Thank you. You are too kind. I do not deserve a welcome that nice. The last time I got that much applause I was hosting a Banu award show in Yulin. Every time I read a name it got a standing ovation. Have you ever seen a whole crowd of Banu cheer for something? I still have no idea who actually won.\n\n[ Laughter ]\n\nTo say that the Banu like celebrating is such an understatement, it\u2019s like saying my mom just \u2018likes\u2019 her flatcats \u2026 All eight of them. She says they\u2019re like her children, which if you think about it, says a lot about me. For the first twelve years of my life, I thought it was completely normal for the rugs in your house to try and run away from you. Even now, if I ever come home and there\u2019s a towel on the floor, my first instinct is to get it a bowl of food.\n\n[ Laughter ]\n\nSpeaking of food winding up on the floor, we have got to talk about this most recent mess that Imperator Costigan made, specifically on Emperor Kr.\u0113\u2019s robes. Have you seen this clip? Absolutely amazing. To set the scene, there was a fancy trade diplomacy gala in Yahti two days ago, and Costigan, dressed to the nines, is sitting at the head table surrounded by all of the most important Xi\u2019An. At some point during the meal, Costigan reaches out for something to drink and our poor Imperator, the elected leader of all of Humanity, accidently takes a sip from his neighbor\u2019s glass of surluk.\n\n[ Disgusted Groans ]\n\nExactly. One little taste, and Costigan was \u2014 how do I put this tactfully? Let\u2019s just say that he was helpfully providing all the Xi\u2019An at the table a firsthand demonstration of rapid reverse Human digestion.\n\n[ Laughter ]\n\nFortunately, Emperor Kr.\u0113 was very gracious about it and despite Costigan\u2019s best efforts, there won\u2019t be a new cold war. And when you think about it, it\u2019s not too surprising that the Xi\u2019An weren\u2019t too bothered by the whole thing considering what surluk tastes like. Have any of you ever tried surluk? Anyone? Hands up? No? Not a single person? Smart. It\u2019s instincts like that, that have kept the Human race alive this long. I, however, am not so lucky. Tried surluk once on a dare while I was still in school. I would describe it as a cross between licking the floor of a bathroom in Spider and that limited edition holiday spice-flavored Pips.\n\n[ Laughter ]\n\nIn other news, have you heard about the museum in Croshaw that got robbed by a gang composed entirely of suspects over one hundred and fifty years old? Reporters have started calling it the \u2018heist of the sesquicentenary.\u2019 Amongst the items taken was the original rover used to first explore the surface of Angeli. Current theory is that the suspects were trying to find their craft after they forgot where they\u2019d parked. To add insult to injury, local authorities pointed out that the criminals most likely got a 15% senior discount on everything they took.\n\n[ Laughter ]\n\nAll right, we have got an simply fantastic show for you coming up. Director Adam Locke is here to discuss his new horror vid Alone We Are. Xenozoologist Michala Doso will be bringing by her newest collection of creepy crawlies that I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll pressure me into touching. And musical guest The Leedos will be making their first, and knowing the network\u2019s censors, potentially last appearance on SET.\n\nBut first up, it is a real personal thrill for me to introduce the next guest. Please join me in welcoming Roberts Space Industries\u2019 lead ship designer, Jules Parliegh.\n\n[ Applause ]\n\nThank you so much for being here.\n\nJules: It\u2019s great to be on the show.\n\nFirst off, let me just say that the \u201934 Constellation Phoenix is one of my favorite ships of all time. The sweeping lines of the interior and the way that they melded with the hull to create something greater than the whole is just incredible.\n\nJules: Wow. Thanks.\n\nTotal gearhead over here. For those of you who don\u2019t know, that classic Connie was Jules\u2019 first project as a ship designer, right?\n\nJules: Yeah, that\u2019s right. I had been working as an assistant designer for a few years, but the \u201934 Phoenix was the first project where I was put in a position to really have the chance to screw up. Which, when your choices have to stand on their own, makes a huge difference.