Podcast appearances and mentions of Christina Koch

Episode: S05E42 — Wednesday, February 18, 2026 Hosts: Anna & Avery Network: Bitesz.com Podcast Network   In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery cover six unmissable stories from across the cosmos. Here's what we're talking about in S05E42:   1. Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal Round Two NASA begins fuelling the SLS moon rocket tomorrow (Feb 19) for a second critical practice countdown. Engineers have replaced two seals and a filter after hydrogen leaks forced the February launch window to be abandoned. A clean test is required before NASA will commit to a launch date — currently no earlier than March 6. The four-person crew includes Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, each of whom will make history on the flight. 2. Moon Occults Mercury Tonight — Plus a Ganymede Transit Tonight, February 18, a thin crescent Moon passes so close to Mercury that observers in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia will see the Moon hide Mercury in a rare occultation. For everyone else, a stunning close conjunction is visible in the western sky just after sunset. Simultaneously, Jupiter's moon Ganymede transits the gas giant's face through the night. Two events, one evening. 3. Ariane 6 Launches Amazon Kuiper Satellites Europe's most powerful Ariane 6 configuration successfully launched 32 satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband constellation today — a direct competitor to SpaceX's Starlink. The launch highlights both the commercial ambitions of Amazon's internet satellite programme and the ongoing resurgence of European launch capability. 4. 3I/ATLAS Update: JUICE Data Downlinking Now ESA's JUICE spacecraft is currently transmitting data it collected on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS back to Earth — the downlink window runs February 18–20. If successful, this would be the closest-ever spacecraft observations of an interstellar object. Meanwhile, 3I/ATLAS heads toward a close Jupiter flyby in March that may trigger fresh outbursts. 5. How Titan Formed — And Why Saturn Has Rings New research from the SETI Institute proposes a single ancient catastrophe that explains multiple Saturn mysteries at once: a moon called proto-Hyperion collided with proto-Titan about 400 million years ago. The merger debris re-accreted into Saturn's inner moons and left behind the iconic ring system. The hypothesis also explains Saturn's unusual axial tilt, Iapetus's orbital inclination, and the surprising youth of Titan's surface. 6. Russia's 30-Day Mars Engine Rosatom's Troitsk Institute is ground-testing a nuclear-powered magnetoplasma engine that its developers claim could reach Mars in 30 days — compared to 8 months for chemical rockets. With a plasma exhaust velocity of 100 km/s, the system is part of a global race toward deep-space plasma propulsion also being pursued by NASA's VASIMR programme and Chinese researchers. A flight prototype is targeted for 2030.     Follow & Connect

The countdown is on to 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II, following Nasa's mission to loop around the Moon. We'll have an Artemis II episode every day. Nasa is hoping to return to the Moon for the first time in more than half a century. The story of Artemis II will be told by space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock, British astronaut Tim Peake, and US space journalist Kristin Fisher. Strap yourself in for another epic journey from the BBC's space podcast, 13 Minutes. The Artemis II mission aims to send four astronauts – on a spacecraft called Orion - to loop around the Moon. They plan to go further from Earth than any human in history. Orion's crew is scheduled to be Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II will begin around two days before the launch.Theme music by Hans Zimmer and Christian Lundberg and produced by Russell Emanuel, for Bleeding Fingers Music.

