Dr. Karen Nyberg is an engineer, astronaut, and artist who, through nearly thirty years of experience in human spaceflight, has gained an appreciation for the value of working within and across diverse political ideologies, cultural values, and world views to advance critical missions. In this episode of Casual Space, Beth and Karen delve into Karen's journey from learning how to sew by her mother, to creating art inspired by her space missions. Karen discusses her love for quilting, which she began during graduate school, and how the breathtaking views from the space station influenced her artwork. She recounts her interactions with fellow astronaut-artist Alan Bean and the challenges of finding creative time in space and making a special dinosaur quilt for her son. Additionally, Karen shares her experiences with space food, her fabric design work, and her passion for trail running. The episode provides a glimpse into how Karen balanced her professional duties with her artistic pursuits and personal life, both on Earth and in orbit. Check out Karen's artwork and more: https://karennyberg.com/ About Karen: Karen was selected as a member of the NASA Astronaut Corps in 2000. She made her first trip to space aboard Space Shuttle Discovery in 2008, during the height of International Space Station (ISS) construction, delivering and installing the Japanese Laboratory. On her second spaceflight in 2013, Karen launched on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and lived and worked at ISS for 166 days. Prior to astronaut selection, Karen worked as an Environmental Control Systems Engineer at the Johnson Space Center where she led several design and analysis initiatives in the areas of space vehicle and space suit thermal and environmental control. Recently retired from NASA, Karen is currently pursuing interests in the areas of conservation and sustainability, fully appreciating the responsibility for innovation and technology to strive to meet those needs.

Pre-order our new book, "The Score That Matters." https://amzn.to/3HaJjgh Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes. This is episode #563 of The Learning Leader Show. My guest is Dr. Mike Massimino. The 3 Trusts - Trust your gear, trust your training, trust your team… And the 4th: trust yourself. Mike persisted through 3 rejections over 7 years on his way to becoming an astronaut, including overcoming a medical disqualification by training his eyes and brain to see better. Mike participated in a mission that significantly increased Hubble's discovery potential and led to the award of a Nobel Prize in physics for the discovery of dark energy during a spacewalk. Why Mike was chosen to be an astronaut: Mike has a great combination of competence (he knows his stuff) and high character. He's the type of guy that can get along and work with anyone. He's honest, humble, and authentic. The power of having a deep passion for what you're doing. Mike watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon when he was six years old and then did whatever he could over the rest of his life to become an astronaut. His desire to become an astronaut led him to go to prestigious universities, earn his Ph.D., become a pilot, become scuba certified, develop great communication skills, and so much more. All of that work led to him accomplishing what he set out to do when he was just 6 years old. “I knew right then that I wanted to be a part of something that meaningful. I wanted to have something I was so passionate about that I'd be willing to risk everything for it. I wanted to know that if I ever got killed, I got killed doing something worthwhile. The kid who looked up at the moon and wasn't afraid to dream - I decided that part of me deserved a chance. I sat there in that reception area, watching the crash footage play over and over again on the television, and that was when it hit home for me: you only have one life. You have to spend it doing something that matters.” What Mike learned from Alan Bean: The most important lesson is to care for and admire everyone on your team. “My favorite lecturer was Alan Bean, who flew on Apollo 12 and is one of the twelve guys who walked on the moon. After retiring from NASA, he became a painter. Alan's lecture was called "The Art of Space Exploration." He talked about the mistakes he'd made and how he learned to fix them. One lesson that took him a while to learn was that at a place like NASA you can only have an effect on certain things. You can't control who likes you. You can't control who gets assigned to flights or what NASA's budget is going to be next year. If you get caught up worrying about things you can't control, you'll drive yourself nuts. It's better to focus on the things right in front of you. Identify the places where you can have a positive impact. Concentrate there and let the rest take care of itself. The last thing Alan said to us was 'What most people want in life is to do something great. That doesn't happen often. Don't take it for granted. Don't be blasé about it. And don't blow it. A lot of times, believe it or not, people blow it. “Kennedy's address announcing the Apollo program was one of the great presidential speeches of all time. He challenged us. He excited us. We reach for impossible things, he said, “not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Competence + Character = Trust. The Right Stuff - The Original 7 Astronauts. If you have a bad boss, what should you do: Stay the course Lead by example “Life is funny. I'd applied to the wrong graduate program, but that eventually led me to the right grad program. I'd taken what I thought was the wrong undergraduate major, and that was the thing that set me apart and allowed me to find my niche. I don't know if there are any lessons to take from that except to realize that the things you think are mistakes may turn out not to be mistakes. I realized wherever you are, if you make the most of what you've got, you can find a way to keep moving forward.” “If you can learn to live with indignities in life, you can go far.” “That's how a team works. You help the people around you, and everybody's better off for it. The crazy thing is that most of those guys wanted to be astronauts, too, but they never saw it as a competition. We were on the same team, where you want everyone around you to be as successful as possible, because in some way or another their success will become your success. It's good karma - what goes around comes around.” “Right after we launched, I realized that all the training we'd on what to do if something went wrong during launch-how to bail out , how to operate the parachutes, how to make an emergency landing-I realized that all those years of training were completely pointless. It was just filler to make us feel okay about climbing into this thing. Because if it's going down, it's going down. It's either going to be a good day or it's going to be a bad day, and there is no in-between.” “The camaraderie that firefighters have, that brotherhood that forms among them - my father was a part of that, and it came from having a shared sense of purpose. He told me that whatever you do in life, it can't just be about making money. It's important that you work to make the world a better place, that you help improve the lives of the people around you.” Perspective: Mike shares how looking down on Earth from space changed his perspective and filled him with deep gratitude.

