on today's show bill nye decides to get into the spacecraft game vr is closer than you think it's in your browser all up in there all up in your browser and the world's first 3d printed apartment building completes construction but it's not in LA so I'm still paying really expensive rent prices wawa tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley ask anna enemies always punching the sky on a monday kill not do you think that they can 3d print me a new landlord ah the apartment that you know that could be a very lucrative Kickstarter 3d printed new landlord to replace the one you have if you don't like it I love so we got 3d printing news we have VR news we do these are all the things my favorite thing and space I mean really we're only missing robots but technically like we are robots got it we are Cylons we're really well-made Cylons spoiler you can have yes spoiler alert guys all along the watchtower playing in our heads on a loop all day um all right friends all right friends it's time to hit the headlines did you know that bill nye is the CEO of a nonprofit called the plant like Planetary Society uh-huh I did not know this either I just learned about this today and I feel like I should have known about it for a long time cuz I love Bill Nye who doesn't who doesn't love bill nye the science guy bill bill bill bill bill I used to sing along to that when I used to watch the show when I was a kid I used to sing along it was amazing okay so Planetary Society they are going to build a spacecraft and they are going to send it into space and this is really awesome because what they're doing is they are trying to make work the idea of solar sailing so you can see in our video wow that's how the sale would expand from this object it's called light sail that's what they're naming it the actual device itself as you just saw the size of a loaf of bread so it is a very small bit of hardware without the sales open so it's not bigger than a breadbox no okay um so you can use that for your 20 questions and so what they're doing is okay solar sailing is the idea that you can use photons and beams of light and bounce their force and speed off of these really super thin sales in space and propel a spacecraft around so the idea is that over time as this thing travels through space it would pick up speed therefore potentially giving it the ability to go quite far okay right so um so here's what they want to do uh the the actual sale this I thought was very interesting is four point each sale will be four point five microns thick so there they are rolling up the sales are wrapping them up and packing them inside the actual device and that is a quarter of the thickness of an average trash bag a quarter of the thickness yeah quarter so that is a really really dairy sensitive yes thin sale and they this device will have electromagnetic rods to help right up the craft based on Earth's magnetic field and then they're going to do a test flight in May and that'll be launched on an atlas 5 rocket but what they really want to do is after the test flight they want to move on and send another light sail into orbit on one of space X's Falcon rattles so and then there's going to be another spacecraft that's actually going to keep tabs on the light sail and see how it's doing and check on it and come back so what's the goal they what are they trying to help the space the space program so so um so the Planetary Society is a non-profit that's dedicated to space advocacy and exploration oh so they're all about just sort of saying like this can be done like they want to know if true solar sailing in and of itself can be done in space and how well can it be done how well can they do it and for how cheap so this is only gonna cost less than four million dollars and it's all privately funded so no taxpayer money no you know it's totally funded by private citizens and it will cost under 4 million dollars that is fantastic it's busy exactly the kind of science like space news that we would love yeah because it's not just look at the sale expanding I mean it's just it's really incredible how large these sales are and NASA has done things like this with sales that expand as they get out into orbit but this is something privately funded and what is this happening may they're gonna do the test flight okay so we'll keep tabs on it will report back when they do the test flight will be ugly awesome let's super very cool and people can donate to this charity then getting over to a planetary system I'm sorry Planetary Society yeah non mais attack stood up while your donation very cool so yeah super super nice job Bill Nye yeah way to go bill nine way to back up that Street science guy named with actual street cred love him is a hug for me tell me about VR ok Hauser ok so I you know I I'm big into VR and now AR um but so everybody's been wondering like oh you know with the Facebook acquiring you know oculus and and all this V are becoming popular how is just gonna bake itself into our lives how does I'm not just gonna be us dweebs might have wondered that's right so well Moe's VR so Mozilla stepped up and is adding VR to the browser itself so now you'll be able to through the browser use your oculus and and explore things now like content that's been made for personality okay so so they've been working they've been working on this for a few months now and last week they added corvy our support directly to their nightly builds so basically oh that's the big deal that's the big deal so core support that was like a huge mm-hmm so basically I have to do is install the most recent build install add-ons to integrate it to the oculus okay and then open a non è 10 window right so that's a non multiprocessing window who so awesome okay so it's a couple different things but then but then after at that point you can I guess developed for an experience we are like that's