stronger. major hurricane. border wall category 4. we are expecting rapid intensification in the next 24 hours which we expect it making landfall around this time around the big bend of florida. so 75 mile-per-hour sustained winds. robert was talking about the water temperatures way above average this time of year in the path of this storm. at least 86 trees. that s the fuel that this storm needs to rapidly intensify. and not a lot of harv winds in the upper level of the 00 moss fear. nothing in its way. rapid intensification. here is your plan in the green areas you are making your plan, paying attention to the forecast. in the yellow area preparing for potential storm impacts including georgia and the carolinas. we are expecting a category 1 hurricane to move through georgia and go plan here finalizing preparations and evacuate going you are told to do. so you want to listen to your local authorities in the next 24 to 48 hours. are seeing outer bands moving approaching the west coa
adventure exploring. adventure tourism? does this put a hold on that? does it end it? does it damage it? well, i think there is a bit of a difference there exploration is just inherently human spirit. testing the limits. going beyond. trying to see what s beyond the next hill. you know, that s progress. that s how we discover new things. the tourism side we have seen the opposite where have you people that try to ascend mount everest who are just not prepared for that but they paid the money. they got the clearance to go ahead and do that and so you find yourself at 28, 2 the thousand feet. very unfit at more moss fear. the tourism piece can indeed go too far. but i don t think it means the end of the industry. i think there will be a lot of self-reflection. this was kind of an outlier event in that this particular submersible was not subject to external review, a certification, other operators do those sorts of things.
when a normal craft comes in like the apollo missions, they re going to move through the moss fear for about a1,500 miles. this increases the range by by 5,000 miles. no matter where you are enter the at myself fear, you can pretty much set down the way you want to. the way they used to do it, you knew the general area of the ocean where you were going to touch down and you put navy ships near there in the ocean. now woor saying come down 50 miles off the coast and you re not going to have to cover the entire ocean. if it works. will it work? this has been simulated, the calculations have been done. it s never actually been done but in terms of everything you can do to make sure it goes right, that has been done.
the book space man nice to see you. you ve been up there a couple times. why can t we say where this 8,000 pounds of junk will hit. it appears to be an uncontrolled entry so you re at the mercy of the density of the atmosphere. as it gets lower in the atmosphere it will slow down and the density of the at moss fear can vary. atmosphere can vary. that will dictate how it comes in. the range will be big a 400-mile range for the pieces that make it through the atmosphere. 10% to 40% will be lost. bill: should we be concern? there s about 70% water. it s about 70% water so the likelihood it will hit land is small and we only live on pieces
