In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team presents an update on the well-attended annual Ohio Bigfoot Conference, before taking a deep-dive into one of the most promising new analytical endeavors related to relict hominoid research, The Sasquatch Data Project. Joining us to discuss this ambitious effort is Terrestrial, the nom de plume of the data scientist behind The Sasquatch Data Project who in the past worked on NASA's Dawn Mission related to the study of the dwarf planet Ceres. Terrestrial has a Bachelor of Science in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences from the Georgia Institute of Technology and is currently pursuing a Blue Ridge Naturalist certification. According to her website, while working as an undergrad at Georgia Tech, she played an integral role in categorizing, identifying, and measuring ground-ice features on Ceres for NASA's Dawn Mission, and first-authored a paper published in JGR: Planets, in addition to co-authoring several papers while working on this mission. Terrestrial tells us her interest in Sasquatch began at the early age of 5 and has only grown since. In 2023 she decided to retire as a professional Twitch gaming live-streamer and devote her time into creating the ultimate data resource to aid in the research of North America's soon-to-be-known great ape, the Sasquatch.

Polaris Dawn has done the impossible: making history with private citizens conducting a spacewalk. The extravehicular activity was done to test SpaceX's new suits. Fresh off of splashdown, mission commander & Shift4 CEO Jared Isaacman joins Morgan Brennan to discuss the view from his walk, how this space mission compared to Inspiration4— his previous venture—and the path ahead for the Polaris Program.

This week on NewsNight, a look at the issues facing the Boeing Starliner and what they mean for future commercial crew flights from the Space Coast. Plus, the Polaris Program and its role in the future of interplanetary travel. And former President Trump throws his support behind Florida's Amendment 3 to legalize recreational marijuana despite opposition from Governor DeSantis.
The most ambitious mission yet in the billionaire space race saw Jared Isaacman become the first non-professional astronaut to walk in space on Thursday, in partnership with Elon Musk's SpaceX. The Polaris Dawn mission has been welcomed by the aerospace community for pushing the boundaries of 21st-century spaceflight, but dismissed by some in the general public as just another vanity project for the rich. On this week's Tech 24, we discuss what the mission has achieved, and its lofty hopes for the future.

From The Vault: The Best Of Beyond Infinity. The first time one spacecraft orbited two separate objects in our solar system was NASA's pioneering DAWN mission to Vesta and Ceres. PLUS: Planet X - the hunt for the elusive 9th planet; and the JUNO spacecraft's hairy encounter with the gas giant Jupiter.
After 11 years in space and historic orbits of 2 separate objects in the main asteroid belt, the Dawn mission is over. Part of NASA's Discovery Program, Dawn was a huge success, demonstrating cutting-edge ion propulsion and vastly improving our knowledge of the origins of the solar system, the large asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres, a startling and exotic world believed to once have an ocean.

NASA's space probe Dawn has been orbiting the dwarf planet Ceres, which sits between Jupiter and Mars, for the past eighteen months. The probe is sending back data on this small body, which we previously knew almost nothing about. Last week, a whole constellation of papers detailing Dawn's discoveries were published in the journal Science.

The asteroid belt is portrayed in movies as a crowded place with massive rocks bouncing each other like pool balls, capable of sending a mile-wide missile hurtling toward Earth at any moment. The reality is much more fascinating. Host Dr. Michelle Thaller speaks with Dr. Lucy McFadden, Co-Investigator of NASA’s Dawn Mission to orbit the asteroids Vesta and Ceres. She shares what they’ve learned by traveling 130 million miles to visit places we’ve always viewed from afar. Episode Extras This image of asteroid Vesta is one of many images taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft to create an animation showing the diversity of minerals through color representation. This view from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft shows a fresh crater among older terrain on Ceres. Learn more about Dawn and see even more amazing photos right here. Orbital Path is produced by Justin O’Neill and hosted by Michelle Thaller.

Download A Beautiful World Podcast: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-bea…id986469943?mt=2 Heather McElhatton interviews the lead engineer of NASAs Dawn space probe, which is set to make discoveries on Ceres and Vesta, which are are the two most massive residents of the asteroid belt. Vesta is a rocky body, while Ceres is believed to contain large quantities of ice. The profound differences in geology between these two protoplanets that formed and evolved so close to each other form a bridge from the rocky bodies of the inner solar system to the icy bodies, all of which lay beyond in the outer solar system. At present, most of what we now know about Vesta and Ceres comes from ground-based and Earth-orbiting telescopes like NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The telescopes pick up sunlight reflected from the surface in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared, and by emitted radiation in the far-infrared and microwave regions. "A Beautiful World" is a news program produced by American Public Media that focuses on inspirational stories from around the world, featuring good news about science, technology, ecology, art, music and medicine. The program is hosted by best-selling author Heather McElhatton. Visit www.mpr.org/abeautifulworld for more stories and audio collections.
