Year Joe, straight from the broadcast studio, and then the

static this ain't no pret sound story, so as prophetic

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.839
did where the trot got secret snow parted, microphone alchemists

far sopping through the fault lines of time. We ain't mainstream,

11
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.479
We ain't just stream safer with the prophets to code

12
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.520
the dreams. So with you turn in better guards to mind?

13
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:49.759
Is broadcasting seeds and were breaking the design? Then yeah, yeah,

14
00:00:50.840 --> 00:01:01.119
yo yo, straight from the broadcast stay.

15
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.079
I'm Benetton, and tonight we're lighting a match in the

16
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:09.359
dark room where America keeps its moon memories. Did we

17
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.000
really set boots on that gray dust? Or did we

18
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.079
stage the greatest Hollywood b roll of the Cold War.

19
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.480
Here's the uncomfortable tension. There's real physical evidence that Apollo happened,

20
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.280
and there are also real bureaucratic knots that make it

21
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:35.280
feel like we lost our way back. First, the receipts

22
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.359
point a high powered laser at the Moon and ping

23
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.799
light comes back off mirror rays Apollo astronauts left there.

24
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.239
That isn't folklore. That's an ongoing experiment called lunar laser

25
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.599
ranging that scientists still use to measure the Earth Moon

26
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:02.680
distance down to the millimeter. It's not sexy TV, but

27
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.000
it's hard evidence. NASA's own pages lay it out and

28
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.520
even note the Soviet reflectors are part of the network.

29
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.479
And if you want photos, the Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter has

30
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:24.960
imaged the landing sites from above, descend stages, footpaths, rover

31
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.919
tracks like crime scene photos taken by the world's quietest detective.

32
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.039
So why the persistent feeling that we can't go back.

33
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.319
Part of it is a quote that's been meaned to death,

34
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.759
an astronaut saying, in effect, we don't have the technology anymore.

35
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:55.680
The viral version skips the boring truth. Apollo was a

36
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.520
once in a generation industrial surge. The factories closed, the

37
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.840
tooling scattered, the contractors merged, retired, or died, and the

38
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:13.840
documentation lives across thousands of reports, drawings, and vendor specks,

39
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.159
not a single ikea manual labeled how to build Saturn five.

40
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:24.960
The National Archives has addressed this directly. The plans weren't destroyed.

41
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:33.240
The reality is just more complicated. Recreating the capability is

42
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:39.879
the mountain not finding a mythical loss PDF, And yet

43
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.960
we are trying to go back. Artemis one flew an

44
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.080
uncrewed loop around the Moon in two thousand and two.

45
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.680
Then engineers found heat shield behavior they didn't love, so

46
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.080
NASA pushed the crew the crude Artemis two to April

47
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.680
twenty twenty six and the landing mission to mid twenty

48
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:09.879
twenty seven to make sure it's right. That's not defeat,

49
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.360
that's risk mitigation. With people's lives on the line. Today,

50
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.319
we'll hold two ideas at once. One, the evidence of

51
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.199
Apollo is tangible. Two, the path back isn't as simple

52
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:34.279
as dusting off a blueprint because national ambitions, budgets, politics,

53
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.519
and fragile supply chains don't. They just don't live in museums,

54
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.399
will follow the paper trail of the lost Seturn five test.

55
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:47.560
The strongest hoax claims against hard data and ask a

56
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.639
bigger question, why did America let its greatest capability atrophy?

57
00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:00.360
And what does that say about us? Now you dig

58
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.480
work like this, curious, respectful, unafraid to poke the bear,

59
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.199
do me a solid like share and review broadcasting seeds.

60
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.319
That's how the show grows and how these conversations reach

61
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:24.920
the folks who need them. Section one, the forgotten Blueprint?

62
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:31.199
How do you lose the Saturn five? All right, let's

63
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.399
start with the most maddening part of this whole Moon saga,

64
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.959
the fact that NASA, the crown jewel of American science,

65
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.759
basically shrugged its shoulders and said, yeah, we don't have

66
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:50.279
the technology to go back to the Moon. What that's

67
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.639
like Da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa tossing his brushes

68
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.199
into the fireplace and telling everyone he forgot how to

69
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:03.240
mix paint. The Saturn five rocket was a It was

70
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:07.680
a beast, over three hundred and sixty feet tall, capable

71
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:12.519
of hurling one hundred and forty thousand pounds into low

72
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.439
Earth orbit and fifty thousand pounds to the Moon. It

73
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.199
was the single most powerful machine humans have ever built.

