Many of us have visited the various displays of space shuttles around the US, and it's always a spectacular sight. The shuttle orbiter was huge, and seeing in any configuration is inspirational. Notably, the California Science Center is completing a display of the Endeavor in a launch configuration, which is unique among shuttle installations. But the very first shuttle mockup ever constructed will soon go on public display in its birthplace in Southern California, the city of Downey. This is where North American Rockwell, the builder of all the shuttles, was located until they were absorbed by Boeing decades ago. It was in the Rockwell facility that the first wood-and-aluminum mockup of the shuttle was built, and it's been stored until this day under the control of the Columbia Memorial Space Center. Of special interest: besides its uses as a technical simulator, this mockup was what closed the deal between NASA and Rockwell to build the shuttles and inspired many in Congress to support the program. The museum's Executive Director and President, Ben Dickow, joins us to talk about this magnificent, full-sized shuttle mockup, its history, and future plans. Headlines: • SpaceX's Crew-8 mission returned to Earth after a record-breaking 235 days in space, but one crew member remains in the hospital for additional medical checks • Boeing's Intelsat satellite broke up in geosynchronous orbit, creating around 5,000 pieces of space debris, posing potential long-term threats to other satellites • India announced plans for Chandrayaan-4, a joint lunar sample return mission with Japan, targeting the Moon's south pole in 2027-2028 • Chinese company Deep Blue Aerospace aims to start offering space tourist flights by 2027 on a suborbital rocket and capsule that resembles a hybrid of SpaceX's Dragon and Blue Origin's New Shepard Main Topic - Interview with Ben Dickow: • The Columbia Memorial Space Center houses Inspiration, a full-scale wooden mock-up of the space shuttle built by Rockwell in 1972 • Inspiration was used as an engineering tool and to help secure the shuttle contract for Rockwell • The mock-up features highly detailed interiors, including a crew cabin, flight deck, and cargo bay • After being mothballed for years, Inspiration was recently moved to the Columbia Memorial Space Center for display in a new building • Southern California will soon have the first and last space shuttles on display, with Inspiration in Downey and Endeavour in Los Angeles • Ben emphasizes the importance of preserving the shuttle's history and using it as an educational tool to inspire future generations of engineers and scientists • The emotional power of seeing a space shuttle up close and the human stories behind its creation are key to the exhibit's impact Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Ben Dickow Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Hosts this Episode Max Flight, with contributions from Hillel Glazer, Brian Coleman, and our Main(e) Man Micah.

On episode 81, Micah and I have the privilege of interviewing the Flight Team interns from the California Science Center. But first, Listener Paul writes in to let us know he wasn't happy with our production quality / sound levels. Through a bunch of emails, thinks get pretty hysterical. Then I talk with Micah about not having any regrets... but he still won't upgrade his ancient PC to a Mac... at least not until Microsoft stops support for Windows 10. Listener Lu wants to know if we have ever witnessed any physical violence on a airplane. This question stems from the incident where a United Airlines flight attendant has part of his shirt bitten off by a human passenger. We then play the recorded interviews we conducted with the Summer Flight Team Interns from the California Science Center. And I can not stress enough how great these kids are and how lucky we were to be able to interview them. They are very special people and it was great to be able to help inspire them during the 8 week program. We hope you enjoy the interviews! The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia.

The deep sea is a mysterious place full of many different life forms! Some that may seem strange yet incredibly amazing to us. But how can we learn more about these creatures if the deep sea can be so hard to explore!?   Do you ever wonder what creatures live in the deep sea?   In today's episode the Science Center interns; Nathan Arriaza, Gerardo Martinez, Jose Cornejo, and Jason Mejia have a conversation with Senior Educator here at the California Science Center, Brittany Munson. She tells us all about her month-long deep-sea exploration on the ship Nautilus, studying deep sea ecosystems and some of the cool living things she encountered!   Have a question you've been wondering about?

