Lunar Leap: Artemis 2’s Historic Mission and the Future of Moon Exploration

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary - Series 28 Episode 154

In this episode of SpaceTime , we explore significant milestones in lunar exploration and the latest challenges in space technology.

Accelerated Launch for Artemis 2

NASA has moved up the launch date for the historic Artemis 2 manned moon mission to early February, marking the first human journey to the moon in over 50 years since Apollo 17. The Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, will embark on a 10-day mission, completing a free return trajectory around the moon. This episode discusses the mission's objectives, including in-space demonstrations and the deployment of five cubesats, as well as the importance of this mission for future lunar exploration and potential Mars missions.

New Insights from Lunar Rock Samples

Recent studies of lunar rock samples have revealed a new timeline for lunar impacts, pushing back the history of Earth's nearest celestial neighbour by 300 million years. The Apollo 17 rock sample, known as 76535, has provided crucial insights into the moon's formation and its geological history. Advanced computer simulations suggest that the impact that formed the Serenitatis Basin may have brought this rock to the surface, reshaping our understanding of the moon's bombardment history and its implications for Earth.

Japan's H3 Rocket Failure

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has faced a setback with the failure of its new H3 rocket during a satellite launch. This follows a previous failure during its maiden flight. The H3 rocket, designed to replace the H2, aims to enhance Japan's capabilities in the global space market but has encountered significant technical challenges.

This is Spacetime series 28 episode 154


00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:06.070
for broadcast on the 31st of December


00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:07.670
2025.


00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.950
Coming up on Spaceime, the Aremis 2 man


00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:12.950
moon mission now slated for launch in


00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:15.669
February instead of April. Rewriting a


00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:17.670
chapter of the moon's early history and


00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:20.150
consequently that of the Earth as well.


00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.189
And failure for Japan's new flagship H3


00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.550
rocket. All that and more coming up on


00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:28.790
Spaceime.


00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.450
Welcome to Space Time with Stuart Garry.


00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:40.650
[Music]




00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:49.910
NASA has accelerated the launch of the


00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.549
historic Artemis 2 man moon mission from


00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:55.590
midappril to early February. The agency


00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.350
has tentatively slated the week of


00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:59.510
February the 6th with a 2-hour launch


00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.310
window. This will be an historic mission


00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.070
because it will be the first time humans


00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:05.670
have traveled to the moon in more than


00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.910
half a century ever since the days of


00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.429
Apollo 17 back in 1972.


00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.350
The 10-day mission aboard the Orion


00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:15.429
spacecraft Integrity will launch aboard


00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.550
NASA's 98 m tall three-stage SLS


00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.710
Superheavy lift rocket from Space Launch


00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:23.590
Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center


00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:25.510
at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in


00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:28.230
Florida. The crew will complete one


00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:30.230
swing around the moon on what's known as


00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:32.870
a free return trajectory. The mission


00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:35.190
profile calls for a multi-trans lunar


00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.749
injection with multiple departure burns.


00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:40.149
Orion will initially be sent on a highly


00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.069
eccentric Earth orbit with a period of


00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.030
roughly 24 hours. By comparison, the


00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:46.789
International Space Station orbits much


00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.870
closer to the planet, taking just on 90


00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:51.190
minutes to complete each orbit. During


00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.270
Orion's highly eccentric orbit, the


00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.190
spacecraft's crew will perform various


00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.190
checkouts of the vehicle, its life


00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.950
support systems, its ancillary


00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:00.630
components, and it will undertake an


00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.630
inspace rendevous and proximity


00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.950
operation demonstration using the spent


00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:06.950
intram cryogenic propulsion or upper


00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:09.510
stage as a target. The mission will also


00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.589
carry five cube sats which will be


00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.510
attached to the inside of the stage


00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.830
adapted between the SLS upper stage and


00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.550
the Orion spacecraft. These will be


00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.110
deployed during Earth orbit. And once


00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.110
Orion reaches perigee after completing


00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.110
its orbit, it'll fire its main engines


00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.830
for its trans lunar injection burn.


