00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:02.070
welcome to astronomy daily I'm excited


00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:03.750
to bring you another packed episode of


00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:06.030
space and astronomy news today we have


00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:07.789
some great stories to share starting


00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:09.549
with a groundbreaking discovery about


00:00:09.559 --> 00:00:11.669
Jupiter's volcanic moon IO that's


00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:13.190
challenging everything we thought we


00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:15.669
knew about its interior structure we'll


00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:17.550
also look at an incredibly busy week


00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:19.710
ahead in space flight with multiple


00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:22.150
launches scheduled from SpaceX including


00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:23.710
their next crew mission to the


00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:26.589
International Space Station rocket lab


00:00:26.599 --> 00:00:28.750
Firefly and several International launch


00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:30.230
providers are also preparing for


00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:32.470
liftoffs in the coming days in our


00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:34.630
coverage of cosmic Mysteries we'll


00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.709
explore fascinating new research about


00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.430
dark matter at the heart of our Milky


00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:41.029
Way galaxy that could revolutionize our


00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.830
understanding of this enigmatic


00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.150
substance we'll also check in on NASA's


00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:46.990
Artemis program as it takes another step


00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.110
toward returning humans to the moon and


00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:51.310
we'll round things out with an


00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.189
interesting look at some Growing Pains


00:00:53.199 --> 00:00:55.990
at SpaceX where recent challenges might


00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.630
suggest the company is approaching its


00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.950
operational limits even as it maintains


00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:03.029
ains an unprecedented launch Cadence


00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:04.429
let's dive into these stories and


00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.190
explore the latest developments in space


00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.230
exploration and


00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:10.830
astronomy in a fascinating development


00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.749
NASA's Juno spacecraft has revealed


00:01:12.759 --> 00:01:15.030
surprising new insights about Jupiter's


00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.030
most volcanic moon IO Data from recent


00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:19.630
flybys suggests that contrary to


00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.590
long-held beliefs IO doesn't have a


00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:23.630
shallow Global magma ocean beneath its


00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.990
surface instead the moon's mantle


00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.310
appears to be mostly solid forcing


00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:29.710
scientists to rethink their


00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:30.749
understanding understanding of how this


00:01:30.759 --> 00:01:32.830
incredibly active World


00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.630
functions IO experiences intense


00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.030
geological activity due to the powerful


00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.350
gravitational forces from Jupiter as the


00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:42.429
moon follows its elliptical orbit


00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.469
Jupiter's massive gravitational pull


00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:46.670
stretches and compresses it generating


00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.230
tremendous internal heat this process


00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:51.429
known as tidal heating is responsible


00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.230
for io's status as the most volcanically


00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.990
active body in our solar system for


00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.230
years scientists theorized that this


00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:01.469
constant Gra vitational needeing could


00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:03.590
create and maintain a global underground


00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:06.990
ocean of molten rock however when


00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.630
researchers analyzed measurements of


00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:10.830
io's tital deformation how much its


00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.390
surface flexes under Jupiter's


00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.710
gravitational stress the data told a


00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:17.270
different story the team led by Ryan


00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.750
Park found that the way IO responds to


00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:21.750
these forces isn't consistent with what


00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:23.550
we'd expect if a shallow magma ocean


00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.309
were present the findings don't rule out


00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.070
the possibility of some deeper magma


00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.229
Chambers or isolated pockets of molten


00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:33.229
rock but they do suggest that io's


00:02:33.239 --> 00:02:35.430
internal structure is more complex than


00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:38.110
previously thought this discovery has


00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.910
broader implications for our


00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:41.910
understanding of how tidal forces affect


00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:44.390
worlds throughout the solar system


00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.350
including other moons like Europa and


00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.630
Enceladus that experience similar


00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:50.309
gravitational interactions with their


00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.509
apparent


00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:54.149
planets this Revelation from Juno adds


00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:55.869
another layer to our evolving picture of


00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.589
IO showing us that even after Decades of


00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.070
observation this fascinating Moon still


00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.309
has secrets to reveal the findings


00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.270
challenge us to develop new models to


00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:06.990
explain how IO maintains its


