The Live Long and Podcast crew continue their journey into Firefly with "Jaynestown" (2002). The crew lands on a planet where Jayne Cobb is unexpectedly revered as a folk hero. As Mal tries to use Jayne's fame to move smuggled goods, Jayne's past catches up with him, leading to a confrontation with his former partner Stitch Hessian and a tragic sacrifice from one of the townspeople.Firefly S1 E7 "Jaynestown" (2002) Episode ReviewFirst Aired: October 18, 2002In-universe year: 2517Date of Podcast: July 20, 2026Firefly Review SeriesTHIS WEEK'S PODCASTERSDave Mader, Kevin Millard, Adam Woodward, Jody Simpson, Heather Narduzzi, Jeff Mader, Jim the CasualLIVE LONG AND PODCAST FOUNDED BYDave Mader and Jaemeel RobinsonA PROUD MEMBER OF THE UNITED FEDERATION OF PODCASTSCheck us out online at https://www.ufpodcasts.com/livelongandpodcastPRODUCERDave MaderSupport us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/LiveLongandPodcastStreaming live on Twitch, Youtube and Facebook:Twitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/livelongandpodcastYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/livelongandpodcastFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/LiveLongAndPodcast"Robo-Western" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Audio version available wherever you get your audio podcasts.Listen to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yIEMJhawSLGAozJAh4EdGListen via Anchor: https://anchor.fm/livelongandpodcast#firefly #startrek #livelongandpodcast #UFP #unitedfederationofpodcasts 0:00 Intro Credit Sequence1:14 Beginning of Podcast22:49 Screenshots and Plotbreakdown1:09:09 Fun Facts1:18:41 Ratings1:24:08 Outro
Dear readers, I've been a sceptic for too long. It's easy to be sceptical as a psychiatrist—the flowers will be lour'd upon you! I've been using Graymatter's Health PRISM EEG-fMRI neurofeedback system for a few years, it's true. There are EEG leads on there. I saw a lot of EEG-related technology in Beijing. It's possible I'm looking at an EEG in this very photo from my hotel room in China, below:But have I been measuring the brain with EEG regularly? Well, no, again! I've been content with my fancy fMRI scans alone, for SAINT, and giant brain healing magnets at set frequencies, like deep TMS with SWIFT.There are even videos of me talking about TMS, like this one below, with friends like Colleen Hanlon from BrainsWay, and heroic patients who chose to speak publicly, too.But one thing I haven't routinely done is measure the brain itself as part of clinical care, as companies like Firefly Neuroscience are making possible. That may need to change, is the outcome in my personal brain as a result of this interview. I speak, at length, with Dave Decaprio, their president and COO.The EVOKE system provides multimodal analysis of brain function, including Quantitative EEG and Event-Related Potentials. From the Firefly website:At Firefly Neuroscience, our technology is built to measure and interpret brain function in a clinically meaningful way. The Evoke™ system combines quantitative EEG (qEEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) to capture both baseline brain activity and cognitive response during structured tasks.This data is analyzed against a proprietary normative database of over 191,000 EEG and ERP sessions, allowing clinicians to evaluate patterns relative to age-matched expectations and track changes over time. The result is a structured, interpretable view of brain function that can be used alongside clinical evaluation to support earlier insight, more informed treatment decisions, and a clearer understanding of patient progress.I haven't used it in clinical practice yet, but Dave makes a compelling case, and at this point I think it's only a matter of time. Brain Medicine, as an emerging specialty, brings change. That change needs to be measured. EEG might be one such tool.I hope you enjoy today's podcast! And thanks to Sharena Rice, PhD, William M. Sauve, MD, along with Dave, for their guest spots.—OwenAnnouncements: * You can Join The Frontier Psychiatrists LIVE at Psych Congress 2026. Get your tickets now!* You can buy a copy of my IRL in print book on Amazon, Inessential Pharmacology. It's got a lot of good reviews, and one “one star” review, which, in the spirit of transparency, I will excerpt for you:The author has taken a collection of drug leaflets from pharmaceutical companies and woven them together with underwhelming lackluster commentary and memes. He intended to create an engaging reading experience, however, this aim should have been clearly stated, should have been made explicitly clear in the book description. He wanted to have fun writing it and wanted readers to have fun reading it. Now, having missed the return window, I find myself stuck with a book that feels more tedious than enjoyable.Don't miss the return window if you hate my work! Good advice for us all.

