Retired NASA Astronaut Lieutenant General Susan Helms reflects on her 211 days in space and life onboard a young International Space Station.In this episode, Susan takes us through her groundbreaking journey as the first active-duty woman officer to become a NASA astronaut. She discusses attending the United States Air Force Academy, flight testing fighter jets, her five space missions, and a record-breaking spacewalk. This one is going to be cool!Key Takeaways:Susan's childhood dream was to attend the United States Air Force Academy. At the time, women were not permitted to learn at the USAFA, but in 1975 during her senior year of high school, President Ford signed a law allowing women to enroll. She applied and was accepted to the Academy, joining 157 other women in the first class of 1976.After graduating from the USAFA in 1980, Susan was assigned to Eglin Air Force Base as an F-16 Weapons Separation Engineer and then became the Lead Engineer for F-15 weapons separation. She then transferred to Edwards Air Force Base to be a Flight Test Engineer.While flight testing CF-18s in Canada, Susan was selected to become a NASA astronaut. She flew on STS-54, 64, 78, 101, and Expedition 2.Susan and crewmate Jim Voss trained and studied languages in Moscow with fellow Cosmonaut Yuri Usachov before their Expedition 2 flight.On a few of her missions, Susan operated the Remote Manipulator System on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. This robot arm is used to deploy satellites, capture objects, and assist astronauts during spacewalks.In 2001, Susan Helms and Jim Voss set a world record after spacewalking for 8 hours and 56 minutes. This record was held for 23 years before Chinese astronauts Cai Xuzhe and Song Lingdong broke it in 2024 by 10 minutes.Susan encourages listeners to do what they love and not to follow careers that others are pushing them towards.Resources:Susan Helms' Website Susan Helms' NASA Bio Susan Helms' Air Force Bio One of first female Air Force Academy graduates, Susan Helms, becomes first female military astronaut in space (Denver 7) Expedition 2 (NASA)(00:00) - Intro (01:00) - The First Space Tourist & Astronaut Roles (02:55) - Early Interest in Aviation (03:34) - USAFA Application (04:52) - The USAFA's First Class of Women (05:54) - Attending the USAFA (08:01) - F-15 & F-16 Weapons Testing (09:52) - The Flight Test Engineer Role (11:14) - Flight Testing in Canada (13:00) - Astronaut Selection & First Mission (14:45) - Flying at Mach 25 (15:32) - The Remote Manipulator System (RMS) (18:19) - Astronaut Training in Moscow (21:04) - A Record-Breaking Spacewalk (24:54) - Eating & Drinking During Spacewalks (26:17) - Living in Space (28:35) - Post Astronaut Career (30:22) - Space Exploration's Future (32:02) - Life Advice (32:45) - Outro

Listen in as Stefanie, an occupational therapist, talks to Clare about sensory support for children who don't seem to feel the cold, pain, or hunger, or who seem unaware of where their body is in space, and may seek out sensory input by crashing into things.    Stefanie is the owner of Sensationally Thriving Children Therapy. She has been an occupational therapist for twelve years and has worked in a variety of paediatric specialities including home care, schools, private practice, sensory integration, and outpatient rehabilitation.   She has certifications in Therapeutic Listening, Astronaut Training, the SOS Approach to Feeding, and is an Advanced Mentored Clinician at the STAR Institute for Sensory Processing. Most recently, she has offered parental consultations to help parents better understand the complexities of sensory processing, so they can best support their child.    Stefanie's new course, Understanding Your Child's Sensory Cues, will be launching in summer this year, and she is also in the process of writing a children's book about sensory processing. You can find Stefanie at Sensationally Thriving Children Therapy, and on Facebook and Instagram.  Stefanie recommends the book, Sensational Kids, by Lucy Jane Miller.  She also shares three tips during the episode:  Sometimes, dysregulation can look like sleeping, shutting down or avoidance.  Often, children who are under-responsive may not feel pain, hunger, the need to urinate, or stress and anxiety as readily as others.  Heavy work (movement that involves pushing, pulling, carrying or jumping) is the best activity for calming.  The My Family Coach podcast covers every aspect of children's behaviour, all in handy 15-minute (ish) bite-sized chunks. Each episode features a new guest chatting about a different aspect of behaviour and leaves you with three handy tips to use at home.

In this episode of Disruptors at Work: an Integrated Care Podcast, Dr. Cara English, DBH is joined by Lyndsey Steele and Amber Eck of Milestone Pediatrics. They dive into the topic of integrated pediatric care services for children and families with disabilities including an innovative protocol, Astronaut Training. Astronaut Training is a precise, powerful, therapeutic protocol that is designed to to develop optimal vestibular function, an essential foundation for all sensory processing and movement control. This protocol is administered by occupational and physical therapists that have received advanced education. Milestone Pediatrics was founded in 2009 by two ambitious women looking to make a difference in the special needs community. To effectively meet the challenges of raising children with disabilities, families have a strong ongoing need for therapeutic interventions for their loved ones. As Milestone Pediatrics saw that need, they decided to fill that void by creating several programs for individuals with disabilities. Their services include Speech Therapy, Occupational therapy, Physical Therapy, Music Therapy and caregiving services. Milestone Pediatrics acts to ensure that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have meaningful opportunities in our community and can be a part of an inclusive society.

