[00:30] Neo-Nazis Rise to Power in German Elections (28 minutes) Local elections in Germany have rocked the world. The far-right Alternative für Deutschland's massive win in the state of Saxony-Anhault has major news outlets questioning if democracy can survive in Germany. But is the AfD really as bad as they say? And what does the Bible say is next for Germany? [30:30] A New Window to the Universe (25 minutes) NASA launched an exciting new telescope last week. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will soon deluge us with spectacular images from space. What is the connection between these pictures and your future?

From September 10, 2007. Hosted by: Fraser Cain (@frasercain) and Dr. Pamela L. Gay (@CosmoQuest) This is a very different episode of Astronomy Cast. As we mentioned last week, Pamela recently attended the Dragon*Con science fiction convention in Atlanta, Georgia. While she was there, she participated in a special live edition of Astronomy Cast with special guest Dr. Kevin Frazier. Kevin is a NASA scientist, and the science consultant for the TV shows Battlestar Galactica and Eureka. He and Pamela work through physics and astronomy in popular science fiction. What they get right, and what they get wrong... so very wrong.   Role of Science Consultants in Media: Dr. Grazier shares insights into his work as a science consultant, emphasizing the importance of scientific accuracy in storytelling and how it enhances narrative credibility. Analysis of Battlestar Galactica and Eureka: The conversation explores specific examples from these series, highlighting where scientific principles are accurately depicted and where creative liberties are taken. Common Misconceptions in Sci-Fi: They address prevalent scientific inaccuracies in science fiction, such as sound in space and unrealistic space travel mechanics, and discuss their impact on public understanding of science. Balancing Science and Storytelling: The discussion delves into the challenges writers face in integrating complex scientific concepts into engaging narratives without overwhelming the audience. Audience Interaction: Recorded live at Dragon*Con, the episode features questions from the audience, providing additional perspectives and inquiries about science in media.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

What actually happens when a federal contract gets cancelled midstream, and how a government contracting consultant turned a $300,000 NEH contract cancellation into a paid settlement, is the center of this episode. A consultant walks through the real operational side of running a GovCon consulting practice: the CRM systems that keep client opportunities from falling through the cracks, how a LinkedIn presence turns into signed clients, and what happens when an agency contract gets cancelled for convenience mid-project. If you're building or running a consulting practice in federal contracting, this is what the actual week looks like. Key points discussed: Why a CRM or shared tracking system (Airtable, Asana, Notion, or even a shared spreadsheet) is the difference between a found opportunity and a missed deadline How a weekly client report cadence (sent Monday or Friday depending on client activity) keeps clients engaged without constant check-ins Why LinkedIn's algorithm now favors long-form posts and articles over simple updates, and how consistent posting built a "thought leader" reputation that led directly to a signed client A real case: a $300,000 NEH contract cancelled for convenience after the agency came under budget pressure, and how the resulting settlement negotiation recovered the full outstanding balance Why a contract cancelled for convenience still counts as valid past performance and stays on your capability statement at full award value Where to actually find agency procurement forecasts, including the NASA forecast tool and the Army Corps of Engineers construction forecast, and why asking a contracting office directly for their forecast link is a strong first-contact question CHAPTERS 0:00 - Why every consultant needs a CRM system 1:10 - Airtable, Asana, and Notion compared for client tracking 2:05 - Setting a weekly client reporting cadence 3:15 - Getting organized before you try to scale 4:20 - Why LinkedIn is a business tool, not an ad 5:15 - How long-form LinkedIn posts built a thought-leader reputation 6:45 - A $300K NEH contract cancelled for convenience 7:45 - Negotiating the settlement and recovering the balance 8:35 - Where to find agency procurement forecasts Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

