Hey Scott Budman, how are you? Good Mike, how are you? Good, good. Did you have a good week? Yes, it's been non-stop. Non-stop tech news, non-stop space news, I'll take it any day. Where were you at today? Today talking Artemis, as you and I speak, it is Thursday night and a little less than 24 hours until splashdown. So by the time people hear this, hopefully we will have a smooth end to

an amazing mission. Yeah, they're coming in at what, 23,000 miles an hour? Yeah, and that heat shield that they're depending on was developed here near where we sit at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View. Oh, yeah, my dad spent 20 years working at Ames, so... There you go. You realize that's where the personal computer came from? Yes. That the, they had a timeshare system set up in the

lobby. And Steve Wozniak used to sit there and dream and use it and dream about having his own computer at home. And that's where it all began. Yeah, they have a building there that had been turned into a McDonald's after being like a space tracker systems research center. And it's awesome to think that, okay, where the fries come out is actually where they had a laser detector. It's just an amazing

place, both present and history. Yeah, I interned there in high school. So in the planetology department. That's amazing. I love it. So first bit of news, it kind of broke today, maybe a little bit yesterday. The New York Times initially reported it. But a startup company called UMI reviewed 4,326 Google search results.
