on today's show a plan to clean up space trash that kind of looks like pac-man a 3d printed bridge that's going to be the first of its kind in the whole world plus a han Solo spin-off that we're going to tell you all about punch it Chewie greetings citizen to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley sceva joining me for the first time on the show a friend of mine a dear friend of mine a colleague an excellent of the same college Cameron Lewis joining us and also world's worst wiki impersonator I'm very throaty I don't you know little Flemmi it's a ya know it's you got time though we force awakens doesn't come out for at least another few months so you're good you're good and we're gonna be then we're gonna talk about a console or two but ok so really quickly before we before we move on to the headlines let's tell everybody at home who you are and who are you and what is your daddy do wow you know my dad he's actually an engineer so I'm at a little nervous about the bridge thing we're going to talk about oh ok all right well then you'll have to show him the show and like ask him about this 3d printed steel bridge I absolutely will because I don't I think he's gonna have some doubts about it yeah I am a radio host and a entertainment host I do some shows afterbuzz TV in d100 radio and my own podcast called the Cameron Lewis show that you guys can check out in itunes and anything like that and a good friend of yours yeah a good friend I i I've been on this guy's podcast we're gonna go listen to it it's a good one super good and really really fun um ok guys we have got a lot of talk about solatube headlines all right we're gonna get to Han Solo in a second but let's just really quickly talk about space trash we've discussed this on the show before there is a lot of trash up in our orbit apparently NASA estimates over 500,000 bits of trash bigger than the size of a marble so not some pieces are not so big but still dangerous we've all seen gravity you guys we know what happens in space trash gets out of control not good no never good so a lot of different groups and people are trying to figure out how to clean that stuff up and still keep it safe and so this is this was a pretty interesting proposal here this is from the EPFL they want to create a project they started this project back in twenty twelve it's called clean space one it's a satellite that they plan on and you can see this is how it's going to work it's going to to reach out this little net and it's going to grab space trash and then it's going to flick it into Earth's atmosphere and burn it up on re-entry that's the solution is just throwing it back at us throw it back at us well i mean i wish that maybe that happened to lures like if in the trash they threw it out and just throw we're right back in their car or something i think of a hilarious i think it's a fantastic plan um but yeah so okay so that little cube there is actually uh it's called swiss cube and it's up in space and they launched it up there a while ago and what they want to do is this a little 10 centimeter cube they want to go get it like they're gonna the plan is to go get it in a couple years so they're gonna go and extend this sort of net cuz before they wanted to use like a claw from Agra claw machine and then they wanted to use like other ways but then they've kind of discovered that almost like eating it like pac-man is kind of the way to go so they would let go and they would this net would eat this stuff and then they would take it you can see it's flying back down you'd burn up on re-entry is this a good cross promotion for that new movie pixels it's gotta be right that's what's going on here you're not fooling us you're not fooling us movie studios but it's I mean it's interesting enough it's there's a lot of precision involved they're gonna make this work they want to they've announced official plans as of yesterday to do this mission in 2018 they're gonna launch this mission in 2018 so it's going to take a few years taking three years to announce the official mission which will happen in another so they have to build the net they feel the whole thing they'll be the whole satellite so and then they and then once they get that done they got to send it up it has to reach orbit catch up to the Swiss cube and then it has to get the Swiss cube and then fling it back into these tell me that the graphics on the screen of the computer that controls this looks exactly like the pacman game I mean if it doesn't that seems like a real missed opportunity yeah they have to do this a real missed opportunity um so yeah that's what's going on with cleaning up space trash ah but now I think we can discuss what's really important that's gonna be happening in space and a galaxy far far away which is Cameron story a new Han Solo spin-off also coming out in 2018 okay wondering if they're coinciding I'm just gonna say again a studio this is studio this is studio poi yeah I pretend so so yesterday actually Disney and Lucasfilm announced that in 2018 a new han Solo origin story spin-off is gonna come around exciting for Star Wars uh directors chris miller and phil lord from the lego movie oh the lego movie who doesn't love the lego movie so funny and 21 double straight me about this 21 Jump Street cloudy with a chance of meatball meatballs was the first big one I think but so