Scientist Gregg Braden is back on Know Thyself today for a deeper dive into the inherent beauty of humanity and the technology that threatens it. Pulling on the threads of our last conversations, Gregg opens up about the current state of the world: from transhumanism to artificial intelligence, giving a warning message about these innovations. He provides a reframe on what we've been told about human potential: revealing that we are far greater than we know and these technologies threaten that very greatness. Our discussion encompasses a range of critical topics, including the ongoing struggle between good and evil on Earth, the pivotal Year 2030, and the Future of Humanity. Furthermore, Gregg draws intriguing parallels to popular culture, exploring how films like "The Matrix" serve as allegories for deeper truths about our reality, prompting us to question the nature of existence itself.

Join us on a journey of discovery with Lieutenant Colonel Matt Lohmeier, a former Space Force member, as we traverse the intricate pathways from the inception of the United States Air Force Academy to the birth of the Space Force. Our esteemed guest shares his dynamic switch from fighter pilot to a key player in the transformation of the Air Force Space Command, illuminating the specific roles and exceptional responsibilities that distinguish the Space Force from its predecessors. We examine the structural fabric of military leadership in space and consider the implications of having a dedicated military branch to safeguard our extraterrestrial frontiers.The discourse takes a sharp turn as Colonel Lohmeier reveals his experiences with political bias and the stifling of diverse viewpoints within the military culture. As he recounts his perspective on the prevailing political ideologies during the Trump administration and the burgeoning of 'woke', we confront the precarious balance between military discipline and the liberty to scrutinize political narratives. We uncover the subtle infiltration of political correctness within the ranks, raising pivotal questions about the implications for freedom of thought among service members.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sure. It's easy to simply pin Russia's announcement that it is quitting the International Space Station as a natural result of President Vladamir Putin's unprovoked war in Ukraine. Yet, Russia's reduced space industrial base, Putin's ambitions, and a series of sackings and demotions illustrate a more complicated political and security picture in the space domain. To read the tea leaves, Laura Winter speaks with the head of the Rand Corporation's Space Enterprise Initiative, retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Bruce McClintock, a former U.S. Defense Attaché to Russia, who was also a special assistant to the commander of Air Force Space Command; Jan Osburg, a RAND Corporation senior aerospace engineer, with experience in designing inhabited space systems; and Christopher Stone who is a senior fellow for space studies at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, and the author of “Reversing the Tao: A Framework for Credible Space Deterrence”.
The impressively humble General Kevin Patrick ‘Chili' Chilton joins the show today to share his 34-½ years of experience in the Air Force as well as the successful transition he then navigated into corporate America. A note to those who have not served in the Armed Forces: I will be referring to our guest as either General or by his call sign of ‘Chili' out of respect for his rank and his service to our country. Here is the full Part 1 interview: https://cxoconversations.libsyn.com/encore-general-kevin-patrick-chilly-chilton-on-preparing-tomorrows-leadership-building-strong-teams-and-flying-nice-birds ABOUT OUR GUEST General Kevin Patrick ‘Chili' Chilton graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and has flown pretty much every aircraft in the Air Force inventory including the RF4, F15, U2, and the B52. He attended test-pilot school, served around the world and was selected as an astronaut that included three shuttle missions. He was also the Deputy Program Manager of Operations for the International Space Station. He then returned to the Air Force for key postings such as the Commander of the Ninth Recon Wing, Commander of the Eighth Air Force, and Commander of the Air Force Space Command and the United States Strategic Command. He is currently the only astronaut to obtain the rank of 4-star General. Chili has served on boards of the Anadarko, Orbital, Aerospace Corporation and both level three and post-merger with Lumen today as well as with Aerojet Rocketdyne.
Episode 71 – Space as a Warfighting Domain: Discussion with Gen (ret) Kevin Chilton Episode Summary: In Episode 71 of the Aerospace Advantage, Space as a Warfighting Domain: Discussion with Gen (ret) Kevin Chilton, host John "Slick" Baum speaks with Mitchell Institute's Gen Kevin Chilton, USAF (ret) about the realities of modern military operations in space. While the U.S. did not instigate or favor turning space into a warfighting domain, our adversaries pressed in that direction. We must now respond. This means developing a range of terrestrial and space-based defensive and offensive options to deter and, if necessary, defeat attacks. We must also hold our adversaries' space capabilities at equal risk. This mirrors what we have in every other domain. We wouldn't send planes, ships, or soldiers into harm's way without the ability to defend themselves or attack an opposing force, but these are the realities facing America's assets in space today. We will know when we are making progress in this area when we pursue operational concepts, strategies, and technologies that embrace both offensive and defensive capabilities, integrate space with the other warfighting domains to allow for combined combat actions, and train Guardians not just as technical experts, but warfighters. As an astronaut and past commander of Air Force Space Command and STRATCOM, Gen Chilton has particularly unique insights into these issues. Credits: Host: Lt Col (Ret.)

