Podcasts about Apollo 13

Nach den Raketenpionieren und den Anfängen der Raumfahrtgeschichte geht es in dieser Folge weiter mit dem eigentlichen Wettlauf ins All. Eva und Jana verfolgen die Ereignisse vom Start des ersten Satelliten Sputnik 1 über Juri Gagarins historischen Flug bis zu John F. Kennedys berühmtem Versprechen, noch vor Ende der 1960er Jahre Menschen auf den Mond zu bringen. Wie reagierten die USA auf die frühen Erfolge der Sowjetunion? Und welche technischen Schritte waren notwendig, um aus einer Vision Realität werden zu lassen? Die beiden sprechen über die Programme Mercury, Gemini und Apollo, die Tragödie von Apollo 1, die legendäre Earthrise-Aufnahme von Apollo 8 und schließlich die erste Mondlandung von Apollo 11. Doch die Geschichte endet nicht mit Neil Armstrongs berühmtem ersten Schritt. Auch die späteren Apollo-Missionen und die Frage, warum nach Apollo 17 niemand mehr den Mond betreten hat, stehen im Mittelpunkt dieser Folge. Außerdem werfen Eva und Jana einen Blick auf die sowjetischen Mondpläne und stellen die spannende Frage, ob die UdSSR jemals Chancen auf eine eigene Mondlandung hatte. Schließlich geht es zurück in die Gegenwart: Warum interessiert sich die Menschheit heute wieder für den Mond? Welche Ziele verfolgt das Artemis-Programm? Und weshalb könnte der Mond diesmal nicht nur ein Reiseziel, sondern ein dauerhafter Außenposten der Menschheit werden?

The skills that survive every industry shakeup aren't the ones you can Google — they're softer, harder to name, and far more durable. In this episode, Jonathan explores principle-oriented thinking: the practice of stripping away the labels we attach to tools, roles, and even ourselves to see what something actually does at its core. It's the difference between handing your coding off to an agent and rethinking your entire workflow around what these new materials are truly capable of. If you've been following along with our recent focus on durable skills, you know we've been hunting for the abilities that translate beyond this month, this year, or whatever AI does to our industry next. Today's skill doesn't have a tidy name you can search for — it's softer than that. Jonathan calls it "principle-oriented thinking": the habit of deconstructing the labels we put on things to understand their core components, properties, and capabilities. It's how NASA engineers turned a sock into a water filter on Apollo 13, and it's how forward-thinking engineers are reframing what AI can actually do rather than jamming it into a predetermined slot. Labels Are Useful Shortcuts — Until They Aren't: Every label, from "software engineer" to "sock," carries baggage, heuristics, and presupposition. That's not a flaw — labels are how we move through the world quickly. But when a label is the only lens you have, it quietly caps how much value you can get out of the thing you're looking at. The Apollo 13 Sock: When the crew needed to fix a life-threatening problem with mismatched parts, the engineers on the ground had to forget what a sock was for and ask what it actually is — a piece of cloth with tensile strength, flexibility, and filtering properties. Strip the assumption that it goes on a foot, and a whole new set of uses opens up. Stop Slotting AI Into Old Roles: The common move is to take one responsibility — coding, debugging, refactoring — hand it to an agent, and keep everything else the same. That works, but it's low-leverage. The more powerful approach starts by asking what the agent is fundamentally capable of, then rebuilding the workflow around those raw materials. See Things as Materials, Not Fixed Functions: When you deconstruct out from under a label, tools and concepts start to look like craftable raw materials. You can then combine them in new, valuable ways they haven't been combined before — alloying old methods with new capabilities to create properties neither had on its own. Reason From Properties, Not Personas: Ask what the actual properties of an LLM are. Non-determinism isn't a bug to apologize for — it's a property you can exploit. The existence of many different models is a property too, which is exactly what makes adversarial review possible. That's principle-oriented thinking applied to agents. Extend the Latticework: Charlie Munger talked about a latticework of mental models that weave together rather than sit in isolation. The durable skill isn't quarantining your concept of "AI" off to the side — it's grafting a new section onto the existing tapestry and letting it reshape everything you already understood. Episode Takeaway: Look at how you spend your time and ask new questions of it. What is the material here? What kind of thinking does the agent actually do? What can a human do that an LLM can't — and the other way around? That's how you avoid believing a sock is only ever good for a foot.

