More delays in NASA's attempts to fly four astronauts around the moon. Today, NASA moved its grounded Artemis moon rocket from the launch pad back to its hangar for more repairs. The rocket has been on the launch pad for about a month in preparation for liftoff but has encountered an ongoing series of problems. The latest rocket has a malfunction in the helium pressurization system.   NASA Solar System Ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins joins Maria Shilaos and says there are a lot of tests that need to be done to make sure the rocket is safe for humans. He says that now, the Artemis II lunary fly-around will be post-poned until at least April.

Dragón divino en órbitaAvión espacial chino Shenlong inicia cuarta misión secreta en órbita baja terrestrePor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoChina lanzó el avión espacial reutilizable Shenlong a órbita baja en su cuarta misión experimental.China volvió a activar uno de sus proyectos más reservados en el espacio. El 6 de febrero de 2026 despegó desde el Centro de Lanzamiento de Satélites de Jiuquan, en el desierto del Gobi, el avión espacial Shenlong, cuyo nombre significa “Dragón Divino”. Es su cuarta misión orbital. Las anteriores comenzaron en septiembre de 2020, mayo de 2023 y septiembre de 2024. Duraron dos días, 276 días y 266 días respectivamente.Esta vez, las autoridades confirmaron el lanzamiento, pero no explicaron qué experimentos realiza en órbita baja terrestre, es decir, a unos 350 kilómetros de altura. Esa distancia es similar a la de la Estación Espacial Internacional. Sabemos que Shenlong es reutilizable y que puede permanecer meses alrededor de la Tierra. Pero la gran pregunta es sencilla: ¿qué está haciendo realmente allá arriba?Avanza en silencio y genera preguntasShenlong viajó al espacio a bordo de un cohete Larga Marcha 2F. Este mismo tipo de cohete lanzó en 2011 el laboratorio Tiangong-1. El vehículo quedó en órbita baja terrestre y comenzó una misión cuyo tiempo total aún no ha sido revelado.En 2024, el observador austríaco Felix Schöfbänker captó imágenes del vehículo con un telescopio de 35 centímetros de diámetro. Las fotografías mostraban estructuras desplegadas que podrían ser paneles solares o antenas. Las estimaciones indican que Shenlong mide cerca de 10 metros de largo. Es un tamaño parecido al del avión espacial estadounidense X-37B, que mide 8,8 metros.Según explicó Space.com, el gobierno chino define la misión como una prueba de tecnologías reutilizables para facilitar viajes espaciales de ida y vuelta más económicos en el futuro.El punto que genera debate es otro. En sus tres misiones anteriores, Shenlong liberó uno o más objetos en órbita. Esto no se supo por comunicados oficiales, sino por el seguimiento del ejército de Estados Unidos, empresas privadas de vigilancia espacial y astrónomos aficionados.Algunos de esos objetos demostraron capacidad de transmisión. Otros mostraron propulsión independiente. Además, Shenlong realizó maniobras de acercamiento y acoplamiento con esos objetos. Estas acciones se conocen como operaciones de encuentro y proximidad, o RPO.Las RPO permiten acercarse a un satélite para inspeccionarlo, repararlo o retirarlo. También podrían utilizarse para interferir con equipos de otros países. Esa doble posibilidad genera inquietud.De acuerdo con la fundación Secure World Foundation, citada por Economic Times, este tipo de maniobras tiene aplicaciones civiles y estratégicas. El problema es que la falta de información alimenta sospechas.Por ahora, no hay evidencia pública de que Shenlong esté diseñado como arma directa. Su tamaño limita la carga útil. Su bahía interna es reducida, similar al espacio de carga de una camioneta. Además, cuando reingresa a la atmósfera lo hace planeando a unos 321 kilómetros por hora. Esa velocidad es muy inferior a la de un proyectil balístico.Expertos consideran más probable que China esté probando sistemas autónomos, gestión térmica para misiones largas, generación de energía en órbita y técnicas avanzadas de encuentro con satélites.El contexto global también influye. Estados Unidos mantiene activo su propio avión espacial, el X-37B, que ya acumula ocho misiones desde 2010. Ambos programas comparten discreción.Según explicó PrimeTimer, la competencia tecnológica en órbita es cada vez más intensa. Las capacidades de permanecer meses en el espacio y maniobrar con precisión se han convertido en habilidades muy valoradas.Más transparencia podría reducir tensiones. Cuando un país no explica sus objetivos, otros imaginan escenarios extremos.El concepto de avión espacial reutilizable busca reducir costos frente a los antiguos transbordadores espaciales, que requerían enormes equipos y presupuestos. Hoy los vehículos son más pequeños, automáticos y diseñados para múltiples vuelos.Shenlong ya demostró permanencias superiores a ocho meses. Eso implica avances en protección térmica, administración de energía y resistencia de materiales.Las operaciones RPO también están siendo desarrolladas por otras potencias. Con miles de satélites en órbita baja, la capacidad de maniobrar con precisión ayuda a evitar colisiones y gestionar basura espacial.Al mismo tiempo, el espacio se ha convertido en un escenario de competencia estratégica. China avanza en su programa lunar con planes de llevar astronautas antes de 2030. Estados Unidos impulsa el programa Artemis. En ese contexto, cada avance tecnológico es observado con atención.El reto será establecer reglas internacionales que mantengan el uso del espacio como un entorno seguro y estable.China lanzó el avión espacial Shenlong en su cuarta misión. Sabemos que prueba tecnología reutilizable y maniobras avanzadas en órbita. Lo que no sabemos es el detalle de sus experimentos. ¿Te genera tranquilidad o inquietud este nivel de reserva?