Russia has taken their space ball and gone home. Let's break it down.Roscosmos, the Russian equivalent of NASA, has put the kibosh on further scientific endeavors with Germany on the Russian side of the International Space Station (ISS).According to their father's, brother's nephew's, cousin's, former roommate, Roscosmos Tweeted that cooperation has ended with Germany and that all further experiments will be conducted independently. It seems that sanctions placed on Russia has caused them to reevaluate with whom they are working and mention that the Russian space program will be reprioritized to creating satellites in the interests of defense.Roscosmos Director General also Tweeted after the US placed sanctions against them, that the ISS could potentially crash into the US or Europe a statement; some consider a not-so-thinly veiled threat.This moves us into a whole new era of warfare, as nations take unfair advantage of technology to launch defense systems and even full-on military capabilities into outer space. Here in the United States, NASA's Artemis program is overseeing the U.S. mission to exploit the Moon by building the Artemis space camp at the Lunar South Pole with a desire to extend that military presence to Mars.Sounding like something out of a Star Trek script, Gen. Howell M. Estes the III, former Commander in chief of the Air Force Space Command stated, "As stewards of military space, we must be prepared to exploit the advantages of the space medium. This vision serves as a bridge in the evolution of military space into the 21st century."Alas, the great space race is underway. Keep your eyes out for the great wind sucking Mega Maid. May the Schwartz be with you.
Episode 58 – Conversation with General Kevin Chilton: Fighter Pilot, Astronaut, and Commander Episode Summary: In episode 58 of the Aerospace Advantage podcast, Conversation with General Kevin Chilton: Fighter Pilot, Astronaut, and Commander, host John Baum engages with one of the most interesting, compelling aerospace leaders of our time. General Chilton's career covers an immense range of experiences, any one of which would mark a highly successful tenure. He attended the Air Force Academy, flew RF-4s and F-15s, and then moved to the test pilot community. He later served as an astronaut at NASA—going into space three times, including as commander of STS-76. He also served as the Deputy Program Manager for Operations for the International Space Station Program. After his time at NASA, he came back to the Air Force, where he rose through multiple command positions, including Commander of Air Force Space Command and Commander of US Strategic Command. That's a lot to fit into a 34-year career in uniform, nor has he slowed down after retiring from the Air Force. He's been involved in several arenas—ranging from work with FFRDCs and national labs, to industry. General Chilton holds Mitchell Institute's Explorer Chair for Space Warfighting Studies. Join us for an in-depth conversation about these experiences and a discussion regarding Gen Chilton's vision for Mitchell Institute's Spacepower Advantage Center of Excellence.

Right now, the most important geopolitical competition since World War II, is unfolding between China and the United States. As a result, we need to start to ask Where Does Our Stuff Come From? Asking this question and building an understanding of this great power competition is essential to safeguarding our most important innovation resource: our ability to actually produce stuff. In this episode, we explore some of the high-level strategic moves that are unfolding right under our noses in the ongoing cold-war between the United States and China, and the implications that these moves have for entrepreneurs, industrialists, and innovators. To do this, we talk to Namrata Goswami, an author, strategic analyst and consultant on Great Power Politics, Space Policy, Alternate Futures, and Frameworks of Conflict Negotiation and Resolution. ***Correction: During the conversation, we reference that private companies need to PAY to access the United States's Global Positioning System. So, to be clear: GPS is completely free and maintained by the US space force (and formerly the Air Force Space Command). You can learn more about how GPS works on www.gps.gov.*** Resources & Links Mentioned Namrata On “Where are we with China?” Namrata Goswami Ted Starlink Beta Video BeiDou and Belt and Road US - Taiwan Relations The Expanse TV Show A Strategy of Technology (Book) Moonrush (Book) The Case For Mars (Book) About Our Guest Namrata on LinkedIn, here.

