Podcasts about Google Lunar X Prize

In this episode Peter Garretson has a discussion with former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. They delve into the strategic importance of space to our economy and security and counter-space threats. They review how Bridenstine got into space via the Rocket Racing League, how his interests in promoting commercial space resulted in his introducing the Space Renaissance Act while in Congress. The two discuss the big ideas for Cislunar contained in his 2016 policy speech, This is Our Sputnik Moment. They cover how he moved ideas from the Google Lunar XPrize to create the NASA CLPS program. They address the creation of Artemis Program goals for a sustainable presence on the Moon and on the progress of Planetary Defense. They discuss the DIME (Diplomatic Informational Military Economic) theory of national power, and the roles that NASA, the commercial sector, and the Space Force play, including the creation of an economic and industrial base to win economic and strategic competition in the space domain. Additionally, they assess the naval-like role for the United States Space Force. They conclude talking about the informational and public diplomacy aspect of spacepower, how PRC initiatives in Lunar infrastructure, space nuclear power, and space solar power satellites and demos, and the need for the US to continue to reach for big audacious projects which impress the world.

Con la nave espacial más económica y la más pequeña y liviana que ha logrado ser llevada a misiones en el espacio, Israel, logró llegar por primera vez a la luna. El 22 de febrero de 2019, despegó la nave “Berishit 1”, para recorrer más de 6 millones de kilómetros de trayectoria para finalmente alunizar en el mes de abril de ese año. Este logro para Israel fue posible, gracias a la organización privada sin ánimo de lucro “SpaceIL”, una compañía israelí creada en 2011, por la iniciativa de tres ingenieros:  Yariv Bash, Kafir Demari y Jonathan Weintraud, quienes se animaron a concursar en el programa generado por Google Lunar Xprize. Para culminar el proyecto, lograron financiarse a través de donativos y por sus trabajadores y voluntarios. Luego de 8 años y medio de trabajo, lograron posicionar a Israel como el séptimo país en llegar a la luna. En diciembre 2020 SpaceIL, inició el nuevo proyecto: “Berishit 2”, la versión mejorada resultante del estudio que arrojó la primera experiencia. Este nuevo proyecto, consistirá en una matriz de 3 naves: Una nave nodriza que orbitará la luna durante varios años y dos módulos que alunizarian en lugares diferentes. Como dato revolucionario “Berishit 2” transportará semillas y plantas en estado inactivo seco, para ser despertadas en la luna; La misión es cultivar plantas en condiciones lunares como una apuesta para abastecer de alimentos, medicinas y oxígeno a los futuros astronautas que visiten la luna. Un futuro muy cercano, ya que para los científicos israelíes de la organización “SpaceIL”, el despegue será en el año 2025.

For this week’s episode we are excited to bring you a conversation between our own CEO Anousheh Ansari and the Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of Space IL Kfir Damari. Three engineers walk into a bar. On this day two years ago their team’s lander ‘Beresheet’ made its descent to the surface of the moon after a 48 day journey. What happened next didn’t exactly follow the playbook....Established in 2011, Space IL competed in the Google Lunar XPRIZE and won the $1 Million Dollar ‘Moon Shot’ award for it’s successful entry into lunar orbit and for its attempt to land on the lunar surface – both of which were “firsts” for a privately-funded entity, marking a new era in space exploration.To celebrate the second anniversary join Anousheh and Kfir as they discuss the prize, overcoming adversity and its surprise conclusion whilst diving deep into the future of this audacious space program and it’s real impact on the future of space travel.

In dieser Episode beschäftigen wir uns mit den größeren "Preisausschreiben" rund um den Weltraum. Das reicht von den Wurzeln beim Orteig-Prize, als es "damals" nur Luft- und keine Raumfahrt gab, über den (offiziell) gescheiterten Google Lunar X Prize in jüngerer Vergangenheit und #DearMoon als Vision der Zukunft. Ihr hört den Elontime Podcast: Schön, dass ihr eingeschaltet habt!

For our October Episode, we invited Yonatan Winetraub, Co-Founder of SpaceIL - an Israli non profit organization established to participate in the Google Lunar XPrize contest in 2011 which launched the very first privately funded Moon Mission with its Lunar Lander Beresheet. The spacecraft made Israel the 7th country to ever accomplish to enter an orbit around the moon. Join us in an inspiring conversation about the founding story of SpaceIL and how it fascinated a whole generation of kids in Israel, the different design phases of the Lunar Lander, the SpaceIL team structure, the exceptional funding situation, Yonatans role in the Beresheet development, technical challenges during the development stages, an indication on upcoming plans of the company and of course mind-boggling and nerve-racking insights on the last few moments of the mission in April 2019 before the spacecraft collided with the lunar surface while attempting to land on the moon. Despite all that, SpaceIL's Beresheet mission is the closest a private entity has come so far to landing on the lunar surface, it provided valuable information and learning experiences for future private missions to the moon and above all, inspired a whole generation of kids in Israel and NewSpace companies around the world. Lastly, to put it in Yonatan Winetraubs words “if you crashed a pa rty, you still had a good time”.

