The Daily Turnup

If the human species wants to survive, grow, and be better then we need to start expanding to our planets.  It's really that simple. And there are a good amount of super-rich people that think the same. Enter Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson. 

When it comes to the space race the conversation begins with the end goal. Colonizing Mars. I think there are about six steps to colonizing mars if I were to break this down in the most simplistic way possible.

1)    The biggest issue. And btw every time we reach a new step it will be the biggest issue. Anyways it's all about getting there. The technology, the duration of the flight, our spacecraft good enough, and the list goes on with the myriad of problems from construction a space ship, lift off, flying 235.54 million miles, and landing safely. Like that undertaking alone is absolutely insane for where humans collectively are now. 

a.    Fortunately there are a few companies out there and countries that really want to do this. SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, The Chinese, the Russians, the EU, and of course the U.S.A. we’ll cover more specifics of each of these later.  

b.    The point being, it's going to happen. The tech will get there, the spacecraft will get there, and there are humans that want to go. Musk remains “highly confident” that SpaceX will land humans on Mars by 2026, saying last December that it's an achievable goal “about six years from now.” He added that SpaceX plans to send a Starship rocket without a crew “in two years.”

2)    Next, Building infrastructure:

a.    Transportation: more than just humans, stuff to build and building in less gravity (38% of earth's gravity) and .13% oxygen compared to earth. And then there’s constructing buildings. New building tech will need to be created

3) Self-Sufficient: ...

We have a great episode lined up for you today. The Homeless Problem   

I’m excited to jump into this topic. I’ve actually had it on my list of topics for a while now. If you haven’t picked up by now, I’m really into two things. The first and most obvious, unbiased news. Which is vital to understanding what’s happening in the world and not following a form of propaganda. The second, for people to be efficient in life and contribute to the world and human advancement. When I read and watch topics of people that are just surviving and not doing anything other than sucking up the oxygen or when their lives are so bad because of war, genocide, and homelessness it makes me angry. Of course for the injustice but also because that person isn’t contributing, advancing human society, and frankly living their best life.

Homelessness is one of the points where you have over a half-million Americans just surviving. Not living their best lives, not contributing, and it's kinda hard to watch. So, we’re going to look at how Americans become homeless, break down how it affects communities, look at how the City of Austin, Texas is handling their homeless problem, and then try to provide a solution.

241 Black Americans died in 2020 at the hands of law enforcement. Less than .001% of police interactions result in death. Big media is pitting black Americans and law enforcement against each other. We take a look at recent events of police using lethal force, police being killed, and what can be done to end this cycle. 

Woke: Alert to injustice in society, especially towards racism. But somehow being woke or woke culture has transformed into cancel culture and injustice has been replaced with hating others' opposite views and opinions. Today's episode dives into the new culture of American and what it means for all of us. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: Debt could be one of the biggest issues in America that no one is talking about, but does it really even matter? From the reports, COVID most likely originated from an animal. The Suez Canal is showing another massive vulnerability in many businesses, no plan B. 

A Baltimore high school student failed all but three classes over four years and almost graduated near the top half of his class with a 0.13 GPA. Public schools in the United States are failing their students, the students are failing themselves, and parents are just as easy to blame. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: Every step NASA takes on Mars or should I say roll is a massive win for Humans in its quest to explore space. The Pope risked his life to go to Iraq to preach Peace. Tesla is taking a loss after loss, day after day. The pain will stop, but it's probably accurate.

Lebron James and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are both outspoken athletes. Today we examine why athletes should talk out of their area of expertise and the consequences when they do.  

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: COVID is on the decline, vaccines are working and Johnson and Johnson are getting close to pushing out a one-dose vaccine that will only help end COVID life.  China is not backing away from calls of human abuse, instead, they are shifting the blame to western countries and their shortcomings. President Biden is focusing on the shortcomings of the American supply chain. He has an opportunity to make a difference and fix the issue. 

Millions of people in Texas were left shivering without power, heat, and running water for several days this week and at least 30 died after a severe winter storm crippled power plants and the electricity grid.  Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said his family vacation to Mexico was “obviously a mistake” as he returned stateside Thursday following an uproar over his disappearance during a deadly winter storm. We're going to take an in-depth look at the failures of the Texas power grid and what it means to you.