Back in 2019, the Trump Administration launched Space Force and Congress soon approved redesignating the Air Force Space Command into our sixth military branch. While its creation was both historic and important to President Trump's legacy, it either was mocked by critics or got little attention from the media. Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, General David Thompson, Vice Chief of Space Operations for the United States Space Force, joined host Dave Anthony to discuss the mission of Space Force, how they're building it from the ground up, whether they feel the support of the current administration after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was accused of making fun of the armed service. Gen. Thompson answered a lot of questions about Space Force and explained why they will be critical to protecting America in the coming decades. However, the conversation was too long and we could not include all of it in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra you will hear our entire conversation with General David Thompson, Vice Chief of Space Operations for the United States Space Force.
On Wednesday Congress passed its landmark $1.9-trillion coronavirus relief package. The bill which includes $1400 stimulus checks, enhanced unemployment benefits a boost in funding for vaccines is now headed to President Biden's desk, a huge victory for the President and his administration. Even with the trillions in spending how long will it take before Americans who lost their jobs due to the pandemic can get back to work and how many of their jobs will still exist in a post-COVID work force? Liz Claman, host of The Claman Countdown on Fox Business weighs in. Back in 2019, the Trump Administration launched Space Force and Congress soon approved redesignating the Air Force Space Command into our sixth military branch. While its creation was important to President Trump, it either was mocked by critics or got little attention from the media. General David Thompson, Vice Chief of Space Operations United States Space Force discusses the mission of Space Force, how they're building it from the ground up, whether they feel the support of the current administration, and his concerns over the growing threat from China's space program. Plus, commentary by author and the vice president of communications for Focus on the Family Paul Batura.
Maj. Gen. DeAnna M. Burt is the Commander, Combined Force Space Component Command, U.S. Space Command; and Deputy Commander, Space Operations Command, U.S. Space Force, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. She leads more than 17,000 joint and combined personnel with a mission to plan, integrate, conduct and assess global space operations. Maj. Gen. Burt entered the Air Force in 1991 as a distinguished graduate of the Air Force ROTC program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Her career has included numerous satellite operations and staff positions in Air Force Space Command and U.S. European Command. Today we discuss the contagious nature of leadership passion, Gender bias from a Commander's perspective, how to reward bold leadership and how to persevere when trying to build connection and trust.
The mission of the United States Air Force is to fly, fight and win...in air, space and cyberspace. But doing that requires a new level of coordination and integration of both manned and unmanned systems. And a way to connect “sensors to shooters.” In today's episode, we talk with Ohad Harlev, co-founder and CEO of LyteLoop, a firm based in New York, and a recent participant in the Air Force Space Command's Catalyst Accelerator. Ohad and his team have been working for four years to create the first space-based data center using a set of patentable techniques to store information on lasers connected to a constellation of low earth orbit satellites. LyteLoop's innovation, a space-based data center or a “cloud above the clouds,” could be a key part of helping Dr. William Roper's vision of accessing data anywhere become a reality.

This time, the Force Fed Sci-Fi team binged so we could bring you our own Netflix's Space Force review and rating. While watching the latest Netflix comedy Space Force we asked ourselves how is Mark Naird different from Michael Scott, is John Malkovich the new everyman of Hollywood and did Netflix somehow defeat the US Government? Let's dive in…. Space Force Cast -Steve Carell as General Mark Naird: Carell has made his career in comedy after a long stint as lead character Michael Scott on the US version of The Office and in roles in films like Anchorman, The Forty Year Old Virgin, Get Smart and Crazy, Stupid, Love. Carell is also credited as a creator and executive producer on Space Force along with co-creator Greg Daniels, who also created the US version of The Office. There are noted similarities between the former show and Space Force, especially the use of a single camera, the deadpan comedy and various workplace hijinks. As Chris and Sean note during our podcast episode, Carell's performance as Naird is more believable than Michael Scott as a General Naird-like individual that can be found in just about every workplace imaginable. -John Malkovich as Dr. Adrian Mallory: Malkovich's film career extends back to the late 1970's and has appeared in films like Empire of the Sun, Of Mice and Men, Being John Malkovich, Burn After Reading, Secretariat and RED. In recent years, he's developed a reputation of portraying manic characters like in RED where he plays a paranoid, ex-CIA assassin who's convinced of a major conspiracy to eliminate him and his former colleagues. In spite of his stellar resume, he has yet to receive an Academy Award for his efforts, but hopefully that may change in the next several years. He's truly able to show off his range with the character of Dr. Mallory in Space Force as we see him and Naird have a lot of friction due to Mallory being a true scientist and Naird being military. However, in the end, they have truly tender moments among being colleagues / friends. -Also Starring: Ben Schwartz as F. Tony Scarapiducci Diana Silvers as Erin Naird Tawny Newsome as Captain Angela Ali Lisa Kudrow as Maggie Naird Fred Willard as Fred Naird (His last credited role prior to his death in May 2020) Is Space Force Real? While the Space Force as we know it gained traction in late 2019, its actual history extends back to 1982 when it was known as the Air Force Space Command and its mission didn't exactly have war-like objectives. They were primarily responsible for launching satellites, ensuring the friendly use of space, weather forecasting, missile warning and navigation. This was originally a division within the United States Air Force and not its own separate branch as we now know it to be. The Air Force Space Command was dissolved on December 20, 2019 with the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act for 2020 and was formed into its own branch that became simply known as Space Force. The mission of the new Space Force is wildly different from that of its predecessor. Its primary missions include space superiority, domain awareness, control of space, missile warning and defense and nuclear command. In essence, this branch is responsible for the militarization of space in spite of the International Space Treaty that discourages nations from utilizing space for these purposes. While its first mission was successful in March 2020, it remains unclear what the future of the Space Force will look like and how they could shape future battlefields. Space Force Satire Obviously, Netflix's Space Force is inspired by the real world decision to create a new branch of the military along with the sometimes farcical quality of the Presidential administration. There are many allusions to POTUS, but he is never directly named along with POTUS' propensity to tweet about anything and everything. Even the First Lady is not safe as her fashion sensibility is dragged in one e...
This Sunday morning on the World of Aviation, we delve into the newest branch of the military, The Space Force. The Space Force is now the sixth branch of the military and is in the developmental phase, although, the 16-thousand active duty airmen and civilians who work at Air Force Space Command are now assigned to the new Space Force. We visit with Rick Broome, who is very familiar with this new branch of our military. Tune in for the World of Aviation at 10:05 on Sunday mornings on AM 1280 The Patriot.

