Joe Rogan on Space Junk "We're So Gross!"

Yeah, it's in the other side of the planet. Wasn't there a book though where like that happens and everyone goes to Australia but there's like a cloud of radiation coming that's eventually going to get them? Fuck. Maybe we just get a big fan below that shit to Russia. I bet that would work. I'm going to shit the giant fan. Look, if they can figure out how to nuke an entire country with a few bombs that drop out of airplanes or shoot out of rockets. They should be able to build a giant fan. Build a big fan. Why is that so hard? Like I was reading this shit about space junk. Do you know how much space junk there is? Like there's stuff floating around in space. Like thousands of pieces of shit just flying around. Broken satellites, parts. Is it all just broken satellites? All kinds of shit. Yeah. All kinds of stuff. Stuff from, you know, like when rockets take off and then they eject and they leave little pieces of stuff up in there. And is it like in a ring? Like a Saturn type ring or is it just everywhere? It's everywhere. It's all over the planet. It's like it's in the sky like it's in the ocean. It's like there's pieces of shit just flying around above our head and like they have to be cognizant about it if they're going to launch a rocket. Yeah. Like you could run into it. Space debris and human spacecraft. They all travel at speeds up to 17,500 miles an hour. More than 500,000 pieces of debris or space junk are tracked as the orbit Earth. Think of that. They travel at speeds up to 17,500 miles an hour. Small enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a spacecraft. Fuck. That's how, what's that movie with Sandra Bullock? That's how it starts. Gravity? Yeah. Yeah. Is it Space Junk that comes across? Yeah, they're like fixing a satellite and something comes by and like it nicks it and the next thing you know. Yeah. Fuck. That shit can happen. And they don't know what to do either. Like they'll throw a net up there? What are you going to do? I'm thinking like some kind of like magnet satellite that would just attract everything. Right. But then it would probably get too heavy. I think it'll probably take out things that you need it still. Yeah. Is this the junk that we can track? Over time. It starts in 57. There's only two things out there and then. Oh, God. We're gross. We're so gross. I bet the ocean's a similar story. Wow. Look at all the shit around. The ocean's even worse. Oh my God. That's incredible. That's all real? I don't know. 2015, the entire low, inner, like near earth orbit is covered with shit. Space debris. Satellites and nonsense. I mean, at what point in time, I mean, we've only been traveling in the space since the 1960s, right? So what, when is this going to end? Like that's, that's not that long ago. That's 50 plus years ago. What are they going to do when it's a hundred years from now, 500 years from now? I mean, are we going to be able to see the sun? I'm going to just look up and just see space shit floating over here. So it said it was only 500,000 pieces of the earth. It's pretty fucking big still. We'd have to get a lot. I guess. Like I had a snap effect that it said, if you dug a hole through the earth, it would take you 42 minutes to fall through it. It's like, how fucking big is that? It's a long, long drop. Yeah, it's a long fall. Austin, I was thinking, would you stop in the middle? He died. He cooked. I know, but in theory. But if you didn't, yeah, if it was just a tube, a zero temperature or a, neutral temperature tube. I wonder how like how accurate snap effects really have to be. Like, is it ever called bullshit on a snap effect? I don't drink that shit. So I don't read those things. I didn't even know they had snap effects until you just said that. I didn't. They used to have like little things on the caps. Like you say it makes sense to me, but I don't think I've ever read one of them. I used to always read them. No. Yeah. I can't remember any of them. You ever get angry at a snap effect? No.
