Tomorrow Daily - 085: Philae comet landing, a charitable Stormtrooper, a TableTop guest and more

2014-11-12
on today's show rosetta's probe makes a successful soft landing on 67p go science there's a man walking all over Australia dressed as a storm trooper for a good cause though okay guys that was that would have been weird otherwise and also a new way to scan for your veins might make trips to the doctor a whole lot easier oh thank god yeah because they're pretty tough already sera daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best peak talk show in the known universe I'm host Ashley skellige enemies always kill anonymous can i address that terrible clap i did at the beginning work yeah you want to try that again i went like this well it was it was like you were summoning a waiter i was i need more bread yeah more bread its but but it's a story we're very excited about for real like that's why I club so let's all right get to the head Brigade headlines okay so we've had a rough couple of weeks for space a rough couple leo it's true not a lot of success not a lot of successes but today we had a little bit of something to celebrate about pretty cool stuff alright so the feel a probe that was launched off of Rosetta which is this this 10 year long mission to get to a comet called 67p feel a made its landing yeah we're exciting so when it's a first yeah it's the first time we've ever landed it successfully on a comment this is awesome so this video that we're watching right now is actually the entire process of getting Rosetta to this comet and how we were able to get it there so here it is like they do these gravity assists with Mars and Earth a couple of times I think they do three gravity assists with earth just to be able to get into the trajectory in orbit of that comment which is nuts incredible amount of calculations they so many new that which has close to certain other asteroids and missing certain times and I mean it was nuts so here they are they're gonna zoom out and like there's the comet they get through this flyby of an asteroid and they go all the way down and like look at it it's gonna meet up with this comet this is crazy so this took this launched in march of 2004 so this is before YouTube even existed they launched Rosetta that's crazy to think about yeah ten years ago youtube but didn't always exist no but but it seems like it's been around for a really long time right this has been on its mission for 10 years over 10 years 2004 and it finally made it and so this morning this is the visualization of exactly how it would work so Rosetta that's the bigger craft would drop this probe name feel a onto the surface of this comment 67p in this comment is humongous just can't it's a gigantic gigantic comet so it would land on the surface and what they're hoping for is as it does testing it wants they're hoping scientists can discover more information about the origins of life and whether or not comets might have brought water and other organic materials to earth so maybe the Comets are the reason we exist I mean that could be a really cool discovery scientists it's going to Rove around the comment it looks like it's just going to drill and take a panoramic picture so I don't think it's I don't I'm not a hundred percent sure but as of right now there were a couple landing problems so one of the things is is obviously it's a comment moving through space it has very low gravity so it was supposed to fire in each of those legs harpoons down that would anchor it into the comet so no would not go anywhere would not be like the Curiosity rover it's not driving around on 60 70 yeah so it's there it's a hot spot no grand theft no grand theft comment so I but and then it would do this panoramic picture and then it would be able to send all that information back it so I'm like a 30-minute time delay just about it's like almost 30 minutes for that information to get from the comment to earth which is pretty impressive yes yeah super impressive so take all these pictures it would do some drilling but right now the harpoons that were supposed to lock it onto the con it did not actually fire and they think it out this that feel I landed twice they think it landed and maybe took off again turned and then re landed but they're not a hundred percent sure it's actually it was sleeping at the time of like when we wrote all the notes for the show they said we've lost contact with it for now and then we're going to re get contact with it again at this time tomorrow and and then we'll be able to have some more information and figure out some more things but yeah like this is incredible tremendous accomplishment like you said huge calculations all kinds of great stuff here that here's the team they're looking or waiting I mean it was very very exciting from that was the one of the pictures that rose took of the probe like heading towards he's like I see you and they both have no they are celebrating when they realized that it was a it was a landing made it so great I mean what a great moment I'm not excited this that's a first it's the first time we've landed on me it's the first ten years in the making yeah and everybody please save your Armageddon jokes because this is not an asteroid it's a comet what all these oh there you go save your Bruce Willis joke all right um but really this is a tremendous achievement you can follow feel a that has his own Twitter it's adorable you can go over to feeling feel a 2014 is the Twitter account