In this follow up Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Steve Lewis, Urban Design Principal with the Portland-based firm, ZGF Architects. Steve was also a candidate for the 2026 President at the American Institute of Architects (AIA). He is a facilitator of partnerships and alliances between groups and individuals who seek to use architecture and design to effect positive change to our world.Steve brings to ZGF a wealth of experience across urban planning and design, most notably holding a post with the City of Detroit where he served as the Design Director for the Central Region of Detroit's Department of Planning and Development as well as holding a Professorship in Practice, leading design studios focusing on community issues and urban planning at the University of Michigan. He was a founding partner of the firm RAW International in Los Angeles where he helped build a successful design practice over a 20-year period and collaborated with ZGF on memorable projects including the Exposition Park Master Plan and the California Science Center that made a real difference in the fabric of their communities.From Southern California to Detroit and back, Steve's ethics-driven urban planning and design has made the cities he's worked in not only more aesthetically beautiful, but also more equitable and representative of the surrounding communities. Following in the footsteps of his father, an architect with a drive for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, Steve designs, speaks, mentors, and volunteers tirelessly to advocate for what he believes in and to see those values embodied in the built environment. He and Ted discuss his AIA Presidential candidacy and campaign experience, the elements of sustainable design, digging into embedded materials, energy use, building decarbonization, and electrification. Steve concludes that he is dedicated to equity in design to affect positive change for the future of architecture. 

For the first few episodes of this podcast, we'll take you behind the scenes of the California Science Center to meet some of the people who design and develop exhibits.Imagine for a minute that you're visiting a science center or a museum. You're looking at an exhibit and… you probably have questions. Good thing there's some text posted nearby to help explain what's going on.These bits of interpretive text are called exhibit labels, and you can find them all over museums. If you've been to a museum, you've read a label. Do you ever wonder who writes them?In this episode, we talk to Jennifer Lawrence, the senior exhibit developer at the California Science Center whose job it is to write pretty much everything you read while looking at and playing with our exhibits.Have a question you've been wondering about?

Giant sea bass. Desert tortoise. Leopard shark. These are all examples of creatures you can see on display when you visit the California Science Center. And just like you or me or any of the pets you might have at home, these critters can get sick.Do you ever wonder who takes care of all these different animals when they need to go to the doctor?In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Brittany Stevens, a veterinarian here at the Science Center. She'll tell us all about her vet exam room, how she cares for so many different kinds of animals, and even what it's like to do surgery on fish.Have a question you've been wondering about?

On episode 72, Micah and I talk about my trip to Singapore with my neighbor Shelley.   Listener Claire writes in and tells us how she can relate to Matt Smiths fear of flying as she talks about her experience with a Go Around in Denver. And sadly, there isn't a question this week from Listener Lu. Hey Listener Lu, we want to know where you are??? :-) In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, Listener Hendric updates us on European Compensation, EU261. I ask for help with the project I'm working on at the California Science Center. We are looking for anyone with experience in the field of aviation to make a donation of time, talent or funds to support a program for disadvantaged students. Micah and I then talk about my trip with neighbor Shelley to Singapore. She was surprised to learn we got upgraded to Polaris... which was very nice. The opening and closing music is provided by the Madalitso Youth Choir as they sing their Welcome Song and their Good By song, recorded at the lobby of The Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia. We hope you enjoy the show!

On episode 71, Micah and I talk about my trip to Medford Oregon with my neighbors to drink wine.   But first, we have some Listener Mail from Listener Todd. Todd reminisces about his time in Lodi, CA and not his son is working in the wine industry there. Then we answer a question from Listener Leslie. She wants to know about our oldest airplane we have flown on. And as usual, it's a difficult question to answer. Listener Lu wants to know if we see anything wrong with the new American Airlines pilots' contracts? In Additions, Corrections and Shoutouts, I ask for help with the project I'm working on at the California Science Center. We are looking for anyone with experience in the field of aviation to make a donation of time, talent or funds to support a program for disadvantaged students. Micah and I also share our heartfelt condolences to Listener Matt and his family. Matt lost his mom who was 96 years young and just an incredible woman who I had the pleasure of meeting. Micah and I lighten up the conversation and talk about my experiences on Avelo. Sadly, they are no longer the airline I want to love. Then we conclude the show with a mention of the Singapore meetup at LeVeL33 on Friday April 19 at 7:00PM. LeVeL33 is located at the Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1 on the 33rd floor. I hope to meet you there!

