2015-02-18
a bunch of random people may win a trip to Mars to live and die cool that doesn't sound that cool it's a bird it's a plane it's a pizza flying at your head delivered via drone in Singapore and the shower of the future is finally here and it's it's not really what you think it is it's tomorrow daily oh you're dancing I was dancing with you is your infectious oh hey everyone welcome to tomorrow daily your source of future tech and robots and science and all kinds of great crap i'm kailyn onimous and today ashley is not here so we have a special guest my new best friend Alison Rosen hello everyone I'm very excited to be here I've never felt like I'm gonna clap right here I've never felt more lame about my name than sitting next to kale anonymous oh I want to be a lafours can I be Alison anonymous you can pick ya you're gonna be Alison mystery okay that's pretty good Alison mystery yeah you're like in a band now we're in the the ? like the john and jane doe's so uh so obviously ashley isn't here she's back home nursing her dogs who are who are a little ill uh I feel I don't want to bring the show down about that I'm Jane if you follow on Twitter just say like i love your dogs and i love you or something like that but allison is here just join us easy tag Doug love um but I yeah so you're here joining us can you tell us just a quick little bit about yourself and then we'll plug all your stuff at the end um I am very excited to be here and I hosts a podcast called Alison Rosen is your new best friend and I hope you'll all go listen and I realize that you said we plug it at the end but I'm plugging it now what am i doing oops well we're gonna have to delete this segment or this whole episode anyway so we got a lot of great new stories for you some very opinionated about me tell so let's get started so if you've ever wanted to go to Mars now is your chance to get sent there to go and just hang out on Mars and then just straight up just die on Mars so basically what's going on is mars-1 has this whole contest in which you can apply to go to Mars be one of one of a few contestants to go to Mars and on a one-way trip to this sad sad little planet uh so be at you there yeah cannot get you back there just like good luck suckers so basically that this is actually been in the news for a while but the story today is that it's closer to happening there on stage three of this Mars one has narrowed down to 100 contestants from 200,000 people that applied these crazy people that are actually inexperienced they don't actually they're not like astronauts crazy that 200,000 people are signing up for a mission that's essentially a snot not to bring everyone down like you said earlier essentially a suicide mission you probably will die unless of course that's really cool that you got to see Mars before you died but it's questionable how long you'll get to enjoy it if you're a youtuber you get to go first rats so there's that I think that's the appeal but uh I don't know as crazy as they sound I would do it but let's keep going really uh yeah i'll get to that bad but let's let's hear about these maniacs that one of the 100 contestants there's contestants from all over the world now here's the most crazy contestant his name is m 1 KO and he says he wore that in the 90s you want to earn em 1 KO he says he's actually a Martian he's 100,000 years old and he wants to go on the trip so that he can show people around Mars so you can see where these contestants are going they're not like looking for like strong buff dudes like punch holes in Mars or whatever I think strong buff toes do so in this trailer we can see a little bit more of it it looks very reality TV show is right and that's because it kind of is so there's your catch we're not trying to further humanity as they say they are these 100 people will come 100 people will compete to be one of 24 people sent to Mars they'll be challenged to simulations teamwork and survival this Mars show is coming soon for us to watch so obviously it's a show will they go well they actually go I don't think so you don't you don't know no way they still they need funding like that's one of the things they're working on is actually getting funding they're actually trying to get advertisers so maybe like the spaceship will have like a formula one thing right Donald's and starbucks on the side so i mean i guess if they get people watching this i'll totally watch this without you oh I would definitely watch it wouldn't go I would not know there some I remember there was a story that came out that said that the first person will be will like the first people will begin dying within sixty six days it's you the people hope that they'll get to live out thousands of days however in reality apparently you're some people are going to only last a couple months because it has to do with like they're gonna be basically living in a biodome like the polish or vehicle and it'll be very humid so bad news for people with hair that frizz is and then like based on the oxygen and nitrogen levels there won't be enough oxygen for this is a real bummer yeah but you know go to also reveal Arians it how do you get all of your resources like you're gonna need water and and you're gonna also they're gonna get cabin fever and you know it we're gonna have a lot it look like great big brother on Mars that's I'm actually that excites me I don't board naked and afraid I don't think so too scared on Mars are they giving any kind of timeline for when they hope this could happen uh they're not really but they're about to accept applications for another round so I mean it looks like they're already excited to do it um but there aren't like there's fifty four year olds that are gonna potentially go so like it's nice it's not like they're really looking hard for can like people to send their what makes sense to me would be if you're sort of at the end of your life or you know that you're not gonna have a super long life what a cool way to go out yeah yeah just just like I do I don't Mars listen shit they're just getting sent ya if she makes it because I mean that's a trip so long our children watching the show or your children's children I want to i'm more into waiting until like the second and third wave of going to Mars oh when there's a return you