wild fires Some of the kids had

1:19

lost their homes. To Fires. These

1:21

kids had really been through a

1:28

were. And within days of launching

1:30

the hotline blew up on social

1:33

media. You not better than it's

This is a a generation of

1:48

children letter. Saying. That

1:50

no matter what age you are, just

3:33

Finding. Nemo. Would

3:39

speak with. A

3:42

leash his trainer best to communicate. And

3:44

sir, some scientists actually. In

3:47

a first of its kind discovery, a

3:50

group of researchers say they had a

3:52

twenty minute long conversation with the humpback.

3:54

Whale named Twain off the coast

3:57

of Alaska Animal Behavioral Research or

3:59

Josephine. The bird with their and said

4:01

it was quite the eureka moment because she

4:03

says there's a lot we still don't know

4:06

about Wales. It's some sort of connection and

4:08

I think. As human, sometimes

4:10

we. Want that? or

4:12

strive for that. I think

4:14

any advance to better understand

4:16

how we can connect to

4:18

nature is a worthwhile endeavor.

4:20

Hubbard works with a nonprofit

4:22

Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute

4:25

or said He for short,

4:27

the Group School is trying

4:29

to understand how we'll speak.

4:31

To help inform how to potentially

4:33

communicate. With other intelligent creatures that

4:35

aren't human like aliens? perhaps? For

4:38

this experiment, researchers played a recording

4:40

of a humpback greeting call that

4:43

sounded like this. Plane

4:46

the whale approached, the boat, circled

4:48

it and responded. Thirty.

4:51

Six times to be exact Now Hubbard

4:53

said this conversation was mainly just hellos,

4:55

but they're working on having more meaningful

4:58

conversations in the future. Now

5:01

has some high school students cut loose that

5:03

a prom they'll never forget while also giving

5:05

birth to a good cause. You're

5:13

Kevin Bacon Starred in the iconic

5:15

film Footloose and Paramount Pictures which

5:17

was filmed at Peace in High

5:19

School in Utah. The. Forty year

5:21

old movie promenades at prom. So Student

5:23

Body Class President Ruby Raf said it

5:26

only made sense for them to try

5:28

to convince Bacon the come one last

5:30

time for their problem since the schools

5:32

relocating after next year. So this whole

5:35

Sawyer We are deemed as the Footloose

5:37

year. We. The on our whole

5:39

school involved months after the students launched

5:41

the hashtag bacon to Peace. And Social

5:43

Media Campaign. With this.

5:46

Beautiful, beautiful spot on this

5:48

beautiful view. The

5:51

movies are actually showed up and

5:53

complimented their determination. You talk. to

5:55

it you know i think it's great

5:57

to see that kind of commitment to

6:00

He also thanked them for

6:03

creating 5,000 essential resource kits

6:05

for his foundation Six degrees.org

6:07

that'll benefit underserved communities. Later

6:09

that night, Ruby said the Footloose themed prom

6:12

was a night to remember and all the

6:14

hard work throughout the school year was worth

6:16

it. Don't be afraid to dream big and

6:19

to try new things. Coming

6:24

up, imagine cell service on the moon. We'll

6:26

tell you what NASA's up to after a

6:28

quick break. But before we go, can't get

6:30

enough of all this goodness? Well then you've

6:32

got to sign up for CNN's The Good

6:34

Stuff newsletter for a weekly dose of more

6:36

uplifting news and cute animal videos straight to

6:38

your inbox every Saturday. You can find the

6:40

link to sign up in our show notes. We'll

6:43

be right back. What

6:50

if you could text on the moon or

6:52

post an Instagram pic of some craters? Will

6:55

NASA and Nokia teaming up to put a

6:57

4G cell network on the moon? Sanence

7:00

Taylor-Galgano is here. Hey Taylor. Hey.

7:03

So will people be able to binge their

7:05

favorite shows from space now? It's what it

7:08

sounds like. Yeah, so believe it or not,

7:10

that actually is the plan here, Krista. A

7:12

SpaceX rocket is going to bring the network

7:14

to the moon sometime this year. Of course,

7:16

this is key for NASA's Artemis program to

7:18

bring people to the moon again. So this

7:20

way they could easily talk to mission control

7:22

and their families from their phones. Or

7:25

maybe like you said, binge a Netflix show.

7:27

I mean, Taylor, it's 2024. About

7:30

time, if you ask me. I mean,

7:32

hey, I guess so. Listen, they are

7:34

really trying to lay the groundwork here

7:37

to get more humans on other planets.

7:40

And you know what? I should note here, Krista, they also

7:42

want to use this network to get pictures of ice on

7:45

the moon in real time. Now that would be a

7:47

first. And that ice could actually

7:49

be used to create breathable oxygen or

7:51

fuel to go to Mars. All

7:56

right, that's all for now. Join us tomorrow for the

7:58

next edition of One Thing. You'll hear

about one woman's quest to continue her