Rebecca Siegel, author of 'To Fly Among the Stars: The Hidden Story of the Flight for Women Astronauts,' joins us for a chat about the Mercury Program and the 13 women who went through astronaut training, but were not allowed to become astronauts. She also tells us about the process of how to make these complex, nuanced histories accessible to a younger audience.

For the 20th episode of the human performance podcast Alex is joined by Dr. Scott Parazynski who is a highly decorated physician, athlete, astronaut, and tech CEO and US Astronaut Hall of Famer. He is a widely sought after keynote speaker on innovation, risk management, mentorship and leadership under extreme adversity. Scott has lived and traveled all over the world, spending many of his grade school years in places such as Senegal, Lebanon, Iran and Greece. A graduate of Stanford University and Medical School, he went on to train at Harvard and in Denver for a career in emergency medicine and trauma. In 1992 he was selected to join NASA's Astronaut Corps and eventually flew 5 Space Shuttle missions and conducted 7 spacewalks. Mission highlights include a global ozone mapping flight; leading the first joint US-Russian spacewalk while docked to the Russian space station Mir; serving as Senator John Glenn's crewmate and “personal physician”; and assembly of the Canadian-built space station robotic arm. In October 2007, Scott led the spacewalking team on STS-120, during which he performed 4 EVAs. The final EVA is regarded by many as one of the most challenging and dangerous ever performed. The tremendous coordinated effort in orbit and on the ground by Mission Control has been likened to the Space Shuttle and Space Station era's “Apollo 13 moment.” In addition to being a diver and accomplished mountaineer, Scott is also a commercial, instrument, multiengine and seaplane-rated pilot. On May 20, 2009, he became the first astronaut to stand on top of the world, the summit of Mount Everest. As a life-long explorer, he and a colleague recently set the first bootprints adjacent the world's youngest lava lake, inside the crater of Massaya Volcano in Nicaragua. He is a prolific inventor/product developer, and serves on the Boards of several companies. He is Founder and CEO of Fluidity Technologies, focused on the development of revolutionary input devices powered by machine learning to intuitively move through physical and virtual space. Alex and Scott discuss motivating yourself as an individual, dealing with extreme pressure, training for Olympic Luge, Astronaut training, Astronaut training, Shuttle Launches, Space Walks, Climbing Everest and more twitter.com/astrodocscott

Do You Have The ‘Right Stuff’ To Be An Astronaut? If you’ve ever considered being an astronaut, this might be your chance to land that dream job. This week, NASA opened applications for a new class of astronaut candidates. It’s a full-time position based in Houston, Texas, paying over $104,000 per year. Job duties would include “conducting operations in space, including on the International Space Station (ISS) and in the development and testing of future spacecraft” and “performing extravehicular activities (EVA) and robotics operations using the remote manipulator system.” Please note that “substantial travel” is required.  How do you know if you have the ‘right stuff’ to apply?  Frank Rubio, a NASA astronaut who completed the most recent previous selection program in 2017, joins Ira to talk about what other qualities are valuable in an astronaut applicant—and the training program for those accepted.   Could A “Marsquake” Knock Down Your House? On April 6, 2019, NASA’s InSight Mars lander recorded a sound researchers had been waiting to hear for months. To the untrained listener, it may sound like someone had turned up the volume on the hum of Martian wind. But NASA researchers could hear the likely first-ever “marsquake” recorded by the mission. NASA’s InSight carries a suite of instruments to help study what’s happening deep within the Martian surface, including an ultra-sensitive seismometer (SEIS) for detecting suspected quakes on Mars. Now closing in on the end of it’s two-year primary mission, NASA scientists are studying the seismic data they’ve collected so far, comparing it to the well-known tectonic activity of Earth, and mapping out what to explore from here. Deputy principal investigator Suzanne Smrekar joins Ira to answer our pressing marsquake questions. New Insight Into Whales On The Go  Like the seasonal migrations of birds, whales are roamers. Every year, they travel thousands of miles, from the warm waters of the equatorial regions for breeding to the colder polar waters for feeding. But how do they find their way so consistently and precisely every year?  New research in Current Biology this month adds more weight to one idea of how whales stay on course: Similar to birds, whales may detect the Earth’s magnetic field lines. Duke University graduate student Jesse Granger explains why a strong connection between gray whale strandings and solar activity could boost the magnetoreception theory. Other research in Marine Mammal Science explores why whales leave the food-rich waters of the Arctic and Antarctic at all. Marine ecologist Robert Pitman of Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Center explains why this annual movement may not be about breeding—but rather, allowing their skin to molt and remain healthy.

