The Joe Rogan Experience. How many years would have to go by before people are
doing commercial spaceflight before you decided to just take a take a shot see
what's up? I think it could happen tomorrow. If somebody like comes to you
with a solid concept we're gonna put you in space bring you right back down to
earth? I don't think space has a big deal right now I think that it's a big
business and the fact that all the richest people in the world are in it
prove it you know that'd be like saying oh my gosh you can't ship this package
that it's gonna be five thousand dollars on FedEx. Nah. The fact that the
richest
guys in the world are in it means it's very cheap and you can get the hell out
of
here. Is that what it means? I think it means there's a lot of like benefit in
being one of the people that innovates in space travel. If you could come up
with a
thing where you send people into space and every time you do it you could
charge someone a hundred grand and you get like a million people a year to give
up a hundred grand and go flying into space. That's a lot of fucking money. It's
only a
hundred million dollars. A million people? Yeah that's right. Yeah I mean I don't
want
to talk about your past or anything. No it's not a hundred. It's a hundred
thousand. Yeah it's uh it's not a hundred million that's uh a hundred billion.
Well that's when you start moving commas and not zeros. Well that's when you do
math. Yes. So like if you're Jeff Bezos and you can make a hundred billion
doing that. I mean you wouldn't make a hundred billion. What if you make 50
every year just putting people in the space.
That seems very valuable. It's going to become a commodity very quickly. Yeah
putting people in the space. It's going to become a commodity very quickly.
Yeah putting people in the space.
But space is just a high-flying airplane. Right. But if people are willing to
spend a lot of money doing that's when you start moving commas and not zeros.
Well that's when you do math. Yes. So like if you're Jeff Bezos and you can
make a hundred billion doing that. I mean you wouldn't make a hundred billion.
What if you make 50 every year just putting people in the space. That seems
very valuable. It's going to become a commodity very quickly. Yeah putting
people in space. But space is just a high-flying airplane. Right. But if people
are willing to spend a lot of money doing that.
And then if you can figure out a way to escape Earth's gravity and land on Mars
or land on you know Europa on one of the moons. Yeah. I'll wait to see it. What
if you can figure out a way to fucking fly around Venus and come back home.
What the fuck is the point. The point is the experience. Just like the point of
going to Everest. Like is the point being at the highest spot. Like who gives a
fuck.
If you into the highest spot. Nobody gives a shit. But the point is the
experience. The experience of going there and knowing that it's a difficult
thing to do. And it gives you an unusual vision. An unusual perspective. An
experience that few people rarely see. Ad blocker you motherfucker. Got to
disable ad blocker son. It gives you an option. That's bullshit.
Tickets to Mars will eventually cost less than $500,000. Elon Musk says. Well
thank you Elon. What a bargain. Only a half a million. I could fly all the way
around the fucking Earth. And stop 72 times from 500 grand.
But if they really do get to that point. And they probably will. Look if you go
back to the invention of the first automobile. In like the 1800s. And then you
look at what they can do today. With like a. Jamie has a Tesla. Model X.
They go shut the fuck up bro. They're great. It goes. It goes zero to 60 so
fast. It doesn't seem right. And it's a SUV. They're so fast. Have you driven
one?
Ludicrous mode? Yeah. I have. I have. Like this plus actually. Have you driven
one like that? Yeah.
They're preposterous. They're so fast. It is insane.
So you go from that old car that was like. You know fucking 20 horsepower. To
what he's got. It's insane. Now go a thousand years from now.
You. There's no way you can guess. And if you look at what we can do right now.
If commercial space flight is a real thing. And they're flying people into
orbit.
There is no doubt in my mind. That whatever the amount of time it is. Whether
it's 50 years. Or 100 years from now. They're going to absolutely have space
flight to Mars. And bring people home. They'll probably come up with some new
propulsion system. Some. Some fucking wild crazy shit that we haven't even
thought of before. It's not going to change everything. It's not going to
happen with this giant go straight up. It's going to have to be something that
circumnavigates.
And gains speed. Alien technology. Nah. I don't know about alien technology.
