece that you just aired, those comments that I made, that was a year ago.
And they're no different now.
I still have the greatest respect for our leadership, for our president, for Elon Musk, and what they continue to do going forward.
And I'm grateful that to be a part of this nation, privileged to serve this nation in the way that the Lord has given me the opportunity to do so.
So thank you for the opportunity.
Let's talk about getting stuck in space the way that you did.
And there were many of us praying for you, many of us bewildered that the government was not moving expeditiously to get you home.
That frustrated me.
You know, walk us through what it was like for you.
Well, I'll give you my perspective, Sean.
I appreciate that.
We train, we prepare.
You mentioned, you know, decades of preparation for these high risk endeavors.
And it's not just me, it's many.
And that is true.
I mean, I grew up professionally in the Navy, flew combat missions off aircraft carriers, as you mentioned.
And all of that preparation leading up and throughout all my career with NASA leading up to this event where I was commander of Starliner.
Again, the mindset is it's a privilege to serve.
And when these events happened, there was no frustration.
There was no fretting on my part.
I mean, you're serving your country.
Whatever transpires, I mean, many times, so many thousands of people around our nation have been extended on deployment, myself included.
And this was just that.
And you go with it, you flow with it, and you do the best with what you've been given to take charge and carry out the plan of the day, as we say in the Navy.
And the preparation was.
At the top, as you would expect, there was nothing on the space station that we, Sonny and I, could not do, could not perform, including spacewalks, which we did.
We were prepared to do all of that.
Didn't plan to do any of it because we were a short mission, but we were prepared to do it all.
And that's just the way it played out.
So, again, the mindset from our standpoint is yes, this isn't optimal.
This isn't desired by many, but it's where we are.
And we're going to take advantage of the training we have, the opportunity we have.
To continue to serve our country in this fashion.
And that is really what drove us.
So, this was supposed to be a relatively short mission that you were going on.
How many days originally was it supposed to be?
Well, you know, we've heard, eight has been a number that was put out there early, even before we launched, but it was two weeks ish or less.
There were several tests, obviously, we were doing before we got to the space station.
There were some attached tests, the thermal tests that we were going to be doing with the spacecraft while we were docked to the space station.
And then many tests went.
We came back before our deorbit burn, and then, of course, entering into the atmosphere and then landing.
So, all of it was a test mission, and roughly there wasn't a defined eight days, but that was one number that was put out there.
But it was eight to 14 days.
Okay, so you go up there with the expectation is you're going to be gone eight to 14 days.
And then, what were you up in space?
If I recall, it was 286 days that you were stuck in space.
I don't know if you remember the show Lost in Space when you were a kid watching any of those reruns, but.
It was a show called Lost in Space, and kind of that's your situation at that point.
Yeah, I watched it off.
Will Rogers and his family, absolutely.
Yeah, I was a big fan.
All right.
So now, when did you first realize, uh-oh, we're not going to get home on time?
And, you know, walk us through mentally, emotionally.
For example, when you're training, I assume they prepare you that there might be a situation where you may not get home on the date you think you're going to come home.
So I would expect you to have, I anticipate that you have some expectation of that going in, right?
Well, I don't think it's active training.
Say, hey, things could happen, you'll be extended.
We don't look at it that way.
But I'll tell you from my perspective, I've been asked several times, how did you feel when you found out you were going to be extended?
Well, Sean, I mean, when we started losing thrusters out in front of the space station and we wound up losing the ability to fully control the spacecraft, we lost six degree of freedom control.
And I'm on the controls, I'm manual control at this point.
I had three thoughts.
My first thought was, we have to dock.
Our options are minimal.
That's my second thought.
We don't have many options if we don't dock.
I mean, I'm controlling the spacecraft.
It is very challenging compared to the day prior.
The day prior, it was absolutely pristine.
It was perfection.
I mean, I could have pointed at a gnat and kept it on there.
I mean, that's how precise it was.
