Space obsessed Shawn Moondez is on hand to educate us about the overview effect of looking down on Earth from space. Thanks to Dan in Leeds' brilliant idea we ripped up today's show plans to focus on which UK Huns we should send in to space. Spoiler alert we decided on Gemma Collins, Alison Hammond, Carol Vorderman, Denise Welsh and Natalie Cassidy. Strong list. It's nearly time to get your tent out the shed and pitch up in a festival campsite. So we're hearing all your ‘Festival Things'. P.s you're all gross!

Since the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he has passed freely through France's airspace in early February and April of this year. French lawyer Sarah Sameur, a member of the Council for JURDI, Jurists for the Respect of International Law, explains how France has been derelict as a signatory to the Rome Statute in not apprehending the plane. She rebuts French officials' claims that France's airspace did not fall under its jurisdiction in this case.

There are a lot of different aircraft that fight wildfires, from Host Matt's favorite Sky Crane helicopter to giant cargo jets that dump tons of fire retardant. But today we're taking about a truly unique, purpose-built firefighting airplane: the Super Scooper. This plane skims the surface of a body of water, collects a shocking amount through tiny scoop ports, flies off, and dumps it on a wildfire. We talk to a pilot about what it's like to fly one.Thanks to our guest in this episode:Scott Blue, Pilot, Bridger AerospaceFind the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.

In this episode, I'm looking back at our earlier debate ignited by a listener's comment on aerial privacy and the law. Joining me in the clip I reference is Troy Hendrickson, one of the two sharp law students from our They Don't Teach You That in Law School series.We're exploring the question: What happens when airplanes fly over your property? Do you have any reasonable expectation of privacy from above? I'll explain how the law strives to balance fixed rules with the need for flexibility in an ever-changing world, especially with advancements in surveillance technology. Here are 3 key takeawaysApplying Rules to Extremes: Lawyers often use seemingly far-fetched examples to test legal rules to their logical extremes, helping to identify exceptions and crafting rules that are both robust and adaptable.Evolving Legal Frameworks: As technology advances, the law must evolve too. Crafting legal rules involves finding a balance between providing clarity and adapting to unforeseen technological advancements.Dynamic vs. Rigid Law: A major theme is finding the balance between finality and adaptability in the law, allowing it to be both definitive for current use and flexible enough to suit future scenarios.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

Jan Ahner from Alvin H. Butz, Inc. isn't your typical superintendent. In this episode, we unpack how a boots-on-the-ground builder is driving tech adoption on his own terms — from early drone deployments to site-wide digital workflows. If you think innovation only comes top-down, this conversation will change your mind.

If you haven't listened already, go back and check out Part One. When you hear 'space race' you probably (correctly) think about the 1960s Soviet Union v. U.S. race to put an astronaut on the Moon. But a few hundred years before, the space race was all about Venus. About twice every century we here on Earth get to see Venus pass in the front of the Sun. Back the 18th and 19th centuries, this was a Big Deal. At the time, all astronomers wanted to be the first to use the transit of Venus to figure out the distance between the Earth and the Sun. In Part Two we're bringing you more adventures to observe the transit and talking about what the result (or lack of results) meant for astronomy.Thanks to our guests in this episode: Ted Rafferty, formerly of the United States Naval Observatory Dr. Samantha Thompson, Astronomy Curator - National Air and Space Museum Find the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.

The mystery drones are back. Senators and Pentagon officials met privately to address ongoing sightings of unidentified drones over U.S. airspace, as 60 Minutes and NewsNation detail growing military concerns. Meanwhile, fallout continues from the leaked Signal app chat where U.S. officials accidentally exposed war plans—and their disdain for Europe. Plus, NATO issues a stern warning to Putin, the EU urges citizens to prepare for crisis, and global tensions rise over sanctions, ceasefires, and forced migration in Gaza.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

In this episode, Richard talks about his role at NATS, the UK's provider or air traffic control services, and how it links to Advanced Air Mobility. The company has recently released a white paper entitled 'Advancing Aviation through Integration of Drones in the UK's Low-Level Airspace', so Richard shares more information on why it was created and the key takeaways. The white paper also details the successful completion of Project CAELUS, part of UKRI's Future Flight Challenge, so we talk about this and the impact the learnings can have on this emerging industry. Aside from Advanced Air Mobility, we also find out how NATS envision a thriving low-level airspace economy for industries like healthcare and logistics.

