The Space Show Presents Michael Listner, Sunday , 12-21-25Quick SummaryOur program focused on analyzing the newly released Trump Space Policy Executive Order and its implications for NASA's moon return mission by 2028, with discussions around commercial space initiatives, infrastructure challenges, and geopolitical considerations. The Wisdom Team explored NASA's current plans, leadership changes, and the evolving role of private investment in space exploration, while examining international reactions and regulatory challenges. The conversation concluded with discussions about space governance, technological advancements, and future policy directions, including the potential for reduced launch costs and the importance of spectrum management in space policy.SummaryThe Wisdom Team discussed the newly released Trump Space Policy Executive Order, which Michael noted pushes for commercial space initiatives rather than the expensive rocket version, aiming for a moon return by 2028. David expressed skepticism about meeting this timeline without radical program changes, and mentioned Dr. Mike Griffin's upcoming appearance to share his perspective. David and Michael discussed the newly released executive order on space policy, which aims to return humans to the moon by 2028. Michael explained that the order emphasizes a sustainable and cost-effective lunar presence, including greater commercial space involvement. He noted that while the order is significant, its reception and implementation may face challenges, particularly due to potential conflicts with previous legislation. David raised concerns about the feasibility of the 2028 timeline, citing skepticism about current infrastructure and project delays. Michael acknowledged these concerns but suggested that the administration's focus on achieving this goal before the end of the president's term could drive progress.We continued talking about NASA's plans to return to the moon, with Michael emphasizing that the Space Launch System (SLS) is currently the only viable option for achieving this goal within a reasonable timeframe, despite its limitations and high costs. The group discussed the potential influence of lobbying by contractors with stakes in SLS, as well as the geopolitical considerations of competing with China's lunar ambitions. John Jossy mentioned the recent executive order requiring NASA to review major space acquisition programs, potentially opening the door to cuts or cancellations, though Michael suggested that SLS would likely continue until at least Artemis 3 or 4 due to political realities and geopolitical interests.Our Wisdom Team discussed the implications of recent changes in NASA leadership and broader space policy, with Michael sharing insights about the challenges faced by former NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine and others. They explored the future of space exploration, with Michael predicting that private investment would become more important than government funding over the next 10-15 years, leading to the formation of large space-focused conglomerates. The discussion concluded with an analysis of international reactions to U.S. commercial space initiatives, noting that many countries, particularly Russia and the European Union, are resistant to the commercialization of space and have implemented restrictive regulations to limit private sector involvement.Next, we focused on the shift towards national sovereignty in space governance, highlighted by recent conferences on regulating lunar activities and space resources. Michael noted that while the U.S. participated in these conferences, it aimed to influence rule-making rather than comply fully. Marshall brought up Elon Musk's plans for AI data centers in space, including a potential IPO and a Pentagon proposal for a $4 billion AI center. Michael clarified that regulatory hurdles, rather than legal ones, would be the main challenge for such initiatives, while also cautioning about the potential for overhyped expectations similar to those seen with space resource laws. David inquired about efforts to extend environmental protection laws to space, to which Michael responded that while such attempts occur, they often lack specific legislative backing and have faced setbacks in recent court decisions.The Wisdom Team discussed tax incentives for space investment, with Michael noting that Florida had considered such measures and federal proposals existed previously. Marshall raised concerns about SpaceX's potential market dominance following its IPO, which Michael addressed by explaining that antitrust considerations would require government approval for monopolistic behavior, though he noted SpaceX's competition with other launch companies. Michael predicted that 2025 would be a transition year for space policy, moving commercial space to a higher priority, and anticipated continued steady progress in 2026, with over 100 launches expected from Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg that year. John Jossy mentioned the upcoming 60-day timeline for issuing guidance on American space nuclear power initiatives.Michael discussed the challenges of developing nuclear propulsion systems, citing the example of DARPA's project being abandoned. He explained that the new nuclear power directive from the administration aims to move initiatives forward, with multiple agencies involved in authorization processes. David raised concerns about Congress potentially being a stumbling block to space exploration efforts, given its current focus and past legislative conflicts. Michael noted the ongoing competition between NASA authorization acts and the CHIPS Act, suggesting that the White House might find a way to align these