Cuatro astronautas ya están en la Estación Espacial Internacional tras la primera evacuación médica en 65 años. La misión Crew-12 marca un momento delicado y simbólico para la exploración humana.Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoTripulación Crew-12 llega a la Estación Espacial tras evacuación médica histórica de la NASALa Estación Espacial Internacional vuelve a estar completa. Este sábado 14 de febrero, cuatro nuevos astronautas llegaron al laboratorio orbital que gira a unos 400 kilómetros sobre la Tierra. Viajaron a bordo de una cápsula Dragon impulsada por un cohete Falcon 9 de SpaceX. Su llegada ocurre después de un hecho poco común: en enero, la NASA tuvo que evacuar a un astronauta por un problema de salud. Fue la primera vez en 65 años de vuelos espaciales humanos que una misión se acortó por razones médicas. Durante un mes, la estación funcionó con solo tres tripulantes. ¿Qué pasó allá arriba y qué va a cambiar ahora con esta nueva misión?Pero hay un detalle que inquieta.La misión se llama Crew-12. Está formada por Jessica Meir y Jack Hathaway, de la NASA; Sophie Adenot, de la Agencia Espacial Europea; y Andrei Fedyaev, de la agencia rusa Roscosmos. Despegaron el viernes 13 de febrero desde Cabo Cañaveral, en Florida, y tardaron unas 34 horas en alcanzar la Estación Espacial Internacional.Cuando la cápsula se acopló, a las 20:15 GMT del sábado, Sophie Adenot saludó con un “Bonjour” desde el espacio. Dos horas después, se abrieron las escotillas. Ya eran siete personas flotando dentro de una estructura del tamaño de un campo de fútbol que orbita la Tierra a unos 28.000 kilómetros por hora.Durante el último mes, la estación operó con solo tres astronautas: un estadounidense y dos rusos. La NASA decidió pausar caminatas espaciales y reducir algunos experimentos mientras esperaba refuerzos. Ahora, con siete tripulantes, la actividad científica se va a normalizar.Todo comenzó el 7 de enero. Uno de los astronautas de la misión anterior presentó un problema de salud que la NASA describió como serio. Por privacidad médica, la agencia no reveló su identidad ni la naturaleza del incidente. La decisión fue traer de regreso a los cuatro integrantes de esa misión más de un mes antes de lo previsto.La cápsula amerizó en el Pacífico, cerca de San Diego. Pasaron su primera noche en un hospital antes de volver a Houston. Mientras tanto, la estación quedó con una tripulación reducida. Aunque no hubo emergencias técnicas, sí se limitaron actividades. En un entorno donde cada tarea está programada al minuto, perder cuatro personas altera toda la logística.Y aquí surge la pregunta: si las misiones van a ser más largas, incluso hacia la Luna o Marte, ¿qué va a pasar cuando haya un problema médico y no exista la opción de regresar en pocas horas?La NASA decidió no modificar los chequeos médicos previos al lanzamiento de Crew-12. Tampoco añadió equipos médicos extra. Confía en los protocolos actuales. Pero al mismo tiempo, reconoce que la medicina espacial necesita evolucionar.La nueva tripulación no solo va a retomar experimentos pendientes. También va a probar tecnologías médicas pensadas para viajes más lejanos. Por ejemplo, un sistema de ultrasonido que usa inteligencia artificial y realidad aumentada para guiar al propio astronauta durante el examen, sin depender tanto de expertos en la Tierra.Van a ensayar un filtro que convierte agua potable en líquido apto para uso intravenoso en emergencias. También estudiarán cómo la microgravedad afecta el flujo sanguíneo y la formación de coágulos en las venas del cuello.Jessica Meir, quien ya pasó 205 días en órbita en 2019 y participó en la primera caminata espacial femenina junto a Christina Koch, ahora regresa como comandante. Y hay un detalle interesante: Christina Koch está asignada a la misión Artemis II, que podría despegar hacia la Luna a partir del 3 de marzo si las pruebas del cohete Space Launch System avanzan sin más fugas de hidrógeno.Mientras la estación recibe nuevos tripulantes, en Florida se siguen reemplazando sellos y haciendo pruebas de combustible para el programa lunar. Todo está conectado: lo que ocurre hoy en órbita baja va a influir en cómo la humanidad regrese a la Luna y, más adelante, intente llegar a Marte.La Estación Espacial Internacional lleva más de 25 años habitada de forma continua. Es uno de los proyectos de ingeniería más costosos jamás construidos, con una inversión estimada entre 150.000 y 160.000 millones de dólares a lo largo de su vida útil.Está previsto que en 2030 la estación sea desorbitada de forma controlada y caiga en una zona remota del océano Pacífico. Crew-12 será una de las últimas tripulaciones que vivan allí durante varios meses.Sophie Adenot se convierte en la segunda mujer francesa en viajar al espacio, después de Claudie Haigneré en la década de 1990. Para la Agencia Espacial Europea, esta misión llamada εpsilon será la más larga realizada por uno de sus astronautas hasta ahora, con hasta nueve meses en órbita.La cooperación internacional sigue siendo uno de los pilares de la estación. A pesar de tensiones políticas en la Tierra, Estados Unidos, Europa y Rusia continúan trabajando juntos en órbita. Desde las ventanas de la estación no se ven fronteras. Esa frase la repiten muchos astronautas, y vuelve a cobrar sentido en un momento en el que el proyecto se acerca a su final.La Estación Espacial Internacional vuelve a tener siete tripulantes después de una evacuación médica histórica. Crew-12 va a retomar la ciencia y probar nuevas herramientas médicas para misiones más lejanas. La exploración espacial entra en una etapa de transición. ¿Estamos preparados para cuidar la salud humana lejos de casa? Te leo en comentarios y sigue el pódcast en Flash Diario.

La spationaute française Sophie Adenot s'apprête à s'envoler demain pour la Station spatiale internationale, devenant la deuxième Française à atteindre l'orbite terrestre. À cette occasion, Marc Bourreau revient sur la présence des femmes dans l'espace.Remontez le temps jusqu'aux débuts de la conquête spatiale, lorsque la pionnière soviétique Valentina Terechkova est devenue la première femme à voyager dans l'espace en 1963. Plongez dans les coulisses de cette époque, où le régime de Khrouchtchev utilisait les exploits spatiaux comme des symboles de la supériorité communiste.Traversez ensuite l'Atlantique pour découvrir le programme Mercury 13, un projet méconnu visant à former des femmes pilotes pour les vols habités de la NASA. Mais ce programme révolutionnaire a été brutalement interrompu par le président Lyndon Johnson, qui a refusé catégoriquement l'intégration des femmes dans les missions spatiales américaines, du moins jusqu'en 1983.Suivez le parcours de pionnières comme Sally Ride, première Américaine dans l'espace, et Claudie Haigneré, première Française sélectionnée pour les étoiles. Leurs histoires illustrent les défis et les progrès lents, mais constants, de la féminisation de la conquête spatiale.Enfin, apprenez comment la jeune Sophie Adenot, inspirée par les exploits de Claudie Haigneré, s'apprête à rejoindre la Station spatiale internationale, ouvrant la voie à d'autres femmes astronautes comme Christina Koch.