In this episode of Star Warsologies, we talk to Deana Weibel about her book "The Ultraview Effect" and how to recognize the sense of awe in a galaxy far, far away (as well as our own!). The ultraview effect refers to astronauts who see the depths of space and are awed by the unknown. There may not be much awe of space travel in Star Wars, but there is awe when it comes to the power of the Force. Luke Skywalker's journey in the original trilogy lines up with an astronaut's journey, including him being humbled and coming back to learn more. We also cover Force Ghosts, how awe can become terror, and how religions and the Force may go hand in hand in a galaxy far, far away. And we also talk about Star Trek and Firefly a bit too and how sci-fi and fantasy gives us a sense of awe in our own lives! Show Links: Check out Deana's website for more about her book "The Ultraview Effect: What we can learn from astronauts about awe, humility, and exploring the unknown" and her other projects.

The Live Long and Podcast crew continue their journey into Firefly with "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (2002). After completing a job for a small settlement, Mal learns he has accidentally married a young woman named Saffron. Though she appears innocent and eager to please, Saffron is far more dangerous than she seems, and her betrayal sends Serenity hurtling toward ship scrappers.Firefly S1 E6 "Our Mrs. Reynolds" (2002) Episode ReviewFirst Aired: October 4, 2002In-universe year: 2517Date of Podcast: July 13, 2026Firefly Review SeriesTHIS WEEK'S PODCASTERSDave Mader, Kevin Millard, Adam Woodward, Jody Simpson, Heather Narduzzi, Jeff Mader, Jim "the Casual" NolandLIVE LONG AND PODCAST FOUNDED BYDave Mader and Jaemeel RobinsonA PROUD MEMBER OF THE UNITED FEDERATION OF PODCASTSCheck us out online at https://www.ufpodcasts.com/livelongandpodcastPRODUCERDave MaderSupport us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/LiveLongandPodcastStreaming live on Twitch, Youtube and Facebook:Twitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/livelongandpodcastYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/livelongandpodcastFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/LiveLongAndPodcast"Robo-Western" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Audio version available wherever you get your audio podcasts.Listen to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yIEMJhawSLGAozJAh4EdGListen via Anchor: https://anchor.fm/livelongandpodcast#firefly #startrek #livelongandpodcast #UFP #unitedfederationofpodcasts 0:00 Intro Credit Sequence1:02 Beginning of Podcast23:28 Screenshots and Plotbreakdown1:10:43 Fun Facts1:23:26 Ratings1:31:48 Outro
The Blasters & Blades PodcastComing off the heels of Buffy and Firefly, expectations were massive for Joss Whedon's next television venture. Today, we look back at Dollhouse with a modern lens to see how its terrifying themes of identity, corporate greed, and human exploitation hold up. We dive into the profound existential dread of the series, the incredible "Epitaph" episodes that completely flipped the genre on its head, and why the show's central technology feels even more relevant in our current era of AI and tech ethics. Was Dollhouse simply ahead of its time, or did its heavy themes buckle under network constraints? Grab your chair and tune in. This was a fun interview, so go check it out.Co-Hosts:JR HandleyJana S BrownWe work for free, so if you wanna throw a few pennies our way there is a linked Buy Me A Coffee site where you can do so.