00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.910
That'll send the spacecraft on a lunar


00:02:29.920 --> 00:02:31.510
free return or gravity assist


00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.750
trajectory, swinging around the moon


00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:35.509
with a closest approach to the lunar


00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:39.509
surface of approximately 7,400 kilm.


00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:41.670
Another burn maneuver will then send the


00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.670
spacecraft returning to Earth and


00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.830
ultimately splashing down in the Pacific


00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.949
Ocean. this report on Artemis 2 from


00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:50.869
NASA TV.


00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.390
>> So, the most exciting thing to me about


00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.390
Artemis 2 is just the return to the


00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.030
moon. We haven't been there in 50 years.


00:02:57.040 --> 00:02:58.710
Human eyes are going to see parts of the


00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:01.430
moon that haven't been seen by anyone


00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:03.990
before. It also recommits us to


00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:05.750
exploring the solar system in a way that


00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:07.910
we haven't in a long time. And I think


00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:09.910
it provides an opportunity for younger


00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:12.229
generations to understand the excitement


00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:17.110
of doing that kind of exploration.


00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.030
The moon is this great sort of


00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:22.390
Cherroscurro subject because the most


00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.229
recognizable thing about it is the


00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:27.270
changing sun angles and how that brings


00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.110
out the shape of craters near the


00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.430
terminator which is the dayight line


00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:33.509
because there aren't, you know, oceans


00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:35.750
and clouds and and all the things that


00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:38.869
you see on Earth. Um, the moon is really


00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.509
all about its shape and the shape is


00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:43.670
telling you something about its long


00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.270
history and the history of the entire


00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.509
solar system. All the things that have


00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:49.670
happened to the earth have been erased


00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.070
by geological processes and weather and


00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.630
climate. And that doesn't happen on the


00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:57.270
moon. The moon has recorded everything


00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.110
that's happened since its formation


00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.110
almost 4 and a half billion years ago.


00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.030
That tells us a lot about where we came


00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:05.190
from, where the solar system came from.


00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:07.429
It also reveals something about the


00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.070
composition of the Earth that we can't


00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:11.910
see because it's buried beneath the


00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:14.550
crust. Some of that is on the surface of


00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.469
the moon because it's been excavated by


00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:19.430
all the impacts. Artemis is our return


00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:22.230
to the moon after 50 years. The emphasis


00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.230
of Artemis is going to be first of all


00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.030
science, but second of all learning to


00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.030
sustain a presence on another world.


00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.189
first on the moon, but we're hoping that


00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.670
that's a stepping stone to Mars and


00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.430
other destinations in the solar system


00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:37.430
eventually.


00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.749
Artemis 2 will be a flyby mission. It's


00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.550
not going to land. We're testing all of


00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.950
the technology that we've created for


00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:47.590
flying to the moon since Apollo. A lot


00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.430
of systems have been modernized, and we


00:04:49.440 --> 00:04:50.710
need to make sure that all of those


00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.270
work. The astronauts will be looking out


00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:55.110
the window at parts of the moon that


00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.870
have never been seen by human eyes


00:04:56.880 --> 00:04:59.510
before. They will be flying by the moon


00:04:59.520 --> 00:05:01.350
at an altitude that's much higher than


00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.830
Apollo's orbits. And so they will see


00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:06.230
the entire disc of the moon, including


00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.870
areas that are closer to both the north


00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:11.189
and south pole that astronauts from


00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.469
Apollo never saw. All of that depends on


00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:16.790
the lighting, which we really won't know


00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.870
until launch day. But we can practice


00:05:18.880 --> 00:05:21.189
with different lighting scenarios. It's


00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.270
hard for people to sort of picture that


00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:25.270
in their mind. If you can make a


00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:27.670
visualization of it, show them a movie


00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.990
that helps everybody choose the targets


00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.070
and also practice aiming at those


00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:34.310
targets. The astronauts have actually


00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:36.230
been looking at these visualizations


00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.150
through the lens of the camera and


00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.310
practicing aiming at the various


00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:43.749
targets. All of the Apollo flights


00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.150
orbited the moon at a distance of about


00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.990
110 km. Because the astronauts were


