Bob was welcomed back to the show and immediately began talking about possible NASA layoffs, the new administrator and his confirmation and how the layoffs would be beneficial given his view of NASA not being efficient in what it does. The cancellation of SLS came up and between layoffs, NASA, the new administrator, the possible termination of SLS and the timing of such a cancellation, that covered most of the program. Near the end, a caller asked about the asteroid being talked about as possibly hitting Earth in 2032. Both the caller and Bob were critical of NASA and the science community for not doing anything I directed both to hear the recent Feb. 14 program with Dr. Ed Lu of the B612 Foundation for the facts rather than their speculation. Both the caller and Jerry from GA said they would listen to the program and provide feedback on what they hear with that interview. Please post your comments on our blog for this show. If the asteroid issue is of interest to you, listen to the Feb. 14th program with Dr. Ed Lu. Your comments on that discussion are welcome.

Dr. Ed Lu, Executive Director of the Asteroid Institute, a program of B612 Foundation was our guest. We started out discussing the asteroid YR-4 which has a chance of hitting Earth around 2030. Ed spent time talking about this rock, how the calculations for a hit are determined, orbits, programs and possible methods plus timing of deflecting it. This discussion was a major part of our program and one you do not want to miss. Other topics talked about including the ADAM Platform (Asteroid Discovery Analysis and Mapping) which is Open Source so anyone can use it for tracking an asteroid. Ed explained in detail, also what it is doing re YR-4. We got a few callers with multiple questions plus emails. Also mentioned were the telescopes being used including the JWST and the upcoming Vera Rubin in Chile. He was asked about the NASA Surveyor project which will be online in the near future.

In a collaboration between the Asteroid Institute and Google Cloud, machine learning algorithms identified 27,500 new asteroids using existing data sets from the NOIRLab Source Catalog Data Release 2 (NSC DR2). While most of the asteroids are in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, more than 100 are considered Near-Earth Asteroids. Developed by the Asteroid Institute, the algorithm is called Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery (THOR), and it "projects theoretical orbits across millions of observed moving points of light and links together those points that are consistent with real physical orbits". Join communications specialist Beth Johnson in a conversation with Ed Lu, Executive Director of the Asteroid Institute, as they discuss these results and how they affect our planetary defense outlook.

Safe Is Not an Option Paperback – October 31, 2013  by  Rand E. Simberg  (Author), William Simon  (Editor), Ed Lu  (Foreword) https://www.amazon.com/Safe-Not-Option-Rand-Simberg/dp/0989135519/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= The history of exploration and establishment of new lands, science and technologies has always entailed risk to the health and lives of the explorers. Yet, when it comes to exploring and developing the high frontier of space, the harshest frontier ever, the highest value is apparently not the accomplishment of those goals, but of minimizing, if not eliminating, the possibility of injury or death of the humans carrying them out.  For decades since the end of Apollo, human spaceflight has been very expensive and relatively rare (about 500 people total, with a death rate of about 4%), largely because of this risk aversion on the part of the federal government and culture. From the Space Shuttle, to the International Space Station, the new commercial crew program to deliver astronauts to it, and the regulatory approach for commercial spaceflight providers, our attitude toward safety has been fundamentally irrational, expensive and even dangerous, while generating minimal accomplishment for maximal cost.  This book entertainingly explains why this means that we must regulate passenger safety in the new commercial spaceflight industry with a lighter hand than many might instinctively prefer, that NASA must more carefully evaluate rewards from a planned mission to rationally determine how much should be spent to avoid the loss of participants, and that Congress must stop insisting that safety is the highest priority, for such insistence is an eloquent testament to how unimportant they and the nation consider the opening of this new frontier.