Welcome to Astronomy Daily! In today's episode, we discuss the importance of planetary protection policies and the role of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) in formulating and updating them. These policies aim to prevent the harmful introduction of biological and organic contamination during space missions and ensure that scientific exploration does not adversely impact the new worlds we visit. We also highlight the complex process of displaying the space shuttle Endeavour vertically at the California Science Center. This six-month project involves stacking the shuttle's components, replicating its appearance on a launch pad. Endeavour, which flew 25 missions between 1992 and 2011, will be displayed in its vertical launch position at the Samuel Oscar Nair and Space Center. In another story, astronomers observe a surprising event involving a supermassive black hole named J2-219-51. This black hole's feeding frenzy on surrounding matter generates one of the brightest transient events ever recorded. While scientists are uncertain about the exact cause of this phenomenon, it could be the result of a star venturing too close to the black hole and being torn apart—a process known as spaghettification. Next, we bid farewell to Europe's Ariane 5 rocket, which has officially retired after a successful final launch. The Ariane 5 has served as the European Space Agency's workhorse launch vehicle since 1996, and its last mission deployed telecommunication satellites for the German and Italian governments. However, with the Ariane 5's retirement, Europe faces a gap in available launch vehicles until the completion of the Ariane 6, which has experienced development delays. Lastly, we share a special story about the University of Glasgow's celebration of its links to Albert Einstein. Researchers from the School of Physics and Astronomy planted an apple tree cutting on the campus, taken from Einstein's Summer Home. This tribute honors Einstein's visit to the university 90 years ago, where he received an honorary degree for his contributions to physics. Glasgow scientists have also played a significant role in gravitational wave research, contributing to the detection of these waves and confirming Einstein's theory. That's it for today's episode of Astronomy Daily. For more information, visit spacenuts.io and bitesz.com.#space #astronomy #news #podcast #astronomydaily

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Brian Kenworthy, Design Principal at ZGF Architects based in ZGF's Los Angeles office. Brian shares insights into his work on the California Science Center, Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center in Los Angeles, California. As the permanent home of Endeavour—one of America's most priceless artifacts—California Science Center's 200,000 SF Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center will be a symbol of American ingenuity and its renowned legacy of space exploration.Characterized by a curvilinear design of exterior forms clad in stainless steel, the new addition's architectural expression is inspired by the aerodynamic, fluid geometry of the Endeavour's fuselage, cockpit, wings, and vertical stabilizer. The primary structure will be three stories, while the shuttle gallery will rise six stories—peaking at 200 feet - to accommodate the height of the Endeavour in launch position. To see project photos and details discussed, visit arcat.com/podcast Amie Nulman, Associate Principal of Building Structures at ARUP, Los Angeles, provides additional insight as the lead structural engineer and project manager on the project. This project provided unique challenges and opportunities - a fragile artifact to build around, a flexible warehouse intended to host a variety of extreme displays, engineering expertise across decades and disciplines, and much more.If you enjoy this show, you can find similar content at Gābl Media.

Hello! This is Ever Wonder? from the California Science Center. I'm Jennifer Aguirre.We humans might think we run the world… but we're vastly outnumbered by microscopic creatures we can't see with our own eyes. Soil, air, water… everything around us is full of these tiny microbes. Even a simple puddle can be teeming with life… Ever wonder what lives in a drop of water? On today's episode we chat with Chloé Savard, a microbiology student in Montreal who explores the microscopic world, or microverse, in her free time. She shares her findings through super cool and colorful videos on her Tardibabe social media accounts. We talked to Chloe all about her adventures hunting for microbes and what it's like to share science on social media. She also shared some pretty amazing facts about microbes along the way—check it out!Have a question you've been wondering about?

Last week, the James Webb Space Telescope released its first full-color images of the cosmos, finally showcasing why it is expected to be the world's premier space telescope.Ever wonder how scientists will use the James Webb Space Telescope?Today, we're going to meet someone who has been dreaming for years about what we could see with this technological marvel. Vivian U, PhD (@JustTheLetterU) is an assistant research astronomer at the University of California, Irvine. She will also be one of the first people to conduct research with the James Webb Space Telescope! Vivian explained to us what she hopes to discover by pointing Webb at colliding galaxies and supermassive black holes, and why this telescope is expected to be so good at peering through dust. Celebrate the launch of NASA's newest premiere space science observatory with more virtual activities and events from the California Science Center.Have a question you've been wondering about?

