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.
VivaTech rivalise désormais avec le CES • La souveraineté numérique révèle ses contradictions • L'affaire Anthropic réveille l'Europe • L'IA s'affiche optimiste malgré les craintes sur l'emploi • Les robots restent encore largement en apprentissage • La deep tech française montre ses forcesAvec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)VivaTech change de dimensionNous dressons le bilan de la dixième édition de VivaTech, devenue un rendez-vous international capable de rivaliser avec le CES par son ampleur, ses intervenants et la diversité des innovations présentées. Bruno souligne toutefois l'écart entre les chiffres annoncés, la visibilité offerte aux délégations étrangères et les retombées commerciales réellement obtenues.Une souveraineté numérique à double tranchantNous revenons sur l'omniprésence de la souveraineté technologique dans les allées du salon. La priorité donnée aux solutions françaises et européennes répond à une dépendance devenue préoccupante envers les États-Unis, mais elle risque aussi de fermer la porte à des partenaires comme le Canada, pourtant proches de l'Europe sur les plans économique et politique.L'Europe ne pourra pas avancer seuleNous défendons une souveraineté fondée sur la coopération plutôt que sur l'autarcie. Aucun pays ne dispose seul de toutes les infrastructures, des capacités industrielles et de la puissance de calcul nécessaires : la France, l'Allemagne, le Canada et d'autres partenaires doivent donc combiner leurs forces.Quand les géants américains se disent souverainsNous observons comment Microsoft et d'autres groupes américains adaptent leur discours en proposant des centres de données locaux, des services opérés en France et des dispositifs de contrôle renforcés. Leur argument est simple : la souveraineté doit rester compatible avec la compétitivité et l'accès aux technologies les plus performantes.Des IA adaptées aux cultures localesNous insistons sur un enjeu souvent négligé : l'entraînement des modèles dans les langues, les références et les réalités culturelles de chaque pays. Des modèles majoritairement façonnés par la culture américaine risquent de diffuser des biais et des représentations qui ne correspondent ni à l'Europe, ni au Canada, ni au Brésil.L'affaire Anthropic provoque un électrochocNous analysons la décision américaine ayant conduit Anthropic à suspendre ses modèles Fable 5 et Mythos 5 après des inquiétudes liées à leurs capacités en cybersécurité. Même si l'Europe n'était pas directement visée, l'épisode a démontré qu'une décision prise à Washington pouvait interrompre brutalement l'accès mondial à une technologie stratégique.L'optimisme de Jeff Bezos et Yann LeCunNous évoquons les interventions de Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Blue Origin et Prometheus, et de Yann LeCun, AMI Labs et New York University, qui ont défendu une vision moins alarmiste de l'intelligence artificielle. Face aux scénarios de suppressions massives d'emplois, ils mettent davantage l'accent sur la création d'activités, la productivité et le manque futur de main-d'œuvre.Des robots encore peu autonomesNous faisons le tour des humanoïdes présentés par Unitree, Agibot, Wandercraft ou Enchanted Tools. Derrière les démonstrations spectaculaires, beaucoup de machines restent téléopérées : le véritable défi consiste désormais à leur apprendre à comprendre leur environnement et à agir seules de manière fiable.Les robots vont-ils prendre nos emplois ?Nous estimons que la robotisation touchera d'abord les tâches pénibles, répétitives ou dangereuses. Comme lors des précédentes révolutions industrielles, certains métiers disparaîtront ou évolueront, ce qui rend indispensables la formation, la reconversion et l'accompagnement des travailleurs.Le luxe accélère dans l'IANous observons la place centrale de LVMH et de L'Oréal dans l'écosystème VivaTech. Au-delà de la vitrine, les groupes de luxe utilisent désormais l'intelligence artificielle pour le conseil, la relation client et la visibilité de leurs produits dans les assistants conversationnels, appelés à devenir de nouveaux prescripteurs.La deep tech française en première ligneNous mettons en avant la recherche menée par le CEA, Inria, le CNRS et Orange autour des agents d'intelligence artificielle et de leur interopérabilité. Ce travail de fond, moins spectaculaire que les démonstrations commerciales, constitue pourtant l'un des atouts les plus solides de l'écosystème français.Des innovations venues de plusieurs continentsNous soulignons la forte représentation du Canada, de l'Afrique et de l'Asie dans le salon. Bruno présente notamment Alexandre Triquet, Reveal Life Science, dont le dispositif d'analyse de tissus aide à détecter des cellules cancéreuses et a remporté l'OVHcloud Startup Challenge de VivaTech 2026.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

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.