00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.629
flying at such a low altitude, their


00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.550
horizon was actually quite close and


00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.710
they couldn't see the north and south


00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.430
poles and it includes this amazing


00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:02.710
impact feature called Oriental. Oriental


00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.189
is a very large impact feature. It's


00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.430
about 650 km wide. It's got multiple


00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:12.070
rings. These are rings that form like


00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:14.230
ripples in a pond from the impact. But


00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.189
of course, it's on a huge scale. The


00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.070
middle of Oriental has that sort of dark


00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:22.710
basaltt lava covering it like the dark


00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.029
spots that we see on the near side. It's


00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:27.029
one of the biggest ones that's more on


00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:29.670
the far side than near. So seeing it


00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.670
with human eyes and sort of picking out


00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.189
features that maybe you don't even see


00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.909
in robotic cameras is an important goal


00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:38.150
for the mission. One of the photographic


00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.029
targets that is on everybody's list is


00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:43.350
pictures of the Earth beyond the limb of


00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.070
the moon. During Apollo 8 on their


00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:48.390
fourth orbit, they finally turned their


00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:50.629
spacecraft around so that they could see


00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.469
in the direction of the Earth.


00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:53.990
>> Oh my god, look at that picture over


00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.629
there. There's the Earth coming up. Wow,


00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.550
that's pretty. Hey, don't take that off


00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.150
schedule.


00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.670
You got a color film, Jim.


00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.230
>> I think it surprised all of them how


00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.270
beautiful and how human it was to see


00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:09.749
the entire planet Earth from behind the


00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.469
horizon of another celestial body. That


00:07:12.479 --> 00:07:14.710
photograph called Earthrise had a huge


00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.510
impact on the public because from space


00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:19.270
you don't see country boundaries. You


00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:21.270
don't see some of the human problems


00:07:21.280 --> 00:07:23.189
that we deal with on the surface. And


00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.029
you also recognize that the Earth is a


00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:27.110
finite place. It's not infinite. It's


00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.070
not everything. It is a pale blue dot in


00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:33.189
the vastness of space. Artemis is going


00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.189
to have that opportunity once again. I


00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.270
anticipate that the astronauts will have


00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:41.029
the same feeling that the Apollo 8


00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:43.110
astronauts did and I think it will have


00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.350
a similar effect on a new generation of


00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.350
people who are watching this mission


00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.309
unfold.


00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.150
And in that report on Artemis 2 from


00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.550
NASA TV, we heard from Ernie Wright from


00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.710
NASA's Godard Space Flight Center in


00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.270
Green Belt, Maryland. And this is


00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:02.469
spacetime. Still to come, a new study of


00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:04.629
lunar rock samples paints a different


00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:06.469
picture of the tortured history of


00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:09.029
Earth's nearest celestial companion. And


00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:11.430
it's a big fail for Japan's new flagship


00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:13.990
H3 rocket. All that and more still to


00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:26.020
come on Spaceime.


00:08:26.030 --> 00:08:31.430
[Music]


00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:33.750
A new study of lunar rock samples is


00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:35.670
painting a very different picture of the


00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:37.509
tortured history of Earth's nearest


00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.990
celestial companion. The findings


00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.589
reported in the journal Geophysical


00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:43.269
Research Letters pushes back the


00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.670
timeline of lunar and consequently Earth


00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:49.110
impacts by some 300 million years. When


00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.750
the Apollo 17 astronauts collected a


00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:53.509
small rock from the moon more than 50


00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.509
years ago, they had no way of knowing


00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.030
that it would still be challenging


00:08:57.040 --> 00:08:59.030
science's understanding of lunar history


00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:01.829
today. The fragment simply known as


00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:05.670
sample 76535 formed nearly 50 kilometers


00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:08.230
under the lunar surface, but it shows no


00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.389
signs of the violent shocks usually


00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.630
expected when deep rocks are blasted up


00:09:12.640 --> 00:09:15.350
to the surface. And that puzzle has been


00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.829
intriguing scientists for decades. Many


00:09:17.839 --> 00:09:19.509
believe the rock was blasted to the


00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.670
surface by the same massive impact that


00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:23.430
formed the moon's largest crater, the


00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.389
giant south pole achen basin. But new


00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.470
research is now offering a simpler


00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.870
explanation, but one with very broad


00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:32.389
implications.