This galaxy is believed to be composed of about 99% dark matter, making it one of the most dark matter-dominated galaxies ever detected. The findings, published in Astrophysical Research Letters, reveal that dark matter constitutes roughly 80% of the universe's total matter, and CDG2's faint presence was confirmed through observations of its globular clusters using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Space Agency's Euclid Space Observatory.Artemis 2 Mission Delayed AgainNASA has announced another delay for the Artemis 2 mission, which aims to return humans to lunar orbit for the first time in over 50 years. A helium leak discovered in the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's upper stage has prompted the agency to roll back the launch vehicle to the vehicle assembly building for repairs. This setback eliminates the potential for a March launch, with the next available windows opening in early April. The Artemis 2 mission will carry a crew of four on a 10-day journey to the Moon, including critical system tests and satellite deployments.Australia's Hypersonic Scramjet Launch ImminentAn Australian company is set to test its new hypersonic scramjet-powered aircraft, the Dart AE, before the end of the month. This innovative vehicle will utilize a 3D printed Spartan Scramjet engine, designed to operate at speeds exceeding Mach 5 with liquid hydrogen fuel. The mission, codenamed Cassowary Vex, will launch aboard a Rocket Lab electron rocket and aims to validate the scramjet propulsion system under real hypersonic flight conditions while producing zero carbon emissions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Research LettersBecome a supporter of this podcast:  https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

Today on Astronomy Daily: NASA's Artemis II mission is rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly Building today after a helium flow issue dashed hopes of a March launch. We cover the latest on what went wrong, what it means for the April window, and what happens next.   We also have five more stories to get through: Perseverance just gained the ability to locate itself on Mars with GPS-like precision — no Earth assistance required. Scientists have published a daring plan to intercept interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS using a solar slingshot manoeuvre, with a launch in 2035 and a 50-year journey to follow. China's mysterious Shenlong space plane is back in orbit on its fourth mission, and we still know almost nothing about it. We run through this week's packed launch schedule — including Rocket Lab's hypersonic scramjet test flight happening today, and Firefly Aerospace's return to flight on Friday. And we close with a genuinely beautiful piece of science: researchers have used supercomputers to solve a 50-year-old mystery about how elements move inside red giant stars.   In This Episode 00:00 — Introduction 01:30 — Story 1: Artemis II rollback — the latest 05:30 — Story 2: Perseverance gets GPS on Mars 09:00 — Story 3: The 50-year mission to chase 3I/ATLAS 12:30 — Story 4: China's Shenlong space plane — Mission 4 15:00 — Story 5: This week's launch schedule 17:30 — Story 6: Supercomputers solve the red giant mystery 19:30 — Outro   Find Us Website: astronomydaily.io Social: @AstroDailyPod Network: Bitesz.com Podcast NetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-space-news-updates--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

