Learn more@edwardjones.com I'm doing poorly and this is Sunday morning. It all began when the Russians launched the world's first artificial sunlight.

In 1957.

Sputnik had that highway in the sky all to itself back then but more than 60 years and thousands of launches later the highway to the sky is littered with space junk and as David Pogue will explain it's a lot more than a nuisance. Just when you thought pollution on earth was a problem. Now we have to worry about scraps of space junk demolishing satellites and crashing into the space station maybe once, twice a year. We have situations where something is going to call sometimes we have to move the station to cars going 70,000 mph and intersected people dreamy ballot to cause a lot of damage coming up on Sunday morning.

What's to be done about space junk where and how and at ease with one of Hollywood's biggest stars this morning, but Tracy Smith reports that beneath the celebrity actor George Clooney is very much a family man, your thief, liar lied about being a thief to steal live. No one delivers a line like George Clooney and some of his best ones are about his family literally and am I kidding.

She tried to hard boil an egg. Once by putting an egg in a pan on the stove without any water in a series like that. My wife makes reservations for home with George Clooney later on Sunday morning. John Blackstone tells us about the hidden legacy of Jim Morrison late lead singer of the doors. Then Tracy has an in-depth report about what may be nature's ideal wine cellar in waters off Santa Barbara commentary from face sailing and more. It's Sunday morning, August 8, 2021 will be right back space junk debris.

Large and small, spinning uncontrollably, and increasingly cluttered universe. It's a lot more than unsightly. It's dangerous David Pogue reports on a collision course in the skies.

If you're going to be a character in a space movie. You gotta watch out space junk. Everyone to happen a lot like what not. Everyone knows that plot twist is fiction anymore.

I got a call from my chief satellite officer lost track of our satellite vehicle number 33 more oversight. May have been hit by something you – is the CEO of iridium, whose 66 satellites provide voice and data connections governments companies air traffic and shipping in 2009, a defunct Russian satellite crashed into one of iridium's so how bad was the damage will completely took out our satellite the iridium disaster was a wake-up call for the space industry. There is estimated to be like 130 million tiny pieces smaller than the size of your thumb out there been at 17,000 miles an hour they can do damage the litter in low Earth orbit has become a constant danger to the international space station in May.

Astronaut Sarah discovered a hole in the station's giant robotic arm. Fortunately, the arm still works, but it was a lucky strike. This time the Air Force space force are constantly monitoring the debris in low Earth orbit. I spoke to astronauts Victor Glover and Mike Hopkins in April while they were aboard the space station. Sometimes we have to move the station sometimes we don't.

So it is a constant something that were always worried about appearance something that we have to be mindful of. And if there's no time to move the space station. Then you have to take shelter get in basically air Rescue vehicle and be prepared to depart the station. Peggy Whitson has spent more time in space than any American my second flight.

I think we had to do one on debris avoidance maneuver and made it three or four on my last one. There is a greatly increasing number of objects out there. There's an old saying that space is big anymore.

It's getting smaller and smaller by the day.

John proceedings is a professor at the University at Buffalo who specializes in space debris. Like many experts he's worried about the Kessler syndrome Donald Kessler was an engineer at NASA, and he predicted that debris would hit on the debris which caused more debris I think of 50 years.

If we don't do something probably collisions can be so great is thy worth putting satellites of the deathly don't want to do that.

So what are the proposals for cleaning up our act up there. There many proposals right now unfortunately him or her feasible, but that doesn't mean people are trying in 2018 and experimental European satellite called the remove debris successfully ensnared fake piece of debris Internet startup called Astro scale has devised several approaches to cleaning up space junk.

None of us think that this is going to be easy, but we all know it has to be done. Chris blacker be is Astro scales, chief operating officer. In March, the company launched a satellite called Elsa that's designed to capture any piece of space junk that was fitted with a special magnetic plate this summer it will try to grab a fake dead satellite are going to extend out that has magnets on the go and attach to. But even if you can get all the technology to work even if you can figure out a way to pay for it. How much of the problem can Astro scale really fix debris but we think that we can put a significant reduction on the risk of future operations and orbit by taking these steps.

Iridium's Matt – isn't convinced by those efforts.

Technology can help enforcement can help soon and I can't help in a big way is really no business case for that in the near term to make a big dent in the space. Meanwhile, our primary satellite traffic lanes are about to get a lot more crowded companies like Elon musk Starling are in the process of launching mega constellations.

Thousands of tiny satellites designed to provide Internet service all over the world.

Many other governments in the world have plans to create their own mega constellations and their rules of the road for all of us to work together effectively coming. There's not even the simplest thing of ensuring that people don't fly at the same altitude to just asking for problems.

If you could wave your magic wand and solve the problem. What with the pieces that solution look like we think the most important thing is don't create anymore, but were still trying to figure out a technical solution for so if you have a problem with the satellite don't watch another one. Another thing that's really important is that there has to be a lot more cooperation and coordination between everyone listen space for everybody has to communicate the information you can imagine. Perhaps the Russians and Chinese have a problem coordinating giving all the information about their satellite locations to the U.S. Air Force in a way this is sort of an age-old human story.

