In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones, about the remarkable history behind the Global Positioning System and its ripple effects on technology, secrecy, and innovation. They trace the story from Roger Easton's early work on time navigation and atomic clocks to the 1973 approval of the GPS program, the Cold War's influence on satellite development, and how civilian and military interests shaped its evolution. The conversation also explores selective availability, the Gulf War, and how GPS paved the way for modern mapping tools like Google Maps and Waze, as well as broader questions about information, transparency, and the future of scientific innovation.

Richard Easton explains that the Navy and Air Force each had different ideas for navigation satellites in the 1960s. The Navy wanted mid-Earth orbits with autonomous atomic clocks, while the Air Force preferred ground-controlled repeaters in geostationary orbit. The eventual compromise in 1973 created the modern GPS structure—24 satellites in six constellations—which balanced accuracy, independence, and resilience.Atomic clocks made global navigation possible. Roger Easton's early insight was that improving atomic clock precision would one day enable real-time positioning. The hydrogen maser, developed in 1960, became the breakthrough technology that made GPS feasible. This innovation turned a theoretical idea into a working global system and also advanced timekeeping for scientific and financial applications.Civilian access to GPS was always intended. Contrary to popular belief, GPS wasn't a military secret turned public after the Korean airliner tragedy in 1983. Civilian receivers, such as TI's 4100 model, were already available in 1981. Reagan's 1983 announcement merely reaffirmed an existing policy that GPS would serve both military and civilian users.The Gulf War proved GPS's strategic value. During the 1991 conflict, U.S. and coalition forces used mostly civilian receivers after the Pentagon lifted “selective availability,” which intentionally degraded accuracy. GPS allowed troops to coordinate movement and strikes even during sandstorms, changing modern warfare.Secrecy and innovation were deeply intertwined. Easton recounts how classified projects like GRAB and POPPY—satellites disguised as scientific missions—laid technical groundwork for navigation systems. The crossover between secret defense projects and public science fueled breakthroughs but also obscured credit and understanding.Ending selective availability unleashed global applications. When the distortion feature was turned off in May 2000, GPS accuracy improved instantly, leading to new industries—geocaching, precision agriculture, logistics, and smartphone navigation. This marked GPS's shift from a defense tool to an everyday utility.Innovation's future may rely on decentralization. Reflecting on his father's era and today's landscape, Easton argues that bureaucratic “big science” has grown sluggish. He sees promise in smaller, independent innovators—helped by AI, cheaper satellites, and private space ventures like SpaceX—continuing the cycle of technological transformation that GPS began.

Ars Technica space journalist Eric Berger joins Chuck Todd to unpack the new global race to the moon — and why it’s about power as much as science. With China poised to beat the U.S. back to the lunar surface, NASA’s Artemis program faces both technological and geopolitical pressure. Berger and Todd explore how space has become the next great stage for competition, where the first shots of a future war could be fired — not on Earth, but in orbit. From SpaceX’s dominance and Elon Musk’s influence, to Blue Origin’s lagging efforts and Boeing’s uncertain role, the conversation digs into who will actually shape humanity’s future beyond Earth. They also discuss the growing role of private companies in both space exploration and weather forecasting, how AI is reshaping meteorology, and whether we’ll ever see space-based energy or asteroid mining become viable. It’s a sweeping look at how politics, technology, and ambition are colliding — in a sky that’s getting more crowded by the day.

Massive “No Kings” protests swept across the country this weekend — peaceful, organized, and impossible to ignore. Chuck Todd breaks down what the demonstrations say about growing frustration with Trump’s leadership as his administration faces a government shutdown, soaring insurance costs, and a controversial new military campaign in the Caribbean. As Trump retweets crude AI videos and governs for only half the country, Congress remains silent on legally dubious strikes against Venezuela, an operation critics say has more to do with ousting Maduro than fighting drugs. Todd examines how America’s history of self-interest in Latin America and declining democratic norms at home have converged to create a moment of moral and political reckoning — and why ignoring it might come at a cost. Then, Ars Technica space journalist Eric Berger joins Chuck Todd to unpack the new global race to the moon — and why it’s about power as much as science. With China poised to beat the U.S. back to the lunar surface, NASA’s Artemis program faces both technological and geopolitical pressure. Berger and Todd explore how space has become the next great stage for competition, where the first shots of a future war could be fired — not on Earth, but in orbit. From SpaceX’s dominance and Elon Musk’s influence, to Blue Origin’s lagging efforts and Boeing’s uncertain role, the conversation digs into who will actually shape humanity’s future beyond Earth. They also discuss the growing role of private companies in both space exploration and weather forecasting, how AI is reshaping meteorology, and whether we’ll ever see space-based energy or asteroid mining become viable. It’s a sweeping look at how politics, technology, and ambition are colliding — in a sky that’s getting more crowded by the day. Finally, Chuck Todd hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to recap the history of the Teapot Dome scandal and how it closely mirrors the corruption of the Trump administration, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, and recaps the weekend in college football.