In the second episode of Space Week, I discuss the career of the newly appointed commander of the United States Space Force: General John Raymond. Over the course of his 35 years of service with the United States Air Force, General John Raymond has been at the forefront of innovation. From his humble beginnings as an Air Force ROTC cadet at Clemson University Raymond he aimed high. Quickly ascending the ranks Raymond served with the 321st Strategic Missile Wing, 1st Aerospace Division, and ultimately commanded the entire Air Force Space Command. As the first commander of the United States Space Force he will undoubtedly leave a legacy for generations to follow. So join me as I discuss the man behind the future of the United States Space Force.

Relational database management systems have been the mainstay of IT departments since they were first commercially introduced by Oracle in the 1970s. But over the past decade, a new generation of database categories have taken over as the top choice for enterprise IT projects. In the past few years, developers have started to reach a consensus about which of these “specialty database categories” can best handle specific use cases where relational databases haven’t kept up. According to DB-Engines, the database management categories with the fastest user growth in the past two years are Time Series databases, Graph databases, and Key-Value stores. During that time, relational database usage has stayed the same or declined slightly. Organizations now track, measure and analyze metrics from a wide range of sources that provide new data every second. According to IDC, the amount of data being produced worldwide is expected to grow nearly fivefold by 2025 to 175 zettabytes per year, driven by the proliferation of IoT sensors, serverless infrastructure, containerization and microservices. Most of this is time-stamped data generated at high frequency and in great volume that requires rapid ingestion and real-time querying to extract maximum value. This means that the future of tech innovation will require real-time system observability, with granular insights to make more precise decisions to optimize operations and improve customer experience. Paul Dix, creator of InfluxDB (open-source time-series database) and the founder and CTO of InfluxData joins me on Tech Talks Daily. With over two decades of experience helping companies like Microsoft, Google, McAfee, Thomson Reuters, and Air Force Space Command build software, Paul has unique insights to share on how and why time-series data is going to be the biggest hurdle and opportunity for tech organization in the future.

PICKING TEAMS [17:37] There are more astronauts than missions, Chilli shares how teams were built for missions during his service. He recalls his first call to pilot the Endeavour and how easy the ‘yes' came. THROWING YOUR HAT IN THE RING [19:45] The one person and the two reasons Chilli eventually applied at NASA. MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE CAREERS? [21:33] It used to be a general Air Force policy that if you left for NASA, you didn't come back… but in 1996 ‘Chilli' was invited to volunteer to help the Air Force operationalize space. LEADERSHIP STRUCTURES [24:07] The Air Force Hierarchy is built in a moving up/moving out fashion, which generates turnover and forces focus on the importance of next-generation leaders. Chilli touches on mentorship, sponsors and the value of a good boss. COMMANDER VS CEO [30:15] The General breaks down the primary differences between civilian and military work. A commander isn't just a boss. ADVICE FOR CEOs [32:40] Chilli shares what he believes CEOs can learn from flag officers — listen in for advice on what strength the military can teach you — and he shares his personal advice on what CEOs should do today to properly plan for tomorrow. POLITICS [35:22] The General makes a statement on politics in the military and offers his perspective on how and why a CEO might be more affected by politics. He also touches on how the military/political/civilian relationships need to be maintained in order to ensure smooth operations. FIRST BOARD [39:00] Getting his first board appointment came through an acquaintance and it was a learning experience that Chilli appreciated. He shares his view on managing board members with all the individual egos and existing relationships and baggage that this entails, as well as what the role of the Chair is. A DAY IN THE LIFE [42:35] Chilli shares a day in his life as a board member, and what best practices are important to keep in place. The General shares what the role of a board is — and isn't — for the benefit of an emerging executive and how to best recruit a new CEO.