74
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:26.439
And here's the kicker. We stopped making them in nineteen

75
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:34.360
seventy three. The blueprints scattered across the warehouses, offices, and

76
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.000
contractor file cabinets. Some documents went to archives, others were

77
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.120
never properly cataloged, and a lot were stored in systems

78
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:51.480
that became obsolete long before the Internet. Imagine your grandma's attic,

79
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:57.079
but instead of yellowing a receipt car recipe cards, it's

80
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.160
full of schematics for lunar engines. Now people take that

81
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.959
fact and run wild with it. If we lost the bootprints,

82
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.879
maybe we'd never have had them in the first place.

83
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:16.639
It's a seductive thought, right, But the more boring and

84
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:21.959
maybe more damning reality is that it wasn't a bond

85
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:27.879
villain conspiracy. It was bureaucracy. NASA didn't think it would

86
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.800
need those rockets again, Apollo was about beating the Soviets,

87
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.199
not building a sustained Moon colony. Once the flag was planted,

88
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.120
public interest just tanked. I mean, we deal with this now,

89
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:47.920
with all kinds of things. Vietnam just drained budgets and

90
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.920
politicians saw no point in cutting more checks for expensive

91
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:58.439
lunar road trips. Still, let's not give them too easy

92
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.000
of an out. How does the most advanced project in

93
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.600
human history get treated like an old box of receipts.

94
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.000
Some former engineers have said the knowledge wasn't lost, but

95
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:17.600
that the expertise aged out. The guys who built the

96
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.839
Saturn five retired or died, and the specialized manufacturing process

97
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:26.720
like welding those massive fuel tanks or machining those engines

98
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.680
weren't passed down because they didn't need to be. It's

99
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:34.080
like finding an ancient sword buried in the dirt, but

100
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.399
forgetting how to forge steel. And here's where this all

101
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:45.039
gets spicy. Losing the technology doesn't just look sloppy. It

102
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.919
fuels the conspiracy fire because if the US government can

103
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.639
misplace the Key to the Stars, what else are they hiding?

104
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.600
Was Apollo just a pr stunt with Hollywood lighting and

105
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.679
Kubrick behind the camera, and now they're scrambling to cover

106
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:08.879
their tracks? Or is it worse that we did go

107
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.440
but found something we weren't meant to mess with and

108
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:20.120
the sudden amnesia just it was just convenient. At the

109
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.399
end of the day, this isn't just about rockets. It's

110
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.080
about how a nation can light up the night sky

111
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.080
with fire and ambition, only to snuff it out with

112
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:37.559
apathy and paperwork. We lost more than blueprints, We lost momentum,

113
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:49.159
and maybe, just maybe that was by design. Section two

114
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.320
Kubrick cameras and the Cold War stage. All right, let's

115
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.320
wade into the swamp where conspiracy, cold war paranoia, and

116
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.879
pop culture all tangled together. The theory that the moon

117
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:12.360
landing was faked. You've heard the greatest hits. Shadows don't

118
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:16.360
line up, a flag looks like it's waving in the wind,

119
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.440
no stars in the lunar sky, and the infamous whispers

120
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.799
that Stanley Kubrick, a genius who shot two thousand and

121
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:29.360
one a Space Odyssey, secretly directed the Apollo Moon footage

122
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:37.200
on a Hollywood set. Now, let's be honest. On the surface,

123
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.480
some of those anomalies sound super convincing. If you've ever

124
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.120
seen those Grammy Apollo photos, they do look odd. The

125
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.080
flag appears to ripple, but there's no air on the moon.

126
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:58.639
The astronauts cast strange multiple shadows, almost like studio lights

127
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.919
were in play. And where the heck are the stars.

128
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.720
You'd expect the heavens to be ablaze with them, but

129
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.799
the sky is just black. Now, for people suspicious of government,

130
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.360
it's like candy. You can't stop snacking on these details.

131
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:24.679
But here's the thing. When you pull the threads, most

132
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:29.279
of these mysteries unravel. The flag wasn't waving. It had

133
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.679
a horizontal rod at the top, and the wrinkles made

134
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.759
it look like it was moving. The shadows. The lunar

135
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:42.240
service is uneven, so light playing tricks the missing stars.