This week we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Skylab 3 by talking to the only surviving member of that crew - Jack Lousma.Skylab 3 lifted off on July 28th 1973 and the mission lasted 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes which was an endurance record at the time. The commander was Alan Bean, science pilot was Owen Garriott and the pilot was Jack Lousma. Lousma was one of 19 astronauts selected in NASA astronaut group 5 in April 1966, perhaps most famous for being the astronaut who was CAPCOM during Apollo 13 at the moment the explosion happened on board the spacecraft. He was the person who responded to the “Houston we've had a problem” message. As well as this Skylab mission, he commanded the Space Shuttle on it's 3rd mission before retiring from NASA in October 1983 having clocked a total of 67 days and 11 hours in space.Try and meet Jack at Kennedy Space Center: https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/launches-and-events/events-calendar?pageindex=1 Full show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guests and links to what caught our eye this week.Image Credits: NASASpace and Things:X: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.

It's a big proposition to get started on the next 100 stories from Within The Realm. Some may wonder, how does a fella have so many tales tucked away in his mind. Folks that know me well, know that I have a million of ‘em and they wish I would hush, at least for a little bit. Well, the good news is that today is not a day I feel inclined to hush, so we'll move forward with our story for today after we hear from the good folks that help me bring you our show. After that I have a story about the center of the universe, it's closer than you might think. (music/Commercials/stinger) Thanks for inviting me back to your podcast listening device. Be sure to check out the show notes in the info on this episode for news about the show & how to contact us. We would love to hear from you. This episode might reveal my roundabout way of dealing with a story. I can't seem to follow a straight line from one end of a story to the next, but hopefully that makes them interesting. I tell stories that come from the place where the Great Plains, the Ozark Mountains and the Indian Territory collide. A lot of people refer to it as “Fly Over Country” and for a lot of folks they do exactly that, Fly over it on their way to more supposedly interesting places. One thing those people don't know is the Center of the Universe lies beneath them as they jet from coast to coast. The Center of the Universe is in Tulsa, just off 1st and Boston. At this location there is a small circle of concrete in a wide spot on a walking path where a person can stand & hear their conversational tone echoed back to them, but then step off of that circle no echo is produced. Folks come from near & far to hear for themselves & leave satisfied they have experienced something weird. There are those that try to explain away the phenomenon, saying it has something to do with the curved concrete seating on either side of the spot constructed several years ago that produces the echo. They can try to explain it with Science, but those that reside Within The Realm know it's a mystery of the ever expanding variety. But the first to point out Oklahoma's centralness to the Cosmos was the great Oklahoma folksinger, songwriter, actor & quantum philosopher Hoyt Axton. You may remember him as the Dad in Gremlins or from his song Della & the Dealer from the 70s. You DO remember him as the songwriter that gave us Never Been To Spain, The Pusher & the one about the Bullfrog named Jeremiah, Joy To The World. Hoyt was often quoted as saying Oklahoma was the cultural center of the universe. Now that always got a laugh from the folks on either coast, thinking about this place as devoid of anything good. After all the bright lights are in New York and LA. On this one, I'm a disciple of the Bard from Duncan, if we push the boundaries out to incorporate all of that place I call Within The Realm, I think I can make a pretty strong argument that Fly Over Country is, in fact, the cultural center of the universe. This part of the world has been settled for some time, but really didn't fill up til late in the game. It was very much a part of that frontier that Fredrick Jackson Turner based his thesis on, the one Professor Greg Jackson reminded us in the last episode went something like “the frontier made America or the Frontier