00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.309
extraordinary volcanic activity without


00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.949
a global magma ocean opening up exciting


00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:13.789
new questions for planetary scientists


00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:14.949
to


00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:17.350
explore let's turn our attention now to


00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.630
this week's launch roster get ready for


00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:21.789
an incredibly busy week in space flight


00:03:21.799 --> 00:03:23.589
with multiple launches scheduled across


00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.430
the globe Space X leads the packed


00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:28.710
schedule with several missions including


00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:30.789
the highly anticipated crew1 flight to


00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:32.830
the International Space Station the


00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.710
crew1 mission will launch from Kennedy


00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:37.470

the space station they'll be flying


00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.869
aboard the crew Dragon endurance making


00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.750
its fourth trip to space this particular


00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:55.789
Dragon previously supported the crew 3


00:03:55.799 --> 00:03:58.990
crew 5 and crew 7 missions SpaceX also


00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.630
has multiple star link Launches on the


00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:02.670
Manifest including two missions from


00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.030
Florida's Space Coast these launches


00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:06.550
will continue expanding the company's


00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.470
satellite internet constellation with


00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:09.910
some of the satellites featuring new


00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:11.589
direct toell capabilities that could


00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:12.869
eventually enable mobile phone


00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.910
connectivity from space in California


00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:17.949
SpaceX had planned to launch two NASA


00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.390
science missions sphex and punch sphex


00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:22.950
will study the early universe and search


00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:24.469
for the building blocks of life within


00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:27.150
our galaxy while punch will investigate


00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.950
solar winds and their effects on the


00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:30.830
heliosphere using a network of four


00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:31.870
small


00:04:31.880 --> 00:04:34.070
satellites however I believe this launch


00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:35.790
has just been delayed and will be


00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.150
rescheduled rocket lab is preparing for


00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.390
their third mission of 2025 from New


00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:42.510
Zealand appropriately titled the


00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:44.469
lightning god reigns they'll be


00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:46.070
launching a synthetic aperture radar


00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:48.950
satellite for IQs marking the first of


00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:50.830
eight planned launches to help build out


00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:53.390
their Earth observation constellation


00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:55.350
firly Aerospace is set to launch their


00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.150
Alpha rocket from vandenbberg space


00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.350
Force Base carrying Lockheed Martin's


00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.110
new LM 400 satellite bus on a


00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.430
demonstration Mission this will be


00:05:04.440 --> 00:05:06.150
Alpha's First Flight of the year and


00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.430
sixth overall on the international front


00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:11.670
China's Chang Jong 8 rocket will make


00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.430
history with the first launch from a new


00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:15.790
commercial pad at wenchang while Russia


00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.550
prepares an angara rocket launch from


00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.870
placet carrying an unspecified military


00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:23.230
payload this intense launch Cadence


00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.950
reflects the growing commercialization


00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:27.270
of space access and the increasing


00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:29.830
diversity of launch providers worldwide


00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.830
it's a testament to how far we've come


00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:33.790
from the days when orbital launches were


00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.189
rare events sometimes happening only a


00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.629
few times per


00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.629
year next up a fascinating Discovery at


00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:43.950
the heart of our Milky Way galaxy could


00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:45.670
provide new insights into one of the


00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.390
universe's most perplexing Mysteries


00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:51.070
Dark Matter scientists have identified


00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:52.870
strange events in the Galaxy's Central


00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:55.230
molecular Zone that might be evidence of


00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.870
a previously unknown form of Dark Matter


00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:59.150
one that's lighter than existing


00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.430
theoretical


00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:02.710
candidates this new dark matter suspect


00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.670
has a unique characteristic it's self


00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:06.870
annihilating when two particles meet


00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:08.430
they destroy each other creating pairs


00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:10.150
of electrons and their antimatter


00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.950
counterparts positrons this process


00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:14.830
releases energy that strips electrons


00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:16.909
from neutral atoms in the dense gas at


00:06:16.919 --> 00:06:19.790
our galaxy Center a process known as


00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.270
ionization the theory elegantly explains


00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:24.270
why there's so much ionized gas in the


