podcast

Alex Kanian, a NASA astronaut, discusses the importance of space exploration and the misconceptions about its cost. He argues that the money spent on space exploration is actually a small percentage of the government's budget and is necessary for advancing technology and expanding our knowledge of space. Dr. Rondoff, an astronaut on the International Space Station, supports this view and believes that exploring space will help solve mysteries and benefit humanity. The podcast also mentions the potential connection between carbon emissions and the need for space exploration. Tune in to the next episode for more information on the solar system and seasons. Hello and welcome to the O-Gen Festival. Our guest today is Alex Kanian. He is a NASA astronaut with a passion for astronomy and helping the world receive a better understanding for what the world and what we need to expect. Welcome to the O-Gen and today's podcast is sponsored by NASA. NASA is a company that explores the space giving the world an image where you can imagine what space is really like in their exhibitions. They're going to share with us why more funds should go towards space exploration. Don't forget I'm Alex, an astronaut for NASA Australia. Thanks so much for joining us today Alex. Thank you Levi. Although space exploration is still extremely expensive compared to the average worker and average annual wage, the money spent on space exploration is overestimated from the real cost. That's only 0.5% of the U.S. government's budget to create amazing and advanced technologies with the best science tools. We must consider it for human civilization's benefit to have a wider range of knowledge of space. This phenomenon or a more recent issue should be prioritised. All of this is backed directly by evidence on how they use their money for long-term purposes such as further investigations into the solar system, investing money in technology to use on Earth and finally money into projects and exhibitions to publicly invest their time and money.

Alex, with your expertise of astronomy and your connections, do you know anyone that could speak with us who is in the NASA space station right now? To answer your question Dan, I do have a couple of fellow workers in the space station right now. One of them there is Dr. Rondoff and he'll come on live right now. Once again my name is Dr. Rondoff but you can just call me Ronnie. I believe that the money should go towards space exploration for more fun so we can explore and clear up more wonders of what's out there in space. Right now we are in a dilemma since we are trying to use all of our profits towards finding the wonders but it's hard since we have restrictions with leaving the station and technology in the suits. Finally the money will help us dramatically to solve everyone's thoughts on the wonders of space.

There you go folks, that hopefully answers your question Professor Rondoff. He's now going to explain to us why the massive amount of carbon emissions may result in the necessity of space exploration. Thank you for listening Alex, thank you for listening to the pod episode and tune in to the one on Thursday since we will be talking about how the solar system works and how the seasons go by.