Serenity is the follow-on movie from Joss Whedon's series, Firefly. While the movie had a guaranteed audience, the story suffers because the main protagonist doesn't have a clear object of desire, however, the antagonist's OOD is super clear and it saves the movie. Valerie's exceptional study of the four types of protagonist moves up a notch again, as she explores the ‘lost soul' theory for the anti-hero. - M Submit your query letter and first 10 pages writing sample at storynerd.ca.For access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.To subscribe to Kat's Keynotes (Substack), click here.Watch us on YouTube!
James Hygate, CEO and founder of Firefly, returns to The SAF Podcast for the first time since December 2023 — and a lot has happened. James brings his characteristic blend of technical depth, founder candour, and big-picture ambition to a brilliant wide ranging discussion. James opens with a comprehensive update on Firefly's progress: the selection of Turkish engineering firm Altaca as their HTL technology partner, the securing of a site at an existing refinery in Harwich for the downstream hydrotreating facility, and supply agreements with water companies including Severn Trent and Anglian Water that already cover more feedstock than the first facility needs. He also touches on the significance of the Boeing investment, the Builders Vision backing, and the ongoing Series B round that Firefly hopes to close shortly.James also shares his observations from a recent visit to Shanghai on the pace of Chinese SAF and renewables infrastructure development, the implications of used cooking oil supply being internalised within China, and what lessons — if any — Western developers can draw from "China speed." We also explore the trajectory of the wider SAF industry, James's concerns about policy wobble and its chilling effect on infrastructure capital, and a frank view on whether some SAF projects are gaming mandates rather than genuinely pursuing decarbonisation.Throughout, James returns to the thread that has defined his 20-year career in low carbon fuels: the only thing worth doing is something that can move the needle on climate change. For Firefly, that means wet-waste-to-jet at gigaton scale — and James believes the technology stack to do it is now in place.
The Live Long and Podcast crew continue their journey into Firefly with "Safe" (2002). The episode sees Malcolm Reynolds forced to choose which crew members to save when one is gravely wounded and two others are kidnapped. Simon Tam finds an uneasy haven in a remote village, but River's uncanny perceptions jeopardize the Tams' temporary safety. The episode is the television debut of actor Zac Efron, who appears in flashback as the young Simon Tam.Firefly S1 E5 "Safe" (2002) Episode ReviewFirst Aired: November 8, 2002In-universe year: 2517Date of Podcast: July 6, 2026Firefly Review SeriesTHIS WEEK'S PODCASTERSDave Mader, Kevin Millard, Adam Woodward, Heather Narduzzi, Jeff Mader, Chris "Worldmind" MurphyLIVE LONG AND PODCAST FOUNDED BYDave Mader and Jaemeel RobinsonA PROUD MEMBER OF THE UNITED FEDERATION OF PODCASTSCheck us out online at https://www.ufpodcasts.com/livelongandpodcastPRODUCERDave MaderSupport us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/LiveLongandPodcastStreaming live on Twitch, Youtube and Facebook:Twitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/livelongandpodcastYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/livelongandpodcastFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/LiveLongAndPodcast"Robo-Western" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Audio version available wherever you get your audio podcasts.Listen to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yIEMJhawSLGAozJAh4EdGListen via Anchor: https://anchor.fm/livelongandpodcast#firefly #startrek #livelongandpodcast #UFP #unitedfederationofpodcasts 0:00 Intro Credit Sequence1:01 Beginning of Podcast20:52 Screenshots and Plotbreakdown55:26 Fun Facts1:03:07 Ratings1:06:04 Outro

Step into the glow of summer as we follow the flickering trail of fireflies through folklore, science, and the beloved world of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series. From the enchanted pages of Magic Lessons, The Rules of Magic, Practical Magic, and The Book of Magic, we'll explore how these tiny lantern-bearers illuminate some of the series' most memorable moments and what they symbolize within the Owens family story.Along the way, we dive into the fascinating history and biology of fireflies—how they create their magical light, why their numbers are declining, and the surprising role they play in healthy ecosystems. We also explore centuries of folklore, superstition, and magical traditions surrounding these beloved insects, whose brief summer glow has inspired wonder across cultures for generations. Finally, if you've ever dreamed of turning your own backyard into a firefly sanctuary, we've got you covered. Learn simple ways to create a welcoming habitat through native plants, leaf litter, moisture-rich spaces, reduced light pollution, and a few easy changes that can help these living sparks return to your summer nights. So grab a jar of sweet tea, settle onto the porch, and join us as we celebrate the magic, mystery, and lore of nature's tiniest lanterns.