they know how to do funny yeah they know how to do funny which is perfect i think because this is han Solo that's why Harvey God yeah yeah you know driving rogue yeah oh he's a charming rogue we should have him in here the scoundrel I'm really excited to school though this is awesome I'm so happy with the choice of the directors I believe this is the first Star Wars movie or at least the first announced Star Wars movie where there's a duo directing yeah so I'm happy about that the writers of this film John and Lawrence cast in lawrence kasdan wrote for Empire Strikes Back can't get a better Star Wars writer than Lawrence Kasdan Raiders the lost art this guy knows what he's doing I his son John who's joining him to do the script wrote for Dawson's Creek and freaks and geeks uh I love freaks and geeks so funny yeah I so he's a funny guy who's freaking case was hilarious he'll be able to bring a little of that edge in which i think is a good thing yeah i think so i think with something like that i think you kind of have to have absolutely and they did mention when they announced this movie that this was actually supposedly this is not the movie that josh trank left right so josh glad you the boba fett right is reportedly a boba fett movie and he left and they're still I think working on that project but they kind of said no this isn't the same movie this is a new announced project which I'm a little surprised they didn't save this for comic-con it's like yeah in advance something must have happened something must have leaked they want to give you a story yeah they must have been like if somebody knows like we gotta get it out there before other people leak it yes here's a fun fact for you though Chris Miller actually interned at Lucasfilm did he many moons ago and so he's kind of coming full circle that's crazy in turn their weird magical that's pretty awesome it's so magical alright so we got to talk about the obvious questions so that brings us to our hashtag of the day which is TD uh we really TD solo me really thats thats you got to have TD solo yeah uh number one who's gonna play han Solo like cuz he's gonna be young it's a big can't have Chris Pratt you guys can't use Chris Pratt because he's too oh yeah ye Chris Pratt everything well that and he's he's too old to play a he's the same age Harrison Ford was when he played Han Solo in the original Star Wars so we can't it's there's no prequel there no big what's a lot younger he does um I think people just looked older back then it's like they just automatically like carrie fisher's like what 19 or something and she literally looked like she was like 30 yeah so I like I don't know how that is but then she like didn't really aged for a while and then I don't know I don't know that works movie magic movie magic I guess so who's gonna play han Solo and then also is there a plot that you would like to see how what's that what's the plot so what are you what are you thinking who's the actors you have a mind I'm thinking James Volk that's a good choice currently starring in zoo on CBS uh-huh uh it was on the crazy ones he has some comedic flair to him and also to the hoax he's he's actually not as old as you would think really he's about 30 ish somewhere here I think you gotta go like young tight like early 20s you want like somebody from Disney not necessarily but maybe so okay well who's who else you got who that's okay so James vogue is the first 1i have this when I have is james Van Der Beek well obviously James rhetoric but he's way too old looks great I don't know I think too old too old uh yeah also you know you can't have Dawson running around in the Millennium Falcon but John Kasdan wrote a couple episodes of Dawson screen I'm thinking hey there's a little connection there maybe they're still talking hmm maybe they can get him on board all right fairly james Van Der Beek the other one I was thinking miles teller all right whiplash miles teller a lot of a lot of critical acclaim has that has that kind of look about him could be it could be a you on the Harrison Ford he better fly the money and Falcon at my tempo he's yeah that's right don't be early and don't be late no um okay again here's my choices taron egerton from Kingsman the Secret Service look at him that way that guy Oh a great choice come by such a good pic is a good pic there's a deep does a deep cut cuz he's kind of unknown and I feel like it would be a great opportunity for him obviously every actor under the age of like 40 is gonna be begging to play this role yeah huge this huge star making roll uh I also really like Grant Gustin who plays the flash whoa he's right in that age bracket for me that's the age that I thought I could see Grant Gustin I could see that there's another another bit of a connection there Chris Miller and Phil Lord were in talks to potentially direct question right maybe they're thinking about taking him and they kind of know and then lastly I really like this Vic to Garrett Hedlund do a garrett hedlund look at that that's a that's a han Solo my friend good that's a young han Solo he would have what did hair is there to it is he's got that kind of there and he's really got that kind of roguish charm like it interviews and stuff you gotta see that roguish charm so i would say Garrett Hedlund that's that's my number one pick but those other two guys are great