Blue Origin, the commercial space exploration company owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is expanding and possibly moving into the “balloon” factory formerly owned by now-defunct space tourism company Space Perspective.According to Florida Today, Blue Origin is in negotiations with the current owners of Space Perspective to acquire a 700-foot-long facility located at Space Coast Regional Airport. The 49,000-square-foot fabric-walled factory features two 600-foot-long production tables, ideal for making really big balloons. But now, as the report points out, the site will likely help support “future manufacturing and bulk outdoor storage operations” for Blue Origin.For Space Perspective, the sale of the facility marks an end to its fairly unique space tourism dream. The company's space capsule, which was claimed to be the largest human spacecraft outside of the space station, was designed to be carried to the edge of space by a hydrogen balloon, giving passengers views of Earth from miles above. The company had planned to charge passengers $125,000 per trip but had also offered up free trips through a partnership with Oreo.It would have given ordinary people the chance to fly to the stratosphere without having to endure the rigors of traditional space travel. But the company, which was founded in 2018, earlier this year received an eviction notice after falling behind in rent payments at its Florida facility. It also furloughed most of its 140 employees.Now it looks like the balloon is officially popped, with Blue Origin stepping in to fill the vacuum.But things haven't been all smooth sailing for Bezos and company. Blue Origin last month announced a $600 million production expansion project at its Rocket Park campus at the Cape Canaveral Spaceport. Just a few days later, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the launch pad, causing a major setback for the company and raising several concerns from nearby residents.

SpaceX began trading under the ticker SPCX, opening at $150 per share and implying a valuation above $2 trillion, according to qz.com. The company led by CEO Elon Musk operates launch services with Falcon rockets and the Starlink satellite broadband network, while developing Starship for heavy payloads. Early trading is expected to be volatile, with lockup periods limiting insider sales and potential index inclusion only after eligibility reviews. A valuation at this level focuses attention on capital allocation to Starlink satellites, ground infrastructure, and launch facilities in Texas and Florida. Competitive pressure persists from Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Viasat, Iridium, and Amazon's Project Kuiper. Investors will weigh recurring Starlink revenue against aerospace execution risks tied to launches, regulation, and geopolitics.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

The Net Promoter System Podcast – Customer Experience Insights from Loyalty Leaders
Episode 263: What does it feel like to go into space? To rocket past the Kármán line, float in perfect silence, and return to Earth—all in 11 minutes? Blue Origin's astronauts experience an expensive thrill ride: part theme park roller coaster, part life-altering pilgrimage. In this episode, Allie Kuehner, a Blue Origin astronaut from the New Shepard flight NS-33, relives the intense pause before liftoff, the three-G climb that somehow feels slow, and the instant gravity disappears. Joining her is Sarah Phelps, Blue Origin's former managing director of astronaut and customer experience, who reveals how her team turns that fleeting flight into a story people cherish for life. We take a behind-the-scenes look at Blue Origin's astronaut training program. It's curated, detail-oriented, and built to guide participants through an emotionally charged moment of awe. We unpack how a month-long window after Allie first decided to go into space narrows down to an intentionally designed two-day training sprint—one that forges six strangers into a crew that is forever changed upon their return to Earth. We explore, through Sarah's lens, what makes the experience meaningful via her design choices, such as why hearing that audible launch countdown is a moment you never forget. And how the first flight-suit try-on became an unexpected, emotionally charged moment of emphasis for astronauts and their loved ones. Sarah made many experience tweaks, as she explains: "We were going into the debrief, and I said, 'But I didn't hear the "go" poll.' … The answer was, 'Well, the astronauts don't need to hear that; that's not part of it. They can just hear the countdown.' I said, 'But I want to hear, "INCO go. Capsule go. Booster go. CAPCOM go. Crewmen go." I want to hear the flight director, "New Shepard is go for launch." … And just because that's never been done before and astronauts on previous vehicles didn't need to hear it, my astronauts … need to feel that reverberation in their whole being that we are go for launch." Allie and Sarah also share lessons any brand can use to choreograph peak emotion without sacrificing operational precision. And they cover what the future of space tourism looks like, such as why going to the space station just for a weekend may become a reality within our lifetimes.

You go through three Gs, but you don't even feel the three Gs, because there's so much else going on. You're looking out the window, it's so loud, and then all of a sudden the rocket and the capsule dislodge from one another. And it goes to perfect silence." [00:00:48] "We're giving people an opportunity to go 62 miles above the earth, and you know that somehow, some way, that experience is going to change you, and it's going to change how you see the world moving forward. For me, it's how do we build an experience around that?" [00:05:34] "One of the most surprising things to me was the ascent—how beautifully slow it felt." [00:06:57] "The first time you get to look out these windows down at Earth, you just see this delicate, finite, beautiful planet. And in that moment, you just realize how connected we all are." [00:09:41] "This thing is an 11-minute flight. It's basically a half-million-dollar roller coaster ride."