The impressively humble General Kevin Patrick ‘Chilli’ Chilton joins the show today to share his 34-½ years of experience in the Air Force as well as the successful transition he then navigated into corporate America. A note to those who have not served in the Armed Forces: I will be referring to our guest as either General or by his call sign of ‘Chilli’ out of respect for his rank and his service to our country. ABOUT OUR GUEST General Kevin Patrick ‘Chilli’ Chilton graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and has flown pretty much every aircraft in the Air Force inventory including the RF4, F15, U2, and the B52. He attended test-pilot school, served around the world and was selected as an astronaut that included three shuttle missions. He was also the Deputy Program Manager of Operations for the International Space Station. He then returned to the Air Force for key postings such as the Commander of the Ninth Recon Wing, Commander of the Eighth Air Force, and Commander of the Air Force Space Command and the United States Strategic Command. He is currently the only astronaut to obtain the rank of 4-star General. Chilli has served on boards of the Anadarko, Orbital, Aerospace Corporation and both level three and post-merger with Centurylink today as well as with Aerojet Rocketdyne. THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS Podfly Productions: Podfly.net Veterans of Foreign Wars: VFWpost1.org OC Executive Search: OCExecutiveSearch.com KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:50] Michael introduces General Kevin Patrick ‘Chilli’ Chilton and asks him to share an interesting tidbit about himself — Chilli is a proud family man, husband, and father to four very successful daughters — he also played in the MaxQ all-astronaut rock band!

GRACE UNDER PRESSURE [7:59] The General shares how he got his call sign while flying the F-15. He also touches on how the ability to stay cool under pressure, tackle problems, and exemplify leadership can be trained but requires operational terrain experience.

Coach explains how Georges St-Pierre keeps aliens from abducting him Link: https://www.mmamania.com/2019/12/22/21034532/coach-explains-how-georges-st-pierre-keeps-aliens-from-abducting-him Learn how GSP makes sure aliens aren't stealing his time with this one simple trick. Georges St-Pierre is the greatest martial artist in the world. He's also the craziest martial artist too. That's right from the mouth of GSP's head coach, Firas Zahabi, who continues to talk up his star pupil like maybe that retirement isn't the most permanent thing in the whole world. He had this eyebrow raising exchange with UFC commentator and podcaster extraordinaire Joe Rogan recently. Well, I dunno, I don't want to speak for Georges. But man, he can kill anybody, this man. He's the world's greatest martial artist. I think so. I'm telling you, he's a monster. He's an animal. He loves to train. Like Saturday, he trained, he did all his rounds, then he was coaching some blue belts and purple belts and just kinda hanging out with them talking technique. He loves this stuff, man.” ”He's such a nutcase, Georges. He's crazy,” Zahabi continued. “He always tells me ‘So many crazy characters in MMA.' You're the craziest one of all! ‘Oh, no!'” ”He thinks aliens are stealing his time,” Rogan interjected. ”I share a hotel room with him many times,” Zahabi said. “He puts a foam roller up against the door like this. I move it, I put it away - ‘No, bro, leave it there!' For what? ‘In case the aliens get us.' He'll know the next day because the foam roller was moved.” ”Jesus Christ, doesn't he think the aliens can come through the walls?” Rogan asked. “How are they taking him out? Taking him through the hallway holding his hand?” ”Because they wipe his memory after,” Zahabi said. “But he'll know because they don't know he put the foam roller there. So when they move it, it's a cue for him to remember.” Reports of strange lights in the sky in northern Montana Link: GREAT FALLS — We have received reports and several photos from people in northern Montana of strange lights in the sky. People in and around Browning, Rocky Boy, and Lodgepole shared photos with MTN News on Wednesday evening that show a row of bright lights in the sky, and people in other areas of Montana reported seeing them, too. Meteorologist John Belski of TV station WLKY reported on Monday that SpaceX launched two sets of satellites this year called Starlink. Each launch had 60 small satellites that eventually will orbit the earth at an altitude of more than 300 miles. And on Sunday, meteorologist Will Haenni of station WWMT posted : "The bright dots in the sky are satellites, approximately 175 miles above the surface of the Earth. They appear bright due to their solar array reflecting sunlight back to the dark side of the globe." SpaceX launched 60 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The SpaceX website explains: "SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the needs of consumers across the globe. Enabled by a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites, Starlink will provide fast, reliable internet to populations with little or no connectivity, including those in rural communities and places where existing services are too expensive or unreliable." If you saw a row of UFO like lights in the sky in IL, IA, MI (like this but spaced out), that was SpaceX Starlink Satellites! You'll be able to see them in the next few days, too!

