As Elon Musk leads a project to drastically remake the federal government, one goal might be fueling it all: getting to Mars. It's an objective that President Donald Trump seems to share. In his inaugural address on Jan. 20, Trump promised that the U.S. would “pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars.”But what are the obstacles to get to the Red Planet? Host Martine Powers speaks with space reporter Christian Davenport about the U.S. ambitions to get to Mars — and how the country, along with private space companies, could actually get there.Today's show was produced and mixed by Ted Muldoon. It was edited by Reena Flores with help from Renita Jablonski and Maggie Penman. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

New York's Tribeca FIlm Festival saw the debut of The Solace of Sisterhood this past weekend. It's a new documentary about an all-female motorcycle crew from New Orleans. The film shines a spotlight on the riders, known as the Caramel Curves, as they defy societal expectations, chase adventure and embrace personal freedom. For more on this film and the story behind this organization of riders, we spoke with one of the Caramel Curves co-founders, Shanika “Tru” Beatty and one of the film's directors, Geneva Peschka.In New Orleans, art isn't a hobby. It's a lifestyle. Christian Davenport, better known by his stage name, Cubs the Poet, really embodies this idea. Cubs started out as a street poet, writing poems for passersby on his antique typewriter. Over the years, he's worked with major brands like Hennessy, given TED Talks, and even had a special Port Orleans Brewing Company lager called “A Love Poem To… Black People” that raised money for Black artists in New Orleans. He also served as the first poet laureate of Baton Rouge.Now, he's taking his show on the road, with a tour called “Free Therapy.” And he'll perform a special Juneteenth show at the Fillmore New Orleans on June 19 to kick off the tour.Cubs sat down with the Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins to talk about his approach to poetry____Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

In 2000, Amazon founder Bezos founded a new company: Blue Origin. The company is most well-known nowadays for taking celebrities up into space, including “Star Trek” legend William Shatner, and “Good Morning America” host and former NFL player Michael Strahan. According to the novel “The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos” by Christian Davenport, Bezos was partially inspired to create the aerospace company after seeing the 1999 film, “October Sky.” The film is based on “Rocket Boys,” Hickam's memoir that details his youth in 1950s rural West Virginia where he and a few friends take up rocketry after being inspired by the launch of Sputnik 1.

Few subjects have been more fertile for the writer's mind than space with its infinite mysteries and fascinations. With the commercial business of space forming, writers have started to shape stories of the people and potential which make it, yet again, the subject of fascination. As the dreams of fortunes and adventure again capture the creative mind, what are authors writing about and what do they have to say about our space barons and fictional characters with space as the background? In this podcast, based on the August 2023 edition of the New York Space Business Roundtable, you'll hear from writers of new books from across the spectrum about their books and their opinions!

A decade of advancement by private companies run by billionaires has transformed how humanity is approaching the final frontier.  Some of the biggest news in recent space exploration has revolved around billionaires. Last year, for instance, both Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson actually traveled into space. Those very high-profile – and very brief – journeys were a result of the relatively recent push by private companies to join Earth's more technologically advanced nations in reaching toward the heavens.  Blue Origin, SpaceX and Boeing have all played a major role in recent developments in space technology and even NASA's Artemis mission, which is aimed at putting a woman and person of color on the moon, is outsourcing aspects of the mission to private companies. The story of space exploration is a long, methodical and somewhat slow-moving one – in relation to the news cycle at least. But recent developments from private companies and nations have been coming relatively fast. For this episode of the Crosscut Talks podcast, two authors who have been keeping an eye on the skies over the last decade discuss how these relatively new players are approaching the space race and how the nations who have been in the race for decades are responding. --- Credits Host: Mark Baumgarten Producers: Sara Bernard, Brooklyn Jamerson-Flowers Event producers: Jake Newman, Andrea O'Meara Engineers: Resti Bagcal, Viktoria Ralph --- If you would like to support Crosscut, go to crosscut.com/membership.

Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of billionaire entrepreneurs, jocularly referred to as the “Space Barons,” are pouring their fortunes into the resurrection of the American space program. Washington Post staff writer Christian Davenport brought to our stage the remarkable accounts of risk and high adventure by these four billionaires—Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Paul Allen—sharing excerpts collected in his book The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos. Drawing on years of investigation and exclusive interviews with all four of the “Barons,” Davenport brought us a report on the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by some of the world’s richest men as they struggle to end the governmental monopoly on the cosmos. Davenport was joined for an onstage conversation with award-winning science writer and editor Alan Boyle. Davenport and Boyle discussed the Silicon Valley-style innovation at work to dramatically lower the cost of space travel, and the potential for these programs to send humans even further than NASA has ever achieved. Together they outlined the hardships facing this new space movement: startups warring with established contractors and the entrepreneurs’ personal clashes which threaten to scuttle their private projects before they come to fruition. Join Davenport and Boyle for a comprehensive look at the spacefaring projects funded by the founders of some of the biggest brands in the world, and the potential for these industry-upending titans to aim for the moon, Mars, and beyond. Christian Davenport is a staff writer at the Washington Post covering the space and defense industries for the financial desk. He is a recipient of the Peabody award for his work on veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury and has been on reporting teams that were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize three times. Before joining the financial staff, Davenport was an editor on the Metro desk, overseeing coverage of local government and politics. As a frequent radio and television commentator, he has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, PBS NewsHour, and several NPR shows, including All Things Considered and Diane Rehm. Alan Boyle is an aerospace and science editor at Geekwire.com, creator of Cosmiclog.com, and award-winning science writer and space reporter. Formerly the science editor of NBCNews.com, MSNBC, and MSNBC.com, he is the author of The Case for Pluto: How a Little Planet Made a Big Difference. Recorded live at Museum of Flight on Wednesday, April 25, 2018.

Once a theater of Cold War rivalry, space has today become the venue for a new competition between nations, corporations, and trailblazing billionaires. As the US government's budget for space exploration has decreased, so has ended its monopoly on access to space, paving the way for commercial operators to launch satellites and supply research missions. In the years ahead these private endeavors are likely to push the envelope further, sending tourists into orbit, mining asteroids, and, perhaps one day, colonizing the cosmos. Will the costs and risks of commercial space initiatives produce astronomical rewards? Or will technical challenges and legal obstacles bring these private space pioneers back down to earth? Copies of Christian Davenport's new book Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos will be available for sale and signing after the program from the Book Cellar.

This Earth Day we investigate the success and future of Built Green homes. Leah Missik is the Program Manager of Built Green, a non-profit arm of The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish County. We also hear from Anthony Maschmedt, the Owner/Principal of Dwell Development, a Seattle builder who recently built a Net Zero energy home in Ballard. Built Green ratings range from 3-Star, 4-Star, 5-Star to Emerald Star; and there are many factors in determining the efficiency of a new home. Along with energy usage there are use of construction materials, water use, and indoor air quality. The Built Green program is advocating to make these types of homes easier and less costly through policy as well as advances in technology. Two years ago Dwell Development built Seattle's first Emerald Star home and with two years of data now available, the results show that it is more efficient than thought. Over the course of each year, the owners of this home actually sell energy back to the grid. Learn more online at www.builtgreen.net or www.mba-ks.com/ and watch an impressive video about the Emerald Star home here www.dwelldevelopment.com/video/ Christian Davenport is a staff writer at the Washington Post where he covers the space and defense industries for the financial desk.