in the browser like what about content yeah very easily very easily with a witty awesome with Linux support firefox and Android and Google cardboard oh they that's what they that's all the stuff they want to do yeah not just Firefox you want to expand oh yeah that's the 1i they want to go all over the place um there's more resources and demos on Mo's VR com site if you want to learn more about that okay they have six projects uh yeah on their site which is what we've been watching these are some of the projects from moes VR there have this is a talk show you can't see anything cuz it's super dark yeah but they do that obviously they can only show 3d by the the two images next to me right but this is really heat crazies like it's like they're now I almost wonder you know like I always think about things like playstation home which was kind of a flop yeah but also a really interesting idea in that can you imagine them real I like Sony relaunching playstation home with with project Morpheus yeah where it's like you're actually walking around in a little plaza and talking other people or cars i'm sorry but kind of weird but exciting and it's really makes basically yeah it's scare citing it's so scary excited I've scare citing care setting um so speaking of hashtags our hashtag of the day today is T DVR browse and I think the question is is that if you could pick your favorite website or what website would you want to experience in virtual reality why seeing that Dutch keep it appropriate ok keep it appropriate internet because we know the Internet has some inappropriate places that lots of people would love to experience in virtual reality now is not the time nor place to name those website yeah let's let's keep it keep it clean clean p clean classy so what about you i think i would love to visit i I've seen like those prototypes of Netflix work but I kind of love that idea of having that Minority Report experience like right in front of you on a screen where it's like you're swiping through movies and like you know expand oh yeah so I would say IMDb cuz i love get diving in IMDb and pulling up like trivia about stuff so i'm watching the movie right here and then like all of a sudden i can like pull down the trivia and expand that and read through it and then close close it up and throw that away and then pick up like oh like I'm watching guardians of the galaxy like Chris Pratt what else is he an O Parks and Rec okay i'm gonna click on that and that's gonna start playing like that's what i want you'd never come out no that's y vr is so scarce i'd i would go to the gorillas have a website and because it's like super super like their art see where you basically walk through their studio but there's hidden things everywhere so you go into like one of the characters rooms and then you'll find maybe like an unreleased track in their trash like on the floor can't change me where you can okay pottermore good good change okay yeah you made it we made me think of that but this is this is what i'm hoping will happen with this whole 3d edition is that sites will start to put more work into it and it'll it'll become an experience when you go to a website and experience and i think that's the big man experience and then people will start thinking about the digital space instead of just just being a fleeting thought where you see one thing and then you move on and then you close the window and move on like it can just be sort of this weird seamless experience where you just kind of float through the internet and find things and just keep moving yeah but not just with one website so like people get caught in the black hole of YouTube but it would be for everything that you visit which is pretty neat and also again it's scary it's a little scary it's frightening because it's like we don't know how society is going to handle having virtual reality like such an intense experience yeah um but I'm excited to see how people sort of evolve and change with it and how just you know society and general humanity reacts to virtual reality becoming a really core essential part of our lives at some point just like the internet because it's definitely not going away and that's why a report on the fact that it's it's actually it's here coming more and more integrated yeah and people are like actually adopting that's why i like when mozilla that's big deal you're just like okay and then also google is has been working on something too i was reading I think everybody's working on yeah everybody there they are they're changing glass they stop the Explorer program we didn't report on that because that was kind of a bummer but but on top of that I'm kind of waiting to just see what they're doing next with it which they're working on obviously in Google Labs so we'll see what's going on Google last probably later this year okay this next story has a lot to like yeah 333 printed oh yeah we're gonna we're gonna get through this so wind Sun is this Chinese company that's been making 3d printed buildings for a while now like three they've been um making like prefab kind of houses and stuff so last year they made this claim and said that they we built ten houses in 24 hours using a proprietary 3d printer that they have so here we're looking at some of the pictures right now of like this some of their 3d printing and their their structures which is pretty cool but now now they are showing off a five-story apartment building so it's a it's a that's it whoo that was 3d printed that's unbelievable which is pretty cool so here's the deal with it it has so many questions it's five stories high and it's also got an eleven thousand eight hundred forty square foot villa in it so there's like not just little tiny apartments the 3d printer that made this it's actually an array so it is an array of 3d printers it is too I feet tall 33 feet wide and 100 the 32 feet long