Welcome back! Season 6 is about finding out if someone really is all that and a bag of chips. For the opener, Mita wants to know if Ron Howard is worth all the hype. So, for his best movie, Chat GPT suggested "Apollo 13" for the next movie review. Nadeem gets caught up no some 2026 movies. 

Get ready for more space talk, probably not the kind you're thinking…unless you're a fathead, then you probably already know! Then we round the episode out with some different mixed media you could say.  Book recommended by Alyssa: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Song played by @TysonJamesMusic - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/s3pfn0Aht80   Write us some of your cringe stories at nervouslaughterpodcast@gmail.comThe socials: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter

Cathy and Todd discuss Apollo 13 (1995) for Space Month, Ron Howard's docudrama starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, and Ed Harris, based on the true story of NASA’s near-disastrous 1970 lunar mission. The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards and grossed over $355 million worldwide, cementing its place as one of the great survival stories ever put on screen. They discuss the complicated legacies of the astronauts, the emotional devastation of the wives left behind, and why the most famous line in the film isn’t what anyone actually said.

The Artemis II crew has returned home safely after a historic 10-day journey around the Moon, the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years. In this episode, we celebrate some of the mission's most extraordinary moments: the record-breaking Flight Day 6 when Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history, a breathtaking solar eclipse observed from lunar orbit, meteorite impact flashes spotted on the lunar surface, and a deeply personal crater dedication that moved the world. But the triumph comes with turbulence. Just days after launch, the White House released a Presidential Budget Request proposing a 47% cut to NASA's science budget — threatening 84 missions and nearly half of NASA's science portfolio. Jack Kiraly, director of government relations at The Planetary Society, and Ari Koeppel, AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow, join host Sarah Al-Ahmed to break down what's at stake and what's being done about it.

Artemis II astronauts on a lunar flyby mission have broken Apollo 13's distance record as humans travel further from earth than ever before. The crew are witnessing the moon from roughly 4,000 miles above its darkened surface as it eclipses what will appear to be a basketball-sized Earth in the distant background. They're now cruising along a path in the moon's gravitational sphere of influence that will take them over the shadowed lunar far side. - فضانوردان ماموریت آرتمیس ۲ در یک پرواز عبوری به دور کره ماه، ریکارد فاصله ماموریت آپولو ۱۳ را شکسته اند؛ و انسان ها اکنون بیش از هر زمان دیگر از زمین دور شده اند. فضانوردان در این ماموریت،کره مهتاب را از فاصله نزدیک به ۴ هزار مایل بالاتر از سطح تاریک آن مشاهده کردند؛ جایی که زمین در پس زمینه دوردست به اندازه یک توپ باسکتبال دیده می شود، آنها اکنون در مسیری در حوزه نفوذ جاذبه ماه در حرکت اند؛ مسیری که آن ها را از فراز بخش تاریک و پنهان اطراف ماه عبور خواهد داد.

Last week, astronaut James Lovell died at the age of 97. In April of 1970, he was the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which launched with three astronauts en route to the moon. While in space, however, the craft encountered a serious problem: an explosion in one of its fuel tanks that severely damaged the craft and disabled its electrical system, prompting the famous phrase, “Houston, we've had a problem.” In 1995, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the mission, Host Ira Flatow spoke with Lovell about the historic flight and how good luck and ingenuity among the crew and mission controllers on the ground combined to bring the Apollo 13 astronauts safely back to Earth.Guest:James Lovell was a NASA astronaut and commander of the Apollo 13 mission.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Commander and Astronaut James A. Lovell, Jr. – died Thursday at the age of 97. He was one of the three-man Apollo 13 spacecraft crew that set for the moon in April 1970.  In 1970, the Apollo 13 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center. It captured the world's attention as America's third attempt to get to the moon. But after only two days, an explosion crippled the spacecraft and changed its mission: Get home safely.The three astronauts onboard, and dozens of flight controllers on Earth, labored for days to solve one challenge after another.Captain Jim Lovell commanded that mission—after a series of historical firsts with his flights on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, and Apollo 8.In 2020, 1A's Todd Zwillich spoke to the captain about that historic flight on its 50th anniversary.