The boys are back, and nobody came to talk about running. Dominic welcomes Scotty, Danny, and Chris from the Life in Stride podcast for their fourth appearance on TRE, and within minutes the conversation has already covered protein powder side effects, dry needling in uncomfortable places, and Dom's near-date with one of the most famous athletes on the planet.Before things go completely off the rails, Dom shares the story behind his role as a strategic advisor for Attuned—a bioenergetics company whose health scanning technology helped his sister recover from over a decade of chronic illness. From there the group runs through their list of overhyped running products, with Dom going on record as a full Ketone IQ skeptic, and the guys trading takes on cold plunges, Normatec boots, and Firefly devices.The rapid-fire segment produces some of the episode's best moments, including a spontaneous revelation about his DM history with Olympic snowboarder and cultural phenomenon Eileen Gu, in addition to a detailed accounting of what Dom would actually cook for you if you showed up hungry at his door tonight. The episode closes with a lively argument about whether Dom's brother's daily mileage challenge is more impressive than running a 2:34 marathon, the crew announcing plans for a live podcast marathon, and all four sharing genuine closing words about making the most of your days before the summer slips away.Tap into the Life in Stride Special.

Windows 12 is stalled and the real reasons go far beyond software. The conversation unpacks how soaring hardware prices, AI chaos, and market confusion have Microsoft in a holding pattern. Also, Paul finally took a sledgehammer to the subscription services he pays for, and more is on the way. Plus, one of Paul's favorite Markdown editors supports authorship on Windows now and an integrated Search/Outline view on Mac, iPad, and iPad.Windows Week D is here with a preview of July's Patch Tuesday Point-in-time restore is now generally available in Windows 11, sort of Quieter widgets, which is nice! Plus, Screen tint, Windows Update improvements, more Tied to this, sort of, something wonderful is happening to the Windows 11 Field Guide Five new builds, plus some 26H2 news (and still no news about what 26H1 becomes, see below...) Mostly minor fit-and-finish improvements So... what about Windows 12? The history is interesting, and Copilot+ PC was what Paul originally thought Windows 12 would be. But now we're talking agentic capabilities that will handle local/cloud/hybrid orchestration per last week's discussion, and maybe that will be it. We knew that Surface Laptop and Surface Pro would come in 8 GB configurations. But they're available now with just 256 GB of storage and the prices are $950 and $850 and up, respectively.