know you can fly direct Mars to earth earth to mars you know a round-trip kind of action yeah I'm and when the kinks have been worked out I don't need to be an Olympian early adopter no it's not a good idea it's never a good idea I don't think so wait till I get the kinks out people are falling out of air locks I got to know that's that's a smart decision but that brings us to our question to you this is our TD of the day that's the TV what is it what's it 880 Mars one because this is the Mars one project TD Mars one how would you win the chance to go to Mars if you were a Mars one finalist so how would you impress them because we're going from 100 to 24 those people get sent so how do you get to the 24th what do you think how would you impress with your like fiery personality probably really excited it's a reality show they're going to be looking for their Omarosa type for their puck type throughout old school reality show reference yeah that's like a youngin real world bro who are the current villains of reality shows uh Kim Kardashian yeah they're gonna be looking for they're like oh she's tells it like it is you know you never know what she's gonna say next you want SAS on Mars that's cool right on as well I don't you want to be like the guy that's like analyst he's everyone's dumb I'm way cool all right I understand didn't come to Mars to make friends yeah that person all right cool I would just be like really into digging I'd be like look I'm gonna dig through this planet and you're gonna want me there because you want to see there's water underneath right I'm just gonna dig all the time like I brought my shovel collection my cowl collection I've made these shovel hand things I'm going to dig through the planets okay so tell us a TD Mars one how you would I get picked to go to Mars and die and then if we like your tweet will send you to Mars right yeah yeah no matter what age and if you're an alien we're gonna you're gonna you're not going to be here anymore you die so all right so tell us about the story of Hawaiian front flying Rupp like drones investors yes waiter drones this is a very familiar very cool thing a restaurant in downtown singapore is employing flying drones as its wait staff or rather to augment its waitstaff the drones help eliminate the need for the wait staff to weave through the busy dining area as the drones will carry the food and drink from the kitchen over the heads of customers once the drone gets to the table then a human wait staff member will still be needed to deliver the items from the drone to the customer and presumably offer them a napkin when the drone suppose the food all over their head now the drones don't require humans to navigate their fully automated and the restaurant itself will be outfitted with infrared sensors each drone can carry about 4.4 pounds of food and drink which is approximately like two pints of beer a pizza and two glasses of wine all that although okay all of that everyone's heats and beer shalini okay yeah at once and here's something the drones won't be putting humans out of work because the restaurant says that this will free up the wait staff to interact with customers and enhance the dining experience I don't know about you but for me what enhances a dining experience is not having a lot of interaction with the waiter yeah maybe that will you be alone I want to eat some food I was about to say that okay yay I now made a new friend like no no no one needs the chatty waiter okay so I'm like a good few more things um they're expecting the live debut to happen by the end of the year the project costs about it's in the low seven figures in singapore dollars which 1 million singapore dollars is about 800,000 US dollars so maybe it's about a breezy so very expensive yes and this does solve a problem happening in Singapore which is it apparently young Singaporeans shun jobs in the service industry because of the low wages and the perceived lower social status so you know if this were to happen here you might think hey this is putting people at a job despite what they're saying about you still need the human waiters you know that there are going to be in a fewer fewer wait staff jobs in a restaurant that is employing drones so if that were to happen here you might say well this is putting people out of work but in Singapore it's solving the problem which is that they need more they need more people in the service sector so will that in ice more kids to want to like work in the you know service industry I mean when you can play with rubato hang out with robots so are you impressed with this do you think this is a good step I think it's pretty cool good I I just can't help but imagine though that it's gonna hit someone in the head like happened at TGI Fridays in New York or that all of a sudden you're not report when you go to TGI Fridays that's right that's actually if it's your birthday at TGI Fridays they tie a bunch of balloons on you and then hit you in the head with a drone okay true yeah that's awesome that chuck e cheese to do you know I just I guys you know see the picture of the drone flying through the room with the liquid on it and I just imagined it spilling yeah so it's like a drunk guy though exactly the big thing to me I mean beyond the fact that even when it's still like you said when it flies up the table some a waiter starts to take it from that and put it on there how long will that really be necessary though because you could just you know if if it could just lower you could just pick it up yourself and that'd be even cooler because you'd have like direct droning if the gyroscope is good though cuz like if I take one beer off and it like loses its right oh that's true but more importantly the drones noise like it's gonna be flying around and you're gonna be like trying to eat you know yeah what your eyes that's perfect if you don't want to be like be broken up with just keep going in the juicer okay cool well I guess I you know I don't know if I'd you or whatever Wow drones wedding singer owns they're going everywhere you are and where you're eating okay so let me tell you about so we talked about going to Mars we talked about drones coming out all up in your business now I talk about technology call and coming all up in your shower because now we have