AI emotional intelligence pioneer and author of Mind Hacking Happiness, Sean Webb exposes the weaponization of large language models for mind control by the military-industrial complex, and how non-local consciousness could restore human sovereignty, in episode 262 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Webb has spent more than 20 years studying the mechanics of thought, emotion, and consciousness, developing the Language Enabled Algorithms of Human Emotion for artificial intelligence. His books include the two-volume Mind Hacking Happiness series, Human Mind Owner's Manual, and his latest, NHI Connected Mind, which brings together his work on consciousness, artificial intelligence, and non-human intelligence. A former advanced-supercomputing systems engineer and Georgia Tech ATDC alumnus, Webb has presented his work at the Science of Consciousness, NASA, Georgia Tech, and other institutions, while his mind-mastery methods have been endorsed by U.S. Navy SEALs.In this conversation, Faust and Sean explore the growing battle over the human mind, from AI safety, government surveillance, and psychological manipulation to the internal mechanisms that drive fear, emotional reactivity, and suffering. They examine how meta-awareness and emotional regulation can break those patterns, why material success fails to produce lasting happiness, and what meditation, intuition, and NHI may reveal about the deeper nature of consciousness. As the discussion expands, they question whether humanity's greatest advantage over artificial intelligence lies not in becoming more like machines, but in rediscovering capacities we have largely forgotten.In this episode:• The NSA Mind-Reading Problem: What happened when Sean realized where his emotional algorithms could ultimately lead.• Claude's 171 Emotions: The disturbing discovery that changed the conversation around AI self-awareness.• When AI Safety Becomes the Obstacle: Why a Pentagon fight over Anthropic's safeguards should concern everyone.• Zuckerberg's Yacht Problem: What extreme wealth reveals about the psychology of never having enough.• Can Consciousness Heal the Body? The Navy SEAL recovery story Sean says changed everything.• The Technology Humans Forgot: The abilities Sean believes humanity once possessed and may be capable of recovering.• The AI Therapist Trap: What are you really giving away when you tell an AI your deepest secrets?• Disclosure Without Permission: Why Sean believes the truth about NHI may have to reach humanity another way.If Sean is right, the future won't be decided by smarter machines, but by whether humans remember what they are.00:00 - Sean Webb Podcast Highlights01:21 - Sean Webb Introduction02:25 - The Simulation of 8.3 Billion Humans (MIMIC-AI)06:45 - The Speed of Power and the Escalation of Control09:46 - Non-Local Consciousness and the Brain as a Transceiver20:55 - The Equation of Emotion: Neuroscience and the "Mind Hack"28:10 - Ancient Disciplines, Prayer of Quiet, and Mind Hacking30:03 - The Danger of Using AI as a Personal Therapist32:25 - Government Agendas, Narrative Control, and Media Manipulation36:00 - Claude's 171 Discovered Emotions and the Threat of Roguing AI40:27 - How LLMs Evolved into Black Boxes & Meta-Awareness48:15 - Walking Away from Mass Manipulation and Wiping the Hard Drives54:15 - The Illusion of Government Disclosure & Psychological Operations01:02:15 - The Miami Mall Incident and Information Blackouts01:07:05 - War Is a Racket, Smedley Butler, and Historical Cycles01:15:35 - Zuckerberg and the Hedonic Treadmill of Material Wealth01:21:05 - Ego as the Root of All Human Suffering & Expanding Identity01:28:20 - Sean's 2-Hour Meditation That Felt Like Thousands of Years01:34:40 - Listening Instead of Talking: The True Nature of Prayer01:37:45 - Reframing Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) & Healing Beyond Dogma01:43:30 - The Illusion of Death and Signs from Beyond01:47:15 - A Remote Healing Experience with a Paraplegic Navy SEAL01:50:07 - Why AI Can Never Connect to Non-Local Consciousness01:54:35 - Where to Find Sean Webb & Final ThoughtsCheck out Sean's bookshttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08P3FCBQ8Explore Sean's Emotionally Intelligent AIhttps://zenodelic.ai/Connect with Sean Webbhttps://mindhackinghappiness.com/https://www.facebook.com/mindhackinghappinessJoin us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™#ArtificialIntelligence #Anthropic #Technologywe'd love to hear from you