EL TESORO DE RENNES-LE-CHÂTEAU En lo alto de una colina perdida del Languedoc, hay un pueblo que parece dormido pero no lo está. Rennes‑le‑Château guarda un secreto que late bajo sus piedras desde hace más de un siglo. Todo comenzó cuando su párroco, Bérenger Saunière, encontró algo —nadie sabe qué— en un rincón oscuro de la iglesia. Desde entonces, su vida se convirtió en un desfile de riquezas imposibles, visitas nocturnas y silencios comprados. Dentro de la serie que estamos dedicando al misterio de Rennes-le-Château, con el escirtor, investigador y editor Oscar Fábrega, hablamos del supuesto tesoro que habría sido descubierto por el párroco Bérenger Saunière. CANCIÓN PARA LA DAMA DE LA CURVA En las noches más silenciosas, en carreteras que discurren como hilos perdidos en la oscuridad, algunos conductores aseguran haber visto una figura solitaria al borde del asfalto. Una joven inmóvil, pálida, casi irreal… que levanta la mirada justo cuando el coche se acerca. Es el “fantasma de la curva”. Un arquetipo del misterio que se repite en muchas carreteras y en todas las épocas. Vamos a hablar con Miguel Ángel Antequera, un compositor que usa herramientas de inteligencia artificial para crear sus temas musicales, que ha compuesto y producido una canción dedicada al fenómeno de “la dama de la curva”. En este progama presentaremos su canción. REGRESO A LA LUNA Han pasado más de cincuenta años desde que las huellas del Apolo quedaron impresas en el polvo lunar y, sin embargo, ese silencio plateado nunca dejó de llamarnos. Ahora, la humanidad vuelve a mirar hacia arriba. Artemis, la nueva misión lunar, promete abrir una puerta que creíamos cerrada: regresar a la Luna y quedarnos allí. Nuestro asesor científico, el Dr. Israel Ampuero, nos dio toda la información sobre el programa “Artemis” que en muy breve tiempo llevará la primera tripulación que se acerca a la Luna después de mas de 50 años de las misiones Apolo.

Is the 2026 "Year of the Fire Horse" manifesting as a global "Warhammer Horse"? In this episode, we decode the transition from the Nian to the Longma—Eastern dragon-horse entities of fire—and their startling parallels in modern current events. We analyze the esoteric symbolism of NASA's Artemis moon mission and its connection to a goddess related to horses and fire. Furthermore, we examine the escalating conflict with Iran through the lens of ancient archetypes, from the burning of Baal/Moloch effigies to the mythic battles of Thor and Apollo against the Great Serpent. From Ragnarök to Armageddon, learn why the horse remains the ultimate symbol of the final battle. Also learn the history of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse and origins of Chinese New Year symbolism.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Astronomy Daily — Season 5, Episode 45 | February 21, 2026 "Countdown to the Moon: Artemis II Crew in Quarantine" The Artemis II crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch (NASA), and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen (CSA) — have officially entered quarantine ahead of a targeted March 6, 2026 launch. With the second Wet Dress Rehearsal completed successfully on February 19th, humanity is just two weeks away from returning to the Moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. Anna and Avery break down everything you need to know about this historic mission. Also on today's episode: •  DARK MATTER UNDER PRESSURE: A new paper in Physical Review D claims its findings represent the first step toward the end of dark matter theory as we know it — researchers have found a plethora of baryonic (ordinary) dark matter signals that challenge the standard cosmological model. •  AURORA WATCH: A large coronal hole on the Sun has rotated into a geoeffective position, with fast solar wind expected to reach Earth around February 22nd. Skywatchers at higher latitudes should keep their eyes on the skies tomorrow night. •  MARS WATER UPDATE: New research suggests water ice on Mars may be accessible far closer to the equator than previously believed — a game-changing development for future human exploration of the Red Planet. •  SERIAL KILLER BLACK HOLES: Astronomers using James Webb Space Telescope data have confirmed that active supermassive black holes don't just shut down star formation in their own galaxies — they can suppress star formation in neighbouring galaxies too. •  SPACEX NEAR MISS: SpaceX successfully landed its Falcon 9 booster in The Bahamas for only the second time ever after launching 29 Starlink satellites — but someone at SpaceX admitted they 'almost did have a really terrible day.'