it's huge yeah and well it has to be because it makes these giant pieces in it in the facility that it's housed in and then what happens is they take the pieces as you can see these pictures they take those pieces to the construction site and then insulate them and also add steel reinforcement and everything to make sure it's up to code otherwise it would be like a house made of Legos so she come but they already checked it out and they were like this is fine people can live in this to code uh arently to code like it's it's got its it's insulated it's steel reinforced so it's it's I would imagine actually maybe in some ways better than some of the prefabricated houses we've seen made previously um this is the interesting part to me is that the process apparently according to them saves thirty to sixty percent of construction waste so no way so less construction waste because you're you know exactly what you're gonna need rights not oh we bought extra you know we didn't really know a fifty to seventy percent decrease in production time because obviously it's a 3d printer yeah so you're not constantly making stuff and then also a fifty to eighty percent decrease in labor costs yeah so this this entire like I think they said the whole building was like it cost 160 thousand dollars yet did you say how long it took to make it uh I didn't I don't know if I saw that um I would imagine it I mean I'm sure it took them longer than 24 hours for ten right I just want to know like compared to an action yeah I don't know it would be really interesting to see and I almost wonder so this makes me wonder if um they have bigger dreams they want to do skyscrapers and bridges with this proprietary 3d printing array which is pretty sure yeah sounds very scary ya know that I against care citing I think it's a theme of your aesthetic show your side um I don't know that I would drive my car across the 3d printed bridge I would be really scared yeah but in like ten years you're not gonna have a choice I won't even be a big deal like our children are and grandchildren god grandpa Kol it's just a 3d printed bridge nobody cares grandpa put on your 3d printed shoes and let's go okay you're like your 3d printed Kanan let's we um so yeah I love it I live in a 3d print an apartment for sure I think I would and they said that they were rich they were able to do like details with like all sorts of stuff in the building like already pre printed which is pretty cool so like molding and stuff like that like you don't have to add that I think that's part of the construction costs you have to buy that stuff just print it into if something goes wrong yeah and then if something goes wrong in your apartment like you get mad punch a hole through the wall the three print a little 3d printable punishment so you and your management people aren't stuck yeah it's good for you all right well we're gonna take a quick break we're gonna be right back with backorder Hackett we have a little game we're gonna play in with faculty are you don't don't get scared look mischievous and I'm excited and then we also have your user feedback and of course our photogra for the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show funny joke sharing a hilarious we didn't say um okay so i went to pack self this weekend mmm and not least the inaugural XL pack south it was delightful san antonio is a really interesting weird city for those of you who live there riverwalk is pretty cool you'd like it it's like a river underneath all the roads and there's bars and restaurants mexican the mex okay okay that's coming i have something Wow does that were amazing shout out to Rio Rio restaurant um but because i was at pack south i found something that i thought would be perfect for back at her hack and it just started its kickstarter so let's do back at her hackett oh you got some books here we got some books okay so this is actually a game it's a card game called bring your own book Oh card games all right so it's like a party like you bring us to a party your cards against humanity apples to apples type of thing okay I'm jackal sorry so how it works is you actually use physical books so everybody brings a real book whatever kind of book you want Prust michi chuck palahniuk as I brought today Chuck Palahniuk and okay so what happens is there's a whole stack of printed cards and there are two prompts on the cards and the person who's the judge can choose which prompt you use then everybody opens their book finds a passage that fits the prompt and then the best one gets the card and the point so kind of like cards against humanity right okay so um but but they do it in the actual game with if somebody finds a selection they say I got it and then a timer starts for a minute and everyone has to find their stuff within that minute we're gonna do it a little bit differently I actually spoke to the co-founder of the game and he gave me some real printed cards like actual production run cards that you will these are the cards that you would get it was just not yet it's not out yet cut so let's try this let's do this ok so i have apathy which is one of my favorite books it has a lot of swearing in it but it made me laugh really really hard oh and then choked by chuck palahniuk which is also one of my favorite authors it a real it's soup you can take both of them home okay perfect i will be one okay you will you take apathy and i'll take choke all right okay so we've got our book so let's go okay so now we have to find a passage that it is the name of a beauty product name of a beanie product okay all right so I'm gonna look up maybe okay I got one okay go mommy caricatures of the death oh that doesn't sound like it's somewhat what does it perfume the name of a beauty product like that sounds like it'd be a really weird face cream oh god I'm out of mummy I need mommy mommy yeah but mommy's for men is