directives.Michael went on to explain that space settlement lacks regulatory infrastructure and requires a national space policy prioritizing it, which currently does not exist. He noted that the FAA's 2015 Commercial Space Launch Act was not fully implemented, particularly regarding space resources, and highlighted the need for Congress to provide clear authorization for such activities. Marshall raised a question about the relationship between SpaceX's Starlink revenue and NASA's budget, to which Michael responded that this shift aligns with Reagan's vision for commercial space, emphasizing private innovation surpassing government capabilities.Nearing the end of our program, we focused on the current state and future of national space policy, commercial space initiatives, and technological advancements. Michael noted that the Trump administration's first-term national space policy remains in effect. The Biden administration did not replace it. The Trump pro-commercial space stance continues to influence the industry. The team discussed the potential for reduced launch costs due to increased competition, with Rocket Lab's success highlighted as a significant player in the market. They also explored the implications of the Golden Dome initiative, emphasizing its potential geopolitical and defense implications, as well as the challenges it may face in the future. The conversation concluded with an examination of upcoming technologies, such as SpaceX's Starlink and its potential impact on global communication, and the importance of spectrum management in space policy.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Daily Dose of Hope December 17, 2025   Scripture – Acts 19   Prayer:  Lord, We come to you today with humble hearts.  As we venture towards Christmas, help us think less of ourselves and more about others.  Help us focus more on you, and less on our own wants.  It is our inclination to complain and whine.  Forgive us, Lord.  We need you.  More of you and less of me.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We have been on a great journey of reading the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are covering Acts 19.   Paul's extended time in Ephesus has obviously made a huge impact on the region.  Many people are coming to know Jesus, miracles are happening, and people are no longer participating in the local idol worship.  They aren't buying the trinkets!    Interestingly, the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus was considered, in its final form, to be one of the seven wonders of the world.  It was extraordinary feat of how human beings can create beautiful idols to try to replace the one true God.  If the worship of Artemis had been fulfilling and life-giving, then the Ephesian businessmen would have had nothing to worry about.  But the worship of idols, two thousand years ago and today, always leaves one feeling empty and wanting.   Paul preached the Word of God, taught about the salvation and abundant life that comes from walking with Jesus, and created a community of people who loved God and each other.  That was attractive to people who were desperate for something more.  I can't help but relate this same scenario to our society today.  What/Who are our modern Temples of Artemis?  Which idols have we sought after, leaving us feeling empty and wanting more from life?    Just a reminder: Jesus is still in the business of transforming hearts and lives!  Who in your life needs to know the abundant life that only comes from a living relationship with Jesus?  Who needs to experience a community of Christians who will love and accept them as they are?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Isaac emphasized that AI should be viewed as a tool to augment human creativity and learning, rather than a replacement for critical thinking. He suggested that professors adapt their teaching methods to account for AI's presence, such as conducting in-person exams. David shared his experience using AI for medical information, which led to complaints from doctors. Isaac advised that while AI can be a useful diagnostic tool, it should not replace professional medical advice. Both agreed that critical thinking and understanding the limitations of AI are essential skills in the modern world.Isaac went on to discuss the current state and future of space exploration, emphasizing the significant progress made in the last decade and expressing optimism about returning to the moon, whether through Artemis or private sector initiatives. He noted that while commercial involvement in space has increased, NASA remains crucial for fundamental research and large-scale projects without a clear profit motive. Isaac also highlighted the importance of learning from past missions and the need for careful planning, suggesting that while Mars missions could be feasible in the near future, they should not be rushed.Our Wisdom Team along with Isaac discussed space exploration plans and competition with China. Isaac emphasized the importance of making detailed plans for space missions, including a permanent moon base with features like a nuclear reactor and the ability to rescue astronauts. He downplayed concerns about China's space program, noting that competition can drive progress. The discussion also covered the size and staffing requirements for a moon base, with Marshall and Isaac agreeing that it should be larger than the ISS and have a higher ratio of robots to humans due to communication delays. This part of the conversation concluded with Bill asking Isaac about his views on the future direction of NASA, given the potential confirmation of Isaacman as administrator.Isaac suggested that NASA should focus on the moon mission as its