Due to bandwidth issues, there is no Zoom video for this program. The audio is being archived here and on The Space Show website for this date, www.thespaceshow.com.The Space Show Present Manuel Cuba with The Space Show Team for a general discussion, Sunday, 6-14-26Meeting Summary:The meeting was a space show discussion hosted by David Livingston, with participants including Manuel, Philip, GuySchumann, Marshall, John Jossy, and Sherry. The main guest Cesar from Peru was expected to join but experienced technical difficulties connecting from the airport, so the group decided to reschedule his full interview. The participants discussed various space-related topics including SpaceX's recent IPO, the government's UAP document release, ISDC conference experiences, and NASA's Artemis III crew selection. GuySchumann provided updates on his work in drought mitigation using space-based predictive analytics, while the group also shared insights about recent space conferences and debated whether crew weight and mass considerations might factor into lunar mission planning.Detailed SummaryManuel shared his positive experience attending AIAA in Washington D.C., describing it as worth every penny despite the high cost. The group discussed the potential duration of an upcoming show, with Manuel indicating it should be between 60 and 90 minutes and mentioning that Caesar would have significant content to share. The conversation briefly touched on SpaceX's recent IPO and the mixed opinions from the financial community regarding its economic prospects and future quarterly reporting requirements.The group discussed David's having seen the Spielberg movie, “Disclosure Day,” which explores the concept of “Disclosure Day” regarding extraterrestrials. David reviewed the movie positively, noting it features good acting and innovative storytelling, though he personally doesn't share Spielberg's precise views on extraterrestrials nor how disclosure day will take place, assuming it ever does take place. .Guy Schumann discussed a follow-up conversation with Chris Bures from his last program appearance with us when a listener from Las Vegas, Chris, engaged him and his company about water supply and drought issues in Nevada and the west, where Chris had offered to connect him with municipal and state contacts but the response status remained unclear. Guy explained that while they don't currently have direct municipal contacts in Las Vegas, they partner with a Florida-based company to provide flood modeling and risk assessments for counties in the US, though this partnership is currently focused on Florida rather than the Western states. Marshall raised concerns about weather pattern challenges in Oklahoma, specifically the need to manage both drought and sudden heavy rainfall during harvest season, which Guy acknowledged as a widespread issue affecting both European and US agriculture.The group discussed challenges in predicting and preparing for extreme weather events, with GuySchumann highlighting the difficulty of predicting short-acting events and staying within community budgets. Marshall shared that his brother-in-law could significantly increase crop output with just four months of weather prediction, leading to a discussion about seasonal forecasting improvements enabled by AI and space data. GuySchumann described the rapid technological development in extreme weather prediction over the past five years, noting that progress has accelerated to the point where conferences are overwhelming due to the pace of innovation.The Wisdom Team discussed SpaceX's recent IPO, with Philip noting that many retail investors are making long-term bets on space exploration rather than seeking immediate returns. Marshall expressed caution about buying shares until next week, while David mentioned plans to purchase shares for his trust to benefit his children. Manuel recommended reading Robert Zimmerman's blog post about the IPO, though David thought Zimmerman was overly optimistic. John Jossy observed that space stocks were down on Friday, with some speculation that investors were selling other space companies to buy SpaceX shares.We talked at length about SpaceX's IPO and Elon Musk's public approach to his companies. GuySchumann shared his perspective on Musk's vision for space exploration and how it could inspire public investment, comparing it to the excitement around early personal computers. The discussion touched on how Musk's public persona and rhetoric might change due to SEC oversight, with GuySchumann suggesting he would be more careful out of a sense of responsibility to shareholders. The conversation also covered the regulatory challenges Musk would face as a public company CEO and the potential for litigation, while Marshall noted that Shotwell appears to be the next person in line for leadership at SpaceX.Phil reported that his presentation about moon-based data centers went well at ISDC, with good audience engagement and questions. He also mentioned other notable speakers including David Dillon from Electromagnetic Launch who discussed quench gun technology, and presentations about Venus colonization and biological methods for making structural components in space. David expressed frustration about Blue Origin's reluctance to participate in his show, noting that the company prefers controlled environments where they can restrict discussion topics rather than facing an unpredictable audience.The group discussed keynotes from a recent space conference, including presentations by Harrison Schmidt, Lindy Tompkins, and Bill Diamond of SETI. Manuel shared insights from his attendance at the conference, where he met with Space Tango and a South Korean pharmaceutical company to explore low Earth orbit life sciences facilities and potential research opportunities with the Department of War. The participants also briefly discussed the recent U.S. government's UAP document release, noting that while it generated some media attention, it didn't receive widespread public focus.The group discussed the upcoming Spacecom conference in January in Florida, which Manuel found interesting due to its focus on satellite communication and launch systems. They also discussed the timing of the next SpaceX Starship test flight, which is targeted for July 2026, with speculation about whether it might coincide with the July 4th holiday. The conversation then shifted to discussing Keith Cowling, who received a Pioneer Award from NSS despite controversy, and the upcoming NSS elections where several space show personalities are running for positions.The team mentioned NASA's selection of an all-male crew for the Artemis III mission, with Phil proposing a theory that the heavier male astronauts were chosen for this low-orbit mission to maximize payload capacity, while future missions might favor lighter crew members including women. The discussion included technical considerations about weight, oxygen consumption, and space requirements for astronauts, with David sharing insights from his scuba diving experience about how weight and gender can affect mission planning. The conversation ended with plans to reschedule Cesar's interview.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentWe use Zoom phone numbers for program participation.For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Pour sa dixième édition, VivaTech confirme son statut de rendez-vous technologique majeur en Europe avec une fréquentation record et une dimension internationale assumée. Entre intelligence artificielle, robotique, informatique quantique et souveraineté numérique, cette première journée a été marquée par un discours particulièrement optimiste de Jeff Bezos sur l'avenir de l'innovation.VivaTech entre dans une nouvelle dimensionDix ans après sa création, VivaTech s'impose comme l'un des grands salons technologiques mondiaux. Installé cette année dans le Hall 7 de la Porte de Versailles à Paris, l'événement accueille plusieurs milliers d'exposants, partenaires et startups venus du monde entier. Malgré quelques difficultés logistiques lors de l'ouverture, liées à une forte affluence, cette édition 2026 confirme la montée en puissance du salon, désormais souvent comparé aux grands rendez-vous internationaux de la tech.Jeff Bezos mise sur l'innovation et l'IAInvité vedette de cette première journée, Jeff Bezos a défendu une vision résolument optimiste de l'avenir technologique. Le fondateur d'Amazon et dirigeant de Blue Origin estime que l'intelligence artificielle ne supprimera pas massivement les emplois. Selon lui, elle permettra au contraire d'accélérer la création de nouveaux produits, services et entreprises, au point de provoquer une pénurie de main-d'œuvre. Il a également réaffirmé sa conviction que la conquête spatiale jouera un rôle important dans le développement futur de l'humanité et dans la gestion de certaines activités industrielles aujourd'hui réalisées sur Terre.Yann Le Cun et la prochaine génération d'IAAutre figure incontournable du salon, Yann Le Cun a rappelé sa vision d'une intelligence artificielle dépassant les modèles de langage actuels. Le scientifique, associé à Meta et fondateur de AI2B Labs, défend le concept des « World Models », une approche destinée à permettre aux machines de mieux comprendre le monde réel. Selon lui, chacun disposera demain de multiples agents IA capables d'assister les humains dans leur vie personnelle et professionnelle.Robotique : des progrès visibles mais encore limitésComme chaque année, les robots humanoïdes attirent l'attention des visiteurs. Parmi les acteurs présents figurent notamment Unitree Robotics, AgiBot, Wandercraft et Enchanted Tools. Si les avancées mécaniques sont désormais impressionnantes, le principal défi reste l'intégration d'une intelligence suffisamment performante pour reproduire efficacement les comportements humains dans des situations réelles.La souveraineté numérique comme fil rougeLa question de la souveraineté technologique traverse l'ensemble du salon. Comment tirer parti des innovations américaines et asiatiques tout en préservant une autonomie stratégique européenne ? De nombreuses entreprises tentent d'apporter des réponses à cet enjeu, notamment dans les domaines du cloud, de l'intelligence artificielle et du calcul avancé. L'informatique quantique figure également parmi les sujets les plus observés cette année, avec notamment des démonstrations sur le stand d'OVHcloud.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Dr. Sian Proctor grew up the daughter of a NASA hidden figure, with the stars in her sights until a pair of glasses at age fourteen seemed to close the door on her dream of becoming a military aviator. She kept reaching anyway, pursuing a career in geoscience and science communication, coming agonizingly close to NASA selection before receiving a rejection that sent her life in a different direction. In this episode, Dr. Sian Proctor talks about the long, winding road from that childhood dream to becoming the first Black woman to pilot a spacecraft; hitting a low point after a painful divorce; and the unexpected creative awakening that ultimately launched her to space. And once she got there, she did what she's always done: made art.

