They emphasize the importance of science in addressing societal challenges and the critical need for federal investment to maintain the US's global leadership in science and technology. The discussion highlights the potential short-term, medium-term, and long-term impacts of reduced federal funding for science and stresses the importance of scientific integrity and data-driven policymaking in government.Support the Podcast Today at:donate@napawash.org or 202-347-3190Episode music: Hope by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comFollow us on YouTube for clips and more: @NAPAWASH_YT

Go to a literal warzone to avoid your children, because we are back for our seventh season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going all the way back to 2009's offering in Northern Ireland & Jordan! Over these nine weeks, three guys who go to proper restaurants for their afternoon debriefs/arguments - Logan, Michael & Bindles - will be recapping and looking back at all that happened on a titanic season that people have been asking us to do for years, beginning with the first episode and elimination of Vera. In this episode - Logan gets a very special role to help us celebrate our twenty-fifth Mole season, we explain why we chose this season, the candidates get ranked by age, there's a very Pieter Jan introduction, some of the introductions are very odd, we wonder if the Old Moles actually chose their new compatriot, Bindles picks a banner, Hans feels very old, we find some pot drains we don't hate, Logan tries to guess who the Sneaky Belgian is, Pieter Jan is insensitive, Vera gets an all-timer montage, we look at the WHEEL! OF! BELFAST! for next week, Logan fails to make it all about himself before locking in his first set of suspects and we may have spoiled who the Mole is already. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 2! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though. This episode does feature an appearance by the four previous celebrity Moles, but we do not discuss who they are. This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr. Create your podcast today!

R T Vice and Jonathan Gilchrist watch season 6 episode 12 of Star Trek Deep Space Nine Who Mourns for Morn?

Not long ago, I made the case that it's not too late to buy Bitcoin—even after it crossed the $100,000 mark. Why? Because the nature of the opportunity has changed. When governments and institutions start stockpiling a finite asset, you're no longer just betting on price—you're watching a new system take shape.And interestingly, a very similar story is unfolding not in financial markets, but in orbit.For most of the last century, space was strictly the domain of governments. NASA, the Department of Defense, the Russian and Chinese space agencies—these were the only real players. Private capital didn't have much of a role. That changed with SpaceX.SpaceX didn't just innovate—it obliterated the cost structure. In 2010, it cost about $50,000 to launch a kilogram into orbit. Today, thanks to the reusable Falcon 9, that cost has fallen to under $2,000—and Starship could bring it below $500. These aren't marginal gains. These are cost reductions that unlock entirely new industries.We're now seeing an explosion of opportunity: satellite internet that connects the most remote parts of the globe, smartphones that communicate directly with orbiting satellites, and AI-enhanced imaging tools that monitor everything from crop health to military activity in real time.Last year alone, space startups raised nearly $13 billion in private investment, even in a tighter funding environment. And Morgan Stanley projects the space economy could surpass $1 trillion by 2040—double its current size. Perhaps most surprising of all: over three-quarters of global space revenue today comes from commercial activity, not government programs.This isn't science fiction. It's infrastructure. It's logistics. It's telecom. And yes—it's investable. And that's why we are talking about it on this week's episode of Wealth Formula Podcast.

This small-cap, small-launch provider's revenues will skyrocket during the next decade, while also dramatically reducing its costs due to the reusability of its rockets.Its rocket scientist CEO Peter Beck is a New Zealand gem, not afraid to get his hands dirty and don the hard hat to build bigger rockets and serve more demanding customers. Credibility and long-term relationships are vitally important in the launch industry. Rocket Lab is gaining both…at an accelerating pace.The Solar System is the limit for this disruptor. Rocket Lab is a very high risk investment who faces a myriad of challenges, but is also growing quickly in a massive and mostly unexplored new market. It's time to place another bet on the Final Frontier.

Adam Kotsko is a writer and cultural critic whose work focuses on American pop culture, from “cringe” comedies to our national obsession with sociopathic protagonists. His latest book, Late Star Trek: The Final Frontier in the Franchise Era considers how the Star Trek series has evolved (or devolved) in the political economy of streaming TV and the Marvel-ization of feature filmmaking. In this conversation we talk about how his work on TV sociopaths holds up during the new Trump administration, and the challenges of participating in fan culture within a fracturing and cynical landscape of cultural production.

Space. The Final Frontier. OF CAPITALISM

Late Star Trek: The Final Frontier in the Franchise Era (University of Minnesota Press, 2025) by Dr. Adam Kotsko explores the beloved science fiction franchise's repeated attempts to reinvent itself after the end of its 1990s golden age. Beginning with the prequel series Enterprise, Adam Kotsko analyzes the wealth of content set within Star Trek's sprawling continuity—including authorized books, the three “Kelvin Timeline” films, and the streaming series Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds—along with fan discourse, to reflect on the perils and promise of the franchise as a unique form of storytelling. Significantly including the licensed novels and comic books that fill out the Star Trek universe for its fans, Dr. Kotsko brings the multiple productions of the early twenty-first century together as a unified whole rather than analyzing them in their current stratified view. He argues that the variety of styles and approaches in this tumultuous era of Star Trek history provides the perfect opportunity to reflect on the nature of the franchise storyworlds that now dominate popular culture. By taking the spin-offs and tie-ins seriously as creative attempts to tell a new story within an established universe, Late Star Trek highlights creative triumphs as well as the tendency for franchise faithfulness to get in the way of creating engaging characters and ideas. Arguing forcefully against the prevailing consensus that franchises are a sign of cultural decay, Dr. Kotsko contends that the Star Trek universe exemplifies an approach to storytelling that has been perennial across cultures. Instead, he finds that what limits creativity within franchises is not their reliance on the familiar but their status as modern myths, held not as common cultural heritage but rather owned as corporate intellectual property. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

America didn't just stop at thirteen colonies. As time went on, the nation kept growing, stretching further west, taking in vast new territories, and shaping them into states.

Their names reflect this history—some rooted in Native American languages, others tied to European explorers, and a few even made up along the way. In this final part of the series, we start with West Virginia, a state born out of the Civil War, and make our way to Hawaii, a former kingdom that became the 50th star on the U.S. flag.

They explore the intricacies of Casey Musgraves' 2018 album 'Golden Hour,' sharing both their personal opinions and providing context about the artist's career and album's significance.
