1
Chuck.
2
Yes.
3
We're going back to the moon.
4
I didn't know I've been in the first place.
5
Nash.
6
NASA.
7
Alright, NASA is going back to the moon.
8
Yes.
9
Let's back up a little.
10
Right.
11
Okay?
12
The first and only other time we went to the moon was the Apollo program.
13
Correct.
14
As you know.
15
We went to the moon nine times.
16
So we faked it nine times.
17
Not even in my marriage has that much faking taken place.
18
Apollo 8.
19
Okay.
20
Went to the moon, orbited and came back.
21
Okay.
22
Took that famous picture of Earthrise or the rocket.
23
Earthrise, that's right.
24
Apollo 10.
25
Okay.
26
Went to the moon, orbited the moon, deployed the Lander, and it came back up.
27
Right.
28
So that's Apollo 10.
29
Right.
30
Apollo 11, everyone remembers.
31
Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, walk on the moon.
32
Right.
33
And they leave Michael Collins up in the capsule.
34
Just left him up there.
35
Didn't even give him the opportunity to go down later and check it out for himself.
36
You know what I mean?
37
It's in the plan.
38
These are professionals.
39
That is rough.
40
You know what I mean?
41
You're gonna make me the chauffeur.
42
I gotta go to the moon.
43
You're gonna make me the moon chauffeur.
44
I didn't even get the moon chauffeur.
45
I'm the moon chauffeur.
46
Then there's Apollo 12.
47
Apollo 13, the ill -fated one.
48
- Right.
49
- Old Hollywood movie.
50
- Yes.
51
- On that, directed by Ron Howard.
52
And then Apollo 14, 15, 16, and 17.
53
- Okay.
54
- All right.
55
Why did we go?
56
We're Americans, we're explorers, it's in our DNA is what we are told.
57
Right.
58
That's not why we went.
59
That's not why we went.
60
No, why did we go?
61
- You could wanna go for those reasons, but that's not what makes it way to write a check.
62
Who writes the checks?
63
Congress writes the checks.
64
You gotta spook Congress somehow into writing the check.
65
So Kennedy says, - We go to the moon and do this, that, and the other thing.
66
Because it is hard.
67
- So, so Yuri Gagarin comes out of orbit.
68
- Okay.
69
- Okay?
70
- Right.
71
- First man in space.
72
- Yeah.
73
- In order to orbit the earth.
74
- Right.
75
- Six weeks later, we have a joint session of Congress.
76
President Kennedy says stirring words, "Put a man on the moon, return him safely to earth before the decade is out." Go earlier a couple of paragraphs in that same speech.
77
and even utter the man's name.
78
The events of recent weeks are any indication of the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere,
79
then we need to show the world the path of freedom over the path of tyranny.
80
- Voldemort is back!
81
Dumbledore, I tell you, Voldemort is back!
82
- The enemy is established.
83
The godless enemy is established.
84
The checks were written.
85
- And yeah, well there you go.
86
- And they'd already beaten us with the first animal in space, Laika.
87
They already beat us at all of that.
88
We needed something to beat them.
89
So we said, let's go to the moon.
90
We're going to land on the moon.
91
And walk around.
92
And walk around.
93
Even though they beat us in all these other categories.
94
Right.
95
And we did.
96
So what happens we get to the moon look over our shoulder no Russkies we're done here
97
So did we really go to explore no, or do we go to just beat the Russians right?
98
We have not been back to the moon in 50 years.
99
So you know many scientists went to the moon zero One one do you know which mission?
100
No, the last 17.
101
So we had the astronauts do science experiments.
102
It's not that no science happened.
103
No, but don't fool yourself into thinking that This was all for exploration.
104
It was muscle flexing on the geopolitical sphere during a Cold War, when we're fighting a hot war in Southeast Asia against that enemy.
105
We don't go back to the moon, not in the '70s, Not in the 80s, not in the 90s.
106
Wait a minute, in the 20 teens, let's go back to the moon.
107
What a great idea.
108
We're long overdue.
109
It's been half a century.
110
I wonder how the moon is doing.
111
Why did we have these thoughts?
112
Let's park the curtains.
113
What else happened in the 20 teens?
114
China says they wanna put taikonauts on the moon.
115
- Oh.
116
- Taikonaut.
117
Their version of a cosmonaut, our version of an astronaut.
118
- Right.
119
Oh my gosh.
120
China's going to the moon
121
if there's ever a reason for Congress to reinvigorate the funding to go back to the moon It was
122
that and have so we announced program to return to the moon.
123
We go to the moon Not because it's easy, but because it's I don't know is there money there?
124
And so this happens under the Trump administration.
125
Yeah, okay, so Trump says let's go back to the moon.
126
Yeah, and And the program to return to the moon has one of the best names ever.
127
Space Force.
128
No. No, what is it?
129
Artemis!
130
Artemis!
131
Yes!
132
So who is Artemis in Greek mythology?
133
Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo!
134
Look at that!
135
You can't get more woke than that.
136
That's uh, which is why I would change the name.