Bloomberg reported that SpaceX shares rose after a record IPO and were set to extend gains. The company operates both launch services and the Starlink satellite broadband network, supported by multi-year contracts with NASA and the U.S. Space Force. SpaceX executed ninety six orbital launches in 2023 and had more than five thousand Starlink satellites in orbit by mid 2024. A strong listing can reset valuation benchmarks for peers such as Rocket Lab, Iridium, and Viasat while influencing private competitors like Blue Origin and AST SpaceMobile. Founders should watch governance choices, employee liquidity, and lockup terms, along with regulatory requirements from the FAA and FCC. The aftermarket will inform how analysts model unit economics and how investors price capital-intensive growth in aerospace and adjacent industries.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Decía Carl Sagan que somos polvo de estrellas. Una frase poética pero literal. Esos granos diminutos generados en el espacio interestelar acabaron aglutinándose para formar asteroides, lunas y planetas. Y en última instancia, la vida, al menos como la conocemos en la Tierra. Un equipo internacional, liderado por el CSIC, ha logrado simular la formación de ese polvo en laboratorio. Hemos hablado con José Ángel Martín Gago y Gonzalo Santoro, autores del estudio. -La NASA ha presentado a los cuatros astronautas que integrarán la misión Artemis III, prevista para 2027, con la presencia por primera vez de un miembro de la ESA, el italiano Luca Parmitano. Se trata de un vuelo de prueba de unas dos semanas en órbita terrestre que pondrá a prueba la capacidad de la nave Orión para acoplarse en el espacio con versiones de los módulos de aterrizaje que desarrollan Blue Origin y SpaceX. Durante años se ha creído que el sistema de orientación de las palomas se debía a receptores lumínicos en los ojos o a partículas magnéticas en el pico, pero como nos ha contado María González Dionis, un estudio sitúa la brújula de estas aves en el hígado. Con Lluís Montoliu hemos analizado el anuncio del Comité Olímpico Internacional de que solo las mujeres biológicas podrán competir en las pruebas femeninas de las olimpiadas y el polémico método genético que se empleará en la determinación del sexo de las deportistas. Jesús Pérez Gil nos ha hablado de una nueva familia de liposomas, capaces de transportar fármacos en su interior y liberarlos mediante un pequeño aumento de la temperatura. Y en nuestra sección Mujer y ciencia, Eulalia Pérez Sedeño nos ha acercado a la biografía de María Josefa Jiménez Cisneros, pionera de la arqueología clásica gaditana. Se interesó por los espacios artesanales romanos y la epigrafía sobre ánforas y elaboró la primera carta arqueológica de Cádiz. Escuchar audio