00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.470
By running advanced computer simulations


00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.870
of giant lunar impacts, the authors has


00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:38.710
shown that the asteroid impact, which


00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.949
from the Sereni Tart basin, a massive


00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:43.110
impact crater on the moon's near side,


00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.030
could have lifted our rock sample to the


00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:47.110
surface during the latest stages of its


00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.829
formation. The findings suggested the


00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:52.389
impact occurred about 4.25 billion years


00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.790
ago. That's roughly 3 million years


00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:56.630
earlier than previously thought. In the


00:09:56.640 --> 00:09:58.870
process, pushing the timeline of lunar


00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:01.590
impacts further back in history. Of


00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.509
course, that shift reported in the


00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.509
journal Geophysical Research Letters


00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.430
also reshapes how scientists estimate


00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.269
the bombardment history of Earth and


00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.829
other inner solar system planets. The


00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:13.829
studies lead author Evan Johns from the


00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:15.829
Lawrence Liverour National Laboratory


00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:18.069
says this rock may be small, but it


00:10:18.079 --> 00:10:20.310
carries a huge story about the moon's


00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.949
early history. He says it's sort of like


00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:26.310
a time capsule dating back 4.25 billion


00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.190
years. Now, scientists have long agreed


00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.430
on two key aspects about the Apollo


00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.230
sample. Its chemistry and its texture


00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.150
show that it formed deep inside the


00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:38.790
lunar crust, and it lacks the strong


00:10:38.800 --> 00:10:40.870
shock features that typically accompany


00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:43.750
a violent trip to the surface. Earlier


00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:45.910
studies proposed that only an enormous


00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:47.829
impact like the one which created the


00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:49.590
South Pole akin basin could have


00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.310
excavated rock from such depths. But


00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.310
there's a catch. Carrying the rock from


00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.550
that farside basin to the Apollo 17


00:10:56.560 --> 00:10:58.630
landing site would likely require an


00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:00.790
additional impact, all while avoiding


00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:02.710
shocks strong enough to leave telltale


00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.990
scars. Jones and colleagues found a more


00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.310
direct path. Using their computer


00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.389
simulations of large lunar impacts


00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:11.990
together with models of the moon's


00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.550
crust, they showed that during the later


00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:16.389
collapse stage of forming a giant


00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.630
crater, material from tens of kilometers


00:11:18.640 --> 00:11:21.509
down can be drawn upwards gently enough


00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.750
to preserve rock samples like 76535.


00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:28.150
In those simulations, a certain talis


00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:30.389
type impact can move deep material to


00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:31.990
within just a few kilometers of the


00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.310
surface. precisely the kind of process


00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.470
that could place the sample where Apollo


00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.190
17 could find it. The author's models


00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.829
kept showing the same thing. Big impacts


00:11:41.839 --> 00:11:43.990
can lift rocks to the surface without


00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.750
overshocking them. And if sample 76535


00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:50.310
dates the Serenitus impact at 4.25


00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.150
billion years ago, other major lunar


00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:54.230
basins may also be far older than


00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.710
currently dated. And that moves


00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.389
scientists to rethink how quickly the


00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.389
moon cooled and how frequently large


00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.350
impacts struck the inner solar system.


00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.509
Because Earth's earliest surface record


00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.670
has been largely erased by erosion,


00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:09.910
plate tectonics, and geology, scientists


00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:12.069
often calibrate Earth's impact history


00:12:12.079 --> 00:12:14.629
using the moon. And redating a


00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.710
cornerstone of lunar impact would


00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.470
recalibrate our picture of the early


00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.790
Earth as well and also how other inner


00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:23.269
solar system planets may have evolved.


00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.590
By pushing serenotus back in time,


00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:27.430
astronomers are shifting the entire


00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.670
timeline of when big impacts happened


00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:32.470
right across the solar system. So it has


00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.470
ripple effects for understanding not


00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.710
just Earth's early environment, but that


00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.590
of our entire place in the universe.


