Los retos del programa Artemis hacen que Estados Unidos dude de llegar a la Luna antes que China.  La carrera espacial se enciende: el exadministrador de la NASA Jim Bridenstine advirtió que Estados Unidos puede no llegar antes que China a la Luna.   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  En una audiencia en el Senado de Estados Unidos, Jim Bridenstine, quien fue jefe de la NASA entre 2018 y 2021, advirtió que el país puede perder la carrera lunar frente a China. El programa Artemis enfrenta problemas técnicos como el reabastecimiento de combustible en órbita, el costo del cohete SLS y la falta de un módulo lunar listo. Mientras tanto, China avanza con rapidez y planea llevar astronautas a la superficie de la Luna antes de 2030. Esta discusión refleja tensiones políticas y tecnológicas en un momento en que se debate si la democracia puede sostener el ritmo de una carrera espacial tan exigente. ¿Logrará Estados Unidos llegar antes que China?  Quizás quieras oír aquí el episodio "Artemis I" de El Siglo 21es Hoy.El tiempo y la tecnología corren en contra de Artemis  Bridenstine habló sin rodeos: la arquitectura de Artemis es “extraordinariamente compleja”. Explicó que para alunizar con el cohete Starship de SpaceX se necesitarán más de una docena de lanzamientos en poco tiempo. ¿Por qué tantos? Porque hay que llenar de combustible un vehículo enorme en órbita, algo nunca probado con líquidos criogénicos en el espacio. Para que se entienda: es como intentar llenar de gasolina un avión en pleno vuelo, pero a temperaturas cercanas a los -250 °C. Y mientras esto se resuelve, China avanza con una estrategia más directa, con cohetes pesados que reducen la necesidad de operaciones tan arriesgadas.  La preocupación es doble: técnica y política. Bridenstine advirtió que Starship aún no es seguro para humanos y que Blue Origin tampoco tiene listo su módulo Blue Moon Mk2. Además, el cohete SLS es tan costoso que no puede sostenerse a largo plazo. A esto se suman tensiones internas: recortes presupuestales propuestos por el presidente Donald Trump, la salida de miles de empleados de la NASA y la crítica de que el plan fue decidido en un vacío de liderazgo, entre su salida y la llegada de Bill Nelson como nuevo administrador. Mientras tanto, China prueba nuevos módulos y habla incluso de instalar una planta nuclear en la superficie lunar. ¿Se puede perder esta segunda carrera espacial?  No todos comparten la visión pesimista. Sean Duffy, administrador interino de la NASA y también secretario de Transporte, declaró que Estados Unidos sí va a ganar esta carrera. Dijo que la meta es regresar astronautas a la Luna antes de que termine el mandato actual de Trump y que el programa Artemis seguirá, aunque con menos dinero. Además, Jared Isaacman, empresario y astronauta privado, defendió el valor de la complejidad: si Artemis logra demostrar el reabastecimiento en órbita, abrirá la puerta a viajes más ambiciosos, incluso a Marte. En otras palabras: los obstáculos pueden ser la inversión necesaria para un futuro más grande.  La carrera espacial de los años 60 enfrentó a Estados Unidos con la Unión Soviética. Hoy, el rival es China, un país con una economía diez veces mayor que la de Rusia en su momento. China ya puso rovers en la cara oculta de la Luna y tiene planes de alunizaje tripulado para 2030. Mientras tanto, Estados Unidos no pisa la superficie lunar desde 1972 con la misión Apollo 17. El programa Artemis I voló sin tripulación en 2022, y Artemis II —con astronautas— aún espera su lanzamiento. La diferencia es clara: mientras Estados Unidos busca un sistema complejo y sostenible, China persigue una meta concreta y política. Y en la historia, llegar primero siempre ha tenido un valor simbólico muy fuerte.  La carrera lunar entre Estados Unidos y China enfrenta problemas técnicos, políticos y estratégicos. La pregunta es si el reto de Artemis dará frutos o si China aprovechará la demora. Sigue cada detalle en el pódcast Flash Diario.  EE. UU. duda de llegar a la Luna antes que China. Artemis es complejo y caro. China planea alunizar en 2030.  