That is not the case when I was flying it, obviously, when we're losing these thrusters.
And so, my thought we have to dock.
If we don't dock, I'm not sure I can control this spacecraft sufficiently to do a deorbit burn and make it back to Earth because of how the control was.
And again, at the moment, you've got to realize.
We did not know why we were losing the thrusters.
We did not know if we could get them back.
So, this is real time thoughts.
And my third thought was if we do get successfully docked, I don't see us coming back on this spacecraft.
I mean, this is even before we docked, the realization of how serious the situation was.
And to be able to bound the problem, understand it completely, and get back inside the spacecraft at some point and come back in it, I knew those chances were slim because.
You can't go out on a spacewalk and inspect the thrusters.
They're not built that way.
You can't do that.
And I know that.
And we're dropping these thrusters.
So to determine why they're failing, it'll be an assessment of data at real time.
And there's going to have to be some type of test with some thrusters somewhere.
We can't test them on the spacecraft that we're on, you know, on Earth.
So, anyway, the three things I thought we have to dock.
If we don't dock, our options are pretty slim.
And the third thing, of course, if we do dock, I don't see us coming back on this spacecraft.
So I knew it early.
Okay.
The first thought that I had, and I guess maybe this goes to my mindset, and Linda makes fun of me because whenever I'm on the road, the only thing I really care about is what, Linda?
Whenever we're traveling, what do I care about the most?
Food, food, and the most unhealthy food.
Yeah.
Because it's the only time I cheat on my diet is when I'm on the road.
And so I'm like, if I'm going to the West Coast, it's In and Out Burger.
If I'm going to Salt Lake City, it's Crown Burger.
If I'm going to Chicago, it's hot dogs.
Wherever I'm going, it's something.
And But I started thinking about, okay, now you know you're not going to be able to come back the way you thought you were going to come back.
You know, your stay is going to be extended.
You know, the only way you're going to get back is if they come and rescue you.
My thought, I remember thinking at the time, I hope to God they have enough food there.
And obviously they did.
And then I think you got a delivery.
That we did.
And I can tell you also, after we got docked, was it like Uber Eats or Insta?
I'm kidding.
But, I mean.
No, it's a little better than that, actually.
But after we got docked and we did all our hugs and welcome aboard and did our comments and all, the first thing I did was we had the correct KU band coverage with the satellite coverage.
And I called the flight director, Vincent LaCourte, and I said, Vincent, you know, we trained for emergency departure of the station for any number of reasons, depressurization, fire.
Ammonia, there are many reasons why you would have to leave the station.
We've never had to, but we trained for that.
I said, in that scenario, in that contingency, what is our plan?
I mean, we have a sick spacecraft.
What do we do?
I mean, the Soyuz is too small.
We can't fit in it.
The Dragon is large enough, but we have no seats.
And our spacecraft is sick.
And he said, well, what I already knew, that right now is your only option.
And for the first two months, that was our option until we actually.
We built seats into the deck of the Dragon spacecraft for us to, you know, out of styrofoam or out of foam and other areas.
The ground team did a great job sending up the information.
Mike Barrett, one of the guys on board, our medical doctor that was on board, he put a lot of effort into it.
And anyway, we built seats.
So for two months, we had our emergency turn spacecraft was Starliner because that's really our only option.
Wow.
And you had enough food.
And then how did you get the delivery of more food?
Well, that's kind of standard.
There's cargo spacecraft that come and go, and they're always changing what the loadout on those cargo spacecraft are.
There's the Cygnus that comes up.
There's the Russian Progress.
There's also the SpaceX Dragon, which has a cargo version.
So they change those out all the time.
So they loaded a little bit more food, a little bit more other stuff, and other accoutrements, things that we needed.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with veteran NASA astronaut Captain Barry Butch Wilmore is with us.
His new book is out.
It's called Stuck in Space and Astronaut's Hope Through the Unexpected.
It's on Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores all around the country.