too really great as well but Garrett Hedlund just gonna play young Chui ah you know I don't know um Justin Bieber that's a good that's solid high pitch is high pitch smoky sounds yeah that's really sad so TD solo that's your tell us who you want to play in nope Pratt you guys know Chris Pratt can't do it you can't do it he's out yet this is the yet too obvious too obvious you're not a lot of pic that's too obvious TD solo do that all right let's talk about the 3d printed bridge that your dad might be interested in this is pretty fascinating i love this this is going to be the world's first 3d printed steel bridge it's gonna be a footbridge it's going to be an Amsterdam and here's how it's going to work so we have this video which is pretty cool the company is MX 3d they have created a sixaxis robot that has a welding machine attached to it and so what it does is it prints metals in all kinds of metals all kinds of materials so it won't be a plastic bridge like weezy no 3d printing yeah people assume plastic no this is steel this is a steel bridge and this robot is going to make it so this is a smaller version of the bridge they want to end up making and how it works is it can detect errors and correct them in real time it does not require scaffolding this robot all it does is it builds out an arm and then it walks on that ards on and keeps going anything and it has a ton of rotating ability it can rotate in any direction so it so it can literally print this entire 3d structure by itself because it can just go in kind of in a spiral all the way around and just keep building so yeah there it is printing out steel good that which is crazy-looking this video is amazing crazy straw it's he had does it's a crazy straw made of steel that you can't get anything out of so but that's the kind of material they want so you can see they have this kind of really beautiful kind of helix design and they want to they want to make this as a footbridge and it will support regular uh regular folks walking across it all the time that's amazing that's a they said it based on the robot right now it would take about that's a smaller version of the bridge right there right take about two months to to build a full-size bridge but they won't be ready to build that bridge until 2017 so that's how it work they use two arms and then they build everything out and then the robots or just keep building it all by itself I'm happy they're starting with a footbridge yeah I'm not going for the car because that would make me a little bit nervous about using it maybe not a time to swing for the fences I think you're right i think you're definitely right this is not time to be like let's do it so that big rigs can go across now let's just let's hope we're in gate sighs yeah maybe just hold off on that it was this could be a first step toward something like a golden gate bridge all fully 3d printed which is pretty amazing it's crazy when you see the video of the thing just sliding along what it created you know just hours ago it's amazing it kinda reminds me of the little balsa wood things that you create like in grade school a little little bridges and set probably much more sturdier than that probably more certain gonna be okay but yeah so they they're working on this they haven't said exactly where in Amsterdam they're gonna put this bridge I've even announced it yet but in September in Amsterdam there's gonna be a visitor's center where you're able where you will be able to go and learn about the progress of the bridge so once i think it's September we'll know exactly where it'll be and what the progress is on it you can like check in on the progress of the bridge which I think it's kind of kind of great so that's a good flight that's a yeah we're gonna have to tomorrow daily live from Amsterdam I am in so that is it for our news headlines we're gonna take a quick break when we write back with a totally insane Mod Squad that makes me very very happy and also your user feedback and our phone talker for the day so don't click weights tomorrow daily Jeff you're just now joining us i'm here with cameron lewis magnate of radio and television entertainment terrible Chewbacca impersonator I'm doing that gotta really stopped you in Houston yes maybe it's just not a great idea to quit half of the audience just stopped watching they're done but the other hat in my car you're weird collar yeah I mean really you're just you're blowing it right now a first-timer never coming back ever coming back okay guys we got to talk about this crazy Mod Squad so Logan hit the graphic a friend of mine sent me this very interesting craigslist post that popped up in Oregon Eugene Oregon this guy says he's like what did he call himself oh here's a quote from them I'm gonna read you this quote okay presenting your chance to be the proud owner of the only dinosaur skeleton that has been reanimated through the mysteries of science and technology it's a tricycle it's a tricycle we have some images of this it's it's a bike and it's a shape of a small t-rex and here's the best part you can totally it's a puppet as well so you can ride your little t-rex trike and the handlebars control some wires that go to the mouth so you can like open the mouth up do the jaw and then the pedals also have control is that control the arms so you can wave and then I do a little Flay a little