Episode 73 - Intergalactic BFR with Luke Hughes, PhD Summary In this episode, Johnny Owens and Dr. Luke Hughes discuss the applications of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) in space and its potential to mitigate deconditioning in astronauts. They explore the physiological changes that occur in microgravity, the importance of exercise countermeasures, and the innovative research being conducted to understand the mechanisms behind BFR's effectiveness. The conversation also touches on the implications of BFR for bone health, clinical applications, and future research directions. Takeaways BFR is a promising tool for mitigating muscle and bone deconditioning in space. Fluid shifts in microgravity can lead to significant health issues for astronauts. BFR can enhance the effectiveness of low-intensity aerobic exercise. Research is ongoing to understand the mechanisms behind BFR's benefits for bone health. BFR protocols need to be personalized for different patient populations. The use of BFR in clinical settings shows potential for improving recovery outcomes. BFR can help prevent amputations in patients with severe vascular issues. Understanding the impact of pressure on blood flow is crucial for optimizing BFR protocols. BFR can be integrated into rehabilitation programs for various conditions. Future research will focus on the long-term effects of BFR in both space and clinical settings.

This is an interview with me on The Last Easy Mile podcast with Josh Farahi. Video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFRZvPc3U&ab_channel=TheLastEasyMilePodcast THE LAST EASY MILE: https://linktr.ee/TheLastEasyMilePodcast In this episode, Fraser Cain—founder of Universe Today and co-host of Astronomy Cast—shares why space still matters. From watching meteor showers with your kids to seeing Saturn's rings through binoculars in a city, Fraser offers practical ways to reconnect with awe. He reflects on raising science-minded kids, his love of tabletop RPGs, and how parents can create deeper imaginative experiences than screens can provide. We also talk about the James Webb Space Telescope, the Mars rovers, and the Vera Rubin Observatory, which will capture time-lapse images of the sky. Fraser warns against the growing distrust of experts, advocating for humility, critical thinking, and Carl Sagan's “baloney detection toolkit.”

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1100: Franchised dealerships saw a 22% profit surge in Q2, led by strong gains in import and domestic brands. Ford unveiled a high-tech electric Bronco, but it's only for China. Meanwhile, Tesla opened its retro-style diner and drive-in in Hollywood, complete with Superchargers, rooftop views, and robot service.Franchised dealerships saw a big jump in net profits this quarter as customers rushed to buy before tariffs hit, according to the Q2 2025 Presidio-NCM Benchmark. Profit gains came with a small asterisk because of the big cybersecurity hit last year. However this does mark the first quarterly improvement in domestic brands in three years.Average franchised dealerships posted a 22% net profit increase year-over-year, helped by both import and domestic brand gains.Import stores led with a 34% profit rise, luxury stores up 32%, and domestic stores rebounded 24% for the first time since 2022.New-vehicle gross profit per unit rose 6.1% from Q1 2025 to $2,128, reversing a multi-year decline.Used-vehicle gross profit climbed 11%, while finance and insurance income increased 5.6%, supporting overall revenue growth to $22 million per dealership.“Sustained profitability will come from a focus on fundamentals and a willingness to adapt as market conditions continue to evolve,” said Paul Faletti, CEO of NCM Associates.Ford has built a fully electric Bronco SUV with some impressive specs like 403-mile range, advanced EV tech, including lidar and 30+ sensors for semi-autonomous driving, and a heavier/smoother ride but there's a catch… it's only coming to ChinaThe Bronco New Energy offers two powertrains: a full electric with a 105 kWh battery and an extended-range hybrid (EREV) combining a 43.7 kWh battery with a 1.5L gas generator.The hybrid version can cover up to 800 miles total, with 137 miles purely on battery before the gas engine kicks in.The SUV is big and heavy—nearly 5,800 pounds and almost 9 inches longer than the gas Bronco—providing a planted ride but potentially slower cornering.Ford's smart cabin includes unique modes like “naps, pets, camping overnight” designed for comfort and convenience.Tesla's new Diner and Drive-In in Hollywood is ready to serve nostalgia and innovation side by side. Opening