primary goal, requiring strong leadership and centralization to motivate and align companies involved. He emphasized the need for NASA to shift its focus towards commercial development and experimentation, potentially separating it from military space operations. John Hunt proposed that China's potential moon landing before the U.S. could actually benefit the U.S. space program by creating a sense of competition and urgency, though Isaac noted the risks of complacency and the importance of maintaining a strong commitment to space exploration.Isaac and David discussed the potential for public-private partnerships to fund lunar exploration and the challenges of predicting commercial opportunities in space. They explored various options for lunar and space-based activities, including manufacturing, resource utilization, and energy production. Isaac emphasized the importance of real-world testing and innovation in low gravity, while David raised concerns about the energy requirements for AI and data centers, suggesting that space-based data centers could offer regulatory advantages. Both agreed on the need for diverse energy sources and technological advancement to address global energy shortages.The Wisdom Team discussed energy solutions, with Dr. Kothari and Isaac agreeing that molten salt reactors using thorium could provide a safe and scalable solution for both civilization's energy needs and data center requirements. Isaac emphasized the importance of increasing energy generation capacity across multiple technologies rather than focusing on efficiency alone, while David raised concerns about the difficulty of getting broad support for these solutions from policymakers. The discussion concluded with Isaac noting that while government agencies like NASA struggle with public relations, private space companies have shown more success in marketing space initiatives to the public and policymakers.The team next discussed strategies for promoting space and nuclear initiatives to policymakers, with Isaac highlighting the importance of personal engagement and storytelling to generate enthusiasm. Dr. Kothari proposed collaboration between NSS and TSS to present a unified pitch for space and nuclear programs to key figures like J.D. Vance's Chief of Staff. Isaac shared insights on the economic and strategic benefits of space exploration, emphasizing the need for realistic messaging to avoid a space bubble. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the potential impact of SpaceX's IPO on the U.S. economy, with Isaac suggesting it could stabilize after an initial fluctuation.Isaac and Marshall discussed the economic potential of SpaceX's Starlink, with Marshall highlighting its rapid revenue growth and potential impact on global telecommunications. They explored the challenges and opportunities of space settlement, with Isaac emphasizing the importance of creating space habitats for long-term human presence, while acknowledging the need for gravity and the potential for new ecosystems in space. Before ending, David inquired about the feasibility of space settlement and the necessity of knowing the gravity RX for children, to which Isaac responded that while humans currently require gravity, future solutions like cybernetic organisms or genetic modifications could provide alternatives.Isaac discussed the feasibility of space habitats, noting that while O'Neill cylinders might not be built this century, smaller habitats like Calpana could be more realistic. He expressed skepticism about Musk's plan for a Mars city by mid-century, questioning the need for biological self-sustaining settlements and emphasizing the importance of medical intervention for gravity-related issues. Isaac also highlighted the potential challenges of raising children in space and suggested that space habitats would likely start with small, specialized populations rather than large, self-sustaining cities.Isaac and Dr. Ajay discussed the feasibility of building a smaller lunar lander within 3-5 years, with Isaac expressing skepticism about meeting such a tight timeline due to the complexity and risks involved in space missions. They also debated the merits of building a lunar lander versus a space station, with Isaac advocating for a more robust approach that includes both options. David raised concerns about potential regulatory and economic challenges that could hinder space exploration efforts in the coming years.Isaac discussed the importance of space regulations, emphasizing the need to balance economic development with safety and environmental concerns. He highlighted potential issues with space advertising and the need for international cooperation in regulating space activities. The conversation also touched on nuclear waste management, with Isaac suggesting recycling radioactive materials and disposing of them in deep oceanic trenches as safer alternatives to space disposal.Isaac, the president of the National Space Society, discussed the organization's mission and encouraged listeners to join, emphasizing its inclusive nature and the opportunity to contribute to space exploration efforts. He reflected on the journey of space exploration, highlighting the importance of enjoying the process rather than solely focusing on destinations. Isaac also mentioned upcoming events, including the ISDC conference in McLean, Virginia, and discussed plans for future roadmaps and white papers on space-related topics.