Hur bygger man en rymdraket från grunden? Vad gör man efter tre raka misslyckade uppskjutningar? Och hur känns det att sätta människor i omloppsbana med teknik du själv varit med och tagit fram?I det här avsnittet möter vi Hans Koenigsmann – raketingenjör, systemarkitekt och en av nyckelpersonerna bakom SpaceX:s framgångar. Han var fjärde personen att anställas på bolaget, och var med från första gnistan till första återanvändbara raketen. Hans berättar om det avgörande samtalet från Elon Musk, om hur Falcon-raketerna tog form, och varför rymdindustrin behövde en "kreditkortsmentalitet" för att förändras. Vi får höra hur det var att stå med raketspill på en ö i Stilla havet – och ändå fortsätta bygga, förbättra och försöka igen. Han reflekterar över riskhantering, ledarskap och hur man får tusentals människor att jobba mot samma mål. Och så berättar han varför han själv gärna skulle åka ut i rymden – men kanske inte hela vägen till Mars.Har vi åkt till Mars än? Rymden är ett område fyllt av mysterier och möjligheter. Hur lång tid tar det att åka till Mars? Vad innebär liv i rymden? Hur bygger man en satellit? Genom att utforska dessa frågor får vi en djupare förståelse för den mänskliga kolonisering av Mars som många drömmer om. Vi berör även ämnen som rymdmissioner, NASA:s senaste nyheter och ESA:s roll i den globala rymdstrategin. Har vi åkt till Mars än? görs på Beppo av Rundfunk Media i samarbete med Saab.

"When something is important enough," said Elon Musk, "you do it even if the odds are not in your favor." Musk should know. His company, SpaceX, nearly went bankrupt. SpaceX's purpose is "to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets" and you cannot deny that he's been committed to that purpose. With a healthy dose of humility, Musk even released a really funny "How Not to Land an Orbital" video, because great things are never done successfully at first. But with the right motive, you can't go wrong. In its very short history, SpaceX has successfully lauched and landed (think about that!) 420 Falcon9 reusable boosters that self land. But what about our spritual lives? The most important thing to God the Father is that our motives match his intentions. "Impossible!" you might cry ... but if Jesus commanded it, then it is not only possible, it is within the grasp of everyone. Still - it's not easy.

In this episode of This Week in Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik dive into the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, discussing the mission's highlights, challenges, and historical significance. They also cover recent space news, including Elon Musk's plans to move SpaceX's headquarters to Texas, the Falcon 9 upper stage failure, and the cancellation of NASA's VIPER rover mission. Looking ahead, the hosts speculate on the future of the Artemis program and the political landscape's influence on space exploration. Headlines: - Elon Musk announces plans to move SpaceX's headquarters from California to Texas, citing disagreements with a new state law and his political alignment with Texas. - SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket experiences an upper stage failure during a recent launch, leading to the loss of payload and an investigation by the FAA and NASA. - NASA cancels its VIPER rover mission, which aimed to search for water ice at the Moon's south pole, due to budget constraints and scheduling issues with the Astrobotic Griffin lander. - Lou Dobbs, the co-founder of Space.com, passes away at the age of 78. Apollo 11 55th Anniversary: - Rod Pyle shares his memories of watching the Apollo 11 launch and moon landing as a teenager, highlighting the limited media coverage and resources available at the time. - The hosts discuss the tense moments during the lunar module's descent, including computer alarms, low fuel warnings, and Neil Armstrong's quick thinking to avoid a boulder field. - They recount the challenges faced by the astronauts, such as the difficulty in opening the lunar module's hatch and Buzz Aldrin's ingenious use of a felt-tip pen to reset a broken circuit breaker. - The hosts emphasize the significance of the Apollo 11 mission and argue for July 20th to be recognized as a national holiday. Artemis Program and the Future of Space Exploration: - Rod and Tariq express frustration with the slow progress of the Artemis program compared to the rapid pace of the Apollo missions. - They discuss the potential impact of the upcoming U.S. presidential election on NASA's funding and priorities, particularly in light of the growing competition with China in space. - The hosts highlight the challenges facing SpaceX's Starship as the chosen vehicle for the Artemis program's human landing system, including the need for further testing and the development of a 120-foot elevator to transport astronauts to the lunar surface. - Tariq makes a bold prediction that NASA astronauts will be walking on the Moon by July 20th, 2029, and offers to give Rod his "STar Trek" chair if the prediction doesn't come to pass.

A new James Webb Space Telescope image of two galaxies in a cosmic dance was released for the telescope's two-year anniversary of science operations. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket malfunction resulted in satellites burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and the rocket grounded.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket suffered a second stage engine failure while in orbit, causing a loss of the vehicle entirely. China's iSpace suffered another launch failure resulting in the loss of three satellites. Air Marshal Paul Godfrey of the UK Royal Air Force is joining the US Space Staff as Assistant CSO for Future Concepts and Partnerships, and more.
