i would scott you know so you have one for me and one of the things he said was you know this terrible accident of apollo one could have been avoided by corporations because exactly the same mistake had been made by the russians that's why they lost the first cosmonauts if only there had been little bit of communication the funny someone who said. use. in the capsule those deaths could have been avoided so in retrospect yes i think corporation would have helped as well. thank you thank you dr brian marion astronomy editor in chief speaking to that of the science museum in london the mission moving three d. reliving the great space race is available now at all good bookstores join us on monday when britain tries to post a budget and social media will be back on monday two thousand five hundred fifty seven years to the day the rooms conquest of the sponsorship of the jewish ritual.
12:31 am
we have leaving. all this. way all bring. more technology technology so that.
12:32 am
well. this is the pat on the land. five years ago it was all grass. like that over there now we have this this pumper going day in day out we didn't have any choice really we could have put it over that way or ways i mean we could have moved it a little bit. but we have to let the people who own the mineral rights get to those minorities and they compensated us for what they took here but the company built it and we have it now for own next forty years i'm guessing i don't own. my house up there i'm there we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at brings in a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the
12:33 am
money i made off of it is. going to happen. someday. you know on oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i said it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes be out of mind for sure. have nothing to say about where. well i should say they have nothing to say you can
12:34 am
suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't mean you have no legal say in it put it so they can put a wherever they want they don't need any your permission foreign oil industry follows a proper practices i don't think will have a problem but there's always that if me if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live our air in rural areas most of us depend on wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our old so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. i was wrong a fraction john that's where they pump the sand the fluid and the other chemicals they use as it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped
12:35 am
out that off in a ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism of any kind it kills it because one of our guy has. got some of it on his hands and light and i disturb just won't his hand will buy it because that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is it's is wrong in the water. for his fruit is as is and nobody drinks the water out of the father from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just it's just like you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night isn't this it is pretty nasty when we're fracking no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an a mistake and you. drop one cup you have to clean it up and take it away with you
12:36 am
it's not polluting north dakota the air is clean the water is clean. this is privately own land this is not government land and in less the environmental protection agency fines scientific proof that there is real pollution going on they won't be able to shut this down. and so far there is no proof. there is just. propaganda. is it possible to respect safety measures tracking. down how deep it is advocating this notion and it attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely. the question is me raised to address the intention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice of hydraulic fracking to be as large quantities of drinking water.
12:37 am
can young is the owner of eclipse services a company of the facilitates the shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and provides water storage and it's huge tanks as well. these things are used to hold water for the fracking. thirty five thousand barrels and so they'll pump water from one to the other until eventually it's pumped over to the frac and down the hole. it's fresh water all that water thrown in here is coming out of the city water line so it's all clean water. you know that's been millions of dollars on water for one frac is one of the biggest expenses one of these wells the fresh. one the water after the frac they just log back out of the ground and they all went off to a disposal facility. right here. it's called
12:38 am
a flare natural gas comes up with the oil and so they have to get rid of it so they just burn it off right here the oil comes out of the pump jacks goes underground to the treaters and there it separates the oil the water in the guess this site your produces more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to come in with a truck intricate out take it to disposal facilities. keep their lives sixty miles out of the list in a fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely and accounts for one quarter north dakota's production. this oil field isn't all that good for everybody we have secured land here we have virgin land here and now there's oil roads and oil fields. at night some of these trucks to drive along
12:39 am
gravel roads and they don't poison. rocking water it's all water the all the things into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that is going into our river going into our creeks with went into our stock pond. this is not in the water but it is they're not telling the truth. i have twenty nine grandchildren i want them to enjoy this river where i do don't want them to walk in the water one can to catch a fish you can eat no one to grow a garden and to do and have to worry about poison in the planet i want to have plants with their medicine it's not deformed now because of the things that are in this water. oil workers are best suited to judge the eventual pollution is caused by fracking. unfortunately this. problem is not
12:40 am
a priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of work. during the drilling phase radioactive debris brought back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and did not hesitate to suppose of these toxic materials into wild dumps . especially teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment so it's. in north dakota no one with an oil rich piece of land will tell you that fracking could be an environmental hazard. doing so could jeopardize one of the best ways to get rich quick. of course all beautiful stories have been in rhetoric christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil put it in and the moment of euphoria saw the us rise in the
12:41 am
first producers of crude oil based the shale. we can feel the concern brought by the price cut everywhere and will is to now shows the science of a boom town going bust. people in this town are very very suspicious of oil booms because that almost always comes with a large bust and the bust to be rather difficult and now that i'm a part of this town i'm a little bit worried because we're seeing gas prices start to drop down and i'm wondering what's going to happen to my business because we have a message here. january two thousand and fifteen the price per barrel fell below the crucial fifty dollars mark. in this little town here west and is a major major reason why the price of oil around the world is coming down because the opec countries saudi arabia leading them. they're out there they're very scared
12:42 am
by the. developments in hydraulic fracturing they know that the united states the past five years went from importing something like sixty percent of the oil that we use down to thirty percent and that is a direct result of the hydraulic fracturing that's taken place like here and williston in the bach and in other areas they want to put these companies out of business. even if circumstances are worrisome these days i fear that he has not stopped after ten thousand wells we still need to extract the millions of barrels lying beneath the bakken. this situation brings happiness to the ones for him for serious companies but it is devastating to the oil workers who are no longer needed they are thrown out into the streets without pity they must decide whether to go back home or stay liston looking for new jobs. in february twenty fifteen want one of my coworkers i work with he calmly and he said manages late everybody
12:43 am
oh. he's in and told everybody to go to a room get all a stove and get out and this will two o'clock in the morning at night in february in the winter. a man can say emptied out enclosed from one day to the next. these dilapidated barracks will probably pollute the landscape for eight years to come. construction sites for abandoned by the dozen and left to rest and. housing construction began at the peak of the realest boom is now. nearly complete
12:44 am
. occupied in part by survivors of the neighborhood seems sadly empty. here and with the downturn in the economy. boil prices. i can still raise more money than i care back home. just. not as much they're used to it. i consider myself fortunate because i still have a job just talk no friend just yesterday he got laid off so he's got to go back to louisiana to find find work. because there are not too many people are in your.