Science fiction has been part of television since at least the 1950s, when “Lost in Space” and “Star Trek” gave us charmingly quaint visions of what the future could look like. By the dawn of the 21st Century, technology had caught up to creators' visions, leading to a Golden Age of genre television. Series celebrated by critics and embraced by audiences with their mind-blowing imagination and, at their best, critique and comment on the human condition, even as they chronicle society's intersections with technology, time, and space. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Sci-Fi Television Series from 2000 to 2025.Shows discussed: “The Expanse,” “Firefly,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Star Wars: The Mandalorian,” “The X-Files,” “Star Wars: Andor,” “Westworld,” “Star Trek: Voyager,” “Doctor Who,” “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” “Black Mirror,” “Orphan Black,” “Stargate SG-1,” “3 Body Problem,” “Foundation,” “Fringe”Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Kara Austin, Victor Manibo, and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 of the most influential science-fiction TV series of the past 25 years.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 21st Century sci-fi shows that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Four stories today — all connected to your NIO positionand the broader Chinese EV investment thesis.William Li spoke at the China Auto Chongqing Summit onJune 13th and said something most CEOs would never saypublicly. China's domestic auto retail sales declined19.5% year over year in the first five months of 2026.Early June accelerated to down 22%. The full year couldfall 15-20%. He called this the most brutal competitiveenvironment he's faced since entering the industry.Then he reaffirmed NIO will grow 40-50% this year anyway.That's not a contradiction. China's passenger vehicleownership has reached 370 million units — the market hasshifted from growth to replacement demand. Saturatedmarkets reward brands with real differentiation andpunish brands that competed on price alone. NIO spent68.8 billion yuan on R&D and 20 billion yuan on chargingand battery swap infrastructure. The ES8 is number onelarge SUV in China for six consecutive months. The ES9has a 17-week queue. The Firefly outsells Mini and Smartcombined. NIO designed itself for this exact moment.From the Chinese internet — are American automakersisolating themselves from the world? Chinese EVs face102.5% tariffs in the US but are winning Canada, Europe,Southeast Asia, and the Middle East simultaneously.China and Canada just agreed to allow 49,000 Chinesevehicles in at reduced tariffs. The US consumer is beingpriced out of the world's most competitively priced EVs.The security arguments are real — but so is the marketoutcome. US auto faces higher costs and fewer globalopportunities while Chinese brands expand everywhere else.The Pentagon added NIO to its Chinese military companieslist on June 9th. NIO called it unjustified and threatenedlegal action. This is not a sanctions list and does notrestrict trading of NIO securities. Some institutionalmandates force selling — that's real but finite pressure.18 analysts have buy ratings. The average price targetimplies 27% upside. NIO's AGM is June 24th — nine daysfrom now. That's the meeting that actually matters.China's NEV penetration rate hit 62.9% in May. Purebattery electric vehicles were 42.2% of all new car sales.William Li said the transition is irreversible. Six outof ten new cars sold in China are electric or hybrid.That's not a trend anymore. That's a completed transition.NIO is built for the world that already exists.

The balance of power among China's leading EV makers may be shifting.This week on China EVs & More, Tu Le and Lei Xing break down a remarkable set of earnings results that reveal very different trajectories for China's EV leaders.NIO appears to be emerging from one of the most challenging periods in its history, delivering consecutive profitable quarters while building momentum behind the ES9, ONVO, and Firefly brands.Meanwhile, Li Auto finds itself in an unfamiliar position.

