The Freddy Jones Band's music has reached new heights – literally. Their song "In a Daydream" was recently played on the NASA Artemis two mission, and we're joined by bassist Rich Ross to talk about this incredible opportunity. This episode is a unique conversation about the power of music to transcend time and space. The Freddy Jones Band has been making music for over thirty years, and their hit song "In a Daydream" has become a staple of their live shows. But what happens when that song is played in space? We explore the story behind this unexpected collaboration and how it's impacted the band. Rich shares the story of how the band's singer, Marty, wrote the song as a young man, looking out the window, and how it's connected with people all over the world. We also hear about the band's history, their experiences, and how this opportunity has opened up new doors for them. From the military to the music industry, we're taking a journey with the Freddy Jones Band. Join us as we dive into the story of how music can bring people together, even in the most unexpected ways. Listen to the full episode to hear the band's amazing story and learn more about their music.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Susko, a Martian geologist working for a NASA contractor is our guest. He builds and operates cameras for space missions, including a visible-light camera called MACIE (Mars Color Imager) that photographs the Martian surface at various scales and resolutions.   Key points discussed: Moon before Mars. The Moon is a mandatory stepping stone — everything from Apollo to the ISS has been about learning to live and work in space before attempting Mars. Going straight to Mars carries too much risk. Historical context. Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo were proof-of-concept missions. The Saturn V rocket remains the gold standard. Retiring it in the 70s (and the engineers and facilities with it) was a costly decision NASA has been recovering from ever since. The rocket equation problem. The vast majority of fuel is spent just escaping Earth's gravity well. Every extra kilogram of payload requires exponentially more fuel, making heavy-lift missions extremely difficult. Today's rockets. Three heavy-lift vehicles are currently in play: NASA's SLS, SpaceX's Starship, and Blue Origin's New Glenn. All three are involved in Artemis. Artemis mission architecture. The plan involves multiple launches, orbital rendezvous and docking between the Orion capsule and the Starship lunar lander (or Blue Moon variant), new spacesuits from a private aerospace company, and astronauts landing near the lunar south pole. Artemis milestones so far. Artemis I (2022, uncrewed) flew around the Moon and successfully re-entered Earth's atmosphere. Artemis II will fly crew around the Moon. Artemis III will attempt the first crewed landing in decades. A first Moon landing in roughly 2–3 years is the current plan, though delays are likely. Target: lunar south pole / Shackleton Crater. The south pole is almost permanently shadowed and likely harbors water ice — a critical resource for long-term habitation. The VIPER rover (using ground-penetrating radar) is being sent to prospect for these resources. Long-term goal. Build permanent lunar infrastructure to support human habitation — a "Moon base" — as the launchpad for eventual Mars missions. Safety. The guest emphasizes not rushing; the Apollo program's near-perfect safety record shouldn't breed complacency, especially given tragedies like the Space Shuttle Columbia.

