In July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto, revealing its surface to our view for the first time. In this program, Drs. Alan Stern and David Grinspoon give us an insider's view of how this complex mission came to be and what it discovered at the edge of our solar system.  Their recent book  (with the same title) tells the full story of the mission, its ground-breaking discoveries at Pluto, and where it's going next.  Here is the story of path-breaking exploration and new science, straight from the source, with insight into what it's like to be part of a  planetary mission that goes to a destination never before visited.  (Recorded May 15, 2018)

Dr. Alan Stern is the Co-founder and Chief Scientist of World View, the leading stratospheric technology company in the world. Alan has been involved in several missions, including the New Horizons mission—a multi-decade undertaking Alan led to send the first spacecraft to Pluto. Alan was inducted into the Colorado Space Hall of Fame and hailed as one of the 100 Most Influential People by Time Magazine in 2007. Alan joins me today to discuss his journey to leading New Horizonsand the road to his first spaceflight. You'll hear about how his childhood experiences molded his desire to become an astronaut and his struggles with formal education. He explains what led him to co-found World View. He also highlights what it takes—and what it means—to explore our solar system and shares what the New Horizons mission discovered at Pluto. “Excel at whatever you choose to do, whether it's astronomy, oceanography, or atmospheric science. Be at the top, get yourself in gear, and set yourself apart.” - Alan Stern This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores: Alan's childhood years and what inspired him to be part of space exploration The first book Alan wrote and his struggles with formal education The road to Alan's first spaceflight The difference between a mission specialist and a payload specialist How New Horizons was started and how Alan was selected for the mission What stratospheric ballooning is and what led Alan to co-found World View How stratospheric ballooning works and its advantages over satellite surveillance Meeting Richard Branson for the first time and what sub-orbital flight trajectory means Alan's advice to young people who dream of spaceflight The role of studying English in a scientific career Thinking about the size of the solar system and why Pluto matters The geometry, physics, timing, and manpower involved in sending New Horizonsto Pluto The hibernation technique and what the New Horizons mission discovered about Pluto Spaceflight traditions, superstitions, and the value of community Our Favorite Quotes: “Follow your heart. If it's a burning desire, you can do anything. It doesn't matter what it is—people excel at things they love and are driven to do.” - Alan Stern “An important part of being a good scientist is writing and speaking.

Amanda Christensen, ideaXme guest interviewer and strategist at Cubaka, speaks with David Grinspoon, PhD. astrobiologist, senior scientist at the Planetary Institute and award winning author. They talk of NASA's Davinci+ mission to Venus. Specifically, they discuss: What we can learn from Venus to increase our understanding of climate change on Earth. Further, Grinspoon talks more broadly of how we all need to "human up", his call to action for humans to tackle the geological damage that we have created thus far to ensure our future survival. ideaXme interview chapters: 00:53 I am interested in worlds, not just this one, at least in the sense of planets. 01:08 I am trained as a planetary scientist. 01:56 I was trained by the people that built these first spacecrafts. 04:13 NASA just selected 2 Venus missions. 07:35 This is the first time that we'll send 21st Century instruments to Venus. 10:46 This is going to launch in 2029. 11:51 For me one of the fascinations in general is with what we call comparative planetology. Venus It is a treasure of information of how climate works on planets. 21:55 We have to look at all other aspects of how we interact with the planet. 22.51 We need to human-up! 29:40 I had the good fortune of knowing Carl Sagan. 30:07 I don't know if I would be a space scientist if I had not encountered him at an early age. 31:38  I am very grateful for his presence on Earth and his influence. Biography: David Grinspoon PhD., is an astrobiologist, award-winning science communicator, and prize-winning author. Moreover, he is also a successful musician. Grinspoon's is part of NASA's recently announced *Davinci+ mission to explore Venus. "I've been pushing for this for literally my entire career. The last U.S. Venus mission launched in 1989, the year I finished grad school. There's so much to learn about climate, history of Earth-like worlds and life in the universe. I can't describe how thrilled I am". David Grinspoon. His newest book is Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto, co-authored with Alan Stern. He is a Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute and an Adjunct Professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Science at the University of Colorado. His research focuses on climate evolution on Earth-like planets and potential conditions for life elsewhere in the universe. He is involved with several interplanetary spacecraft missions for NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Japanese Space Agency. In 2013, he was appointed as the inaugural Chair of Astrobiology at the U.S. Library of Congress, where he studied the human impact on Earth systems and organized a public symposium on the Longevity of Human Civilization. His technical papers have been published in Nature, Science, and numerous other journals, and he has given invited keynote talks at conferences around the world. David's popular writing has appeared in Slate, Scientific American, Natural History, Nautilus, Astronomy, Seed, The Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and Sky & Telescope Magazine, where he is a contributing editor and writes the quasi-monthly “Cosmic Relief” column. His book Earth in Human Hands was named a Best Science Book of 2016 by NPR's Science Friday. His previous book Lonely Planets: The Natural Philosophy of Alien Life won the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Nonfiction. David has been a recipient of the Carl Sagan Medal for Public Communication of Planetary Science by the American Astronomical Society, and has been honored with the title “Alpha Geek” by Wired magazine. He lectures widely, and appears frequently as a science commentator on television, radio, and podcasts, including as a frequent guest on StarTalk Radio and host of the new spinoff StarTalk All Stars. Also a musician, he currently leads the House Band of the Universe. *NASA has selected two new missions to Venus, Earth's nearest planetary neighbour. The missions' aim is to understand how Venus became an inferno-like world when it has so many other characteristics similar to ours – and may have been the first habitable world in the solar system, complete with an ocean and Earth-like climate.