The oldest Earth rocks we have are 4.3 billion years old, and samples we've brought back from the Moon are even older. But what does that have to do with craters on Mars? When the Apollo missions brought back samples, those rocks let us confirm the age of parts of our lunar bestie for the first time. Now, scientific models use data from those samples to extrapolate the age of other geologic events in our Solar System. Thanks to our guest in this episode: Dr. Beau Bierhaus, Senior Research Scientist - Lockheed Martin*Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletterFind the transcript here.Take our listener survey at s.si.edu/airspace2025Find the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin*AirSpace is editorially independent from its sponsors

Our show opens with horrific news that Hamas says a kidnapped mother and her two babies, now ages 2 and 5, are dead and they will be turning over their bodies. It's a reminder that a culture of death cannot co-exist with a culture of life. I once again get additional comment to that effect from independent Australian news reporter Erin Molan. We then look at the Delta flight that hit the runway so hard, it lost it's landing gear and rolled onto it's roof. The Legacy/mainstream media and the Left are desperate to hang this around Donald Trump and his cuts. It fails at every level, but they keep trying to use lies, fear and propaganda to shake loose his supporters. Attorney Alina Habba reminds everyone that while the Left wants to claim getting a Temporary Protection Order (“TPO”) as a win, it's only just that – temporary. In most of the cases, they are being overturned. White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told audience much the same, having to constantly fight fake news and false narratives. Yet, even MSNBC had to painfully admit that judges are siding with the Trump administration. When it comes to cutting fat in a failing institution, Kevin O'Leary tells a CNN panel that you should always cut 20% more than you think. He believes all of the departments in the Federal government need to be greatly reduced. In a sudden shift, former Covid Czar Dr. Deborah Brix now suggests that the mRNA vaccine wasn't a normal vaccine and that it wasn't meant for young or healthy people. She is literally gaslighting everything she and all of public health pushed. Not everyone in the EU was upset at the speech VP JD Vance delivered. In fact, it's becoming a rallying cry for those who are tired of the globalist agenda taking root in all of Western Europe. On a similar note, swing voters are very happy at the pace and direction of the Trump presidency. Much to CNN's dismay, pollster Frank Luntz had to admit that people who think of themselves as Democrats and had voted that way until 2024, are very happy with the direction the country is headed. We wrap up with the wit and humor of Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). He basically articulates the same things we've been wondering. With so many in the country liking the changes Trump is bringing, how do they think being “the Resistance” is a winning message?

Nick Lappos, former Vietnam AH-1 Cobra helicopter pilot and Lockheed Martin Senior Fellow for Rotary and Mission Systems, offers insights on the future of air mobility. The focus is on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and advanced air mobility (AAM).Nick was part of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) certification task force that just published the report "Challenges to the Commercialization of Advanced Air Mobility.” He shares his expertise on air traffic management. Together with Greg Feith, John Goglia and Todd Curtis, he digs into the challenges of integrating UAVs into the air traffic control system. They explore what will be needed to manage all types of air vehicles. The AIAA report outlines a technological framework reminiscent of cell phone networks where UAVs are handled in real time in an autonomous or semi-autonomous way.UAVs are expected play a significant role in delivery services and other commercial uses. The discussion covers various aspects of UAV integration, including the certification of vehicles, electronic systems, air traffic control issues, and the economic implications of UAV technology. Extensive planning and cooperation should begin now to ensure a safe future for air space.  Don't miss what's to come from the Flight Safety Detectives - subscribe to the Flight Safety Detectives YouTube channel, listen at your favorite podcast service and visit the Flight Safety Detectives website.