This weekend's Astronomy Daily wraps up the biggest stories from across the cosmos, starting with two completely fresh discoveries — a 1976 ocean rock that's turned out to hold atomic-scale proof of an ancient neutron star collision, and a record-breaking rocket launch from Europe's Ariane 6. Then we wind back through the week for our four biggest headlines: a new crew for Artemis III, JWST's salty 'Pink Planet' discovery, an update on the daring Swift Observatory rescue mission, and China's Tianwen-2 closing in on its target asteroid.   Story 1: A Kilonova's Fingerprint, Found in a 1976 Ocean Rock •       A rock sample dredged from the Pacific seafloor in 1976 has been found to contain a few hundred atoms of plutonium radioisotopes. •       The plutonium originated from a kilonova — a collision between two neutron stars — that occurred over 100 million years ago. •       Stellar debris from the merger settled to Earth and was slowly incorporated into a ferromanganese crust on the ocean floor. •       Isotope ratios provide the strongest physical clues yet to what created the elements and roughly when the merger occurred. •       Study published 18 June 2026.   Story 2: Ariane 6 Smashes Its Own Heaviest-Payload Record •       On 17 June 2026, an Ariane 64 rocket launched 36 Amazon Leo satellites from French Guiana (mission VA269 / LE-03). •       First flight of new P160C solid boosters — about a metre longer than the previous P120C, holding up to 156 tonnes of propellant each. •       Boosters deliver roughly a 10% performance increase, raising Ariane 64's LEO capacity to approximately 22 tonnes. •       The mission broke the 13-year record for heaviest payload ever launched by an Ariane rocket, previously held by the 2013 ATV 'Albert Einstein' resupply flight. •       Eighth Ariane 6 launch overall; 100th Amazon Leo satellite deployed by Arianespace.   Story 3: Artemis III Crew Revealed •       NASA announced the Artemis III crew on 9 June 2026 at Johnson Space Center: Commander Randy Bresnik, Pilot Luca Parmitano (ESA), and Mission Specialists Frank Rubio and Andre Douglas, with Bob Hines as backup. •       The Artemis II crew (Wiseman, Glover, Koch, Hansen) symbolically passed their lunar baton to the new crew. •       Artemis III is a two-week test flight in low Earth orbit to test docking procedures between Orion and commercial landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin. •       Targeted for launch as early as late 2027, ahead of a planned lunar surface landing in 2028. •       Will be Andre Douglas's first spaceflight.   Story 4: JWST Cracks the 'Pink Planet' Mystery •       JWST has confirmed salt clouds in the atmosphere of GJ504b, the 'Pink Planet,' located 57 light-years away. •       First direct evidence of salt clouds on a cold substellar companion object, a phenomenon theorised 15 years ago. •       At approximately 550°F, GJ504b is the coldest companion object ever directly imaged. •       Its true nature remains uncertain — it may be a giant planet or a brown dwarf. •       Research led by a Northwestern University team.   Story 5: The Swift Rescue Mission Heads for the Pacific •       NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (orbiting since 2004) faces premature reentry due to orbital decay accelerated by recent solar activity. •       Katalyst Space Technologies' LINK robotic servicing spacecraft will attempt to grapple and boost Swift to a safer ~600km orbit. •       LINK launches on a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket, carried by Stargazer, the last flying Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. •       Stargazer departed NASA Wallops Flight Facility on 18 June 2026, en route to Kwajalein Atoll via California and Hawai'i. •       Launch targeted for 27 June 2026; if successful, it will be the first capture of an unprepared US government satellite by a commercial vehicle.   Story 6: Tianwen-2 Closes In on Kamo'oalewa •       China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft, launched May 2025, completed orbital insertion at near-Earth asteroid Kamo'oalewa on 7 June 2026. •       Amateur radio trackers in Germany detected fine ion-engine course-correction burns between 11–14 June 2026. •       Rendezvous and sample collection are expected around 4 July 2026. •       Kamo'oalewa is a 40–100 metre quasi-satellite of Earth; its origin (possibly a lunar fragment) remains scientifically debated. •       After sample return, Tianwen-2 will travel on to rendezvous with comet 311P/PanSTARRS in 2035.Become 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.

What happens when astronauts, spacecraft, or future lunar settlers need help and there's no communications network to call on?    In Episode 3 of Are We There Yet?, Tamara Bond-Williams speaks with Toni Spatola, Chief Commercial Officer of Filtronic, about the communications and navigation infrastructure that may enable safe operations beyond Earth orbit.    Using the Artemis II communications blackout as a starting point, the conversation explores how governments and industry are building the communications, positioning, and navigation systems that future lunar missions may depend upon.    If communications infrastructure is a prerequisite for safe operations, it may also become one of the foundational investments and service sectors of the emerging Space Safety Economy.    Sponsored by the American Space Exploration Children's Trust Fund. 

When Artemis II lifted off this past April, marking humanity's return to the Moon, people across the world were captivated. It was a triumph decades in the making, but also shaped by painful loss. In this episode of Tiny Matters, we trace the legacy of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster on its 40th anniversary, unpacking what went wrong both scientifically and organizationally, and how the event necessarily helped reshape NASA's safety culture. We hear firsthand from astronaut Terry Hart, who flew on Challenger less than two years before the accident, and from NASA's acting Chief of Safety and Mission Assurance, Nathan Vassberg, about how Challenger — and later, Columbia — reshaped the way NASA thinks about risk, and how those lessons were applied to Artemis II. We also hear from Vanessa Bentley, professor of applied ethics who teaches a course dissecting the conflict between managers and engineers that led to the tragedy.Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

What happens when mythology meets astrophysics, and the stars become storytellers? In this episode of The Podcast With A Thousand Faces, JCF's Joanna Gardner sits down with Dr. Moiya McTier - an astrophysicist, folklorist, author, and science communicator whose work bridges the worlds of science, story, mythology, and creativity. Since breaking barriers at both Harvard University and Columbia University, Dr. McTier has given hundreds of talks around the world, helped design museum exhibits, consulted on projects with Disney, and become a compelling voice helping people reconnect wonder, metaphor, and meaning with the cosmos. She is also the host of the astronomy podcast Pale Blue Pod and the author of the upcoming book Mothers of Invention. Together they explore Joseph Campbell's influence on her work, the mythic resonance of the Artemis II mission, the role of metaphor in both science and myth, and what creativity can teach us about being alive in an increasingly technological world. Thoughtful, expansive, and full of wonder, this conversation invites us to reconnect with curiosity, imagination, and the shared human experience beneath the stars.