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Today's episode of STEM-Talk features a timely and wide-ranging discussion with Drs. Michael Griffin and Lisa Porter about NASA's plans to return humans to the Moon, the history of lunar missions, and how China's advances in space technology pose a serious threat to U.S. national security. IHMC founder and CEO Emeritus Ken Ford's interview with Griffin and Porter came 10 days before Griffin appeared before the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology to give testimony on China's advancements in space and the risks it poses for the United States. “We have squandered a 60-year head start on pioneering the space frontier to a nation that, without reason or provocation on our part, has chosen to become our nation's adversary,” said Griffin in his opening comments to Congress. In this episode, Griffin and Porter explain why it is critical for the U.S. to return to the Moon before China. They also argue that NASA's Artemis III mission to return to the lunar surface and establish a permanent base on the Moon is seriously flawed and should be scrapped. Griffin and Porter are co-founders and co-presidents of LogiQ Inc., a company providing high-end management, scientific and technical consulting services. Griffin's background includes roles as the former Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Administrator of NASA, the Space Department Head at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as well as Chairman and CEO of Schafer Corporation. Porter's background includes roles as the former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the founding Director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Associate Administrator for Aeronautics at NASA. Show notes: [00:04:44] Ken opens the interview by welcoming Mike back to STEM-Talk, who was a guest on Episodes 23 and 134. He also welcomes Lisa to her first appearance on STEM-Talk and asks her to talk about her decision to major in nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [00:08:50] Ken asks Lisa why she went to Stanford for a Ph.D. in physics. [00:10:43] Ken explains that Lisa was the founding director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), a department within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Ken asks about some of the challenges the American intelligence community faced that she addressed as director of IARPA. [00:16:15] Ken asks about Lisa's time working for Mike as Associate Administrator for Aeronautics at NASA, and how she came to accept that role. [00:18:07] Ken explains that when Mike became Undersecretary for Defense for Research and Engineering in 2018, he invited Lisa to become the Deputy Undersecretary for Defense for Research and Engineering. Ken asks Mike why Lisa was ideal for that role. [00:21:07] Ken explains that Mike and Lisa are working together again as co-founders and co-presidents of LogiQ Inc., a company that provides scientific consulting services. Ken asks Mike to give a brief overview of LogiQ's work. [00:24:44] Ken shifts the discussion to space exploration, noting that he wants to talk about Mike's 2024 congressional testimony on returning to the Moon, and a paper that he and Lisa published titled “A system architecture for human lunar return.” To begin the discussion, Ken asks why it is so important for us to return to the Moon. [00:29:11] Ken asks Mike and Lisa to explain why it is important for the US to be the first to return to the Moon in the context of China's ambition to send humans to the Moon and establish a permanent lunar presence. [00:33:24] Ken asks Mike and Lisa if they see the cancellation of the Apollo program as a mistake. [00:35:36] Ken asks Mike and Lisa to give an overview of the Artemis program. [00:41:45] Ken mentions the centrality of the Gateway in the Artemis plan, and the problem with making something that is already hard even harder for no good reason. [00:43:28] Ken mentions his concern that the focus on a Mars-forward approach might impede our success with the current Moon missions. [00:46:40] In Mike and Lisa's aforementioned paper, they propose a dual-launch lunar landing architecture, which is simpler than the current NASA architecture and presents lower risks to the crew. Ken asks Mike and Lisa to elaborate on this idea. [00:48:41] Ken asks Mike and Lisa what they think are some of the other technical and programmatic problems with the current Artemis plan. [00:52:31] Ken asks Mike and Lisa what NASA's response has been, as well as the response of others in the human space flight community, to their paper and recommendations for the Artemis mission architecture. [00:54:25] Ken explains that Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation and acting NASA administrator, has opened the door to some additional lander ideas in light of concerns that the two current contractors, Space X and Blue Origin, may not be ready in time for the current Artemis schedule. Ken asks if Lisa and Mike think this is a good idea or if they think it would further complicate matters. [00:59:25] NASA's current budget is around $24.9 billion dollars, approximately 0.4 percent of total federal spending. Ken notes at a time when China is increasing their investment in their space programs and launching several missions, NASA is facing a proposal to cut its funding by 24 percent to $18.8 billion. Ken asks Mike and Lisa for their thoughts on this. [01:03:13] Ken and Lisa continue Mike's discussion on the core purpose of NASA beyond science. [01:08:55] Ken and Mike reflect on Ken's observation that the U.S. is not as serious about space and the Moon as it was during the Apollo years, years that attracted the nation's best and brightest. [01:09:39] Ken asks Mike and Lisa their thoughts on the way that NASA is contracting more services in the development of Artemis, rather than funding a development program. [01:15:55] Ken wraps up the interview by commenting that he believes listeners will very much enjoy today's conversation.

