on today's show researchers create a vomiting robot to study viruses a really cool compass that doesn't require you to be able to see it to use it and guess what astronauts looking to get drunk in space your answer is finally here Oh first world space problems sera daily bringing citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ink talk show in the known universe I'm actually skeleton that's kill anonymous we're back after a safe first world and then space outer world space problems first space station some first World I don't know we're hiring an editor towards it to write our script right right heading our script now I have that still first world cuz they're from Earth those are their problems they just happen to be in Earth's orbit first okay I'll still count in his first world cuz they're in our orbit alright you win this time all right fine let's have headlines so log this under the category of first world space problems ah because you know you know our december i havent know that you know our this drink anything in space yeah literally in microgravity will float all around and be in a bubble and getting to the engines and all the electronics it's not a good thing I have this big like Capri Sun looking packs yeah the little squish bottles well uh a whiskey company has decided that it wants to help the astronauts get tipsy drink drink drink your whiskey in the right way which is to sip it you don't want to drink it through a straw of course so they've created a device that will let them like sip at their whiskey in microgravity that's pretty amazing so uh this thing is the thing is not very easy to explain um but i will tell you look like it there's like a million pieces yeah they're all the concept designs i'm sure yeah there's there's there's a lot of cool stuff going on here um give me one second yeah so basically this whiskey company has decided they wanted to create a device and basically the way it works is the bottom of the bulbous class is made of gold-plated stainless steel it contains a spiral ring for a reservoir of whiskey to cling to through a phenomenon known as capillary action the whiskey is drawn upward through a helical helical channel within the side of the glass to a mouthpiece at the rim for a space traveler to drink oh wow so they don't have to like you there's no suction at on boss so that's pretty awesome right yeah so it uses similar mechanism as the espresso cup that they use on the ISS okay and what the great thing is that this can be 3d printed so the astronauts don't need to be set these glasses they have a 3d printer on the space station yeah then you can print out the whiskey cups anytime they want um they also need a drink it's going to take you three days to prepare come on so they also to test this they used a very tall tower which you saw at the beginning of this called the Tsar mop tower then Germany used to research the microgravity experiments all right to see how that worked yeah I think they do a lot of space kind of space generalized space experiments there so that's pretty cool so there you go they're not it's they're not looking to like mass produce it just yet but yeah belen tea Valentin whiskey is really hoping to get some some magical moments hey man space tourism is gonna be big and you know you're gonna want to be like Don Draper as you're in your suborbital rocket checking out earth you're gonna want to be you know have a nice how nice fine glass of whiskey so maybe that maybe that'll be a thing there you go pretty good space tourism it's a good idea I mean listen it's gonna be a thing someone's gonna want to or need to get alcohol up in a rockets like when we have actual space tourism when like virgin virgin goes Virgin Galactic goes up into space with SpaceX starts doing those like you know those rocket trips people are paying money for like two boys at $250,000 or something for a ticket it's like they serve alcoholic beverages on these flights on a regular flight so why not in space yeah so that's smart I drink it out of a Caprice I'm probably patent it and then all of the alcohol companies will have to buy it from eminen will be super-rich there you go there thinking ahead uh so that brings us to our hashtag of the day which is TD drink we want to know tttttt cocktail you changed it since we walked in here now TD cocktail so we want to know now that you can drink in space what type of alien would you think you could sit down and have a drink with you can be fictional come okay okay it could be like et would you have a drink of thing I would have not having ed he is the most boring basic alien and the entire well maybe it gets really fun and likes to party if he drinks oh and then he like glows and it's like a ring yeah yeah I wanted to be ET uh no I definitely want it to be um what is it that green space lady from Star Trek all right okay you know that one yes I do that's thought I was just that just a nice sexy alien babe yeah just mean babe Oh what about you I would go you know Star Trek like I thought of Star Trek to i think i would have it I don't know if he'd have a drink with me because he's half Vulcan half-human bus fuck I don't have a drink with Spock and