Times: U.S. spies paid Russians for cyberweapons/Trump secret Remember the dossier on Donald Trump that former British spy Christopher Steele built that made headlines about a year ago? The one that alleged encounters with prostitutes, bribes, and evidence of collaboration with Russians to hack Democrats? Well the problem with the dossier until now was that none of the allegations have been corroborated. But, over the weekend, the New York Times reported that U.S. spies paid a “shadowy Russian” some $100,000 in exchange for stolen National Security Agency cyberweapons. The Russian also promised secret information about President Trump. The total payout was to be $1 million. This was just the first installment. And the spies, according to the Times, delivered the cash in a suitcase to a Berlin hotel. The White House and CIA have obviously been trying to contain the report. Matthew Rosenberg reports in the New York Times. Russian hackers continue to exploit U.S. cyber vulnerabilities The Associated Press reports that Russian spies have continued to exploit vulnerabilities in U.S. defenses. According to the report, the spies fooled contractors with phishing scams disseminated via email, which allowed them to gain access to data acquired by spy drones. Waymo and Uber reach a settlement Uber and Waymo reached a settlement last week. Uber agreed to give Waymo, the self driving car company built by Google, a $245 million stake in Uber's equity, or about .34 percent. No cash was part of the settlement. Uber continues to deny that they either stole or used any of Waymo's trade secrets or self-driving car technology. Alex Castro reports for the Verge. U.S. arrests 36 in cyberfraud crackdown The Justice Department reported last week that it had arrested and charged 36 people for running a cyberfraud ring that stole some $350 million. Officials allege that Svyatoslav Bondarenko created Infraud in 2010 to make online purchases with counterfeit or stolen credit card information. Tom Schoenberg reports on the details of the scheme in Bloomberg. Internet giants back net neutrality bill The Internet Association--the trade association that represents internet giants like Google, Facebook and others--wrote a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell last week in support of a bipartisan legislative solution that would overturn the FCC's repeal of the net neutrality rules. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. British officials grill Google, Facebook and Twitter in Washington Eleven members of the British Parliament came to Washington last week to grill tech executives from Google, Facebook and Twitter about fake news. Hamza Shaban of the Chicago Tribune reported that the meeting was far from cordial, with the lawmakers sharply criticizing the companies' moral compass and failure to curtail the spread of misinformation online. YouTube maintained that it hadn't found any evidence of Russian interference in the Brexit vote. In a separate story last week, CNN brought to Twitter's attention the fact that hundreds of Russian propaganda videos remained on Vine—the video sharing platform that Twitter owns--until well after Twitter should have been aware that the Kremlin posted the videos Also, YouTube had to change some of its policies after YouTuber Logan Paul engaged in an ongoing pattern of posting really repulsive videos such as the video of a suicide victim in Japan. Google decided to suspend advertising on Paul's channel and announced a broader policy change under which it would make YouTube channels that post offensive content less discoverable. Ingrid Ludent reports for Tech Crunch Winter Olympics were cyberattacked An organizer of the winter Olympics in Pyeongchang reported that there was a cyberattack during the opening ceremony. However, the organizer won't disclose who carried out the attack. Peter Rutherford reports in Reuters New study finds gender pay gap among Uber drivers A new University of Chicago study found a gender pay gap among Uber drivers. The study found that women driving for Uber earned some 7% less per hour than their male counterparts. Mark Warner tees up ‘tech addiction' At a speech last week, Senator Mark Warner teed up tech addiction as a concern for policymakers. The remarks came amidst several studies conducted recently that purport to illustrate Americans' addition to tech. David McCabe has more in Axios M.I.T. study shows facial recognition AI skin color bias A new study from the M.I.T. Media Lab shows a commercial facial recognition technology is correct 99% of the time when it comes to identifying white man. But when it came to identifying black folks, the software was wrong 35% of the time. Steve Lohr reports in The New York Times Spouses of highly skilled immigrants face job losses under Trump The spouses of high skilled workers who enter the country under an H1B visa are permitted to work under an H-4 visa. But Trump's Department of Homeland Security is seeking to end the program, potentially affecting that additional source of income. Cleaver wants white supremacists out of cryptocurrencies Several reports say that white supremacists have been raising funding with Bitcoin to circumvent the established tech sector. So Missouri Democrat Emanuel Cleaver wrote a letter to the Bitcoin Foundation and Digital Chamber of Commerce, asking for measures to curtail white supremacists' cryptocurrency fundraising activities. Ali Breland reports in the Hill. Senators pressure CFPB on Equifax Thirty Senators want to know why Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Acting Director Mick Mulvaney, a Trump appointee has delayed the investigation into the Equifax breach that compromised the data of some 143 million Americans. Thirty Senators, led by Hawaii Democrat Brian Schatz, want to know why CFPB hasn't taken preliminary steps in the investigation. So far the CFPB has declined comment. Trump administration wants to privatize International Space station Christian Davenport reports for the Washington Post that the White House is planning to stop funding for the International Space Station after 2024. It is working on a plan to turn the space station into a commercial enterprise.

Senior Writer, Publishers Weekly   Interview starts at 19:24 and ends at 33:23 I absolutely think it's madness to continue to push for regulatory input into the eBook market. Look what it did for you last time. Let's just let the lawyers go away now. We've all articulated what we think the problem is in the market. Publishers came together to put the agency model in place, and they perfectly articulated the reason why they believe the agency model should be in place.