On this week's episode of Valley of Depth, our first recorded in person, we sit down with Jason Kim, CEO of Firefly Aerospace, in the company's historic Blue Ghost mission control room in Cedar Park, Texas — the same room where 60 engineers watched their lander touch down at one meter per second last year. From there, the conversation opens into how Jason actually thinks: about the Moon, about scale, and about being a "mission CEO" rather than a hardware or software one. Firefly went public in 2025, acquired defense software company SciTec within months, and now sits inside Golden Dome. Jason argues the market still prices the company as a pure launch player while he's building an end-to-end stack he puts in the same conversation as Anduril and Palantir. We cover: The last 30 seconds of the Blue Ghost Mission 1 landing, from inside the room where it happened Why Blue Ghost Mission 2 is harder: a three-spacecraft stack and the first US far-side landing Whether small launch makes money, and why Alpha is both a profit center and a strategic asset The Eclipse medium-lift bet, the Northrop partnership, and why Starship doesn't make everyone else obsolete Why the Moon matters, and how big the commercial lunar economy actually gets Why a hardware CEO bought a software company The valuation gap with Rocket Lab and what he believes the market hasn't priced in His honest read on SpaceX, China, the new-launch shakeout, and the path to a $100 billion company • Chapters • 00:00 - Trailer 00:53 – Blue Ghost Mission 1 04:41 – The bar for success for Blue Ghost Mission 1 07:16 – What is the new objective in Blue Ghost Mission 2? 11:49 – Jason coming into Firefly leadership 16:35 – Day 1 as Firefly CEO 18:53 – AE Industrial and how private equity informs Jason's mindset 21:02 – Product stack 22:34 – Demand signal from responsive launch 24:21 – Alpha and small launch economics 26:20 – Firefly's Eclipse 28:09 – How Starship will impact the launch market 29:41 – Viability of commercial launches 32:15 – Blue Ghost x Eclipse? 33:51 – Why does the Moon matter? 36:02 – Jason's commercial lunar economy predictions 38:02 – The future of Blue Ghost's missions 39:52 – Why Jason acquired Sitec 44:30 – Sitec in the Space Force's Golden Dome contracts 47:16 – Why shift Firefly to being a public company? 49:04 – How does Jason address stock price fluctuation internally? 50:49 – Do the public markets understand the space economy? 52:57 – Is Firefly just a launch company? 55:25 – What part of Firefly has the market not priced in yet? 56:50 – Firefly's strategy in a world where lift becomes effectively free 58:49 – Which launch companies will survive? 59:56 – The China question 1:00:33 – Is there a company out there that doesn't get enough attention? 1:01:53 – How Firefly is thinking about M&As 1:04:25 – The path to Firefly hitting a $100B valuation 1:05:25 – Jason Kim, the person 1:07:07 – Who does Jason call for advice? 1:07:57 – What Jason would tell 25-year-old Jason 1:11:58 – What Jason does for fun when not working on space • Show notes • Firefly's' website — https://fireflyspace.com/ Jason's' socials — https://x.com/Jason_Lil_Kim/ Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

NASA's Moon Base plans just got a major update — and then Blue Origin had a serious New Glenn pad anomaly at LC-36 that could shake up the timeline for upcoming lunar missions. In this episode of Today In Space, we break down NASA's latest Moon Base update, including new awards for lunar landers, terrain vehicles, lunar drones, and the next phase of Artemis-related infrastructure. We also react to the New Glenn pad anomaly during static-fire preparations, what it could mean for Blue Origin, the Artemis architecture, and the broader push to build a permanent human presence on the Moon. Thankfully, no one was harmed — and the payload was not onboard — but this is still a major engineering and programmatic setback. Space is demanding, and moments like this remind us just how much risk, testing, failure analysis, and teamwork go into building the future of exploration. We'll also look at the path forward: root cause analysis, potential pad repairs, whether other launch providers could step in, and how NASA's lunar campaign may adapt from here. In this episode: NASA Moon Base update Blue Origin New Glenn pad anomaly at LC-36 What this means for Artemis and lunar missions Blue Moon, lunar landers, rovers, and Moon Base infrastructure Astrolab, Lunar Outpost, Firefly, and Moonfall lunar drones Why engineering failures are part of building reliable space systems The future of commercial lunar exploration Watch the full NASA Moon Base update here: https://youtube.com/live/GrsWp798Fvg?feature=share Follow Today In Space for grounded space science, exploration updates, and honest conversations about the future of humanity beyond Earth.