137
To get rid of this D -E -I Artemis chick.
138
And so right now, there are like three, four, five such missions planned.
139
Okay.
140
But each one, just as the original Apollo mission, - Each mission was a little more ambitious than the next.
141
- Okay.
142
- Right?
143
As you heard, Apollo 10, they went halfway down, came back up.
144
- I love the incremental approach.
145
- It's incremental.
146
- I love it.
147
- And the press can talk about each increment, 'cause each increment is more than what happened before.
148
- Yeah, I know.
149
- Each thing is a progress wheel.
150
- Absolutely.
151
- So, remember the Saturn V?
152
- Yeah.
153
- That's it.
154
- That's it.
155
- That guy right here.
156
- It's all rocket.
157
- It's all rocket.
158
- It's just all rocket.
159
- It's all rocket.
160
- Right on up to here, and then, right up to here, and then you get the astronauts.
161
- Right.
162
- There's three of them.
163
We had, Mercury had one astronaut, Gemini, how many do they have?
164
- Maybe two.
165
- Yeah.
166
- Apollo three.
167
- All increment up to landing on the moon.
168
So they're up here in the little capsule right here.
169
- Exactly.
170
- And this is the Cape?
171
that if something bad happens, this launches and carries the capsule and its residents away from this bomb.
172
- Yeah, exactly.
173
- Okay.
174
So, we got one of those as well, but it's specially designed for the future.
175
It's called the Space Launch System, SLS.
176
So it has not only a big old giant rocket, it's got what we're familiar with now with the Space Shuttle, it's got two solid rocket boosters.
177
on the side the value of that is you use up their fuel and
178
when they're done you just drop them away there you go
179
you don't want to carry empty empty tanks empty tanks
180
and then the main rocket will also have multiple stages as
181
well this was the brainchild of warner von braun multi -stage
182
rockets right without him we'd all have these bullet -shaped v2 looking rockets right that are to do this.
183
You drop away things you don't need anymore, and that way the remaining thrust is pushing on a lower mass object.
184
Right.
185
So the SLS with the capsule included is about the same size as the Saturn V.
186
But here's a good way to think about how big it is.
187
Let's compare it to the Statue of Liberty.
188
Except that's not the right comparison.
189
Let's make the Statue of Liberty its actual size relative to the SLS.
190
So it's about the same size of the Saturn V.
191
Okay But it has the help from these Okay, all right point is the capsule is which is containing and protecting the life forms,
192
there are things like the original capsule, was not expressly designed to protect you from radiation.
193
- Right.
194
It might incidentally do so because it's made of metal and whatever, but this is radiation insulated.
195
It has other life support systems to protect The occupants, as you would want.
196
- Okay.
197
- Okay?
198
The original Apollo capsule could seat three astronauts.
199
The Lockheed Martin one can seat four.
200
We add another one to the mix.
201
And of course it is also once again connected to a rocket tower
202
That will if something goes wrong in an instant it'll rapidly take the capsule away from this
203
Rocket bomb right that's detonating in ways that you don't want yes exactly So it's good.
204
It's nice have a little ejector button ejector exactly exactly in a way the most important part of the whole rocket
205
- That's where the people are.
206
- That's where the people are.
207
So, Artemis won.
208
flew the entire kit and the caboodle to the moon, and it landed in the ocean just like the old days.
209
Yeah, with blast down.
210
With three parachutes, and there was the capsule, and landed right near a—there was an aircraft carrier, just one of the ships that would collect it out of the water, and it was great.
211
Uncrewed, just to test the system.
212
Next, Artemis II goes with crew.
213
- To the moon, but doesn't land, and then comes back.
214
- Okay.
215
- Okay?
216
That's a very Apollo 80 of them.
217
- Right.
218
- Eight, eight, eight, yeah.
219
- To go to the moon and then come back.
220
That's the first time we've sent astronauts off of the Earth to a destination since 1972, since Apollo 17.
221
- Damn.
222
- Four years.
223
- I'm gonna say that's tragic.
224
- What year was 54 years before we landed on the moon?
225
It was 1914.
226
So you see how far we went from 1914 to 1969.
227
- That's terrible.
228
- That's how I think about where we should be in space.
229
- That's terrible.
230
- Okay.
231
So, Artemis IV, scheduled, for the future will take the crew
232
and they will land on the moon targeting the south pole
233
okay south pole we have crater rims where the sun
234
which never gets very high in the sky that's happens when the sun is in the sky when you're near the poles.
235
- Right.
236
- And there are craters that are so deep with rims so high, the sun never reaches the bottom of the plane.
237
So when comets hit and they, deposit water molecules on the surface.
238
If it's where the sun hits, it evaporates.
239
If it goes in the middle of the crater, it's there.
240
It's a coal trap.
241
And we got it for water.
242
Forever.
243
And so you can quote mine those molecules out for water, You can turn it into rocket fuel, separating the hydrogen and oxygen.
244
- I'm starting to see the motivation here.
245
China is going to go.
246
We're like, "That water's ours, China." - So the South Pole is the object of affection.