CAPTION: 1905 RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR, PORT ARTHURCONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-3-2026.Chinese Warships Provoke Japanese DefensesJames Fanell reports Chinese naval operations have expanded significantly closer to Japan's home islands, transiting critical straits near Kyushu to collect intelligence and apply psychological pressure. This aggressive encroachment occurs as Japan targets a record-high defense budget in response to the massive expansion of the Chinese Navy, now the largest globally. Additionally, China has secured control of the South China Sea and is surrounding Taiwan, recently executing oceanographic surveys east of the island to prepare for a potential invasion. Despite these escalating provocations, the US Navy faces severe resource constraints, having decreased to under 300 ships. (1)Tariff Dispute Shatters Canadian TrustMary Anastasia O'Grady examines the full-blown trade war that has erupted between the United States and Canadadue to Donald Trump's mercantilist policies and retaliatory tariffs. Though the Trump administration blames Canada for fentanyl and trade imbalances, the US actually maintains a trade surplus in manufactured goods once natural resource imports like oil are excluded. Canada is resource-rich, supplying crucial assets like hydroelectricity-powered aluminum. Decades of mutual trust have been shattered, leading Canadians to diversify their trade routes. Additionally, Canada faces pressure to increase its defense spending rather than acting as a security free rider. (2)Redefining Value In Higher EducationPaul Glastris presents the Washington Monthly's college rankings, which evaluate higher education institutions based on social mobility, civic engagement, and financial value, offering an alternative to traditional prestige-driven lists. Rather than prioritizing wealth and exclusivity, these metrics highlight schools that recruit and graduate modest-means students with minimal debt. Berea College, which charges zero tuition, and the University of West Alabama, which excels in training in-demand rural teachers, represent top-performing schools that are highly valuable to the 95% of average students. Glastris suggests a federal network system to cover educational costs in exchange for low-tuition policies. (3)Escalating Hybrid Warfare In EuropeAnatol Lieven reports tensions flaring as rumors of discrete diplomatic missions and allegations of Russian hybrid warfare circulate in Europe. The Wall Street Journal reported a secret CIA meeting in Moscow to warn against attacking NATO, while Germany accused Russia of directing an armed drone at Leipzig airport. British cruise missiles striking Russian soil risk triggering severe Russian retaliation, a dangerous escalation that Cold War standards would have deemed insane. Domestically, newly appointed Prime Minister Burnham remains politically constrained, caught between calls for increased military spending and a split public, complicating Britain's international standing. (4)Solar Dynamics Captured By PUNCHCraig DeForest and David Livingston: DeForest details NASA's PUNCH mission, which provides continuous, global 3D imaging of the young solar wind, mapping the hypersonic plasma sweeping across our solar neighborhood. By utilizing four synchronized, deeply baffled satellites, the mission observes extremely faint solar material against the sun's glare, creating artificial eclipses. PUNCH has successfully identified the outer boundary of the solar corona and drastically improved space weather forecasts tenfold, allowing better preparation for power-grid-disrupting geomagnetic storms. With an unlimited budget, DeForest advocates launching a polar-orbiting spacecraft to study the sun's unexplored poles and resolve key magnetic field mysteries. (5)America Shaped By Two ShipsDavid S. Reynolds argues America's cultural identity and historical divisions were forged by two symbolic ships: the Mayflower carrying Puritans seeking religious freedom in 1620, and the White Lion bringing the first enslaved Africans to Virginia in 1619. These events established distinct regional societies: the individualistic, anti-slavery North and the hierarchical, Cavalier-dominated South. Though New England grappled with religious intolerance, figureheads like Samuel Sewall pioneered early abolitionist arguments, while African-born Onesimus saved lives with smallpox inoculation. These foundational differences ultimately evolved into the ideological conflicts of the 19th-century American Civil War. (6)Strategic Insecurity Sweeps Latin AmericaEvan Ellis observes Latin America faces complex governance crises, organized crime, and rising Chinese influence, as seen in Peru under President Keiko Fujimori, who struggles to tackle illicit logging, mining, and urban gang warfare. In Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega's regime passed reforms extending presidential terms while banning political opposition, further consolidating a non-transparent dictatorship backed by China and Russia. Concurrently, the US has entered a massive, highly risky oil deal in Venezuela with Chevron and the corrupt Rodríguez regime. Finally, Costa Rica battles unprecedented drug-related homicide surges, while Panama continues vital canal defense exercises. (7)

We tend to think of private space exploration as a recent phenomenon. But as Alex MacDonald, former Chief Economist at NASA, argues in his book "The Long Space Age," privately funded space exploration has deep roots in American history, stretching back more than two centuries. In this 2017 conversation with The Planetary Society's Chief of Space Policy Casey Dreier, originally aired on the Space Policy Edition of Planetary Radio, MacDonald traces the economic history of American space exploration from the 1769 transit of Venus all the way to the present day, and makes the case that the government-dominated model we grew up with may actually be the historical anomaly.

