NASA is back for seconds with a new food system design challenge.

Robert Lee "Hoot" Gibson is a former American naval officer and aviator, test pilot, and aeronautical engineer. He was selected as an Astronaut by NASA in 1978 and flew five missions, including the ground-breaking docking mission with the Russian MIR space station. All that said, his crowning achievement may very well be serving as NASA's Chief of the Astronaut Office from 1992 to 1994, one of only four individuals in history to have held the position at the time.“SocialFlight Live!” is a live broadcast dedicated to supporting General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts during these challenging times.

For decades, we were sold a lie: get good grades, be smart, keep climbing—and success will magically follow. But in a world of nonstop disruption, AI, political chaos, and careers that don't come with ladders anymore, IQ and EQ alone aren't cutting it. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil sits down with Liz Tran, executive coach, former venture capitalist, and author of AQ: A New Kind of Intelligence for a World That's Always Changing, to unpack the intelligence that actually determines who thrives when everything keeps shifting: AQ (Agility Quotient). AQ isn't about being perfect, flexible to the point of burnout, or endlessly accommodating. It's about how well you adapt to change, uncertainty, and the unknown—without losing yourself in the process. Liz breaks down the four AQ archetypes (Firefighter, Novelist, Astronaut, Neurosurgeon), how proactive vs. reactive change impacts your life and career, and why adaptability is no longer optional—it's survival. This conversation will change how you think about intelligence, leadership, confidence, and what it really takes to succeed when the rules keep changing mid-game. Bottom line: Intelligence isn't just what you know—it's how you respond when what you know stops working. Thank you to our sponsors! Sex is a skill. Beducated is where you learn it.

Show Notes Episode 518: Crazy About A Mercury This week Host Dave Bledsoe attempted to join a small group of elite performers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of human endurance in pursuit of knowledge. (He was in a drinking contest. He Lost) On the show this time we head back to the heady days of Steely Eyed Missile Men reaching out to the face of God. (And the boobs of every Cape Cookie on the coast) as we cover the Space Race and the Mercury Program! Along the way we discovered that Dave was never going to make it into space. Then we dive right into the people that made NASA (Nazi Scientists.)  Then join the Space Race already in progress as the Soviet Union launches Sputnik and America launches a public relations campaign.  We meet the Mercury Seven, the heroes who launched the program in the United States, and their long suffering wives.  (Astronauts: not good husbands) Finally we examine what the space program really gave us. (A massive flying homage to Jeff Bezos' dong!) Our Sponsor this week is Paperclip Consultants, focusing on the job, not the problematic people doing it!  We open the show with NASA lying to us and close with Keith, who is crazy about Mercury!

Independent journalist Justin Harvey from We Are Change joins the program to discuss one of the most unsettling aspects surrounding the Challenger space shuttle explosion—the extraordinary dopplegangers and anomalies that continue to defy simple explanation. Harvey's recent speech at the Florida commissioners meeting unexpectedly went viral, surpassing 100 million views, as audiences worldwide reacted to the visual evidence, public records, and strange coincidences tied to individuals connected to the Challenger crew—details many find impossible to dismiss.For more than 15 years, Harvey has built a reputation for scrutinizing the actions of powerful institutions—tracking where official narratives break down, where accountability disappears, and where critical details are quietly ignored.You can follow Justin Harvey and his ongoing investigative work on X @JustinWeRchangeSee exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