but that's the hashtag of the day the hashtag tag of the day today is TD Rosetta and we want you to just just send up your congrats to feel a 2014 on the ESA at esa you can send it to the european space agency because that was a huge achievement so send over your positive tweets your congratulations and really that's all we ask of you today yeah send some love to the people that actually made a hassle yeah that's the ambient really is tremendous and incredible and so much work and I believe they said that that craft had been designed like 25 years ago God design of it was made 23 and then it's taking this long like get the funding and do the calculations and build the graft and get it out there so this is I mean gonna really long this has been a really long time like to get this well know when it's gonna be like done doing what it does set up there to do i believe by march of next year it will be too close to the Sun the comet will be too close to some for the robot will not be able to function i'll get too hot so they said it won't be like they're hoping it'll be a little longer but it might only be a short amount of time not only be like weeks that they would be able to get that sounds like it only had like a very small amount of processes that it needed to do it has about 10 has 10 different processes that they're hoping it will get done and transmitted back to earth so did you transmit back that very curse to see what we get out of this yeah it'll be really march will have stuff so hopefully yeah i mean 30 minutes 30 minute wait time this was as long as it pizza or a pizza yeah half hour or less or it's free um tell me about this stormtrooper because this seems crazy okay and a galaxy here where we are right now there is a man that is walking from just all around Australia 9,000 miles across Australia that's his path he's going all the way around it look at that in a stormtrooper uniform now I don't even know if you know but Australia is pretty hot yeah it gets really really hot but let me get to why he's doing this he's doing this for charity as you see in the in the video he's doing it for a you know a children's a children's charity so the Monash Children's Hospital Monash show has a hospital and Melbourne he's hoping to raise a hundred thousand dollars for doing well that's very noble yeah it's very noble and it's also it's not only to raise money for this but it's also to bring attention to the group that he belongs to called the five-oh-first which is a group of people that dress up his stormtroopers and do charitable events like the only not-for-profit group that has the blessing of like Lucas are Lucasfilm and is neat like they're they're totally cool at them they're legit their costumes are awesome and obviously they're trying to do good all the time currently he's raised twenty-three thousand five hundred dollars that's pretty good which is about a fifth of the way but he's and he's uh he's still got these he's still got a lot o still got a ways to go yeah yeah he's still walking he's still got aggressive right now yeah I still got a ways to go and one of the fun facts is that he's eating just like animals and roadkill that he finds that's disgusting yeah this isn't it like an intense journey like he's pretty grueling he's gonna be yeah this is a pretty intense thing so he said at the beginning so hopefully you know you'll get a chance to donate and again it goes to the Children's Hospital yeah I'm wearing this to a group that you know is a charitable groups yes it's called storming Australia if you want to check it out and the guys name is Scott lux Lee so I may be related to Robin of a Robin of Locksley maybe Robin of Locksley um but yeah that's pretty cool he's uh I guess he's expected to keep walking he said he might be done around july of next year's he's got like six Marcus it's been almost a year right now very year yeah he started hiking last year on the second of November this is this is pretty intact yeah that's pretty crazy Scott Locksley you're better than we are you're yeah I don't what's it I there's a lot of questions that come up I think when I first heard this article like hey does he have a job like what's going on any man does he only because he does eat roadkill yeah but I guess see my favorite quote of his from that was if it's bloated I don't eat it and if it bleeds I eat it wow this guy's yeah at the end of it he's gonna be hardened dedicated there's gonna be tough he has a wife and kids oh yeah he's gonna come home he's gonna have a real interesting life to adjusting back to the real world it's gonna be so bizarre where's your where's your husband oh he's out walking Australia dressed as a storm trooper but for the kid but for the kids what matters yeah it brings it back to sanity levels stray out there um Cal have you ever given blood yeah I have me too and you know the worst part about giving blood is like when you go and maybe they have kind of an assistant that is like not very good at finding a vein yeah that happens and they have to stick you multiple times they poke you like the word that it's really stupid and then you feel like maybe you don't ever want to go back oh yeah it like ruin gervais you ever want to go back um this actually this invention of this gadget might change that this is really cool i love this video ooh that's uh that is a projection of that man's veins on his arm this is awesome so it's a new device that uses visualization scanners to find veins under your skin and