Full title: ‘I Literally Don’t Know a Word You’re Saying’: Anderson Cooper Mystified by Neil deGrasse Tyson During Artemis Crew Recovery

NASA picked up the crew one at a time and flew them via helicopter to a nearby U.S. Navy vessel. During CNN’s coverage of the recovery, Cooper, Tyson, and other guests listened to a NASA live feed explaining what they were seeing via a camera aboard the USS John P. Murtha.

“Big hugs, big hugs from Victor, Christina,” a woman on NASA’s live feed said.

At that point, Tyson jumped in.

“By the way, right now we’re near solar maximum,” he said. “So, the total radiative flux and particle flux of the sun is at an 11-year high. So that’s gotta be part of what this medical understanding is in terms of their exposure to the radiation and their 10 days going around the moon without the protection of Earth’s magnetic blanket.”

“I literally don’t know a word you’re saying,” Cooper replied, to laughs all around.

“He’s saying they got zapped,” former astronaut Mike Massimono chimed in.

“I am not smart enough to understand,” Cooper said.