July 21, 2025, this retro-futuristic spot combines classic diner vibes with 75 Tesla Supercharger stalls and even features a Tesla Optimus robot.The two-story, saucer-shaped diner sits on historic Route 66 and offers 9,300 sq ft including a rooftop bar with panoramic views.Classic movies and SpaceX launch footage play on two massive LED screens syncing audio to your Tesla's stereo for a true drive-in experience.Tesla owners get exclusive perks like in-car touchscreen ordering and carhop service on roller skates delivering diner classics served in Cybertruck-themed packaging.Charging supports up to 250 kW for Models S, 3, X, Y, aJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Chapter 23 opens with a sweeping exploration of how the Space Force emerged from a decades-long struggle between visionaries and entrenched bureaucracy. In this conversation, retired Air Force General Stephen Kwast recounts how the idea of space dominance was born in the minds of strategists as far back as the 1940s and why it took until 2019, and the political will of President Trump, to finally establish an independent military branch. General Kwast explains how the Space Force differs from Space Command, why consolidating satellite control was a historic milestone, and how public-private partnerships with companies like SpaceX will transform defense and daily life. The discussion charts the path from Sputnik to Starlink, weaving in Cold War lessons, bureaucratic infighting, and the technological breakthroughs needed to fuel what he calls a golden age. Throughout, the episode warns of the dangers of overclassification, the fragility of centralized systems, and the urgency of building resilience. The narrative closes with a powerful call for civic vigilance and the conviction that space power will be the cornerstone of America's security and prosperity in the years ahead.

On this week’s episode of Elon, Inc., host Max Chafkin and Bloomberg News reporters Dana Hull and Kurt Wagner chat about Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI. The endeavor just debuted its new Grok 4 model on the heels of an antisemitism controversy, but Musk sees a brighter future for his creation, claiming it might discover “new physics” one day. Before that happens, though, the buzziest feature of the model is its AI companions—including a pigtailed and corseted anime character. Musk introduced Grok 4 as news dropped that one of his other companies, SpaceX, would invest in xAI, and that another company he happens to run, Tesla, might follow suit (pending a shareholder vote). Our guests discuss what exactly it means when a rocket company and a car company invest in another company that’s making AI girlfriends, especially when all those companies happen to be run by the richest man in the world. Then Wagner takes over the hosting chair to interview New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer about the role Musk and his Silicon Valley billionaire pals have played in building the Trump administration, starting before the Republican took office. The conversation is the first in a summer series in which our Elon, Inc. panelists interview Musk reporters about the stories we’re jealous we didn’t write first. Schleifer recounts the weeks following Election Day last year, when Musk embedded himself at Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago in an effort to influence the future president’s plans. As candidates for top cabinet positions began swinging by the Florida club, they found themselves seated across from Musk’s loyal aides. Wagner and Schleifer also discuss the constantly evolving relationship between Musk and Trump, and whether Musk will still be involved in politics when the year comes to a close.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Five IDF divisions, made up of tens of thousands of troops, continue to operate across Gaza. Dozens of airstrikes were carried out in the past days, but one in particular has captured international attention: a strike near a Gaza water distribution point that reportedly killed several children. The IDF said Sunday that it was an accident and attributed it to a “technical malfunction.” Fabian reports on the accidental strike and compares the IDF's quick accountability of it to reports of mass deaths from humanitarian aid distribution sites. A proposed plan to establish a “humanitarian city” in southern Gaza’s Rafah continues to receive backlash. According to the plan, at least 600,000 Palestinians would be allowed into a newly rebuilt area of the city after being cleared that they are not Hamas. Some critics -- including former prime minister Ehud