Bevor eine Artemis-Mission zum Mond startet, muss sie viele Tests durchlaufen. Beim probeweise Betanken der Rakete Anfang des Monats gab es ein Problem – daher fliegen frühestens im März wieder Menschen Richtung Mond. Lorenzen, Dirk www.deutschlandfunk.de, Sternzeit

Meanwhile, META LARGELY FAILS TO PROTECT KIDS FROM AI CHATBOTS, proving that their internal safety checks are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If that doesn't creep you out, AFTER RING PRIVACY BACKLASH over police partnerships, a LEAKED EMAIL SUGGESTS RING PLANS TO EXPAND ‘SEARCH PARTY' from finding lost dogs to total neighborhood surveillance. Of course, REDDIT, META, AND GOOGLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE DHS INFO on users critical of ICE, because why stand up for privacy when you can just comply?In the news, we look at OPENCLAW, OPENAI AND THE FUTURE as the project's founder joins the Borg, even though META AND OTHER TECH FIRMS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF OPENCLAW because it's basically a security hole that can click your mouse for you. Peak stupidity has arrived with RFK JR'S NEW CHATBOT giving rectal dietary advice, while AI COMPANIES BOUGHT OUT ALL OF WESTERN DIGITAL'S HARD DRIVES through 2026, meaning you can't have storage because the bots need it more. Even VALVE ADMITS STEAM DECK AVAILABILITY IS AFFECTED by this memory hoarding.

We're checking out MARK ROBER on Netflix, the return of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, and the trailer for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. If you need a soundtrack for the apocalypse, Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq has you covered with STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I and the Gen-X anthem I'VE NO MORE F*S TO GIVE!.Moving to APPS & DOODADS, OBSIDIAN TO NOTES is a $14 well spent, unlike CURSOR and VISUAL STUDIO CODE which are getting bogged down by slow models. APPLE'S AI PENDANT sounds like a watered-down Humane pin that relies on your phone to think, and APPLE PODCASTS AND VIDEO remains a pipe dream because bandwidth costs money. We've reached the point where THERE'S A GRIM NEW EXPRESSION: “AI;DR” for things not worth reading, and THERE'S A NEW TERM FOR WORKERS FREAKING OUT over being replaced—AIRD, or AI Replacement Dysfunction—which is basically the low-grade panic of being made obsolete by a machine that thinks bananas go in your bum.AT THE LIBRARY, we're thumbing through CLEAVE THE SPARROW, THE REGICIDE REPORT by Charles Stross, and Robin Ince being NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL.Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the Muppets are taking over with THE MUPPET SHOW and MUPPETS NOW. We catch the latest on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU and TOY STORY 5, while tracking the PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX to see if war is breaking out. For the kids, we look at a 3D PRINTER / ENTRY LEVEL FOR KIDS like the Bambu Lab A1, and for the nerds, A STAR WARS-CENTRIC RSS FEED and a NEAT IDEA FOR AN RSS READER, “CURRENT,” which lets news drift away like water under a bridge. We wrap it all up with some HORROR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES and IMPECCABLE COVERS OF 80S SYNTH MUSIC, because at least the 80s had better soundtracks than this AI-generated nightmare.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 22In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the formation of the universe's most enigmatic objects, explore the origins of Saturn's iconic rings, and get updates on NASA's Artemis 2 mission.Black Holes and Exotic Cosmic StructuresA groundbreaking study suggests that some of the universe's most exotic entities, including black holes and cannibal stars, may have formed just seconds after the Big Bang. Researchers from the International School of Advanced Studies propose that subatomic particles condensed into halos of matter, which then collapsed to create these fascinating cosmic structures. Their findings, published in Physical Review D, indicate that even in the earliest moments of the universe, complex physical phenomena were already taking shape, paving the way for our understanding of cosmic evolution.The Formation of Saturn's RingsNew research proposes that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, may have formed from the collision of two older moons, potentially linking this event to the creation of Saturn's spectacular ring system. The study, reported in the Planetary Science Journal, utilizes computer simulations to explore the dynamics of Saturn's moons and their interactions, suggesting that Titan's merger could explain its unique orbit and the age of the rings, estimated to be around 100 million years.NASA's Artemis 2 Mission UpdateFollowing the recent scrubbing of the Artemis 2 launch due to hydrogen leaks, NASA has made significant repairs and is preparing for another attempt. Engineers have replaced seals in the mobile launcher's umbilical area and are conducting further testing to ensure the rocket's readiness. With multiple launch windows available in March, the Artemis 2 mission aims to test key systems aboard the Orion spacecraft, setting the stage for future lunar exploration and the eventual return of humans to the Moon.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Review D, Planetary Science JournalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