神州五号胜利返航,中央电视台白岩松采访中国第一名太空人杨利伟时有这么段对话:  白岩松:还有一点是很多观众也非常关心的,你在整个飞行的20多个小时的过程中,看地球的感受是怎样的,有没有看到大家都在说的长城?  杨利伟:看地球景色非常美丽,但是我没有看到我们的长城。 白岩松之所以有此问,是因为有一个众所周知的说法,认为万里长城是太空中唯一可以用肉眼看到的人工建筑。例如,2000年语文高考试卷要求阅读理解鲍昌《长城》一文,其结语就是:  “哦,长城!我不知你对此作何感想。你那虽然古老但仍坚固的躯体,愿意接待 异域殊方的杂色人流吗?你能承受住历史的再冲荡和新世纪的胎动吗?  “你不语。你扎根的纠墨。群山不语,并晴洁气爽的长天也不语。  “但人们告诉我:外层空间能看到的地球上惟一的人工痕迹,就是你呵,长城!” 这种说法在国外也颇流行。美国出的麦片包装盒上经常写一些给小孩看的小知识, 我就见过有一种写着“你知道中国的长城是太空唯一肉眼可见的人造物吗?”还有一个更离奇的说法,说长城是月球上唯一肉眼可见的人造物,这后一种说法可能是更早的说法。有人计算过,人眼在月球上绝对无法分辨出地球上的长城。不过更有说服力的是登过月球的宇航员的证词。曾乘阿波罗12号登月的阿兰·彼恩(Alan Bean)说: “在月球上你能看到只是一个美丽的圆球,大多部分是白色的(云),部分是蓝色的(海洋),点缀着黄色(沙漠),以及偶尔有些绿色的植被。在这个尺度上没有人造物是可见的。事实上,在首次离开地球轨道,仅几千英里之遥时,就见不到任何人造物了。”(月球离地球约23万7千英里,即38万4千公里。引文见Tom Burnam's More Misinformation(1980)) 另一位宇航员威廉·博格(William Pogue)曾在1973至1974年间在太空站工作,他所在的高度约300英里。他在1991年出版的一本书《在太空中如何盥洗》中指出,在那样的高度上已无法用肉眼看到长城,而需要用到望远镜才能看到。 那么,在较低的太空,例如航天飞机飞行的轨道上(离地球约160到350英里),能否看到长城呢?能看到,但是很难看到,而且还有许多人造物比长城更容易看到。美国《国家地理杂志》1996年11月号报道航天飞机宇航员杰·埃普特(Jay Apt)的话说: “我们寻找中国的长城。虽然我们能够看到象飞机场跑道这么小的东西,但是长城看来主要是由与周围的土壤同一颜色的材料建成的。尽管一直有故事说它能在月亮上看到,长城在只有180英里的上空就已经几乎不可见了。” 航天飞机宇航员在这个高度上能看到许多人造物,包括高速公路、飞机场、大坝、城市、麦田、桥梁等等。在太空站工作的华裔太空人卢杰(Ed Lu)指出:“从太空能够看到很多的东西。能够看到金字塔,特别是用望远镜更容易看到。用肉眼看起来有点困难。”他说,你能看到长城,但是它比许多其他物体更不容易看到,而且你必须知道朝哪里看。(引文见SPACE.com今年10月6日的报道) 这个有关长城的神话早在人类征服太空之前就已经开始出现了。没有人确切地知道它是谁炮制出来的。有人估计是在美国首次载人飞船升天之前,美国航空航天局的某位大腕的随口猜测,后来被误传成了实有其事。也有人发现,在1938年,美国著名探险家理查德·哈里伯敦(Richard Halliburton)在一本畅销书中就声称“天文学家说长城地球上唯一一个可以从月球上用肉眼看到的人造物”(见www.snopes.com/ science/greatwal.htm)。最近网友潘忠伟在翻看《胡适日记全编》时,发现早在1931年3月3日的《北平晨报》刊载国民党元老之一张继的演说就有这样一句话:  “兄弟又见法国一本书上说,假如人能到月亮里面去,俯视地球上的建筑,只有万里长城,此亦可见我们民族秦始皇的文化精神。”(引自《胡适日记全编》(1931- 1937),曹伯言整理,79页,安徽教育出版社,2001年) 如此看来,这个神话很可能是某个法国人的天才想象,又很快被我们中国人发扬光大了。这个神话很让某些虚荣的国人骄傲一番,可惜的是那不过是误传,要使他们失落一回了吧。根据高考语文的标准答案,鲍昌文章之所以要感慨长城是“外层空间能看到的地球上惟一的人工痕迹”是为了“显示出中华民族的伟大、自豪和自信,能承受改革开放的冲荡”,难道一个民族的伟大、自豪和自信,竟是要建立在这么一个子虚乌有的谣言之上的吗? 2003.10.30.

