In this episode, Beth and Chad review two astronaut lectures they attended this week: Working at NASA with astronaut coworkers. Captain Mark Kelly and Colonel Frederick Gregory. Following a mission checklist. Being adventurous and curious.   Key Takeaways: Cpt. Kelly’s experience as a test pilot helped shape him for his time as an astronaut, as did Col. Gregory’s experience as a career pilot. NASA astronauts are primarily trained in operational procedures, they already know how to handle the missions and distractions. You aren’t done with a mission when the mission is over – there are always lessons learned. Know who you are surrounding yourself with and spending your time with.   “Every mission is a new lesson that gets moved forward. Lessons learned were a big thing at NASA.” — Chad Mund    About Beth Mund: Beth’s love for space started as a Space Camp attendee at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where she would return years later as an instructor.  After grad school, Beth worked as a journalist, a technical writer for Motorola, and then went on to serve as a Public Affairs Officer for the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Born in 1955, James Vaughan grew up in the idyllic surroundings of a small town near Akron, Ohio. His father was a scientist and director of research for one of America’s largest corporations. His mother was an artist and a poet.   Vaughan completed high school a year ahead of his classmates and in 1972 left for Chicago and college. He studied both photography and journalism and, while still a student, his freelance work appeared in many of the city’s major magazines and newspapers.   After he earned his degree, Vaughan took a job as an assistant with a large commercial studio. Then in 1977, during a long and cold Chicago Winter, he converted an entire floor of an old factor into his first studio.   Over the next twenty-five years, he worked at the forefront of Chicago’s advertising and fashion industry and was commissioned for a wide variety of advertising and editorial assignments. “My original training in photo-journalism served me well,” says Vaughan. “It brought a sense of realism and sincerity to my work. I have always thought of myself as a storyteller. That’s what the word ‘photography’ really means – ‘to write with light.’”   “I can’t say I was much of a financial success,” laughs Vaughan. “Most of the money went to new ideas and experiments. We were all mad-scientists back then, pushing the envelope in search of the next break-through image.”   With the arrival of the 21st Century, and its limitless digital technology, James Vaughan has been able to return to his small-town roots. Now back in Ohio, he has taught at nearby Kent State University and built a new state of the art studio. “This is the most important time for my work. Away from the demands and distraction of the big city I can be even more creative,” he says.   “After all these decades, I finally have the skill and technology to catch-up to my imagination!”     In this episode, Beth and James discuss:         James’ background in photography and his youth during the space race.         The power of aesthetics in the space program.         Where James finds his inspiration as a space illustrator.         The modern mythology that is the new space exploration.         The role art has always played in new scientific endeavors, including space exploration.     Key Takeaways:         Illustrators, artists, and creative talents are needed in the space program.         When we apply our imagination, we help to share and interpret ideas.         You can do anything…if you love it, you will find a way.   “Surprise! We live in space. Right now, all the time. The idea that we won’t go farther than our front yard is sort of silly. I know there will be ups and downs and trials and tribulations, but it’s inevitable that the human race will expand further and further out into the universe.” — James Vaughan     Connect with James Vaughan: Website: JamesVaughanPhoto.com   About Beth Mund:   Beth’s love for space started as a Space Camp attendee at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where she would return years later as an instructor.  After grad school, Beth worked as a journalist, a technical writer for Motorola, and then went on to serve as a Public Affairs Officer for the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

What was it like to be weightless? Kids questions and astronaut Chiao answers!!     Key Takeaways:         A successful space mission is a success for all of humanity.         The moon is only 3 days away and is similar to Mars with reduced gravity and atmosphere.         Being weightless in a plane does not fully prepare you for continuous weightlessness in space.         Some of the most desolate areas are some of the most beautiful.     “The moon is the perfect place to develop and test all of your hardware. You want to make sure all of the stuff’s going to work before you send it to Mars.

The 1966 Michigan Swamp Gas Case, how it affected Hynek, the UFO community, and Hynek’s career. Close encounters of the first, second, and third kind. IGY, the global tracking network, and Sputnik.     Key Takeaways: Most people report their sightings because they want to know what it was and if anybody else has ever seen the same thing to connect with them. There was no one moment where Dr. Hynek changed his mind about UFOs.

