1. How many G's do you think

2. the human being can survive?

3. For reference,

4. 1g is what you experience

5. at sea level on Earth.

6. A space shuttle at launch and reentry has 3g's.

7. Military jets max at 9 to 10.

8. What do you think?

9. The answer is...

10. 46.2g's.

11. In 1954, John Stapp experienced 46.2g's

12. and survived.

13. He was participating in an Air Force experiment

14. and strapped himself to a rocket sled

15. in the Mojave Desert.

16. No one has ever sat harder.

17. On that particular run,

18. Stapp went faster than expected, and when he stopped,

19. they were certain they'd find him dead.

20. But he was mostly okay.

21. Every single blood vessel in his eyes had burst,

22. but incredibly not the eyes themselves.

23. And eventually, he regained his sight

24. and proof that humans were more durable

25. than previously thought.

26. Fortunately, there is no one on board

27. Josh Melsky's drone last Saturday,

28. when I went with he and Mike to fly it.

29. They asked for a ride because Mike can't drive right now.

30. But also said they'd help get an aerial photo

31. of my grandmother's house

32. for the real estate listing.

33. This was the moment when Mike told Josh

34. he should try to fly the drone into the Sun

35. and Josh got pissed off.

36. I won't give the play-by-play

37. of my neighbors' argument,

38. but they ended up going for breakfast as a Kris Mart

39. and letting me fly.

40. Here's a question for you.

41. Should I use the money

42. from selling my grandmother's house

43. to buy a hot air balloon.

44. Drift around on weekends.

45. Yell your answer up to the sky,

46. where I will be.

47. I wish.

48. A lot of people think that "The Wizard of Oz"

49. had a happy ending,

50. but not me,

51. because Dorothy missed out on the opportunity

52. to take a hot air balloon ride.

53. "Willy Wonka" is a better film,

54. 'cause they end up in the sky.

55. That's how good fantasies go.

56. Up to the sky.

57. In all of the best dreams,

58. we're able to leave the ground.

59. Way back, there were dinosaurs

60. who had this dream, as well.

61. Instead of getting bigger and more aggressive,

62. they decided that the best way to survive was to go up

63. and figured out a way to jump and not come down.

64. And these became birds —

65. mostly peaceful things

66. with little brains and beautiful songs.

67. Not the flight made all birds peaceful,

68. but I think the perspective helps.

69. Plus, they know they can BM on anything they'd like.

70. I wonder what the world would be like

71. if everyone spent two hours a day

72. in a hot air balloon?

73. Are you alright?

74. Yeah.

75. Just looking through the footage

76. we shot last weekend.

77. Do you want to see? I'll cue it up for you?

78. Hold on. Just...

79. You didn't hear anything outside, did you?

80. I don't think so.

81. Okay.

82. Yeah, I'll check your video out in a few.

83. Okay.

84. Let me know.

85. Sarah was overtaken by another bad feeling

86. and wanted to leave town again.

87. But it was too cold to camp.

88. So we did the only other thing that would make her comfortable

89. and locked ourselves in down here in her basement.

90. I figured showing her this footage

91. may help alleviate some worry.

92. If you want to fly yourself,

93. K. I. Sawyer Airport is 20 minutes away in Gwinn.

94. It's a regular airport now, but for many years,

95. there was an Air Force base

96. that housed jets to intercept Soviet bombers

97. we feared would fly over Canada to attack us.

98. It was also home to Strategic Air Command,

99. which kept B-52 bombers in the air at all times

100. in case we needed to fly over Canada to attack them.

101. Wild that atom bombs were coming and going regularly

102. just 20 minutes from my house

103. and disappointing to learn that to build the runways,

104. they paved over one of the best blueberry patches

105. in the state.

106. Shit.

107. In a twist of irony,

108. an old Soviet tanker was forced

109. to land at the airport in 2009

110. and has been parked there ever since.