When Blue Origin's New Glenn spacecraft exploded in an enormous fireball during a ground test a couple weeks ago, it sent shockwaves not only through the air, but through NASA's timeline for the upcoming Artemis missions. It also came at an especially bad time for Jeff Bezos' rocket company—just days after it was awarded a slew of NASA contracts to deliver equipment to the moon. Blue Origin had also been expected to play a major role in the upcoming Artemis III and IV missions, but that's now more up in the air depending on how soon the company can rebuild its only launchpad. And with NASA's Artemis III crew announcement this week, Guest Host Jane Lindholm sits down with space reporters Ken Chang and Brendan Byrne to break it all down and what's next for the space program. Guests: Ken Chang is a science reporter at the New York Times, where he covers NASA and the solar system.

This week, Poll Hub examines the intersection of space exploration, private wealth, and public trust. SpaceX is preparing for a historic IPO that will make the company the most valuable in the world, at least for a time. It should also push Elon Musk's personal wealth to a level never seen before. The conversation goes beyond the stock market to ask what this moment says about concentrated wealth in America, the role billionaires (and now trillionaires) play in public life, and how Americans view the relationship between money, influence, and power. We also examine the future of the U.S. space program after Blue Origin's rocket explosion at Cape Canaveral. The setback comes at a critical time for NASA's Artemis program and raises broader questions about the country's reliance on private space companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX to reach the moon and, eventually, Mars. Public opinion shows that Americans remain proud of NASA and supportive of space exploration, but they are far less certain about whether private companies can deliver on ambitious timelines. The segment explores the tension between national pride, scientific ambition, and practical doubt. And, for the fun fact, we look at a poll from 2008 that asked about the price Americans would pay to see the stars. The spread from $1 to $20k is kinda amazing!
Today's Headlines: Iran shot down a US Army helicopter yesterday, the US responded with strikes on Iranian air defense systems, both crew members are stable, and stock futures dropped immediately — so the ceasefire is going great. Meanwhile, the World Cup starts tomorrow and the Trump administration is already making it a disaster: the best male referee in Africa was denied entry despite a valid visa, the Iraqi team's vice captain was detained for seven hours at O'Hare, the team photographer was turned away entirely, and Trump is preemptively blaming Europe for any Ebola outbreaks despite zero confirmed cases there. Meanwhile, the House voted to give ICE and Border Patrol $70 billion more for immigration enforcement — $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Border Patrol, and a breezy $5 billion for "unforeseen costs." Anthropic's cofounder published a blog post asking leading AI labs to consider pausing frontier AI development, comparing it to nuclear nonproliferation — the response was a collective "no," with some calling it self-serving given everyone's upcoming IPOs — and this comes as Anthropic is reportedly preparing to release Claude Fable 5, a model it deemed too dangerous for public release just six months ago. Epstein assistant Lesley Groff testified before the House Oversight Committee claiming she "never saw anything improper" after two decades of keeping Epstein's entire schedule, which the committee found highly inconsistent. Tom Steyer conceded the California governor's race, Trump kept pushing election fraud conspiracies about California to the point that a congressman reported a friend canceling their voter registration over Spencer Pratt, and Ken Paxton's own former impeachment attorney endorsed Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, saying Paxton is too focused on appeasing Trump to be a good senator. And finally, NASA announced the Artemis III crew of four astronauts who will orbit Earth practicing lunar lander docking in preparation for a 2028 moon landing — assuming Blue Origin delivers its lander on time, which is uncertain after one of its rockets exploded during a test.

Between budget battles, proposed grant rule changes, and an exploding Blue Origin rocket, there's a lot to cover in U.S. space policy right now. Jack Kiraly, The Planetary Society's director of government relations, joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to walk through a cascade of developments affecting NASA and the broader U.S. science community, including a proposed rule change at the Office of Management and Budget that would hand control of federal research grant decisions to political appointees, bypassing the peer review process that has underpinned U.S. science for decades. Kiraly also discusses a major reorganization at NASA, a new competition for the management of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the fallout from the New Glenn explosion, and what it means for the future of Artemis. Plus, in What's Up, the names of the Artemis III crew are revealed.

Blue Origin's latest rocket test ended in what the company called "an anomaly" — and what everyone else would call an explosion. Reed Albergotti (Semafor) explains why blowing things up is just part of the process and why the US Space Program is probably going to be fine. Then, Kyle Chayka (The New Yorker) pulls back the curtain on the shadow market for pre-IPO equity in OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX. It’s a mania where people are willing to take pre-IPO stock as payment for $2.9M houses. It's frothy out there. Finally, Taylor Lorenz (User Mag) digs into the concept of a ‘permanent underclass’ — the fear that letting AI run rampant could freeze everyone in their current economic position forever.