12:45 am
trunk has been coming up with a lot of statements saying that the arab states of the gulf should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so there's there's a lot of incoherence there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think trump understandings that and this is this is exactly what was driving is kind of a commentary on the. killing i think that's the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america's polls because of you the. start to bomb a really was very european and his approach would be very well suited is an m.e.p. in brussels for example is that doesn't represent america is america for better or worse and i think what we're trying to do here is to let the world see what we're all about here. it's
12:46 am
hard. but i'm. i made them good money and i'm the bills off me both to help my children out and. my children are very poor. just something that has to be do. you know that it's just like this job to you know two nights ago i wanted to go home i was tired. but. the roof high twinks we had to hold the water otherwise that the well shut down and.
12:47 am
people get upset so. you do what you have to do. in the oil. adults has slowed down but still steady and you know just well doing three jobs every day of the week. said the donors shabd it's work about sixty eight hours. in the day for the guy doing construction maybe five or six. and this he's now working out three or four making the sandwiches and.
12:48 am
i write this place down for only three hundred fifty dollars a month he has the whole downstairs to himself. which is a little bit messy. he had to leave california because there's no jobs why is there no jobs there's too many mexicans to do the job i was doing for half the price and you know how many donuts oh. wow.
12:49 am
i've done more for. big orders twenty four dozen. men encouraging out of to save some money. so that he can move his family here and put a deposit first and last month's rent on an apartment is a good father he misses a little girl. missing. but we did so. when oil reached twenty nine dollars a barrel we weren't doing anything march was a bad month but now it's suddenly picked up to forty dollars a barrel and we're busy again the companies have done so much cost cutting and efficiency that if the price goes to fifty it will be like it used to be eighty.
12:50 am
the rig counts the number of rigs drilling new holes in the ground has gone way down from over two hundred to i think thirty five rigs active in the block and. as time goes on without new wells being drilled and frats our one point one million barrels a day will go down naturally slowly in some point in the two to five years there will be a supply and demand reversal whereas now we're oversupplied will be under supplied and the price will shoot up. between now and then it will go like this and at some point it will go up. and if the price go ever goes to one hundred and it will someday. north dakota will be crawling with workers looking for housing and there will be a huge labor shortage the companies will be throwing money at us. so.
12:51 am
now we're mostly working for folks who have oil rigs oil pumps on their land and they have those monthly checks coming in from the old companies and they're spending money on their homes. or lot of people have disappeared out here who gone back home i guess i know some are gone back to bozeman big sky area because constructions doing ok there some went back to minneapolis some to idaho but yeah a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore they're all gone just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off so couldn't put in the hours a lot of families to a lot of guys in the oil business the higher ups the guys making more money they've gone to south america in the middle east so they'll be back i guess some day but.
12:52 am
so that's the whole process. sort of her cleaning the litter. i could buy a house and i did i could stay in a very nice apartment but i don't need it and i have very low overhead and i like it that way and i don't have a lot of needs. and this is. this was a born garage and there was a snow storm and heavy snow storm about three years ago i suppose and the snow load on the roof caused the roof to collapse so. so anyway it's kind of an open air garage and. i. have a hose hooked up in there and i watch i'm good. thanks
12:53 am
. to the oil industry has changed dramatically and i don't like to see that i see companies going out of business and people being fired and laid off and loading up a u.-haul trailers and heading out of town and it's sad. it hasn't really affected me because. we service the infrastructure that has been built and once that infrastructure is built it still needs to be maintained i'm very thankful for that. here.
12:54 am
so tonight we'll. do. one of the last minute rush. but it's nice to have the company and i actually enjoy . as i said before i've you're really outside of. the former girlfriend came all the times oh you're like the only visitors that i've had here. in the over forty years that i've been and will most. used to be are are or who are interested in girls. that like politics i've come to realize well politics is a scam girls are just problems. so
12:55 am
i stay away from both. this gas station over here we used to deliver to them. three four dozen donuts last week they quit the order altogether because nobody was coming in to i don't so. it was one more. it's always get this one and keep on going around the corner.

because you're going to go on how to get the best that. you should frank de sac. cindy the owner of the or the manager of the store there. her business is down so far that she's had to. take on a second job now so she souls cosmetics to women here in the oil field. we gave her a lot to come up here but we thought it was going to be best for our family we thought the oil boom would be here for at least another fifteen years and that we would be able to. be able to make enough money to pay for our kids to go to college . the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and. it's
12:57 am
a tough reality and new york. is still a boom will come back if it does it'll be much much more shallow a growth curve. and won't be nearly as. much money and. i'm not. going to try optimist.
12:58 am
i think it's going to come back. from.
12:59 am
