Everything Woody Hoburg said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Microgravity causes human heart tissue to age much faster than on Earth
“Now it turns out weightlessness causes heart tissue to age much faster than on earth, so we're using that as a model to study treatments for heart disease.”
Astronauts successfully 3D-bioprinted human meniscus tissue aboard the ISS
“We printed a section of human meniscus using a biofabrication facility.”
NASA plans to launch the Artemis II lunar mission in fall 2025
“Right now, they're scheduled to fly in the fall of twenty-twenty-five, so in a year.”
NASA targets 2026 for the first crewed lunar landing via Artemis III
“And then the plan right now is for that first crewed landing in twenty-twenty-six with Artemis III.”
NASA plans to use SpaceX Starship for the first Artemis lunar landing
“The human landing system, which is going to take them down to the surface, we have two providers for that, and one of those, and actually, the one we plan to use for that first landing is the SpaceX Starship.”
Russian Soyuz was the sole ISS crew transport from 2011 to 2020
“When the space shuttle retired, it left us our only option to continue sending humans up to the space station was a Russian Soyuz rocket. That situation changed in May of 2020. SpaceX made history. They launched NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on a…”
Weightless 800-pound solar arrays still retain physical inertia in space
“The array unit, it's 800 pounds of mass. So it's weightless, but you still feel the inertia of that 800 pounds in your hands.”
Polaris Dawn will conduct the first-ever commercial spacewalk in history
“It'll be the first commercial spacewalk.”
Polaris Dawn lacks an airlock, requiring full cabin depressurization for spacewalks
“They're gonna depressurize the vehicle to vacuum. So they don't have an airlock or anything. They're gonna take the vehicle all the way to vacuum.”
Woody Hoburg demonstrates Earth-Moon scale using a basketball and tennis ball
“It's a convenient quirk of the scale of the objects in our solar system that if you make the earth a basketball, this is the earth, then the moon is a tennis ball. So in this scale, it's 24 feet.”
The ISS weighs 1 million pounds and consumes 75 kW of power
“On an average workday, it consumes about 75 kilowatts. It is a million pounds of mass in low Earth orbit. It's about 250 miles above Earth. To stay in that orbit, it has to travel five miles every second.”
SpaceX Crew Dragon reaches space just 12 minutes after launch
“And so, 12 minutes after launch, you're in space.”
