wow today we're at the Kennedy Space
Center we've never been here before
Leslie's been here when she was a kid
but we ran into some friends too not the
Rockets I'm not talking about the
Rockets I'm talking about these guys
right here no Sticks no bricks Jason and
Jennifer so we're going to be hanging
out with them today looking at all the
rocket ships and all the NASA
stuff
[Music]
which is worse astronaut food or an
M I hear you're looking for
Uranus Don't make me laugh so
hard
well we just got here and this place is
like a theme park I wasn't really
expected to be like a theme park and it
was like an hour and a half drive to get
here so we had to go to the bathroom
first and then so Jason he's like look
the next show starts in 20 minutes so
since he is is already planning and
plotting where we're going we have
designated him our cruise director for
the day this is pretty cool man we've
already seen some really cool stuff the
IMAX deep sky was just mindblowing yeah
mind blown we're going to talk more
about that in a little bit because I
have some stuff that I need to talk
about CU my mind is blown yeah but I
can't do it right here but I'm going to
talk about it but in inside of here
where we're at now is some very cool
stuff interactive stuff you get to learn
it' be really cool for kids so you're
having a time in your life yeah I feel
like Jason's gonna inadvertently launch
a
rocket just touching stuff see what this
does you'd be a great astronaut why is
the
she which is worse astronaut food or an
M that's good a good good topic who or
who does it
better NASA or the military we're inside
what would be living quarters now and so
you have like your birthing quarters or
your sleeping quarters down here
here pretty
tight then you got your food over here
was just talking about looks a lot like
military
MREs oh look at
this you can like it's interactive you
can select like different parts of the
uniform it'll tell you all about it
about the helmet the technology how it
works the suit all the stuff you see the
little girl down here she's messing with
that to see how all this functions very
cool stuff if you were let's say
hypothetically okay if you were were
like one of the little Puppeteer people
in the uh peanuts Snoopy goes to space
thing
yeah people ask you what you did for a
living would you just say I work for
NASA and leave it at that absolutely
yeah I think I would look at these tires
man on this Mars Rover you would never
get a flat that's awesome I don't know
how many miles you get out of these yeah
but this thing goes a smooth what 2 to 4
mph that's cruising speed next speed 5
wonder what the gas mileage is like I
think it's electric yeah meet the newest
prototype electric vehicle see
everybody's going electric now
everybody's going electric it doesn't
matter where we go everywhere we go
exploring Leslie finds the gift
shop they got these cool planet models
that just spin yeah with no battery
no power nope no
solar they spin on their own yeah using
the gravitational pool of the Earth in
the magnetic field that's crazy I want
one and they're only like 300 bucks the
only downfall is they don't have Uranus
I know if they had a Uranus I would buy
it I don't give a crap that's
$200 I would buy one absolutely I guess
you have to special order Uranus and I
just might I'm Googling when we leave
here you're going to Google Uranus yeah
yeah yes you might find some stuff you
don't want to see if you Google Uranus
and if it's available I am purchasing
Uranus on the drive home I'm on the hunt
for
you yeah you
are I don't know if they'll want us
doing that in the back of their
[Laughter]
Jeep I hear you're looking for
Uranus yeah Leslie was actually saying
she was saying that um on the way home
in the back of your Jeep she's going to
be searching for Uranus interesting
about to roll the windows
down uh this is the space shuttle
Atlantis it's like a
simulated launch I think something like
that is what it says in little brochure
so we're going to go inside of here and
see what it's like to be up close and
personal during a launch oh man how cool
is this this is very cool they wouldn't
let us film in the theater but they do
this whole thing where it's like a
simulated launch and then the screen
opens stuff and the actual shuttle is
here suspended from the ceiling you walk
in you can see inside of it and now
we're getting ready to go on this
walking tour there but tell us all about
the stuff man I was not expecting that I
was just expecting to go to the
theater it's going to shake a little bit
Oh yay and we all leave but this is
amazing yeah to see this close oh man so
cool yeah it it looks a lot different
than it does on t because it looks all
polished and shiny and perfect when
you're up close you can see everything's
just patches stitches and oh little
tiles put together it's really it is
really cool man um we've never been up
this close to a a shadow the heat was so
hot it's turned these tiles white how
hot it is look you can see some new
tiles right up there and I wonder if
they were to run a new Mission or if
this one had to get
put back into space I wonder if they'd
have to replace all these tiles I wonder
if they're single use or if you can
reuse
them but if they start that color and
they turn bright white because of the
heat you know that's some serious heat
we're preparing for launch launch