The SpaceX Starship explosion causes airline flight diversions, DJI changes its geofencing feature for drone flights, synthetic aviation fuel eyed for military aircraft, Boeing resumes 777X certification flight tests. Aviation News SpaceX Starship Explosion Causes Flight Diversions The January 16 launch of the SpaceX Starship was successful, and the launch tower caught the returning booster with its “chopsticks,” but the spacecraft was lost about 8 minutes into the flight. According to data from FlightRadar24, multiple aircraft, including those flying routes for American Airlines, JetBlue, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, were placed in holding patterns or landed prior to reaching their final destination. SpaceX Starship booster returning to the launch pad. (Screen grab courtesy SpaceX.) The impact of space launches on airline operations and the FAA notification process: FAA: Airspace Integration FAA Safely Keeps More Airspace Open During Most Florida Space Launches Impacts of Space Launch Operations on Florida East Coast Airspace Users Impact of Commercial Space Launch Activities on Aviation [PDF] Video: Safe Integration of Space Launches https://youtu.be/bTfEykjnbek?si=RiIaUCqefR6SwCbi DJI will no longer stop drones from flying over airports, wildfires, and the White House and DJI Updates GEO System in U.S. Consumer & Enterprise Drones DJI drone control software includes a geofencing feature called Geospatial Environment Online (GEO). It's designed to preventing drones from flying in restricted or sensitive areas. DJI's geofencing will now use FAA data instead of DJI datasets. What was previously defined as a Restricted Zone (also known as No-Fly Zone) will be called Enhanced Warning Zones with a warning that the operator can dismiss. DJI says “this shift puts more responsibility on drone operators to comply with airspace regulations and avoid restricted areas.” The company also notes that Remote ID solutions make detection and enforcement “much easier.” Lockheed Martin Approves Use of Synthetic Aviation Turbine Fuels for F-35 Fleet See: Sustainable aviation fuel approved for Boeing-built military aircraft The Air Force partners with Twelve, proves it's possible to make jet fuel out of thin air Twelve Announces $645 Million in Funding Led by TPG to Transform CO2 into Jet Fuel and Electrochemicals at Scale Twelve to produce 50,000 gallons of SAF annually at pilot plant, CEO says From Twelve: “E-Jet® SAF jet fuel made from air with up to 90% lower emissions than conventional fuel. It's a Power-to-Liquid e-fuel made from CO2, water, and renewable energy.” $645M in funding was announced in September 2024 to support the development of future AirPlants, which will supply Twelve's E-Jet fuel to customers like Alaska Airlines and International Aviation Group (IAG). Boeing Set To Resume 777X Certification Flight Tests During flight testing, technicians discovered cracks and failures in the engine thrust links of the 777X test aircraft. This issue was first detected in mid-August 2024 on the aircraft registered as N779XY, after a five-hour test flight in Hawaii. The problem led to the grounding of the entire 777X test fleet, halting the certification campaign. The thrust link is a critical component that connects the engine to the aircraft's wing, and its failure posed a significant safety risk. Boeing engineers replaced the faulty thrust links and conducted thorough inspections of the other test aircraft. The issue was resolved, and certification flights resumed in January 2025.

In the lead up to Season 10 we're reviving some of our favorite episodes. Today we bring you Emily's favorite, The Ninety-Nines. It took a certain amount of pure grit to be a pilot in the early days of aviation – and even more for the women who had to defy convention just to get up in the air.  And if you're thinking the only aviatrix was Amelia Earhart – think again. She was just one of a daring group of women aviators who were walking on wings, flying under bridges, breaking altitude records, and racing across the country – in the 1920s! Join Emily, Matt, and Nick as they explore the history of the Ninety-Nines, the organization of women pilots originally led by Earhart and still active today. Documentary-maker Heather Taylor sets the scene of the thrilling and dangerous first Women's National Air Derby in 1929. And Emily discovers an amazing view in her first non-commercial flight (in a tiny four-seater!) with modern-day Ninety-Nine Judy Shaw.Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletter

We are in the process of sharing our favorite episodes from the past and felt it was fitting to bring you back our QueerSpace episode featuring Nikki among other futurist artists.  When researching QueerSpace, we repeatedly saw creators blending themes of space and themes of queerness in their art. Many of these artists use their art to envision new futures. Futurist thinking uses the experience of the past and present to contextualize and reimagine what the future could be, often creating a future that's more equitable and radically different than what we have now.Thanks to our guests in this Episode: Nikki Giovanni, Futurist Artist Lola Flash, Futurist Artist Stamatina Gregory, Chief Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art AirSpace Season 10 is just around the corner!

In late November, a series of concerning incidents began to unfold in the skies above several U.S. Air Force bases in the United Kingdom. For several days, military officials and local civilian witnesses observed incursions by mysterious drones over these high-security facilities, all of which the Pentagon says remain unresolved. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we analyze the recent mystery drone incidents in detail and explore what is known about the military response to these incursions, what their origins may be, and why some UAP proponents have argued that the objects may not be drones at all. What is the most likely explanation for the concerning spate of sightings, and what could it all mean for the national security of the Western nations that have been targeted? Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

As we wait for season TEN (!!!) we're looking back on this season six favorite.Every day, satellites orbit Earth taking pictures. These images are used for everything from intelligence to weather prediction and even today's topic – archaeology. When you hear the term “space archaeology” you might envision a khaki-clad astronaut excavating the Moon. But these space archaeologists are actually Earth-bound researchers who use satellite and other aerial imagery to assist in archaeological applications right here on our home planet. This imagery is used to find new archaeological sites, track changes on already discovered ones, and even helps fight looting. On today's episode, we hear from a researcher using this technology in Central America to see below the trees and assess where ancient structures may have been. And we talk to a Smithsonian scholar who uses satellite data for cultural heritage preservation.Thanks to our guests in this episode: Dr. Kelsey Herndon, University of Alabama in Huntsville. Researcher-NASA SERVIR Program Dr. Katharyn Hanson, Cultural Heritage Preservation Scholar- Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute Find the transcript here.Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletter
