2016-04-05
greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best feet talks over university and i'm jeff kannada and guess what what dream time is available our good friend sim sims ii yeah i ivan since he was on our show what last week two weeks ago two weeks ago i think two weeks this Thursday Thursday you can check out dream time you literally can use a Google cardboard you can use oculus VR anyone any PR I just go to WJ Sims calm you can check that out it went live today we had wings yeah let's do it uh you know autonomous vehicles aren't just the future of how I'm gonna get around it might also be the future of Motorsports Robo race is a concept race series from Daniel Simon a designer who has experience with futuristic vehicles he worked on Tron Legacy and used to be senior designer at Bugatti Robo car is the concept vehicle Simon created and it takes advantage of being a driverless car in its design races without drivers can help push forward human controlled racecar technology which we're guessing is the point of Robo race but this concept is still render for now Robo race plans to host a series of events starting later this year I kind of feel like if there's no driver in the car they can push these things to the limit right cuz safety kind of goes out the window yeah and you can make them super aerodynamic which is exactly what this is I mean this concept is so cool-looking I think humans being inside so make it as fast as possible it's not dangerous for people so I'm super into that I love it alright guys if you have ever wanted to spend a night on the International Space Station someday it might come true but we're starting now this week with an expandable module heading up there SpaceX's CRS eight mission will lift off this Friday to supply the ISS and if everything goes to plan the Bigelow expandable Activity module or beam will be delivered with the rest of the cargo beam is designed to test the viability of expandable modules which would mean living and work quarters for astronauts that are much less expensive to launch it's a two-year experiment and beam won't actually be occupied most of that time but if it is successful it would be a really big deal for long-term space exploration how expandable are we talking here we talking vaulted ceilings and a fireplace I'm stock california queen beds no these are very small workspaces i believe i want to say it was like 5 maybe 5 feet by 7 feet this space station master suite it's not huge this is like a capsule it's a little expandable capsule think of it as a small room i believe i got i you can watch on the video there's a good kind of idea of size but the really cool thing is is it is a little bit more meteor absorbent which which is great or absorbing here right meteorite absorbent and because the space station is hard so it's really cool and I'm really excited about the idea of it getting up there and having I'm testing out the room I live in now is not meteor absorbent no so hopefully that doesn't happen hey what are these stories do you think we should talk about long-form for Thursday I feel like we have to talk about we have talked about beam yeah talk about space I you know space is one of our favorite topics so yeah let's let's figure out if we can live there long term if we can live truly actually live the dream of living in space or at least spending a night there where's the A or B and BS exactly and you can participate in that conversation we'd love to hear if you think you can hang out in beam long term that's right all you gotta do is use our hashtag on Twitter and that is hey TD yeah use hey TV tell us how much you'd pay for a night in a beat in the beam expandable module maybe use air B&B m-- air B&B or my cat I love it alright guys it's time for our photogra for the day we're continuing our theme of landmarks points of interest monuments those types of things this month in April with Nathan's photo which he took on

right things he sent in a picture of a landmark slash point of interest yeah he gave us permission told us what device he took it on and then emailed it tomorrow at cnet.com and he also gave us a cool

skyline but taking that tour and hearing about all the history of all the buildings it's I can't recommend it higher if you ever find yourself in Chicago and make sure you visit the Willis Tower just like Nathan um that was it for today's show find us on social media yes that is where we live we love hearing from you guys on social media yeah tell your friends yeah tell your friends about show