then when it does find them it projects exactly where they are on the top of your skin so this uses this is that's amazing so cool so you can see there you go there's his you can see his veins so and the veins are the parts where there is not light on the red and then I believe on the green it is where there is light if i'm not mistaken so Dan dr. dan Waller is the senior researcher on this project and he says that he uses a near-infrared technology to project an image on your skin and because veins have a lot of deoxygenated hemoglobin it absorbs near-infrared light so the device uses that information to figure out where your veins are and then project that image it's fantastic yeah so it's really neat so right now it's actually in testing this is not something that like oh we might see in five to ten years which is a lot of our medical stuff that we talked about on the show yeah this is actually in use in testing rate this is today daily instead of tomorrow daily well it's tomorrow daily because it's actually happening in Australia which is its tomorrow's Australia episode australia day I don't know but it's they're working on in Sydney so if you're in Sydney and you're going to go give blood at the Red Cross they are going to take 300 first time donators and 600 repeat donators or donors donators or maybe talking about that's a new word is that a new word okay and they're going to test it so what they're hoping is that this will obviously decide how feasible it might be to roll out to a bigger market how fast can they get it to new markets where can you use it is it you know let's just roll it out so this is a you know small test batch and then they're hoping to roll it out wider and I would imagine you if you're a first-time donor and you have an experience like that you might be more inclined to come back yeah that's not bad doesn't really don't have to keep getting you have to keep being jabbed I mean that is literally the worst thing in the universe like when you have little tiny veins and then you have somebody's like oh I'm really sorry like and they're they're trying but the env it's a volunteer you know you're like on the on the giving blood the blood stream bus or whatever they call it and you're like trying to donate blood and then it they just can't get it and you're just like I'm miserable is the worst thing ever it's worse enough getting stuck one time much less like multiple that's enough needle talk for and that's enough of that all right well on that on that note then we will give kill 30 seconds to relax and calm down we'll be right back with our very first in-studio interview um don't know that's yay that's yay needles odd yes yeah it's good we'll be back with our very first guest which we're very excited to to introduce to you guys and and then of course we have user feedback and our phone target for the day so don't click away tomorrow daily alright our next story is about Ashley's hat what is it and where did it come from I love that that's how we're coming back from the show hi everybody welcome back uh my hat I'm just gonna own it my

it minecraft it's it's minecraft is one of 200 shirts that were made that's it's really nice from The Syndicate prod my grandma didn't make that um do you want to talk about into it yeah let's get into it every now and again kale and I are into the exact same thing and this week we're both into tabletop season 3 it's coming it's the season premiere is tomorrow it was crowdfunded they crowdfunded it over on IndieGoGo they made a bunch of money I want truckload of cash good which is awesome they made over a million dollars to produce their third season and uh we were lucky enough to have our very first guest on the show Boyan radakovich one of the nicest guys I've ever met super delightful literally one of the best people ever he's a producer on tabletop he did he helps choose games and everything and he is great so he came and talked to us but there was a catch so check this out okay so we are here with table top producer boy on radakovich hey guys we are so excited to have your very first guests inside yo it's awesome i'm so excited but here's the thing your name was actually too long to fit kale in the studio it's like 15 letters I'm Josh together boy radakovich like there's no room for kill anonymous yeah sorry but so what we decided is we're gonna ask you some questions and we're gonna have your roll a dice at the end of each question if it's even I'll ask the next question if it's odd Kayla last the next guy like it's like a game okay it's a perfect game to talk about again yeah let's do this it's Joanna show about games you we're gonna get meta it's a youtube show about games talking about YouTube get it's very mad and very confusing okay so let's start first question if somebody has never seen tabletop what is it oh it's a very difficult question yeah so tabletop is a fun celebrity gaming show that you can find on youtube you go to youtube.com slash geek & sundry or you can go to hulu com / tabletop and basically Wil Wheaton comes together with the celebrity gaming friends and we play board games and it's really fun awesome okay let's roll the dice ok the next question even me odd kale let's do this thing BAM odd all right all right so uh what what game do you think created the most heated match like I want to know I don't know where people in season 3 or season to anyone spoil irony okay so I want to give spoilers I don't go so in season two Lords of vague sorry Lords