Archippus was the son of Saints Philemon (Nov. 22) and Apphia (Feb. 15), and, like them, was a disciple of the Apostle Paul, who calls him "our fellow soldier" (Philm. 2). He and his father preached the Gospel at Colossae, and Archippus probably served as a priest for the church that gathered there at his family's house (Col. 4:17). Archippus' fervor in preaching the Gospel of Christ so angered the pagans that they seized him and brought him before the governor Androcles. When the Saint refused to sacrifice to Artemis, he was stripped, beaten, tormented in various ways, and finally stoned to death.

On Thursday's show: AI-focused data centers have increased the demand for memory chips that drive many electronics consumers use. And that is driving up prices we pay to get them. Technology columnist Dwight Silverman explains, and he offers advice for how to spot AI being used in campaign ads or social media posts.Also this hour: As Johnson Space Center continues preparations for the next Artemis mission and America's return to the moon, it reminds us that NASA's long-term vision includes using the moon as a stepping-stone for future missions to Mars. But there is a lot to consider about what human beings spending extended time on the moon or Mars will mean. We talk that over with Rice University biology professor Scott Solomon, author of Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds.Then, we discuss the role the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary plays in protecting birds that migrate through Texas.And, as Olympic hockey games near their pinnacle this week, we talk with Chie Chie Yard, the first Houston native to play hockey in the Olympics.

Einstein theorized the existence of black holes. Then in the 1960's we observed them for the first time. Anca Constantin says black holes occur throughout the universe, but we can only see the hungry ones. Also: Mool Gupta was in grad school for Apollo 11 in 1969. He watched with wonder as Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon. Now he's partnering with NASA in the Artemis program - a series of missions that could return astronauts to the moon as early as 2027. He helped develop a rover with laser technology that can identify minerals and detect evidence of alien life on the surface of the moon. Later in the show: 35 million years ago, what is now the Chesapeake Bay was struck by an asteroid as big as Manhattan. Rich Whittecar is part of the team that recently discovered the first terrestrial evidence of the impact. He says the blast was 200,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb.

Episode: S05E42 — Wednesday, February 18, 2026 Hosts: Anna & Avery Network: Bitesz.com Podcast Network   In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery cover six unmissable stories from across the cosmos. Here's what we're talking about in S05E42:   1. Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal Round Two NASA begins fuelling the SLS moon rocket tomorrow (Feb 19) for a second critical practice countdown. Engineers have replaced two seals and a filter after hydrogen leaks forced the February launch window to be abandoned. A clean test is required before NASA will commit to a launch date — currently no earlier than March 6. The four-person crew includes Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, each of whom will make history on the flight. 2. Moon Occults Mercury Tonight — Plus a Ganymede Transit Tonight, February 18, a thin crescent Moon passes so close to Mercury that observers in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia will see the Moon hide Mercury in a rare occultation. For everyone else, a stunning close conjunction is visible in the western sky just after sunset. Simultaneously, Jupiter's moon Ganymede transits the gas giant's face through the night. Two events, one evening. 3. Ariane 6 Launches Amazon Kuiper Satellites Europe's most powerful Ariane 6 configuration successfully launched 32 satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband constellation today — a direct competitor to SpaceX's Starlink. The launch highlights both the commercial ambitions of Amazon's internet satellite programme and the ongoing resurgence of European launch capability. 4. 3I/ATLAS Update: JUICE Data Downlinking Now ESA's JUICE spacecraft is currently transmitting data it collected on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS back to Earth — the downlink window runs February 18–20. If successful, this would be the closest-ever spacecraft observations of an interstellar object. Meanwhile, 3I/ATLAS heads toward a close Jupiter flyby in March that may trigger fresh outbursts. 5. How Titan Formed — And Why Saturn Has Rings New research from the SETI Institute proposes a single ancient catastrophe that explains multiple Saturn mysteries at once: a moon called proto-Hyperion collided with proto-Titan about 400 million years ago. The merger debris re-accreted into Saturn's inner moons and left behind the iconic ring system. The hypothesis also explains Saturn's unusual axial tilt, Iapetus's orbital inclination, and the surprising youth of Titan's surface. 6. Russia's 30-Day Mars Engine Rosatom's Troitsk Institute is ground-testing a nuclear-powered magnetoplasma engine that its developers claim could reach Mars in 30 days — compared to 8 months for chemical rockets. With a plasma exhaust velocity of 100 km/s, the system is part of a global race toward deep-space plasma propulsion also being pursued by NASA's VASIMR programme and Chinese researchers. A flight prototype is targeted for 2030.     Follow & Connect

