>> Announcer: THAT'S A 3.3.
[58]
I THINK THAT SHOULD BE A 5.5.
[61]
I MEAN, HOW CAN YOU -- YOU CAN
TAKE YOURS OFF.
[66]
THERE YOU GO.
[67]
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH.
[69]
OH, YEAH.
[70]
OH, YEAH.
[73]
4.93, BABY.
[74]
WHAT ELSE IT WITH YOUR
BILLIONAIRES NOT WEARING SHOES?
[76]
DO YOU JUST HAVE THE ENTIRE YARD
LEATHERED INSTEAD?
[79]
LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
[81]
WELCOME BACK TO THE COOL GREEN
HILLS OF EARTH.
[83]
>> THANK YOU.
[84]
I'M STILL COMING DOWN SLOWLY.
[86]
>> Stephen: I CAN IMAGINE.
[89]
CONGRATULATIONS.
[89]
>> THANK YOU.
[90]
>> Stephen: I JUST WANT TO
TAKE -- JIM, LOOK AT THIS
[93]
ACCELERATION THAT YOU WENT
THROUGH ON SUNDAY MORNING.
[95]
DO WE HAVE THIS, JIM?
[99]
THERE YOU GO.
[99]
THERE'S THE RELEASE.
[101]
FIRE IN THE ROCKET AND HERE'S
WHERE WE SEE YOU GET JAMMED BACK
[105]
INTO YOUR SEAT.
[106]
THERE'S THE DROP, THEN HERE WE
GO, SLAM -- HERE IT IS.
[111]
AT ANY POINT DURING THAT
PROCESS, DO YOU THINK THIS WAS
[114]
NOT A GOOD IDEA?
[117]
( LAUGHTER )
>> YOU KNOW, THERE ARE TIMES IN
[121]
THE YEARS LEADING UP TO IT, I
WAS WONDERING WHETHER THE BODY
[125]
WOULD COPE, AND THE MOMENT I
REALIZED THE BODY WOULD COPE, I
[130]
JUST ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
[131]
IT WAS A DREAM FROM TEENAGE
YEARS COME TRUE, AND WE HAD A
[136]
BLAST.
[137]
>> Stephen: YOU HAD A MESSAGE
FROM SPACE FOR KIDS EVERYWHERE,
[141]
JIM.
[143]
>> TO ALL YOU KIDS DOWN THERE, I
WAS ONCE A CHILD WITH A DREAM,
[146]
LOOKING UP TO THE STARS.
[148]
NOW I'M AN ADULT IN A SPACE SHIP
WITH LOTS OF OTHER WONDERFUL
[154]
ADULTS LOOKING DOWN TO OUR
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL EARTH.
[158]
TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF
DREAMERS, IF WE CAN DO THIS,
[162]
JUST IMAGINE WHAT YOU CAN DO!
[167]
YAY!
[171]
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: NOW, ONCE YOU GOT
[176]
BACK DOWN HERE, I ASSUME A
MILLION PEOPLE CALLED YOU TO
[179]
CONGRATULATE YOU OR TO ASK YOU
QUESTIONS.
[182]
WHO'S THE MOST MEANINGFUL
CONTACT ONCE YOU GOT BACK TO THE
[188]
PLANET?
[189]
>> IT WAS BUZZ ALDRIN.
[191]
SOMEBODY, AS A TEENAGER, WHEN I
WATCHED THE MOON LANDING, MY DAD
[195]
TOOK ME OUT SIDE AND WE LOOKED
UP TO THE MOON WITH MY SISTERS,
[199]
AND HE JUST SAID, THERE ARE TWO
PEOPLE STANDING ON THE MOON
[203]
RIGHT NOW.
[203]
THAT WAS SO INSPIRATIONAL.
[206]
AND BUT ONE OF THE SAD THINGS IS
WE'VE ALL BEEN LOOKING BACKWARDS
[212]
TO THOSE SORTS OF FLIGHTS.
[213]
AND NOW KIDS CAN START LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE CHANCE OF GOING
[217]
TO SPACE THEMSELVES ONE DAY AND
HOPEFULLY WE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO
[222]
THAT.
[223]
>> Stephen: A LOT HAS BEEN
MADE OF THE COMPETITION BETWEEN
[226]
THE SPACE BILLIONAIRES.
[228]
YOU AND JEFF BEZOS, WHO IS GOING
UP IN SEVEN DAYS AT THIS -- NOT
[232]
THAT IT MATTERS AT THIS POINT
BECAUSE YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN UP.
[237]
( LAUGHTER )
SORRY, JEFF.
[238]
HE LIQUID THE DONUT IS WHAT HE
DID.
[240]
BUT YOU DON'T CARE, IT DIDN'T
MATTER YOU WENT UP FIRST.
[245]
>> IT HONESTLY DIDN'T.
[246]
>> Stephen: HONESTLY, IT
DIDN'T?