of Waterdeep for sure because there's an episode there were so it's a kind of deeper strategy game will is on there with Felicia Brandon latch and Patrick Rothfuss this is an awesome episode really fun a lot of good chemistry but will is like I must win this game and like in the break we sit down and he kind of sits with me it's like okay what do I need to do we go throw the strategy oh that's not and he's just like I'm gonna win I'm gonna win and then Felicia just totally destroys him I know ruined so you can just see his whole expression just like k then he's like crying on the table he still talks about that game even now to Felicia he wants a rematch no just like he's like I can't believe you did that to me and you know so it's like it's a is a broken there's a little part of his heart that's broken no no and I will never recover whenever it's felicia day gee it's a very good episode was it's your channel whatever yeah i recommend you watch it in season 3 there's a there's a lot of them there's a lot of games that will is like I must win because he's trying to improve his win record oh yeah and so Jen baseball card is embarrassing but nothing is stats are like not so good so yeah okay so there's a lot of good stuff out there alright let's do another role I have done this even you guys crowdfunded yes three oh my god yes and I noticed that in the trailer there is a brick wall of a bunch of names and I'm assuming that's maybe like a that was a reward here yeah it was amazing so a little bit about like all the rewards that people got to do so tabletop was create as part of the YouTube initiative to create creative content we're part of that and then when Google fun you know that fundings ended we were kind of left holding the bag and so we really didn't have enough money to make the show because we really do it at a very high level and so we once IndieGoGo and the backers were so generous it was amazing 1.4 14 million dollars it's like ridiculous that's crazy and one of the packages was you can get your name on a brick wall and so when you look at the set for season 3 you'll see all those little means those are backers in tiny gold lettering yeah sharpie and so our pas Kevin Melissa I'm sorry got out Kevin Melissa you guys are amazing like it took them three days to write it like every name up there it's amazing we're going to try to release a high-definition image where everyone's on their like zooming yeah so you can zoom and scroll and stuff that's crazy yeah so it's because of you guys have to put together like a hundred and fifty megapixel image like just heed this nah it's probably it's probably because it's a video too right oh boy Wow yeah coo coo town fun times yeah it was amazing but we couldn't do without you guys oh and also there were some backers that pledged at such a high level that they got to hang out with us it was amazing so like they were on set and they got to like take those selfies with Karen and stuff oh that's pretty fun yeah that is pretty fun okay so that is it for our questions okay you're all done oh thank you i watch tabletop guys season 3 it airs on YouTube

we're gonna enjoy these very excited Richard reticence said I would load all the mechanics of every car in the world so I could have my own personal free mechanic whoa he'd sue puppy right all right genius hey soos wrote us and said Atlas plus Google's self-driving car plus unified weapons master combat armor equals Robo quedo so I can become the Green Hornet I like that well yeah and then Joseph wrote to us and said I would i er hash Ashley and kale to give me news instead of reading some story on the internet because who is better to get news from oh he would hire us to train his robot to give the news the way we give the news and I tried to make him a pizza or something yeah not a good okay so and then Bray on wrote to us and said i would get Batman's Butler Alfred to train my robot to take care of my parents PS love the show since day one wait but I see okay i was thinking okay i thought the same thing you did which was Bettman doesn't have parents so how would Alfred know how to train a robot to take care of your parent but Alfred was around since before he he loved the Wayne's yeah but if he did I know but he didn't I mean like he didn't take care of the parents well enough they died yeah but you know what was all fer gonna do what could he have done in that moment ok stuff terror I didn't need train him to be Batman lazy to train the road what's the robot to take

foot 3 robots oh yeah i forgot that it's a terrifying roller human strength yeah so it's someone in the comments by the way in youtube was like was like yo are you guys are are you know crapping on the fact that you know they taught them to do karate that's not hard to do that's that's pretty hard to do to train a robot no i agree yeah we agree on we're not disagreeing with you at all that is amazing we just don't want weaponized robots I just don't want a robot roundhouse kicking me in the face like chuck norris in a year that's all I'm saying but it is it is amazing credible we didn't say that in the video yeah it is incredible feat that programmers are able to do that with software doesn't to watch that robot balancing on a cinder block I can't even balance on a sitter black with one leg so pretty impressive no we would not we don't we don't disagree with you we agree ok time for our last piece of user feedback which is always our phone tog refer the day alright so Kyle our