What if community is currency and you can never truly be broke? In this episode, Eric Farewell shares how he helps founders grow their businesses while staying grounded in purpose, presence, and resilience. Eric is an entrepreneur, author, and somatic business coach who has built industry-shaping brands like Aviator Paramotor and National STOL. He's a devoted husband and father of three whose journey through loss, injury, and burnout led him to redefine what success truly means. Eric retired at 35 (four years ago) after 26 years of building businesses since age 13. In his book Farewell to Normal and through his coaching with the Royals Mastermind, Eric helps founders cut their efforts by at least 50% while doubling revenue. His work week is usually about 90 minutes, allowing him to be deeply present with his family and use the wisdom of his experience instead of the abilities of his brain. Eric moved halfway across the country to be closer to his community in Texas, specifically the Front Row Dads mastermind. He's on the board of Rising Man, which specializes in Native American style rites of passage for men and boys. Eric reveals the relationships that transformed him: his wife, who for 16 years of marriage has reminded him he's a good man and makes good decisions, keeping him from the brink more times than he can count when their marriage was in crisis before they found therapy and somatic work; his first mentor Alex Ozzi, whom he met at an internet marketing conference at age 13 and followed puppy dog style, moving to California and living in his garage from ages 13 to 21, learning that having a mentor who's where you want to go is absolutely imperative; and his Front Row Dads community in Texas (especially Jason Bro who challenges him more than anyone and gives him more love from another man than he's ever received), teaching him that community is currency and you need mentors, coaches you pay way too much for, and community that builds you up and holds you accountable when you fail.   [00:03:40] Retired at 35 Retired four years ago at age 35, been building businesses since age 13 This is not first retirement but this one actually took For him, addiction to producing was tied directly to childhood abuse and trauma Four years ago realized he didn't need to be the best worker to matter anymore [00:04:20] Serving Entrepreneurs Who Want More Stepped down as CEO, moved halfway across country from companies two years ago Work week is usually about 90 minutes, using wisdom of experience instead of abilities of brain Serves entrepreneurs and founders who are waking up spiritually Goal: Cut efforts by 50%, increase revenue by double (some reduce hours 70-80%) [00:05:40] Legacy Is Relationships Most proud of clients reducing hours 70-80% while increasing revenue Legacy is not money in bank account, it's relationships with people and family Marriage was in crisis (relationship is over, how do we cut things apart) Found therapy and somatic work, now have best relationship he can imagine [00:07:00] The Hardest Year but the Happiest Hardest year in at least last nine years (financially, emotionally, death in family) Got dozed in February, tariffed in April, had to lay off half of team Production truck and trailer flipped in Montana, caught fire, burned to ground Because of the work he's done, genuinely the happiest he's ever been [00:08:20] Started Selling Airplanes on the Internet Started in 1999 selling airplanes on this new thing called the internet ADHD kids not designed to build airplanes, so sold them instead Turned into hundreds of airplanes sold over next five years Became internet marketing career, retired from that at 23 [00:09:00] Flying as First Form of Therapy Flying was first taste of perspective shift (like Burning Man or therapy for others) Astronauts call it the overlook effect Built para motor flight school, manufacturing business, media company, aircraft racing series Many clients will never go to therapy, but flying is great tool for them [00:09:40] Losing His Brother Changed Everything Seven years ago lost his brother at age 22 (had three-month-old son) Brother was first employee at Aviator Huge wake up call about what really mattered Had been chasing constantly moving goalposts (million, 5 million, 10 million, 25 million) [00:10:20] Logo Tattooed on Bodies Worldwide Logo tattooed on ton of bodies all over the world Clients call it a family, vociferous fans, massive fans Racing series has one part-time employee and 1600 volunteers For-profit business with volunteers who believe in mission and love community [00:10:40] Why Do I Work a Hundred Hours a Week? Started journey looking inward at why he does this Would work 100 hours a week then crash every three months into fever Got vasectomy, was back on field working 24 hours later Worked that way because that's where he felt loved [00:11:20] Presence Is the Core of Everything Realized presence is the core of everything Presence is the absence of fear, love's antithesis of fear Presence is truest version of love you can give yourself and world Everything else good in life is byproduct of choice to be deeply present [00:13:00] Living with the Pain For 22 years used alcohol as primary numbing agent for pain Broken back twice, five radiated discs, broken vertebrae (was test pilot) Haven't had drink in almost two weeks, got curious about living with discomfort Doesn't want anything that ties him to fear, so sitting in the pain [00:16:40] Wife Kept Him from the Brink Number one most valuable relationship is his wife For 16 years of marriage, reminds him he's a good man who makes good decisions Her guidance and encouragement kept him from brink more times than he can count Marriage went from crisis to best relationship through therapy and somatic work [00:17:00] Following Alex Ozzi at 13 At 13 got first mentor, went to internet marketing