Podcasts about falcon heavy rocket

On this week's episode, we recap the PSYCHE mission after launch on October 13th, 2023 onboard a Falcon Heavy Rocket from Kennedy Space Center at LC-39A (side booster's recovered at LZ1 & LZ2). This is the a mission of many firsts, but primarily the 1st mission to an all-metal asteroid for NASA.  We discuss: WHAT is the PSYCHE Mission? WHAT is Asteroid 16 PSYCHE? WHAT is an M-Type Asteroid? HOW will PSYCHE move around in space? WHAT kind of science will PSYCHE do once in orbit at the all-metal asteroid? WHY is the successful Falcon Heavy launch a win for the whole space industry? WHAT new innovative technologies will be tested during the mission? Best of luck to the PSYCHE team on their 6 year journey to the Asteroid located between Mars & Jupiter! A long but fascinating journey to explore the unknown. Let us know what YOU think in the comments or email us at todayinspacepodcast@gmail.com!

Welcome to the Astronomy Daily Podcast with Tim Gibbs and his AI co-host, Hallie. In this Friday, July 28th, 2023 episode, we're bringing you the latest cosmic happenings, from breathtaking meteor showers to SpaceX's ambitious space missions and a rare Einstein cross discovery. **Headline 1:** *The Delta Aquariots Meteor Shower Captivates Australia* Get ready for a celestial spectacle this weekend with the Delta Aquariots meteor shower peaking over Australia. Expected to showcase up to 20 shooting stars per hour, this stunning display doesn't require a telescope to enjoy. Learn more about the best times and ways to observe this medium-sized meteor shower that runs from July to August. **Headline 2:** *SpaceX's Record-Breaking Double Launch Attempt Postponed* SpaceX was poised to break records with their Falcon Heavy Rocket and Echo Star's Jupiter 3 satellite launch within a span of 44 minutes, but the mission got scrubbed. With a new target set for July 28, this record-breaking attempt involves the launch of the Hughes Jupiter 3 mission and Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 star-linked satellites. We dive into the specifics of the launch window and potential reasons for the delay. **Headline 3:** *SpaceX Successfully Launches 22 Star-linked Satellites* Despite the earlier postponement, SpaceX triumphantly launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 star-linked satellites into low-earth orbit. The launch from Cape Canaveral marked the 15th mission for the first stage booster, which then returned to Earth, landing on the autonomous ship in the Atlantic Ocean. **Headline 4:** *Astronomers Discover a Rare Einstein Cross* The cosmos continues to amaze us as astronomers uncover a rare Einstein Cross using the dark energy spectroscopic instrument at Kitt Peak National Observatory. An instance of gravitational lensing, the Einstein Cross, known as DESI 253.2534+26.8843, offers valuable information about the early universe. Find out more about this scientific treasure and what its unique structure reveals about distant galaxies. And we wrap up with a bit of humor, because who doesn't love a good (or bad) dad joke?

Welcome to a special 'One Show Thursday' episode of Astronomy Daily! On this day, Tim Gibbs and his AI sidekick, Hallie, delve into a striking discovery about Olympus Mons and an unfortunate delay of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch. **Key Discussions:** 1. **Olympus Mons as an Ancient Martian Volcanic Island:** Hallie unfolds an intriguing possibility about Olympus Mons, Mars' highest mountain, suggesting it could have been a giant volcanic island in an ancient Martian ocean. This theory is based on a recent study led by the Center National Drescherches Scientific (CNRS), revealing characteristics on Olympus Mons' slopes reminiscent of volcanic islands on Earth. These findings illuminate our understanding of Mars' history, hinting at a period of extensive volcanic activity and water presence, and shed light on astrobiology studies of Mars. 2. **SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch Postponed:** A record-breaking Falcon Heavy rocket launch by SpaceX got scrubbed last-minute due to undisclosed reasons. The launch aimed to deploy Jupiter 3, the largest commercial communication satellite ever built. Despite this setback, SpaceX looks ahead to their next-gen Starship vehicle, expected to generate an unparalleled 16.7 million pounds of thrust. **Tune in and Join the Conversation:** Never miss an episode with Tim Gibbs and AI assistant, Hallie, by visiting spacenuts.io or bitesz.com.