On December 25, 2021, NASA launched the James Webb Space Telescope—the most powerful telescope ever put into space. This $10 billion technical marvel is a complex and massive spacecraft—think of something roughly the size of a tennis court—that scientists and engineers have been working on for decades to explore the deepest reaches of our universe.Many experts view Webb as the rightful successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, which launched in 1990 into a low orbit around Earth. When Hubble didn't work properly, NASA could send astronauts up in a space shuttle to repair it. But here's the tricky part: Webb isn't going into low Earth orbit. Instead, it is in an orbit about a million miles away from Earth, where there's no way to reach it after launch. It needs to work right the first time.Do you ever wonder what it was like to help build the James Webb Space Telescope?Stephanie Hernandez is a systems engineer at Northrop Grumman working on the James Webb Space Telescope. She is part of the team that tests and verifies literally thousands of things on the telescope while it's on the ground first, to make sure that it will work in space later. Stephanie gave us a peek behind the scenes of what it's like to work on a such a technologically complex and high-stakes spacecraft, how she got started at Northrop Grumman as a summer intern, and what this whole experience means to her as a first-generation college student.Relive the launch of NASA's newest premiere space science observatory with more virtual activities and events from the California Science Center.Have a question you've been wondering about?

Everyone loves to go to the dentist, right? After listening to this surprisingly fascinating Fight Back episode, you might not exactly love your dentist, but you will be more informed and even inclined to visit your dentist more often.Our special guest, Dr. Joel Strom, discusses how oral hygiene impacts overall health and how preventive care almost always spares you from losing teeth and other problems. He also addresses a number of questions: Is flossing your teeth more important than brushing? Ever wonder what your wisdom teeth are for? Is gum disease associated with an increased risk of developing heart disease? Can dentists spot sleep apnea in their patients? Dr. Strom is a former President of the California State Dental Board, past Chairman of the California Science Center, and presently is a member of a Dental Advisory Panel at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He also is a practicing dentist and an Adjunct Faculty member at The Forsyth Dental Institute, the only independent research institute in the United States focusing on the connections between oral health and overall wellness.

Annie and Jo review Griffith Park and California Science Center...but those reviews come an hour damn in. Before that, there's lots of gabbing about the wizards, warlocks and the orcs among us, New Year's resolutions, and kids (of course).

Summer fun has begun! Ryan recaps his ride up to Northern California on his BMW for a multi-day mid-week adventure followed by his visit to the California Science Center to check out the Art of the Brick and the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Matthew recaps his son's adventure at Skate Camp and the challenges of building a skateboard when there's an infinite number of parts combinations possible. Matthew also excitedly shares news about NBC's upcoming Ultimate Slip 'N Slide show that's turned into a literal sh!t show. Ryan and Matthew discuss all of the reality shows they've been streaming and discuss fan theories to popular TV shows. The awesome twosome turn to the automotive industry and recap recent notable vehicle launches. There's so much more to mention, but you'll have to hear it for yourself!

When you hear the phrase "Space Tourism", you probably think about buying a very expensive ride on a spaceship ... maybe a visit to the International Space Station. But there is far more to Space Tourism than actually traveling to space. Our guest on this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast is John Spencer, Founder of The Space Tourism Society. Spencer is also an "Outer Space Architect, Author and Space/Future Themed Experience Designer and Developer". Spencer founded the Space Tourism Society (STS) in 1996. With Karen L. Rugg he wrote the first book on space tourism published (2004) in the United States called Space Tourism—Do You Want to Go? He coined the term Space Experience Economy (SEE) in 2005 and has been quoted in over 200 TV and radio shows, newspaper and magazine articles on space tourism. Over $300 million has been invested in building his space/future/Sci-Fi themed concepts to date. He is currently designing and developing a proposed $2B Mars World attraction/resort for Las Vegas, and has a concept for a spacefaring yacht. Almost as many people a year visit space themed facilities (19.2M) as visit the two Universal Studio movie/theme parks (19.9M) Space Themed Facilities: National Air and Space Museum 8,000,000 Disney's EPCOT's “Mission Space” 3,900,000 California Science Center 2,400,000 Kennedy Space Center 1,500,000 Intrepid Sea & Space Museum 1,100,000 Johnson Space Center 1,000,000 Space Camp 850,000 Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum 300,000 Pima Air and Space Museum 170,000 Total 19,200,000 Proposals for over $2 billion in space and Mars themed attractions are currently in the works just in the United States. More on international ventures. Since 2011 over $300 million has been spent for new facilities to display the 4 retired NASA Space Shuttles. The California Science Center in Los Angeles will spend an additional $270M in building a space pavilion to house the Endeavour Space Shuttle stack vertical with all real component. Opening around 2024. And $190 million has been invested in the U.S. to build space simulation attractions since 2003. This includes $120M for the Disney EPCOT Center “Mission Space” attraction and the new Kennedy Space Center's $70M “Shuttle Launch Experience” attraction. The Space Tourism Society recently completed a virtual Space Tourism Conference, and plans to hold an in-person event in, likely in southern California, in 2022.