was the most American thing that America ever America'd.” I put it another way, many of those folks were kicked out of every other decent place in the world and came here. This place was diverse, culturally speaking. Just taking that Center of the Universe location in Tulsa as an example, within just a few blocks of that site, you have the Muskogee Tribes Council Oak, the place where the members of that band of Native Americans met and conferred long before Oklahoma was a State. Within Walking distance from there is the Greenwood District, the Black Wall Street, where a vibrant African American community thrived. And of course downtown Tulsa, owing its very existence to those that came here to make a living from what came out of the ground. Many communities in this vast part of the country had similar communities. Not everything was perfect, but strong communities existed in this place. Out of those strong but separate cultures came the Negro Baseball Leagues, Wild West Shows, Kansas City Jazz & Western Swing. Those same communities produced Will Rogers, Walt Disney, Woody Guthrie & Langston Hughes. And as all that was brewing, Railroads funneled people through Kansas City and Route 66, the Mother Road was built right through the Ozarks, Indian Territory and the Great Plains in the 1920s. This was the road that the “Okies” used in their escape to California in the Great Depression. The term Okie, at least to the Californians who saw them as undesireables in their fair State, applied to all those that came through Oklahoma on their exodus to the west, be they from Texas, Arkansas or Missouri. But once it was all said and done 15% of the population of Oklahoma had headed for the jobs in the fields and the cities they hoped awaited them in the Golden State. This was the first great export of the Within The Realm culture. The Okies took with them their culture just as Will Rogers was the number one box-office draw and Walt Disney and the slew of Kansas City animators like Fritz Freeling and Ub Iwerks, were revolutionizing animation. Count Basie was spreading the popularity of the Kansas City style jazz & radio Station KVOO, the Voice of Oklahoma, was broadcasting the music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys across the west. But even after the Depression & World War II, folks from this part of the world made an impact everywhere. The folk music trend of the 50s & 60s was greatly influenced by Woody Guthrie, Oklahoman Jimmy Webb penned some of the greatest love songs of the 60s, including Wichita Lineman & By The Time I Get to Phoenix about a lovelorn Okie headed back to Oklahoma. Newscaster Walter Cronkite, science fiction author Robert Heinlein & radio commentator Paul Harvey spread their Fly Over Country sentimentality to their audiences. S. E. Hinton, a young writer from the middle of nowhere wrote “The Outsiders” that influenced generations of young people. Long before Garth Brooks was the biggest thing ever in Country music, Ozarkian Porter Waggoner delivered Dolly Parton to the World and Eric Clapton regularly scoured the Tulsa scene for backing musicians. Leon Russell, the Master of Time and Space, influenced passels of musicians including a young Reginald Kenneth Dwight, who later became known as Elton John. And we're only scratching the surface of what this place has offered to the rest of the world. I haven't even mentioned Cherry Mash, the ICEE or Kool-Aid. So, for those of you who live Within The Realm, you know who you are, there's lots of history and background in this area. It's more than just trivia. It's a part of the fabric of our country, a country that has an outsized impact of the world. The influence of the people of the place even stretches into the depths of space. Remember it was a Kansas farm boy that discovered Pluto & four men from our little region have walked on or orbited the moon, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, Tom Stafford & Ronald Evans. And then for you folks that have never known the pleasures of living in this stretch of country, those of you who wonder what in the world those folks you are flying over might be doing down there. You might be surprised to know how much the music you listen to, the literature you read and content you consume was created right here...or even how the ability to fly over said region was developed here. There's always more to the story here Within The Realm, the Cultural Center of the Universe. Plenty more stories for another 100 or so episodes.