More with him on the other side than your calls coming up, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
At the Sean Hannity Show, we want a thriving economy, border security, and protection of our children.
Now what else can we come up with to piss off the left?
Keep it locked right here for all the latest news and information.
Veteran NASA astronauts stuck in space.
I can't believe it 286 days.
But Captain Barry Butch Wilmore, his new memoir is out, Stuck in Space, and Astronauts Hope Through the Unexpected.
Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores all around the country.
At any point during this long process, are you thinking, uh oh, I'm not getting home for a year?
That was actually the most likely scenario once we got all the information when the various spacecraft were scheduled to come and go.
The most likely scenario had us returning in June, which would have been a year.
President Trump did get involved.
I know that for a fact.
And there was some processing on some spacecraft, Dragon spacecraft on the ground, that was altered.
And they made some changes and they got one spacecraft ready before another and they swapped them.
And that's the ones that came up to relieve us, which actually got us home in March instead of June.
So we actually did get involved.
Elon Musk played a big role in that.
And, uh, I'm sure that made you happy.
The Problem with Track Records00:08:30
And it's incredible what he's been able to do, isn't it?
Oh, there's no question.
Absolutely.
You know, grateful to him.
And we wouldn't even have this option of the SpaceX Dragon if it wasn't for his vision, you know, decades ago when he started SpaceX.
And the progress that they've made over this time is just absolutely incredible.
And the launch rate that they have, even now with the various other missions they're doing, it's just mind blowing.
Something that I don't think anyone ever.
Deemed would have been possible just simply a few decades ago.
It's inspiring.
It truly is.
Well, I got to tell you, it's a great story.
I don't want to give the entire thing away because you put it all now in a book, and it's a memoir.
It's called Stuck in Space An Astronaut's Hope Through the Unexpected.
It's in bookstores around the country.
We put it up on Hannity.com, it's on Amazon.com.
You are truly an American hero.
You personify what it means to be courageous.
We appreciate you.
And Godspeed to you and your family, and thank you for all of your service to your country.
Captain Barry Butch Wilmore, we appreciate you being with us, sir.
Thank you, sir.
And Sean, we appreciate what you do for our nation as well.
Thank you so much, sir.
God bless you.
Glad you're home safe.
Breaking news straight from the source.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Let's take some calls.
1 800 941 Sean is the number.
1 800 941 Sean.
Let's go to Dalton calling from Daytona Beach.
Dalton, how are you doing?
I'm doing well.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
Well, jump in anytime you want.
Yeah, I'm calling in from a few hours ago.
You had a gentleman on that was writing a book and you had a few sections about.
Being pro with the Iran war, saying everything we're doing there is right, saying we're winning the war.
I just wanted to ask, how can you say we're doing the right thing?
We're doing good.
We're winning.
When day one, we bombed a school.
We killed 168 children.
And our ally on top of that, Israel, our number one ally, that's what everyone says, they have a track record of killing kids.
They have a track record.
No, They don't have a track record.
Listen, we've hit 15,000 targets.
15,000.
Now, once in a while in war, you'll accidentally get some civilian casualties.
This has got to be an all-time record for fewest civilian casualties ever.
And that one hitting a school, we don't even know that for sure.
That's reported by Iran.
We don't even know if that's true.
And if it is, the school was put next to a military installation.
That's why that would have happened.
But we have no confirmation that that ever actually happened.
And there are 15,000 bombing attacks.
If there had been any civilians hit, you would have been hearing about it instantly.
So that's a pretty good track record, isn't it?
No.
How can you say it's okay at all for children to die?
Listen, I can tell.
You don't want to change.
You don't want to hear anything.
You don't want to know anything.
Now, why is it you're so against this war?
Forget the children.
Why are you so against this war?
Okay, forget the children, right?
Yeah.
We're saying our number one ally in this is Israel, right?
Yeah, I know you hate Israel.
You got a little anti Semitism running through the veins there, but forget that.
I said I'm an anti Semite.
I think you are, but forget that.