In April, the four crew members of NASA's Artemis II mission were the first humans to ever glimpse something that cannot be seen from Earth—the so-called dark side of the moon. The mission's commander, the former Navy captain Reid Wiseman, is fifty years old, which also makes him the oldest person ever to travel beyond low Earth orbit. Wiseman sat down recently with the New Yorker contributor David W. Brown. They talked about the challenge of NASA returning to the moon after many decades, Wiseman's struggle to parent his two daughters while training, and the strangeness and beauty of returning to Earth. “One thing that really did surprise me was how quickly Earth gets so small out the window,” Wiseman explains. “It's like a fingernail, almost; the size of a quarter. It's just impossibly tiny out there. There's a little tiny super-bright crescent of an Earth.”  Further reading and listening:  “The Leader of NASA's Artemis II Mission Is Still Moonstruck,” by David W.

Today NASA introduced the crew for Artemis III, and after the female astronaut from Artemis II became a rock star it was noticeable that the crew for III was all male. That prompted Jason to ask - in our zeal to get rid of DEI, have we left women behind?

Tras cinco décadas, la NASA ha puesto en marcha la primera misión tripulada del programa Artemis con el objetivo de orbitar alrededor de la Luna sin alunizar, como prueba para futuros aterrizajes y para preparar misiones a la superficie lunar. La misión está diseñada para validar la nave Orión, el cohete SLS y los sistemas de soporte vital en el entorno espacial, además de preparar, a más largo plazo, un posible viaje a Marte. La misión supone un paso clave para demostrar que la infraestructura del programa Artemis puede llevar humanos de forma segura más lejos que nunca y preparar una presencia sostenible en la Luna. Es la primera misión tripulada a la Luna desde el Apolo 17 de 1972. El regreso humano a la órbita lunar significa mucho más que “volver a la Luna”: es una prueba de que la exploración tripulada más allá de la órbita terrestre baja vuelve a ser posible y útil. Representa un salto técnico y simbólico: técnicamente, permite comprobar la nave, las comunicaciones, la protección frente a radiación y el control de la misión en condiciones reales; simbólicamente, recupera una capacidad que la humanidad no ejercía desde hace más de 50 años. No se trata de repetir Apolo: ahora el objetivo es construir continuidad. La misión está pensada para generar datos, imágenes y experiencia operativa que ayuden a decidir dónde y cómo volver a la superficie lunar de forma más durable. Es importante porque la órbita lunar es una “zona de pruebas” estratégica entre la Tierra y la Luna. Desde ahí se ensayan trayectorias, se estudia el entorno espacial y se prepara la infraestructura que hará posibles bases, ciencia y exploración a largo plazo. La principal diferencia tecnológica es que Orión está pensada para operar como una nave digital y modular para el espacio profundo, mientras que Apolo era una cápsula analógica diseñada con la electrónica y la computación de los años 60. Orión incorpora sistemas modernos de soporte vital, navegación, comunicaciones con la Red del Espacio Profundo y una arquitectura preparada para misiones más largas y seguras. Apolo fue creada para llevar tres astronautas a la Luna con tecnología de computación muy limitada y fuerte dependencia del control manual y de tierra. Orión, en cambio, integra software y automatización más avanzados, una cabina más habitable y sistemas pensados para probar operaciones de proximidad, retorno libre y vuelos de larga duración. Orión mejora mucho el soporte vital: la NASA destaca que Artemis II sirve para comprobar que sus sistemas críticos pueden mantener a la tripulación en misiones de mayor duración. Eso incluye control de aire respirable, eliminación de dióxido de carbono y vapor de agua, y validación del comportamiento de la nave durante ejercicio y sueño, algo mucho más exigente que en Apolo. Apolo dependía de sistemas de guía menos potentes y de una red de seguimiento más limitada. Orión usa navegación y comunicaciones diseñadas para el espacio profundo. Aporta seguimiento de trayectoria, correcciones de rumbo, telemetría y comunicaciones de voz y vídeo. Sin esa red, la nave perdería precisión y la tripulación quedaría con menos apoyo en momentos críticos, especialmente durante maniobras cerca de la Luna. Orión puede gestionar navegación, orientación, control de sistemas de a bordo y muchas secuencias