The Space Show Presents Open Lines, Sunday, 12-7-25Quick recapThe program began with discussions about space-related topics including data centers in LEO, NASA's Artemis program, and orbital debris concerns. The conversation ended with our Wisdom Team talking about the geopolitical implications of returning to the moon, the challenges of space exploration priorities, and the disconnect between space technology and the general public.Detailed SummaryWe various space topics such as NASA's Artemis program and the appointment of Isaacman as an administrator, with David expressing skepticism about the program's future. John Jossy shared insights from discussions on space solar power and orbital debris concerns. We concluded with a brief mention of Isaac Arthur's show on AI and data centers in space, and Dr. Sherry expressing confidence in Sam Altman's ability to pursue such projects.We began with a discussion about AI and data centers in space, with David mentioning his contact at Stoke and the lack of media interest from the company. Ryan, a long-time visitor, was encouraged to become a $100 donor to join Zoom calls rather than using Zoom phone lines. I mentioned upcoming guests and topics, including Dr. Antonio Del Popolo discussing extraterrestrial life on December 26th and Dr. Mike Griffin returning to the show on Tuesday, Dec. 23. The conversation ended with a reminder about the importance of donations and sponsorships to support the program.The Wisdom Team discussed Jatan's Moon Monday blog and his poetry about space, with John Jossy recommending it as an excellent source of information. I proposed an off-topic space show program about the origins of dogs and wolves based on recent research, which Ajay and Philip supported, suggesting a connection to human adaptation for future space missions. This portion of the conversation ended with Ajay praising David's work and mentioning his own upcoming high-level government hearing related to nuclear technology and Russian missile developments, while David advised caution due to potential global listener conflicts.Our Wisdom Team discussed Ajay's upcoming meeting with Vice President Vance, including the security protocols and potential interactions. They also debated Jared Isaacman's appointment as NASA administrator, with concerns raised about his close relationship with SpaceX and the need for increased transparency regarding contractor performance. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the Artemis program, with Mike Griffin advocating for its immediate cancellation to develop alternatives, while others believed it should continue, particularly given SpaceX's human lander contract.The Wisdom Team discussed the U.S. lunar return strategy and potential competition with China. David and Michael expressed concerns that China might secretly aim to reach the moon earlier than their public timeline, potentially requiring a return to an Apollo-style approach. Bill noted that both SpaceX and Blue Origin had resubmitted more competitive lunar lander proposals. The discussion also touched on legal and treaty implications of a U.S. return to the moon, with Ajay explaining the vast size of the South Pole region and Peter inquiring about potential legal restrictions on U.S. presence.We moved on to discuss the geopolitical implications of returning to the moon, with Michael emphasizing the need to establish a presence there to prevent China from claiming sovereignty and potentially using it as a precedent for broader space claims. Ajay suggested focusing on infrastructure development rather than planting flags, while David highlighted the importance of the moon mission in maintaining U.S. influence and national security. The discussion touched on the trade-offs between pursuing the moon mission now versus waiting a few years for better technology, with Peter questioning the value of the current moon mission in light of other priorities like cislunar space development.The group discussed the challenges and priorities of space exploration, focusing on whether to prioritize a moon landing or orbital technology development. Michael and Ajay advocated for a moon landing as a more feasible and urgent goal within the decade, while David emphasized the need to confront China's aggressive space program and geopolitical influence. Peter raised concerns about the realism of these goals given Congress's limitations and the country's financial situation. The discussion also touched on China's space capabilities, including their reusable rocket program and plans for a lunar research station, as well as the potential for sustainable space activities like mining resources on the moon.We addressed SpaceX's potential IPO, with Elon Musk downplaying a recent Wall Street Journal article about the company's valuation. They debated whether Musk would give up control by going public, with Peter suggesting he could maintain control through a class of stock. The conversation then shifted to Starlink's pricing strategy and potential competition from Amazon's constellation. Finally, Peter raised the question of orbital data centers, discussing their potential advantages and the likely resurgence of nuclear power as a more cost-effective solution for data center power needs.The Wisdom Team discussed the feasibility and implications of placing data centers in space, with Ajay emphasizing the potential of advanced nuclear reactors on Earth as a more efficient and cost-effective solution. Michael highlighted China's plans for a data center constellation in sun-synchronous orbit, while Peter and others debated the economic viability and environmental impact of such projects. Our conversation mentioned Microsoft's refurbishment of Three Mile Island and the long-term vision of Sam Altman regarding the expansion of energy consumption beyond Earth's capabilities.We talked about the disconnect between space technology and the general public, with David expressing concern that the space community is out of touch with the everyday issues facing Americans, such as debt and inflation. Philip shared insights from a survey revealing low public knowledge about space, while Michael suggested focusing on the practical benefits of space technology in everyday life. Bill and others acknowledged the challenge of engaging the public in space issues, with Bill suggesting that technology is often taken for granted. The discussion highlighted the need to bridge the gap between the space community and the general public, though no concrete solutions were proposed.We promoted the idea of the importance of allowing different fields and individuals to continue their unique contributions without expecting them to understand or align with each other's work. Ajay emphasized that the progress of humanity benefits from the synergy of diverse efforts, including those of poets, artists, and sportspeople. Bill highlighted the need to avoid negativity around space exploration and noted that most people find it interesting, despite not fully understanding it. David expressed frustration over societal disconnect from space's potential benefits, while Michael shared an anecdote about law students showing interest in space law. The group also discussed the challenges of information overload and the increasing reliance on smartphones, particularly among children.