00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:26.270
central molecular Zone while this


00:06:26.280 --> 00:06:28.309
Annihilation process might be rare it


00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.150
would naturally occur more frequently in


00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.950
Galactic centers where dark matter is


00:06:31.960 --> 00:06:34.390
thought to concentrate traditional


00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:36.670
explanations involving cosmic rays don't


00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.749
fully account for the observed levels of


00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.510
ionization and importantly don't match


00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:43.990
other expected signatures like gamma ray


00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.070
emissions what makes this discovery


00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:47.950
particularly intriguing is that it


00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:49.469
suggests we might have been looking for


00:06:49.479 --> 00:06:51.950
dark matter in the wrong way instead of


00:06:51.960 --> 00:06:54.430
focusing solely on gravitational effects


00:06:54.440 --> 00:06:56.350
we might be able to detect dark matter


00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.110
through its subtle influence on Cosmic


00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.270
chemistry it's like finding Footprints


00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:02.309
in the Sand while we can't see the


00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.430
person who made them we can study their


00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:07.110
impact on the environment the research


00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:08.909
team's calculations show that this


00:07:08.919 --> 00:07:10.869
lighter form of Dark Matter fits


00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.350
perfectly within existing constraints


00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.150
without contradicting other observations


00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.230
from Gamay telescopes or the cosmic


00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.110
microwave background this is remarkably


00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.909
rare in Dark Matter research where


00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:23.909
proposed explanations often conflict


00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:26.869
with existing data looking ahead NASA's


00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.070
upcoming COI gamma ray telescope


00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:31.950
scheduled for launch in 2027 could


00:07:31.960 --> 00:07:33.869
provide crucial evidence to support or


00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.990
challenge this theory if confirmed this


00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.830
discovery would open an entirely new


00:07:38.840 --> 00:07:40.869
Avenue for studying Dark Matter


00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.150
fundamentally changing our approach to


00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:44.990
understanding the mysterious substance


00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.710
that makes up 85% of the matter in our


00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.149
universe this represents a potential


00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:52.869
paradigm shift in Dark Matter research


00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.629
suggesting that the key to understanding


00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.710
this elusive substance might lie not in


00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.070
its gravitational effects but in its


00:07:59.080 --> 00:08:01.149
subtle chemical influence on the very


00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:02.830
fabric of our


00:08:02.840 --> 00:08:05.469
galaxy in an important development for


00:08:05.479 --> 00:08:08.110
NASA's Artemis program the upper stage


00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.710
for the Artemis 2 SLS rocket arrived at


00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.350
Kennedy Space Center on March 4th this


00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.589
crucial component known as the interim


00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:18.589
cryogenic propulsion stage was delivered


00:08:18.599 --> 00:08:20.830
by Boeing and United launch Alliance to


00:08:20.840 --> 00:08:23.629
the multi-payload processing facility


00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.629
the delivery marks another significant


00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.909
step forward in NASA's mission to return


00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:30.430
humans to the Moon this four-story


00:08:30.440 --> 00:08:33.029
propulsion system powered by an rl10


00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.230
engine will play a vital role in the


00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.750
mission profile after launch it will


00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:39.670
provide the Orion spacecraft with the


00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:41.750
necessary thrust to complete two orbits


00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:43.829
around Earth before embarking on its


00:08:43.839 --> 00:08:46.070
Journey To The Moon technicians at the


00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.949
processing facility will now begin the


00:08:47.959 --> 00:08:49.829
meticulous work of preparing the upper


00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:51.550
stage for integration with the rest of


00:08:51.560 --> 00:08:54.310
the SLS rocket their first task will be


00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.269
fueling the stage with hydrazine for its


00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.990
reaction control system once this is


00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.790
complete the component will be


00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:02.590
transported to the Vehicle Assembly


00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.870
Building where it will be integrated


00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:07.110
with other elements of the rocket a top


00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.190
mobile launcher one the assembly process


00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.470
is already well underway with the solid


00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.990
rocket booster segments already in place


00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.150
the core stage will soon be integrated


00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:18.829
followed by the launch vehicle stage