the shower of the future and that's actually the name of the product which is pretty pretty grandiose their company company orbital systems in Sweden so this doesn't use any lasers or anti-gravity it just reuses your water over and over and over so the ideal and the idea and the goal here is that space has limited water so in the future space like you go into space you're not going to have an unlimited source of water and also earth it's also good to kind of conserve water there too so here's how it works you want to be clean before you die on Mars well he left it a clean corpse oh that's okay so here's how it works it's got five liters in the system which pumps water then it comes down onto you and then on the bottom it has a filter system with a microcapsule and a nano capsule the microcapsules for skin and hair the Nano is for germs metal and oil all of that is pumped right back onto you five liters right like it filters skin flakes or things like that and germs out of the water is off yeah so it's not it's not that bad apparently it's so clean it's better than your tap water oh wow so I mean that's that's pretty good so how much is this gonna cost you uh Allison asked me I was out of late yeah I did I said it so quick how much was how much is it gonna cost you something from the 1930s gonna cross so it's a 3200 euro or okay 3700 american dollars so but for those lot yeah but why not as much as you'd think if you are a bazillionaire yeah you view jay-z jay-z is like I haha that's easy for something called the shower of the future it's really somewhat affordable yeah i mean i don't really see a whole lot of future tech going up in here but it is it is pretty cool well i think they're just saying in the future one will shower you know yeah you gotta say yes honey i think is cool about this is that a lot of people use those low-flow water efficient words coming out of my mouth in the wrong order it was a little later yeah exactly or no water toilets are right right but with this i think you can have is you can use as much water as you want to pick up 30 minutes exactly with like a lot of water pressure yeah and one family can use the same water oh my god just that it sounds terrible but it's actually really like you know green so that's like what happens if you're the kind of person two peas in the shower and I was just about to say that I'm glad you got okay this is perfect this is working great so they didn't address i even it sits in capital letters it says urinating of it okay that is a tablet they tackled urination and apparently the system is worked out its got like sensors it has too many chemicals in it it won't filter it'll just take that water aside and unlike just get rid of it so like shampoo it'll all right name so it doesn't it can't filter it that well so you're just you can go it'll just go somewhere else so I'm glad you asked that again this is too they're saying that the cost will pay for itself because you're going to be saving money from from water what not filters are $25 just thought I'd throw that in there which is like the same as a Brita filter yeah it's not bad filter it's not was complaining about it wasn't like all the filters are $25 Hackett yeah I actually really like this yeah yeah what--right yeah i mean if i could afford it you see what it looks like it's really cool looking and a week right there's a couple different options right yeah about whether you like install the filter thing in the floor right something called a cabin yes yeah it's either way it's like four thousand dollars but yeah it's only a few options yeah look at this thing I think it's neat did you get this yeah I like it uh yeah I I'm not gonna move into a place right Nina install it you know sure i'll just do it i'll just keep the shower that's going right actually I just fill up a bath water like a bath tub and then I just jump into it like and for like a month and just clean off so that's my thing how gross is it by the end uh you can't see through it and you can just so we can put heavy pretty gross what have you things on the surface and it's just like is there um alright so we're going to talk more about my gross bathtub but we'll get back to you after this break with another round of back at our hackett so don't click away it's tomorrow daily the rubber ducky drowned that's when I no attempt to put the water so oh hey guys welcome back to tomorrow daily we've got a couple more things to tackle including back at our hackett which should be exciting to hear whether or not whether or not you want to see this product that's pretty crazy so let's do back in haggett I was just following your lead I'm not I can't see I don't know what I'm not looking at I'm definitely let me know what's safe i love that i got to use that more you don't know what to do and now here's the breakdance segment of the show okay alright so today I'm back at our hackett we have a portable your own transportation device I don't know if you like hovering around but this isn't their Board of who doesn't it doesn't I've never met a person this is airborne and basically airboard is your own little personal transportation device that works off of you lifting up into the air via these propellers that you know push you off off the ground into the air so let me tell you a couple of breakdowns of the technology here I'm already told ya it's got forces or propellers run by an Intel processor built in gyroscope electric-powered and it's controlled by you leaning so it's not like there's a remote control it's just like I wanna go left you lean a little bit left I'll go forward a little bit forward so you know you use that talking technology on segways yeah I could go wrong you could fall you can it's even like you can fold it up and I guess carry it I don't know yeah like put it in the trunk your car yeah if you need to hover and drive hold on I got a hover at the park yeah it's so there you go this it's got a so they're saying can be used in extreme conditions so they're like if you're a marine and you want to hover around in the snow or something you can use this it also has an app so you can remote control the vehicle so if you're not like hey buddy you're you know here you go it's they're saying they're going to try and ship it out in 2016 uh they're not doing so