Why countries and companies in Central Europe should care about space exploration? What could and should be done to kickstart massive space exploration? How we could all participate? Let's explore these topics with our special guest, Dr. Tibor Pacher, Founder & CEO of Puli Space Technologies Ltd., a space technology company based in Budapest, Hungary. Tibor, trained as a PhD physicist (Budapest, Heidelberg), has a 10-years academic career, a solid background in management and financial accounting consultancy (15+ years), and conducted many projects in 18 countries on 4 continents. He participated in ESA’s Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) mission (ISOPHOT instrument), and created "MiniSpaceWorld - Moon", a model railroad style installation in the Futura Science Center in his home town in Hungary. Since the foundation of Team Puli in 2010 to participate in the Google Lunar XPRIZE, he is working relentlessly on Hungary's first lunar mission. His personal goals tied to New Space and Moon Village are to inspire people all over the world to look at the Moon differently and to show that everyone can participate in cutting-edge engineering and science. The moderator of the discussion is Adam Gala, one of the organizators & founders of a Slovak space industry conference VytahConf.

In this installment of the Future Grind podcast host Ryan O'Shea discusses the future of space robotics with John Thornton, CEO of Astrobotic. Astrobotic is a space robotics company that seeks to make space accessible to the world by using their lunar landers to deliver payloads for companies, governments, universities, and individuals. Originally spun out of Carnegie Mellon University in 2007 by robotics pioneer Red Whittaker, Astrobotic is creating affordable planetary access to spark a new era of exploration, science, tourism, and resource utilization. While they haven't yet launched their lunar landers, Astrobotic technology is currently aboard the International Space Station. They discuss Astrobotic's early success in the Google Lunar XPRIZE, the future of space robotics and human spaceflight, and more. And we have a special announcement - we plan to send this episode of the Future Grind podcast to the Moon on board Astrobotic's first mission, and we wanted to provide you an opportunity to fly alongside us by sending your own digital files and photos to Moon!

Ein Berliner Start-Up will so hoch hinaus wie kaum ein anderes: Bis zum Mond. Doch die Gründer ahnen noch nicht, worauf sie sich da einlassen. Ihr Abenteuer beginnt in einem Keller - mit einer vermeintlichen Spam-Mail. Von Felix Schledde.

From Algeria to Vietnam, there are 72 countries with some sort of space programme. And the new space race involves a number of private companies too, that are becoming increasingly crucial to national missions. In the third episode of To the moon and beyond, we find out who some of the key players are in this new space race, what they are competing for and what winning looks like. Space exploration has long been driven by competition. As we heard in the first episode of this podcast series, the success of NASA’s Apollo missions to the moon was driven by the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union. After the US had won this space race, they soon stopped sending manned missions to the moon because of the cost and the risks involved. But, for all the similarities with 50 years ago, John Horack, who holds the Neil Armstrong chair in aerospace policy at Ohio State University in the US, says today is very different. There are still significant national prestige and pride factors associated with spaceflight. But there are many many things going on in space that have absolutely nothing to do with national prestige. They’re about economics. They’re about philanthropic activities, they’re about testing new business models. So it’s less of a race and more of an explosion. MORE ON THE MOON AND BEYOND Join us as we delve into the last 50 years of space exploration and the 50 years to come. From Neil Armstrong’s historic first step onto the lunar surface to present-day plans to use the moon as a launchpad to Mars, hear from academic experts who’ve dedicated their lives to studying the wonders of space. Still, only three countries have successfully sent astronauts into space: Russia, the US and China. And one of the most exciting developments in space exploration, which took place earlier this year, was China’s successful Chang’e 4 mission. In January 2019, Chang’e 4 made a soft landing on the mysterious far side of the moon – the first time this has been done. Yang Gao, professor of space autonomous systems at the University of Surrey, tells us why this was a remarkable feat of engineering. She also explains some of China’s plans to conduct scientific research on this south side of the moon – where there is evidence of an abundance of hydrogen and water ice. These are really very exciting for us because those resources can potentially provide in the future the life support for human habitation or long-term existence on the moon, instead of us transporting those resources from Earth. China’s success seems to have put rocket boosters under the US government’s space plans. Donald Trump’s administration has talked a lot about increasing NASA’s budget in order to send a manned mission to the moon in the next five years, looking to use it as a base for exploring Mars and beyond. As well as new countries getting involved in space, the explosion of space activity that’s taken place in recent years has come from a number of commercial players entering the fray. The world’s first space tourist was an American billionaire called Dennis Tito who paid US$20m for an eight-day trip to the International Space Station in 2001. But the space tourism industry is still struggling to get off the ground. We talk to Louis Brennan, a business professor at Trinity College Dublin who researches space businesses, about whether the industry will ever take off. If you imagine civil aviation and the way civil aviation evolved from being one which very few people partook in to one in which it became an activity engaged in by the masses. If space were to evolve in a similar way, space travel, then one could envisage these companies becoming quite profitable. Read more: How Luxembourg is positioning itself to be the centre of space business It’s not just tourism, though. There are myriad opportunities to make money through space now. Brennan talks us through the business models of Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Blue Origin, which was founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. Both are successfully reducing the costs of space travel by developing reusable rockets. And riding on their coat tails are a number of other new and innovative companies. So for all the talk of a new space race, today’s competition doesn’t to be a zero sum game where some groups win and others lose. From scientific projects to business endeavours, we find out how different countries and businesses are collaborating to push the boundaries of human discovery.