00:09:18.839 --> 00:09:21.150
adapter the upper stage will then be


00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:23.389
carefully mated to this adapter bringing


00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.590
us one step closer to launch this


00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.550
Milestone delivery demonstrates the


00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:29.550
steady progress being made on the art of


00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:31.829
2 mission which will be the first crude


00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:34.430
mission of NASA's new moon exploration


00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.870
program each component that arrives at


00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:38.829
Kennedy Space Center brings us closer to


00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:41.030
the historic moment when humans will


00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:43.069
once again Venture Beyond low earth


00:09:43.079 --> 00:09:45.269
orbit and return to lunar


00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.870
space SpaceX has been experiencing an


00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:49.470
uncharacteristically challenging start


00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:52.310
to 2025 facing a series of technical


00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.870
issues despite maintaining their


00:09:53.880 --> 00:09:55.870
position as the world's leading launch


00:09:55.880 --> 00:09:57.949
provider while the company continues to


00:09:57.959 --> 00:09:59.350
demonstrate remarkable launch fre


00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:01.670
frequency recent events suggest they may


00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:04.389
be approaching their operational limits


00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.430
several notable incidents have raised


00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.310
concerns the sphere X Mission originally


00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.470
scheduled for late February has faced


00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.110
nearly two weeks of delays due to


00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.750
integration problems though to be fair


00:10:15.760 --> 00:10:17.350
the latest delay is due to weather and


00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.190
even SpaceX can't control that more


00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:21.870
seriously there have been issues with


00:10:21.880 --> 00:10:24.350
the Falcon 99's first stage including a


00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.550
recent launch where a fuel leak led to a


00:10:26.560 --> 00:10:28.069
post Landing fire that caused the


00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:31.190
booster to topple on the Drone ship this


00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.949
marks the second Landing failure in just


00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:35.230
6 months following a similar engine


00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.710
compartment fire last August the company


00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.750
has also encountered recurring problems


00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:42.350
with the Falcon 99's upper stage in


00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.990
early February a failed deorbit burn


00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.870
resulted in propellant tanks crashing


00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:49.430
into Western Poland while fortunately no


00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:51.230
one was harmed this marked the third


00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.069
upper stage issue in half a year adding


00:10:54.079 --> 00:10:56.470
to these challenges spacex's Starship


00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.790
vehicle has experienced two consecutive


00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:01.190
test flight failures with both attempts


00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.269
ending in spectacular explosions over


00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.190
the


00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.190
Bahamas however it's important to put


00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.629
these setbacks in perspective SpaceX


00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.470
maintains an impressive success rate in


00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.750
delivering payloads to orbit with only


00:11:12.760 --> 00:11:14.870
one operational payload loss in nearly a


00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:16.910
decade their launch Cadence remains


00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:19.430
unmatched globally with 27 missions


00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.590
already completed this year outpacing


00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.629
the combined total of all other launch


00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:24.710
providers


00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.150
worldwide these recent challenges may be


00:11:27.160 --> 00:11:28.870
indicating the natural consequences


00:11:28.880 --> 00:11:31.150
oface spx's aggressive pace and


00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:33.509
ambitious goals the company is


00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.310
simultaneously managing the world's


00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.590
busiest launch schedule operating a


00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.629
massive satellite constellation


00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.670
conducting human space flight missions


00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:43.750
and developing the largest rocket ever


00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:46.110
built this combination of high


00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.150
operational Tempo and continuing


00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:50.470
Innovation appears to be testing the


00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.230
limits of what's currently possible in


00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.269
commercial space flight these Growing


00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.870
Pains come at a crucial time as SpaceX


00:11:56.880 --> 00:11:58.590
Remains the Western world's Sole


00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.910
Provider of human access to orbit and


00:12:00.920 --> 00:12:02.990
the primary launch vehicle for NASA's


00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.350
science missions while these recent


00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.949
issues haven't compromised their


00:12:06.959 --> 00:12:09.110
dominant position in the industry they


00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.230
serve as a reminder that even the most


00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.269
successful space company must carefully


00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.949
balance speed and


00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:17.910
reliability and that's all for today's