well they only have a hundred sixty dollars and they started on februari nine and how much did I've missed that I didn't miss how much they they need right it was obviously the tens of thousands if not hundreds but 160 bucks right now to 2016 so what do you think would you back it or hack it I would back it oh really I would okay this is really cool I'm wondering how high can you go though do you know because I'm a person it's only like off like a foot or two off the ground it's just it's just a little bit not it's not gonna like you're gonna do that you're gonna get above I want why oh um I think that'd be gay I think that it would mean was I helped CC r so somebody would step in and be like hey yeah hey only things serving food can go this yeah yeah you gotta be able to hit people that I still think this is cool because it is still in the realm of flying like I'm the kind of person where some of what superpower would you want I would want to fly now people have told me no you should want to teleport I have friends who feel very strongly that teleportation is the best superpower because what you can do anything with it and if you want to fly you just like teleport teleport teleport teleport mmm I think that's so fun he's so much work yeah you know you get what you trade yeah um I think this is cool I think if here's the downside though I don't want to have to dodge people hovering towards me on the sidewalk yeah you can't trust people no not with this sort of like unmanned like this technology especially if they're going to control it remotely like I don't know if you ski or snowboard but I haven't done any of that in years but my experience of being a skier is constantly being in threat of being run over by someone on a snowboard and I don't want this just to be like this urban version of a snowboard yeah cuz people will crash into you and it's a huge thing to its wide not like a little tiny like skit it's not like a hoverboard right yeah I think it's cool though wouldn't it be fun I would still want to try it at least I want hover technology i I'm hacking this really yeah I don't we don't hack a lot on here it's mostly back it but uh yeah i don't know like it's it's cool and all but it just it doesn't they haven't given a price point and it it doesn't seem like the fault i don't know it just doesn't make sense I'd rather just like learn to skateboard or go and fall on my face then get this board like a Segway I don't know hovering is just that it just doesn't seem it seems wide and it just kind of seems like unnecessary that it would be like a Harvey achill it doesn't have a wheel I get what you're saying the other point makes sense that what benefit does it give you the fact that you're a foot above yeah err I've been above the ground I get what but the same is Ross dream whether meaning like a personal said that a you can they're like they're like hey extra bonus if your marine and you're like in Afghanistan or whatever hover around Oh Lexi you don't hit any mines or anything I didn't think about that you can hover over the explosives yeah that's pretty Graham nice nice well I mean you found a solution to a problem that's true you should back it you should help them out okay all right so so so there you go back it all right nice all right so so now we're going to move on to some of the feedback from you guys we're going to move on to your user feedback I like that pretty good ok cool nope there you go there you go yeah all right uh so we asked about wait what was it otd torrent and we've got some responses here this is about you know what people thought about that bittorrent is going to now have some different productions yeah and content on their thing so Lane wrote to us and Lane said my problem with YouTube and bittorrent is that I watch a lot of my content as podcasts including tomorrow daily hey you're from that's a podcast oh yeah podcast that's not yeah no no I mean all so that's that's your day or now podcast land is where I hail fraud castle and gum ha Castlemaine robson up ooh that's not scared uh Matthew says I would like to see bittorrent bring back ER because who doesn't miss TVs country count County General oh ok sorry I've done never watched ER that Larry Clooney vehicle yes I Noah Wyle ok but I didn't watch and julianna margulies I think ok yeah from Good Wife but I didn't watch er yeah but maybe I bittorrent it I don't know yeah so what I mean like was there any content you would want to see bittorrent take on because I said that they need to take on other people's eye peas so a lot of that mean so you know there's a lot of fan films based on comics video games and stuff like that so take all of that sort of content make series of it so that people like they're like oh my god I've always wanted to see a bioshock many 6s oh yeah so than that people can do that it would draw people to bittorrent because indie stuff isn't always gonna draw people right anything you'd like to steal yours I want to see that because I think I was telling you before my husband is super into playing bioshock but if it was like a series then I would be into watching him oh that's the missing link yeah okay I know your kind of dead but you should think about doing that to kiss what is to cash okay makes bioshock okay so it's kind of a sensitive subject to soon all right so that moves that moves us on to our last piece of user feedback which is the photog refer of the day alright so this is where yeah it's a cool word yeah copyright you can't use on your podcast okay so basically something I was going to just you just change your name of your podcast so basically someone sent us a photo and they have a little story about it so today James sent us a photo here's James's photo oh wow that's really cool James took this with the galaxy s4 James says I took these photos with my samsung galaxy s4 what made these photos even more interesting was that they were tornado warnings and watches in the surrounding area these look like cloud tornadoes enjoy well you scared us James does a really cool yeah like it's kind of like a like a backlit type thing mm-hmm very cool oh yeah see who's got the like like the wiz right the wind thing in there I don't we know are you a meteorologist yeah the wind thing and then dig the heavy hands in the air and then