de misión con mayor autonomía que Apolo. Eso baja la carga de trabajo de la tripulación y ayuda a manejar mejor situaciones rutinarias o repetitivas. Apolo funcionaba con sistemas mayoritariamente analógicos y con una automatización mucho más limitada. Por eso los astronautas tenían que tomar decisiones y realizar correcciones con más intervención directa, especialmente en fases críticas de vuelo. La diferencia no es “máquina contra humano”, sino “máquina asistiendo al humano”. Orión está diseñada para que la automatización sostenga las operaciones normales, mientras la tripulación conserva autoridad para intervenir si hay una anomalía, una corrección de trayectoria o una maniobra delicada. La computadora de guiado Apollo tenía limitaciones claras ante fallos de software: su capacidad era muy baja, así que cualquier consumo extra de ciclos podía saturarla, y aun así estaba diseñada con prioridades para proteger las tareas críticas. En Apolo 11, por ejemplo, las alarmas 1201 y 1202 aparecieron por sobrecarga, pero el sistema pudo recuperarse porque descartó tareas no esenciales y mantuvo el guiado básico. El AGC trabajaba con muy poca memoria y un procesador modesto, así que no podía “absorber” muchos errores a la vez. Cuando el software o los periféricos generaban demasiada carga, el ordenador entraba en estado de alarma o reinicio, y eso dejaba muy poco margen para corregir problemas complejos en tiempo real. Su punto fuerte no era evitar todos los fallos, sino recuperarse de algunos de ellos. Tenía control de prioridades, podía reiniciar sin perder la memoria crítica y estaba pensado para seguir ejecutando las tareas esenciales incluso si otras fallaban o se bloqueaban. El problema era que, si el fallo afectaba a una función crítica o se repetía demasiado, la tripulación podía quedarse con una máquina muy limitada y con poco tiempo para reaccionar. En Orión, la intervención manual está pensada como respaldo y supervisión, no como modo principal de vuelo. La tripulación puede tomar el control cuando una secuencia automática no encaja con la situación real, cuando hay una anomalía o cuando se necesita ejecutar una maniobra delicada con criterio humano. Si falla el computador principal durante una reentrada, el procedimiento real suele ser pasar a control de respaldo y ejecutar la secuencia de reentrada con ayuda de la tripulación y del software redundante, no “pilotarla a ciegas” con una sola computadora. En Orión, la arquitectura está pensada para degradarse con seguridad, así que la intervención manual existe precisamente para recuperar control si la automatización principal deja de responder. En Artemis II se ha tenido en cuenta lo cotidiano dentro de una nave lunar: la comida consiste en tortillas en lugar de pan para evitar migas flotando en microgravedad y la tripulación usa toallitas, jabón sin aclarado y champú seco o de enjuague mínimo. El lanzamiento tuvo lugar el 1 de abril. La misión tuvo una duración de 10 días y llevó a la tripulación más lejos de la Tierra que cualquier misión tripulada anterior (rompiendo el récord del Apolo 13), reingresando en la atmósfera terrestre a una velocidad récord de aproximadamente 40.000 km/h. Artemis III es la misión tripulada prevista por la NASA dentro del programa Artemis, cuyo objetivo inicial era llevar a astronautas a la Luna, pero que ahora la NASA describe como una prueba de encuentro y acoplamiento en órbita terrestre con módulos de aterrizaje lunares comerciales, cuyo lanzamiento está previsto para 2027. La NASA afirma que la misión llevará a cuatro astronautas a bordo de la cápsula Orión, lanzada desde el Centro Espacial Kennedy a bordo del cohete SLS, y pondrá a prueba el acoplamiento con uno o ambos módulos de aterrizaje de SpaceX y Blue Origin. Los planes iniciales se centraban en un alunizaje en el Polo Sur de la Luna, pero la NASA actualizó la arquitectura de la misión a principios de 2026 para que el primer alunizaje de Artemis tuviera lugar, en su lugar, en la misión Artemis IV. Artemis IV es la cuarta misión planificada del programa Artemis de la NASA y, con el plan actual, será la primera misión del programa en llevar astronautas a la superficie lunar desde Apolo 17. La fecha objetivo más reciente es principios de 2028. La misión llevará a cuatro astronautas en Orión, lanzados por el SLS desde el Centro Espacial Kennedy, hasta la órbita lunar. Allí, dos tripulantes descenderán a la Luna, pasarán aproximadamente una semana en la región del polo sur y luego volverán a Orión para regresar a la Tierra.

