Tomorrow Daily - We cheer on New Horizons and its Pluto flyby, Ep 208

2015-07-14
on today's show a prosthetic arm for kids that you can add real life legos 20 and we flew really close to Pluto no big deal an amazon prime day is tomorrow and it's better than Christmas get out your wallets tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley sceva that's kill anonymous and you're here with us so welcome welcome to you my friends um hello we said get out your wallets because we just want you to give your money to us to keep it safe before amazon prime day obviously we're like a like a safety bank like a piggy bank just please don't break this open let's hit the headlines alright so today let's yeah i think so i decided to go um it got I just felt like maybe I made it awkward uh let's talk about Pluto not the did not the beloved beloved disney character but the but the ex planet the ex planet now dwarf planet yeah this is big news huge news this is amazing so New Horizons is a mission that has been going on since 2006 and it has been almost ten years and it finally completed its closest approach to Pluto and we got the first high-res images of the plant of the dwarf planet that we have ever ever seen it took over three billion miles it past Pluto this morning at about four about 450 in the morning pacific time and passed it going 30,000 miles per hour so it was a flyin past um scientists are really really excited because this means we are already seeing images from Pluto from New Horizons and like we've already learned so much about the planet we know how big it is now we didn't really know before before we had some really kind of iffy images from the Hubble telescope that were really blurry so in fact i saw this gif on the internet today and thought it was so so cool I think we have a screencap of it so check this out this is what we had before as an image of Pluto that was the only thing we knew about Pluto and this is what we have now like what a difference that makes like that's an actual picture of Pluto 3 billion miles away I can't believe that's all we had that's all we had before that's all we knew about if I take out my contacts what I see yeah exactly exactly then I put him in a nice either venues do this exactly it's like putting on a fresh pair of glasses and so this is pretty incredible so if that gift doesn't sell it for you as to how important this is for scientists astrophysicists anybody who studies the solar system and outer space in general I mean I don't know what would so this is a pretty incredible image so we actually haven't seen the closest photo it's going to take about 15 hours for that to transmit back to earth so we're going to see that a little bit later tonight so if you if you're watching the show usually we posted about four or five o'clock so should be another few hours before we see the closest approach image that New Horizons snapped of Pluto but high fives NASA yeah it's pretty intense another fun fact that i read online which I think you'll really enjoy is that the the budget for this entire mission costs about the same as the creation and marketing budget of the minions movie I mean that's how everybody translates them yeah of course compared to the minions movie we get it's crazy and probably inflation too right I mean this is just really amazing what does NASA said they're gonna do with this information besides just feel like now we have a better understanding of Pluto so they didn't really know any of the geographical features on Pluto we didn't really know anything about what the surface looked like what the atmosphere was like that's another thing that they can study so I'm just to sort of know exactly what's going on up there uh a lot of people are saying oh maybe Pluto will be a planet again but it doesn't so far it doesn't look like that although it is bigger than we thought it was Pluto's bigger than we thought it was which was one of the reasons but amongst many that it was downgraded they thought it was much smaller than actually was but still smaller than our own moon so it's not not quite not quite planet e enough to maybe be upgrading where's the new horizons thing go now just flies off into the into the beyond yeah it's just is gonna keep on hurtling they're gonna keep getting images it'll it's in the Kuiper you know the Kuiper belt so it'll be it's out still kind of a bummer I always feel bad for those little guys I don't what if some super vance alien race like picks it up and turns it into a humanoid robot or something I don't know it's always a chance okay fine you're horrible I like your hopefulness but i'm thinking Wally just like God just gone forever um well so so let's let me ask you this then that's right this will be our hashtag of the day hashtag TD fly by if New Horizons if it could go anywhere in the universe it's still hurtling out there still going at 30,000 miles an hour if it could take a picture of anything in the universe for you and high def like what we saw in that gift what would you want it to take a picture of like a candy planet like a planet just like it's got you know candy canes and it Snickers find out what chocolate water and stuff like it's just like it's like a candy but that would be a great discovery like we're tired of fighting ones where there's no air there's no water and there's no life but let's just adjust all candy I like it that's what I want if and then what would we do would like who would be excited like they they're like this is our This Is It this is where we're gonna live now Kane planet let's go