\n\nSort of like how playing trigger is a lot more fun when you have a few credits riding on it.\n\nJules: Exactly. And the Constellation was the perfect place to dive into the deep end. The lead project designer, Kali May, had already gave us a fantastic palette to work with in the Aquila, so it made my job a lot easier when it came to creating the Phoenix. As a young designer, it helped to be limited by those boundaries. I\u2019ve always found it easier to be creative inside a box.\n\nSpeaking of boxes, I have to ask, I heard that you and interior decorator Patrice Wintle got into a bit of a fight over the position of the bed?\n\nJules: ( laughing ) I\u2019m not sure I would call it a fight \u2026 but yeah, when you get very passionate, creative people together, sometimes differences of opinion will appear. We couldn\u2019t agree on which way the bed should face and went back and forth for a while on it till we eventually built mock-ups of both and had people sleep in them.\n\nAnd who was right?\n\nJules: I honestly don\u2019t remember. What ended up happening is that we realized that the bathroom placement was all wrong once we had people actually using the space. It was just in time too; reworking the plumbing almost put us past the deadline. After that, the bed placement just sorted itself.\n\nI think that means Wintle was right.\n\n[ Laughter ]\n\nSo your most recent project, you\u2019ve been working on RSI\u2019s new corvette, right?\n\nJules: Yes. I was fortunate enough to be selected as the lead designer for the Polaris. Largest ship I\u2019ve had a chance to work on yet. Well over a hundred meters.\n\nWhat\u2019s it like working on that scale?\n\nJules: It complicates everything. The weight distribution, hull stresses, power ratios. Every ten meters you add, it adds significantly more problems, but at the end of the day, good design is good design no matter the scale. Probably the bigger difference for me on this project has been working on a more combat focused ship. It has been fascinating to consult not only with Navy personnel, but also smaller militia units. More and more of these capital ships are being used by planetary defense forces, so we\u2019ve been trying to meet their needs as well.\n\nAnd there\u2019s a difference?\n\nJules: Definitely.\n\nCan you give an example?\n\nJules: The Navy is a lot more willing to deal with complications if it means they have more \u2018operational flexibility,\u2019 while militia units typically want simplified dependability since they have less resources. The flooring comes to mind. We had this new technique we were looking at that could possibly save on the overall fabrication weight by adding these channels to the floor. Our Navy consultants loved the idea, the militia consultants were worried about how they were going to easily clean them if someone spilled something. It\u2019s been an absolutely fantastic creative challenge trying to strike a balance.\n\nAll right, from the frantic waving of my producer, I think we have to take a quick break. We are definitely going to hear more from lead RSI designer Jules Parliegh when we get back and unveil an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the 2947 Polaris shipyards. Don\u2019t go away.\n\n[ Music ]","de_DE":"[ Musik]\n\nAnsager: Die anderen Tage der Woche m\u00f6gen langweilig und langweilig sein, aber gib die Hoffnung noch nicht auf, es gibt immer etwas jeden Dienstag mit deinem Gastgeber, Esen Landari!\n\n[ Applaus]\n\nIch danke dir! Ich danke dir. Ihr seid zu freundlich. Ich verdiene keinen so sch\u00f6nen Empfang. Das letzte Mal, als ich so viel Applaus bekam, moderierte ich eine Banu Award Show in Yulin. Jedes Mal, wenn ich einen Namen lese, bekam er stehende Ovationen. Hast du jemals eine ganze Menge Banu gesehen, die wegen etwas jubelt? Ich habe immer noch keine Ahnung, wer tats\u00e4chlich gewonnen hat.\n\n[ Lachen]\n\nZu sagen, dass das Banu gerne feiert, ist so eine Untertreibung, es ist, als w\u00fcrde man sagen, dass meine Mutter ihre Plattkatzen einfach \"mag\".... Alle acht von ihnen. Sie sagt, sie sind wie ihre Kinder, was, wenn man dar\u00fcber nachdenkt, viel \u00fcber mich aussagt. In den ersten zw\u00f6lf Jahren meines Lebens dachte ich, es sei v\u00f6llig normal, dass die Teppiche in deinem Haus versuchen, vor dir wegzulaufen. Selbst jetzt, wenn ich jemals nach Hause komme und ein Handtuch auf dem Boden liegt, ist mein erster Instinkt, ihm eine Sch\u00fcssel Essen zu besorgen.