This week week we host special guest NASA Flight Surgeon Doctor David Alexander. Dr. Alexander will tell us all about the Artemis II flight as well as the upcoming Artemis 3, 4 and 5 missions!

Cincuenta años es mucho tiempo. Fuimos a la Luna en 1969 y de repente… nada. ¿Qué pasó? En este episodio te contamos todo — desde los aspectos técnicos del programa Apollo que hicieron posible una de las hazañas más grandes de la humanidad, hasta las razones reales por las que pasaron décadas sin que nadie volviera. Presupuestos, política, ingeniería y decisiones que costaron carísimo.Y luego llegó Artemis. Te explicamos cómo funciona, qué lo hace diferente al Apollo, qué problemas técnicos tuvo que resolver antes de despegar y por qué este regreso a la Luna no fue tan sencillo como muchos pensaban. Si siempre quisiste entender de verdad cómo funciona todo esto sin que te hablen como si fueras ingeniero, este episodio es para ti.

The New Glenn rocket just blew up on the launch pad, and host Matt Trump, a physicist who grew up watching every Apollo mission, has been waiting his whole life to give this talk. In this episode, Matt walks through the full arc of American spaceflight from Project Mercury through Apollo 17, Skylab, and the slow cancellation of missions that left astronauts reading the want ads. He traces America's psychological retreat from space through pop culture, from Star Wars arriving in 1977 as nostalgia rather than aspiration, to his surprising reread of Terms of Endearment as the greatest astronaut movie Hollywood never meant to make. He also covers the Challenger and Columbia disasters, the space shuttle era's trade of heroism for routine, and what the Artemis II moon flyby and private space companies mean for where we go next.

Let's go to space!!!! This week, we're diving into the cutting edge of AI in space with Pratish Shah of Aitech. Pratish and I discuss Aitech's IQSat -  the world's first AI-enabled picosatellite constellation platform, and how the shift to AI in space computing is changing the economics and timeline for collecting and analyzing data beyond Earth. We'll also cover the immense challenges of integrating high-performance AI into a harsh environment, the emerging capabilities from constellations like IQSat, and Aitech's essential role in NASA's Artemis II mission. 

The Rowan Report is a weekly newscast that brings you a recap of the week's top headlines. This week's edition reports on the launch of the Artemis II spacecraft and Iran warns of more attacks on the U.S.

If you haven't heard, NASA's Artemis II mission was a big success. That was due in no small part to the expertise of KBR's people. In this episode, you'll hear from two KBR team members and NASA flight controllers, Tess Caswell and Jaclyn Kagey. Listen as they talk about what drew them to careers in space, their hopes for lunar exploration, their vital roles in Artemis II and future Artemis program missions, and much more!