Hello and welcome back once again, we hope that everyone is having a fabulous time. This week we celebrate many achievements that are pure catnip for Nerds, to start with the eventual launch of the Falcon heavy rocket, also the first image of a black hole, my goodness, so much interstellar goodness. The first topic up this week is about electrical stimulation of the brain and how it can help improve memory. Now that doesn’t mean that any students should go out and start electrocuting themselves…although we all know that one person we want to zap. Research is still being developed on application of electrolysis in the treatment of Alzheimers and other issues, and NO, do not got out and electrocute the elderly, that is not cool. Next up we look at a lawyer and a lobbyist who has been banned from Eve online, apparently he claims to be innocent. It is all a misunderstanding or something is his defence, please I used that when I was 8 as an excuse, surely he can do better. Next he will be saying it was his dog did it. Then DJ has news about the cast being announced for the live action series of Cowboy Beebop. We are all nervous but hopefully this one will work, of course we aren’t holding our breathe. After all, they have to get one right eventually don’t they? What do you think is the worst live action adaption from anime? Drop us a line and let us know, also which is you favourite anime you would recommend? Then we have the games of the week, shout outs, remembrances, events of interest, and birthdays. Hot diggedy do, now that is looking like a great show. As always, take care and look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Electrical Stimulation - https://www.livescience.com/65177-electrical-stimulation-brain-memory.htmlLobbyist banned on EVE - https://www.pcgamer.com/a-real-life-lobbyist-was-just-permanently-banned-in-eve-online-for-corruption/Cowboy Bebop cast announced - https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/cowboy-bebop-netflix-live-action-series-cast-1203180399/Games currently playingBuck– Deceit - https://store.steampowered.com/app/466240/Deceit/DJ– Apex Legends - https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legendsProfessor– Krunker - https://krunker.io/Other topics discussedElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroconvulsive_therapyECT wipes 30 years of person’s memory- https://www.mdedge.com/psychiatry/article/62301/ect-wipes-out-30-years-memoriesSoviet Union aka CCCP- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_UnionSpike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop character)- https://cowboybebop.fandom.com/wiki/Spike_SpiegelDeath Note (2017 Netlfix film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note_(2017_film)Ghost in the Shell (2017 film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_(2017_film)Katie Bouman: The woman behind the first black hole image- https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47891902Shoutouts5th – 7th Apr 2019 – Melbourne Supanova 2019, Shaun from Comics2movies was there. - https://www.facebook.com/Comics2movies/7 Apr 1832 – Local farmer Joseph Thompson, a local farmer who was married in the year 1829, to his present wife was sold to Henry Mears, a pensioner, for the sum of 20 shillings and his Newfoundland dog - https://www.onthisday.com/articles/the-man-who-sold-his-wife10 Apr 2019 – Falcon Heavy Rocket launch - https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/spacex-s-falcon-heavy-rocket-set-first-commercial-launch-here-ncna992446Remembrances9 Apr 1926 – William Henry Johnson also known as Zip the Pinhead, was an American freak show performer famous for his tapered head. He was born one of six children to a very poor African-American family. His parents were William and Mahalia Johnson, former slaves. As he grew, his body developed normally but his head remained small. His tapering cranium and heavy jaw made him attractive to agents from van Emburgh's Circus in Somerville, New Jersey. His unusual appearance caused many to believe that he was a "pinhead", or microcephalic.

Do aliens exist? That’s a question mankind has asked itself for centuries. And these days with our powerful rockets and satellites, it seems the question could possibly be answered soon. The next four stories are ambitious and have generated buzz because they seek to answer one of humanties biggest questions. These are the 4 Most Realistic Chances of Finding Alien Life.