Space Coast win: Patrick Air Force Base designated a Space Force base Space Force: It's one step closer to reality, but we admit there are questions In addition to infrastructure, the new Space Command needs to figure out things like new uniforms and a logo. "A uniform, a patch, a song — it gets to the culture of — of a service. And so we're not going to be in a rush to — to get something and not do that right. There's a lot of work going on towards that end," Raymond said. It's assumed that the Space Force will continue to get its officers from the U.S. Air Force Academy for the foreseeable future, but perhaps will one day have its own institution.

There is nothing we do in the joint force that isn't enabled by space. Nothing. A lot of attention is being paid to the space domain, and so A BETTER PEACE welcomes General John W. "Jay" Raymond, Commander of the U.S. Air Force Space Command, to the studio to discuss his perspectives on strategic leadership. General Raymond's responsibilities include organizing, training, equipping and maintaining mission-ready space forces and capabilities for North American Aerospace Defense Command, U.S. Strategic Command and other commands around the world. The position calls for boldness and innovation to maintain U.S. leadership in a domain that both the military and the private sector depend on. Meanwhile, adversaries to the U.S. are mobilizing their capabilities to deny U.S. access to the space domain, and the potentially devastating effects of an even minor attack would be felt worldwide. So how does a leader cope with such high-visibility, high-risk responsibilities? A BETTER PEACE Editor-in-Chief Jacqueline E. Whitt moderates. Jay Raymond is a general in the U.S. Air Force and serves as Commander of the U.S. Air Force Space Command. Jacqueline E. Whitt is Professor of Strategy at the U.S. Army War College and the Editor-in-Chief of A BETTER PEACE. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Army War College, U.S. Army, or Department of Defense.