Fugas de hidrógeno retrasan Artemis IILa misión Artemis II de la NASA se retrasa hasta marzo tras detectar fugas de hidrógeno en una prueba decisiva del cohete lunar.Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoLa misión Artemis II busca llevar astronautas alrededor de la Luna por primera vez en más de cincuenta años. Para lograrlo, la NASA necesita que cada parte del sistema funcione con total precisión antes del despegue. Por eso realiza pruebas largas y complejas, diseñadas para encontrar errores cuando todavía no hay personas a bordo.En una de esas pruebas, realizada a inicios de febrero, volvió a aparecer un problema que ya había causado dolores de cabeza en el pasado: fugas de hidrógeno líquido durante el llenado del cohete. El fallo obligó a detener la cuenta regresiva simulada y a aplazar el lanzamiento, al menos, un mes.Esto genera una pregunta lógica para cualquier oyente: si este problema ya ocurrió hace tres años, ¿por qué vuelve a repetirse ahora? Y más importante aún: ¿qué tan seguro es enviar personas a la Luna con este tipo de contratiempos?El problema no es nuevo, pero el contexto sí cambió.La prueba que falló se llama wet dress rehearsal, algo así como un ensayo general completo. En esta prueba, el cohete se llena con combustible real y se simula toda la cuenta regresiva, desde horas antes del lanzamiento hasta los últimos minutos previos al encendido.El protagonista de esta historia es el Space Launch System, o SLS, el cohete más potente que ha construido la NASA. Funciona con dos combustibles principales: oxígeno líquido e hidrógeno líquido. Este último se mantiene a unos doscientos cincuenta y tres grados bajo cero, una temperatura tan extrema que vuelve frágiles muchos materiales.Durante el ensayo, los tanques del SLS lograron llenarse casi por completo. Ese paso ya es una victoria técnica. Pero cuando el reloj simulado entró en los últimos minutos, los sensores detectaron una acumulación peligrosa de hidrógeno en una conexión entre el cohete y la plataforma de lanzamiento. Por seguridad, el sistema detuvo todo.Para entender el problema hay que hablar del hidrógeno. Es el elemento más pequeño que existe. Sus moléculas son tan diminutas que pueden escaparse por rendijas microscópicas, incluso en sistemas diseñados con enorme cuidado. Además, es muy inflamable. Por eso, cualquier fuga activa protocolos automáticos de seguridad.Este mismo tipo de fuga ocurrió durante Artemis I, la misión sin tripulación lanzada en 2022. En aquel momento, el cohete tuvo que regresar varias veces al edificio de ensamblaje para reparaciones, lo que retrasó el vuelo durante meses.Ahora, con Artemis II, la situación es parecida, pero no idéntica. Cada cohete SLS es prácticamente único. No se fabrican en serie. Además, este cohete fue trasladado desde el edificio de ensamblaje hasta la plataforma recorriendo unos seis kilómetros a menos de dos kilómetros por hora. Durante ese trayecto, las vibraciones pueden afectar sellos y alineaciones. Este es el primer contacto real de este vehículo con combustibles criogénicos, y eso revela comportamientos que no siempre aparecen en pruebas de laboratorio.A diferencia de lo ocurrido en Artemis I, los ingenieros creen que esta vez las reparaciones se pueden hacer directamente en la plataforma de lanzamiento. Eso evita un retroceso mayor en el calendario. El plan ahora es desmontar el sello afectado, analizarlo pieza por pieza y repetir el ensayo completo.Mientras tanto, la tripulación —Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch y el astronauta canadiense Jeremy Hansen— ha salido de la cuarentena médica y continúa entrenando. Ellos volarán dentro de la nave Orion, diseñada para proteger a personas en el espacio profundo durante un viaje de diez días alrededor de la Luna.Esta misión no va a aterrizar. Su función es comprobar que los sistemas de vida, navegación y comunicación funcionan lejos de la Tierra. Todo esto es un paso necesario antes de intentar regresar a la superficie lunar con Artemis III.Estos retrasos también ayudan a entender cómo funciona hoy la exploración espacial. En los años del programa Apolo, los lanzamientos eran frecuentes. Hoy, cada vuelo del SLS ocurre con años de diferencia. Eso significa que cada prueba es casi un reencuentro con sistemas complejos que llevan tiempo sin operar juntos.Las pruebas están diseñadas para fallar en tierra y no en el espacio. Detectar una fuga ahora permite corregirla antes de subir personas al cohete. Desde la perspectiva de la NASA, aplazar un lanzamiento es una decisión responsable.Artemis no es una carrera de velocidad. Es un programa pensado para décadas, con socios internacionales y la idea de una presencia humana sostenida alrededor y sobre la Luna. Cada ensayo, incluso los que terminan en retrasos, aporta información real que no se puede obtener de otra forma.Artemis II se retrasa por fugas de hidrógeno detectadas en una prueba clave. El problema es conocido, complejo y manejable. La misión sigue adelante con más datos y más cautela.Te invitamos a reflexionar sobre estos pasos previos y a seguir Flash Diario en Spotify para entender cómo avanza el regreso humano a la Luna.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.Apoya el Flash Diario y escúchalo sin publicidad en el Club de Supporters. 