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-3-2026.1907 TOJO(1) Scott Harold discusses the unprecedented question from Japan's Defense Minister at the Shangri-La Dialogueregarding America's Indo-Pacific commitment. He notes the omission of Taiwan in Secretary Hegseth's speech compared to last year. Japan remains a hawkish front-line ally, despite regional concerns over shifting US national defense priorities.(2) Rebecca Grant describes the proposed Trump class battleship, a nuclear-powered "missile truck" designed for standoff strikes. Unlike traditional battleships, it emphasizes hypersonic attack and laser weaponry. The ship would be highly survivable, defended by Space Force overwatch and advanced electromagnetic warfare techniques.(3) Steve Yates examines the KMT leader's visit to Washington following meetings with Xi Jinping. He expresses concern over the KMT cutting Taiwan's indigenous defense budget. Yates also analyzes Taiwan's "inverted triangle" demographics, where older voters remain more sympathetic to traditional KMT narratives than younger generations.(4) Steve Yates argues the "Thucydides trap" is a manufactured academic concept used by Beijing to suggest inevitable US decline. He emphasizes that the US is not a classical empire and remains globally influential. China uses this rhetoric for political warfare while remaining sensitive to American strength.(5) Michael Bernstam analyzes the humiliating Ukrainian strike on a St. Petersburg oil terminal during Putin's flagship economic forum. Russia's energy sector faces a crisis, forcing a ban on refined exports like gasoline due to refinery damage. Consequently, Russia must increase crude exports to China and India.(6) Michael Bernstam notes the OECD's warning of global recession if the Gulf energy crisis persists. While the US is depleting strategic reserves to maintain supply, it is also increasing domestic production. High prices are triggering "demand destruction," where consumers shift to public transport to mitigate energy costs.(7) Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's CEO expects to resume launches this year despite a recent launchpad explosion. Meanwhile, SpaceX secured $6 billion in Space Force contracts for tracking and communication satellites. China continues rapid development with its Long March 12B, a Falcon 9-style reusable rocket copycat.(8) Bob Zimmerman highlights Curiosity rover data confirming Gale Crater's shifting climate, which once supported warm water. The James Webb Space Telescope detected high methane levels on the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas, suggesting a unique chemical composition. Webb also captured a spectacular infrared image of the galaxy M77.(9) Jonathan Schanzer describes the "ceasefire war" in the Middle East, where Iran continues attacks despite diplomatic efforts. He argues Iran aims to detach Gulf allies like Kuwait from the West. Schanzer advocates for maximum economic pressure on Tehran and increased IDF activity against Iranian proxies.(10) Jonathan Schanzer reports that Israeli forces have reduced Hamas control in Gaza to roughly 40%, aiming for 30%. Hamas is currently trapped in an Israeli "yellow zone" kill zone, making rearmament or offensive operations nearly impossible. Schanzer believes systematic military pressure is creating a viable theory of victory.(11) Titus Techera critiques the evolution of Animal Farm films, noting the newest version depicts Silicon Valley and AI as villains. He argues this shift denatures Orwell's original anti-totalitarian message for modern ideological purposes. The 1954 version remains the most effective educational tool regarding the dangers of tyranny.(12) Gordon Chang asserts that China is a declining power facing economic stagnation and a massive demographic collapse. He notes that the US economy remains superior, particularly in energy and AI. China's youth unemployment is estimated at 35-40%, forcing university graduates into menial roles like shepherding.(13) Jack Burnham discusses how Nvidia chips reach the Chinese military through loopholes in export controls and subsidiaries. He notes bureaucratic confusion over the "AI diffusion rule" allowed Chinese firms to stockpile high-end hardware. Burnham recommends stricter Commerce Department guidance to prevent further military modernization.(14) Jack Burnham explains that Volvo, though manufacturing in the US, is owned by Geely and must comply with Chinese data-sharing laws. He also warns of China's dominance in the biotechnology supply chain. Through state subsidies and "dumping," China threatens the security of US pharmaceutical and generic drug stockpiles.(15) Ryan Streeter honors economist Ed Phelps, who defined dynamism as a culture of grassroots tinkering and indigenous innovation. He explains that growth is driven by experimental mindsets rather than just scientific labs. Streeter notes that dynamic cultures, like Austin or California, naturally attract global risk-takers.(16) Ryan Streeter discusses human flourishing, defining it as the fulfillment of potential through purpose and upward mobility. He argues that dynamic societies improve job satisfaction for hourly workers by providing more options. Conversely, stagnation in Europe results from heavy regulation and a declining cultural valuation of entrepreneurs.One naming consistency flag: segment (15) uses "Ed Phelps" while your earlier preview blurb and outreach email today used "Edmund Phelps." Both are correct—Ed is the informal—but if you want consistency across the day's broadcast, I can swap to Edmund Phelps.