00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.629
This is spacetime. Still to come,


00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.030
failure for Japan's new flagship H3


00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:47.190
rocket. And later in the science report,


00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.790
how two of the world's most popular


00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:51.030
beverages, coffee and tea, influence


00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:53.509
burn health in older women. All that and


00:12:53.519 --> 00:13:11.670
more still to come on Spaceime.


00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:13.990
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency,


00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.470
JAXA, has suffered a major setback with


00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.269
its new flagship H3 rocket failing to


00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:21.670
place its satellite payload into orbit.


00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:23.269
The launch had already been delayed due


00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.269
to technical issues with the rocket and


00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.750
an abort just 17 seconds before liftoff


00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:29.750
due to an anomaly with the water sound


00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:31.910
suppression system on the launch pad.


00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:34.069
The H3 was carrying the Mikabiki 5


00:13:34.079 --> 00:13:36.310
satellite navigation system spacecraft


00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.310
from the Tanagashima Space Center


00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.949
southwest of Tokyo. However, as the


00:13:40.959 --> 00:13:43.430
rocket launched into the sky, its second


00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.670
stage engine burn suddenly cut off


00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:48.710
unexpectedly far earlier than planned,


00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.710
and that resulted in the failure of the


00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.190
satellites deployment. This is the


00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.509
second failure for the new H3 launch


00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.990
vehicle. It also failed on its maiden


00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:00.310
flight back in March 2023 when the


00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.110
second stage engine failed to ignite.


00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.110
But in between, there have been six


00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.910
successful launch missions. The H3


00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:09.590
rocket is designed to replace the


00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.150
earlier H2A workhorse of Japan's growing


00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:13.990
space industry, which has had a near


00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.030
perfect success record. The new H3 is


00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:19.030
meant to be more modular and more cost


00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:21.910
effective in the global space market.


00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:39.189
This is spacetime.


00:14:39.199 --> 00:14:41.030
And time now to take another brief look


00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:42.550
at some of the other stories making news


00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:44.310
in science this week with a science


00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.350
report. Researchers say both small and


00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.590
big increases in social media use


00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.150
between the ages of 9 and 13 are linked


00:14:52.160 --> 00:14:54.230
with a lower overall performance in


00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.189
tests of cognitive abilities. Findings


00:14:57.199 --> 00:14:58.710
reported in the Journal of the American


00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.189
Medical Association tracked increases in


00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:04.470
social media use of some 6,554


00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.790
kids over four years, categorizing them


00:15:06.800 --> 00:15:09.910
into three groups. No or very low social


00:15:09.920 --> 00:15:12.870
use, low increasing social use, and high


00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:15.189
increasing social use. The kids


00:15:15.199 --> 00:15:17.670
completed a range of cognitive tests,


00:15:17.680 --> 00:15:19.829
including tests in reading, memory, and


00:15:19.839 --> 00:15:22.470
vocabulary. The authors found that both


00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.710
small and big increases in social media


00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.870
use were linked to lower scores in all


00:15:26.880 --> 00:15:29.110
these tests. They speculate that it


00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:30.550
could simply be because kids are


00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:32.389
spending more time on social media, they


00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.230
end up spending less time on their


00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.470
schoolwork.


00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.550
A new study is offering fresh insights


00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:40.310
into how two of the world's most popular


00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.550
beverages, coffee and tea, influence


00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:45.590
bone health in older women. The research


00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.269
reported in the journal Nutrients,


00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.069
followed nearly 10,000 women aed 65 and


00:15:50.079 --> 00:15:52.550
older over a decade to explore whether


00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:54.710
their daily habits of sipping coffee or


00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.790
tea were in any way linked to changes in


00:15:56.800 --> 00:15:58.949
bone mineral density, a key indicator of


00:15:58.959 --> 00:16:01.749
osteoporosis risk. They found that tea


00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.829
drinkers had a slightly higher hipbone


00:16:03.839 --> 00:16:05.829
mineral density, suggesting modest


00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:08.949
benefits for bone health.