This week's interview is with Tess Morris-Paterson. Tess was a sports scientist with Lucozade Sport, then at the Glaxo Smith Kline Human performance laboratory. Then about 18 months ago, she began to think about a new goal, one of becoming an astronaut.  In the interview Tess talks about the deep reflection and questions about self and identity that led to the decision to understand more about what it entailed, how she traverses risk through understanding the demands with meticulous detail and planning, but critically moving to action and applying herself and finding there is more in her and the critical roles that mentors have played along the journey. It was fascinating to hear how she faces down the incredible severity of the risks of being in outer space balanced against lofty goal of getting to the international space station, living on a lunar base or even a mission to Mars. Show notes Applying sports physiology, strength & conditioning and nutrition in a variety of elite high-performance sports. Early career experiences at Lucozade Sport and working in professional football for five years before goal posts started to shift. Explores the benefits and risks of taking a non-paid work opportunity with Tom Reilly at Liverpool John Moore's University and the personal and professional qualities required to make this time successful. An aspiring helicopter pilot and officer in training whilst at university. Networking and getting applied experience whilst at university is vital. Gender, being female and working in football. Developing and sustaining relationships by identifying what makes each person tick is fundamental to being effective in a role whilst working in professional football. A journey of self-reflection resulted in the realisation of wanting to become an astronaut. The impact of transition on self and important others around you. Aerospace physiology PhD at Kings College London, supervisor working at NASA. Rigorous medical and psychiatric process involved in becoming an astronaut. Becoming self-aware, deep reflection of self is fundamental to discovering whether you could become an astronaut. The next big missions being explored by NASA are to have a lunar base and a Mars based mission by 2030. Technical capability and interpersonal intelligence fundamental when under high tension and high pressure – lives are on the line in space! ‘Becoming a guinea pig astronaut' and starting to develop the skills and qualities required to become an astronaut – underpinned by Tess's PhD research. Being the right type of person is vital - character, can it be improved? Personal qualities and skills are a matter of life and death. Identifying, understanding and developing these are essential. Fundamentally you will ask, can I trust this person? Space wrestling could be an apt solution for maintaining physiology! Space is quite literally out of this world. Volatile, complex, unbearable and disgusting at times. Next steps for Tess? Starting a scientific role with NASA in January, moving to San Francisco whilst striving to become 1 of 8 astronauts amongst 18000 applicants, skydiving regularly and potentially becoming an airline pilot. European Space Agency look for a new cohort of astronauts in 5-10 years time. Lessons learnt? Learning about self, lessons from other people finding how inspiring her journey has been to enable others to step outside of their comfort zone. Importance of the support of others and accountable failure.

Join host Burke Allen as he talks with NASA Engineer Russell Werneth about his work on the Hubble Space Telescope and training astronauts with future New York Times best selling author, Homer Hickam.  Russ will also give his thoughts on NASA and their collaboration and competition with private companies like SpaceX and more. Russel L. Werneth holds master’s degrees in mechanical engineering and engineering administration. He has served as an instructor and lecturer at the University of Maryland and as an adjunct professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. After retiring from civil service in 2007, he returned to NASA to serve as educational and public outreach engineer for Hubble Space Telescope and astrophysics at Goddard. He was the recipient of NASA’s Astronaut Silver Snoopy Award for his efforts on the EVA-intensive shuttle missions to Hubble. Werneth is famous for having successfully overseen EVA astronaut spacewalks to service the Hubble Space Telescope. He also played an important role in designing one-of-a-kind tools, procedures, and training protocols for shuttle missions to the Hubble.

Hugh Keir, of Blue Abyss talks through plans to build the world's deepest and largest commercial diving pool for astronaut training, in Bedfordshire, as space exploration becomes more accessible thanks to the likes of Elon Musk's SpaceX and Amazon founder Jef Bezos.

When I picture astronaut training, I imagine people floating around in zero gravity chambers. And that is definitely part of the training. But they need to be equipped with so much more than just experience floating in space. They are trained in all kinds of survival techniques. They have language training so that they can communicate to other astronauts in the Space Station. They have to learn the science and mechanics of how the rocket works. These adventurers have to be ready for anything. The training is essential. Interestingly, the Bible describes the church as a training ground. It is tasked to equip believers. But what are they training them to become? According to Ephesians, a church is called to grow Christians to the full degree of the greatest, most catalytic, history altering individual that has ever walked the planet - Christ. To put it simply: the church is intended to be a training ground pumping out world-changers.