Throughout human history, mapping has been the key to the opening of new frontiers. Mapping of previously uncharted regions has enabled economic expansion and the development of new markets, science, and defense. For similar reasons, mapping the locations and trajectories of the millions of uncharted asteroids in our solar system is the key to opening the space frontier. This four-dimensional space map will be crucial to the economic development of space, the protection of the Earth from asteroid impacts, and to understanding the origin and evolution of Earth. Join Dr. Ed Lu, former NASA astronaut, co-founder of B612 Foundation and the current Executive Director of the Asteroid Institute as he makes the case for the need to chart the high frontier of space and learn how you can help. Dr. Ed Lu, Executive Director of the Asteroid Institute, served as a NASA Astronaut for twelve years. He flew aboard the Space Shuttle twice, flew on the Russian Soyuz to the International Space Station and has logged over 206 days in space. Dr. Lu has been an active research scientist working in the fields of solar physics, astrophysics, plasma physics, cosmology, and planetary science. He held positions at the High Altitude Observatory, the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics, and the Institute for Astronomy. At Google, he led the Advanced Projects group which built imaging and data gathering systems for Google Earth and Maps, Google StreetView, and Google Books.

Mind Reader – Author Jonathan Pritchard: Think Like A Mind Reader Interview https://www.thinklikeamindreader.com/ https://www.intrinsicmotivation.life Jonathan Pritchard has traveled the world as a mentalist, mind reader, and entertainer performing for thousands of fans demonstrating feats of the mind that are simply inexplicable. He’s performed on Vegas main stages, helped levitate American astronaut Ed Lu, entertained our troops stationed overseas, appeared on national TV, consulted for Criss Angel, and more. You might think he was born naturally outgoing, but you’d be mistaken. He was painfully shy as a child growing up in a trailer in the mountains of North Carolina. He’s had to learn the lessons for success the hard way and now he wants to share his experience with you. A couple years back he realized the psychological techniques he uses on stage are exactly the same he used off stage in his own life, business, and friendships to create a life that fit him perfectly. That’s when he understood he could do so much more for the world than help an audience forget their troubles for an hour; he could show them how to solve them forever! That’s why he wrote this book: to share the exact strategies he’s used to overcome his crippling shyness, overcome overwhelming depression after a divorce, and more. mind reader - dustin lynch - mind reader (audio).

