Podcast appearances and mentions of Christina Koch

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.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In local news, Foggy Pine Books announced Monday that they will be closing on April 15. According to the Appalachian, Max Ruthless, owner of the independent bookstore made the announcement on Instagram after seven years of business.

According to WSOC-TV, Christina Koch is one of the mission specialists who will take the first trip to the moon in 50 years. Koch is from Jacksonville North Carolina but went to highschool in Durham before going on to earn degrees in electrical engineering and physics along with a masters degree in science from North Carolina State University. This is Koch's second spaceflight with her first being an all-female spacewalk in 2019. The Artemis II mission is tentatively set to launch a crew of four astronauts in November 2024. The spacecraft is set to go up, and perform a flyby of the moon before returning back to Earth.  In national news, Tennessee Republican lawmakers took the first steps Monday to expel three of its Democratic members. According to AP news, Representatives Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson led chants in the House floor encouraging protesters advocating for stricter gun laws in the state. The protests are occuring in the wake of a recent Nashville school shooting that killed six people, including three children. The vote is expected to take place on Thursday. Now to sports. App State baseball stayed hot, as they beat the UNC Ashville Bulldogs 7-3 yesterday at the Greenwood baseball field. Hayden Cross had a good game at the plate, going 3-5 with an RBI single, and CJ Boyd had two hits, including a triple and an RBI off of a sacrifice fly ball. The win continues a hot streak for the Mountaineers, as they have won three of the past four games. That included a series win at Louisiana this past weekend, which meant that they won their first three conference series for the first time since joining the sun belt. The 16-11 Mountaineers are only four wins off from their win total last year, and will play their next series starting tomorrow at 6PM against Louisiana Monroe in Boone.  College basketball has ended, and a new men's and women's champion have been crowned. The UCONN Huskies have won their fifth men's basketball national championship after beating the San Diego State Aztecs 76-59. The Huskies dominated their competition, winning every NCAA tournament game by double digits on their tournament run. The LSU Tigers won their first ever women's basketball national championship, defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes 102-85. The 102 points in the national championship were the most points scored by any women's basketball team in a women's national championship game, and even exceeded any point total by an individual team in a women's final four game.  This has been your Wednesday morning sports report, and it is now time for your Boone weather report. And now for a special weather report powered by booneweather.com! Today will be a partly cloudy day with very warm temperatures including a high of 73 and a low of 58.

The Artemis II crew has been chosen!

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.

NASA a anunțat numele membrilor echipajului Artemis-2: Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover și Reid Wiseman.

April 4, 2023 ~ Lloyd Jackson, WJR Senior News Analyst tells Paul, Christina Koch, a West Michigan woman is among NASA's first moon crew in 50 years.

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
