2:02這 這 這 這 這 這 這 這 他 但 在 避孕 Mask So here's the thing We want to go to Mars, right? But we want to go to Mars? Do we want to go to Mars? I don't know, I don't really know What do we know of Mars? I mean, no air The movie Mars Attack Yeah Love that movie And the Mars Rover I remember I watched a short video clip from the Mars Rover And of course, the first, the Schwarzenegger one Total Recall That was my first Yes, the lady with three boobies Oh, I don't know Total Recall That was what I was

3:02I remember Okay, John Get your mind out of the gutter, John Hey, I watched it in my teenage years Okay, I was impressed I'm sure it was impressive It was funny, because I saw they made a remake It was just so like No, no, no I mean, it was nostalgic sake, sure But honestly, I would never watch the modern ones The modern remakes Yeah, because the old ones Yeah, they weren't perfect But they were The original They were the original They were the big OGs back in the day And that was your fondest memories of watching movies That weren't well made But, you know, you had to use your imagination to feel it No, I wouldn't say they weren't well made Compared to today Right The technology was different those days It was That was a big budget movie They used what was then cutting edge Now we look at and go But, for when it was made Yeah, that's when Schwarzenegger was huge Yeah, he did two sci-fi He did that and running man Right

4:02Yeah, those were the two sci-fi Running man? Yeah, he did a movie called Running Man Terminator? No, Running Man I only know total recall in Terminator In Predator Okay, running Oh yeah, that's full Running Man was set in a game show You have to run and people hunt I don't remember that movie Oh really? You can watch it, it's a Schwarzenegger movie I didn't watch Predator until I was 18 or 20 Because, you know, I'm not very good with horror movies No, it was never a horror movie It was just a cool action movie It was never horror at all No, it was the alien thing that got to me I never watched aliens until I was 20 No, aliens I've never seen No, I don't like horror movies But Predator is just action movie It was awesome Actually, it's a very well-rated movie So when we talk about Mars These are the things we talk about Right I mean, this is the science fiction The movies And also cartoons Right Animations like Mars Attack And we've always sort of had an idea of There were Martians

5:02Yes Alien's Alien's were called Martians Because I think in the early days of science fiction They wrote about that Yes That was a... Was an Earthquenan Doyle wrote John Computer from Mars They made a movie This is made a movie It was a big flop I think so I think so I saw the movie was fine Yes That was very old So back in the day, we never dreamt of going to Mars Actually, you know No, people dreamt of it But it was never an idea It was fantasy Yes It was fantasy Until the Mars were overlanded And then we saw what Mars looked like And thought Ah! Just right land Holy way from home Yes, nothing else I mean And we...Holy would reverse it The last one was what...Marshan Yes The Martian With...Math Damon I never saw it I saw it He planted potatoes He survived Hey He was on the Mars mission He planted potatoes Okay, that's cool He sustained himself for a while And he struggled And so on and so forth So it was a decent movie I watched it in 4K actually

6:02Oh wow Yeah, it was unreal In 4K actually Great! So here's the thing What is this article about this? Yeah, because NASA has put in pushing Or actually the whole Global has been pushing This whole travel to Mars missions Right So a study funded by NASA It's putting people In dome-shaped buildings On a Hawaii volcano For eight months That mimics a stay On the surface of Mars So what they're trying to do Is they want to understand The implications of people Being confined in that small space In the play shuttle Because it takes six months To travel to Mars Okay And to conduct a mission It will take, I don't know, a year or two Perhaps, you know, for such a long journey And then six months back So before they actually launch this mission They have to figure out What are the implications Psychological implications Economic and physical implications To astronauts Yeah So for five people We are such an adaptable species I know I'm glad you are on the optimistic side

7:03Because this simulation now Is used to examine How well people can work and live together Andtily separated from civilization Right? Because once you're out there In space, you're out there You can't check your bank account You can't help your wife With anything You are separated from civilization So the 2030 Mars mission With astronauts by NASA will consist of a six month journey To Mars And then 500 days of stay And another six month return trip I would not send anybody Who has the wife Oh children There we go That's It's difficult Yeah It's going to be high-risk So NASA does not intend to put people On this mission Without understanding The psychological consequences Which is normal You would have to get psychologists Involved to pick the right personality types Yes So a Mach Mars mission of 520 days Showed that people developed sleep disorders And became less productive And this was a study done by the Russians Okay

8:03So over time People became Sleepless And became less productive 520 days They just can't do it So with this particular study That NASA is funding There are six crew members That will be selected And they will only be able to Email with a 20-minute delay Check their bank accounts Okay And browse limited websites And the bank account Why is that a priority? According to the article Just to make sure that they understand They've got some sort of connection To a better bank account So they know they're getting paid properly Oh okay So they say Is that something they said? Oh yeah, we really care about this I'm like a porn hub No, whatever So bank accounts Okay So now these crew members We'll also have to perform a variety of work That mimics astronauts including excursions In spacesuits And then they will be under observation For that six month period And this is what NASA is doing in Hawaii

9:05Okay I mean I know for effect I saw a documentary about already before they did this whole thing Where they had this container It was set up like Mars Yeah So these people had to walk outside It wasn't real spacesuit But you would have to put the thing on to go outside They had this whole long time That's a pretty good study They had to know How would astronauts react to situations like this Yeah So I've seen them They've done that type of thing before Simulations of long term simulations Of people living in like a container They had a container Oh man They did not imagine that Oh it was quite interesting So they had to look at all your consumption They had to get an idea of how much water do you drink You know No showers basically Because you know You're in space And you know food consumption and waste And all of that So they I remember I saw something about a long time ago Yeah So yeah there are a few studies about that sort of idea Okay so now my biggest question What's the point Why are we so adamant about going to Mars