00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:11.030
A new study has shown that artificial


00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:13.189
intelligence systems huge massive


00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:15.509
amounts of energy to operate, in fact,


00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.509
more energy than it takes to light up

00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.310
destructive with a carbon footprint


00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.150
between 32.6 six and 79.7 million tons


00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:32.629
of carbon dioxide over a single 12-month


00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.949
period. And it's not just pollution and


00:16:34.959 --> 00:16:37.749
greenhouse gases. The findings also show


00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.030
AIS consume between 312.5


00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:43.110
and 764.6


00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.910
billion L of water every year just for


00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:47.910
cooling.


00:16:47.920 --> 00:16:49.910
Androids and robots will be dominating


00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:51.910
news at the world's biggest consumer and


00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:53.910
electronic show, CES, which will be held


00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:56.310
in Las Vegas next week. With the


00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:57.829
details, we're joined by technology


00:16:57.839 --> 00:17:00.550
editor Alex Harro from Tech Advice


00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:01.590
Startlife.


00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.590
>> The past couple of years, of course, has


00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.429
been AI, AI, AI. And the thing that has


00:17:07.439 --> 00:17:09.909
always stopped home robots from being


00:17:09.919 --> 00:17:11.189
real, besides the fact that it's


00:17:11.199 --> 00:17:13.510
difficult to make a humanoid robot that


00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:15.669
can, you know, easily glide around, walk


00:17:15.679 --> 00:17:17.669
around, deal with stairs, and have the


00:17:17.679 --> 00:17:19.510
dexterity needed to, you know, handle


00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:22.470
plates or help your seniors or handle


00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.870
babies is the fact that you need a robot


00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.270
with an AI brain to be able to talk to


00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:30.310
you like a human could, reason, ask


00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:32.310
questions, decide to do things


00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:34.630
autonomously. And so we finally live in


00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.510
an era where we have at least LLM AI


00:17:37.520 --> 00:17:39.430
systems that can pretend to think. I


00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:40.870
mean I don't really think they can think


00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.870
the way that humans think as yet, but


00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:43.909
you know they show


00:17:43.919 --> 00:17:45.110
>> large language models, right?


00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:46.549
>> Large language model which is a way of


00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:48.150
predicting what the next word will be in


00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:49.430
the answer that it gives you to a


00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.590
question you've posed by comparing the


00:17:51.600 --> 00:17:54.789
the words that appear in other answers


00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.630
across the entire corpus of the internet


00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.150
that it's been able to ingest. And so


00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.510
that's not really thinking that's just


00:17:59.520 --> 00:18:01.110
predicting what the next word would be.


00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:03.270
And of course we've seen AI systems get


00:18:03.280 --> 00:18:05.430
things completely wrong very confidently


00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:06.789
giving us incorrect answer and


00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:08.470
hallucinating. And you know if robots


00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:09.510
trying to think whether to put an


00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:11.270
ingredient or use a particular mushroom


00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:13.029
that it may have foraged in your back


00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.110
garden that may or may not be uh you


00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:16.789
know poisonous. I mean you'd have to


00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.990
really be sure to trust the um AI brain


00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.150
that it's doing the right thing recipes


00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.909
again. Haven't you?


00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:25.430
Well, the long and the short is that we


00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:27.430
now live in an era where you can have


00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.270
robots that have this manual dexterity


00:18:29.280 --> 00:18:31.350
and can look like robots and can handle


00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:33.669
things. I've seen a humanoid style robot


00:18:33.679 --> 00:18:35.270
driving a car, for example. Anything


00:18:35.280 --> 00:18:37.270
that can be handled by a human, if the


00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:39.350
robot looks and acts like a human, then


00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:41.110
it can be handled by that robot. And we


00:18:41.120 --> 00:18:44.630
did see earlier this year the 1x.te


00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.950
robot called Neo. And it was a humanoid


00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.950
robot of the sort you would expect from


00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.630
all the sci-fi dreams. I mean, it looked


00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.630
like a human. It could load the washing


00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.630
machine full of dishes or clothes. It


00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:56.390
could put clothes into the dryer. Could


00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.549
water your plants outside. It could help