[250]
( LAUGHTER )
>> HONESTLY --
[250]
( LAUGHTER )
NO --
[251]
>> Stephen: IF HE HAD ASKED
YOU NOT TO GO UP FIRST, WOULD
[255]
YOU HAVE SAID, SURE, I DON'T
CARE?
[257]
>> NO.
[258]
HONESTLY, NO.
[259]
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: BUT ELON MUSK, WHO
[262]
HAS ACTUALLY GOT AN ORBITAL
PROGRAM, HE STOPPED BY, CAME
[268]
AROUND 3:00 A.M. TO WISH YOU
GOOD LUCK.
[270]
AGAIN, NOT WITH THE SHOES ON.
[272]
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR BEZOS
WHEN HE GOES UP?
[276]
>> LOOK, I JUST THINK THAT HE
AND THE PEOPLE HE'S BRINGING
[280]
UP -- HE'S BRINGING UP A
WONDERFUL LADY WHO I'VE KNOWN
[283]
OVER THE YEARS -- JUST SIT BACK,
RELAX, LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW.
[288]
JUST ABSORB THE VIEW OUTSIDE AND
THINK OF -- YEAH, REALLY, REALLY
[294]
TAKE IT IN.
[295]
IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S A ONCE IN
A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.
[297]
ENJOY IT.
[298]
>> Stephen: WAS THERE ANY
MOMENT WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT MIGHT
[303]
BE NAUSEOUS?
[305]
PEOPLE FIRST IN ZERO G WILL POP.
[309]
>> I WAS NERVOUS.
[310]
YOU HAVE THE WORLD FILMING AND
IMAGINE JUST THROWING UP ALL
[317]
OVER YOUR SPACESHIP.
[318]
>> Stephen: NOT THE BEST
ADVERTISEMENT FOR YOUR PRODUCT.
[322]
>> MY KIDS SAID, DON'T WORRY,
THEY'LL SEE YOU'RE A HUMAN
[325]
BEING.
[327]
NO, IN THE MOMENT, I REALIZED IT
DID NOT GIVE YOU THAT KIND OF
[329]
FEELING AND I JUST ENJOYED IT.
[331]
I WAS RELIEVED, BUT IT WAS -- IT
WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
[334]
>> Stephen: NOW, WHEN YOU
CALLED ME AND ASKED ME IF I
[339]
WOULD WANT TO HOST THIS THING, I
SAID, THAT SOUNDS VERY EXCITING.
[343]
I'M A HUGE SPACE FAN.
[345]
I SEE A LOT OF VALUE IN PEOPLE
GOING TO SPACE, BUT THERE'S BEEN
[348]
A LOT OF PUSHBACK FROM PEOPLE
OUT THERE SAYING WHY SPEND YOUR
[353]
MONEY TO GO DO THAT, AND NOT YOU
AND THE OTHER BILLIONAIRE
[359]
CREATING YOUR OWN PROGRAMS, BUT
ANY SPACE PROGRAM WHEN THERE ARE
[363]
SO MANY PROBLEMS ON EARTH,
INEQUALITY, GLOBAL WARMING, WHAT
[367]
WOULD YOU SAY TO THOSE WHO THINK
THIS IS A MISUSE OF RESOURCES.
[373]
>> I CAN UNDERSTAND IT BUT I
THINK THEY'RE NOT FULLY EDUCATED
[375]
ON WHAT SPACE DOES FOR US.
[376]
>> Stephen: WHAT DOES IT DO
FOR US?
[378]
>> FIRST OF ALL, PEOPLE WOULDN'T
BE LISTENING TO THIS PROGRAM
[381]
MOST LIKELY IF IT WASN'T FOR
SPACE.
[383]
SPACE IS CONNECTING THE BILLIONS
OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CONNECTED,
[386]
YOU KNOW, ON THE TELEPHONES, ON
OTHER THINGS.
[392]
SPACE IS -- I MEAN, EVERY SINGLE
SPACESHIP THAT WE SEND, WHETHER
[398]
VIRGIN ORBIT WHICH WE LAUNCHED A
WEEK BEFORE INTO ORBIT AND
[404]
PUTTING SATELLITES UP THERE AND
MONITORING THINGS AROUND THE
[406]
WORLD LIKE THE DEGRADATION OF
RAIN FORESTS OR MONITORING FOOD
[413]
DISTRIBUTION, YOU KNOW, EVEN
MONITORING THINGS LIKE CLIMATE
[416]
CHANGE AND SO ON, THESE THINGS
ARE ESSENTIAL FOR US BACK HERE
[419]
ON EARTH.
[420]
SO WE NEED MORE SPACESHIP GOING
UP TO SPACE, WE DON'T NEED LESS.
[425]
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE PRICE
RIGHT NOW?
[429]
>> WELL, YOU COULD AFFORD IT.