111. A story for another time.

112. But if you're into stuff like that,

113. Sarah found that to the East,

114. there's a large concrete triangle

115. in the middle of Hiawatha National Forest.

116. If you look on the website

117. Abandoned and Little Known Airfields,

118. you'll find out that it's an airfield built

119. to protect Great Lake shipping during World War II.

120. Out of use now, it's just another interesting thing

121. you would never notice from the ground.

122. I wonder if the higher up we go,

123. the calmer we will feel.

124. What do you think?

125. I've never been on an airplane,

126. so I can't say for sure.

127. But the other day, Gene was telling me

128. about the overview effect, which might support that.

129. The overview effect is a term they give

130. to a shift in awareness

131. astronauts described after feeling Earth from space.

132. Hard to put to words, but generally,

133. they say a greater understanding of our planet

134. as a fragile ball of life

135. and appreciation for how precious things are,

136. and also that borders are chowder brained.

137. I've been thinking, the more people

138. we can get to experience the overview effect, the better.

139. It makes it more likely

140. that we can avoid the dystopian future depicted

141. in Ridley Scott's "Alien"

142. or Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner."

143. By the way, Joe,

144. I can't wait to show you what had been working on.

145. It's not quite finished, but should be soon.

146. How's your chair coming?

147. Still figuring it out.

148. There are a lot of aspects to consider.

149. You'll find a way.

150. Hey, Sarah.

151. Yeah.

152. You want to watch the footage now?

153. Joe, I'm sorry. I'm not in the mood?

154. It's okay.

155. Um, can you, at least, help me do a ham radio call.

156. Alright.

157. What's the call sign?

158. A...

159. R-I-S-S.

160. Come on.

161. I'm serious.

162. There's no way you're getting in touch

163. with the International Space Station.

164. It'll be fun to try.

165. Okay.

166. Can we try this one?

167. I-A-3-R-1-W.

168. Who is that?

169. Lance Bass from NSYNC.

170. I'm just kidding, but he is a ham radio user.

171. Oh, who is this?

172. Hello? Hello?

173. Hello.

174. Is this Italian astronaut Major Paolo Nespoli?

175. Speaking.

176. This is Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli,

177. from Houston.

178. Hello, Paolo.

179. This is Joel from the U.P.

180. I'm in my girlfriend, Sarah's, basement,

181. and she's here too.

182. Hi, Joe. Hi, Sarah. It's nice talking to you.

183. If you have some questions, of course, about space,

184. because that's all I know, go ahead and shoot them?

185. What is the most amount of G's you've experienced?

186. Well, I have experienced 8g's in the centrifuge.

187. Well, what did that feel like?

188. Well, it's pretty hard.

189. You're a pretty tall guy.

190. What is that like as an astronaut?

191. Well, yes, I had the record

192. of being the tallest guy ever flew on theSoyuz.

193. And you get taller once you go to space.

194. You get taller.

195. I was about almost 3 inches taller.

196. Yes, because the spine elongates, and you grow.

197. Alright. I'm 5'2". Would that be good astronaut?

198. Or what's the best size for an astronaut?

199. Well, I've thought about it several times

200. and it's kind of strange

201. because if you take the ideal astronaut,

202. you need to find a person without legs,

203. because you're not using it.

204. Did you have any trouble sleeping in space?

205. Actually, space was probably the time when I slept the best

206. because no kids around, no lights, no noises.

207. Everybody is sleeping and so nothing to disturb you.

208. So I slept like a baby.

209. Was there anything you did to relax

210. while on the space station?

211. But actually, you know, I am kind of a strange guy.

212. In my house, I don't have a TV.

213. So when I start the flight, I felt the need to relax,

214. and everybody was talking about these shows

215. that I never really saw it.

216. And in space, there's a very good library

217. and there were all the seasons of this TV show.

218. So I started looking at that. I think that relaxed me.

219. I got into it, and I really like.

220. That's what I did on my last mission.

221. If you don't mind me asking, which show was it?

222. "Game of Thrones."