Today – I’m so excited to bring this very special Extraordinary Woman Radio interview with Astronaut Susan J. Helms - the first U.S. military woman in space! Susan is a retired Air Force lieutenant general and astronaut who was a crewmember on four space shuttle missions. She holds the world record for the longest space walk (8 hours and 56 minutes), and was the first woman to serve on the International Space Station. Susan is part of my series featuring the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame 2018 Inductees. This is an interview full of stories of space travel and the lessons that accompanied it. Apparently, you can learn a lot about life when you spend nearly 5 months aboard a space station with only 3 others aboard the international space station. There's lots of time to ponder the wonders of the world and the wonders of the Universe. We talk about humanity, life, following your dreams, working hard, training hard and being ready. Here are a few of the golden nuggets from Susan: "Humankind is really all one family as opposed to different countries." "Confidence and competency goes such a long way, as a currency, especially for women struggling with biases." "Payoff comes from the journey, not the destination." Susan was a member of the first class at the Air Force Academy to include women. Lieutenant General Helms was commissioned from the US Air Force Academy in 1980, the first class to admit women into the ranks of the cadet corps. Upon graduation, she served as an F-15 and F-16 weapons separation engineer and a flight test engineer. Following completion of her Masters of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, she served on the Faculty of the US Air Force Academy in the Department of Aeronautics. She was subsequently selected to attend the USAF Test Pilot School, Flight Test Engineer Course, Edwards AFB, CA, completing the year long school as a Distinguished Graduate. After graduation, she served as project officer on the CF-18 aircraft as a U.S. Air Force Exchange Officer to the Canadian Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment, at Cold Lake AFB, Alberta, Canada. As a flight test engineer, Lt Gen (R) Helms has flown in 30 types of U.S. and Canadian military aircraft. Selected by NASA in January 1990, Lieutenant General Helms became an astronaut in July 1991. On Jan. 13, 1993, then an Air Force major and a member of the space shuttle Endeavour crew, she became the first U.S. military woman in space. She flew on STS-54 (1993), STS-64 (1994), STS-78 (1996) and STS-101 (2000), and served aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as a member of the Expedition-2 crew (2001). After 12 years at NASA, Lieutenant General Helms transferred to Air Force Space Command in 2002. Over the next 12 years, she served in numerous staff positions and commanded the 45th Space Wing at Cape Canaveral AFS, FL. Her staff assignments include tours at Headquarters Air Force Space Command, Air Education and Training Command, and U.S. Strategic Command, where she was the Director of Plans and Policy (J5). Upon promotion to Lieutenant General, she commanded the 14th Air Force (AF Space Command) and the Joint Functional Component Command for Space (US Strategic Command), in a dualhat position at Vandenberg AFB, CA. As the U.S. Air Force’s operational space component to USSTRATCOM, Lt Gen Helms led more than 20,500 personnel responsible for providing missile warning, space superiority, space situational awareness, satellite operations, space launch and range operations. As Commander, JFCC SPACE, she directed all assigned and attached space forces providing tailored, responsive, local and global space effects in support of national and combatant commander objectives. Lieutenant General Helms retired from military service in 2014. Since retirement, General Helms has spent her time on Board work, consulting and speeches. General Helms is currently on the Board of Trustees for the Aerospace Corporation,
General Jay Raymond, Commander of Air Force Space Command, talks about keeping watch over space and cyber.
Hello All and Sundry! In Lieu of our regular episode this week, we proudly present the first episode of Space 3D, hosted by Space Pharmacist Eleanor O'Rangers and Company. For those of you who love learning about the universe and space history, Space 3D is the place to be! Episodes will launch from here initially, then move to their own feed, so give them a try!For their debut, the Space3D crew is traveling to Skylab to learn about the medical aspects and workday anecdotes of life in space! Enjoy, and See you all again next week-Dr JPodcast #1- An Interview with Dwight Steven-Boniecki on Skylab medical capabilitiesDwight Steven-Boniecki was born in Sydney, Australia in 1969, a few months before manwalked on the moon. He spent much of his childhood fascinated with space exploration -growing up in the shadow of Apollo and under the direct influence of science fiction films suchas Star Wars. The latter shaped his desire to work in the film/television industry.Having worked in the television industry in Australia, the United States, Great Britain andGermany for nearly 25 years, Dwight's professional qualifications helped to complement hisunderstanding of the pioneering television achievements of the U.S. space program.Initially to satisfy his own curiosity, Dwight combined his professional background with hisinterest in spaceflight and researched the television systems developed by NASA. To hisdismay, he discovered that while the information was available, it was not easy to access, andhad never been comprehensively written about. He set about to change that, and ended upwriting the ward-winning book, "Live TV From the Moon" as well as “Live TV From Orbit.”An avid space historian, Dwight places a great amount of detail in presenting the story with therespect it rightfully deserves, but is often unfairly denied. To that end, he is also notable forauthoring the Apogee Books 3-book series, “Skylab: the NASA Mission Reports” and isfinalizing a documentary entitled, “Searching for Skylab”, which is planned for a 2018 release.Dwight is married and lives with his wife in Cologne, Germany. He regularly dazzles his workcolleagues with his unusual knowledge of all things NASA television camera related. In hisspare time, he enjoys assuming the virtual controls of Lockheed-Martin's Prepar3d flightsimulator, listening to classic rock (the Beach Boys and Harry Nilsson especially), and watchinga wide variety of feature films.---Emily CarneyA spaceflight blogger and author based on Saint Petersburg, Florida, Emily has written for ArsTechnica, The Space Review, and AmericaSpace.