00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:00.710
you bring things in from the car. I


00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.549
mean, it was a robot of the sort you


00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.710
would expect from Sci-Fi. And that robot


00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.270
goes on sale for $20,000 or you can


00:19:07.280 --> 00:19:10.789
lease it for $499 a month. Now, CES is


00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.549
meant to be all about robots. And I have


00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.230
read a number of companies already


00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:15.830
emailing me news saying, "We're going to


00:19:15.840 --> 00:19:17.750
have humanoid robots on display." But


00:19:17.760 --> 00:19:20.390
where is someone like a Samsung or an


00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.190
LG? Now, back in I think 2021, we did


00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.350
see Samsung had a what looked like a


00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:27.510
tower fan with this arm coming out of


00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:30.150
the top. It was kind of a comical robot


00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.750
that looked nothing like the robot you


00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:33.270
would expect, but at least it could move


00:19:33.280 --> 00:19:34.789
around and it had the arm that could do


00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:36.549
things like pack the dishwasher, but it


00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.310
was definitely not humanoid. Then we


00:19:38.320 --> 00:19:40.310
have Samsung with its balling, which is


00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:42.950
a bit like the BB-8 from Star Wars,


00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:44.549
except it only had the ball. didn't have


00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.070
the top section which was the the head


00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:48.310
with the with the camera as the eye and


00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:50.390
you know that can run roll around and it


00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.990
can project things on walls and it can


00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.350
help you do things but I mean it's very


00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:56.630
much a nonhumanoid robot. So LG has come


00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:58.630
out just on Christmas day with a press


00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.150
release saying that their robot will be


00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.789
called LG Cloy C L O I D with I in lower


00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.390
case and the rest of the characters in


00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.150
uppercase. And so far they've just shown


00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:09.510
a hand. They haven't shown the full


00:20:09.520 --> 00:20:11.190
robot in any of the images they've


00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.789
shared. And the hand looks one of like


00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.150
one of the hands you'd see on those


00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.310
robots from Boston Dynamics or from Elon


00:20:16.320 --> 00:20:18.470
Musk, the the Optimus robots. It's


00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.230
obviously a robotic hand. And they're


00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.990
saying that this robot is designed to


00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.310
perform indoor household tasks. And


00:20:24.320 --> 00:20:26.390
they're calling their vision the zero


00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.350
labor home makes quality time. Now this


00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:31.270
is a future where technology helps


00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:33.590
reduce the burden of daily chores of


00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:35.990
housework. And look, we have seen AI


00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.149
powered or intelligent washing machines.


00:20:38.159 --> 00:20:39.830
I remember the Fisher and Parkle washing


00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:41.990
machine had some sort of fuzzy logic in


00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.750
it systems to know whether it should


00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:45.590
apply more force or less when it's


00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:46.950
washing certain types of clothes. And


00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.950
that was around long before AI. I


00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:50.230
remember the Japanese talking about


00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:51.909
fuzzy logic a couple of decades ago,


00:20:51.919 --> 00:20:54.630
which again is an AI kind of move. But


00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.549
now we have devices that you can talk


00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:58.310
to. You can talk to your fridge. If you


00:20:58.320 --> 00:20:59.430
have a Samsung fridge, you can say,


00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.909
"Hey, Bixby." And ask it to look at the


00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:03.190
ingredients you have in the fridge and


00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.430
suggest recipes. And this natural


00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.190
language user interface with our


00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.870
appliances is going to become more


00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:10.549
common. But the other end of that scale


00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.789
is to have humanoid robots that can just


00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:14.870
use the appliances that we use. And


00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:16.390
instead of, you know, having to talk to


00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:17.830
the appliance, you talk to the robot and


00:21:17.840 --> 00:21:19.190
get it to do things. So, you know, this


00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.190
robot is built to perform a variety of


00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.110
tasks within the home. And look, we will


00:21:23.120 --> 00:21:24.710
talk more about this when I've had a


00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.710
chance to see it. And we get to see the


00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.710
uh exact image of what it looks like. It


00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.630
talks about two articulated arms powered