Alors que les États-Unis s'apprêtent à renouer concrètement avec l'orbite lunaire, la NASA affine patiemment les contours de son programme Artemis. L'objectif ne se limite plus à planter un drapeau sur la Lune : il s'agit désormais d'y rester. Et rester implique une question centrale, presque triviale sur Terre mais cruciale à 380 000 kilomètres d'ici : comment produire de l'énergie de manière fiable et durable ? Parmi les options étudiées, le nucléaire s'impose de plus en plus comme une solution crédible.L'idée ne date pas d'hier. Depuis plusieurs années, l'agence spatiale américaine travaille sur des systèmes de fission nucléaire capables d'alimenter une ou plusieurs installations lunaires. Mais le calendrier s'est brutalement accéléré en décembre dernier, lorsque Donald Trump a signé un décret relançant officiellement l'ambition lunaire américaine : un retour d'astronautes sur le sol sélène dès 2028, puis l'installation d'un réacteur nucléaire à l'horizon 2030. Un cap politique clair, désormais assorti d'engagements concrets.Le 13 janvier, la NASA a ainsi signé un protocole d'accord avec le Department of Energy. Objectif : coordonner les efforts et tenir ce délai particulièrement ambitieux. Pour Jared Isaacman, administrateur de l'agence, le choix est presque évident : « Pour bâtir des infrastructures durables sur la Lune et préparer le chemin vers Mars, l'énergie nucléaire n'est pas une option parmi d'autres, c'est une nécessité. » Contrairement au solaire, dépendant de cycles jour-nuit extrêmes et de longues éclipses, un réacteur à fission peut fournir une électricité stable, continue, pendant des années, sans ravitaillement.Cette course énergétique lunaire ne se joue pas en solitaire. La Chine affiche des ambitions comparables et prévoit elle aussi une base lunaire alimentée par un réacteur nucléaire. Pékin a déjà annoncé plusieurs missions préparatoires, dont une étape clé programmée dès cette année, signe que la compétition technologique et stratégique s'intensifie. Côté américain, l'échéance se rapproche. Dans les prochaines semaines, les astronautes Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman et Christina Koch embarqueront à bord du vaisseau Orion pour une mission de dix jours autour de la Lune. Un vol sans alunissage, mais hautement symbolique : il servira de répétition générale avant le retour officiel de l'humanité sur la surface lunaire. Hébergé par Acast.

The provided text consists of excerpts from an article in The Atlantic titled "The Perfect Astronaut Is Changing," published on June 17, 2025, and authored by Erin Berger. The article examines how the qualifications and ideal characteristics for astronauts must evolve to meet the unique challenges of a future mission to Mars, which will involve years of isolation and unforeseen environmental obstacles. Historically, NASA has favored engineers and pilots, but the text suggests that terrestrial explorers and outdoor professionals—who are accustomed to navigating challenging environments and long-term isolation—might be better suited for deep-space travel. The piece discusses how NASA is considering these skill sets, referencing examples like diver Joe Dituri and astronaut Christina Koch, while also addressing the agency's traditional apprehension toward applicants who exhibit a high tolerance for risk. Ultimately, the selection criteria for Martian crews may prioritize skills like autonomy, multi-expertise, and "salutogenesis" (finding intrinsic value in the journey) over current standards.#AstronautEvolution #MarsMission #NASACriteria #DeepSpaceTravel #TerrestrialExplorers #OutdoorProfessionals #IsolationChallenges #MartianCrew #AutonomySkills #MultiExpertise #Salutogenesis #ChristinaKoch #JoeDituri #SpaceExploration #FutureAstronautshttp://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.patreon.com/atlantisseacolonyhttps://discord.gg/jp5aSSkfNS