Rusty Schweickart remembers when getting a man on the moon was at the top of the national agenda. JFK’s single minded decision to do that, according to Schweickart, “was perhaps the gutsiest, goal-setting episode in human history.” And Schweickart was part of that—as the pilot of the first manned test of the lunar module, the lander portion of the spacecraft-- during the Apollo 9 Mission in 1969. Schweickart also performed the first space-based test of the portable life support system and spacesuit that was used by the Apollo astronauts who walked on the Moon. He was later the backup commander of the first Skylab mission in 1973, the first U.S. orbital space station. He served as Director of User Affairs at NASA’s Office of Applications, transferring NASA technology to the private sector. Most recently, he co-founded the B612 Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to defending the earth from an asteroid impact. In this episode, Schweickart talks with veteran astronaut Tom Jones, also an IHMC senior scientist, about the potential threat of asteroids, the value of space-based asteroid-finding telescopes; and his contributions to getting the U.S. to the Moon in 1969. Jones and Schweickart also discuss the importance of conveying the hazard posed by asteroids to the general public. The second annual “Asteroid Day” is on June 30th. For more information: http://asteroidday.org. For more specific information about asteroid hazards, check out: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/neo/groups.html You can find more information on Rusty at his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_Schweickart Schweickart has given several lectures, including his IHMC lecture, “Deflecting an Asteroid:” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VU5R-x24Wc. 1:18: Schweickart and Jones are both experts in planetary defense against asteroids. When IHMC Director (and STEM-talk co-host) Ken Ford chaired the NASA Advisory Council, Schweickart and Jones co-chaired a council task force for planetary defense. Schweickart also co-founded the B612 foundation, dedicated to the discovery and deflection of asteroids. 2:00: Ford and Jones served as strategic advisors to the B612 Foundation, and its current CEO, former astronaut Ed Lu, will later be interviewed on STEM-Talk. 2:18: Ford said the “sky is falling” syndrome may explain why this issue is not a political or public priority. It’s hard to get political leaders very excited about a potentially cataclysmic event that is certain to happen in the long run, but very unlikely in any given year. 3:23: Ford reads a 5-star iTunes review of STEM-Talk from “Ian”: “I liked the personal aspects of the interviews, and the science is explained at a good level: easy to follow, but not dumbed down.” 3:58: Schweickart talks about the Chelyabinsk asteroid that fell over Russia on Feb. 15, 2013. “It was a pretty good wakeup call. The official attention was relatively narrow and off-base, but the reality is that we have a lot of material now; in addition to that, there’s been some very good analysis showing that we learned a lot from the Chelyabinsk impact.” 6:00: Schweickart discusses the B612 Foundation’s Sentinel Mission, which will be an infrared space telescope orbiting the Sun interior to the orbit of Earth for the purpose of mapping the trajectories of asteroids that may pose a future danger to Earth. “Fundraising for a space telescope has never been done before; it’s a pioneering effort that we got involved in, principally because NASA had not been doing much. We took it on as a private initiative since the government seemed to be lagging a bit.” 8:27: Schweickart explains the importance of space-based telescopes. “Infrared is a very important aspect of these space telescopes that are being proposed. In space, an infrared sensor gives you an advantage. An asteroid is a hot object; it therefore glows in the infrared; the rest of the sky is extremely cold,

The relatively small asteroid that exploded in the skies over Siberia last February, injuring over 1,000 people, was a shocking reminder that our planet is a target in a cosmic shooting range. Larger asteroids, from the width of a football field to the size of a small city, have the potential to be killers on a massive scale: in previous collisions with Earth, they have set off deadly blast waves, raging fires, and colossal tidal waves. Fortunately, space rocks like these can be deflected––if we have enough warning. But whose responsibility is it to survey for, and protect against, these potential doomsday bringers? Leaders of governmental and private organizations discuss the defense against the next strike. Speakers: Lindley Johnson, Ed Lu and Paula Apsell

Are humans smarter than dinosaurs? We haven’t proved it yet. In the long now, the greatest threat to life on Earth, or (more frequently) to civilization, or (still more frequently) to cities, is asteroid impact. The technology exists to eliminate the threat permanently. It is relatively easy and relatively cheap to do. However to date, government organizations have not made this a priority. That leaves nonprofits and private funding. Considerable efficiency may be gained by going that route. Ed Lu is CEO and Chairman of the B612 Foundation, which, in partnership with Ball Aerospace is building an asteroid-detection system called Sentinel, aiming for launch in 2018. A three time NASA astronaut, Lu is also the co-inventor of the “gravity tractor” -- one of the several techniques that can be used to nudge threatening asteroids out their collision paths with Earth. Asteroid threat is an attention-span problem blended with a delayed-gratification problem---exactly the kind of thing that Long Now was set up to help with. Taking the extreme danger of asteroids seriously requires thinking at century and millennium scale. Dealing with the threat requires programs that span decades, because asteroids can only be deflected if they are found and dealt with many years before their potential impact. The reality is that the predictability of orbital mechanics makes cosmic planetary defense completely workable. Sometimes real science is more amazing than science fiction. On February 15th of this year, civilization got a wake-up call. A 45 meter asteroid, large enough to completely obliterate a major city, missed Earth by only 17,000 miles, and hours later a smaller rock, 17 meters in diameter, exploded in the air over Chelyabinsk, Russia, injuring 1500 people. Interest in B612’s asteroid detection mission spiked accordingly.