How do distant galaxies form? If you have two distant clouds of hydrogen, why does one turn into a star and another doesn't? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Erika Hamden, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Arizona. If Erika looks familiar, that might be because her TED Talk or “New Frontiers,” the TV show she hosts on Arizona Public Media. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, Artemis II, our first manned mission around the moon since 1972. Chuck, Allen and Erika share their excitement watching the mission, and especially the landing, while we watch the “only good video of the moon ever taken with a phone” that Reid Wiseman shot on his iPhone. Dr. Hamden tells us about her research into how distant stars and galaxies form. To fill in the blanks of this cosmic puzzle, she observes hydrogen in its elemental or molecular form – not looking at the stars themselves, but the emissions from hydrogen atoms. You'll learn about star formation in our galaxy and how Erika discerns the moment that a new star “first turns on.” Then it's time for our first audience question. Emma B. asks, “How many galaxies are there?” Erika says that in the observable universe, it's an outrageously large number, probably hundreds of billions or more. We take a look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image, which reflects a “tiny, tiny part of the sky,” where every dot except for the 3 stars is a galaxy. And that's just the universe we can see. Chuck asks Erika to tell us about her book, “Weird Universe: Everything We Don't Know about Space (and why it's important).” Professor Hamden shares her belief that anyone can understand anything if it's explained the right way to them. She talks about a poem by Rebecca Elson called “Responsibility to Awe” and the responsibility scientists have to share the wonders of the world with everybody. For our next audience question, Ava asks, “What is the craziest job in Astronomy that you have seen AI take over from humans?” Erika talks about using LLMs to review the digitized photographic plates of stars and the massive amount of data from the Vera Rubin Observatory, and also which activities still require human creativity. Speaking of creativity, it turns out that before becoming an astrophysicist, Erika got a diploma at Le Cordon Bleu in London and had a career as a professional chef. She still loves to cook and shares her recipe (below) for the Swedish-style cardamom buns she shows us in the episode. Finally, before we go, we congratulate Emily on recently being awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. She shares some wisdom and advice she's learned on her journey that she also tells her students, but according to her it's a bit “cheesy” so we'll let her tell you in the show. If you'd like to know more about Dr. Hamden, you can keep up with her research, follow her on her social media accounts, and find out about her book by visiting her website. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.   Erika's Cardamom Bun Recipe You can find the original recipe here on Cecilia Tolone's Substack. Erika's Modifications: “My changes are that I add more milk- about 75 grams more, because American flour is drier and Tucson is especially dry! And I played around with adding chiltipin flakes (a local, very spicy pepper) to the filling to make it kind of spicy. It's great! Finally, I use whole cardamom seeds from Penzey's that I grind before putting in.”   Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Artemis II end of mission splashdown. – Credit: NASA/ Bill Ingalls.

One of the most commonly asked questions about living and working in space is where and how the astronauts sleep. Watching the astronauts set up their sleeping arrangements on the recent Artemis II mission around the moon got us thinking about this topic again, so we're revisiting a favorite episode from 2022. Sleeping in space goes back almost as far as there have been people in space (specifically, a cosmonaut who caught some shuteye in 1961). Astronauts have slept in capsules, shuttles, space stations, and even on the Moon. Sleep is an important part of an astronaut's health, particularly for longer duration missions. But from noisy crewmates to spaceship sounds and even the sheer excitement of it all, sleeping in space hasn't always been easy. To find out what it's really like, we speak with former astronaut Mike Massimino who relates his shuttle sleeping experience to a big slumber party.  We're catching Zs in zero-G, today on AirSpace.Thanks to our guest in this episode: Mike Massimino, former astronautFind the transcript for this episode and more information at https://s.si.edu/AirSpaceSleep.Subscribe to our monthly newsletter at s.si.edu/airspacenewsletter. 

IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE, ARIES!!!!And there's a lot going your way this April. Uranus is bouncing around to make sure that the month is filled with positive surprises for your birthday. Laura and Alex begin the episode by discussing the many times they were embezzled by Susan Miller last month. (Note: This does not mean that Susan stole money from the gals, but that her forecasts were accurate.) The good news is that Susan made a lot of correct predictions, but the bad news is that the predictions were not positive. The main takeaway from all of this? Always carry flowers in your bra when going through airport security. A discussion of Susan's note to her readers is next. The gals report that Susan is very excited about the launch of Artemis II! Laura and Alex have a theory that Susan has a direct line to NASA, so they wonder how she might be involved in this groundbreaking mission. Another fun development revealed in this month's note is that renowned illustrator and Susan Miller favorite Izak Zenou is doing a sketching residency at the Carlyle Hotel in New York! The gals reveal how they would style their ideal Izak portraits and wonder if he's open to accepting bribes so that they can art direct their own sittings. Laura then tells Taurus what's in store for April. Well, she tells them as much as possible, but Susan used the Taurus horoscope to go on a rather long tangent about the recent flood in her apartment and the history of asbestos in New York City, so there isn't as much astrology in this month's forecast as there should be. The episode ends with Alex's recap of the April forecast for Scorpio. Susan wants the Scorps to get some rest! She also would like them to hire a financial advisor instead of talking to a friend about potential financial moves in order to help with the chaos that Uranus might cause this month.Laura and Alex discuss the following at these timestamps: Embezzlements: 1:08Note from Susan Miller: 9:12Aries: 21:37Taurus: 34:10Scorpio: 48:32Share your own thoughts on Susan Miller's Astrology Zone with us by emailing astrologyzoned@gmail.com.Links:Read each episode's transcript at our website: astrologyzoned.comHelp Laura reach the full potential of her Susan Miller legacy by buying her romance novels: http://Lauralovelybooks.com

