L'effet Spangler - Aux confins de l'espace Saison 01 Épisode 14 / Видео / Словарный запас / WordSteps

STEVE SPANGLER: Well, it's happening according to plan.

00:00:01

We're launching our big weather balloon in the middle

00:00:03

of Denver, which is fantastic.

00:00:06

10,000 screaming kids, and the balloon's ready to go up.

00:00:10

10 minutes.

00:00:11

It's going to be good.

00:00:16

I'm Steve Spangler, and I'm all about making science fun.

00:00:19

For the last 20 years, I've been teaching ways to turn

00:00:22

ordinary science experiments into unforgettable learning

00:00:25

experiences.

00:00:26

I have an amazing team who will do whatever it takes to

00:00:29

affect the way people think about science.

00:00:32

And do that, I live by one motto--

00:00:34

"Make it big, do it right, give it class."

00:00:43

STEVE MEER: This is Edge of Space Sciences.

00:00:49

And today's flight is flight number 175.

00:01:17

LARRY NOBLE: OK, we have a PVC nozzle, which has been turned

00:01:20

on a lathe.

00:01:21

It's specially designed.

00:01:23

It fits in the balloon and neck.

00:01:26

So when this bag starts lifting off the ground, we

00:01:29

know we have sufficient helium in the balloon to lift the

00:01:33

entire payload string to the edge of space.

00:01:37

00:01:51

MALE SPEAKER: Are you ready to get started?

00:01:56

All right.

00:01:56

Well, we're going to bring him up right now and introduce to

00:01:58

you Steve Spangler.

00:02:00

[CROWD CHEERING]

00:02:04

STEVE SPANGLER: Welcome, everybody.

00:02:05

You know, meteorologists have the coolest tools nowadays.

00:02:09

They've got all this tracking device and everything else.

00:02:12

But believe it or not, a long time ago, all they had was a

00:02:15

simple balloon.

00:02:16

So here is what a weather balloon looks like.

00:02:20

Kids, you want one of these for your birthday.

00:02:22

Just ask mom and dad, all right?

00:02:24

[CHEERING]

00:02:25

STEVE SPANGLER: Say, mom and dad, can I please have a

00:02:27

weather balloon and about $500 of helium?

00:02:30

It'll be awesome, right?

00:02:32

The mere fact that I just unrolled this means that they

00:02:35

probably can't launch this.

00:02:36

We'll only use it for teaching purposes, because that balloon

00:02:39

is so delicate.

00:02:40

I told you early on that we partnered up with Edge of

00:02:43

Space Science.

00:02:45

Kathy is on the field right now with our team from Edge of

00:02:47

Space Science.