136
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:47.039
That's a photography issue. The cameras were set for bright

137
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:51.720
white suits on a sunlit surface, not faint pin pricks

138
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:57.360
of distant starlight. If NASA had added stars, that actually

139
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:05.279
would have been suspicious. Still, the Kubrick ankle angle is

140
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.039
where the story gets cinematic. People claim he left hints

141
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:15.799
in the shining Danny Turici's Torrent, Sorry, Danny Torrance is

142
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.399
a hollow eleven sweater room two thirteen. The moon is

143
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.360
about two hundred and thirty seven thousand miles from Earth,

144
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:28.360
depending on who's counting whether Kubrick was actually involved or not.

145
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:34.279
The story resonates because it feels possible. Why Because the

146
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.919
US government has lied before. They lie all the time.

147
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:43.000
Think mk Ultra, the Tuskegee Experiments, the Gulf of Tonkin.

148
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.639
Once you know the state is capable of deception. The

149
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:53.559
leap from cover up to fake moon landing doesn't feel

150
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:59.639
like much of e leap, but let's zoom out. If

151
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:05.399
the lands were staged, the motive was clear. The Cold

152
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.120
War beating the Soviets wasn't just about rockets. It was

153
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:17.720
about ideology, freedom versus communism, capitalism versus collectivism. The moon

154
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.480
was the ultimate billboard the plan, and planting the stars

155
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.879
and stripes in that desolate dust sent the loudest message,

156
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.639
America Winds, did we need to really go or did

157
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.279
we just need the world to belief that we went?

158
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.799
Even if you accept the evidence that we did go,

159
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.360
the fact that millions still believed that we didn't says

160
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:51.080
something deeper. It shows a fracture and trust. Once faith

161
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:57.879
in government truth telling breaks, even your proudest achievements start

162
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:03.639
to look like smoking. That's the real ghost haunting Apollo,

163
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:13.519
not Kubrick's camera, but doubt itself. Section three, One way trip?

164
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:19.639
Why haven't we gone back? So here's the elephant in

165
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.960
the room, or maybe the astronaut in the room. If

166
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:26.799
we really went to the moon in nineteen sixty nine,

167
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:33.279
why haven't we been back? With ease? Think about it

168
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:39.559
more than fifty years of technological progress, computers in our

169
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:45.720
pockets more powerful than the systems that guided Apollo, private

170
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.039
companies landing reusable rockets like Sci Fi toys, and yet

171
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:55.399
no repeat of the giant leap for mankind. For a

172
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.840
lot of folks. That absence screams louder than any footprint

173
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:06.679
in the lunar dust. The official explanation they start with

174
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:12.320
politics and money. The Apollo missions were insanely expensive by

175
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.080
today's dollars. The program cost over two hundred and fifty

176
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:21.840
billion dollars. That kind of cash only was only justifiable

177
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.679
during the Space Race, when beating the Soviets was a

178
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.559
national obsession. After the flag was planted and the cold

179
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.279
worn narratives secured public interest, just it's fled out plummeted

180
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:42.000
by Apollo thirteen, Americans were already changing the channel. NASA

181
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.679
was left with strength, shrinking budgets, and orders to focus

182
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.200
closer to home, like on Earth, orbit, the Space Shuttle,

183
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.399
the International Space Station. Then there's the human factor. Space

184
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:01.600
is freaking dangerous. Apollo one sow three astronauts dying a

185
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.679
fire on the launch pad about thirteen nearly ended in disaster.

186
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:11.120
Every trip to the Moon carried risk, and politicians weren't

187
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.600
eager to explain to voters why their tax dollars ended

188
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:19.919
in funerals. A one way tragedy could have unraveled the

189
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:24.440
victory narrative. In that sense, not going back was a

190
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:31.320
safe move, not technologically but politically. But let's be real,

191
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:36.759
This gap in lunar visits fuel some darker speculation. Some

192
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.960
believe we did go, but we weren't alone. Whispers of

193
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.600
structures on the far side of the moon, strange radio transmissions,

194
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.559
and accounts from astronauts like Buzz Aldrin talking about lights

195
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:54.480
following Apollo spacecraft. Did we stumble across something we weren't

196
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:59.639
meant to see, something that made continuing missions too risky

197
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:05.000
but because of budgets, but because of what was up there.

198
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.359
Not because of budgets, but because of what was up there.

199
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.160
Others suggest the simplest answer is also the hardest pill

200
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:20.480
to swallow. We basically just lost our nerve. We had

201
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:25.160
one shining moment of collective willpower, spent the resources, bent

202
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.839
the physics, and actually pulled it off. And then we

203
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.839
let us slip away like a runner who breaks a

204
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.680
world record and then retires. We proved we could do it,

205
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:41.559
but never built the endurance to make it sustainable. Now

206
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.960
fast forward to today, NASA's Artemis program promises a return

207
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.119
with the timeline that keeps slipping further into the future.