Our guest today is Doug Cooke, an aerospace consultant who spent 38 years at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.  STEM-Talk host and IHMC founder Dr. Ken Ford, a former Associate Director of NASA's Ames Research Center and Director of NASA's Center of Excellence in Information Technology, interviewed Doug just four days after the astronauts of NASA's Artemis II mission splashed down in the Pacific Ocean following a historic 10-day roundtrip from the Earth to the Moon. In today's episode, Ken and Doug discuss the Artemis mission as well as NASA's plans to return humans to the lunar surface by 2028. Doug also shares his concern that China could one day surpass America's leadership role in human spaceflight. During his 38 years at NASA, Doug played critical roles in the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and Human Exploration spaceflight programs. During the last three years of his NASA career, he served as Associate Administrator of the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, which oversees the development of systems critical to NASA’s plans for human exploration of the Moon and Mars, including the Artemis program. Show notes: [00:04:05] Ken opens our interview with Doug by talking about the Artemis II mission, which is the first crewed mission beyond low earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. Harrison Schmidtt, who was on Apollo 17, was our guest on episode 4. Ken asks Doug for his key takeaways of the Artemis II mission, which set the record for a manned mission from Earth, traveling 252,756 miles into space and breaking Apollo 13's record. [00:06:18] Ken explains that the Artemis missions signal a new age of space exploration as well as the beginning of a new space race between the U.S. and China. NASA aims to land humans on the Moon by 2028 while China expects to land humans on the moon in 2030. Ken has previously stated that he does not have confidence in NASA's current mission architecture to achieve NASA's stated goal of 2028, and asks Doug for his thoughts on the matter. [00:07:28] Ken asks if it is true that Yuri Gagarin, who become the first human to fly into space, is what initially sparked Doug's interest in science and space. [00:08:54] Ken notes that Gagarin's orbit around the earth inspired President Kennedy to vow that the United States would ramp up its space program and become the first nation to land a man on the moon. Ken mentions that he believes the Apollo 11 mission, which landed astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface, was one the greatest technological advances in world history. Ken asks Doug for his thoughts on the success of the Apollo program. [00:10:28] Ken mentions that Doug went to college at Texas A&M and majored in aerospace engineering. Kens asks Doug how he got a job at NASA after graduating. [00:12:21] Ken explains that Doug was instrumental in the development of the space shuttle and the International Space Station during his time at NASA. Doug talks about what it was like working on those projects at NASA. [00:15:16] Ken mentions that Doug also had an instrumental role in the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), and the broader Exploration Technology Program. Ken points out that Doug became head of the exploration technology program in 1990 under then NASA Associate Administrator Mike Griffin, who was our guest on episodes 134 and 189. Ken asks Doug about meeting Mike. [00:16:17] Ken mentions that Mike Griffin and Lisa Porter were our guests on episode 189, where they voiced concerns about NASA's current plans for a return to the moon. Ken goes on to mention that near the end of Doug's career at NASA, he was the head of Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD), which is responsible for the development of systems critical to NASA's plans for future exploration of the Moon and Mars. Ken asks Doug to talk about his role as head of the directorate and the work he did there. [00:18:55] Ken explains that Doug has written extensively on the issues with the Artemis mission architecture, most notably in a recent article for space news. Before jumping into the article, Ken asks Doug to talk about why it is important and also a national-security concern that we return to the moon before China. [00:21:12] Looping back to Doug's op-ed in Space News, Ken notes that Doug stressed the need for NASA to develop a plan-B for the Artemis mission, with Doug and others noting that without a plan-B, the U.S. risks of losing the space race to the Moon. Doug has also gone on record to say that China has a far simpler, more direct, and more technically conservative plan than NASA. Ken asks Doug to elaborate on this. [00:22:37] Ken asks Doug to talk about the issues he and others have identified with NASA's current proposed landing system. [00:26:14] Ken asks Doug to give a better understanding for the listeners of just how tall the proposed SpaceX lander is, and why that is a potential problem for not only landing on the moon in the proposed locations, but also for the astronauts exiting and entering. [00:28:51] Ken asks Doug to talk about what plan-B for Artemis looks like. [00:30:12] Ken asks Doug about the powerful thrust generation of the SpaceX lander. This raises the concern of regolith blast and generating significant debris fields while landing and thus reducing the scientific value of the region immediately surrounding the landing site. [00:30:59] Ken asks if Doug has any other thoughts on a potential plan-B. [00:33:02] Ken notes that the success of the mission hinges on the least proven element, namely the lander. While other elements of the mission architecture are well established, the hardest and least tested elements are normally the weakest links. Ken asks Doug's thoughts on this position. [00:34:31] Ken asks Doug to talk about the complexity of the Artemis mission architecture and that it is largely driven by the Lander and NASA's requirements.  There was a high interest in re-usability which increased complexity. Neither of the two Landers under development are an optimal design for a lunar lander. [00:35:37] Ken asks Doug about the role of commercial companies sometimes called “new space” in space exploration. [00:37:02] Ken asks Doug if he feels discouraged by the fact that the U.S. has squandered a 60-year head start in space exploration. [00:37:36] Ken explains that China aims to send humans to Mars by 2050, and NASA aims to do the same by 2040, while Elon Musk proposes to send humans to Mars by 2029, which Ken says is a completely untenable notion. Ken notes that statements such as that from Musk vastly understate the difficulty entailed in a Mars mission. Given that Doug was part of the early planning of a Mars mission at NASA, he asks Doug to talk about the challenges that such a mission faces. [00:42:17] Ken and Doug discuss the problem with EDL (Entry Descent and Landing) that Mars uniquely poses. [00:43:09] Ken also brings up the issue of crew health and wellness. By the time they reach Mars, given the extended time spent in a high-radiation, micro-gravity environment, maintaining crew health in transit is critical to mission success. [00:43:47] Ken poses the concern that if it becomes likely that China will reach the moon before the U.S. can return, then NASA or the political leadership may adopt the attitude that we've already been to the moon, and that we should just jump straight to Mars. [00:46:24] Ken asks for Doug's thoughts on NASA's current leadership and workforce. [00:49:01] Ken quizzes Doug about the aims, goals, and mission architecture of Artemis III and IV. [00:51:16] Ken notes that the design of Artemis III might negatively impact the overall mission goal of landing on the Moon by 2028. [00:52:04] Ken shifts to talk more about Artemis IV, elements of which, Ken notes, need much more testing to be ready. [00:52:58] Ken closes our interview noting that Doug will return for another interview on STEM-Talk in 2028 to see if Artemis is on schedule. Ken ends by asking Doug about how he started his hobby of collecting Civil War artifacts after he retired and moved to Gettysburg, as well as his hobby of collecting antique cars. [00:55:17] Ken closes by asking Doug to name the favorite car he has collected. Links: Doug Cooke bio Learn more about IHMC STEM-Talk homepage Ken Ford bio Ken Ford Wikipedia page