Pero en la primera misión Neil Amstrong y Buzz Aldrin estuvieron sólo dos horas paseando por la superficie lunar, su exitosa misión allanó el camino para que otros astronautas se embarcaran en otras exploraciones lunares más avanzadas y sólo 4 meses después del primer alunizaje el Apolo XII lleva a Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon y Alan Bean de nuevo a la luna y a diferencia de las sólo 2 horas de paseo lunar esta segunda misión se pasó 8 horas recogiendo rocas y realizando estudios abriendo la época de los exploradores lunares.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth." These words, spoken by President John F. Kennedy in May 1961, changed the lives of twelve Americans who walked on the moon. The Wonder of it All focuses on the Apollo astronauts; Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, John Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt, as they reflect on the training, the tragedies, being on the moon and the impact of space travel.

Life's Tough, but Richard Garriott is TOUGHER… This Second-Generation Astronaut Shares the “Overview Effect”

Life’s Tough, Explorers Are TOUGHER!

No matter how many times you've rehearsed it and played it out in your mind, launch day is an entirely different experience. There are so many parts of the preparation that cannot be practiced ahead of time. Squeezing into position in the capsule, turning it on, and bringing it to life… making small talk with other crew members and dozing during a countdown hold. And, a complete sense of awe. Our host, Richard Wiese, spoke with Richard Garriott during our Explorers podcast in Part 2 of an extraordinary interview. He shares his experience with launch day and some insight into his life as an explorer. Richard recounts receiving a letter from Apollo 12 alumni Alan Bean. In it, his fellow astronaut expressed that he was glad Richard was going into space because he knew Richard could describe it with passion. He tells us how captivating it was to look at the earth out of the window during his journey in space. At the same time, he describes it as receiving a firehose of information about the world. Then he shares with us a description of the “Overview Effect.” While looking at his hometown of Austin, Texas, and seeing it in relation to the rest of the earth, he had a physical and emotional reaction. It came with the sudden realization that he knew the scale of the earth by direct observation. As an explorer, Richard says that we tend to think of all the “famous firsts” from past generations. In fact, exploration is reaching new frontiers every day, both on a grand and small scale. When asked what it was like to see his father, who helped open the hatch upon landing, he remarked that the whole experience was a father-son bonding opportunity beyond all others. His Dad helped him prepare for the flight, served as part of his support crew, and was there when he landed. As a member of the Explorer's Club, Richard says it's always a balance between feeling like an imposter and feeling like a deserving member. Perspective in life comes from having gained and lost. Having both rises and falls helps in your development. To learn more about explorer Richard Garriott and his life as a Gamer, an Adventurer, and a Pioneer, visit his website.