\n\n[ Lachen]\n\nApropos Essen, das auf dem Boden landet, m\u00fcssen wir \u00fcber dieses j\u00fcngste Durcheinander sprechen, das Imperator Costigan angerichtet hat, insbesondere \u00fcber die Gew\u00e4nder von Kaiser Kr.\u0113. Hast du diesen Clip gesehen? Absolut erstaunlich. Um den Rahmen zu schaffen, fand vor zwei Tagen in Yahti eine Gala der ausgefallenen Handelsdiplomatie statt, und Costigan, auf den Neunen gekleidet, sitzt am Kopftisch, umgeben von den wichtigsten Xi'An. Irgendwann w\u00e4hrend des Essens greift Costigan nach etwas zu trinken, und unser armer Imperator, der gew\u00e4hlte F\u00fchrer der gesamten Menschheit, nimmt versehentlich einen Schluck aus dem Glas Surluk seines Nachbarn.\n\n[ Ekelhaftes St\u00f6hnen]\n\nGenau. Ein kleiner Geschmack, und Costigan war - wie soll ich das taktvoll formulieren? Sagen wir einfach, dass er hilfreich war, als er allen Xi'An am Tisch eine Demonstration der schnellen umgekehrten menschlichen Verdauung aus erster Hand bot.\n\n[ Lachen]\n\nGl\u00fccklicherweise war Kaiser Kr.\u0113 sehr freundlich und trotz Costigans Bem\u00fchungen wird es keinen neuen Kalten Krieg geben. Und wenn man dar\u00fcber nachdenkt, ist es nicht allzu \u00fcberraschend, dass die Xi'An nicht allzu sehr von der ganzen Sache gest\u00f6rt wurden, wenn man bedenkt, wie Surluk schmeckt. Hat einer von euch schon mal Surluk versucht? Irgendjemand? H\u00e4nde hoch? Nein? Nicht eine einzige Person? Schlau. Es sind solche Instinkte, die die menschliche Rasse so lange am Leben erhalten haben. Ich habe jedoch nicht so viel Gl\u00fcck. Ich habe einmal versucht, bei einer Mutprobe zu surfen, w\u00e4hrend ich noch in der Schule war. Ich w\u00fcrde es als eine Mischung aus dem Lecken des Bodens eines Badezimmers in Spider und diesem limitierten Urlaub mit Gew\u00fcrzaroma beschreiben.\n\n[ Lachen]\n\nIn anderen Nachrichten, haben Sie von dem Museum in Croshaw geh\u00f6rt, das von einer Bande ausgeraubt wurde, die ausschlie\u00dflich aus Verd\u00e4chtigen besteht, die \u00fcber hundertf\u00fcnfzig Jahre alt sind? Reporter nennen es den \"Raub des Jubil\u00e4ums\". Zu den Gegenst\u00e4nden, die mitgenommen wurden, geh\u00f6rte auch der urspr\u00fcngliche Rover, mit dem zuerst die Oberfl\u00e4che von Angeli erkundet wurde. Aktuelle Theorie ist, dass die Verd\u00e4chtigen versuchten, ihr Schiff zu finden, nachdem sie vergessen hatten, wo sie geparkt hatten. Um die Verletzung noch zu beleidigen, wiesen die \u00f6rtlichen Beh\u00f6rden darauf hin, dass die Kriminellen h\u00f6chstwahrscheinlich einen Rabatt von 15% auf alles, was sie einnahmen, erhielten.\n\n[ Lachen]\n\nIn Ordnung, wir haben eine einfach fantastische Show f\u00fcr dich. Direktor Adam Locke ist hier, um \u00fcber sein neues Horrorvideo Allein sind wir. Die Xenozoologin Michala Doso wird mit ihrer neuesten Sammlung von gruseligen Krabbeltieren, die ich sicher bin, dass sie mich dazu zwingen wird, sie zu ber\u00fchren. Und der musikalische Gast The Leedos wird zum ersten Mal dabei sein und die Zensoren des Netzwerks kennen, m\u00f6glicherweise das letzte Mal auf SET.\n\nAber zuerst ist es f\u00fcr mich ein ganz pers\u00f6nlicher Nervenkitzel, den n\u00e4chsten Gast vorzustellen. Bitte begr\u00fc\u00dfen Sie mit mir den leitenden Schiffsdesigner von Roberts Space Industries, Jules Parliegh.\n\n[ Applaus]\n\nVielen Dank, dass du hier bist.\n\nJules: Es ist toll, in der Show zu sein.\n\nZun\u00e4chst m\u00f6chte ich nur sagen, dass die 34er Sternbild Phoenix eines meiner Lieblingsschiffe aller Zeiten ist. Die geschwungenen Linien des Innenraums und die Art und Weise, wie sie mit dem Rumpf verschmolzen sind, um etwas Gr\u00f6\u00dferes als das Ganze zu schaffen, sind einfach unglaublich.\n\nJules: Wow. Danke.\n\nDas gesamte Getriebe hier dr\u00fcben. F\u00fcr diejenigen unter euch, die es nicht wissen, war diese klassische Connie Jules' erstes Projekt als Schiffsdesigner, richtig?\n\nJules: Ja, das ist richtig. Ich hatte einige Jahre als Assistentin des Designers gearbeitet, aber der 34er Phoenix war das erste Projekt, bei dem ich in die Lage versetzt wurde, wirklich die Chance zu haben, es zu vermasseln. Was, wenn deine Entscheidungen auf sich allein gestellt sein m\u00fcssen, einen gro\u00dfen Unterschied macht.