This week Captain Scott Kelly returns to the podcast with Brett King to talk Artemis II and NASA's announcement of its intention to put a permanent base on the moon. Capt Kelly piloted and commanded shuttle missions before spending an entire year as commander of the International Space Station. We delve into the challenges for a lunar base, the similarities between the ISS and a base on the moon, and how the Orion capsule and lunar hardware differ from the shuttle and other spacecraft that Kelly piloted. The race is on between China and the US to set foot back on the moon.

Vanessa has been given the opportunity to be on a show with James Corden and she's leaning towards 'no.' How can she turn this down?! Hear all the details about the new World Cup After Show with James Cordon and (possibly) Vanessa! After another pregnancy scare, Klein's decided: He's getting a vasectomy. It was quickly brought up that Lightning, longtime producer of Kevin & Bean, did his vasectomy live on-air. Obviously to pay tribute to their legacy, Klein should do the same. It ended with a surprise call from Lightning himself! We talked to the director of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) about the files released by the Pentagon earlier this week. He shared new conspiracies involving missing and dead scientists, and new reports of flashing lights during the Artemis II mission to the moon. We also talked about the mysterious Ally orb and anal probes, because why not? Plus a hilarious crop of Funeral Fail calls, which included people being buried in the wrong plot, being propositioned for sex and cocaine, and a 'death fart' from a deceased grandma.

In this episode, I explore the cosmic metaphor of stars, planets, and black holes as three distinct ways humans experience the world. Drawing parallels from the Artemis II moon mission and the film Project Hail Mary, I discuss how these celestial bodies represent generating light (star mode), reflecting light (planet mode), and consuming light (black hole mode). Key insights include understanding that these are temporary states, not fixed identities, and that our interconnectedness, as described by the Buddhist concept of Indra's Net, means we are all part of a larger system. This understanding offers practical applications for navigating our relationships and inner experiences with greater compassion and skill, recognizing that even in difficult "black hole" states, change is inevitable and our awareness of these states is the first step toward skillful engagement.Explore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.