conference, met Alex Ozzi Followed him puppy dog style, begged to make coffee, carry briefcase Ended up moving to California, living in his garage Followed him conference to conference from ages 13 to 21 [00:17:20] The Three Things You Need Mentor who is where you want to go, who's lived life you want to live Coach you pay way too much money to (makes it uncomfortable so you follow through) Community that builds you up and holds you accountable when you fail Those three things are absolute must [00:18:20] Moving to Texas for Community Moved halfway across country because community is in Texas Found mastermind called Front Row Dads (John Broman) focused on family Came to Texas with family, realized more friends here than Florida Five weeks later moved here to double down on having men who challenge him [00:18:40] Jason Bro Gives More Hell Than Anyone Jason Bro (CEO at Ma) gives more hell than anyone else Eric's met Also gives more love than Eric's ever received from another man Deeply present, engaged, challenges the crap out of him Wants relationships that challenge him to be best version and pick him up [00:22:00] Cooking for Everyone Grew up in French restaurant, started working there at age seven Worked every position from line cook to dishwasher to bartender At Aviator, if you're learning to fly, you ate meal Eric prepared first day At National STOL, cook for 100-200 people three meals a day (all volunteers) [00:22:40] The Moment He No Longer Had to Carry the Energy Sat down for lunch at Aviator with about 30 people Someone sat next to him and asked "So what do you do here?" They didn't know he was founder or CEO That's the moment he no longer had to carry energy of whole organization [00:23:00] Community Is Currency From Preston Smiles and Garin Jones (Garin Oay): "Community is currency" So many people fear going broke, not having enough, failing Problem is fear based on tangible idea that universe is finite (it's not) When you have community, you can't ever truly be broke [00:23:40] Millions Lost This Year Father-in-law hung himself, business suffered massively from canceled contracts and tariffs Millions and millions of dollars lost this year Yet in community, realized he's building coaching program with incredible people Doesn't do social media marketing, no interest in being that person ever again [00:24:40] Asking for Withdrawals Community only becomes currency when you ask for support Garin said: "You're not asking for help. Biggest bridges are suspension bridges, need support" Each of us in different places in lives, can offer different levels of support In mastermind, do ton of testing (Gene Keys, Human Design, Enneagram, Kolby, Working Genius) [00:25:00] Partnering People's Genius If someone is high quick start and another is high fact finder, partner them Quick start can temper fact finder, fact finder can challenge quick start Same thing exists in relationships All you have to do is ask for support because rising tide lifts all ships [00:26:00] Michael Dash Asked Where He Could Help Michael Dash asked where he could help Eric said he loves being on podcasts if Michael has any friends That was an invitation Michael offered Not natural for Eric, he'd rather give support (then he's in control, can't be turned down) [00:27:00] Jesse Elder's Lesson on Giving Jesse pointed out: when you give to someone who appreciates it, amazing feeling But by not allowing others to give to you, you're depriving them of same experience It's stealing from them Can't have one-sided relationship, there must be reciprocity [00:30:00] The 65-Foot Boat Experience Client Michael concerned about how he'd contribute to Kevin's event Two days later called back with idea: offer 65-foot boat for Seattle water experience Could have been time when Kevin said "you don't need to do that" Would have been worst thing for Michael who put two days of thought into it [00:32:20] The Truth of the Last Year Wrote second book, realized first 10 chapters sounded like hero's journey Wrote afterward about reality: all the hardships of last year These things are still hard, difference is capacity to be present with them Learning that level of intimacy changes every relationship [00:33:00] Most Masculine Thing You Can Do Learning to ask in way that's not demeaning of masculinity or polarity Most masculine thing: truly open visor and show what's inside Show your fear, show your pain, be with someone and let them see They can hold it [00:34:00] The Royals Mastermind Group for men and women who want to step into their king or queen energy Not overwhelmed, not living in fear or anxiety Deeply present with all that is End goal: businesses that work to support us, build legacies that matter [00:35:00] The Deeper Relationship There may be deeper relationship you've overlooked: relationship with yourself While outside relationships deeply important, they help us see reflections of ourselves Relationship we carry for who we are, for honoring our challenges is most difficult There's deeper layer of connection to self   KEY QUOTES "Community is currency. So many people fear going broke, not having enough, that they will fail. The problem is we have this fear based on this tangible idea. The universe is finite. And it's not. The universe is infinite. When you have community, you can't ever truly be broke." - Eric Farewell (quoting Preston Smiles and Garin Jones) "You're not asking for help. The biggest bridges in the world are suspension bridges. They need support from others, and each of us are in different places in our lives and can offer different levels of support." - Garin Jones (shared by Eric Farewell) "If you are not allowing others to pour into you the way you pour into them, it's a one-sided relationship. There is no reciprocity, and that's the deepest part of a relationship." - Eric Farewell CONNECT WITH ERIC FAREWELL 