\n\nEine Art von wie, wie das Spielen von Triggern viel mehr Spa\u00df macht, wenn man ein paar Credits darauf hat.\n\nJules: Genau. Und die Constellation war der perfekte Ort, um ins tiefe Ende zu tauchen. Der leitende Projektdesigner Kali May hatte uns bereits eine fantastische Palette zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt, mit der wir im Aquila arbeiten konnten, was mir die Arbeit bei der Erstellung des Phoenix erheblich erleichtert hat. Als junger Designer half er, durch diese Grenzen begrenzt zu sein. Ich fand es immer einfacher, in einer Box kreativ zu sein.\n\nApropos Kisten, muss ich fragen, ich habe geh\u00f6rt, dass du und der Innenarchitekt Patrice Wintle in einen kleinen Streit um die Position des Bettes geraten seid?\n\nJules: (lacht) Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich es einen Kampf nennen w\u00fcrde.... aber ja, wenn man sehr leidenschaftliche, kreative Menschen zusammenbringt, werden manchmal Meinungsverschiedenheiten auftreten. Wir konnten uns nicht einigen, in welche Richtung das Bett schauen sollte und gingen eine Weile hin und her, bis wir schlie\u00dflich Modelle von beiden bauten und die Leute in ihnen schlafen lie\u00dfen.\n\nUnd wer hatte Recht?\n\nJules: Ich erinnere mich wirklich nicht. Was oben geschah, ist, dass wir feststellten, dass die Badezimmerplatzierung ganz falsch war, sobald wir Leute hatten, die wirklich den Raum benutzen. Es war auch gerade noch rechtzeitig; die \u00dcberarbeitung der Sanit\u00e4ranlagen hat uns fast \u00fcber die Frist hinausgebracht. Danach sortierte sich die Bettaufstellung von selbst.\n\nIch denke, das bedeutet, dass Wintle Recht hatte.\n\n[ Lachen]\n\nIhr j\u00fcngstes Projekt, Sie haben also an der neuen Korvette von RSI gearbeitet, richtig?\n\nJules: Ja. Ich hatte das Gl\u00fcck, als Lead-Designer f\u00fcr die Polaris ausgew\u00e4hlt zu werden. Das gr\u00f6\u00dfte Schiff, an dem ich je arbeiten durfte. Weit \u00fcber hundert Meter.\n\nWie ist es, in dieser Gr\u00f6\u00dfenordnung zu arbeiten?\n\nJules: Es verkompliziert alles. Die Gewichtsverteilung, Rumpfspannungen, Leistungsverh\u00e4ltnisse. Alle zehn Meter, die Sie hinzuf\u00fcgen, f\u00fcgt es deutlich mehr Probleme hinzu, aber am Ende des Tages ist gutes Design gutes Design, egal in welcher Gr\u00f6\u00dfenordnung. Wahrscheinlich war der gr\u00f6\u00dfere Unterschied f\u00fcr mich bei diesem Projekt die Arbeit an einem st\u00e4rker kampforientierten Schiff. Es war faszinierend, nicht nur mit Navy-Personal, sondern auch mit kleineren Miliz-Einheiten zu sprechen. Immer mehr dieser Gro\u00dfschiffe werden von planetarischen Verteidigungskr\u00e4ften eingesetzt, also haben wir versucht, auch ihre Bed\u00fcrfnisse zu erf\u00fcllen.\n\nUnd es gibt einen Unterschied?\n\nJules: Auf jeden Fall.\n\nK\u00f6nnen Sie ein Beispiel nennen?\n\nJules: Die Marine ist viel eher bereit, mit Komplikationen umzugehen, wenn sie mehr \"operative Flexibilit\u00e4t\" hat, w\u00e4hrend Miliz-Einheiten typischerweise eine vereinfachte Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit wollen, da sie \u00fcber weniger Ressourcen verf\u00fcgen. Der Bodenbelag kommt mir in den Sinn. Wir hatten diese neue Technik, die wir untersuchten, die m\u00f6glicherweise das gesamte Fertigungsgewicht einsparen k\u00f6nnte, indem sie diese Kan\u00e4le auf dem Boden anbringt. Unsere Navy-Berater liebten die Idee, die Miliz-Berater waren besorgt dar\u00fcber, wie sie sie leicht reinigen w\u00fcrden, wenn jemand etwas versch\u00fcttet h\u00e4tte. Es war eine absolut fantastische kreative Herausforderung, um ein Gleichgewicht zu finden.\n\nAlles klar, von dem hektischen Winken meines Produzenten, denke ich, dass wir eine kurze Pause einlegen m\u00fcssen. Wir werden definitiv mehr von dem f\u00fchrenden RSI-Designer Jules Parliegh h\u00f6ren, wenn wir zur\u00fcckkommen und einen exklusiven Blick hinter die Kulissen der 2947 Polaris-Werften werfen. Geh nicht weg.\n\n[ Musik]","zh_CN":"[ Music ]\n\nAnnouncer: The other days of the week may be dull and boring, but don\u2019t give up hope yet, there\u2019s always Something Every Tuesday with your host, Esen Landari!\n\n[ Applause ]\n\nThank you!