But it's going to have to be something that circumnavigates. And gains speed.
As long as you say circumnavigates. I think you know what you're talking about.
I'm not at. What?
Circum. Imagine being like at NASA. What you guys need to do. It's fucking
circumnavigates. Exactly. Get it around. It's not going to go straight up boys.
Never go straight up. The earth spins. You got to go with the spin of the earth.
Never go straight. Go forward. It doesn't go straight.
It looks like it's going straight. But it goes straight in relationship to
where you're standing. But not in relationship to the way the earth is spinning.
And the way the fucking planets are aligned. It's all complicated. Another
fucking ad pop up. Jesus dude.
It doesn't even work anymore. I thought you were supposed to be really good at
this. He's the best. That's not the problem. The problem is pop up ads. NASA is
launching a 4G mobile network on the moon. Yeah. Well when I have 6G. I'm not
going to settle for 4G on the moon. You fucks.
That's like getting like one X in the Amazon who the fuck's getting it on the
moon
Assholes how many customers are on the moon Jeff Bezos is gonna be with that
girl that you don't even like on the moon
I just wasn't a present martini. I mean if I was worth, you know hundreds of
billions of dollars
I think I could do better. I got a P2 so we can either wrap this up or I could
pee and we keep going. Well, I don't care
I'll be right back. Oh, yeah, you're gonna fucking dare me
We got your notes. Oh, I'm just picking up my have you thought about what I
said about space travel?
Yes, and I'm not disagreeing. What I'm telling you is
As a race we take over shit
We try we go and grab shit. We take over it. We fight about it. We say this is
our land. This is your land
Right if we'd have been the moon would would be up there
the argument is that every single technological achievement from 1969 is easier
cheaper and faster to reproduce today except
Going to the moon. That's the argument. I say wrong because I was born in 69.
That was fucking cheap
What do you mean?
The argument is that everything from then you could do cheaper today and easier
like televisions
Yeah, but they say you can't
Well, they didn't work at it. That's the problem. It's the only thing they didn't
work at the only other things they didn't work at is like
I mean, how much innovation have there been in air flight in a like commercial
air travel not much?
Propellers it's been a hundred years 69. They were already flying jets
When they start flying jets. Yeah, I guess yeah
What was it in the Concord they stopped sort of I guess with the Concord and I'm
like, yeah, now that or that thing
Or there's a lot of rich people or they're not telling us how far they made it
in a space
Well, the Concord killed people that they can't kill like that was a
What was that getting you to France and like two hours or something something
crazy and couldn't have gone faster
They just kept it there or no? I don't know. I think the thing that happened to
them was on the runway
I think it lost a wheel or something on the runway and killed a bunch of rich
people or ran into a tire
Something like that low passenger numbers and rising maintenance costs I mean
it was kind of expensive wasn't it wasn't sure I?
Mean it's supersonic speeds, you know, man. How the fuck does it not break? It
wasn't that bad
But wasn't that bad the price I thought it for some reason my head
I thought it was like I take it thousands and thousands of dollars how much is
the ticket says the fair is about 500 bucks or just over a thousand dollars
What today in what year when they stop 90 99
That's kind of crazy. I was the conqueror stop in 2000. That's kind of crazy if
you think about
progression like in
2000 you could fly at supersonic speeds commercially you can't do that now
So that kind of throws a monkey wrench into the idea that things always get
better
Because they don't always when they cost too much money. They don't always get
better
I don't think it cost too much money. They were complaining about the sound and
the sonic boom
Oh, yeah, that too, right. Yeah
Yeah, but I think there was also a danger of it
It's like people a bunch of the last flight. I think a bunch of people died
that were very wealthy. Is that true?
What only 13? Oh, yeah
That's a little more than 13
That's fucking serious. Yeah, and a lot of them were very wealthy. I think when
you get hit with those lawsuits like
So that's one of those things that from 2000 to 2020 did not get better that
actually stopped
You know, it's it's a lot of money to get people on the fucking moon
It's just one of those things where I think eventually they'll get to space
tourism and it will expand past the moon
It'll go to Mars and it's gonna happen, but it might happen a hundred years
from now
You know it might happen 200 years from now. We might be shocked at how long it
takes
Well, then you're pleading my case right there
Why am I playing your case because we hadn't been there might have did it once
yeah, might have did it once a bunch of fucking cowboys
Okay, you went to high school in the in the or even elementary school in the 70s,
right?