After beginning to read about astronomy, Joseph DalSanto wanted to observe the night sky himself. So, he purchased a telescope as a freshman in high school and, during the past 40 years, has developed an in-depth knowledge and familiarity with the night sky due to hundreds of evening observations.     “I’ve used and built numerous telescopes and observed thousands of objects from my home observatories as well as from locations in such places as Florida, New Mexico, Indiana, Wisconsin and California,” he said.   DalSanto first worked as an IT support professional for Hewlett Packard, where he worked on onsite and remote system hardware support for 15 years and then moved into IT project management. In this role, he helped lead HP’s early system web support. But it was his love of the sky that eventually led DalSanto to the classroom. He began making presentations to astronomy clubs and groups and was invited to perform public outreach and oversee the observatory at Waubonsee Community College. His growing love for teaching led to the pursuit of a master’s degree in astronomy, and he began teaching credit classes part-time at Waubonsee.   When a full-time astronomy position opened up at College of DuPage in 2012, he left HP to pursue his passion. He teaches two rigorous courses on planetary astronomy and stars and galaxies as well as honors versions of each.   “I set high standards for my students, but I want them to enjoy learning about our amazing universe,” DalSanto said. “I put tremendous planning and effort into my courses and I want them to walk out with not just knowledge but also appreciation for what we know and how we know it through the process of science.   “I’ve been told repeatedly that my passion for astronomy shows. I want to share that passion and so I take great interest in my students’ success. I’m especially proud of the quality of the research projects done by my honors students, with several going on to pursue careers in astronomy.”     DalSanto continues his deep appreciation for the universe and wants others to experience it.   “I have never lost my love for standing under a truly clear, dark sky and experiencing the universe first hand personally,” he said. “I am thrilled with new discoveries but also in how we discover things and how new knowledge either fits into what we know or forces us to adjust what we know.   “We can have an exciting future exploring the solar system and universe, and one of my favorite quotes captures this: ‘The human adventure is just beginning.’”   In this episode, Beth and Joe discuss:         Some of the major firsts in astronomy.         How astronomy changed between Ptolemy and Copernicus.         The invention of the telescope and its rise to popularity.         How women played a role in the early days of astronomy.         Studying the universe at different wave lengths.     Key Takeaways:         William Herschel’s son John was the one to catalog the Southern night sky.         How parallax allows us to find an estimate of the distance of the stars.         All of science, especially in this field, is a global effort, not just small groups in one country or another.         How seemingly small discoveries and basic research can lead to massive growths in science.   “I really think with Herschel, and probably with most early astronomers, it was just their love of astronomy, their curiosity. They wanted to understand our universe, and that continues today.” — Joe DalSanto     Connect with Joe DalSanto: http://www.cod.edu/spotlights/faculty/dalsanto.aspx     About Beth Mund:   Beth’s love for space started as a Space Camp attendee at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where she would return years later as an instructor.  After grad school, Beth worked as a journalist, a technical writer for Motorola, and then went on to serve as a Public Affairs Officer for the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Heidi Le: Resource for Transformation   In this episode, Jeff and Heidi discuss: Her experience as a family member of an individual struggling with addiction and her own journey as a recovering co-dependent individual. There is no one answer, it may be an environment change, new relationships, a learning of new skills, or something else. Finding a safe community where you can be open about your journey. How her music has helped her through her journey and her recovery.   Key Takeaways: Just changing your environment and relationships does not change who you are and the ways that you may be struggling. When you reach a fork in your life, you get to choose - both paths are going to be painful, are you going to have the pain of getting stuck or the pain of getting well? Isolation feeds addiction, anxiety, depression, and all the other dark things. Community can help to counteract that darkness. If what you’re doing now isn’t working, don’t be afraid to try something new. The first group or meeting or counselor may not be the right fit, but just keep trying.  Nobody is too far gone to find recovery and find healing.     "It’s a powerful thing to be able to take a break or move away from a dysfunctional environment, but that’s rarely the only solution. We still have to do our internal work to get well. Without our internal work to really get well from the inside, we tend, as humans, to recreate what feels familiar." — Heidi Le     Connect with Heidi Le:   Twitter: @HeidiLeMusic Facebook: Heidi Le Website: HeidiLeMusic.com ITunes: Heidi Le  Book: Confessions of the Broken Instagram: heidilemusic Youtube: Heidi Le Music Album: Confessions of the Broken Spotify: Heidi Le Blog: Confessions of a Codependent Rock Chick   References: Book: Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie Website: FacingAddiction.org     Got ideas?

Lynda Hacker Araoz: Mother’s Journey   In this episode, Jeff and Lynda discuss: Lynda’s background with teenagers, as a teacher and counselor, and how addiction has affected her life. Windows of opportunity and ways to work with other inside the system to take advantage of those windows. The importance of preparing yourself for the long haul – it may not be a short term process. Timing and communication make all the difference – when to talk makes as much of a difference as what you talk about.   Key Takeaways: Formulas don’t work for everyone. There is no one formula. It’s a moment by moment decision. An admittance of addiction is not always a cry for help and a desire to get better. Addiction is like a game of Chutes and Ladders – there will be ups and downs on the journey to recovery. Having a safe space where you can go and just be and let go of everything for a time. Recovery is not an event, it’s a process. Maintaining a relationship with the person struggling with addiction throughout can provide stability through the process.       "We are all so much more than the circumstances that we face. And yet, the circumstances we face are what often consume us." — Lynda Hacker Araoz     Connect with Lynda Hacker Araoz:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lynda.hacker.5 Website: https://www.weightofafeather.com/ Book: The Weight of a Feather: A Mother’s Journey Through the Opiates Addiction Crisis LinkedIn: Lynda Hacker Araoz Blog: http://www.opiatecrisiscommentary.com/     Got ideas?

And it’s a huge reason." — Tatyana Vroman        Mentions: Hal Elrod, Mike McCarthy, Esther Perel        Connect with Guest:  Twitter:  @jonvroman  Facebook:  Jon Vroman, Tatyana Vroman  Website:  FrontRowDads.com  Book: The Front Row Factor: Transform Your Life with The Art of Moment Making  Show: Front Row Factor, Front Row Dads  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonvroman/     Connect with Sam and Pat:  Twitter: @BiggerLoveBook  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BiggerLoveBook  Website: http://www.biggerlove.com/  Book: Bigger Love- How to have the love of your life for the rest of your life        Show notes by show producer: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie     Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert.