太空上“看”长城

科学真相

神州五号胜利返航，中央电视台白岩松采访中国第一名太空人杨利伟时有这么段对话：　　白岩松：还有一点是很多观众也非常关心的，你在整个飞行的20多个小时的过程中，看地球的感受是怎样的，有没有看到大家都在说的长城？　　杨利伟：看地球景色非常美丽，但是我没有看到我们的长城。白岩松之所以有此问，是因为有一个众所周知的说法，认为万里长城是太空中唯一可以用肉眼看到的人工建筑。例如，2000年语文高考试卷要求阅读理解鲍昌《长城》一文，其结语就是：　　“哦，长城！我不知你对此作何感想。你那虽然古老但仍坚固的躯体，愿意接待异域殊方的杂色人流吗？你能承受住历史的再冲荡和新世纪的胎动吗？　　“你不语。你扎根的纠墨。群山不语，并晴洁气爽的长天也不语。　　“但人们告诉我：外层空间能看到的地球上惟一的人工痕迹，就是你呵，长城！” 这种说法在国外也颇流行。美国出的麦片包装盒上经常写一些给小孩看的小知识，我就见过有一种写着“你知道中国的长城是太空唯一肉眼可见的人造物吗？”还有一个更离奇的说法，说长城是月球上唯一肉眼可见的人造物，这后一种说法可能是更早的说法。有人计算过，人眼在月球上绝对无法分辨出地球上的长城。不过更有说服力的是登过月球的宇航员的证词。曾乘阿波罗12号登月的阿兰·彼恩（Alan Bean）说： “在月球上你能看到只是一个美丽的圆球，大多部分是白色的（云），部分是蓝色的（海洋），点缀着黄色（沙漠），以及偶尔有些绿色的植被。在这个尺度上没有人造物是可见的。事实上，在首次离开地球轨道，仅几千英里之遥时，就见不到任何人造物了。”（月球离地球约23万7千英里，即38万4千公里。引文见Tom Burnam's More Misinformation（1980））另一位宇航员威廉·博格（William Pogue）曾在1973至1974年间在太空站工作，他所在的高度约300英里。他在1991年出版的一本书《在太空中如何盥洗》中指出，在那样的高度上已无法用肉眼看到长城，而需要用到望远镜才能看到。那么，在较低的太空，例如航天飞机飞行的轨道上（离地球约160到350英里），能否看到长城呢？能看到，但是很难看到，而且还有许多人造物比长城更容易看到。美国《国家地理杂志》1996年11月号报道航天飞机宇航员杰·埃普特（Jay Apt）的话说： “我们寻找中国的长城。虽然我们能够看到象飞机场跑道这么小的东西，但是长城看来主要是由与周围的土壤同一颜色的材料建成的。尽管一直有故事说它能在月亮上看到，长城在只有180英里的上空就已经几乎不可见了。” 航天飞机宇航员在这个高度上能看到许多人造物，包括高速公路、飞机场、大坝、城市、麦田、桥梁等等。在太空站工作的华裔太空人卢杰（Ed Lu）指出：“从太空能够看到很多的东西。能够看到金字塔，特别是用望远镜更容易看到。用肉眼看起来有点困难。”他说，你能看到长城，但是它比许多其他物体更不容易看到，而且你必须知道朝哪里看。（引文见SPACE.com今年10月6日的报道）这个有关长城的神话早在人类征服太空之前就已经开始出现了。没有人确切地知道它是谁炮制出来的。有人估计是在美国首次载人飞船升天之前，美国航空航天局的某位大腕的随口猜测，后来被误传成了实有其事。也有人发现，在1938年，美国著名探险家理查德·哈里伯敦（Richard Halliburton）在一本畅销书中就声称“天文学家说长城地球上唯一一个可以从月球上用肉眼看到的人造物”（见www.snopes.com/ science/greatwal.htm）。最近网友潘忠伟在翻看《胡适日记全编》时，发现早在1931年3月3日的《北平晨报》刊载国民党元老之一张继的演说就有这样一句话：　　“兄弟又见法国一本书上说，假如人能到月亮里面去，俯视地球上的建筑，只有万里长城，此亦可见我们民族秦始皇的文化精神。”（引自《胡适日记全编》（1931- 1937），曹伯言整理，79页，安徽教育出版社，2001年）如此看来，这个神话很可能是某个法国人的天才想象，又很快被我们中国人发扬光大了。这个神话很让某些虚荣的国人骄傲一番，可惜的是那不过是误传，要使他们失落一回了吧。根据高考语文的标准答案，鲍昌文章之所以要感慨长城是“外层空间能看到的地球上惟一的人工痕迹”是为了“显示出中华民族的伟大、自豪和自信，能承受改革开放的冲荡”，难道一个民族的伟大、自豪和自信，竟是要建立在这么一个子虚乌有的谣言之上的吗？ 2003.10.30.