U.S. Transportation Secretary and Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy recently announced plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon. He says it will be crucial to compete with the growing lunar ambitions of China and Russia. Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine recently joined FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster to explore Secretary Duffy's call for American nuclear reactors in space and how they could be used as an energy source to fuel future space missions and the development of the moon. Bridenstine explained how important it is for the U.S. to win the modern space race against China and Russia. He also broke down the evolving legal debate over colonizing the moon and why he predicts that mining rare metals there will become both very lucrative and vital to America's national and economic security. The former congressman and Navy pilot also weighed in on the legacy of Jim Lovell, the astronaut best known as the commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13, who passed away earlier this month. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

Over 50 years after Americans walked on the moon for the first time, the U.S. finds itself in a new modern space race.  Several countries are now eagerly trying to land on the dark side of the moon in an effort to one day tap its resources.  Just this week, India became the fourth nation on Thursday to successfully land on the moon. That was just days after Russia's first lunar mission in nearly five decades failed.  Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine joined Chris Foster earlier this week, just before India' historic success, to discuss why there is an urgency to land on the south pole of the moon and why the water, and minerals there matter so much. Bridenstine explained how establishing bases near and on the moon could benefit private businesses and be a launching pad to future Mars missions. Bridenstine also explained why the he fears China will establish a moon base first and why it's important the government takes the new moon race very seriously.  We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear our entire conversation with Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

Despite their being several more months of the year left to go, right around now is the time of each year when a big share of the "comedians to watch" lists come out. Namely, the Just For Laughs Montreal New Faces of Comedy and Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch came out recently, highlighting what are supposed to be 2023's class of comedians you should be paying attention to if you haven't done so already. That said, there is much more nuance that goes into picking the many dozens of comics between those two lists (FYI, Vulture's Comedians You Should and Will Know List has yet to come out) and we enlisted comedy expert and historian and beloved comic Mike Bridenstine to make choice picks from those already highly selective picks. Essentially, Bridenstine and us do an all-star line-up of JFL and Variety's all-star line-up in this very special episode of TCB Field Report.

The collectors and curators of comedy history are rare, but they are usually delightful beings to not only shoot the breeze with, but learn the tenor of a comedy scene in decades past. One of our favorite comedy folks, Mike Bridenstine, transplanted from a time period of Chicago comedy that has vastly influenced comedy at this very moment, has captured an exhaustive history of those years in his book The Perfect Amount of Wrong, which boasts the early days of Kumail Nanjiani, Hannibal Buress, Cameron Esposito, Jena Friedman, and many more. We talk to Bridenstine about what it takes to pull off a historical account of comedy, why to do it, and what is holding back TCB's Jake Kroeger from doing his own comedy history book. Also, Mike really wanted this episode to be called "Butthole Vietnam" and we love making our guests happy.