Whether it's a stump in plastic or us dumping chemicals or us burning fossil fuels we don't really think through the debtor does that really behind your write up minutes so-called tragedy of the commons. Low Earth orbit is a global resource that we all have to protect from future because we don't get another one. Then Tracy this morning dives into uncharted waters align seller under the sea about a mile off the coast of Santa Barbara, California usual search is underway. What exactly are we out here looking for treasure is my soul. You always know until I get back home.

Even when Leon Sorrento is our God is both an experienced diver and is a native of Italy.

He's also wine drink married all the things I like. He then disappears into the water. In about 20 minutes later this breaks the surface. A massive metal cage filled with the bounty of nearly 1500 bottles of red wine. This is not done. Sorrento knew what he was looking for because he sank in the ocean.

Yuriko is the cofounder of ocean phantoms company experimenting with using the ocean for as a wine cellar.

Bottles come out dripping with seawater and shellacked with seashells. While it does look like something you'd find out a pirate. After just one year. In the murky depths. The bottles have bonded with the ocean bottom attracting plenty of curious and perhaps thirsty sea creatures, but ocean phantoms is more interested on the inside of the bottom it calls this section of the Santa Barbara Channel nature's perfect seller because there is little oxygen and light, the temperature remains a constant 54° and ocean currents. Gently rock the bottles so the motion of the ocean really is just kind of cradle whales what bottles is whales are singing cradle by the good life is better for sure Sorrento was inspired by stories you read a few years ago about a treasure trove of champagne from a shipwreck found on the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The 168 bottles including some very vintage co-were still highly drinkable. After 170 years underwater the same champagne house has since created its own seller in the sea program storing various bottles of bubbles 130 feet down in a Baltic Sea wind volt intrigued super curious and Jean Parr was a sommelier for 18 years and now makes his own wine near California's central coast perfect up there grow grapes where the cool ocean breeze provides ideal conditions for making world-class wine but when ocean phantoms approached Parr about dropping some of his best vintages into the Pacific. He wasn't convinced. At first he thought this might be kind of a gimmick meows like interesting know I wasn't sure. He ultimately decided to sacrifice a few bottles and see what happens. Microblog realized it wasn't a gimmick.

I realize it was definitely not a gimmick. What does that ocean due to the wine wine involves an texture so why would tenant become softer tenants, wine, rustic, become more around, but the nose is identical does not age aroma only. Ages texture and how long would it typically take you to get that kind of texture and a seller 05+ years a while. The bottles sell for a premium starting around $350, but not everyone is a true believer, California's coastal commission is reviewing ocean phantoms permit application and his expressed concerns about the wine cages impact on marine life and fishing grounds.

That's okay treasure. Finally, you now one of our Sunday best night story of dogged determination on this 100° day in El Paso Texas. Terrier named tumble is enjoying a bit of fresh air while trying to beat the heat.

Most of compass time spent here inside a cage. El Paso animal services is brought to the shelter. After she was found on the street. Her head trapped in offense in any given year, we have 25,000 to 30,000 animals come through the door, Young's job is to help get those animals out the door, but the dogs in El Paso than there are doctors. It's a common story at shelters in several cities, but it's not the story. My job just drop by. I didn't know I met with Kuhn and Jackson were in life is good and everybody has a dog and all the doctor will take your shelters and Peter Rourke is a retired orthopedic surgeon at based in Jackson, Wyoming's love dogs ever since he was a boy I like dogs better than most people I know.

They're just pure of heart and pure soul also happens to be a part-time pilot when he retired from medicine. He realized that he might be able to help connect some of the towns that have full shelters to towns full of willing adopters so he took the seat out of his plane and took to the skies cofounding the nonprofit dog is my copilot. The mission is stated to fly or transport the dogs from the areas that have a high euthanasia rate. Areas that will never put down healthy typical day might involve loading up a plane full of animals in Merced, California, and then dropping them off to receiving partners in Portland, Seattle and Missoula, Montana. What's in maximum number of animals you have 251 where that's not like you have no it's it's an amazing olfactory experience began his rescue flights in 2012, just a few months after the sudden death of his wife Meg. He was distraught, desperately searching for a new direction.

My wife passed away I was in the darkest place so you can imagine mutual friend of ours called me and said you know Peter you need to knock this off, Meg would want you to be happy. So get out there and there he went to date. Dog is my copilot has flown more than thousand and mostly dogs if you That's Way More of an Impact That Ever Made As an Orthopedic Surgeon and so so It's so Much More Rewarding. 72 Animals Waiting for Work at the El Paso Airport at 4 AM on a Sunday, Including Tired, Tumble Once Everyone Is Safely Loaded onto the Plane Work Is off.