A Rare Reprieve for Texas Death Row Inmate Rodney Reed (0:33)Guest: Griffin Hardy, Communications Manager for Sister Helen Prejean's Ministry Against the Death PenaltyRodney Reed had been scheduled for execution in Texas this week for the rape and murder of a Texas woman in 1996. But a nationwide campaign to save Reed's life, that included Republican politicians and celebrities Kim Kardashian West and Rihanna, succeeded. On Friday night, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals suspended Reed's death sentence indefinitely and ordered the court that originally tried Reed to consider new evidence in the case. This kind of last-minute reprieve is very unusual in Texas, which leads the nation in executions. Ancient Origins of Modern Board Games (16:22)Guest: Cameron Browne, Associate Professor of Computer Science, Maastricht UniversitySome of my favorite childhood memories are of playing a new board games as a family. My brother-in-law ran a board game rating website, so we tested lots of them. But long before you could look up a game online and see how many stars it got, people passed down games orally or wrote instructions that have long since been lost. In fact, the rules for some of your favorite games may date back centuries. 50th Anniversary of Apollo 12 (32:11)Guest: Mike Joner, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Brigham Young UniversityYou couldn't miss the 50thanniversary celebrations of Apollo 11 over the summer. Everybody knows Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first to walk on the moon. You ever heard of Pete Conrad and Alan Bean? They landed on the moon just four months later. At this very moment 50 years ago, the crew of Apollo 12 was about to touch down on the lunar surface. So, we're going to pay a little tribute to the men who were 3rdand 4thon the moon. The DC Sniper and Questions of Youth in the Justice System (51:10)Guest: Marsha Levick, Chief Counsel and Founder of Juvenile Law CenterWhen a teenager commits murder, should he face the death penalty? Not according to the US Supreme Court, which, a decade ago, abolished the death penalty for offenders under 18. So, what should happen to that teenager? Is life in prison without the chance of a parole a reasonable sentence? Over the last several years the US Supreme Court has been steadily restricting that sentence for juvenile offenders, too. The latest case to come before the justices involves a particularly high-profile inmate –Lee Boyd Malvo, better known as one of the DC snipers who killed 10 people in a shooting spree back in 2002. Malvo was 17 at the time. The FIDO Project Gives Dogs A Voice (1:10:08)Guest: Melody Jackson, Director, Center for BioInterface Research and Professor at Georgia Tech's College of ComputingIf you've never dreamed of talking to your dog, you're probably lying to yourself. Now, new technology is making that dream a reality. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are creating new tech that allows dogs to contact humans in case of emergencies their owners face (such as with a chronic illness, an injury, or even an allergic reaction) and speak in ways we can actually understand. For example, a new dog vest is one of several emerging technologies that is programmed with a few phrases that the dog initiates with a tap of their nose. "My owner needs your attention!” and “Please follow me!” are the working messages currently. However the project is still underway and they are excited to continue improving fido's speech. A New Antiviral for Herpes Virus (1:22:49)Guest: Alonzo Cook, PhD, Professor of Chemical Engineering, BYU; Rex Cates, PhD, Retired Professor of Biology, BYU; Mike Alder, BYU Technology Transfer OfficeTwo-thirds of all the people on the planet are infected by the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 –that's the one that causes periodic outbreaks of cold sores.

Alan Bean is a writer, spiritual counselor, and the founder of Friends of Justice. Alan has spent much of his life as a Baptist pastor, but after moving to Tulia, Texas for a potential ministry position, he learned that forty-six people (thirty-nine of which were African American) had been indicted on the uncorroborated word of a corrupt undercover officer. His unexpected and dramatic transition from Baptist pastor to criminal justice reform advocate led to the founding of Friends of Justice in 2000. Since then, Alan’s work has led to the formation of advocacy organizations and pro bono attorneys who have exposed a corrupt sting, freed dozens of people from Texas prisons, changed Texas evidentiary laws and led to the disbanding of over fifty mismanaged narcotics task forces throughout Texas. These victories laid a solid foundation for 15 years of bipartisan criminal justice reform in Texas. In this episode, Alan Bean discusses his experience as a progressive Baptist, his experience at seminary, pastoral ministry, as well as his work in criminal justice reform. ---GUEST LINKS---Friends of JusticeBook: Taking Out The Trash in Tulia, Texas Articles Twitter: @alanbean5——HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW—— Donate to our patreon account.

2018 has been one wild trip around the sun. The onslaught of political news alone has been overwhelming, let alone the personal shifts and changes we all experience. There are many ways to approach a retrospective. In this final episode of the year, The Leftscape honors well-known and lesser known people who had an impact on the world, passed in 2018, and whose lights still shine. Anthony Minson Wendy Sheridan begins the conversation by remembering Anthony Agabatt Minson - a craftsman, a powerful worker of magick, and a true friend to all three co-hosts. Wendy, Mary, and Robin share memories and healing laughter. As The Leftscape was recorded live this week in Wendy's home, it was extra touching that gifts "Batt" had made over the years were all around the room. Pete Shelley Robin Renée spoke of Pete Shelley, lead vocalist of the profoundly influential band the Buzzcocks and solo performer of the iconically queer "Homosapien." Cicely Berry Mary McGinley remembered and praised the innovations of John Barton and Cicely Berry, co-founder and voice director, respectively, for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Ntozake Shange Others we lost in 2018 include Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Mort Walker in comics, brilliant theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, Apollo astronauts Alan Bean and John Young, CSS design team member Cindy Li, UN diplomat Kofi Annan, politician John McCain, writers Ursula K. Le Guin and Ntozake Shange, activist David Stroh Buckel, journalist Jamal Khashoggi, playwright Neil Simon, celebrities/performers Penny Marshall, Burt Reynolds, Anthony Bourdain, Tab Hunter, Aretha Franklin, XXXTentacion, Mac Miller, and Delores O'Riordan, and gorillas Koko and Nico. These are just a sampling of the many from pop culture, arts and sciences, and elsewhere who are recognized in the show. Explore the Wikipedia entry on notable people who died in 2018 to learn more about their lives and contributions. The week's celebrations include Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, and the birthdays of Henry Miller, Steve Allen, Gregg Wayans, Lars Ulrich, and David Sedaris. In shocking news, Men's Health reports that Keith Richards is finally on the wagon.