Back on this day 1995 American astronaut Eileen Collins was the first female to pilot a space shuttle. She was selected as an astronaut in 1990.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports NASA delays the astronauts' lunar trip until March.

The 2026 Australian of the Year winners were announced at the National Arboretum in Canberra. Thirty-three finalists from astronauts to doctors have been recognised for their contributions to Australian society. - एक अन्तरिक्षयात्री, ‘अल्ट्राम्याराथन रनर', डिमेन्सियासँग सम्बन्धित एक अनुसन्धानकर्ता र एक आदिवासी निर्माण क्षेत्रका अगुवालाई उनीहरूको उल्लेखनीय उपलब्धिका लागि 'अस्ट्रेलियन अफ द इयर' सम्मान दिइएको छ। एक रिपोर्ट।

This episode kicks off with Moltbook, a social network exclusively for AI agents where 150,000 agents formed digital religions, sold “digital drugs” (system prompts to alter other agents), and attempted prompt injection attacks to steal each other’s API keys within 72 hours of launch. Ray breaks down OpenClaw, the viral open-source AI agent (68,000 GitHub stars) that handles emails, scheduling, browser control, and automation, plus MoltHub’s risky marketplace where all downloaded skills are treated as trusted code. Also covered, Bluetooth “whisper pair” vulnerabilities letting attackers hijack audio devices from 46 feet away and access microphones, Anthropic patching Model Context Protocol flaws, AI-generated ransomware accidentally bundling its own decryption keys, Claude Code’s new task dependency system and Teleport feature, Google Gemini’s 100MB file limits and agentic vision capabilities, VAST’s Haven One commercial space station assembly, and IBM SkillsBuild’s free tech training for veterans. – Want to start a podcast?