In episode 2 of Totally Tell Me Everything -- a monthly podcast hosted by podcasters and friends, Sarah Woloski and Bryn MacKinnon -- we tackle the topic of Space! As always, we've got three questions to ask and answer about this episode's topic, so let's get to it, shall we?   Question 1: What is it about space and how did your interest in space begin?   Bryn kicks off the conversation (and reveals just how old she really is) with the Space Shuttle program and then quickly diverts us to a downer story about the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster in 1986. Small redemption in the story about seeing the final space shuttle, Endeavor, on its trip to the California Science Center. Sarah saves the day by sharing the very relatable story of building a remarkably accurate model of the solar system in 3rd grade with her engineer father, Peter Heitman, which sparked her interest in the vastness we call space. We talk at length about the excellent space/science/romance movie, “Contact,” starring Jodi Foster and Matthew McConaughey. And let's not forget Sarah and her mother's shared love of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Related links and rabbit holes: Influence of TV shows, films and books about space: E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Star Wars, Apollo 13, Stephen Hawking's “A Brief History of Time,” Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, The Right Stuff, more The Right Stuff The Very Large Array Art and science come together in the music of space: Alan Silvestri, composer of the soundtracks for Contact and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey Pine Cones vs Pine Nuts   Question 2: What do we want to learn about space?   Interestingly, we both did research on and want to talk about life beyond our planet, but from slightly different angles.   Sarah takes deep into the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, particularly the SETI Institute, the non-profit in Silicon Valley that listens to and analyzes the sounds we can hear from space, with the hope of finding intelligent life out there. SETI was founded 1984, by Tom Pierson and astronomer Jill Tarter, and played a large role in “Contact,” which Sarah assigned Bryn to watch as podcast homework before we recorded this episode. Drake Equation  How many habitable planets are there?  Arecibo collapse COOL PODCAST ALERT: The Science of Sci-Fi Podcast, with Erin MacDonald While Sarah dove into the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, Bryn looked into communication with extraterrestrial intelligence, or CETI. Arecibo message Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Lambros D. Callimahos at the NSA Do we need a special language to talk to aliens?  How do you communicate with an intelligent entity you know nothing about? Or with whom you have no common cultural background? TANGENT: Bryn explores some examples of this that we already have on Earth:   Plants and animals communicate in ways that we have been able to observe or participate in  Trees Bees Dogs can learn "talk" Apes using sign language   Question 3: What are you excited about regarding space?    Sarah can't wait to get involved in space research, and you can, too!   SETI's Planet Patrol: You can inspect stars from home and help with SETI's research Citizen Science for NASA: Collaborate with NASA scientists on many different projects from your cell phone or laptop. NASA Solve: There are problems to solve, and you can get involved! You might even win a competition.   Bryn is excited to catch the space action as it happens. Here's how you can, too!   International Space Station Sign up for Spot the Station, NASA's official alert system for when the ISS is flying over your area ISS Detector app: Another way to get alerts when the ISS will be overhead, but this one has a live ISS cam! Listen to them talking to each other The Mars Rovers! Expedition Mars: Spirit and Opportunity Perseverance on its way to Mars. Landing in February 2021! spaceplace.nasa.gov Where is the Rover?  Follow Perseverance on Twitter!    Tangents and corrections:   Astronaut ice cream, Reese's Pieces, Pia Zadora, Tang, The Black Hole Bryn got this quote so wrong: “Planting seeds in a garden you never get to see” is a line in the song “The World Was Wide Enough” from Hamilton, an American Musical. She blames the pandemic.   Final Thought:   We wrap it up by revisiting Bryn's husband's statement that space exploration is the manifestation of our biggest dreams, goals and questions as humans. Space exploration, whether up there in rockets, shuttles and space stations or from down here on our home planet, captures and expands our imaginations. It is ambitious, dangerous, difficult and risky. But as Ellie Arroway's father says in the movie “Contact” when she asks him if he thinks there's people on other planets: “I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.”    Thank you for joining us for this episode of Totally Tell Me Everything. We're so happy to share this space and time with you.   As always, huge thanks to the totally talented “John Williams of Podcasting,” Rob Dehlinger, his wife, Lisa Dehlinger, and their daughter, Zoe, for our super theme song.