In Episode 24, Wendy Sheridan talks about a renewed sense of vulnerability and feeling that as a Jewish person her "provisional white card has been revoked" after the recent massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. It is a newly deepening awareness of a very old danger at work in the world. Wendy along with Robin Renée and Mary McGinley think out loud about the ingrained white supremacy and patriarchy in American society and how we might work to create change. They challenge themselves and others to find ways to erode anti-Semitism, racism, patriarchy and homophobia in everyday life in whatever ways possible. Later, the conversation shifts to a feminist discussion of the 1966 Neil Simon musical and 1969 film Sweet Charity starring Shirley MacLaine with choreography by Bob Fosse. They take a look at its subject and subtext, style, shortcomings, and powerful depiction of female rage. At the top of the show, designated days, weeks, and months include COPD and PPSI (Pharmacists Planning Services Inc.) and AIDS Awareness Months, Fraud Awareness Week, Nurse Practitioner Week, Kindness Week, Dear Santa Letter Week, Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, and Spicy Guacamole Day. Thursday is National Clean out Your Refrigerator Day. On this day in history, Moby Dick was published in 1851, in 1968 Yale University went co-ed, and in 1969 Apollo 12 launched en route to the moon with crew Commander Charles Conrad Jr, Richard F. Gordon Jr, and Alan L. Bean (Wendy met Alan Bean at space camp and Robin named a dog after Charles "Pete" Conrad.). It is the birthday of Edward White, Claude Monet, Aaron Copeland, McLean Stevenson, Patrick Warburton, Yanni, Nina Gordon of Veruca Salt, and Rev. Run of Run DMC.

Alan Bean was not only a fighter pilot, Navy test pilot, astronaut, moonwalker, space station commander and artist, but he was also a very considerate, genuine and self-effacing gentleman. We are hugely saddened by the loss of such a lovely man but heartened that he passed away peacefully surrounded by his family.

Episode 7: Remembering Apollo Astronaut Dick Gordon Dick Gordon passed away in November 2017, and author and volunteer Jake Schultz had the honor of recording Gordon’s oral history few months prior to learn about his experiences as an astronaut. In this episode, Gordon talks spaceflight, corvettes, and football. He recalls the differences between the Gemini and Apollo missions. Gemini’s Titan II rocket was an ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) designed to get you into orbit as fast as possible at altitude and then shut down. The Saturn V rocket on the Apollo mission, however, was a different kind of ride. “It shook, rattled and rolled,” Gordon describes. Gordon, a Seattle native, also fondly recalls bonding with his crew—Pete Conrad and Alan Bean—over their three red Corvettes and taking on the role of the Executive Vice President of the New Orleans Saints after his space career.

Alan Bean is not the astronaut, and it's a good thing because his calling is much higher tha flying in a spaceship. Bean is executive director of Friends for Justice, an organization that "creates a powerful synergy between grassroots organizing, civil rights advocacy, the legal community, the mass media and ultimately the political establishment." As minorities and other disadvantaged Americans find it more and more difficult to get a fair shake in the courts, Bean and his group come along side to help. And help they have. Visit their website friendsofjustice.wordpress.com to read stories of their victories and heartbreaks. You can also support them financially. The bible is on his side. "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." - Isaiah 1:17 God's on his side as well, so if you haven't thought much about justice lately, this podcast might get the old gears turning.