Link: https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/china-launches-mission-bring-back-material-moon-rcna184 China launched an ambitious mission on Tuesday to bring back rocks and debris from the moon's surface for the first time in more than 40 years — an undertaking that could boost human understanding of the moon and of the solar system more generally. Chang'e 5 — named for the Chinese moon goddess The mission's key task is to drill 2 meters (almost 7 feet) beneath the moon's surface and scoop up about 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of rocks and other debris to be brought back to Earth, according to NASA. The mission, called Chang'e-5, is the latest step in an ambitious space program that China hopes will culminate with an international lunar research station and ultimately a human colony on the moon by the 2030s. The entire Chang'e-5 mission, from liftoff to the recovery of the rock samples, will be over in less than a month. How Will Joe Biden Handle Outer Space? Link: https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/11/how-will-joe-biden-handle-outer-space/#slide-1 Even Trump's critics will admit his administration has been great for space. Though reactions to the creation of the Space Force were mixed, its strategic importance hardly needs defending in light of China's and Russia's increased space capabilities. Other areas — reactivating the National Space Council, promoting the commercialization of space, and revitalizing NASA — have been generally lauded as victories. We can afford a little optimism here. After all, Biden has a history of supporting space initiatives. He almost certainly won't pull the plug on the Space Force. While the timeline for various Artemis Program missions will be pushed back (and space-policy experts already believed dates for key missions were motivated more by politics than sound engineering and logistics), it's unlikely these will be shuttered, either. Biden won't go full steam ahead into space the way Trump did, but neither is he looking to reverse recent progress. Jim Bridenstine, who has served as NASA Administrator since 2018, is among Trump's most successful appointments. Bridenstine's accomplishments include shepherding forward the Artemis Program and overseeing the Artemis Accords, a set of principles for international cooperation in space. The Accords are a milestone because they set the stage for future manned lunar missions. Unfortunately, Bridenstine has said he won't stay on at NASA, even if asked. Arecibo radio telescope, damaged beyond repair, seen from space Link: https://www.space.com/arecibo-telescope-damage-from-space-satellite-photos Satellites spotted gashes in the damaged Arecibo Observatory, which is set to be decommissioned by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The 57-year-old radio telescope has sustained two cable failures which has made its massive dish too unstable to safely repair, according to the NSF. The cable failures have also damaged the massive dish, which spans a whopping 1,000 feet (305 meters) across, gouging holes in its delicate metal panels. "According to engineering assessments, even attempts of stabilization or testing the cables could result in accelerating the catastrophic failure," Ralph Gaume, director of the NSF's astronomy division, said during the news conference. "Engineers cannot tell us the safety margin of the structure, but they have advised NSF that the structure will collapse in the near future on its own." Arecibo Observatory, which is in Puerto Rico, is the location of the world's second-largest single-dish radio telescope. Because radio telescopes can work at all times of day and in all kinds of weather, the observatory operates 24 hours a day. While the observatory does a lot of astronomy work, it is perhaps most famous for being the site of the huge Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) message directed at the globular cluster M13 in 1974. Besides its scientific work, Arecibo is known for being the location of a climactic fight in "Goldeneye," a 1995 James Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan. Arecibo message Arecibo broadcast a pictorial message into space in 1974, aiming for M13 — a globular cluster of stars. It will take some time for the message to get there, as M13 is about 21,000 light-years away. Show Stuff Join the episode after party on Discord!

The capsule, named Resilience, and its SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket rolled out to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida late Monday into early Tuesday (Nov. 9-10), NASA officials said. The Falcon 9 is scheduled to launch Saturday evening (Nov. 14), sending four astronauts — NASA's Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker and Japan's Soichi Noguchi — to the orbiting lab on Crew-1, SpaceX's first operational astronaut mission for NASA. NASA's Commercial Crew Program awarded SpaceX a $2.6 billion contract in 2014 to fly at least six operational crewed missions to the space station. The six-month-long Crew-1 is the first of those contracted flights, but it won't be SpaceX's first-ever astronaut mission. That distinction goes to Demo-2, a test flight that sent NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the station for two months this past summer. SpaceX Kicks-Off Assembly on First Super Heavy Starship Booster in South Texas SpaceX's Super Heavy might be effectively complete in one month, and we couldn't be more excited. Link: https://interestingengineering.com/spacex-kicks-off-assembly-on-first-super-heavy-starship-booster-in-south-texas SpaceX kicks-off Starship Super Heavy assembly in South Texas Technically, SpaceX could build much smaller booster prototypes for the initial test flights into orbit — this might be done via modifying the tank design of Starship — but rocketry isn't an exceedingly modular enterprise, Teslarati reports. However, whether the move comes via confidence or contingency, SpaceX is jumping directly into Starship prototype development, toward a full-scale Super Heavy booster production and testing platform. Super Heavy could be one of SpaceX's easiest projects Indeed, in an inversion of the typical relationship, the next-gen rocket's booster will probably be much simpler than the upper stage — which would be the largest spacecraft with reusable parts and upper stage in the world. Lacking a need for a tiled heat shield, aerodynamic control surfaces (discounting Falcon-style grid fins), a conical nose, and possibly even internal header tanks, the only serious challenge Super Heavy faces for the first time is developing an engine section capable of feeding and supporting up to 28 Raptor engines. Jim Bridenstine will step aside as NASA chief when President-elect Biden takes over: report Link: https://www.space.com/nasa-chief-bridenstine-step-aside-president-biden NASA will apparently be getting a new leader after president-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine won't remain in the agency's lead role in the Biden administration even if asked, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report reported on Sunday (Nov. 8). "You need somebody who has a close relationship with the president of the U.S. ... somebody trusted by the administration …. including OMB [Office of Management and Budget], National Space Council, National Security Council," Bridenstine told Irene Klotz, space editor for Aviation Week, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report's parent publication. "I think I would not be the right person for that in a new administration." "There is a political agreement that America needs to do big things in space exploration, that we need to lead the world ... There have been lessons learned from the past, and I think Congress is in a good position to make sure that we have sustainable programs going forward," he said in one of the tweeted snippets. And in another one, he stressed that "there are a lot of people that can do great work as the NASA administrator." This Bacterium Survived on The Outside of The Space Station For a Whole Damn Year Link: https://www.sciencealert.com/this-bacterium-survived-on-the-outside-of-the-space-station-for-a-year A year in space is no walk in the park. Just ask Scott Kelly, the American astronaut who spent a year on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015. His long-term stay in space changed his DNA, telomeres, and gut microbiome, he lost bone density, and he still had sore feet three months later. So, it's quite a feat that a species of bacterium first found in a can of meat, Deinococcus radiodurans, was still alive and kicking after a year spent living on a specially designed platform outside the pressurised module of the ISS. Researchers have been investigating these mighty microbes for a while; back in 2015, an international team set up the Tanpopo mission on the outside of the Japanese Experimental Module Kibo, to put hardy bacterial species to the test. Now, D. radiodurans has passed with flying colours. This isn't the longest time D. radiodurans has been kept in these conditions – back in August we wrote about a sample of the bacterium being left up there for three whole years. But the team weren't trying for a world record, instead they were trying to uncover what makes D. radiodurans just so good at surviving in these extreme conditions. So, after a year of radiation, freezing and boiling temperatures, and no gravity, the researchers got the spacefaring bacteria back down to Earth, rehydrated both a control that had spent the year on Earth and the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) sample, and compared their results. The survival rate was a lot lower for the LEO bacteria compared to the control version, but the bacteria that did survive seemed to be doing okay, even if they had turned a little different to their Earth-bound brethren.