like talk about the universe seemed like he'd drink get philosophical with it you know like you have a drink or two you start thinking about the vastness of space and time do you do that I do that so yeah I would do I would want to have a drink with Spock I think I'll be right fun and if not Spock then I'd sit down bones bones doctor oh ok yeah boats savage your good thoughts let seems pretty good now we could commiserate about how miserable you're not the stick in Star Trek you can do it you do any alien alien fictional pyramidalis yo ho that's a good ones a good ones lately all right tell women I'm sorry good you feel like I'm getting drunk with some beautiful ladies who are also aliens come drink with kale okay so let's talk about this really cool compass this is pretty awesome it's called Anna motifs and this is an engineer named Adam Spears who designed this he's a postdoc in robotics at Yale so definitely a really intelligent guy and this is it it's actually it's kind of like a compass but it's designed to help people get around without being able to see so if you have visual impairment or if you even if you can fully see and you just want to to get around without having to constantly be looking down on your phone this device is pretty awesome so it's a 3d printed a device that helps you sort of find which way to go based on its movement so it has two different ways of moving so it can extend out the top piece can extend so and then also can rotate so it says oh you need to go this way it'll extend out and tell you which direction to go and it will actually get closer to the center as you need to slow down so when it centers again you know you have to stop and wait for your next direction so it might rotate and turn right so then you would go right cool just pretty cool so um right now they didn't they use this in a very interesting way which was what you were just seeing the the complete darkness video that you were looking at they actually use this in serve like a theatrical sort of a stage play where but I think they adapted this story the cutest astronaut I've ever seen in my life by the way it's a sick Welsh maybe she's an alien you should come have a drink there so but they did this thing where they picked somebody with a visual impairment and somebody without set them in a pitch-black church and then had actors performing the play around them as they were navigating through the pitch darkness with vianna motives which is pretty cool wow so it's kind of like an experience I concept very high concept is to experience but they that's that's how they were using it and right so right now Speier says that it's used with sensors in the room location sensors in a room but he wants to be able to expand that and have it just connect to like for example your GPS on your phone and then it would be you be able to use it anywhere because especially he didn't want it to have any sound or any light because one if you're visually impaired you're not really maybe see that light very well and then the other thing is is cities are loud and your senses are heightened if you have a disability in one so you're I'm sure you're hearing is well like daredevil you're hearing is very sensitive so if you were trying to get around the city trying to listen to this little tiny cube while the whole metropolitan areas honking cars and people walking by and noises and just all different kinds of sound there's no way you'll be able to hear that little box so they wanted it to be as easy as possible to use while still giving the most effective directions which is pretty cool so it's like it's like a compass for the visually impaired pretty awesome a weird way to show it off I like it yeah yeah yeah I dig it i think it's a really cool thing and then i love you beautiful astronaut yes well well done pretty astronaut lady in the costume all right i got to tell you about this I saw this story a couple weeks ago and you guys actually sent this in a few times but I wanted to wait for video of it and it's a short video but so worth it a research team at the University of North Carolina North Carolina State University I'm sorry they made a vomit robot and this is it vomit machine and loo looks disgusting it looks terrible and there it is blowin chunks but now we have video thanks to the BBC that made this video they want to study the transmission of the norovirus so norovirus is a pretty common virus it makes you feel real sick in your stomach and a lot of people get it and it's very highly contagious and they wanted to see if it could spread through the air and sure enough they created a vomit machine and found out that indeed norovirus can in fact we spread through the air and and at an alarming rate so it's a lot of virus / like / you know X like expulsion I guess so yeah they one of the researchers who's in charge of the project is this interview and she's like we wanted to use chunky vomitus like fake vomit us but we couldn't because the limitations of machine and for that I am grateful because that would have been super gross but what it is right now is it's it's actually quite tasty it's just dyed green vanilla pudding so they just spit it out on so