Bob Zimmerman, # 4594, May 26, 2026Quick Summary:This Space Show program focused on NASA's announcement of a restructuring plan for the Artemis lunar program led by Isaacman, which includes multiple unmanned lunar lander missions and the establishment of a lunar base by 2028. Bob detailed how NASA is relying heavily on private companies rather than building hardware internally, with contracts awarded to Blue Origin, Astrobotic, Intuitive Machines, and Firefly for missions starting as early as late 2023. The discussion covered the competitive landscape of commercial space stations, with VAST, Starlab, and Axiom leading the market, while Sierra Space's Orbital Reef partnership with Blue Origin appears to be struggling. The conversation also addressed SpaceX's Starship development progress, with participants debating whether SpaceX would attempt a double catch of both booster and ship on their single launch tower before building a second tower. The show concluded with a discussion about the political and cultural challenges facing space exploration, with participants weighing optimistic versus pessimistic views about the future of commercial spaceflight and space policy.SummaryBob discussed NASA's recent press conference announcing details of its Artemis lunar exploration program, including contract awards and mission plans. The program involves multiple private companies launching lunar landers and rovers to the South Pole region, with the first three missions already scheduled before the end of 2023. Robert noted that while the program is ambitious with plans for up to 20 launches and 25 landings by 2028, it relies heavily on private sector development rather than NASA-built hardware, with Blue Origin receiving significant contracts including two new awards totaling $188 million.Bob discussed Blue Origin's lunar landing plans, expressing skepticism about their timeline of 20 landings by 2028, particularly given their reliance on Blue Origin and the challenges with their New Glenn rocket. The group examined a map shown during a press conference about a potential lunar base location near Shackleton Crater, with Joseph identifying a similar crater field in the area and Robert noting the lack of specific location details in the presented map. The discussion concluded with speculation that NASA might be deliberately withholding specific location information to protect potential landing sites from competitors, particularly China.NASA's lunar exploration plans were talked about, explaining that missions will focus on scouting and engineering work to prepare for future manned landings and a lunar base. He also revealed that NASA awarded SpaceX additional crew launch contracts through 2030, which he interpreted as effectively ending Boeing's Starliner program due to lack of funding for further development. Joseph clarified that NASA is not obligated to provide additional funding to Boeing until they successfully complete their original cost-fixed contract.Bob focused on the current status of commercial space stations, ranking five active projects and noting that while there are market opportunities for ferrying services, Boeing's Starliner faces challenges due to Boeing's poor management. He explained that Dream Chaser's status remains uncertain, with recent delays and incomplete ground testing raising questions about its viability. Robert also provided an update on the five commercial space stations, ranking them and noting that while some projects like VAST and Starlab show promise, Sierra Space's Orbital Reef partnership with Blue Origin appears to be dormant.He also explained that private space stations will outperform the ISS by allowing commercial research to produce saleable products on Earth, unlike the ISS which is restricted to non-commercial research. He discussed how NASA's historical ban on commercial space operations had damaged the American launch industry, citing the example of pharmaceutical research that was halted after the Challenger accident. The group agreed that private companies will own and operate the new stations while NASA purchases services as a customer, representing a shift toward a more capitalist model in space operations.The group discussed SpaceX's lack of response regarding NASA's lunar program, with our guest explaining that SpaceX is focused on manned missions rather than these specific missions and needs to be careful due to their upcoming IPO. The conversation then shifted to comparing NASA's bureaucratic processes with private space station initiatives, with participants noting how private stations are more flexible and business-friendly compared to the complex requirements of getting experiments on the ISS. Bob explained how top-down bureaucratic systems, like the Soviet model, tend to fail due to lack of competition and innovation, while competitive market systems drive better results.Bob did address the historical shift from government-led to commercial space exploration, highlighting how SpaceX and commercial satellite businesses proved that profit could be made in space despite initial skepticism. He explained how NASA's Mars exploration programs have historically been science-focused rather than colonization-focused but noted a recent shift toward engineering-based lunar exploration with the VIPER lander program. The discussion concluded with updates about ULA's Vulcan rocket program, which is currently grounded due to nozzle failures in Northrop Grumman's solid rocket boosters, though static fire tests suggest potential solutions may be in development.The group discussed ULA's challenges with satellite launches, particularly Amazon's delayed satellite deployment and ULA's dependency on strap-on boosters for their Vulcan