Cuatro astronautas viajarán en la misión Artemis 2 de la NASA en 2026, primera tripulación en orbitar la Luna en 50 años  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Artemis 2 será la primera misión tripulada a la Luna desde 1972. La NASA quiere enviarla entre febrero y abril de 2026. Viajarán tres astronautas de Estados Unidos y uno de Canadá. Será un vuelo de 10 días en la nave Orion para orbitar la Luna sin descender. Esta misión probará sistemas de seguridad y recogerá datos que permitirán aterrizar en la superficie con Artemis 3. La NASA busca adelantarse a China en esta nueva carrera espacial. ¿Qué significa regresar después de medio siglo y por qué ahora sí quieren quedarse?  Han pasado más de cinco décadas desde que Neil Armstrong dio el primer paso en la Luna. Desde entonces, ningún ser humano ha vuelto a viajar tan lejos. Ahora, la NASA se prepara para Artemis 2, un vuelo tripulado que orbitará nuestro satélite entre febrero y abril de 2026. Será un viaje de 10 días con cuatro astronautas: tres estadounidenses y un canadiense. La misión no aterrizará, pero pondrá a prueba la nave Orion y el cohete SLS, esenciales para futuros viajes. Esta misión también es parte de una competencia global: China tiene previsto alunizar con su propio programa antes de 2030. ¿Estamos entrando en una nueva carrera lunar? Artemis es el nombre que la NASA eligió para su programa lunar. Se llama así por la diosa griega de la Luna, hermana gemela de Apolo. El nombre conecta directamente con el recuerdo de los viajes Apolo de los años sesenta y setenta. Artemis 1, en 2022, fue la primera prueba: un vuelo no tripulado que verificó el funcionamiento del cohete SLS y la cápsula Orion. Aunque hubo fallas en el escudo térmico, los ingenieros corrigieron los problemas. Ahora Artemis 2 será la primera misión con humanos. Durante 10 días, la tripulación practicará maniobras de comunicación, verificará sistemas de soporte vital y observará la Luna desde órbita. No habrá alunizaje, pero este paso es indispensable para que Artemis 3, planeada para 2027, ponga de nuevo pies humanos sobre la superficie lunar.  El regreso humano a la Luna no ocurre en un vacío científico. Tiene un fuerte componente geopolítico. En los años sesenta la competencia fue con la Unión Soviética. Hoy la rivalidad es con China, que avanza con rapidez. Pekín ha diseñado un plan claro: usar su nave Mengzhou para orbitar la Luna, un módulo llamado Lanyue para descender y un cohete CZ-10 para lanzar estas piezas al espacio. Planea probar ese cohete en 2027 y enviar su primera misión tripulada con alunizaje antes de 2030. Además, han desarrollado el traje Wanu y un explorador lunar llamado Tano para dar movilidad a sus astronautas. Todo esto muestra que China quiere establecer presencia en el satélite, no como visita breve, sino como primer paso hacia bases permanentes. Estados Unidos no quiere perder la delantera, pero la presión por llegar primero genera tensiones dentro de la NASA: algunos funcionarios han advertido que acelerar puede poner en riesgo la seguridad de los astronautas. ¿Vale más la política que la vida humana?  La NASA insiste en que Artemis 2 será segura. Tras las fallas de Artemis 1, los ingenieros cambiaron la trayectoria de reentrada para reducir el estrés en el escudo térmico. Los cuatro astronautas —Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch y Jeremy Hansen— han entrenado años para enfrentar cualquier emergencia, desde un corte de comunicaciones hasta fallas en motores o problemas de salud en pleno vuelo. El plan es que Artemis 2 demuestre que la cápsula Orion y el cohete SLS están listos para misiones más largas. Mientras tanto, el calendario aprieta: China se prepara para su propio alunizaje con el CZ-10 antes de 2030. Si Artemis 2 sale bien, Estados Unidos podría mantener la ventaja con Artemis 3 en 2027, donde sí habrá descenso. Pero lo más importante es que ambas potencias están pensando en lo mismo: establecer bases permanentes en la Luna que servirán como plataformas de lanzamiento hacia Marte. Esa visión cambia por completo el sentido de la exploración espacial.  El valor de Artemis 2 no se mide solo en lo que haga en órbita lunar. La nave llevará experimentos médicos para estudiar cómo el espacio profundo afecta a los astronautas: se tomarán muestras de sangre y saliva para medir hormonas, densidad ósea y masa muscular. Además, los astronautas vivirán diez días en un espacio muy reducido, equivalente al de una furgoneta grande, lo que servirá para evaluar efectos psicológicos del aislamiento. Orion también llevará chips biológicos llamados AVATARs, con tejidos humanos en miniatura para analizar los efectos de la radiación cósmica. Mientras tanto, China planea que su módulo Lanyue permita estancias cortas en la superficie, con la ayuda del explorador Tano. Allí buscarán agua, analizarán el suelo y probarán nuevas tecnologías. Estados Unidos apuesta por ir paso a paso, primero orbitando y luego alunizando. China, en cambio, busca llegar directo al objetivo: un alunizaje en menos de cinco años. Esta diferencia de estrategias muestra que el siglo XXI tendrá una Luna compartida, donde la cooperación o la competencia decidirán el futuro.  Artemis 2 será el primer viaje tripulado a la Luna en más de 50 años. Aunque no habrá alunizaje, será la base para futuros asentamientos lunares. China también prepara su llegada con la nave Mengzhou, el módulo Lanyue y el cohete CZ-10 antes de 2030. El futuro de la Luna ya no es ciencia ficción: será escenario de cooperación o competencia. Te invito a seguir y comentar este pódcast en Flash Diario.  En 2026 Artemis 2 orbitará la Luna. China prepara su propio alunizaje antes de 2030 con nuevas naves, trajes y exploradores.  

Reid Wiseman, die bevelvoerder van Artemis II, Nasa se volgende sending na die maan, sê dat hy en sy bemanning dinge sal sien wat geen mens nog ooit gesien het nie. Wiseman het op 'n nuuskonferensie in die Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, gesê dat sy ruimtetuig waarskynlik oor groot dele van die maan sal vlieg wat vorige Apollo-sendings nog nooit gekarteer het nie. Nasa sê dit hoop dat dit in Februarie 2026 die eerste bemande sending na die maan in 50 jaar sal kan loods. Die ander bemanningslede is die vlieënier Victor J. Glover en sendingspesialiste Christina Koch en Jeremy Hansen.

Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya.