 SUMMARY Astrobiologist, planetary scientist, and award-winning science writer David Grinspoon captures the bigger-than-life true adventure story of the pioneer flight to Pluto in Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto. According to Grinspoon and coauthor Alan Stern, “The effort to explore Pluto was an unlikely and sometimes harrowing story, with so many unexpected twists and turns, seeming dead ends, and narrow escapes that it hardly seems possible that it actually succeeded—but it did.” At a now-legendary dinner at an Italian restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland, a small group of “Plutophiles” meets to strategize how to increase public interest in planning a space mission to Pluto. The same people eventually become the New Horizons team. But first, they implement letter-writing campaign to flood NASA Headquarters and political stakeholders, giving evidence of broad public interest in Pluto. They also organize conferences for presenting serious academic papers about Pluto exploration. Finally, after years of fighting an uphill David-and-Goliath battle, the New Horizons team celebrates its victory against Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). But not for long. Winning the tough, competitive bid is only the beginning. The underdogs continue to face hundreds of unprecedented challenges, and they must avoid even the smallest snag, or they risk losing the opportunity to build the first spacecraft to reach Pluto. Somehow, however, against all odds, in 2006 New Horizons is on the launchpad in Florida ready to make the epic first flyby mission to planet Pluto, marking the beginning of reigniting the thrill of space exploration. In the words of authors Stern and Grinspoon, “Nothing quite like New Horizons has occurred in a generation—the raw exploration of new worlds. And nothing quite like it is currently planned to happen, ever again.” KEY PLAYERS & TERMS Alan Stern – known as “Mr. Pluto” and THE insider of the mission Clyde Tombaugh – a poor young farm poor from Kansas and unknown American hero who discovers Pluto at age 24 “Pluto Underground” – a group of young underdogs who politick NASA to fund a mission to the outer planet Ted Nichols – a high-school teenager who starts a “Save-the-Pluto-Mission” website and uses his own initiative, pluck, and a knack for publicity to persuade NASA to explore Pluto JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) – (in Pasadena, California) the premiere U.S. center for planetary exploration that is behind almost all the greatest space missions APL (Applied Physics Laboratory) – (in Baltimore, Maryland) a small upstart lab that outcompetes JPL by pushing the boundaries to design a less expensive spacecraft ready to launch more quickly New Horizons – spacecraft the size of a baby grand piano (with no moving parts) designed by APL for the 9-year flyby mission to Pluto Bill Nye, the Science Guy – one of many celebrity influencers who helps ignite and communicate public excitement and interest in Pluto exploration Brian May – guitar player from rock band Queen and card-carrying PhD astrophysicist who is involved in the science team and who writes an original song for New Horizons Gravity assist – a cost-saving technique using the gravity of Jupiter to fling New Horizons out towards Pluto Hibernation mode – another cost-saving technique that shuts down communication with the spacecraft intermittently, resulting in a decreased need for the ship’s energy in the air and fewer ground-team personnel on Earth QUOTES FROM GRINSPOON “Once a mission gets flown, then everybody pulls behind it.” “The public reaction to the exploration of Pluto helped to reawaken something partially forgotten since Voyager and Apollo: that people across the world love bold space exploration, are inspired by missions to never before explored places, and that such missions even have the power to inspire people and change lives.” BUY Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto RECOMMENDATION Watch "Pluto in a Minute" YouTube videos.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6BBgLGgB7g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1qUMY1oEvY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-zurr9PHKg&t=8s Connect with us on social media!