it organic it's for my mommy is not organic not organic okay so that's ok so that's one and then the drawer would pick which one they thought was what's best so you guys are gonna pick which one was the best out of that and then you you guys are the are the judge here so we'll tell you who wins I don't know how we're gonna find out that because we can't count every comment in the internet but will feel the secret password to a magical cave okay okay I got one okay so you go ahead i had lost tsuj forever mine is my memory isn't any good yeah I feel like you should win that one just on all right we doing one more so i can get they get the idea okay this is how weight on your supposed to switch boy ever supposed to switch books after each one okay and then here's here's the other thing so the co-founder told me this particular one is best used with the end of one sentence in the beginning of another sentence so just FYI dialogue from a badly translated japanese RPG oh boy all right ready so use what's the rule for this is the end of one sentence at the beginning of a next one usually helps make it a little bit funnier okay are you good yeah okay go uh it had come too I already had salt haha brain-dead loser dude that I can live with yeah that one that one works okay cool so what is this game call him okay it's called bring your own book and you can do the Kickstarter is on right now its 22 bucks to get the printed to pack but if you're a little broke that's okay because you can go over to the website and you can you request a download of the print your own pack they have a printer on Patrick's like cards against humanity um but this is the full like printed deck that their kick starting right now I totally backed it I like I I love books I've lots of books in my house and I also love games like cards against humanity so this is perfect yeah yeah it's a free seems like it'd be a really fun party game yeah and and and we need some more card games that besides cards against humanity here's my thing so with cards against humanity it's like you just get used to the same cards all the time bingo yeah when you have people bring your own books over stuff gets weird yeah it gets weird you guys so I like actually involves creativity to ya be a little creative about it I just think it's really cool so yeah bring your own book I definitely definitely back it this is probably one of the most like exciting fun ones that it's fun it's super super fun good job yeah thanks I was just he I just happened to talk to him at pack south and then that's it came up in conversation that he was there showing off his Kickstarter game and I was like oh what is it and then he explained it to me and I'm like I have to put this on the show like it'll be on tomorrow article yesterday like that's gonna be on the show tomorrow um so yeah that's what it is you can head over there to bring your own book I dig it so yeah a double-double bakit we highly double back you um he's got to put that on the box yeah don't put it on the box what's a pull quote from us on the box um with us going like like uh all right guys it's time for your user feedback I supposed to someone else's user feedback I don't know um mom's user feedback their moms user feedback I don't want you watching that Ashley in that coil that weird kale man doesn't remember my no likely yes this is my oil like that's a name coil um okay so last week we asked you guys use the hashtag TD class and tell us what class you would want cuz Harvard did that class about space exploration yeah yeah let's hear it alright so Rob emailed us and he said I would take a class in robotics so I could help design and build companion robots to help the elderly and physically disabled Rob good guy Rob yeah we're gonna change your meme it's not good guy greg anymore it's good guy Rob uh it would basically he wants to build like a c-3po yeah type thing okay I like that um Tony wrote us and said I want to take a class on how to build awesome killer robots hashtag dooms they are okay Rob bad guys you rob you need a yeah yeah this is nope nope there's there's gonna be a war between the like elderly helper robots and the bad robots please I just want to hug you looks like job and then Rick rug doesn't said speaking of speaking of Education a class about the history of gaming new gen needs to know the era of Atari and nes I like the history of gaming oh yeah yeah that's what they have to learn how frustrating those games were I think how they built you is a better person I think any person under the age of like 15 should be forced to into when you want a new console like the Xbox one you should be forced to beat like ghosts and goblins any yeah it should you have to beat it exactly you can't just play it and be like oh this is really frustrating think it should be like the draft like like in America you get drafted but like you have to you have to play a certain game like like the wizard but mandatory I like that ok and then Matt wrote to us lastly and said i would like to learn how to pick out clothes like kale and print out replicas of his clothes hashtag printer in a printer TD class you're looking very patriotic today I just you should have saved this for President's Day as all I'm saying it's literally was not ready for that cup blue pants and a flag shirt look it's red white and blue all day we ran out of the house and I was like I wear shirt there's American flag waving instead of Captain America captain and I ran away hey buddy bring back my patriotism his elderly help a robot after you I'm all about 3d printed clothing this I second that happens I'm only wearing 3d printed click new shirt every day shatter it build a new shirt build a new shirt oh yeah when it yours patch it with another chant like a little link yeah 3 spill some ketchup on it pull out that little piece 3d print a new piece I like it all right guys