00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:32.390
by motors and with seven degrees of


00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.390
freedom providing motion similar to


00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:36.470
natural mo movements which by natural it


00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:37.750
obviously means human movements and


00:21:37.760 --> 00:21:39.669
there are five individually actuated


00:21:39.679 --> 00:21:41.110
fingers on each hand to provide


00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:43.590
dexterity so that can perform delicate


00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:45.190
and precise tasks that require fine


00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.110
motor control. So you can imagine that


00:21:47.120 --> 00:21:50.149
by 2030 these sorts of robots will be on


00:21:50.159 --> 00:21:51.830
sale in the Best Buy and the Harvey


00:21:51.840 --> 00:21:54.230
Normans and JB Highfi and Boots in the


00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.070
UK and you know the traditional


00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:58.710
electronics big box department type


00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:00.390
store. They'll be selling these robot


00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:02.070
butlers for your home. I mean they'll


00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:04.390
come with different names. Android Cloyd


00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:06.470
I mean the problem with the word droids


00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:08.070
is that that is actually a term that's


00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:10.630
licensed to Lucasfilm because of the


00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.029
droids that are in Star Wars. So, we're


00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:14.630
yet to see what's going to happen there,


00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.870
but I'm sure people will have real life


00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:19.190
R2-D2 style robots, except much less


00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.510
clumsier and much less dense than uh


00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:23.590
C3PO appear to be at times, much less


00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:26.149
annoying. But this should be common


00:22:26.159 --> 00:22:26.950
place.


00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:28.549
>> Well, that's right. You want C3PO


00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.470
because he is a humanoid robot. But if


00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.430
you had an R2-D2 that could move around,


00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.270
sort of glide around that, but then


00:22:35.280 --> 00:22:37.909
could grow arms as needed to be able to


00:22:37.919 --> 00:22:39.510
help you with things and even lift


00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:41.510
itself up, couldn't have a robot that


00:22:41.520 --> 00:22:42.710
>> they couldn't walk downstairs.


00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:44.390
>> Well, that is one of the problems. And


00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.470
in fact, I have heard on the quiet from


00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:48.549
one of the vacuum cleaner makers, they


00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.070
have a robot that can go up and


00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:52.710
downstairs properly. So, I'm being told


00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:55.909
and yes, the Daleks and also R2-D2, they


00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:57.430
couldn't go upstairs. And there was an


00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:59.510
episode of Doctor Who where the Dalek


00:22:59.520 --> 00:23:01.430
did have jets and could fly up the


00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.390
stairs. And in the original u prequel


00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:05.990
trilogy, not the original trilogy, but


00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.510
in the prequel trilogy, I think in the


00:23:07.520 --> 00:23:09.110
middle movie, there was a moment where


00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:11.350
Archer Dichu did indeed fly to


00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:12.549
>> here. Little jets. Yeah,


00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:13.909
>> little jets. But those sorts of jets


00:23:13.919 --> 00:23:15.669
won't be appearing in robots anytime


00:23:15.679 --> 00:23:16.870
soon for the home because you can


00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:18.549
imagine those jets are going to blow air


00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:20.549
everywhere or if they are jets that have


00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.750
uh you know the won't be happy. I mean,


00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:25.350
not with dust. Well, Roomba's actually


00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:27.190
gone out of I think Roomba's gone out of


00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:28.470
business. Um, I mean, they've been


00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.070
bought by by somebody else, but they're


00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:31.750
one of the original robot vacuum cleaner


00:23:31.760 --> 00:23:33.190
companies that no longer exist. So,


00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.950
we've seen cons consolidation all over


00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.950
the place, but having a robot, which is


00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.630
something Apple has spoken of as well,


00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.350
but this next 5 years is going to see


00:23:41.360 --> 00:23:43.830
robots and AI, which is basically a


00:23:43.840 --> 00:23:45.590
computer on either legs or wheels,


00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:47.830
become autonomous and mobile and a true


00:23:47.840 --> 00:23:49.590
robot sidekick. It's going to be


00:23:49.600 --> 00:23:50.870
something we'll see over the next 5


00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.149
years that's going to change the world.