And you studied history. Mm-hmm. Have you ever seen a picture of the flag on
the moon?
Of course I have no through a telescope. Oh
Me, do you know they don't have telescopes that could actually see that that
clearly? Yes, they can really yes
Do you know that have you seen it work? They don't work that way
They don't like did them there's a there's a like a long distance thing and
then there's a close distance thing
Like you could use magnifying things like binoculars and telescopes that are
like low magnification
And you can get like a good image of something's not too far away, but then
when they started getting too far away
Yes, the flag is still on the moon, but you can't you can't see it using a
telescope the Hubble is not pointed at the fly
Here it goes the Hubble Space Telescope is only 2.4 meters in diameter much too
small
Resolving the larger lunar rover which has a length of 3.1 meters would still
require a telescope 75 meters in diameter
So we're the most badass country in the fucking world and we put a man on the
moon and he planted a fucking flag
Mm-hmm and we ain't showing that off right, but do you I mean because we're as
a country we're like Burt Reynolds
What are you gonna do? We're gonna show off
That's what we do, but you read what that thing just said I get you're like
country wisdom
Where you're looking at it, and you're like if we had this we would have that
but if you look at that thing
It's saying that the Hubble only has a thing that's 2.4 meters and you need
something much larger. Was it 75 75 meters?
Which is like a almost a football field size to be able to see what's on the
moon?
Like they didn't have the Hubble before right they didn't have the ability to
take these high definition images of things that were like way far away now
They do but to have something that gets really close to things you need
something that's even more potent
It's all
For people not like you or me. We're arguing about shit that we don't study.
That's what I'm not even I don't even care about it
To tell you the truth. I'm just telling you brought it up on a podcast million
people
I'm totally screwed now
Uh, whatever I said this monkey bar real god that you're in a fucking argument
with he's gonna bring that to court fuck that
I told you this guy's crazy
He thinks neil armstrong's a liar
So what's next sir aliens?
I don't care about anything. I think they're paying attention
Personally, I don't if you were an alien wouldn't you be fascinated by hot rod
culture?
Well, uh
I would
I met an old guy a long time ago
And he put it to me the right way he goes what if
you're just
A
Experiment in a young kids
School project
What if all this that you built is basically an amp form that you have in your
head?
And you're just an amp form and somebody else's head and somebody else's that
it's kind of like the matrix
I don't know if that
Defends us or
Defines us
but
It is kind of interesting. I mean, you can't think that you're the only thing
out there or we're the only thing out here
If we are an ant farm and we don't know that we're an ant farm and we're living
and we understand how the ant farm works
The real problem is if the real problem is if the owner of the ant farm shows
up
Up until then we're just living
You know if this really is like some complex ant farm for people
We're having fun
We're having fun. It's all good. Yeah
We got some weed. We got some drinks. We're having fun. We're making money not
making cars
Everything's fine
The real problem is
The real problem is if the ant farm owner shows up
That's the problem with these fucking ufos that keep showing up the ones that
the new york times
Puts on the front page of their newspaper and is that a real newspaper?
Yeah, it's a real paper. It's they do it in new york state
It's a city called manhattan. Well now i've been there
I just don't know about it. I just don't know about new york times being a
paper
Well, they're more often a paper than they are not
Sometimes they fuck things up, but they're more often accurate than not
Yeah, they were more accurate in the past than they are now now. They're ideologically
driven
They tend to be a bit woke, but they're still probably the best newspaper on
earth
woke woke you know woke
There's rules you know the work woke rules
You don't give a fuck about those right I do not me neither um
But do you think that aliens have visited?
I'm gonna give it a 50 50 i'm gonna probably lean towards yes
Is this anything you think about on a regular basis only when i'm jacking off