sequence has been initiated we are go
for the
slide Roger
that stand by standing by all right all
right here we
go Oh shoot that's
[Laughter]
slippery here we
[Laughter]
[Music]
go a little faster
than
picked up more speed than I
thought get the pouty face yes cuz we're
not allowed to film in the simulator
yes you have to Stow all of your camera
gear no film or
photography two thumbs down half a star
on
yelk thank you to the sponsor of today's
video RV mattress by Brooklyn betting
one of the first things you're always
going to want to do when you get your
new RV is change out the mattress
absolutely cu the mattresses that come
in these things it's like sleeping on
plywood honestly um we have the Aurora
Lux yes in the soft oh yeah in the RV
King and it regulates our body
temperature it has like science going on
in there that keeps you at a perfect 88°
sleeping temperature but if that's not
for you they have a bunch of different
styles a bunch of different firmnesses
and they're custom made for RVs yeah so
they will fit in RV
unike some regular mattresses that
you'll find in the store they also come
with 120 night sleep trial a 10year
warranty and free shipping directly from
the factory in Arizona they don't just
have mattresses they have accessories
love accessories we have the pillows the
sheets um our daughter has one of their
weighted blankets they also have
mattress protectors and all kinds of
other accessories hey check this out

save you 25% on your next RV mattress
with RV mattress by Brooklyn betting all
you got to do is pop over to the link in
the description of the video and use the
promo code Wags and save 25% at checkout
you might say to yourself self what does
this video have to do with fulltime RV
travel and we were just talking yeah to
Jason and Jennifer off camera and we
were saying well you know it's the
future of RV as well it could be because
a lot of the technology that they use on
RVs comes from stuff that they have
explored and learned through space
travel well and so what I'm talking
about that I'm talking about like solar
yeah like solar panels and solar power
and I mean they run the vehicles that
are in space yeah well not only that I
think that you know my mind my mind goes
forever yeah yeah and I can think of
possibilities for so what I'm thinking
like what if like in I don't know how
many years from now lots and lots of
years from now we won't be here for it
yeah I know but what if there's like
full-time space Travelers yeah you know
yeah and they're like full-time space RV
YouTubers or not RV YouTubers but
full-time space travel YouTubers they'll
be like those RV on the- Go Rentals yeah
that you can rent a little spaceship
like we're going to go to Mars this
summer and try and we like no we
full-time we don't have a home base well
I guess Earth is our home base we winner
on Earth we winner on Earth we then we
summer on Mercury yeah and then we go to
the other Galaxy you
know yeah and then Jason was making a
joke about there being like a Dollar
General ons there so will be Dollar
Generals and Walmarts so we're already
setting it up we're already setting it
up so we have a Walmart on Mars we can
mooch there yeah on our way to another
solar system or some so yeah we
just got to figure out the food
situation but hey you pack it like an
ash penut you got meal in a bag yeah and
then you got other stuff in a
bag you got to figure out your black
tank situation yeah you just dump that
in space you know just let float out
there in the
atmosphere or there will probably be
like the Galaxy glampers that have to
have full hookups that would be me that'
be so me like no we are not stopping at
Mars they are only Power in
water yeah all the things that go
through that little head of your know
just keeps on spinning keeps on spinning
see I told you full-time space travel no
that's not what it is coming soon to a
YouTube channel near you no it's not
what it did huh no no this RV went into
space right no
absolutely is there a placard yes there
is a placard right behind you I don't
believe it I read it look for 27 years
this transported the astronauts to the
Launchpad oh they can like make snacks
and sandwiches on the way and go to the
bathroom if they need to I don't know
about that did you read the plard as I
walked by that's all I caught as for 27
years and brought them to the I would
think that there if there ever is going
to be full-time space Travelers they
will be in something like this yeah
Airstream is going to have the
technology to to nail it yeah absolutely
he looks like a spaceship it does yeah
put a couple heat shields on the bottom
of that bad boy and call it good yeah
and I like the drivable ones they look
different the drivable shs are pretty
cool it's not a travel tra we saw one of
these in U Houston I think they used it
for medical to do physicals and stuff
before they actually went on and stuff
but this is really cool like d them out
yeah nice yeah very
cool well it was dark when we got home
yeah so we couldn't finish
telling our mindblowing stuff your
mindblowing stuff that we learned and
since we're filming the next day I can
wear my Uranus shirt there you go I
found this very interesting we went to
the IMAX thing they were talking about
this web telescope and this is a new
telescope they just launched it actually
two years ago