On March 14, 2019, NASA rockets ignited, catapulting astronaut Christina Koch toward the International Space Station. Koch wouldn’t return to earth for 328 days, giving her the record for the longest continuous space flight by a woman. Every day, living roughly 254 miles above the earth, a screen kept track of Koch’s time in five-minute increments. She had a myriad of daily tasks to complete (from meals to experiments), and—hour after hour—a red line inched along the display, constantly showing whether Koch was ahead or behind schedule. Not a moment to waste. While certainly not recommending anything so intrusive as a red line ruling over our life, the apostle Paul did encourage us to carefully use our precious, limited resource of time. “Be very careful then, how you live,” Paul wrote, “not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15–16). God’s wisdom instructs us to fill our days with intention and care, employing them to practice obedience to Him, to love our neighbor, and to participate in Jesus’ ongoing redemption in the world. Sadly, it’s entirely possible to ignore wisdom’s instruction and instead use our time foolishly (v. 17), frittering away our years in selfish or destructive pursuits. The point isn’t to obsessively fret about time but simply to follow God in obedience and trust. He will help us make the most of our days.

“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants” ? Coco Chanel What are the pressures society puts upon teenage girls? Teen hosts Julia and Keerthi have a lively discussion about their struggles and experiences with peers, parents, and social media encounters, including posts of unrealistic body images and beauty standards. They then converse with guest author, Chelsey Goodan, with her book, Underestimated. It is obvious that Chelsey honors teen girls and really listens and cares about their challenges and concerns. Chelsea is nonjudgmental adult who teenage girls trust to share their innermost secrets and doubts — all the things they wish they could communicate to their parents and the world at large. She uniquely understands what makes teenage girls tick, and through this book, Goodan passes the mic to them. Rather than dismissing teenage girls based on fears or treating them as problems that need to be solved, Goodan encourages us as parents, and as a society, to help teenage girls unleash their power and celebrate their intrinsic wisdom, creating more healing and connection for everyone. With her vivacious personality, Chelsea conveys love and understanding while encouraging listeners to listen and engage with teens. On today's segment of “Space Spotlight”, reporter Saanvi celebrates the pioneering women in space history and the inspiring lessons they've imparted to generations of young dreamers, especially the teenage girls who look up at the night sky and see a canvas of endless possibilities. She starts with Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to orbit our planet. Then showcases Sally Ride's achievements and efforts in STEM education, followed by other young female space groundbreakers including Mae Jemison, Christina Koch, Katherine Johnson, and Peggy Whitson. The courage of these women encourages young women to aspire to leadership roles in their careers. Teen girls are wise and powerful.

Koskaan aikaisemmin ei kiinnostus Kuuta kohtaan ole ollut näin korkealla. Kuuhun on lähetetty viime vuosina peräti kymmenen luotainta ja laskeutujaa, yksi on parhaillaan matkalla ja tekeillä on yli 30 uutta lentoa Kuun luokse tai sen pinnalle. Ihmiset ovat käyneet Kuussa vain kuusi kertaa, eikä kukaan ole käynyt sen lähelläkään sitten joulukuun 1972. Mistä vuosikymmenien hiljaiselo on oikein johtunut? Nyt Yhdysvaltain vetämä kansainväinen Artemis-hanke on kuitenkin viemässä ihmisiäkin takaisin Kuun pinnalle. Ensimmäinen miehitetty lento on lähdössä joulukuussa 2024. Pienessä aluksessa Kuuta kiertämään lähtevät yhdysvaltalaiset Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover ja Christina Koch sekä kanadalainen Jeremy Hansen.He kertovat tässä Tiedeykkösessä tulevasta lennostaan ja valmistautumisesta siihen. Mukana ohjelmassa on myös saksalaisastronautti Alexander Gerst, joka saattaa hyvinkin olla ensimmäinen eurooppalainen kuulentäjä. Nasan kuualuksesta vastaava johtaja Howard Hu puolestaan kertoo miten viime vuonna tehty koelento sujui ja miten Orion-nimistä kapselia varustetaan tulevia ihmislentoja varten. Ohjelman toimittaa Jari Mäkinen.

VJ day was on Tuesday, marking the anniversary of Japan's surrender, and the end of World War Two. Olga Henderson was 13 in 1945, starving in a camp in Singapore alongside other young internees. Now 91, Olga talks about her time in the camps recalled in her new – and first - book, In the Shadow of the Rising Sun. A survey of 10,000 university students found that only 14% of pupils who had been in the care system progressed to higher education by age 19, compared to 47% of all other pupils. Kim Emenike, who was in care as a child, and Katharine Sacks-Jones, Chief Executive of the charity Become, which supports young care leavers, discuss the challenges they face. Many baby boomers are experiencing the death of their parents much later than previous generations. The journalist Helen Bullough and clinical psychologist Dr Linda Blair discuss the impact of being parentless in older age. Imagine being the first woman to travel to the Moon. The Nasa astronaut Christina Koch has been chosen as one of the four crew members who will orbit the Moon in the spacecraft Orion, as part of Nasa's Artemis II mission in November next year.

