it's the best detox show in the known universe I'm Ashley together and I'm Jeff kanata we're recovering from e3 but we still have headlines for you we do targeted drone strikes are a controversial topic to be sure however what if we were talking about targeting bugs meat Agri drone a collaboration between saga university saga prefecture an IT company opted him in Japan Agra drone was created to use less pesticides on crops in a recent test it used infrared and thermal cameras to hunt down around 50 different kinds of pests at night doling out a precision strike a pesticide to take out the bad bugs after locating them if you're into more traditional methods Agra drone can carry an electric bug zapper around your fields at night too there's still some work to be done in Agra drone but honestly we think this would be a great way to eliminate using a lot of chemicals on your crops it's kind of crazy it feels like they're individually targeting targeting bugs seems really inefficient to me but zooming in but but then you don't have to soak a whole crop in chemicals I appreciate that not even eating the pesticides Blue Origin created an emergency on their rocket on purpose did it work it sure sounds like it did the commercial space company launched new Shepard for the fourth time this past weekend it reached its target altitude and then the team created a problem for its crew capsule only two of the capsules three parachutes opened forcing it to make a hard landing around 23 miles per hour the rocket re landed without any hitches and the capsule hit dirt and stayed intact Blue Origin will now spend time examining every inch of the capsule to see what kind of damage might have occurred and how serious it might have been I guess this is how you do it you you intentionally create problems but it's also you came through with flying colors yeah it looks like it did alright I know they want to do pilot driven trips next year and then the goal would be actual commercial space tourism in 2018 I hope it'll create problems for the pilot driven Trish I mean I guess you would write you would want to do that in simulations at least yeah I would imagine so but not uh not not intentionally crashing yeah not intentionally deep parachuting one of your crew capsules that seems pretty intense oh okay listen you're gonna get in the capsule we're gonna DEET we're gonna drop one of those parachutes that's gonna be real bad gonna be real rough but we just want to see what happens look what do you want to talk about we might we may or may not do long show this week guys we're not sure yet so because of VidCon there's some scheduling stuff and it's all crazy crazy week if we did I like I kind of like the targeted bugs I like that targeted bugs too it's weird a pretty cool way of using drones maybe we'll talk about both I don't know it's a short week we'll see if you guys want to talk about the show today you can use hashtag hey TV on Twitter yeah just let us know if you have any feedback about either of these stories or which you would prefer to hear more talk about we like that she used that hashtag and then will incorporate your discussion into hour-long show if we have one yes and we've that being said let's check out our phones are for the day today's photography comes from met who did not in fact give me the name of his device but I'm gonna use this picture anyway because one it's a selfie and two he says so in a not so much historical episode but also not your most recent you guys said folding fitted sheets was an impossibility I'm not entirely sure how serious you were but I'm emailing it kind of most because I did it I cut the frozen cheese if you will I don't know what that means but you did fold a fitted sheet and for that my friend Matt we salute you that's impressive if that is indeed a fitted sheet I'm a little skeptical it looks like a pillow he sent met multiple photos of the fitted sheet and I have to say I am impressed and and Matt you're better than us that's basically it yes Matt doesn't need a robot to fold his fitted sheets for him you know what even if I could fit a could fold a fitted sheet would I want to if I had a robot no of course not so if you guys want to send in your phone tog Rafi the theme this month is selfies we're almost done yeah it's awesome it's been a fun one month of selfies but we appreciate those send them to us tell us what device you took it on give us your name tell us how to pronounce it give us permission to use it on the show and tell us a little story but I took that picture we like finding out about fitted sheets and such yes feel free to get creative with your stories that is it for today's show we'll be back tomorrow with a brand new docket of science fact meeting science fiction into the most delicious science heed tech sandwich you've ever eaten your life but until then be good humans you