rocket. Joseph clarified that the NG-4 mission would be a LEO launch carrying 26 satellites, though the rocket's payload capacity might be limited without boosters. The discussion also covered SpaceX's Starship development progress, with Joseph estimating 3-4 flights this year before a second launch tower becomes available in Q4, and the team debated whether SpaceX would attempt a double catch on their current tower or wait for the new one to recover both booster and ship.The Wisdom Team also discussed Elon Musk's management approach and scheduling practices, with Robert explaining that Musk sets realistic but challenging timelines that engineers can trust. The conversation then shifted to Starlink satellite services, with Bob sharing his positive experience using the service despite minor performance issues during house painting. This part of the discussion concluded with my asking Bob for his guess on the political risks facing space commercialization efforts given current uncertainties and realities in the country today.Bob did discuss his perspective as a historian on current societal challenges, presenting both pessimistic and optimistic views of the future. He compared the current political climate to H.G. Wells' time in 1939 and noted that while there are concerning trends, he remains hopeful about society's resilience and ability to correct course. The discussion touched on concerns about data centers, with both David and Joe sharing local experiences about public opposition to data center development, which Bob attributed partly to ignorance and manufactured comments on social media.The team discussed opposition to data center construction, with Joe explaining that while some opposition may be driven by Chinese influence, much of it stems from emotional responses and partisanship rather than rational concerns. Bob emphasized the need for more thoughtful and rational discourse about data centers, distinguishing between legitimate questions about their impact and emotional reactions. Joe clarified that modern data centers use less water than older designs, but the rapid scale of proposed construction (80 gigawatts) far exceeds current grid capacity (40 gigawatts annually), making many planned projects unlikely to be built. Bob concluded that the opposition to data centers on Earth could actually benefit the space industry by driving demand for orbital data centers, which would help develop the rocket industry.The group went on to talk about water requirements for data centers, with Ajay explaining that while traditional nuclear reactors require significant water for cooling, molten salt reactors would not need water for this purpose. The conversation then shifted to political concerns about constitutional issues, with John Hunt warning about potential constitutional collapse and Bob responding with a balanced historical perspective. The conversation ended with technical discussions about SpaceX's Starlink V3 satellites, including their weight and bandwidth capabilities compared to previous versions.Bob Zimmerman, # 4594, May 26, 2026Quick Summary:This Space Show program focused on NASA's announcement of a restructuring plan for the Artemis lunar program led by Isaacman, which includes multiple unmanned lunar lander missions and the establishment of a lunar base by 2028.

In an intriguing twist, they explore a fan theory that has circulated among Murder She Wrote enthusiasts, which posits a surprising connection between Jessica Fletcher and some of the show's most infamous villains. This theory not only adds layers to the character of Fletcher but also invites listeners to reconsider the narrative structure of the series and the clever writing that kept audiences guessing until the very end. The guys share their personal thoughts on this theory, sparking a lively debate about the nature of storytelling in mystery shows and how fan interpretations can breathe new life into classic narratives.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy
Antonio Reynoso, Claire Valdez, and Julie Won are all running in the June 23 Democratic primary for New York's 7th congressional district. That's the seat that opened up when veteran Democratic politician Nydia Velazquez announced she was retiring. It's a traditionally progressive district, covering neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens. This isn't just about New York, though. Federal funding is incredibly important to local transportation, and that money is in danger. But a new generation of candidates across the country is prioritizing the issues that matter to us at The War on Cars.

Just as it is with road safety, so much of how Americans talk about health pushes the responsibility for eating right and exercising onto the individual, ignoring the many structural barriers that prevent people from making "good" choices. Through her newsletter, She's a Beast, and her bestselling book A Physical Education: How I Escaped Diet Culture and Gained the Power of Lifting, Casey Johnston cuts through the noise, making connections across various disciplines to help people rethink their notions about health, exercise and body positivity. Casey joins The War on Cars to talk about how "at the scale of daily life, cars should be systematically discouraged, in order to even begin to contend with the deaths and health decline from a lack of physical activity." ***Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive exclusive access to ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, Discord access, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!*** Order our new book, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile, out now from Thesis, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