all of you Earthians get on here hello would be on that show in a heartbeat I'm not actually a big fan of candy or sweet now you know just you just want maybe just do a nice little tourism flyby take couple pictures come back I fish I like the visual the visual aesthetic of candy and i think i think it's it's a delight game candyland the game i don't think a liner games overrated like the best parts of that really imparting it's super dangerous in the back part why would you keep going you're going to the castle what is even there there's candy all the way you don't need to go to the castle so that's dumb and chutes and ladders is dumb too hi ho cheerio now we're talking what do you wear now to fly by us so I am gonna pick something real but something that's also pretty amazing in that it's a whole planet made of diamond like there's that planet out there I think it might be in the kepler system that is a planet made of diamond so I'd like to see what that looks like in high def because it seems like it would be pretty amazing to view from space like would it be kind of like a like a big giant prism look at the kind of sparkly I'm sharing a giant diamond know like a like a round where it's like there's sort of a reflective surface but not anything like you know like a rough time in almost I just think would be really cool to see what that looks like because I i have no idea in my mind about what that could even look like like that seems crazy to me that there's an entire planet out there just that's made of diamonds that is pretty cool pretty rad so I'd say yeah may or may be so close maybe some of those neat planets that they say like might be in the Goldilocks zone for that might be habitable like I'd like see some HD of that yeah I would it be amazing if they're just dinosaurs just roaming on there just Rando dinosaurs and then everyone's like oh my god you guys although this is crazy that's the planet killin head too yeah but I wouldn't I wouldn't survive very long cuz I would try and pet a doctor in a second I saw it anyway so there you go teasin fly by yeah TV fly back moving on to something that I'm very excited about and so is Ashley and so is producer Logan okay so that is prime day it is the 20th anniversary of website amazoncom were of course can't believe it have what what I can't believe it 20 years 20 years of the website amazon.com where you can go on there and basically buy anything great stuff but they decided they're going to destroy black friday which is a huge deal in the States it's called prime day and it's going on for 24 hours so if you have a prime account on there you'll be able to get all kinds of crazy deals with yet we have some here's some but not by any long shot all I've got a 40 inch LED TV for 150 doll $115 which is great 32 inch smart TV for under two hundred dollars fifty percent off nikon cameras rumbas for under three hundred dollars and bose headphones at quote-unquote their lowest price ever on amazon well as seen that has a big listing i'm sure there's going to be more and i guess you can just check Cena tomorrow for more update but there you go i was gonna be some good video game deals as well i think i was looking on gamespot today and they've had some stuff up like that they were assuming would be happening at some point so i thinkin like a lot of sites are gonna have like you know what deals are when if they could get them in advance so you can always check seen it or you know anywhere else if you're kind of looking to look at a time something cuz obviously a lot of these deals are probably they're really good like they say they are going to be which who knows um they'll go out they'll sell out pretty quick well they kept saying better than Black Friday which is a very bold statement that is very bold that's very gold um for anybody who doesn't have a prime membership you can cheat the system a little bit i'm gonna tell you how sign up for a free 30-day prime membership tonight and just have your credit card ready like have all your info ready so that you can buy stuff but you get a free 30-day prime membership so you can take part in the sale and then you can leave if you want yeah there you go again and then you get your free two-day shipping and everything you heard it here first folks Ashley's trying to cheat amazon yeah make sure tweet them so they know that to come out I've seen many people talk about that little it's just a work round is all all right I want to tell you about you down you know Abby you don't be associated with me you're gonna want to be associated with me right now though because I want to tell you about this story and you i know you like Lego and we both love when people can make the lives of kids who have lost limbs better yeah those are always the best this is a marriage of both those things so this guy who's a Colombian designers in Carlos Torres he decided one day he wanted to help kids with missing limbs express their creativity through their prosthetics and so he came up with this program called the ICAO creative prosthetic system which is this artificial limb that kids can swap pieces on they can swap out whatever they want they can build whatever they want with Legos it's amazing and so um so he thinks that adding a play element to kids prosthetic can really help them in rehab like when they're rehabilitating and learning how to use their prosthetic limb and so um and also get them a little bit more excited about what's obviously a very life-changing event like if you if you either were born without a limb and get a new