Let's get to.
Why would, if you had the worst, most evil terrorist organization on earth, why wouldn't you want to wipe them out?
How are you calling Iran the worst?
I'm not saying Iran's right.
Don't get me wrong.
I am not saying they're 100% in the right and that they have been doing everything right.
They don't deserve this at all.
I am saying the reason we are there with our current allies is wrong.
Yeah.
But again, why wouldn't you want to take out the most awful terrorist sponsoring evil government on earth?
Because we're doing the same thing we have a track record of, right?
With anything that's come out of the CIA or anything that's come out of the Middle East, it has a track record of.
CIA was there.
CIA was giving money.
Let's look at things like the Contra affair.
But it will be all done.
Let me just explain.
You can't argue with these guys.
You've got to play along with them.
Hey, that Mondani is pretty great, that mayor of New York.
Good.
Good thing we got a socialist.
I'm not down for most politicians, believe it or not.
Really?
Now, what do you do in real life?
What do you do for a living?
Real life, right now, I am going to college.
I was in the Marine Corps for five years.
There you go.
It explains.
You go to one of these crazy colleges.
You got those crazy communist professors teaching you?
No.
No.
Okay.
Again, I was in the Marine Corps for five and a half years.
I've maintained a standpoint throughout that entire enlistment.
Now I'm going to college.
And what do you want to be when you.
You just put me in a box.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
What do you want to be?
Say again.
What do you want to be?
What do you want to do for a living?
Right now I'm studying safety, but I'm about to switch and I'm going to go into nursing.
Nursing.
I want to help people.
I want to help people.
All right.
Well, that's good.
That's good.
That's a good profession and nurses do wonderful work.
And Dalton, thanks for checking in.
That's a good thing that he wants to be a nurse.
I don't know if the patient who's.
In pain and agony wants to hear a whole lecture on why we're evil in a room, but uh, long as you're trying to do some good, let's go to Judy in uh Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Judy, how you doing?
Hey Mark, i'm doing real good and uh fantastic, as as usual.
I, whenever you're talking, I like to listen.
Thanks, and what'd you want to say, Judy?
Yeah well, first of all, if you don't mind, I would like to say, could you have callers?
Talk to callers, because i'd like to talk to the guy who was just on.
I, I don't think you ever answered your question right, you know?
No, I don't.
You can't waste any time.
You're not going to change it mind about anything.
Whatever he wants to think, let him get something from.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, listen, I just want to share with you my opinion that these billionaires, you know, Soros and the Dingham and the other guy, can't even pronounce his name, they're paying people to protest against America, and they're wrong.
They're treasonous.
We need to put them in jail.
Why can't we do something legally to stop people from doing these treasonous things?
Well, that's tough to do.
First of all, the biggest new financier of this crazy stuff is Neville Royce Singman, and he's in Singapore.
You can't touch him because he's overseas.
Nothing you can do to him.
He's working with the Chinese Communist government.
He's protected by them.
You really can't go after him.
George Soros is 98 years old.
Can't see, can't hear.
The son, Alex Soros, has taken over the business.
He's just awful.
He's twice as bad as Soros.
There have been people that said you could call him in a congressional hearing or something, put him under oath.
These Soros's, they financed 26 of the most awful district attorneys around America.
Awful ones that will let all the criminals loose.
You could bring them under oath and say, explain why.
What interest did you have in St. Louis that you would finance a district attorney's race?
What interest did you have in Portland to finance that district attorney's race?
You could ask them all these questions under oath.
I don't know.
As evil as he is and as horrible as the stuff he finances is, I don't know if there's any law under which you can put him in jail.
That's the problem.
It's a good idea.
All the people who are on our side and the Trump's cap, Trump, we love, my husband and I love Trump, everything's good.
But why isn't anyone thought to do any of this yet?
I can't understand it at all.
I know.
Well, here's the other problem.
If you try to go after Soros, you're going to have to get him before a committee.