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we're diving deep into 1 Timothy chapters 1–3 — and what they reveal about living a sincere, Spirit-led life in a culture obsessed with visibility, influence, and spiritual performance. Whether you've had a platform or simply lead in your home, this message is for the woman who longs to walk in quiet strength, spiritual maturity, and God-honoring purpose.I share how the Apostle Paul's letter to Timothy speaks to modern women navigating curated social media feeds, charismatic false teachers, and the confusion of “truths” offered by New Age and self-help movements. We explore modesty, character, reverence, and why God's design for women isn't outdated — it's a call to something deeper, freer, and more beautiful.If you've ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or unsure where you fit in the church… or if you've been disillusioned by loud voices that lacked love — this episode will meet you right where you are and remind you that sincere faith still matters.What you'll learn in this episode:Why sound doctrine is an act of loveWhat modesty truly means (hint: it's about the posture of your heart, not just your clothing)The seductive influence of the Artemis cult in Ephesus — and its eerie parallels with modern-day feminine “spirituality”Why “good works” don't earn you salvation but reveal who you're walking withWhat Biblical leadership really looks like — even if you're never on a stageHow sincere women are the backbone of the church — not just the ones with microphonesWhy intercession matters and how to stand in the gap through prayerA redemptive reframing of passages often used to silence or shame women*Note* I misspoke at one point. I referenced 1 Timothy 3:13 when I meant to reference 1 Timothy 3:15. The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I'd love to hear what's on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you're sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you're just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you. Schedule through this link.

Join us as we interview Dr. Sandra Glahn, professor at the Dallas Theological Seminary, about her wonderful book, Nobody's Mother: Artemis of the Ephesians in Antiquity and the New Testament.  Nobody's Mother is a scholarly re-examination of the cult of Artemis of Ephesus and the cultural world surrounding early Christianity—especially the world behind 1 Timothy 2, a New Testament passage long used to restrict women's leadership. Were the Apostle Paul's writings in 1 Timothy 2 a response to the nature and power of the cult of Artemis?  Tune in as we explore this fascinating topic.Sean Marlon Newcombe hosts.

This week on History Rage, host Paul Bavill welcomes the brilliant mythologist and author Natalie Haynes, to unravel the tangled web of Greek mythology and challenge the male-centric narratives that often dominate our understanding of these ancient tales.Myth vs. Reality: Natalie passionately argues that the stories from ancient Greece are not as male-dominated as they are often portrayed. She encourages listeners to reconsider the powerful roles women play in these myths, particularly through figures like Medea and Hera, who defy the traditional expectations of their time.The Argo and Its Heroes: Dive into the legendary quest for the Golden Fleece as Natalie dissects the dynamics of the Argonauts. Are they truly a cohesive unit or merely a collection of egos? Discover the complexities of their relationships and the conflicts that arise as they embark on their perilous journey.Women in Mythology: Explore the surprising strength and agency of female characters in Greek mythology. Natalie highlights how goddesses like Athena and Artemis offer a stark contrast to the often flawed male heroes, challenging the notion that women were merely passive figures in these ancient stories.Hollywood's Take: The conversation takes a critical turn as Natalie examines the portrayal of Greek myths in popular culture, particularly in films like Jason and the Argonauts and Disney's Hercules. She reveals how these adaptations often strip away the complexity and richness of the original tales, reducing powerful female figures to mere side characters.Support History Rage on Patreon for exclusive content and early episode access at www.patreon.com/historyrage.Follow History Rage on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistoryRageTwitter: https://twitter.com/HistoryRageInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/historyrage/Buy the Book: No Friend to this House: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781529061543Listen to Natalie Haynes Stands Up For the Classics: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b077x8pc/episodes/playerFollow NatalieInstagram: @nataliehaynesauthorTwitter: @officialnhaynesBluesky: @nataliehaynes.bsky.social Stay Angry, Stay Informed - History Rage Hosted on Acast.

There is so much confusion over Paul's instructions about women in 1 Timothy 2:11-15. By examining the cultural and religious context of Ephesus, we can get a broader picture of what he had been trying to say. Culturally, Paul was addressing specific problems arising from the collision between Jewish synagogue practices, pagan Artemis worship, and early Christian communities. The passage about women being "saved through childbearing" is most likely a targeted response to former Artemis worshippers who needed proper theological education and assurance that Jesus, not Artemis (the goddess of midwifery), would protect them in childbirth.