Hi, I’m Marc Boucher and this is the SpaceQ podcast. Welcome to the third and final episode of our three part Winter Series. Anyone familiar with the XPrize, and in particular the ANSARI and Google Lunar XPrize’s, will be familiar with today’s speaker. In this recent Talks at Google recorded on December 11 , 2018, the speaker is Peter Diamandis who discussed Exploring Exponential Technologies. While the talk itself is not targeted specifically at the space community, it does discuss technologies related to space. The broader ideas discussed are useful for anyone interested in innovation. Diamandis spends about 15 minutes talking to the audience before doing a fireside chat with Jack Hidary, Director of AI and Quantum at X, X being formerly known as Google X. For those who are not familiar with Peter Diamandis, he is the Founder and Executive Chairman of the XPrize Foundation, the world's leading large-scale incentive competition that produced, among others, the ANSARI XPrize which directly led to the founding of Virgin Galactic, Virgin Orbit, the Spaceship Company and many other companies. He is also the Executive Founder of Singularity University, a graduate-level Silicon Valley institution that counsels on growing technologies and also a co-Founder of BOLD Capital Partners, a venture fund with $250M investing in exponential technologies. An academic, entrepreneur, and an author, Diamandis holds a degree in Molecular Genetics and Aerospace Engineering from MIT and a Medical Degree from Harvard Medical School. He has started over 20 companies in the areas of longevity, space, venture capital and education and has published two books, "Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think" and "BOLD: How to go Big, Create Wealth & Impact the World.” Listen in…

De Google Lunar X-Prize was een ruimteprijs die je kon winnen als je eventjes met je eigen raket op de Maan was geland, en daar wat rondjes had gereden. Helaas is deze prijs nu gecancelled, maar er is desalniettemin veel over te zeggen. Een terugblik en een in-memoriam.