[434]
( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE )
[439]
HE DID ACTUALLY ASK IF HE COULD
COME UP WITH ME WHEN I INVITED
[443]
HIM TO HOST THE PROGRAM.
[446]
HE SAID, OKAY, I CAN'T COME UP
WITH YOU IF IT'S FULL.
[453]
I DON'T KNOW, WE HAVE FOOTAGE, I
THINK.
[455]
>> Stephen: DO WE?
[456]
I PROMISE TO TAKE THIS PERSON
TO SPACE, SO WE'RE TAKING A
[459]
PICTURE OF THIS PERSON UP.
[462]
WE DON'T WANT HIM TO WEIGH TOO
MUCH BECAUSE EVERY LITTLE BIT OF
[466]
WEIGHT COUNTS.
[468]
BUT I WOULD HAVE STILL FULFILLED
THE PROMISE OF TAKING HIM TO
[473]
SPACE.
[473]
PUT HIM IN MY TOP POCKET.
[476]
ALL RIGHT, STEPHEN.
[479]
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: I'M HONORED.
[480]
I'M HONORED.
[481]
THANK YOU.
[487]
( APPLAUSE )
>> ONE SMALL PHOTO FOR STEPHEN
[491]
COLBERT, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR
MANKIND.
[494]
THIS HAS BEEN TO SPACE AND I
WOULD LIKE TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
[496]
>> Stephen: THANK YOU.
[499]
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU SIGN IT?
[502]
WOULD YOU SIGN IT?
[503]
THAT WAY --
>> I WOULD BE HONORED TO SIGN
[507]
IT.
[508]
IT'S A LITTLE BIT SMALL TO GET
MY WHOLE SIGNATURE ON, BUT I'LL
[513]
TRY.
[513]
THERE.
[514]
>> Stephen: THAT'S FANTASTIC.
[515]
THANK YOU, RICHARD.
[519]
>> THANK YOU.
[520]
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: RIGHT AFTER YOU
[523]
LANDED, YOU TALKED ABOUT AN
OMAZE AUCTION YOU'RE RUNNING FOR
[530]
CHARITY.
[531]
WHAT IS THAT?
[532]
>> WELL, WE WANT MANY, MANY,
MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD TO
[535]
BE ABLE TO GO TO SPACE BUT
WITHOUT PAYING ANYTHING, APART
[539]
FROM A $10 RAFFLETICKET.
[542]
SO WE'VE GONE TO A CHARITABLE
FOUNDATION.
[548]
OMAZE WILL RUN A GLOBAL
COMPETITION, AND IF YOU WIN, YOU
[554]
CAN HAVE A FRIEND, WE'LL GO TO
SPACE ON ONE OF OUR EARLY
[559]
FLIGHTS, AND I WILL TAKE YOU
AROUND THE SPACEPORT, I WILL DO,
[562]
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE CHOCOLATE
FACTORY WALKABOUTS, I'LL PUT ON
[567]
ALL THE GEAR, AND THEN THE
$10 WILL AMOUNT UP AND,
[574]
HOPEFULLY, IF ENOUGH PEOPLE
ENTER, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE
[577]
CHARITABLE FOUNDATION FIND, YOU
KNOW, MANY, MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN
[580]
ACTUALLY GO TO SPACE FOR
NOTHING.
[583]
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS
SOMETHING WHICH COULD REALLY
[586]
EXCITING IN THE YEARS TO COME.
[588]
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU THINK
THE VALUE OF THAT IS FOR PEOPLE
[590]
WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO GO TO SPACE?
[593]
I DON'T MEAN TO BE FACETIOUS.
[597]
WHAT IS THE MENTAL,
INTELLECTUAL, SPIRITUAL VALUE OF
[601]
HAVING GONE?
[603]
>> THERE'S A WONDERFUL VIEW OF
THE OVERVIEW EFFECT -- THERE'S
[606]
ONLY 500 PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVER
BEEN TO SPACE, BUT IT'S A BOOK
[610]
THAT'S INTERVIEWED THOSE 500
PEOPLE.
[613]
THEY'VE COME BACK, I THINK,
SLIGHTLY CHANGED.
[615]
YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THIS EARTH AND
THINK THAT -- YOU SEE THE BEAUTY
[622]
OF IT FROM SPACE AND I THINK ALL
OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE COME BACK,
[626]
YOU KNOW, REALLY WANTING TO
IMPROVE IT, AND THAT'S WHAT I
[629]
HOPE WILL HAPPEN WITH THESE
OTHER PEOPLE WHO GO GO.
[632]
>> Stephen: WELL, RICHARD, HOT
JETS AND SAFE LANDINGS.
[637]
THANKS.
[638]
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[639]
>> Stephen: YOU CAN ENTER TO
WIN A TRIP TO SPACE WITH VIRGIN
[640]
GALACTIC ON OMAZE omaze.com.