The Space Show Presents Dr. Casey Handmer, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025Short Summary:The meeting focused on discussing the Artemis program's challenges and complexities, with particular emphasis on comparing NASA's current architecture with SpaceX's Starship capabilities for lunar missions. The group explored various technical and political considerations, including orbital refueling requirements, safety constraints, and the potential for China to establish a lunar presence before the U.S. They also discussed broader topics such as the feasibility of Mars missions, the challenges of powering data centers in space, and the need for NASA reorganization to remain competitive in the global space race.Detailed Summary:David and Casey discussed the challenges and complexities of the Artemis program, emphasizing the need for simplification and focusing on delivering only what is essential to achieve the lunar mission. Casey highlighted the importance of reducing complexity, similar to the Apollo era's lunar orbit rendezvous approach, and noted that congressional funding often prioritizes parochial interests over strategic goals. They also touched on the potential for China to establish a lunar presence by 2029, suggesting that the U.S. needs to accelerate its efforts to remain competitive.Casey criticized the current NASA architecture for returning to the moon, particularly SLS, Orion, and Gateway, arguing they are inefficient and costly, while Starship offers a more viable alternative. Phil challenged Casey's views, questioning whether halting funding for Orion and SLS is the right move, and they debated Starship's current capabilities, with Casey defending SpaceX's engineering expertise and Phil citing his own calculations showing Starship lacks sufficient delta-V for orbital flight. Marshall suggested that Test Flight 13 could demonstrate Starship's orbital capabilities, potentially resolving the debate.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed the comparison between SpaceX's Starship and NASA's SLS/Orion programs, focusing on orbital refueling capabilities and safety constraints. Casey argued that even if Starship demonstrates orbital refueling, NASA would continue funding SLS due to political reasons, while Phil suggested canceling SLS if Starship meets safety constraints and achieves 100+ ton propellant transfers. The discussion highlighted concerns about Starship's refueling requirements and success rates, while emphasizing the challenges of orbital refueling compared to satellite deployment. Bill noted that launch success probabilities might improve over time, but Casey emphasized the timing issues and marginal requirements in the Artemis program.The group discussed the differences between SpaceX's and NASA's approaches to space exploration, with Casey emphasizing the efficiency and innovation at SpaceX's Starbase in Texas. All discussed the challenges of boil-off in rocket fuel tanks, noting that while it is a concern for liquid hydrogen, it is not a significant issue for methane. They also explored the possibility of using Falcon Heavy instead of the SLS and Orion for lunar missions, with Ajay suggesting that Falcon Heavy could be a more cost-effective and safer option. Casey agreed, stating that using Falcon Heavy and Dragon could simplify and potentially reduce the risks of the Artemis program.The Wisdom Team discussed the Artemis program and its viability for returning to the moon, with Casey explaining that while many in the industry doubt the current approach, the program remains a government policy with congressional approval. David raised concerns about the lack of technical expertise at the highest levels of NASA and questioned how to effectively advocate for program changes, noting that Congress may not fully grasp technical details. Casey suggested that successful completion of the HLS contract by SpaceX could influence future decisions, while Marshall highlighted the potential for embarrassment and increased urgency if China achieves a moon landing before the US.Casey expressed concerns about China's potential lunar claims and the need for U.S. space dominance, while David inquired about the blowback from Casey's blog post criticizing NASA's Orion space capsule as garbage. Casey explained that the post was well-received and based on NASA's own internal watchdog reports, highlighting past NASA failures. Phil suggested creating an Office of the Inspector General for SpaceX and Blue Origin due to perceived lack of oversight, to which Casey responded that existing oversight bodies like NASA's OIG and FAA can already address issues with NASA-funded programs.The Wisdom Team discussed the accuracy of refueling estimates for the Starship rocket, with IG analysis showing 16 refuelings compared to SpaceX's estimate of 8-12. Casey noted that while most people working on the Starship program lack expertise in making these calculations, the actual number of qualified experts worldwide is less than 10. The discussion then shifted to alternative landers for the HLS program, including a potential intermediate human-rated lander from Blue Origin that would be larger than the Mark I but smaller than the HLS version, though Casey and others questioned its viability due to launch and fuel efficiency challenges.Next, we focused on the feasibility of human missions to Mars, with Casey explaining that while significant progress has been made since 2025, achieving a self-sustaining city on Mars would require approximately 10,000 additional Starship missions beyond initial landings by 2035. Casey noted that life support systems for Mars missions are technically feasible, citing nuclear submarines as a precedent, and suggested that while faster transit times would be desirable, they are not essential for mission success. The conversation concluded with a discussion about advanced propulsion systems, with Casey proposing antimatter propulsion as a potential future technology that could enable human exploration beyond Mars, though he acknowledged that such developments are not currently in the near-term plans of space agencies.David brought up questions about the feasibility of AI data centers in low Earth orbit, with Casey expressing skepticism and suggesting that ground-based solutions near Starlink gateways would be more cost-effective and efficient due to