-- -- well connected tech -- I'm Arthel -- good to see you on this Thursday.

So we have been asking throughout the show what we're so that the worst social media experiences you've ever had -- a chat about the satellite carried you right now.

From JDA points.

My worst social media experience ever with my FaceBook account it took two weeks to set up.

It took two weeks instead have been based but -- the account because people complained about the quote -- ten.

I don't know -- -- in your face but let I don't know maybe when it change your content who knows but they can brief comment to -- Jack nonetheless so.

U2 plane pilots out there roaming the edge of space while conducting important -- as reconnaissance.

Can now eat tasty treats in flight.

Inflight thanks to innovation of Natick -- -- some art for these delete their elite US air force and NASA pilots -- Check this out entire.

Alison berries here let me just finish is -- so here's the of the set up an entire meal right like they -- and hash browns.

Yeah I've contained in -- that looks like a toothpaste to really Allison very typical different.

Defense specialist war games columnist -- is -- com you think it's typical to have this food attitude -- Let me -- you probably tell you do reverend Willie Wonka the girl with the -- the blueberry gown that was like a whole meal -- It's not all three courses like Willy Wonka style and it's a little bit bigger than -- Are nutritious as well but I just -- -- this because these guys that are really elite highly AR.

Both spent a fellow -- at -- some -- -- have clocked up over a thousand hours these planes and well.

Not I mean not to -- normal planes with his plans are pretty difficult this this thing is called the -- the UTU found it affectionately.

-- it's also called dragon lady sometimes.

Sounds -- -- tell me a little bit more about these -- -- and understand.

But conditions and what they're doing -- how great -- are -- we'll get into that pitted yet so they're very high altitude reconnaissance planes and you know I think our viewers probably know I'm actually decided with skunk works and I think that we our viewers can see now.

I've got brought them some very special -- getting to see the point of view of a pilot -- my these planes.

It's such -- national treasure this has -- its its roots date back to pre Cold War.

When government officials got a little bit concerned when Russia unveiled both the bomb -- hydrogen bomb and this bomber.

That the very dramatically flew ever the Red Square called the hammer and so.

They ask on quirks.

So we love the shop and it's like the very best American ingenuity still exists today.

They're still doing amazing animation.

Really what we got -- -- rival is what can we do -- they came up with the UT UN.

These days it's it's been over fifty years in service in these days it's about 40%.

Larger I'd say.

The payload.

-- -- -- four times as much that it can carry so.

What would -- carry.

Reconnaissance stuff did ER reconnaissance -- think back to the Cold War we were concerned about the China sent in planes to figure out what's going on over there.

You know they're getting shut down break so that's somebody's wife fly so high -- -- -- on an island to -- 2007000.

-- -- twice as high isn't regular flight data going from.

Your daily.

I love comedy.

Yeah I like how did I figured.

Let me out to bury any music you like Connecticut this in perspective for viewers you does that have army is and that -- the -- -- -- twice as -- -- our viewers a -- in normal commercial aircraft that's more than twice as high so.

We're talking like.

This requires that the super deeper special seats -- seats are so high tech.

Arab viewers are probably familiar with what accidents where it's kind somewhat to that seeks to technicians to put it on.

It got -- our viewers got to see.

Exactly what it looks like so you're up there sometimes -- -- going to be twelve hours -- Yeah that's on tied -- to everybody in the and they are very skilled in the league and very in very necessary right so tell us a little bit more about these two -- So into the -- these teams.

For about as long as -- -- existed.

If you directorate has been treating food for them and and last couple years I think our viewers are getting a chance to CD the inside of the -- it's.

Each cute making these are some teeth he's teams that have something much parts used in toothpaste.

They take say like an apple pie a -- decent hash browns and baking and take a whole meal and they put it into -- team.

The -- -- about a hundred to 300 calories.

That about three years ago an air forces like let's try to revamp this and super cool they weren't really top chef I don't know if you have any top chef and -- like -- -- it.

It brilliantly -- hardcore types of stuff what it takes to -- taking seats in the components how do you take a meal when you stroke it's at pace straight.

And they work really hard and getting the flavor profile great.

And use it doesn't just -- -- food texture and things like that.

Even like Mac and cheese with truffle oil now which is good -- if that's but is there -- -- -- absolutely absolutely so they have this pace they're able to maintain the nutrition value -- that's very important exactly proteins in the various things the calories that you do need -- -- -- -- sugars and -- -- -- -- your -- needs -- Function.

For extended periods periods of time exactly it has a lot of research that goes into the nutrition component not just -- compliant and I'm glad they're worrying about the -- -- he can noisy advocates you know and they deserve and like the kind of touched on earlier it's kind of affectionately -- -- affectionately -- the dragon only because.

You know it's very it's so hard core it's very intolerant.

I'm not a pilot from what -- hear from about very intolerant of any sort of incompetence.

Or and this from lack of experience.

For error and know where exactly it's very difficult to Landon.

Take off and then -- just endurance and you know that's an -- so.

A lot of answers goes into you how to keep them as alert as possible.

You know I guess -- -- Kathy news talk of putting which I understand is very popular I think it's -- -- we might want to try.

You think.

Actually -- that -- reserve battery hours that we're inside.

You know I am really admire this program in you know I think it's it's kind of fun way but it's not agree -- to point out people it's -- it was -- around.

-- kept getting stopped in elevators definitely.

It's -- really awesome behind the scenes but -- for people who are interested in.

How exactly this works and they had some pretty equal exclusive video -- there but you know I check out but I think this is -- getting the scene sister how exactly these achieve this -- -- an attitude and -- -- did.

It's a big big big before lead before we go they take X number two with them before they say oh it's like it's you say you know -- -- after you fly first -- I've.

Only not the -- finally I had and I think I -- Scott and then leave England tonight and in against ordering -- band's legacy of their favorites and stuff.