10:06Elon he said He said that Now basically the idea is this Look an asteroid could come Here next week and wipe us out And their idea is that We are so special We've got to keep on We've got to keep on going Yeah Okay So humanity To protect humanity We've got to leave this planet Because we know A 5 billion years It's going to The Sun's going to be broke But You know next year A solar flare could wipe us out The year after that Look we travel through the universe Right And those dinosaurs that got extinct We go through a certain part of the universe We are very It's like an asteroid area We get hit every 60 million years Yeah And we were lucky the last time Global warming, weather changes Whatever it could be Yeah So yeah aliens or whatever The idea is to get humanity out And this is the thing that we need to talk about Is humanity's sustainability We're looking at the word sustainability How do we sustain ourselves How do we go on living as humans

11:06Right Yeah Do we need to find other planets Do we need to Inhabitable planets Or do we need to Do something We will change the planet to To adapt to our needs We need air Oxygen Yes So if you've seen some of these movies I've seen some where they create If you have water, we have a chance And Mars seems like The planet that closely resembles The planet that closely resembles Earth In terms of distance And manageable It's manageable I think the idea is that this would be the first step You know what I mean This would be step one We've got to try to see if we can do it Are you optimistic You know what For me it doesn't matter I don't think that way I don't think in this Okay You know what 2030 is too far away from you No The point is this I don't consider us to be such a Such a unique species Oh okay No What about those types Oh they don't get to go And when the asteroid comes

12:07So we will know as Arach when the asteroids come If they come next week, we will do But the bad is I don't see us as being the The species I mean there's a big chance that We are not the only intelligent species In fact they might be sitting up there Right now laughing at us I don't know But the point is If we look at what we've done And how we so noble Yeah you know that That brings everything into perspective When you go out of the universe Yeah you look at what was that movie With the insects Where they fought I loved that movie It was the insects versus humanity We were killing fighting the insects We were fighting insects Stomp starship troopers A starship troopers Yes When you look at the real thing You know what I mean And you think If you go look at the It looks like the human start of the war It's not like we're going to be noble Star Trek makes us look Nobal The peacekeepers Really And the prize We are not there That's why it's set in the future That idea that we will be noble Yes Right

13:07Yeah I mean I'm optimistic though I mean Nobal not I mean like We discussed earlier You know the The pendulum We progress as humanity And then there will be a point Where we will get to The more noble phase Yeah but how Where are we there now? How civilized are we now? I don't know It's a matter of perspective Exactly We are still You know Are we looking after our planet Well You know one day Maybe when we're really getting Touch with intelligence Other intelligence species We all realize that We weren't noble at all Oh yeah Maybe they are not This is the issue Big spaceship comes here Here comes some Species and they look at us And they don't see And we need Avengers Yeah No No Yes the point You look at a lot of these movies And we fight off No way If they have space travel They come here We doomed And they look at us as meat Ah! It's a food source We're doomed Because The technology Oh we have nukes Yeah

14:07Okay I'm sure They will be scared of that We doomed If they have hostile intent We're doomed Yes But I think it's in our DNA As humans To pass on some sort of legacy Right So I think at the end of the day Is it a good idea? Yes But personally I think we are so No No For me it's like Okay It's fine I suppose No one people like us Don't read too much into it Honestly It won't affect our life Right now All right So moving on to vocabulary And the sample sentences First word I want to talk about Is Last minute The editor Last minute So last possible time Before the event Okay So sample sentence The crew members Picked up last minute things Before entering the dome So they were going to enter the dome For six months So before they entered the dome They went to pick up last minute things Okay Toiletries

15:07Whatever it is Next sentence Please wait for me at the restaurant I'm busy with the last minute customer At the moment Okay Last minute Last minute customer Okay Next word Escalate The verb To become more intense or increased rapidly Yes Escalate the situation Escalate the situation Personal conflicts That can escalate over months Could be bad for the Mars mission That is it Yeah And say you're going to be very careful with what kind of people you are Six months 500 days of You know stay on Mars And six months back How long is that? Two years And two and a half years Most three years Okay Three years Yeah How long was the old days the sea journeys? How long were they? I don't know A year or two Yeah But again they would stop for land And yes They were exploring And there are a lot of people But a strict discipline I think that was always the thing

16:07You had the captain and his world It was law Yeah Different thing Yeah Exactly So next sample sentence BLM Black Lives Matter Escalated after the death of George Floyd Okay Next word Worst case The adjective Worst case scenario Worst case situation The worst possible outcome Yes Sample sentence NASA is creating a mock environment that simulates the worst case scenario For For the Mars mission Okay So they're actually trying to make things difficult for the applicants Or for the test subjects Yes Next sample sentence The worst case scenario of a computer crash Is the loss of data That's the worst case Losing a data after a computer crash Well that is tragic Well only if you haven't backed it up yet

17:08There we go So the saying goes You always be prepared for the worst And hope for the best Be prepared for the worst hope for the best Yeah So you always do your backups please regulately Right So on that note To our audience today Do you Or don't you Backup your data Yeah Leave us a comment below And we'll catch you in the next one Bye