The Breakthrough Starshot Project Man’s curiosity knows no bounds and in the world of science and technology, often curiosity intersects in a way that could possibly bring even the most outlandish of dreams into reality. One of the top scientific thinkers of today, Stephen Hawking, together with Facebook owner, Mark Zuckerberg and Russian tycoon, Yuri Milner have teamed up to create a unique project involving tiny rockets and finding alien life. Dubbed as the Breakthrough Starshot Project, its been deemed a philanthropic initiative. Its main goal is to discover alien life in the far universe as well as to explore deep space regions in search of planets that could potentially sustain life. 3. The Sara Seager Equation Frank Drake calculated the possibility of finding intelligent alien life in the far-flung universe in 1961. It’s called The Drake Equation and it was created to estimate the number of civilizations that might exist throughout the known universe. While Drake focused on finding alien life with radio technology, more recently a parallel equation was created by astronomer and planetary scientist, Sara Seager. Her equation focuses on determining the possibility of alien life that can be detected from Earth. 2. Elon Musk & SPACE Xz With the most recent launch of the Falcon Heavy Rocket, the heaviest and most powerful in the world right now, it’s no surprise Elon Musk is slowly on his way to bringing space, particularly Mars, closer to humanity. For years, he has spoken about his intentions to bring people to Mars and eventually create a space colony on the red planet. But how does he intend to do this? And above all, is it even possible? Musk has already made headway with his recent rocket launches. Space X has grown from a startup company to the most premiere privately-owned space company in the world. And more recently, they’ve proven they can launch rockets capable of carrying a huge payload which is paving the way for humans to eventually travel in them too. The 23-story Falcon Heavy launch was essentially a test flight for other future rockets of the same caliber. Inside it was Musk’s cherry red Tesla Roadster with a mannequin donning a spacesuit. According to Musk, he hopes the rocket and other improved versions will eventually be used to shuttle humans through space. 1. Government Has Already Made Contact When it comes to talk of alien existence, it’s hard not to mention the government. For many, there’s a growing conspiracy that we don’t really need to find out if UFOs exist, because the government has already made contact – they’re just keeping it a secret from the rest of us. From Roswell to the mysterious existence of Area 51, the government has been accused of doing an extensive job of cover up the truth about So those were the 4 MOST REALISTIC CHANCES OF FINDING ALIEN LIFE ------------ These are only four possibilities of us finding out about alien life. But the reality is that there are many other things that could happen at any moment, that prove once and for all that we are not alone in the universe.

Jesse and Dave talk about the Falcon Heavy Rocket, The Space Tesla, The David Bowie of Mars, Raptors, Cloacal Kisses, Eagle Chickens, Polyamorous Duck Cocaine Parties, and Eagle Sex Death Dives! Also Molly Wixson (@mollywixson) joins us to talk about Falcon facts!

Your hosts, Tony DiBernardo and Florencia Pina introduce themselves and the podcast. Every episode you'll learn about current events in the Space industry, a new and exciting topic in Astronomy, as well as hear questions answered from listeners.  First in the news, An Amateur Astronomer Discovered Lost NASA Satellite after 12 years. In the year 2000, NASA launched the IMAGE satellite, I-M-A-G-E, that’s the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration satellite. NASA lost contact with IMAGE in 2005, and 12 years later, 47 year old Scott Tilley spotted it while searching for the Zuma spy satellite that was lost after SpaceX’s last launch. The crazy part was, it was still transmitting! Great news for NASA, Awesome discovery for Scott Tilley. Next, Russia offers tourists SpaceWalks for $100 million. Lastly, on  Tuesday February 6th at 1:30pm, SpaceX will launch it’s Falcon Heavy Rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. For those who don’t know, SpaceX is revolutionizing Space Flight by making Space more affordable. They Launch payloads into Space or to the international Space Station, then they land their rocket booster back on earth to reuse. The Falcon Heavy has 3 Rocket boosters with 27 total engines on it and SpaceX has confirmed that they intend to land all 3 back on Earth for reuse.     Where did Space, But Messier get it’s name?