that's they're studying how its spread so that's why it throws up into a box and then they can see exactly where it splatters and then they can say oh well this is how its transmitted and all that other stuff pretty gross robot yeah puke and robots guys puke and robots pretty good on that note we are gonna take a very quick break but before we go you have to check out this drone who caught a fish was just pretty pretty great you you you give a drone a fish he eats for a meal but if you teach a drone to fish she can eat for life profound pretty good um but yeah we'll be right back it's tomorrow daily Oh welcome back to the show we've returned it's a it's a Tuesday we're off yesterday it's a no back at her Hackett maybe tomorrow maybe I've got something that might terrify you but pretty good pretty cool but for now since it's Tuesday we're gonna talk about something you do like and that doesn't terrify which is always new releases but one of these things might terrify well we'll talk about in a minute until super mario maker is coming out this week friday it's time you could finally create your own Mario levels reviews across the board I've been pretty good like what are they I haven't seen tens but I've seen a lot of like eight to nine okay so a lot of people say it's very solid very interesting I don't remember who wrote it but i love the might-have-been kotaku had said this game just should not have been made I'm shocked that this game was made because Nintendo is so protective of their ips that to give people complete free reign over creating Mario levels is just mind-blowing like the idea that that's a thing is really mind-blowing okay and so um but people really love this I I mean you can literally do this much maddening I don't I don't really want to place always absolute madness i will say that and like the other thing is is yeah so it's like sometimes you can even go all the way from like eight bit mario all the way up to i think it's like 64 bit or we level Mario's like 60 SNES Mario so really great stuff you if you didn't see the Nintendo World Championships the finale was five levels five Mario maker levels that they had to run through that we're really challenging but yeah pretty impressive amazing um we talked about this how this really if it had been released at the wii u launch could have been a really great console seller because it literally shows you exactly kind of it shows you exactly what you would be looking for in terms of why the wii u exists like it makes great use of the gamepad it is a perfect example of the hardware like really shining for the wii u and so it's it's super good you can share levels this is like the big thing that people are really excited about you're gonna be able to play levels and you're gonna be able to go download like the best makers in the world they're gonna be making these levels and you're gonna get to see them and all those man Logan are you gonna get this not for him you guys are like super in the Nintendo not here's my ability can download other levels from other people and their crazy not as right yo what was him and I are still playing metal gear you are that's true right Logan yeah that's and that's a lot of hours so I understand but yeah Super Mario maker 50 hours years and also a little anything but yeah I don't know this kills ever gonna finish metal gear um alright let's talk about the visit which is the movie that's coming out this weekend I'm actually its eminent Shana lon yeah but it's like a it's like a found-footage style could redeem could redeem maybe somebody's told me that it was it's like finally he's good is he back he is he back uh this these commercials have terrified me ever since I saw them like with the grandmas standing there and it says these kids you go to their grandparents house and they're excited to be there but there's some weird stuff going on and they make sure they go to bed every night at nine thirty and there's a scene where the grandma is like telling the daughter like go good can you reach into the oven and client can't climb in there and clean go get clean it out and then she like no no really get in there and it's just terrifying me this whole movie seems incredibly scary it seemed this seems really weird it's not an explanation of it where it sounds scary the grandma's coming at you I'm just like maybe she's possessed we don't know yeah we don't know what's the twisted joint what they're quick em night didn't he say he didn't want his name on this like because he didn't want people who expect a twist or there's something he's been talking a lot about this movie sure did do a lot of press for it yeah yeah they might have been that he was worried about the twist people expecting an awesome maybe there's no choice maybe was just a straightforward story maybe that's the twist there is no twist unevenly wake baby nevermind God maybe as I say the twist is that there is no twist but then he paid that twist so there would be a twist oh I like it when you're watching tomorrow daily and inception all right let's talk about let's go way back back in our time machine and talk about your user feedback from last week I think we talked about this at