wave whatever little tiny arms well miniature t-rex strike right there look at that it's hard for me to think about using this and not just picture me rolling up falling over in falling over the seats leaving back really far it does not I don't know but I would be so tempted to just terrorize my neighbors with this thing I would really like to put some music in there and like literally just play ridin dirty like it just cruise down my hood like that seems like the way to do it right do not um I just want Chris Pratt to ride this thing like just down the road like it seems like a perfect photo opportunity for Chris Pratt uh this guy spent months putting together this entire thing it's fabricated on a bicycle and he took it all apart put it all back together he's look there's like foam pieces and all this stuff there's some cons though if you're thinking about buying it so we're gonna I'm really sorry there's a couple of things that you need to be aware of buyer beware caveat emptor you have to be aware that you're gonna be constantly repainting and refinishing this thing because apparently it is a moving bicycle and things move and they rub against each other which means the paint rubs off so it's also feeding it gotta feed the thing I oh you got a kit you gotta eat at least six children a day it's just really it's tough it's really telling you or one adult human I mean six kids wanted all human either way um but yeah so it's two thousand dollars per cost you a grand Wow do you want would you would you if money were no object would you buy it I mean I kind of feel like that's a small price to pay to be the king of the Dino trikes you would be the talk of your town you can start tricycle dang good you try getting a t-rex a dinosaur at right gang that's such a good idea I think that seems like a really great cartoon so Disney call me what will make this great is if we have little Triceratops velociraptor you guys come along with this yeah ones for the kids for kids of course for the kids I think it's totally worth two thousand dollars I if money was no object if I was Oprah rich I'm by one by one for everybody you get a trike raptor you get a tricycle machine you gotta try crafter you get a trike Triceratops Triceratops Triceratops and you have you also yeah you get one too patent pending patent pending yeah of course it's ours I love this so much it's just really funny uh he'll include he'll throw in a can of white paint for touch-ups if you buy it for two thousand on what a deal but he decided he's not the right writer for this poor tricycle and it needs the right magical master to tame it I like that yes that's why he's sound like it like it just does nothing right right anymore like I you know maybe you should be the one that takes this thing in who is the chosen one who's the harry potter of dinosaur tricycles i don't know i don't know who that person is alright guys we've talked enough about that guy let's talk about you and it's time for it your user feedback alright so we're still waiting on some san diego comic-con tweets to Roland I figure we'll keep that hashtag going I we had somebody mentioned that they were surprised we didn't hear about a pizza throwing machine at comic-con because last year they have the the pizza shooter that you go shoot pizzas 40 and renew turtles um so I figured we'd go for some more web bots which we just story on Monday about two robots who got married and and we asked what what do you get a robot couple whose freshly married because getting them a toaster seems rude like it seems but it seems really know I was to get a room by myself it's like feeding a chicken eggs yeah it's kind of weird a little bit odd yeah it's a little strange so uh lewis wrote in and he said get them lots of beer hashtag futurama hashtag bender OS love that that's a good one the good one Dustin wrote in and said I would get them a free month of internet access so they can merge all their online accounts together haha hashtag aww Dustin's think in a marriage clouds yeah yeah that's what he wants it's a community property state when you marry a robot and then link wrote in and said I would give them oil so when they get old and rusty they can loosen oh wait you you're assuming they're gonna be together forever link is a romantic is it all romantic nice job link and then Kirk road this one makes me laugh Creek Road and said haha get them a cradle and hope for a new robot soon would they just build a new robot and then put it in the cradle I think that's probably how it work I'm thinking I'm gonna get them that that dinosaur bike man seems if I could see a robot writing a t-rex bike I mean that really seems like the pinnacle of civilization what else would you want out of the universe that's like peak robot excellence yeah absolutely why would you ever want anything out that's a great that's a great poll that's what about a small price to pay for that yeah that's true mom Bryce the guy we're stuffing find the right-sized robot cuz if it's too big then it'll fall all come down what if it fine was the size of a Dyson that sounds good yeah at all knurled a little tiny roll what can we use Genghis oh yeah it's right on top it's fine he came right on top of the t-rex's head oh you guys we have one last piece to user feedback it's always our phone tog refer of the day I'll we like phone talker for