"When things look bleak, stay true to your beliefs because hope and a positive perspective can move mountains." Episode Summary In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we chop it up with Casey Betzold, Director of Global Solutions at Brownell's, and dive into everything from gun laws across the US and the globe, to what makes American gun culture unique. We share listener stories, talk about building AR-15s, explore rapid-fire advice for new gun owners, and dissect the shifting laws in New Mexico and Virginia. The roundtable covers the challenges facing Gen Z, Supreme Court dynamics, and Casey's unique rocket-engine background as we celebrate NASA's Artemis moon mission. We wrap up with thoughtful discussions on political accountability, government shutdowns, and the importance of civil discourse—even when you disagree. Call to Action 1.

Key Takeaways Brownell's is expanding globally (now director of “Global Solutions”), offering government, LE, and international support with the Valor Program. Global gun culture is diverse—Switzerland and Saudi Arabia lead outside the US, but most countries don't have America's deep-rooted firearm rights. Building an AR-15 yourself helps demystify the platform, boosts confidence, and makes maintenance easier. US gun laws are always shifting—what starts in New York or California can ripple across the country. Stay engaged! Gen Z is the first generation experiencing gun violence as its leading cause of death, and digital connectivity may be impacting both academic and personal outcomes. Civil discourse is critical; we need to learn to “disagree without being disagreeable,” like Supreme Court justices do. NASA's Artemis moon mission is bringing modern smartphones into space—future selfies from the moon could finally silence conspiracy theories and inspire a new generation. Political accountability matters: both sides in government shutdowns should feel the consequences, not just essential workers. Guest Information Casey Betzold is the Director of Global Solutions for Brownells and has a deep understanding of international arms sales, as well as government and law enforcement needs. Keywords Gun Experiment podcast, Casey Betzold, Brownells, AR-15 build, gun culture, Second Amendment, Valor Program, international gun laws, HSM Ammunition, New Mexico gun law, Virginia gun law, Supreme Court, Gen Z gun violence, NASA Artemis mission, rocket engines, political accountability, government shutdown, firearms safety, gun parts, global firearms, American gun tradition, civil discourse, gun news, podcast episode.

Ephesians 2: From Death to Life — Remember Your Before Story (But God) In this message from Ephesians 2:1–3, the speaker urges the audience to open the Bible text and confront the reality of their “before story” apart from Jesus: being spiritually dead because of disobedience and sin. Using conversations with addiction recovery ministry leaders, he explains how recovery communities don't debate the seriousness of their past, while many Christians tend to edit their own stories, compare themselves to others, and place people in buckets. He connects Paul's words to the context of Ephesus in Acts 19, where believers turned from sorcery and idol worship, then emphasizes Paul's leveling statement, “all of us,” showing everyone shared the same condition outside of God. The sermon warns that forgetting why Jesus was needed leads to lost urgency and diminished evangelism. It highlights the turning point in the passage—“but God”—and the role of grace: salvation as God's gift, not earned by good works, described as both pardon from sin and power to obey. The message closes with two reflection questions—where listeners are still trying to earn what God has already given and where they are editing their story—and an invitation to changed life through Jesus, followed by prayer. 00:00 Wake Up, Journey: Phones Out & Open to Ephesians 2 01:02 A Recovery Ministry Story: No One Argues They Were ‘Dead' 03:19 Stop Editing Your Before Story: We're All in the Same Bucket 05:00 Read Ephesians 2:1–3 — ‘Once You Were Dead' 06:53 What ‘Dead' Really Means: More Than Physical or Eternal 11:15 Ephesus Context: Sorcery, Artemis, and the Power of Darkness 14:14 The Recovery Relapse Spiral: Layers of Death Unpacked 17:36 ‘All of Us' — The Level Ground & Why Forgetting Is Dangerous 20:48 The Turning Point: ‘But God' Mercy, Grace, and New Life 23:20 Grace Explained: Gift, Not Reward — Pardon & Power to Obey 25:54 Two Gut-Check Questions: Earning vs. Editing Your Story 29:13 Invitation to Jesus & Closing Prayer