We startup founders and investors like to talk about “moonshots”. It points out startups that have huge dreams, those that are solving hard problems, and those that will actually change the world if they succeed. Usually, the term moonshot is used metaphorically, but today I’d like to introduce you to a literal moonshot. Takeshi Hakamada, founder and CEO of ispace, plans on landing commercial payloads on the moon in the next two years. Ispace is in the process of developing lunar landers and lunar rovers, and they plan on using the increasingly inexpensive commercial launch companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin to send them to the moon. Ispace has secured a partnership with Japan’s space agency, and they have attracted more than $90 million in investment. It’s a great conversation and I think you’ll really enjoy it. Show Notes Why Japan's space program is being privatized How a lunar lander can be commercially viable by 2020 An overview of ispace's first ten lunar missions How much it costs to put one kilogram on the moon What's worth mining on the moon What a lunar economy could look like Why lunar advertising is a possibility Links from the Founder Check out ispace Connect with Takeshi on LinkedIn [shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="7994466"] Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs. I'm Tim Romero and thanks for joining me. “Boys, be ambitious. Be ambitious not for money or selfish aggrandizement, not for that evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for the attainment of all that a man ought to be.” That was a parting advice given in 1867 by William S. Clark to the students of what would become Hokkaido University. While Clark is not widely known in his home country of the United States, both he and the phrase “Boys, be ambitious” are legendary here in Japan. And yet so few Japanese boys or girls, for that matter, really are ambitious, at least in the way that Clark intended it. Of course, many of Japan’s most ambitious boys are girls are the very ones out there starting startups, and today, I’d like to introduce you to the most ambitious Japanese startup in existence. They are a literal moonshot company and they’ve just raised over $90 million to pursue that dream. Takeshi Hakamada, founder and CEO of ispace plans on landing commercial payloads on the moon in the next two years. Now, ispace is not making rockets like SpaceX or Blue Origin, they're creating lunar landers and lunar rovers, and they are making plans for a commercially viable lunar economy. I'll let Takeshi tell you all about it. Oh, but before I do, you should know about the Google Lunar X Prize. This was a global $25 million competition sponsored by Google and open to any companies that could land a rover on the moon and send data back to Earth. Now, no one ended up winning the main prize but Takeshi’s Hakuto project was one of the five companies from around the world that won an intermediate milestone prize. But you know, Takeshi tells that story much better than I can, so let's get right to the interview. [pro_ad_display_adzone id="1404"  info_text="Sponsored by"  font_color="grey" ] [Interview]   Tim: So we're sitting here with Takeshi Hakamada of ispace who is going to commercialize the moon with exploration mining and eventually tourism, so thanks for sitting down with me. Takeshi: Thank you for having interview with me today. Tim: I really appreciate this and I love big dreams, and I think that no company in Japan has bigger dreams than ispace. Takeshi: Really? Tim: Yeah. Well, I mean, you've recently raised $90 million for a literal moonshot. Can you explain what you're planning on doing? Takeshi: We are trying to provide a commercial transportation service to the moon in the next few years. Starting from that service,

Guest Host: Greg Harris This was something I have wanted to write about for quite some time, but every time I started to put down words it just didn't capture the way I felt about this very long journey that was the Google Lunar XPRIZE. It was an up and down journey for sure. Farewell...... Continue Reading →

עמותת SpaceIL הוקמה ב-2011 על ידי שלושה צעירים - יריב בש, כפיר דמרי ויהונתן ויינטראוב - כדי להתמודד בתחרות בינלאומית בשם Google Lunar XPrize: מירוץ להנחתת חללית בלתי מאויישת על הירח. מעבר לבניית החללית שתנחת על הירח, SpaceIL שמה לעצמה למטרה לתרום לחברה הישראלית על ידי קידום החינוך המדעי – טכנולוגי ועידוד החדשנות המדעית בארץ, באמצעות טיפוח מדעני ומהנדסי הדור הבא.בפרק הזה שהוקלט לייב במשרדי במשרדי רשת "עושים היסטוריה" המשפחות והילדים המקסימים שהגיעו לאירוע,הציגו שאלות מעניינות מאוד לצוות SpaceIL. גם ילדי מאזיני עושים היסטוריה ששלחו שאלות מראש.אז מהם התנאים המיוחדים על הירח, האם היו שם פעם חיים והאם יהיו חיים בעתיד? מה השלב בו נמצא כרגע הפרויקט של החללית הישראלית? ומה עוד נשאר לבצע עד לשיגור? והאם האם יש חייזרים בחלל?

Today’s show was recorded at the Canadian Space Society’s annual Space Summit in Ottawa on November 21st. Among the keynote speakers invited by the Canadian Space Society are usually two from outside Canada. I spoke with Dr. Kazuya Yoshida of Tohoku University in Japan. Dr. Yoshida is also a Director and Chief Technology Officer of iSpace, a Japanese New Space startup with ambitions to use the moons resources, water to start, to develop a lunar economic base. iSpace also manages the Japanese Google Lunar X Prize entry, Hakuto. Dr. Yoshida is a robotics expert and has served as the Director of the Centre of Robotics for Extreme and Uncertain Environments at Tohoku University. He has worked for many years on Japanese robotic missions including the asteroid sample return mission Hayabusa. The technology and rovers developed at his lab at Tohoku University have also been used in disaster response. Dr. Yoshida and his colleagues at Tohoku University are also developing what he calls “Cliff Hanger” and “Rock Climber” robotic machines designed for future asteroid exploration and which could also be used on the moon. Dr. Yoshida and his colleagues have developed a rich knowledge base in microsatellite and rover technology development. As you’ll hear, iSpace is looking beyond the Google Lunar X Prize and will announce its first round of equity venture funding in the near future.