Now, half the committee are Democrats, and Soros makes massive contributions to their campaigns and to their PACs.
So they're not going to do anything.
You really can buy off a lot of this government, and they've been bought off.
It's a good point, Judy, though.
Thanks for calling.
Let's go to Charlton in Tennessee.
Charlton, how are you doing?
How's it going, Mark?
Good.
Well, I'm not going to go off on Dalton, although I could.
No, I'll leave that.
Physics of the Mars Capsule00:09:28
The main reason I called was I am thankful for the information we got on the current NASA program.
Yeah.
Because I'm what I call a GORB.
A what?
Grumpy old retired.
GORBB.
G-O-R-B-B.
Grumpy old retired baby boomer.
And I'm old enough to remember Alan Shepard's first flight.
And John Glenn.
Alan Shepard was the first astronaut, right, in the Mercury program.
He was up there for what, 15 minutes?
And that was about it.
It was pretty amazing.
Now, it doesn't sound like much, but nobody had been up there before, so he was really taking a risk.
I remember that and everything that came after, and rest in peace, the three astronauts that died with the fire on Apollo 4.
Yeah, now I know John Glenn was the first to orbit the Earth, but who was in between Shepard and John Glenn?
At the moment, I honestly don't remember.
Yeah, I don't remember either, but there were, I think it was seven Mercury astronauts, then the Gemini program, where two men would go up in a capsule, and then Apollo.
And, hey, you studied this NASA stuff.
If you look at an iPhone or something, and you come back 20 years later, it looks all different.
It looks so much more advanced.
If you look at a car in 1969, then you look at one today, boy, it looks so much more advanced.
How come the.
I'm so into the space program.
Well, how come the rocket.
Yes.
He's on another subject.
You're going to get rid of it.
He's talking about something else.
But how come a rocket today looks exactly like the rocket of 50 years ago?
And the capsule looks exactly the same.
It's unbelievable.
You can look at a 1969 Ford and then go to today.
The car looks entirely different, but the rocket's the same exact rocket.
The capsule's the same exact capsule.
The rocket takes off the same way.
You see all that smoke and all that stuff that comes out, and you feel the ground shake.
And you'd think there'd be some other way.
Like some Tesla kind of a capsule that just floats right up.
You don't need all that big thrusting rocket power.
So, I don't know.
Linda, would you like to be in a capsule?
I can't even imagine anybody.
No, I have claustrophobia.
Me too.
I can't even imagine that.
Can barely get in the elevator.
They're going to go to the moon.
They're telling you they've got the digital, this, everything, the highest tech.
And then we find out yesterday the toilet wasn't working.
What?
I didn't hear that.
Yeah, apparently the fan in the toilet broke.
And these astronauts have trained for everything on Earth except how to fix this toilet.
So, They're sending them instructions.
Stop it.
Yeah, on what to do.
Are you for real?
Yeah.
I totally missed this.
No, Google.
Oh, my God.
Imagine if you're three guys in a little tight capsule.
You need that toilet fan fixed.
Bro, big time.
They're trying to fix that.
And then now this mission, they'll just go up there, orbit around, come back.
They'll do that a few more times until they're ready to land.
Then I guess the plan is to set up a base there, a permanent base.
Why do we need a permanent base there?
And what does that mean, a permanent base?
We're going to have a Chipotle there, Starbucks.
People are going to live there.
There's going to be a Marriott there.
I don't know.
Who's going to want to spend any time there?
And then I guess the other thinking is from there, we'll launch a Mars mission.
It will be faster to go from there.
But once you've gone, I don't know who wants to go to Mars.
You go to the moon, then you go to Mars.
You're just walking around looking at it, and empty planets with nothing on them.
It doesn't sound like a lot of fun.
I bet you get some good pictures.
You know, okay, it costs like $6 billion to get you there just for this picture for your Instagram.
It's really not worth it.
Speaking of which, follow me on Instagram.
I have better pictures.
Mark Simone, NYC.