This Week In Startups is made possible by:Northwest Registered Agent - NorthwestRegistereAagent.com/TWISTEvery - Every.ioSentry - Sentry.io/TWISTToday's show:Want to get to space? Several launch companies can help you. SpaceX, Rocket Lab, the Russians, the list goes on. But what about once you make it upstairs, then what? Impulse Space CEO and CTO Tom Mueller is building the next stage of our orbital economy. With its Mira and Helios spacecraft, we'll soon be able to take mass from lower orbits to higher orbits, or even to the Moon, with ease.Meanwhile, venture capitalists are enamored with the idea of humanoid robots — robots share our shape, our work environment, and even our tools. But startups like Dusty Robotics are taking a different tack; instead of building human-shaped robots, Dusty has built a small, wheeled 'bot that can mark out building sites quickly and accurately. And it's doing more revenue than all humanoid robotics companies combined, I reckon. Dusty's CEO, Dr. Tessa Lau, joins Alex to go deep on purpose-built robots in today's build-crazy market.Timestamps:0:00 Blue Origin, and why fixing things in orbit is hard2:19 What Mira is and what it does4:35 Why was the commercial demand for Mira softer than expected5:20 Space Force demand and the GEO-capable Mira7:08 Helios: a "rocket on top of a rocket."10:10 Sentry - Your team should be focused on shipping features — not chasing down bugs.

As militarized drone technology rapidly reshapes global warfare, national security officials are turning their focus to potential threats right here at home. This summer presents unprecedented security challenges, with massive crowds expected for America's 250th anniversary events—including a historic UFC fight on the White House South Lawn—and for the World Cup tournament, which is being hosted at multiple venues across the country. Brett Velicovich, a former Delta Force intelligence analyst, founder of Powerus, and FOX News Contributor, joins FOX News' Lucas Tomlinson to discuss the threats drones pose to the public at large events, what security officials must do to be ready, and how drone technology is revolutionizing modern warfare.A massive explosion at the Cape Canaveral launch pad last week forced Blue Origin to scrub their highly anticipated launch of its New Glenn rocket, pushing the potential of another mission to next year. Clayton Anderson, a retired NASA astronaut who spent 30 years at the agency and lived on the International Space Station, joins to discuss the impact of the explosion on NASA's Artemis missions, the engineering challenges of building a lunar base, and how private consortiums like Blue Origin and SpaceX are shaping the future of space exploration.