Olmert -- allege that it resembles the Nazi concentration camps built during World War II. Fabian talks about the plan, puts it in to the greater context of the entire Gideon's Chariots operation and explains the reported criticism from within the IDF itself. Israeli troops found more than three tons of weapons while raiding military facilities inside Syria, including anti-tank mines, explosive devices, and rockets. The sites had been maintained by the deposed Bashar al-Assad regime. We hear about the raid and the scale of the troops' finds. Israel’s most advanced communications satellite, dubbed Dror-1, was successfully launched into space from Cape Canaveral in the United States on Sunday aboard a Falcon 9 two-stage rocket, manufactured by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Fabian was inside the Israeli control room and reports back. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Foram meses de intensa participação na campanha presidencial e mais 128 dias dentro da Casa Branca. E, então, deu-se o divórcio com Donald Trump, com direito a barraco público. No meio da briga, o presidente dos EUA ameaçou cortar incentivos públicos para a SpaceX, empresa de exploração espacial de Elon Musk, que depende de contratos com o governo. No meio da confusão política, Musk viu o valor das ações da Tesla desabar. Desde que o republicano tomou posse, os papéis da empresa de carros elétricos se desvalorizaram em cerca de 30%, uma perda na casa dos US$ 379 bilhões para o empresário. É nesse contexto que agora Elon Musk diz querer criar um partido para chamar de seu. O bilionário anunciou em sua rede social, o X, que vai criar o “Partido da América”, em uma tentativa de romper com o sistema bipartidário dominante nos EUA. Para explicar a viabilidade de um novo partido político e o que Musk pretende com isso, Julia Duailibi conversa com Cesar Zucco, professor titular de Política e de Políticas Públicas da FGV-RJ. Ele explica como o sistema político e partidário dos EUA contribui para a dominância de republicanos e democratas. E avalia as dificuldades para que um terceiro partido tenha representatividade no Congresso. Depois, Julia recebe Daniela Braun, repórter de tecnologia do jornal Valor Econômico, que comenta o desempenho das empresas do bilionário diante das crises políticas protagonizadas por ele.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the gang is joined by Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase, for a wide-ranging conversation on crypto's next big frontier: tokenized stocks. From Robinhood's controversial attempt to tokenize SpaceX and OpenAI shares to the legal and structural hurdles around pre-IPO derivatives, the crew dives deep into what it really takes to bring Wall Street on-chain. They also unpack the regulatory momentum behind the Genius and Clarity Acts, the return of ICO mania with Pump.fun's $1B token raise, and the absurdly viral drama of Suitgate on Polymarket. Is this a new era of regulated innovation—or are we just recreating old problems on new rails? Tune in for sharp takes, legal insight, and a few laughs along the way. Show highlights

Love him or hate him, many consider Elon Musk to be a modern-day genius. He co-founded PayPal, which transformed how people purchase things. He became the CEO of Tesla, which revolutionized electric vehicles—and made it cool to drive them. He founded SpaceX, accomplishing what only superpower nation-states have previously. And he is working to make our species interplanetary—maybe in a few years, we'll be doing this podcast on Mars. To many, these acts make Elon Musk a genius, perhaps the most important genius in history. But it's worth asking: What exactly makes him a genius? Is it a particular set of qualities, or is Elon Musk just particularly adept at playing the role of genius? Or at least what we've come to expect of geniuses? Is his offensive behavior excused by his genius, or the result of it? And why do human beings value genius, even to the point of deifying it? All of these questions are raised in Helen Lewis's new book, The Genius Myth. And not just with regard to Musk, but to so many of the figures our culture venerates as geniuses: Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs. Lewis asks: Were these people actually geniuses? Or was their genius based on a myth? And more importantly, how does our perception of “genius” confuse and distort our understanding of success—and how we value, or don't value, other human beings? Today on Honestly, Bari asks Helen Lewis if some people belong to a special and superior class, what it means to be a genius, and if she believes in geniuses at all.