Moon Express has raised $45 million(US), built hardware, tested some of it, and gotten the FAA and other government agencies to approve of its first commercial mission to the moon, and in less than a year might have its first spacecraft on the moon. In this episode of the SpaceQ podcast Bob Richards, CEO and co-founder of Moon Express talks about the latest news from the company, including how lunar samples they return could be worth tens of millions, possibly even hundreds of millions. If true, and if Moon Express can return those samples, then an important part of their business plan will have been accomplished and a new commercial frontier will have been opened up. Bob Richards is well known within the space community having been a co-founder of the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space, the Space Generation Foundation, the International Space University and Singularity University.   Before founding Moon Express, Bob was also a founder of Odyssey Moon in 2006, the first registered team in the Google Lunar XPRIZE. Bob’s past experience, including with Odyssey Moon, led him to move to the U.S. to pursue his dream of creating a commercial space company dedicated to opening up the Moon’s resources to benefit humanity. In 2010 Moon Express was created and Bob’s new company entered the Google Lunar XPRIZE and subsequently won $1.25 million in milestone prizes including the $1 million Landing Prize and $250,000 for the Imaging Prize.

Nach der ganzen Marsaufregung gibt es wieder eine mehr oder weniger normale Folge. Frank und Christopher haben viel Feedback bekommen, und setzten sich mit Lob und Kritik an der Sendung auseinander. Die ULA will ihre RD-180 Triebwerke weiter benutzen und SpaceIL bucht als erste Firma einen Flug zum Mond auf einer Falcon9 und rückt näher an den Google Lunar X Prize.

Max Parks joins the weekly Monday night science party to share his experience working at Moon Express, one of many companies around the world competing for the Google Lunar X Prize.  The Lunar X Prize is a 30 million dollar award for the first private company to land a rover on the Moon, have it travel 500 yards, all while live streaming the journey back to viewers on Earth.  Tune in to learn about what the future of space travel will look like, what minerals we will find on the Moon, and the possible future decline of the need of science communicators.  (Hopefully not too soon!)      

It is the nearest and most dominant object in our night sky, and has inspired artists, astronauts and astronomers. But fundamental questions remain about our only natural satellite. Where does the Moon come from? Although humans first walked on the Moon over four decades ago, we still know surprisingly little about the lunar body's origin. Samples returned by the Apollo missions have somewhat confounded scientists' ideas about how the Moon was formed. Its presence is thought to be due to another planet colliding with the early Earth, causing an extraordinary giant impact, and in the process, forming the Moon. But, analysing chemicals in Apollo's rock samples has revealed that the Moon could be much more similar to Earth itself than any potential impactor. Geochemist Professor Alex Halliday of the University of Oxford, and Dr Jeff Andrews-Hanna, Colorado School of Mines – who is analysing the results from Nasa's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) lunar mission – discuss the theories and evidence to-date. Are we Going Back? Settling the question of the Moon's origin seems likely to require more data – which, in turn, requires more missions. BBC Science correspondent Jonathan Amos tells us about the rationale and future prospects for a return to the Moon, including the Google Lunar XPrize. As the Moon's commercial prospects are considered, who controls conservation of our only natural satellite? If commerce is driving a return to the Moon, who owns any resources that may be found in the lunar regolith? Dr Saskia Vermeylen of the Environment Centre at Lancaster University is researching the legality of claiming this extra-terrestrial frontier. (Photo: Presenter Lucie Green. BBC copyright)

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "Yellowstone Animal Exodus" A video with lines of bison and other animals 'fleeing' Yellowstone National Park in the US have raised fears that the supervolcano underneath the park is preparing to erupt, but how much truth — if any — is there to this claim? "Networks Set to Air Live Moon Landing in 2015" The Science Channel and the Discovery Channel will be teaming up to air a live lunar landing, calling it an “Apollo Moment” for the millennial generation. The networks have teamed with Google Lunar XPRIZE, which is a $30 million competition where teams aim to land an unmanned aircraft on the moon by December 31, 2015. Not only will the networks air the actual landing, but they will air a miniseries that will follow these teams throughout their entire process.

On this episode of Talking Space, we discuss the dire state of planetary science at NASA. We look at both an article and a video by Bill Nye of the Planetary Society which lay out what the future of planetary science is, or shall we say isn't. We then mention the winners of the Axe/Lynx Apollo contest who will be going to space, and some interesting demographics about the group. We then talk about one team making a name for themselves in the race for the Google Lunar X Prize called Moon Express. We then take a look at another space podcast which should be added to your regular listening in addition to Talking Space called Omega Tau. On our second trip around the table, we take a look into a private venture aiming for Mars. We then look at the new endeavor which astronaut Mark Kelly is involved in which would brings passengers to near-space in a balloon. We finish off talking about one six-year-old's petition which gives hope for the future of spaceflight and humanity.