Space, But Messier! Podcast Episode 001   News: 1st SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch / Asimov Secret Payload Trump’s Budget Request for NASA 2019   Topic: Why Space?   Recording Date: Thursday, February 15, 2018 Publish Date: Thursday March 1st, 2018 News: SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch On February 6th, SpaceX launched their Falcon Heavy Rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on a course for Mars. The Falcon Heavy Rocket, complete with 27 rocket engines, lifted a Tesla Roadster into space, which is now on a journey to orbit the Sun forever. Better yet, reports recently surfaced of another secret payload aboard the Tesla, not the Hot Wheels model of the Tesla roadster (for which it’s price is skyrocketing on ebay)but, a library. Not your ordinary Library, but one that can withstand millions of years in an environment like space. It’s called the Arch. It’s like a CD, but it’s a small disc of quartz crystal, not much larger than a coin, built for long-term data archiving and has the ability to hold troves of information, like up to 7,000 Blu-ray discs. This specific Arch was loaded with Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy   ... But why? If you’ve read Foundation, the first novel, you’ll know that this was exactly the goal of mathematicians in the Galactic Empire, to compile all knowledge that Humans have accumulated until then, and store it in libraries across the galaxy before a predicted threat could destroy it all in the next 500 years. The Arch’s co-founder says to "Think of it as a ring of knowledge around the Sun. This is only the first step of an epic human project to curate, encode, and distribute our data across the Solar System, and beyond."   The Trump Administration’s 2019 Budget Request The Trump Administration has done it again… literally. The White House released its budget request for Fiscal Year 2019 and it looks a lot like last years. Disclaimer: Before you hear what was published, know that the budget still needs to be approved by Congress, so these are not final decisions.   Areas that stayed funded were: Mars 2020 Lander Europa Clipper SLS Rocket Orion Capsule (both sum to 3.7 billion)   Areas to lose some funding: The Environmental Protection Agency Centers for Disease Control National Science Foundation   Areas to be completely defunded: 5 Earth science missions, all meant to measure the planet’s climate WFIRST - Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope, the mission that was voted into development by American astronomers NASA’s Office of Education - This office centralizes NASA education effort, including the distribution of grants to schools, Universities, and museums. Includes programs such as the NASA’s Community College Aerospace Program that I participated in 2 years ago.   We will do our best to keep you updated in this area, so stay tuned.   Topic: Why Space? Why do we as humans have this desire to explore and discover?   NASA “Humanity's interest in the heavens has been universal and enduring. Humans are driven to explore the unknown, discover new worlds, push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits, and then push further. The intangible desire to explore and challenge the boundaries of what we know and where we have been has provided benefits to our society for centuries.”   Cosmos - Carl Sagan “Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.”   Elon Musk “Life has to be more about solving problems, if life is all about solving problems, why get up in the morning? There have to be things that inspire you, that make you proud of being a member of humanity. We need more of those things. Space Exploration is the greatest adventure that you could ever embark upon.”   Stephen Hawking (not a quote) One of our greatest gifts, and that of Albert Einstein, is imagination. With today’s technology, humanity’s knowledge, and our imagination, we can explore space and time in our own minds, wherever we are. But the universe is a violent place, stars engulf planets, asteroids hurdles at hundreds of miles per seconds, but we should venture out because the laws of physics guarantee that it will eventually happen to us. However, we already know of a advanced civilization for a tendency to destroy species, ecosystems, atmospheres, perhaps entire planets and it happens to live on earth. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. We are also explorers by nature. Whenever we make great leaps like landing on the moon, we elevate humanity, bring people and nations together, usher in new discoveries and new technologies. Voyager launched in 1977 at 11 miles/second, it would take 70,000 years to reach nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, 25 trillion miles. Projects like Starshot could reach Alpha Centauri in 20 years.   Me - We explore because we learn more about who we are. Remaining where we are is comfortable, but growth and greatness is only obtained through trial and adversity. Putting yourself through something greater than anything you have endured before. Exploration promises that. Exploration progresses our species and marks it with greatness.   I cannot explain this, but humans simply have a deep-seeded desire to be great and to achieve what no man has before. That, mixed with the the imagination of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, Carl Sagan, Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, George Lucas, creator of Star Wars; everything we have seen or read that makes the promise of space real and attainable feeds our curiosity and transforms it into action.   Jenna, that is why we go to space.   Why is Space good for us?   Inspires youth   Informs humanity Studying planets like Venus give us a glimpse of what our planet would turn into if we lost control of our Climate. Venus is currently in what we call a Runaway greenhouse effect, a terribly inhabitable world, but one that mirrors what Earth will arrive at if we continue at our current rate.   It brings us new technologies that help humanity. We call these Spinoffs and we’ve improved ambulances, depression, diagnosing cancer, flight safety, increasing farming yields, you name it. Keep an eye out for an entire episode dedicated to this.   International Cooperation   Long Term Survival                     Space is humbling. Looking beyond and realizing how small we are is good for humanity as a whole. Carl Sagan was instrumental in helping us realize this.   Outro CTA   If you enjoyed this podcast, and if you like free stuff, then please support us by subscribing, rating, and reviewing our podcast.   How?   First, click on the Library tab of your Apple Podcast app, then click “Shows” at the top.   Click on Space, But Messier!   Then, scroll to the bottom to the Ratings and Reviews Section and rather than tapping to rate it immediately, click the “Write a review” link at the bottom.   We really want to hear what you want to hear about, what you think about the show, and you’ll be put in the running to win a Space, But Messier!