one or if you lose a limb and then have to learn how to use a prosthetic that's still life changing any way you slice it this is a big deal this is how it works there's there's this sort of main unit and then it has a sort of snap on you twist on the top you can put on these like attachments and everything and so they have like I said robot gripping hands but then they also have lego stuff which is so cool so Lego got involved in this he actually this guy traveled to Denmark to Legos like very top secret research and development labs and was able to pick their brains and sort of ask them okay like how can I sort of make this work like what do you think like let's work with the design and so he worked with Lego designers and researchers to kind of come up with this concept and so we have a video of him and this kid trying on an actual arm and like having all these different things and the prototype has a battery a charging port a processor my electric sensors and then a whole bunch of Lego compatible spots to build on and so he says he wants to make a commercial product and he hopes that it might be available late next year early in 2017 it's fantastic just pretty amazing yeah I good trying it out is like just blown away well not only are they learning to use a prosthetic but there's using creativity and the fact that Lego is actually involved means it'll actually have it'll be more than just an idea that's fantastic yeah and this is great so um so keep an eye out for that because I just think this is one of the most fantastic things I've ever seen in terms of prosthetics and especially kids I mean we saw the one guy who does the hero once with the Iron Man yeah which is really neat and then now these are sort of also fun in that way where they can you know also play as well as sort of use them for utility which is what they would need them for but you know with kids it's like why not just give them a chance to be to have a little fun you know you know I every time we have on these stories I'm like this can would be like a huge hit at a bar because lovely girls like what are you doing for them you're like I build oh I I help kids get rehabilitated but I also create this Lego things so it builds your imagination I really believe that they help use the prosthetics by it's just like here's my number here's my number nobody right now is such a human sayers like oh my god how do you compete with that yeah I goanna everyone in the bar hates that guy I host like a science lesson show and they're just like I talk about that guy that's good I talking about IM on my show sorry all right guys we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back it's Tuesday we have to talk about new releases some great movies coming out this week and then of course we have your user feedback and our photogra for the day still click away it's tomorrow daily sky got to be the answer welcome back to the show right before the break we saw a really cool recut of the ant-man trailer to make it look like a 1950s b-movie what am i cool one of my favorite things on the internet last week I was dying to show it because it's time for new releases scale of one to ten how excited are you for ant-man seven which is exactly the score is getting on rotten tomatoes seventy-five percent uh ant-man's coming out this week a man I love Paul Rudd yeah I'm sure I love Paul Rudd too but this doesn't look like a like he has a lot of elbow room to be Paul Rudd know it seems like he's maybe a little more confined to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Cinematic Universe here um it does look fun i will say that looks fun and and i do think that if you go and see this you'll have a good time but I they were saying that this could be this could be the very first Marvel movie to come in second at the box office because they've never had a not number one on opening weekend and it might cut might come in second to if minions keeps holding on strong this weekend might come in second yeah which would be crazy big but ballroom it's pretty good I mean I I would be I'm excited to see it i love these sort of little like gag you know ideas of that you know like all the little train said it looks so intense up close you know with ant-man but then it's like it's just a train set falling over in real life yeah i mean the original ant-man Hank Pym is a really interesting character but this isn't Hank Pym you think you told me at one point like kill kill educates me about comic books then we started the adventures like he was the one who sort of started yeah more or less I mean there's there's like different things but yeah but he's one of tho i'd like started the amine he was in the avengers for sure yeah so I'm well you know they got her face too and he's probably gonna there's apparently too cool after credit scenes that are apparently the best in all of the Cinematic Universe so forth that's pretty cool I already have my theory as to what it's gonna be but also ant-man is probably me join The Avengers so of course there you go yeah I want to see this next one though I'm gonna that I think it's gonna be I'm gonna see two movies this weekend the theater and it's definitely this one the ambit is Emily this train wreck which is coming out this weekend it's an Amy Schumer movie I think it's her first major like feature film she stars in it I wrote it she were so funny okay Amy Schumer is hilarious to me she is in this movie somebody who can not get her life together she's a total mess hence the you train wreck title and her and Bill Hader it's like a