latency and infrastructure constraints. Ajay emphasized the potential of thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants for data centers, citing their lower cost and easier construction compared to space-based options. Casey countered that building enough nuclear reactors to meet the energy demands of AI data centers on Earth is unlikely, and highlighted the need for further computational analysis to determine the viability of space-based solutions.The Wisdom Team discussed the challenges of powering data centers, with Casey noting that while it's possible to build a 10 gigawatt data center in 18 months, there's no way to power it that quickly. Marshall suggested using Starlink satellites to provide computing power, while others emphasized the need for reliable communication infrastructure. The conversation then shifted to the future of the Starliner program, with Casey expressing doubt about its viability due to ongoing technical issues and financial losses. The discussion concluded with a brief exploration of the high costs associated with Mars sample return missions, which Casey attributed to the complex coordination between multiple agencies and contractors.Casey discussed the challenges at JPL, highlighting how bureaucratic inefficiencies and lack of incentives for cost-saving measures have led to expensive and delayed missions, such as the Mars Rover, which cost $2.4 billion and was 12 years late. He noted that JPL has laid off 1,500 people and is struggling due to reduced project work, while commercial space has taken over many traditional NASA roles. Casey emphasized that NASA and JPL lack fiscal discipline compared to private industry and suggested that the agency needs reorganization or new missions to remain relevant.Casey discussed the urgent need to enhance NASA's operational capacity to ensure U.S. strategic interests are not compromised by other nations, emphasizing that decades of neglect have created a dire situation that requires significant effort to address. He also shared his work on synthetic fuel production, inspired by the need for a primary materials supply chain on Mars, and highlighted the challenges and opportunities in developing this technology using solar power. The conversation included discussions about refining processes for metals and the potential for innovation in energy production, with Casey encouraging interested individuals to join his team or pursue their own ventures in this field.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

This podcast episode the fourth panel discussion of the day at Artemis London 2025, a session focused on the modernisation and liquidity needs of the ILS market as it grows, from our fourth cat bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in the City of London, UK, held on September 2nd 2025. The panel, titled "Modernisation and liquidity needs of a growing ILS market", was moderated by Jack Stone, Chief Executive Officer, Caterina Technologies, Inc.. He was joined by: Florian Steiger, CEO, Icosa Investments AG; Martin Dietz, Head of Diversified Strategies, Legal & General Investment Management; Simon Harris, Managing Director, Moody's Corporation; and Sina Thieme, Senior Director, Insurance Consulting and Technology, WTW. With the discussion focused on the modernisation and liquidity needs of the growing ILS market, our expert panellists called for more standardised data and the use of technology to automate manual processes and improve investment decisions.  The challenge of integrating ILS investments into standard fixed income investment processes was also highlighted, due to the differences seen between most asset classes and in cat bond and other ILS processes and structures.  The importance of transparency and robust exposure information for better secondary market trading decisions, as well as the availability of granular information was also discussed and highlighted as important.  The panel also debated the potential benefits of artificial intelligence in improving market processes, as well as the role of ratings in attracting broader investor bases. The consensus was that standardisation and transparency are crucial for continued and perhaps accelerating cat bond and ILS market growth and efficiency. Listen to the full podcast episode from our Artemis London 2025 conference to learn more about the modernisation and technology needs of the catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities marketplace as it grows.

SHOW 11-20-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT PEACE IN EUROPE.. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Ukraine Envoy Keith Kellogg Quits After Plan for US Peace Leaked. Anatol Lieven discusses a leaked Ukraine peace plan involving potential US legal recognition of Russian annexation of Donbass and Crimea, which would pave the way for lifting US sanctions. The plan requires Ukraine to yield the remaining Donbass slice and accept limits on its army size, although Ukraine is not required to formally agree. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 915-930 continued 930-945 Professor George Is Right: Principle Sustains American Conservatism. Peter Berkowitz reviews Professor Robert George's assertion that American conservatism's core principle is the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of each human family member. George insisted that the movement must unequivocally reject white supremacists and anti-Semites, a rebuke directed at the Heritage Foundation president's defense of Tucker Carlson. This mirrors William F. Buckley's efforts to purge extremism from conservatism. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. 945-1000 US Adds 119,000 Jobs in September, but Unemployment Hits Four-Year Peak. Chris Regal discusses consumer liquidity challenges alongside the early impacts of AI on the workforce. AI is currently displacing white-collar jobs like consulting, but physical displacement via robotics is coming. He notes concerns about an AI investment bubble but affirms confidence in major companies like Amazon and Microsoft. Guest: Chris Regal. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Upcoming Election in Honduras. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses Honduran fears that the current left-wing party, allied with Venezuela and Cuba, will attempt to steal the upcoming election.