You're the guy who's going to complain about space because the Wi Fi probably isn't good enough.
Yeah, the Wi Fi is not good enough.
The streaming up there isn't good enough.
Couldn't get any closer to the towers, that's for sure.
Yeah.
Well, that's true.
They're saying, though, did you hear when Trump went down to Miami to speak at the Florida Initiative?
Conference, the FII that we're going to have flying cars in like another year.
I know, go back to 1963 and watch the Jetsons with the flying cars for real.
Listen, i'm not about it.
They're supposed to be.
They're saying msrp is going to be about four hundred thousand dollars.
Yeah, this is all we need in Florida, senior citizens, flying cars.
The villages will go first.
It's not going to work.
No senior citizen they're going to.
It's so high, it's too high up.
Anyway uh we'll, we'll take some more calls next.
Uh, Mark Simone NYC at instagram twitter, all that stuff.
And don't forget, check out Hannity.com.
All kinds of great stories up there.
Back in a moment on The Sean Hannity Show.
is all It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
We found out who the second astronaut, Alan Shepard, was the first astronaut.
Second astronaut into space, Gus Grissom.
This was a fascinating guy in space history.
Mercury program was first, the single astronaut capsule.
Gus Grissom.
Then there came the Gemini program, two man capsule.
Gus Grissom was in that.
And in that, he became the first astronaut to walk in space.
And then there was the Apollo program, three man capsule.
Gus Grissom flew in that.
I think he's the only one to fly in all three.
But in the Apollo program, remember that was the capsule that blew up and killed Gus Grissom.
It was an amazing story and a great tragedy.
And a name that we should remember.
He's quite an American hero.
Let's take some calls.
Let's go to Patrick, Kansas City.
Patrick, how are you doing?
I'm doing good.
How are you doing?
Let me check.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Take your time.
Don't rush.
I wanted to give an answer.
What's that?
I said, uh, Take your time.
Just go slow.
Don't rush.
So I'd like to.
Well, not this much time.
Speed up a little.
What you said about the bombing in Iran.
Hey, Joe Biden, can you hurry it up?
Can you hear me?
No.
We can hear you.
I did.
Yeah.
It's only like 18 million people listening.
You can pause for 10 minutes if you want.
Patrick, you okay?
Yes.
Yeah.
All right.
There we go.
There you go.
I wanted to give an answer before I brought my point up to the guy earlier that said that the U.S. bombed a school over in Iran.
Yeah.
We don't even know if that's true.
Now, I have a, on good authority, I can't say that.
The source.
Well, we know you're great sources that you have there in Kansas City, don't?
You don't have to reveal anything.
Well yeah uh, Iran bombed the school.
Well, we don't even know if the school was bombed, but it's official.
Now it's coming down from Patrick in Kansas City.
That's it.
Iran did it all.
Right, Patrick.
Uh, I don't know what you're on, but did you bring enough for everybody?
Well, that's okay, all right.
Well, you sound like actually, that is uh, coming from military sources.
Well, there you go, there you go, it's All right, Patrick, thanks for slowing us up here.
Anyway, take care.
Thanks for calling.
And we have time for one more.
All right, one more call.
Let's go to Morgan in Oklahoma.
Morgan, how you doing?
I'm doing good.
Good to talk with you.
I heard you asking the questions about the pod.
That's physics.
It's about having to be able to come up.
And the main two reasons that we'd be moving up for the moon is one is going to be the helium-3 because the amount of energy that comes from it is readily available.
Readily available from the sun for you know, the sun's been.
Well, how do we get it back here?
How do we get it transported back?
You bring it back the same way that you send the rocket up, you just load up fuel, it becomes a logistics hub.
All right, because what people don't realize is our technology, because of what's happened with SpaceX, like we're just at the cusp of a whole resource boom that's going to happen.
All right, that's a very good answer.
See, I never would have known that.
Very good, Morgan.
Thanks for calling.
I mean, you cut you short, but we're out of time.