rock kind of a rom-com but I would say like a very subversive rom-com and apparently it's very good all three of these movies are tracking pretty well on on rotten tomatoes this one I think was like ninety one-percent as of right now like I think I saw this morning was like over ninety percent so looks pretty good people are getting it good reviews is getting good notices so I think I think I'm into it i think i want to see this for sure because i love Amy Schumer she's one of my favorite comedians happening right now um jogo know you and then and then lastly um movie Ida hasn't really gotten a whole lot of I guess like promotion mr. Holmes is coming out this weekend get has a ninety-four percent on rotten tomatoes right now uh it's everybody's favorite everything ever face of butterfield um maybe oh I don't know oh no it's it's a McKellen oh ya makan yeah everybody's fair at Gandalf uh it got all the all the great things magneto come on like everybody's favorite he plays sherlock holmes and it's like there's a mystery is it's supposed to be really really good but I'd literally have seen like one advertisement for this in the last six months I just don't care about Sherlock Holmes anymore you just over it oh my god been a million movies and like I like the TV series I love the TV series people we don't need a million of these things going at the same time I like this kind of old Sherlock Holmes though there's no Watson I think he talks about like how there's no Watson any more like he went away or something like that I don't know it seems interesting if you're into that sort of move your legal alternative programming could be an option for you but it's tracking very well I don't know so we're tracking very well and I the audience how do the audience's split on this because these are all for three different audiences variables and then you have minions so I may be still yes I think minions kids uh ant-man like the nerdy pop culture people or pop culture fans yeah then train wreck any of the people that aren't into the nerdy pop culture rom-com and like and like to be realistic women women yeah rom-com fans that Holmes nobody old people nope nobody old people no you know who's gonna see that movie sir patrick stewart cuz they're best friends oh that's right it's gonna see it okay night it's just her it's only a job wait that was terrible alright anyway we're moving on to our very last piece of I don't know whatever the next thing is gets user feedback really glad I just really wanted out of that ferret out of my like how vs all right yesterday we asked you guys use hashtag TD lux tell us what you'd want your car to generate for you you guys came up with some really good ones way better than ours my most compliments and yours is what mine was I would come up with oh yeah you get like travel miles yeah dragon lots of drugs so what Miles okay Oliver wrote in and said comic-con trailers are ice cream like ice cream ice cream just generate calm like how those things are kind of the same thing to you let's go into baskin-robbins get a count on to Dustin and Rhoda and said I would have my car clean up pollution everywhere I go to make positive impact on the environment like that a pollution eater because his name is dust man sure why not know his name was dust me I know is a little ironic a little bit of irony Gail wrote in and said make the car generate puppy and kitten videos that'll give you that that that grew feeling I don't know what has give me that maybe I was a new new feeling it worked great feeling great feeling sure let's say group Rick read and said the car would have a removable battery i would use the saved energy as a battery for my home electronics like TV pc xbox that's that's where like that one's good Andrew Ronan said I'd have my car produced more fuel so it would be a perpetual motion machine Andrew do you understand how this works too hmm it's like kind of like printing money but no we keep going forever so it would they'd have to go and create gas which it would then use and then I just keep okay I don't know how cars work so you're probably right you're probably right Mitchell wrote and said I would want it to generate organic metals so when google's project ara comes mine is obsolete like that jeweler like everyone's creating like additional thing additional things James wrote in a via email said I think it'd be interesting at the car generated an electrochemical reaction that repairs the Earth's atmosphere everyone's talked about how vehicle emissions are destroying the atmosphere with this reaction you're truly being good for the environment going to be healing the earth one mile at a time you even thought of a tagline yeah he's already yours I'm sold so I get healing the earth right but then you'd be like a you be like a bad human being if you didn't drive around all the time they'd be like you cheated outside driving healing the world listen go why don't you go heal the world okay getting your car go he'll something but it's kind of like the one with that dust man said I have my car clean clean the pollution so it's kind of a similar thing like that okay guys it's time for our very last piece of user feedback which is our photog refer of the day Richie wrote in to us and said hi shut this today around Hamburg Germany it's sitting around a fountain but I don't know what it is sure not a human shot with the Moto X 2014 not edited like likea show Ricky Richie a queue I like that you're honest Richie I like that you're not like hey listen love the show like you don't have to suck up