Like it or not, humans have become the dominant agent of change on the planet, and as we proceed further into the Anthropocene period, we have a responsibility to accept responsibility and find a way to gracefully integrate our presence. But what if we are not the only ones who have experienced this phenomenon? What if the process of inadvertent planetary change is universal? What if the climate challenges we face are a natural part of planetary evolution? David Grinspoon is an astrobiologist and award-winning author whose research focuses on the climate evolution of Earth-like planets and the potential for life elsewhere in the universe. David serves as a Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute and Adjunct Professor of Astrophysical and Planetary Science at the University of Colorado, and he has received the Carl Sagan Medal for Public Communication of Planetary Science. He was also the inaugural Chair of Astrobiology at the US Library of Congress, where he studied human impact on Earth systems. David is the author many books, including the ground-breaking Earth in Human Hands: Shaping Our Planet’s Future. Today, David joins Ross, Christophe and Paul to discuss the significance of the study of space in understanding our own planet. He offers insight around our obligation to learn to work WITH the planet, the concept of Great Filter events, and the utility of viewing our current challenges in the context of planetary evolution. David also shares his take on the longevity of civilizations and the growing alignment of local self-interest and global interests when it comes to climate solutions. Listen in for David’s predictions of where we’ll be 100 years from now and learn about the spiritual aspect of his work in connecting us with something larger than ourselves.   Resources David Grinspoon Earth in Human Hands: Shaping Our Planet’s Future by David Grinspoon Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Plutoby Alan Stern and David Grinspoon Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Spaceby Carl Sagan SETI Institute Our Final Century: Will the Human Race Survive the Twenty-First Century? by Martin Rees Books by Carl Sagan   Connect with Nori Nori Nori’s Crowdfunding Campaign Nori on Facebook Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes   Key Takeaways [3:33] David’s path to reversing climate change Always been ‘space geek’ Rise of astrobiology in planetary science Influence of Carl Sagan, activism First Chair of Astrobiology (Library of Congress)  [7:13] The significance of the study of space Priceless info about own planet + how it works Other examples of planetary evolution  [10:08] The role of humans in running the planet We have agency, moral obligation to prevent catastrophe Knowledge of Earth gives us responsibility to act  [15:00] David’s insight on the Anthropocene New geological era, humanity as dominant agent of change Not realistic to stop changing planet without mass die-off Learn to work WITH planet, ‘gracefully integrate presence’ [21:12] The idea of Great Filter events (Fermi paradox) No evidence of other technological civilizations May mean most don’t make it through ‘tech adolescence’ Potential that others struggling with similar issues Inadvertent planetary change = stage of evolution Sign of maturity to realize impact, change behavior [28:52] David’s take on the longevity of civilizations Useful time scale of 10K years recorded human history Leverage technology to work for, not threaten survival Hopeful to imagine others have survived challenges  [34:53] The alignment of self-interest and global interests Money to be made in reversing climate change Examples of local innovation that impacts planet as whole [38:57] David’s view of the next 100 years Trends in right direction to minimize damage Equal parts foresight and tragedy (not worst case) Post-fossil fuel world, population will level off/decline [42:48] The spiritual aspect of David’s work Makes us feel connected to things larger than selves Redefining selves as species = spiritual challenge Tipping points in physical and social systems Daily activities informed by fact that global species  