SCHEDULE THE JBS, 5-29-26.457 THE AMBROSIAN ILIAD.(1) Jeff Bliss discusses the Los Angeles mayoral race between incumbent Karen Bass, who faces criticism over homelessness and crime, and unconventional candidate Spencer Pratt, who utilizes social media and "guerrilla campaigning" to gain traction.(2) Jeff Bliss highlights Las Vegas's pursuit of an NBA team to complete its status as a global sports capital, while the Fertitta family acquires Caesar's Palace, consolidating power among the city's casino billionaires.(3) Professor Richard Epstein analyzes the legal history of birthright citizenship and Donald Trump's executive order, arguing that the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted and that the child's status should depend on the parent's.(4) Professor Richard Epstein describes the Trump administration's $1.776 billion "slush fund" as a fraudulent private agreement, noting that despite its likely illegality, legal standing requirements make it difficult for anyone to successfully challenge.(5) Jim McTague reports on Lancaster County's economy, noting record-breaking gasoline sales at Costco despite rainy weather, the rise of retirement-driven healthcare, and local "Luddite" opposition to a proposed data center in Columbia.(6) Veronique de Rugy discusses a proposed California tax on billionaires, warning it will drive high earners away and reduce state revenue, while a competing initiative seeks to protect regular citizens' savings from taxation.(7) Bob Zimmerman examines a massive Blue Origin rocket explosion that has grounded the New Glenn program and delayed NASA's Artemis missions, leaving SpaceX as the only viable private partner for immediate lunar goals.(8) Bob Zimmerman discusses mysterious subsurface changes in the sun and conflicting data regarding water ice at the lunar South Pole, while highlighting Mars' "brain terrain" as evidence of significant near-surface ice deposits.(9) Francis Rose details the Department of Veterans Affairs' ambitious rollout of a new electronic health record system in Michigan, aiming for a seamless "enlistment to grave" digital history for every member of the military.(10) Francis Rose explores the security risks of electronic health records, explaining how nation-states like China seek bulk data for espionage and how the government utilizes "zero trust" technology to deter sophisticated machine-speed hacks.(11) Gene Marks reports from Nashville that mid-market companies are aggressively adopting AI to supplement labor shortages rather than replace workers, while also navigating the complexities of receiving refunds for previously paid tariffs.(12) Gene Marks questions surveys claiming 93% small business growth and dismisses claims that AI will eliminate white-collar jobs soon, asserting that human workers will naturally adapt to new technology as they have historically.(13) Henry Sokolski argues that no inherent "right to enrichment" exists under the NPT, warning that Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional power plants create dangerous targets and risk a "hot spot" of nuclear-armed nations.(14) Henry Sokolski discusses Russia's "gray warfare" tactics against NATO, including drone provocations and sabotage of European infrastructure, warning that the United States is not taking these threats seriously enough compared to Europe.(15) Conrad Black discusses Alberta's threat to secede from Canada if the federal government blocks oil pipelines, detailing the political maneuvering between Premier Danielle Smith, indigenous groups, and Prime Minister candidate Mark Carney.(16) Lorenzo Fiori reports on a record-breaking Italian heat wave and the poor market reception of Ferrari's new electric vehicle, while noting that affordable Chinese EVs are rapidly becoming the top-selling cars in Italy.
Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded yesterday, and miraculously, no one was harmed. The Trump administration released a new website about aliens in America, and it ends with a twist. Glenn reacts to all the performers who are backing out of the America 250 event due to its "divisive" nature. What is so divisive about celebrating America's 250th birthday? Glenn addresses a recent Huffington Post article on the rise in society of the use of the word "retard." Glenn criticizes Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson after she dissented from even her liberal colleagues in a recent SCOTUS decision. Glenn speaks to Stanford University student Taryn Thomas, who was a pro-Palestinian activist who had a change of heart after visiting an exhibit paying tribute to the victims of the Nova Music Festival atrocity. Glenn dives deeper into the true reason why performers are backing out of the America 250 concert celebration. BlazeTV host Steve Deace joins to discuss the controversy surrounding the America 250 event and how Americans should celebrate this milestone. Glenn explains why he has devoted this summer to educating the younger generations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-28-26.1890 VIKINGS(1) Anatol Lieven discusses Moscow's escalation and the future of Ukraine negotiations, noting that Russia has threatened targeted strikes on Ukrainian headquarters in Kyiv. High casualty rates and stalled front lines contribute to a mood of frustration in Moscow.(2) Anatol Lieven examines the struggle for UK Labour Party leadership, where Andy Burnham is the preferred candidate to replace Keir Starmer but must first win a by-election. The rising Reform Party poses a significant threat to established political figures.(3) Josh Rogin discusses the Trump-Xi summit, noting that the President's visit to Beijing featured major CEOs but yielded no new trade agreements. Both nations remain locked in a trade war with mismatched expectations regarding economic cooperation.(4) Josh Rogin examines upcoming Section 301 investigations that will address Chinese forced labor and dumping. Simultaneously, a critical shortage of magnets from China is impacting the production of U.S. defense technology and fighter jets.(5) Evan Ellis describes turmoil in Bolivia, where supporters of Evo Morales have blockaded La Paz, causing severe humanitarian shortages. These groups utilize military-style tactics to protect drug territories and pressure the government while Morales evades justice.(6) Evan Ellis examines electoral crossroads in Colombia and Peru, with Colombia facing a choice between leftist and pro-U.S. candidates in its upcoming election. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori leads a narrow race with implications for regional security and Chinese influence.(7) Evan Ellis discusses legacies and alliances in Brazil, Venezuela, and Cuba, where Flavio Bolsonaro seeks U.S. alignment in Brazil, while the U.S. conducts military exercises near Venezuela. Meanwhile, the U.S. offers financial aid to Cuba to encourage democratic and economic transitions.(8) Evan Ellis previews Pope Leo's historic visit to South America, including his former missionary grounds. In Argentina, President Milei struggles with declining approval as Peronist opposition organizes for future electoral challenges.(9) Stephen Mazie discusses Supreme Court challenges to birthright citizenship and the President's power over the Federal Reserve. Rulings could drastically redefine executive authority and independent federal agencies.(10) Stephen Mazie examines the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which has disrupted primary elections by allowing the elimination of majority-minority districts. This reflects a long-term effort by the conservative majority to weaken federal oversight.(11) Jeff McCausland analyzes the tense naval standoff between U.S. and Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz. Critics argue the administration failed to anticipate the blockade or effectively address regional Iranian proxies.(12) Jeff McCausland discusses Russian casualties and NATO's growing nuclear anxiety, noting that Russia has reportedly suffered 500,000 deaths in Ukraine, creating severe manpower shortages. Consequently, European allies like France are considering moving nuclear assets eastward due to waning confidence in U.S. support.(13) Simon Constable and Jim McTague examine global commodities and the economic impact of war, noting that high energy prices, including $8 diesel in France, are straining consumer budgets. While some commodity prices are stabilizing, the ongoing conflict in Iran continues to drive global inflation.(14) Simon Constable and Jim McTague discuss the leadership vacuum in the United Kingdom as internal Labour Party disputes intensify. Some elites are calling for Tony Blair's return while the Reform Party gains traction among dissatisfied voters.(15) Douglas Messier and David Livingston discuss the Starship 12 mission, which achieved significant milestones despite booster failures. NASA has also awarded major contracts to Blue Origin for lunar rovers and a specialized base lander.(16) Douglas Messier and David Livingston examine NASA's phased plan to establish a permanently crewed moon base by 2032. The timeline involves uncrewed test landings and orbital refueling to prepare for future human missions.
(15) Douglas Messier and David Livingston discuss the Starship 12 mission, which achieved significant milestones despite booster failures. NASA has also awarded major contracts to Blue Origin for lunar rovers and a specialized base lander.APRIL 1956