208
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.359
First it was twenty twenty four, then it was twenty

209
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:02.000
twenty five. Now it's twenty twenty seven for a crude line. Now,

210
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.519
private players like spaces X talk about Mars colonies, but

211
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.000
even they haven't touched the lunar soil. The question lingers,

212
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:17.279
is the hesitation about logistics or is it about something deeper?

213
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.799
And here's the seed that I'm going to plant in

214
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.920
your mind. Maybe the real story isn't whether we went,

215
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.000
but why we didn't stay. Because they people who can

216
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.839
reach another world and then walk away. That says more

217
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:42.440
about us than about the Moon. So here's where we

218
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:55.000
land pun totally intended. The Apollo missions are either humanity's

219
00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:00.160
proudest achievement or history's most elaborate magic trick, depending on

220
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.640
which rabbit hole you prefer. We have evidence that suggests

221
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.680
we left more than just footprints on the lunar service surface,

222
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.480
and yet we've lived half a century with nothing but

223
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.480
promises to go back that gap. That's silence is where

224
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.839
doubt grows, and that's the bigger point. It's not just

225
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:26.920
about whether Neil Armstrong really hopped around in low gravity.

226
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:36.599
It's about what we've lost since then, and that's confidence, curiosity, momentum,

227
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.000
maybe even trust. Civilization that can touch another world but

228
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.279
won't return it to it has to ask what else

229
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:50.960
have we set down and walked away from? As with

230
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:56.200
most mysteries, the truth is layered. There's bureaucracy, there's budget

231
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:01.640
cuts and burned out ambition, but there's also the possibility

232
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.759
of hidden truths, things we weren't supposed to bring back,

233
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.799
and the deep human suspicion that whenever the government says

234
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:16.640
trust us, we probably shouldn't. The question isn't just did

235
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.119
we go? It's what do we do with that story now?

236
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.880
Because whether Apollo was a leap or a lie, its

237
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:33.480
shadow still shapes us. So if you dug this conversation,

238
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.519
if you made, if it made you question, laugh or

239
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.319
even shake your head, do me a favor like share

240
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.759
and review the show. That's how broadcasting seeds grows. That's

241
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:50.960
how these seeds we plant into sprout into real conversations

242
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:56.680
and kitchens, classrooms and late night campfires. I'm Benettanton and

243
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:01.160
this has been broadcasting seeds. Keep looking up, keep questioning,

244
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:19.640
and keep planting those seeds of doubt and discovery.

245
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:25.759
We built our towers out of fire and steel. Where

246
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.599
he's the ears of heaven.

247
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.880
Non spinning wheels.

248
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.079
Left our footprints in the dust.

249
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:40.079
Of dreams, and bury the truth where no one can see.

250
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:48.480
The camera's rule the world believe afflct in the silence

251
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:49.400
of God.

252
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:57.079
We to see footprints lost in the bureaucasts. His stars

253
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.559
were requiet, and.

254
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:06.039
So did our face sell the screams and shadows leave

255
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:16.480
through them science. Didn't we climb or did we fall?

256
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:25.400
Who still a lot him through when it was a

257
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:34.640
wall trapped to the giant leave left the song long

258
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.559
we touch this guy then turned on bass. Now the

259
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:53.279
rock is gone and the s long come bas.

260
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.039
They say the tech is gone.

261
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.799
He raced.

262
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.359
The guts of science have lost their place.

263
00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:58.960
Maybe the moon just stayed too long.

264
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:01.559
At what we are and what went wrong?

265
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:06.640
Kubrick's ghosts in the reels of gold, cold Leason stories told.

266
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.839
Was it victory or a Masquerade's?

267
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:12.319
There? Don't one take one fat.

268
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:18.759
We had the power, the will of the fire and

269
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:25.200
somehow we forgot the way back. Maybe the truth wasn't

270
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:31.519
lost lost, Maybe maybe it was buried married.

271
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:43.839
We never went back.

272
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.200
We never went back again.

273
00:23:53.640 --> 00:24:00.799
One way trip burned, the maps killed us. Sig No,

274
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.839
don't look back, true soul.

275
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:10.720
Rocket will know turn and we're still orbiting. The lessons

276
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:20.880
will never load. Brass made in the loader, sand study whippers.

277
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:26.559
No one left to stand. We reached the heavens and

278
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:33.039
lost a spark and left or ghost to fa in

279
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:34.720
lone talk