The principal investigator of the New Horizons mission to Pluto, a planetary scientist, and an aerospace executive and consultant, Dr. Alan Stern has participated in a mind-blowing 29 space missions and has served in the loftiest strata of contemporary American space exploration. The chair of astrobiology at the U.S. Library of Congress, Dr. David Grinspoon studies climate evolution, the conditions for life elsewhere in the cosmos, and space-exploration strategy. He has consulted on interplanetary missions for several international space agencies and is on the team for NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover. He is the author of Earth in Human Hands, a ''remarkable synthesis of natural history, planetary science, extinction histories ... and the human effect on the world'' (Forbes). In Chasing New Horizons, Stern and Grinspoon go inside and then beyond the science, politics, and egos of the 3 billion-mile trip to the edge of our solar system for the once-in-a-lifetime 32,000-miles-per-hour flyby of Pluto.

In 2015, the New Horizons Spacecraft flew past Pluto. Because Pluto is so far away, it took nearly 10 years of travel for the spacecraft to reach that distant dwarf planet -- and that was after a decade of work to get the spacecraft to the launch pad. Planetary scientists Alan Stern and David Grinspoon have written a new book, called: “Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto”. The book tells the story of developing and operating the New Horizon mission. How on Earth’s own Joel Parker is also a scientist on the New Horizons mission, and he had a chance to chat with Alan and David about their book. Last week we heard the first part of this interview. In today’s show, we present Part 2 of that interview.  You can also listen to the full extended interview.

The New Horizons mission was a triumph, revealing Pluto as an utterly unique and beautiful world. But the mission first had to survive challenge after challenge, fighting to be developed, meeting a nearly impossible launch deadline, and then narrowly avoiding disaster when it was barely a week from its destination. The entire dramatic tale has now been told by Principal Investigator Alan Stern and his co-author, astrobiologist David Grinspoon.  They join Mat Kaplan to talk about their book, Chasing New Horizons—Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto.  A signed copy of the book will go to the winner of this episode’s space trivia contest.  Emily Lakdawalla has returned from an international gathering of Mercury scientists with a special report.  The Planetary Society’s Senior Editor also marks the launch of a Chinese lunar orbiter.  Learn more about this week’s topics and see images here: http://www.planetary.org/multimedia/planetary-radio/show/2018/0523-stern-grinspoon-chasing-new-horizons.htmlLearn more about your ad choices.

Listen in on this remarkable conversation with mission leader Dr. Alan Stern and co-author of the spell-binding new book Chasing New Horizons, Dr. David Grinspoon, as they recount the story of the men and women behind this amazing mission: of their decades-long commitment and persistence; of the political fights within and outside of NASA; of the sheer human ingenuity it took to design, build, and fly the mission; and of the plans for New Horizons’ next encounter, 1 billion miles past Pluto in 2019. Told from the insider’s perspective of mission leader Dr. Alan Stern and others on New Horizons, and including two stunning 16-page full-color inserts of images, Chasing New Horizons is a riveting account of scientific discovery, and of how much we humans can achieve when people focused on a dream work together toward their incredible goal. Nothing like this has occurred in a generation―a raw exploration of new worlds unparalleled since NASA’s Voyager missions to Uranus and Neptune―and nothing quite like it is planned to happen ever again. The photos that New Horizons sent back to Earth graced the front pages of newspapers on all 7 continents, and NASA’s website for the mission received more than 2 billion hits in the days surrounding the flyby. At a time when so many think that our most historic achievements are in the past, the most distant planetary exploration ever attempted not only succeeded in 2015 but made history and captured the world’s imagination.  

In July of 2015, a spacecraft called New Horizons gave humankind its first close-up view of a small, misunderstood world called Pluto. It took almost 10 years for New Horizons to soar across more than 3 billion miles of space and give us our first meeting with Pluto and its family of moons. But that journey is just a small part of a much bigger and more harrowing story of how New Horizons came to be. It was a mission that was decades in the making, an endeavor that endured several near-death experiences, from its early planning stages all the way to the eve of its encounter with Pluto. Our guests are now telling this incredible story in the new book Chasing New Horizons: Inside the Epic First Mission to Pluto, having experienced this adventure first-hand and from two very different perspectives. Alan Stern is the principle investigator of the New Horizons mission, and his co-author, David Grinspoon, is an astrobiologist, author, and advisor to NASA who witnessed the New Horizons saga as it unfolded and helped to bring its story to life.