what Wednesday TD hulu try went to hulu and people wanted to pay extra oh yeah free right you business uh you guys have very strong opinions about this very strong opinions some people are even angry some people at us no just angry at hulu okay go on uh so Walter wrote in and said I would pay twenty dollars per month for no ads and offline viewing for all Network shows which is a pretty serious that's like Adam and that's it i would say that that's a real incredible demand Kevin rodent said nope no four dollars more for hulu fine with ad breaks needs more variety same at over and over I'd pay for tomorrow daily though whoo Kenan Watts Kevin wats team Kevin watts is i'm on team Kevin men team can today yeah yeah way to go man uh Andrew Rodin said I'd pay anything with an asterisk if there was a two-time playback speed seriously how can anyone binge-watch at one time speed can't even watch tomorrow daily at one time speed that means if he watches this at two times speed the show is over in about ten minutes which seems pretty legit and we probably sound like chipmunks I mean we sound like Chipmunks normally right I'd have can't even it may be dogs can hear us it we should just talk really slow to screw this guy over how does that sound ah I'm done that's pretty as we grade the joke was okay with you on that one uh so when he left an asterisk and I looked and he didn't actually write anything else so I think he says anything in that Astrid means within reason like not a hundred dollars I've never tried the watching binge watching things faster than faster I think I could if it was like our show there's a talk show but then cuz that's like listening to a podcast at twice the speed but then I think I don't know that I could do like walking dead am I do I mind the only person that do you do that Logan I do one and a half speed it's just that it's just slightly faster just slightly so that you can get a more efficient and I drive drive in no I like that I like that I just asking all right so yeah I'd say talk shows yes a dramatic shows no and comedic shows because you there's a sense of timing in there that only gets really relayed through actual the speed at which it was intended to be played I don't know that's just me and then lastly Mitch wrote and said sure I would pay the extra four dollars if it was all that free and also if they just add all 10 seasons of friends I could only dream and then he has a little sniffly sad face that's what that's the you know the problem nobody told him life was gonna be that way no it's true should I know yeah you should have I just could have you said up but we just do lunch like that but if you watch that at two times the speed you would be on time yeah totally i did that on purpose from i did on purpose for Andrew alright guys let's talk about our last piece use your feedbacks time for our phone target for the day see you said that fast I thought you said fast so that sounded like portman unintelligible I'm sure you can't even hear no we're obsessed with this thank you Andrew uh Cody wrote in to us and sent us this picture from a device that we haven't had we haven't had on the show yeah blackberry q5 he says hey my name is cody i have a few pictures from you from barry's bay and canada is one of the most beautiful places I've been it is a very small town I took the pictures on a blackberry q5 I also give you permission to use my photos keep up the good work guys so got some really really nice pictures here of barry's bay and Ken blackberries bag I'm assuming it's blackberries bag yeah yeah is that maybe blackberries backyard and Waterloo wow that place looks gorgeous yeah this is amazing my brother went to Yosemite this weekend he sent back so many nice pictures and I was jealous but this is pretty equivalent to a fantastic National Park excursion in the US that's amazing i'm very cool gorgeous pictures yeah it's interesting to see photos from a blackberry yeah they don't they look good I think I look good and a q5 is not i don't think it's like a major flagship think it's like a one-step is there a reason why they're square probably because he took them for instagram some people have sent a minute they've already cracked them for instagram or they take them in square mode and i just sent over to us but if you guys want to send in your phone tog raphy you can you can email us tomorrow at cnet com send us your picture what device you took it on give us permission to use it in the show and also tell us a little story about it cuz we love story time and of course you can keep up with the show on social media or tomorrow de Leon like Facebook Twitter all that stuff but really really come hang out with us i'm at ashley scott on twitter and I'm Matt Cail anonymous and whole lot on Twitter on the Twitter on Twitter excellent and if you want to send anybody to the show just send them to tomorrow daily com it's just that easy that's it for our show today we'll be back tomorrow the brand new dock at weird wonderful science back science fiction gaming geek pub culture tell the stuff okay but now do it slow for Andrew I don't want to I won't you know why because it's not being a human will see you guys you