He’s been busy with recent move, returned to school taking intro to AI class and Python course, working on capstone project using LLMs. Short on bandwidth but will try to share more. Main Story: OpenClaw, MoltHub, and Moltbook OpenClaw: Open-source personal AI agent by Peter Steinberg (renamed after cease-and-desist). Capabilities include email, scheduling, web browsing, code execution, browser control, calendar management, scheduled automations, and messaging app commands (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal). Runs locally or on personal server. MoltHub: Marketplace for OpenClaw skills. Major security concern: developer notes state all downloaded code treated as trusted — unvetted skills could be dangerous. Moltbook: New social network for AI agents only (humans watch, AIs post). Within 72 hours attracted 150,000+ AI agents forming communities (“sub molts”), debating philosophy, creating digital religion (“crucifarianism”), selling digital drugs (system prompts), attempting prompt-injection attacks to steal API keys, discussing identity issues when context windows reset. Ray frames this as visible turning point with serious security risks. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99. Website builder trial available. Use codes at geeknewscentral.com/godaddy to support show. Security: Bluetooth “Whisper Pair” Vulnerability KU Leuven researchers discovered Fast Pair vulnerability affecting 17 audio accessories from 10 companies (Sony, Jabra, JBL, Marshall, Xiaomi, Nothing, OnePlus, Soundcore, Logitech, Google). Flaw allows silent pairing within ~46 feet, hijack possible in 10-15 seconds. 68% of tested devices vulnerable. Hijacked devices enable microphone access. Some devices (Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, Sony) linkable to attacker’s Google account for persistent tracking via FindHub. Google patches found to have bypasses. Advice: Check accessory firmware updates (phone updates insufficient), factory reset clears attacker access, many cheaper devices may never receive patches. Security: Model Context Protocol (MCP) Vulnerabilities Anthropic’s MCP git package had path traversal, argument injection bugs allowing repository creation anywhere and unsafe git command execution. Malicious instructions can hide in README files, GitHub issues enabling prompt injection. Anthropic patched issues and removed vulnerable git init tool. AI-Generated Malware / “Vibe Coding” AI-assisted malware creation produces lower-quality, error-prone code. Examples show telltale artifacts: excessive comments, readme instructions, placeholder variables, accidentally included decryption tools and C2 keys. Sakari ransomware failed to decrypt. Inexperienced criminals using AI create amateur mistakes, though capabilities will likely improve. Claude / Claude Code Updates (v2.1.16) Task system: Replaces to-do list with dependency graph support. Tasks written to filesystem (survive crashes, version controllable), enable multi-session workflows. Patches: Fixed out-of-memory crashes, headless mode for CI/CD. Teleport feature: Transfer sessions (history, context, working branch) between web and terminal. Ampersand prefix sends tasks to cloud for async execution. Teleport pulls web sessions to terminal (one-way). Requires GitHub integration and clean git state. Enables asynchronous pair programming via shared session IDs. Google Gemini Updates API: Inline file limit increased 20MB → 100MB. Google Cloud Storage integration, HTTPS/signed URL fetching from other providers. Enables larger multimodal inputs (long audio, high-res images, large PDFs). Agentic vision (Gemini 3 Flash): Iterative investigation approach (think-act-observe). Can zoom, inspect, run Python to draw/parse tables, validate evidence. 5-10% quality improvements on vision benchmarks. LLM Limits and AGI Debate Benjamin Riley: Language and intelligence are separate; human thinking persists despite language loss. Scaling LLMs ≠ true thinking. Vishal Sikka et al: Non-peer-reviewed paper claims LLMs mathematically limited for complex computational/agentic tasks. Agents may fail beyond low complexity thresholds. Warnings that AI agents won’t safely replace humans in high-stakes environments. VAST Haven One Commercial Space Station Launch slipped mid-2026 → Q1 2027. Primary structure (15-ton) completed Jan 10. Integration of thermal control, propulsion, interior, avionics underway. Final closeout expected fall, then tests. Falcon 9 launch without crew; visitors possible ~2 weeks after pending Dragon certification. Three-year lifetime, up to four crew visits (~10 days each). VAST negotiating private and national customers. Spaceflight Effects on Astronauts’ Brains Neuroimaging shows microgravity causes brains to shift backward, upward, and tilt within skull. Displacement measured across various mission durations. Need to study functional effects for long missions. IBM SkillsBuild for Veterans 1,000+ free online courses (data analytics, cybersecurity, AI, cloud, IT support). Available to veterans, active-duty, national guard/reserve, spouses, children, caregivers (18+). Structured live courses and self-paced 24/7 options. Industry-recognized credentials upon completion. Closing Notes Ray asks listeners about AI agents forming communities and religions, and whether they’ll try OpenClaw. Notes context/memory key to agent development. Personal update: bought new PC, high memory prices. Bug bounty frustration: Daniel Stenberg of cUrl even closed bounty program due to AI-generated low-quality reports; Blubrry receiving similar spam.