She reflects on her career and tells us all about her new role. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Sunday sees the Women's World Cup final between England and Spain and to mark it we are joined by England's top female goal scorer, Ellen White. By the time of Ellen's retirement after last year's Euros, she'd scored 52 goals in 113 international appearances. She joins Anita from Sydney to discuss the magic of Sarina Wiegman and her advice for the Lionesses ahead of Sunday's match. Has anyone asked for a pay rise yet? With everything costing more and wages not quite keeping up, maybe it's time we did. Historically women are less likely to ask for a pay rise with a recent survey suggesting half of men have asked for a rise but only 37% of women have. Anita is joined by businesswoman and entrepreneur Sharmadean Reid to discuss. Imagine being the first woman to travel to the Moon. The Nasa astronaut Christina Koch is edging closer to that entry in the history books. She has been chosen as one of the four crew members who will orbit the Moon in the spacecraft Orion, as part of Nasa's Artermis II mission in November next year. All going well, the Artemis programme will continue in 2025 as Nasa and its partners attempt to land the first woman and first person of colour on the surface of the Moon. Anita speaks to Christina all about it. A new study has found that the morning-after pill is made more effective when taken with an anti-inflammatory painkiller. The study found taking the morning-after pill combined with piroxicam - a drug used for arthritis pain - prevented 95% of pregnancies, whereas taking the morning-after pill alone prevented 63%. Anita is joined by the President of The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health at The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Dr Janet Barter, to discuss the significance of these findings. Ligwina Hananto is an Indonesian stand-up comedian journeying to Europe for the first time to appear at the Edinburgh Fringe.

  On Thursday's show: It got a bit heated at Harris County Commissioners Court this week. County Judge Lina Hidalgo dropped an F-bomb while criticizing commissioners about their loyalty to the county's district attorney. News 88.7 reporter Andrew Schneider explains what it was all about and updates us on other recent developments from the county. Also this hour: We meet astronaut Christina Hammock Koch, who will be the first woman to embark on a mission to the moon. Then, the news that the PGA Tour will merge with its rival, the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, we discuss the concept of "sportswashing," a tactic countries sometimes use to deflect attention from their track records on human rights. And the Bryan Museum in Galveston has an exhibit about Black high school football in Texas on display through July 2. It's based on the book, Thursday Night Lights, and we revisit our 2017 conversation with its author, Michael Hurd.

The upcoming Artemis II mission promises a lunar spectacle unlike any we've seen before, and it's all thanks to some groundbreaking laser technology. Launching aboard the Orion spacecraft from NASA's Space Launch System rocket in November 2024, the mission is set to ferry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen on a ten-day round trip that'll venture beyond the moon. The landmark mission will feature the revolutionary Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O), marking the first time a crewed lunar flight will make use of advanced laser communications technology. The O2O system is designed to transmit high-definition images and video of the lunar surface back to Earth at an unprecedented downlink rate of up to 260 megabits per second. This significant leap from the grainy footage captured during the Apollo missions half a century ago could provide us with real-time, high-definition views of the moon.

The Artemis II crew has been chosen!

Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space.

She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.

Peggy Whitson é bioquímica e astronauta. Primeira mulher a comandar uma missão na Estação Espacial Internacional (ISS), também detém o recorde de ser a astronauta da NASA a passar mais dias no espaço – 665 dias! –, e de ter sido a mulher mais velha a fazer uma viagem espacial, aos 56 anos. Nascida em 1960, no Iowa, EUA, Peggy Whitson era filha de fazendeiros e cresceu em uma fazenda. Bacharel em biologia e química, se tornou doutora em bioquímica em 1986. Whitson trabalhava há oito anos para a NASA, como bioquímica e pesquisadora em diversas áreas, antes de se candidatar para o programa de treinamento de astronautas, em 1996. O treinamento durou dois anos, e Whitson fez sua primeira viagem espacial em 2002, a bordo da nave Endeavour. Após 185 dias no espaço, Peggy Whitson voltou à Terra. Em sua segunda viagem espacial, em 2007, Whitson entrou para a história como a primeira mulher a comandar uma missão na ISS. Ao encerramento desta missão, com um total acumulado de 377 dias no espaço, Whitson se tornou a mulher a passar mais tempo fora da Terra. Seu terceiro voo rumo à ISS ocorreu em novembro de 2016, e ela se tornou a primeira mulher a comandar duas missões na estação espacial; aos 56 anos de idade, Peggy fazia história também como a mulher mais velha a ir ao espaço. A viagem se tornaria histórica ainda outra vez, já que Peggy Whitson só voltaria para a Terra em setembro de 2017, após 289 dias, conquistando o recorde feminino para mais tempo no espaço em uma única viagem. (Esse recorde foi quebrado por Christina Koch (#mulherdefibra) em 2020, após seus 328 dias fora da Terra.) Tendo passado 665 dias no espaço, Whitson é considerada a astronauta mais experiente da NASA, independente de gênero. Com mais de 60 horas de caminhadas espaciais e um currículo impressionante, Peggy Whitson se aposentou da NASA em 2018, mas continua ativa, trabalhando em uma empresa privada de voos espaciais, a Axiom Space. 