247
- Yeah.
248
- Not only China sent, a rover is there, Russia sent a rover, one of them crashed, I think.
249
We've sent a spacecraft to the South Pole.
250
So that's where everybody's sort of gathering right now.
251
And if it's gonna be a turf war, it's gonna be there.
252
And we didn't want to be left out.
253
- There it is.
254
- There it is.
255
Once again, it comes down to the fact that we don't want to get beat.
256
- We have a real or perceived threat from an adversary that we are reacting to.
257
But that's not going to be in the top cover.
258
- What does our treaty say about like water is now commodity on the moon?
259
So what does our treaty say?
260
- There's the outer space treaty, which was modified, updated to become the Artemis treaty.
261
Oh!
262
Signed by 50 60 countries.
263
Okay, not China not Russia.
264
Oh, they came up with their own treaty that they signed among themselves Okay, so they got a treaty we got a treaty treaty means
265
you help each other need you don't hide secrets what a perfect opportunity to showcase cooperation
266
Like we're we're not on earth anymore like you we can't even go to the damn moon and work together
267
We can all get this water because guess what you know, right whoever gets it we needed to get to Mars or wherever else It's the old watering hole problem with tribes.
268
Yep all over
269
So I just want to sort of celebrate the fact that we are going back even though it's 50 years later, right?
270
I'm happy.
271
We're going back right I understand the motive.
272
I'm not delusional about that that crew going to the moon looks more like America than the
273
- Trump puts it in and who follows Trump as president?
274
- Biden.
275
- Biden.
276
He doesn't cancel it.
277
- Nope.
278
- He keeps it.
279
- He was asleep, that's why.
280
Anyway.
281
- So everybody keeps the space?
282
- Right.
283
- Because it transcends politics.
284
- It does.
285
- And you realize, NASA has 10 centers in eight states.
286
And those eight states, variously at the general election, vote four red, four blue, three red, five blue.
287
Five red, three blue?
288
It is embedded in the political spectrum of the country.
289
So if someone does not like NASA, that is insufficient information for you to know what party they vote for.
290
- There you go.
291
- That's how you embed it in.
292
- See?
293
Kind of how I see it.
294
- There it is, congratulations NASA.
295
The only thing about America that doesn't suck.
296
On that note, this has been yet another StarTalk explainer.
297
The Artemis mission, following on, "The Legacy of Apollo." Tuck, good to have you, man.
298
- Always a pleasure.
299
- Neil deGrasse Tyson, your personal astrophysicist,
300
as always, bidding you, to keep looking up.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per gli apprendisti dell'inglese di immergersi in una conversazione pratica sulla storia delle missioni spaziali. Quando si parla di argomenti affascinanti come il ritorno sulla Luna, non solo si stimola l'interesse, ma si favorisce anche l'apprendimento attivo. La pratica di conversazione in inglese attraverso il video permette di affinare le proprie capacità linguistiche, migliorare la fluidità e acquisire fiducia nel parlato. Utilizzando tecniche come il shadowing, gli studenti possono ascoltare e ripetere le frasi pronunciate, permettendo loro di migliorare la pronuncia inglese e di familiarizzare con la sintassi colloquiale.
Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto
Nel video, ci sono diverse strutture grammaticali e espressioni chiave che meritano attenzione:
- Domande retoriche: L'uso di domande retoriche, come "I didn't know I've been in the first place," non solo rende il discorso dinamico ma coinvolge anche l'ascoltatore.
- Passato semplice e presente perfetto: La dicotomia tra i tempi verbali è evidente; frasi come "We went to the moon" (passato semplice) rispetto a "I've been" (presente perfetto) mostrano le diverse dimensioni temporali e le esperienze.
- Colloquialismi e frasi idiomatiche: Espressioni come "make me the moon chauffeur" illustrano l'importanza del linguaggio informale nella conversazione quotidiana.
Comprendere queste strutture aiuta gli apprendisti a utilizzare il linguaggio in modi più naturali nel loro parlato, ideale per la pratica di conversazione in inglese.
Trappole comuni nella pronuncia
Durante il video, ci sono alcune parole e suoni che potrebbero risultare difficili per chi sta migliorando la pronuncia inglese:
- "Apollo": Fai attenzione alla pronuncia delle vocali, poiché alcuni potrebbero pronunciarlo in modo errato come "A-polo" invece di "A-pol-o".
- "Chauffeur": Questo termine francese potrebbe risultare complicato; la corretta pronuncia è "shoh-fur", accentuando la prima parte della parola.
- Accento su parole chiave: Prestare attenzione all'accento sulla prima sillaba di parole come "Earthrise" può aiutare a migliorare la chiarezza nella comunicazione.
Utilizzando attività di shadowspeak, è possibile esercitarsi in modo mirato su questi suoni e migliorare la propria pronuncia in modo efficace. Sfruttando questo video, puoi rendere la tua esperienza di apprendimento ancora più ricca e coinvolgente.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are told · is established · were written |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've been · have not been · we've sent |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