Questions we ask in this episode: If you met a stranger on an aeroplane, how would you best describe your work? What does the word ‘science’ mean to you, and does science always get it right? Should we listen to our heart more than our head, and if so, how do we tap into the hearts wisdom? What is “resilience from the heart?” What 3 things could I do right now to live my day in a more heart centered place than fear? Shop: http://shop.180nutrition.com.au/ [00:00:30] I tell you what, I feel like a kid in a candy shop at the moment with the guest we're having on because we had Gregg Braden on, who's our awesome guest today. Gregg has been a big influence in my life with his work along with, obviously, Bruce Lipton and Dr. Joe Dispenza and a few others that we talked about on the podcast. It's finally amazing to sit down with Gregg for an hour and, yeah, shoot the breeze with all his work. He's absolutely beautiful human being. He is doing phenomenal work, and absolutely necessary work as far as I'm concerned. [00:01:00] If you have no idea what Gregg's about then you're going to be in for a treat. Just sit back and enjoy this show. We're getting on to the bigger picture of stuff with Gregg today, which I think it's just as important as the things that go on in our own lives. Also, we talked about things from the heart, the discoveries and what we're finding around the heart as well, and how we can take all this knowledge and then start applying in our lives. [00:01:30] Gregg, we talked on the show anyway, he is coming to Australia very shortly and New Zealand through February. Come back to our website 180nutrition.com.au. Simply type in Gregg into the search field and all tour dates will be there for you anyway. [00:02:00] Yeah. Anything else to add to this before we go over to Gregg? Not really. If you're enjoying our shows always please leave us a review on iTunes if you can, give us also rankings, and honest review, of course. It helps spread the word out there because more and more find this, access information and then hopefully go out and apply in their lives, which is what we're all about. Anyway, let's go over to Gregg Braden. Enjoy. This is awesome. Gregg You all may know my work better than I do because it's been so long since I wrote some of those books. Guy Yeah, right. Gregg I'm going to follow your lead. I'll follow your lead, we'll do dance. Guy All right. Brilliant. Beautiful. Stu Fantastic. Guy All right. Let's start. Hi, this is Guy Lawrence. I'm joined with Stuart Cooke, as always. Good morning, Stu. Stu Good morning, Guy. Guy Our wonderful guest today is Mr. Gregg Braden. Gregg, welcome to the podcast. Gregg Good day, mates, from High Desert of Northern New Mexico where it's, actually it's a cold overcast snowy day in this High Desert. I'm really happy to be with you and my Australian family today. It's an honor to be with you today. Thank you. Stu Fantastic. Guy [00:03:00] Thanks so much for coming on, mate. There's one little question I ask everyone when they first come on the show, and that is, you're going to be on an airplane to Australia within a month anyway, so when you get on an airplane and let's say you sat next to a complete stranger and they asked you what you did for a living, what would you say? Gregg Well, that's not a hypothetical question. Stu No, it's not. Gregg [00:03:30] The way it usually goes is you sit down and they say, "Is this your first time?" Then say, "Business or pleasure?" I usually say yes. Then they say, "Well, what do you do for a living?" I say, "Well, how much time do you have?" If we're going from LAX to Australia, we've got about 13 hours, so they get the whole story. Stu Yeah. Guy It is incredible. Because even when I ... I said this, Gregg is coming on the show. Then they're, "What does he do?" I go, "You know what, that's actually really hard one to pick." Gregg Let me answer this in a different way. Guy Sure. Gregg [00:04:00] I was on a recent radio program and the interviewer was obviously frustrated with me. Excuse me. He asked me a question right off the bat. No hello, good morning, or anything like that. Stu Yeah. Gregg [00:04:30] He said, "Gregg Braden, why can't you stick with one topic?" I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "Most people, they're going to talk about the Law of Attraction, they're going to talk about self-help, they're going to talk about neurons, about biology." He said, "Man, you are all over the map. You're talking about ancient civilizations, you're talking about economic cycles, you're talking about climate, you're talking about DNA, you're talking about evolution. Why can't you just stay with one topic like everyone else?" [00:05:00] It caught me completely off guard. I said, "I understand what you're saying," but I said, "what you've just described are the many different facets of a common theme that runs through all of our lives. My sense is that the better we know ourselves the better equipped we are to deal with whatever life brings to our doorstep. Each one of the things that you've described is one facet of the ways that we know ourselves in the world, so in a very real sense I have stuck with precisely one topic. It's us and it's a big, big topic." Immediately he said, "Okay. We're going on a break," and he cut to break and I never heard anything more from that question again. It wasn't the answer that he's expecting [00:05:30] I'm a scientist. I'm a degreed geologist and my background is in ocean sciences. It's a math, physics, life science, biology, marine biology specifically, and computer science. In a very real sense, all of those things work together to do precisely what I said to that gentleman to help us understand ourselves in ways that are based in rock solid science. [00:06:00] We need to be honest, truthful, and factual with ourselves about who we are and what our relationship to our world and to one another and what our bodies really is. Because so many of our life choices, the way we solve our problems, the way we heal our bodies, our medical decisions, our decisions of partnerships, who we choose to have a partner with and how long they last, the way we're solving and addressing climate, the way that we're dealing with social issues, as different as they are from one another, they all come down to the question of who am I as an individual, who are we collectively? [00:06:30] [00:07:00] We have been steeped in a scientific story that's not true for 150 years - 150 years. We have been steeped in a story of separation, competition, conflict. Consciously and subconsciously, it comes into play with everything that we do, every problem that we solve, every relationship. My sense is to the degree that we can become honest with what the new discoveries that overturn that 150 years of thinking and, if we can share those in a meaningful way in our lives, then it helps us to think and live differently in a way to embrace the changes that we're seeing. We've never seen the world changing like it is right now. That is the trust. Actually, 2017, this is 31 years, this is my 31 year anniversary of offering this material in one form or another. It's been the same thing for 31 years. Full Transcript & Video Version: http://180nutrition.com.au/podcasts/gregg-braden-interview/