An Open Letter Asks AI Researchers To Reconsider Responsibilities In recent months, it's been hard to escape hearing about artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT, the AI-enabled version of Bing, and Google's Bard—large language models skilled at manipulating words and constructing text. The programs can conduct a believable conversation and answer questions fluently, but have a tenuous grasp on what's real, and what's not. Last week, the Future of Life Institute released an open letter that read “We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.” They asked researchers to jointly develop and implement a set of shared safety protocols governing the use of AI. That letter was signed by a collection of technologists and computer researchers, including big names like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Tesla's Elon Musk. However, some observers called the letter just another round of hype over the AI field. Dr. Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science at Berkeley, director of the Kavli Center for Ethics, Science, and the Public, and co-author of one of the leading AI textbooks was a signatory to that open letter calling for a pause in AI development. He joins Ira Flatow to explain his concerns about AI systems that are ‘black boxes'—difficult for humans to understand or control.   NASA Announces Artemis II Crew For Next Moon Mission This week, NASA announced the four person crew of the Artemis II mission to the moon: Commander Reid Weisman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. The crew has three firsts for a moon mission, the first woman, first person of color and first Canadian. While these Artemis II astronauts will not actually step foot on the moon, it's an important milestone for NASA's first moon mission since Apollo. Ira talks with Swapna Krishna, host of the PBS digital series, Far Out about this week's announcement and the future of the Artemis mission.   Will Rising Temperatures Help Batters Swing for the Bleachers? As the planet warms, melting ice and shifting seasons aren't the only things changing—the traditions of baseball may be affected as well. A report published this week in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society finds that warmer air temperatures are connected to a slight increase in the number of home runs hit in major league baseball. The effect, the researchers say, is due to a decrease in air density at warmer temperatures, which allows a hit ball to fly slightly further than it would in cooler air. So far, the effect is small. After correcting for other factors, the researchers say they can attribute about 500 additional MLB home runs since 2010 to warmer temperatures. Most of the observed increase in home run hitting isn't attributable to the climate. However, they say, each additional one degree Celsius increase in temperature may lead to a two percent increase in home runs. And while ballparks with an insulating dome won't see big shifts from increased temperatures, open-air parks with a lot of daytime games, such as Wrigley Field, will see more significant effects. Christopher Callahan, a Ph.D. candidate in geography at Dartmouth and lead author of the report, joins Ira to talk baseball and climate.   This Video Game Prioritizes Restoring An Ecosystem Over Profits If you've played Rollercoaster Tycoon, Cities: Skylines, the Civilization series—even Animal Crossing—you're probably familiar with this gameplay pattern: extract some kind of resource from the land, industrialize it into a theme park or a city, and (step three) profit, ad infinitum. But Terra Nil, a new game from the studio Free Lives, fundamentally challenges this oft-used game loop. Instead of maximizing profit at the expense of the local ecosystem, the player's focus is to make a healthier, natural one instead. You start with a barren wasteland (one that you assume has been completely desolated by human activity, perhaps the aftermath from one of the previously mentioned games), and with the help of advanced eco-tech—like wind turbines, soil purifiers, irrigators, and more—restore it to a thriving, diverse ecosystem. The player's ultimate goal is to take all the tech they used to restore the land, recycle it into an airship, and fly away, leaving no human presence behind. SciFri producer D Peterschmidt speaks with Sam Alfred, the lead designer and programmer of Terra Nil, about how Free Lives designed this “reverse city-builder,” how the studio took inspiration from the flora of their local Cape Town, and how he hopes the game challenges players how they think about traditional gameplay systems and their effect on our world.     Workout Worms May Reveal New Parkinson's Treatments Scientists built an exercise pool for tiny worms. Why? A team of researchers at University of Colorado Boulder are looking into ways to help treat people with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. They're turning to tiny collaborators, C. elegans, worms which measure just one millimeter in length. These scientists wanted to see how exercise affects brain health by putting a bunch of these worms in an exercise class—in a tiny pool. Ira talks with the co-author of this fascinating new research, Dr. Joyita Bhadra, post-doctoral researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Republican supporters made grand entrances at the former president's grievance-filled speech at Mar-a-Lago following his arrest, and Stephen can't get enough of the trailer NASA released to introduce the crew of the Artemis II moon mission.

Trending Middle East brings you the latest social media and search trends from the region and around the world. On today's episode, UAE's Ramadan food drive has raised more than Dh400 million in its first 10 days. The One Billion Meals campaign was launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, ahead of the holy month, to help the needy all over the world in a sustainable manner. Inspired by the Ramadan spirit of giving, Food ATM in Ajman is lending a helping hand and providing Dh3 meals for those on low incomes. Founder Ayesha Khan also provides thousands of free iftar meals throughout the holy month. Nasa has revealed the names of four astronauts who will fly around the Moon next year for a 10-day mission. Christina Koch and Victor Glover will make history as the first woman and first black person, respectively, to fly to the Moon. Canada's Jeremy Hansen will also be the first non-American to reach the Moon. Former US president Donald Trump has returned to his native New York for an investigation over his role in an alleged hush-money payment that was made in 2016. Mr Trump is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday after he became the first former president to be indicted on criminal charges.

Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.

When astronaut Christina Koch embarked on her 11-month spaceflight, she knew it would be a record-breaking mission; what she didn't know is that she would return to Earth just at the start of a global pandemic. CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta celebrates Women's History Month with an extended conversation with Koch about her remarkable journey and all that she has accomplished. Plus, Koch shares her tips for mentally preparing for a challenge, whether you're in up space or here on Earth. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