Jim Bridenstine was nominated by President Donald Trump, confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and sworn in as NASA’s 13th administrator on April 23, 2018. Bridenstine was elected in 2012 to represent Oklahoma’s First Congressional District. In Congress, he served on the Armed Services Committee and the Science, Space and Technology Committee. Bridenstine’s career in federal service began in the U.S. Navy, flying the E-2C Hawkeye off the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. He flew combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and accrued most of his 1,900 flight hours and 333 carrier-arrested landings. In today's episode, we break down NASA's next moon landing, heading to Mars, and how curiosity is one of leaders greatest tools.

Abstract: Reversed visual feedback during unimanual training increases transfer of skills to the opposite untrained hand and modulates plasticity in motor areas of the brain. However, it is unclear if unimanual training with reversed visual feedback also affects somatosensory areas. Here we manipulated visual input during unimanual training using left-right optical reversing spectacles and tested whether unimanual training with reversed vision modulates somatosensory cortical excitability to facilitate motor performance. Thirty participants practiced a unimanual ball-rotation task using the right hand with either left-right reversed vision (incongruent visual and somatosensory feedback) or direct vision (congruent feedback) of the moving hand. We estimated cortical excitability in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) before and after unimanual training by measuring somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs). This was done by electrically stimulating the median nerve in the wrist while participants rested, and recording potentials over both hemispheres using electroencephalography. Performance of the ball-rotation task improved for both the right (trained) and left (untrained) hand after training across both direct and reversed vision conditions. Participants with direct vision of the right hand during training showed SEPs amplitudes increased bilaterally. In contrast, participants in the reversed visual condition showed attenuated SEPs following training. The results suggest that cortical suppression of S1 activity supports skilled motor performance after unimanual training with reversed vision, presumably by sensory gating of afferent signals from the movement. This finding provides insight into the mechanisms by which visual input interacts with the sensorimotor system and induces neuroplastic changes in S1 to support skilled motor performance.

Earlier this year, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine demoted one of the spaceflight community's most influential members. Bill Gerstenmaier had served as NASA's associate administrator for Human Exploration and Operations since 2005. However, after ongoing delays with the Space Launch System rocket and the risk of not returning to the moon by 2024, Bridenstine decided a change was needed. Eric Berger is Senior Space Editor at Ars Technica and has been closely following this incident. He told Federal News Network's Eric White what led up to Gerstenmaier's removal, and what it means. Hear more on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