NASA is currently addressing persistent hydrogen leaks and ground equipment failures hindering the Artemis 2 moon mission's preparation. Recent "confidence tests" intended to verify repairs to the Space Launch System rocket's fueling seals were only partially successful due to a faulty filter. Despite these technical setbacks, agency leadership remains optimistic about meeting a March launch window following an upcoming full-scale rehearsal. Administrator Jared Isaacman has indicated that while safety limits for leaks were recently relaxed based on new data, the fueling interfaces will likely require a complete redesign for future missions. These reports highlight the ongoing financial and technical challenges of maintaining the bespoke SLS architecture as NASA transitions toward more modern, reusable flight hardware.

Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Persistent hydrogen leaks delay the Artemis 2 mission; Zimmerman questions Administrator Isaacman's move to reduce reliance on private contractors, fearing it may stifle efficiency and innovation.1940. GODDARD. ROSWELL.

Clifford details the sentencing of British citizen Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison, arguing China is using the case to signal it will crush any dissent regardless of international prestige. Guest: Mark Clifford. Clifford condemns UK PM Starmer for failing to demand Jimmy Lai's release during his China visit, accusing the leader of prioritizing trade over the safety of British citizens. Guest: Ivana Stradner. Russia employs "TV BRICS" and information warfare to control narratives in the Global South, aiming to undermine Western influence and establish a multipolar world order without using kinetic force. Guest: Simon Constable. As Storm Nills approaches France, Constable reports on rising copper prices and volatile gold, while noting UK PM Starmer faces severe political pressure from opposition parties. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Persistent hydrogen leaks delay the Artemis 2 mission; Zimmerman questions Administrator Isaacman's move to reduce reliance on private contractors, fearing it may stifle efficiency and innovation.

Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Scientists link Enceladus to Saturn's aurora; radar data suggests a lava tube exists on Venus, and archives reveal Pluto retains an atmosphere despite its distance from the sun. Guest: Captain James Fanell (Ret.). With carrier groups near Iran and Venezuela, Fanell discusses the threat of anti-ship missiles in choke points and the necessity of naval power to deter adversaries. Guest: Charles Ortel. Ortel highlights strong private sector growth in Malaysia and Indonesia, contrasting it with China's economic struggles and the state's "national team" intervening to prop up markets. Guest: Charles Burton. A mass shooting shocks British Columbia; tensions rise over the Gordie Howe Bridgeownership as Canada seeks to diversify trade away from the U.S. amid protectionist threats. Guest: Charles Burton. Canada lowers tariffs on Chinese EVs to court Beijing; Burton warns this "strategic partnership" ignores security risks regarding data collection and Chinese influence operations. Guest: Craig Unger. Unger explains how Trump's 1980 Commodore Hotel deal involved purchasing TVs from a KGB front. This transaction reportedly initiated contact with Russian intelligence, who identified Trump's vanity and greed as ideal traits for recruitment. Guest: Craig Unger. Trump's 1987 Moscow trip, arranged by the KGB, was followed by newspaper ads criticizing U.S. alliances. Unger claims these ads, echoing Soviet talking points, combined with real estate dangles to seal the recruitment deal. Guest: Craig Unger. Unger highlights two women with Russian intelligence ties who worked for Jeffrey Epstein. He suggests Epstein's operation gathered "kompromat" on elites and questions why the FBI failed to investigate these foreign intelligence connections. Guest: Craig Unger. An interview by a Russian diplomat's daughter released post-election served as a reminder of Trump's recruitment. Unger discusses missing Epstein tapes, potential disinformation, and Putin's continued influence over Trump's foreign policy decisions.