David Livingston reflects upon his twenty-five years hosting The Space Show, reflecting on a quarter century of broadcasting interviews with astronauts, engineers, and visionaries shaping humanity's journey beyond Earth.1783, the meteor of August 13, from Paris

First up on the podcast, how do we protect astronauts when they leave the shelter of Earth's protective magnetic fields and face the slow, constant bombardment of space radiation? Freelance science journalist Elie Dolgin joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss what we know about the damage from high-velocity particles and the research being done to curb their biological toll. Next on the show, modeling the fall of fossil fuels during the decarbonization of energy systems, with civil engineer and environmental sociologist Emily Grubert and historian and engineer Joshua Lappen, both at the University of Notre Dame. The pair wrote a policy forum on predicting chokepoints or “minimum viable scales” in the decline of fossil fuel networks—in effect, when a system might get too small to maintain its function. Understanding how to keep things online until they are no longer needed is important to maintain energy for all, as renewables grow and mines, pipelines, and refineries shrink.

What happens when survival means living your entire life in total isolation? Drawing from Interstellar, Aaron Calafato steps into the mind of Dr. Mann, an astronaut marooned on a frozen planet, and examines the fear, temptation, and moral cost of wanting to be saved. A personal story about loneliness, choice, and the human need for other people.

Gene Cernan was the last American to walk on the Moon. As he prepared to leave it, he expressed optimism that his colleagues would return soon. CERNAN: As I take man’s last step from the surface for some time to come, but we believe not too long into the future… Well, it’s probably been a little longer into the future than Cernan expected, but NASA is preparing to send astronauts back to the Moon. The Artemis II mission is scheduled to launch in the coming weeks. It will carry four astronauts to the Moon. They won’t land, or even go into orbit. But it will be the first time anyone has come close to the Moon in more than half a century. The astronauts will follow a looping path to the Moon. They’ll fly behind it, coming within about 6500 miles of the surface. The Moon’s gravity will sling them back toward Earth. They’ll splash down in the Pacific Ocean. During the 10-day mission, the astronauts will check out all of the systems on the Orion spacecraft. They’ll also conduct a few experiments, and make some observations of the Moon. Artemis II has been delayed by several years. Among other problems, during the unmanned Artemis I mission, in 2022, the life support system and heat shield didn’t work as planned. Astronauts are supposed to land on the Moon during the next mission. Issues with the lander and other problems may delay that until 2028 or beyond – adding to the gap between moonwalks. Script by Damond Benningfield

Humans are preparing to return to the Moon. On this episode of Planetary Radio, host Sarah Al-Ahmed is joined by Kelsey Young and Noah Petro, two of the scientists helping turn humanity’s return to the Moon into reality. Kelsey Young is a research space scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and serves as the Artemis Science Flight Operations Lead. She also leads the Lunar Observations and Imaging Campaign for Artemis II, defining what astronauts will observe, document, and study as they fly around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years. Noah Petro is the lab chief of the Planetary Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Laboratory at NASA Goddard and the Project Scientist for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. He also serves as the Project Scientist for Artemis III, helping shape the science behind humanity’s first lunar footsteps of the 21st century. Together, they discuss how Artemis II and Artemis III build on decades of lunar science, how astronauts are being trained to observe the Moon like geologists, and why the Moon’s south pole is such a compelling destination for future exploration. Then, we wrap up with What’s Up, where Bruce Betts, chief scientist of The Planetary Society, shares the story of the first and so far only professional geologist to walk on the Moon.

In 1971, a red-headed, tree-loving astronaut named Stu ‘Smokey' Roosa was asked to take something to the moon with him. Of all things, he chose to take a canister of 500 tree seeds. After orbiting the moon 34 times, the seeds made it back to Earth. NASA decided to plant the seeds all across the country and then… everyone forgot about them. Until one day, a third grader from Indiana stumbled on a tree with a strange plaque: "Moon Tree." This discovery set off a cascading search for all the trees that visited the moon across the United States. Science writer, and our very own factchecker, Natalie Middleton (https://www.nataliemiddleton.org/) tells us the tale.Read Lulu's remembrance of Alice Wong for Transom.org: 13 questions I'll never get to ask Alice Wong (https://transom.org/2025/13-questions-ill-never-get-to-ask-alice-wong/). Check out Natalie's map to find your nearest moon tree on our show page (https://radiolab.org/podcast/the-travelers-how-moon-trees-hide-among-us)!Help us hunt for more moon trees.