2021 on Christmas day so it's been about
2 years and it took a little bit from to
get it out there they launched it they
sent this thing a million miles out yeah
so just to give you some perspective the
Moon is about 240,000 Mi away and they
sent this thing a million miles out yeah
and they got it set up which was
mind-blowing in itself because they said
there were 300 single points of failure
where if one thing went wrong this1
billion telescope is space trash yes and
he called it that space trash yeah they
would just be floating out there and
doing nothing yeah but it worked
everything worked out good and so what
they did was they set this thing up and
they focused it on one single part of
the sky yeah now
to the naked eye it looks like this is
little bitty square that they focused on
yeah and here is the first image that
they got back yeah and in this image
this is mindblowing in this image there
are these these spots aren't Stars these
spots are galaxies yeah that was crazy
and inside of these galaxies are
hundreds of billions of stars yeah each
has their own solar system yeah with
planets and moons and all kinds of crazy
stuff and some of these galaxies are way
larger than ours many many thousands of
times larger than ours yeah they saw
formations of stars which was crazy yes
the birth of a star yeah to the end of
stars they see everything yeah they saw
Stars dying Stars being formed they saw
galaxies that were close to each other
colliding yeah so can you imagine like
galaxies running into each other holy
crap man it's too much huge systems of
just gas and dust it looks really cool
yeah the images are just breathtaking so
and compared to the Hubble I mean we
thought the Hubble was pulling back some
cool images these are like though it's
like the difference between a regular
ultrasound and like a 3D ultrasound yeah
you know because the new telescope does
infrared yeah so that what's makes it
more vibrant and distinct and you can
see man it was so cool so they were
talking
about is there other life out there
absolutely oh yeah there has to be
there's no way there is it statistically
speaking there has to be and here I'll
tell you why okay the web telescope has
already identified several planets that
are earthlike yes that are the right
proximity away from their sun and are
made up of the right kinds of materials
to sustain life yeah has water because
not only can we see some of these images
the telescope can tell you what the
planet is made up of yes which is crazy
but we are not seeing these images in
real time no these images are over a
100,000 light years away so what we're
seeing now is that planet or that Galaxy
or solar system in the state that it was
in 100,000 years ago mhm so that's
mindblowing too because even if there is
life
there maybe we can't see it yet there
might be life there today yeah but what
we're seeing 100,000 years ago so so
here's an example so let's assume
there's other life out there okay and
let's assume they have the same
technology that we have okay and they're
aiming their telescope at us okay and so
they can see our planet M they might be
able to tell what it's made of that it's
able to sustain life but they're seeing
our planet in the state that it was in
100,000 years
ago so even if they could zoom right
right into it they wouldn't even see us
yeah they wouldn't be able to tell what
our plant looks like current day so it's
very
intriguing yes and so it go back to this
is one little square yeah that they're
focusing on yeah this is just a like the
size of a square on a Rubik's Cube was
all they focused on so if you divide the
night sky into all these squares now you
have millions of squares
and in each Square you shoot at you have
several
million galaxies solar systems hundreds
of billions of stars and that's just as
far as we can see yeah there's stuff
beyond that that we can't see and we
can't see in detail and we can't see in
real time we're 100,000 years behind
yeah you know true so I just it's
mind-blowing to me it is mind blowing
technology is going to keep advancing
they're only 2 years into getting images
back from this thing they're going to
keep focusing on different places I'm
sure we're going to pull back some
really cool stuff and hopefully they'll
be able to see and nail down that there
really is other life form out there yeah
it's very cool yeah but we had a great
time the Kenedy Space Center is amazing
it's like a big it's like an adult
playground it was good for kids too yeah
I mean awesome great learning I I mean I
went there on a field trip as a kid but
I didn't remember it so it was nice to
go back and do it as an adult yeah and
we got to go with friends our new
friends Jason Jennifer from no Sticks no
bricks we'll leave a link in the
description so you can go check out
their Channel we had a great time with
them I'm surprised we going get kicked
out of the place cuz me and Jason were
just Shenanigans and out of control but
it was fun though slide and slides and
crawl through
tunnels we hope you had fun watching and
hanging out with us too and uh stick
around for a few seconds because we're
going to honor a Fallen Hero if you want
to get involved with helping us help
veterans while we're out on the road
everything you need to know is down in
the description of the video appreciate
you watching we'll see you next time bye