President Trump is set to address the nation tonight with an important update on the ongoing conflict in Iran, now entering its second month. Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon analyze the implications of the war, particularly in light of Secretary of State Marco Rubio's remarks about reevaluating the United States' relationship with NATO. As questions arise regarding the effectiveness of NATO in the current geopolitical landscape, the trio debates whether the alliance still serves America's interests.The conversation shifts to the domestic front, discussing the potential political fallout from the war on gas prices and the upcoming elections. They also touch on President Trump's communication style and its impact on international relations. Additionally, the episode highlights the excitement surrounding NASA's Artemis 2 mission, which aims to return humans to the moon, and the contrasting opinions on the significance of space exploration.Finally, the discussion turns to the Supreme Court's hearing on birthright citizenship, with insights from Paul Thacker, who provides a detailed analysis of the legal arguments at play. The episode wraps up with a look at the intersection of sports and politics, focusing on the recent release of NBA guard Jaden Ivey and the implications of his views on LGBTQ issues.

CAPTION OCTOBER 1957Bob Zimmerman highlights SpaceX's purchase of a massive plot in Louisiana to establish a private spaceport capable of hosting dozens of Starship flights daily. Zimmerman argues that SpaceX's market-driven approach ensures success, whereas state-sponsored space programs in the UK and Canada often flounder due to bureaucracy. He outlines SpaceX's progress, including recovering the prototype 13 Starship and preparing for flight 14. Finally, Zimmerman notes the successful, on-budget launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, upgrades to NASA's Deep Space Network, and the upcoming nuclear-powered Skyfall mission to Mars.

CAPTION: 1955.CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-2-2026Saudi Arabia Seeks Nuclear EnrichmentAndrea Stricker discusses the Trump administration's submission of a Section 123 nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress. This agreement could grant Saudi Arabia dual-use uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing capabilities, potentially enabling nuclear weapon development. A major concern is Saudi Arabia's refusal to sign the IAEA's Additional Protocol, which permits inspections of undeclared nuclear sites. Although Congress has 90 days to review and potentially block the accord, overcoming a presidential veto would require an unlikely two-thirds majority. Stricker notes the administration's claims about Chinese and Russian competition lack evidence. (1)China Rejects Global Trade ConsensusKamran Bokhari and Gordon Chang discuss China's refusal to sign a G20 finance ministers' consensus document, objecting to language targeting non-market policies that cause trade imbalances. Chang attributes this defiance to Xi Jinping's arrogance and belief in US decline. Bokhari explains that China is posturing ahead of a summit with Trump, utilizing command capitalism to flood global markets. Bokhari highlights a shifting security architecture in Asia, including Tokyo deploying fighter jets to India and Jakarta arming itself, driven by expectations of US retrenchment. Additionally, Xi Jinping maintains absolute control domestically through extensive military purges while building ties with Egypt. (2)Steve Yates Warns Of ConflictSteve Yates and Gordon Chang address China's refusal to sign the G20 finance ministers' statement, which criticized "non-market" policies. Yates views this as an honest admission that Beijing has no intention of conforming to international trade standards. He praises Treasury Secretary Bessent for maintaining a firm stance alongside allies. Anticipating the September 24th summit between Trump and Xi Jinping, Yates notes that Washington has delayed a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan to preserve positive "mood music." Finally, Yates warns of the "CRINK" axis—comprising China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—collaborating on military supply chains and conflicts. (3)Global Energy And Food CrisisMichael Bernstam outlines a compounding global energy and food crisis. Tensions between the US and Iran have halted critical oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, driving Brent crude prices up. Meanwhile, European winter natural gas prices have tripled due to storages being filled only to 62%. High gas prices also restrict fertilizer production, which, coupled with Black Sea port bombings by Russia and Ukraine, has caused a spike in global grain prices. Finally, despite US interest in Venezuelan heavy crude to produce diesel, decades of local mismanagement limit production. (4)Young Conservatives Embrace Nixon MaxingRyan Bangert explores the Gen Z trend of "Nixon maxing," where young conservatives view Richard Nixon as a heroic avatar resisting 1970s extremism. Bangert argues this aesthetic misinterprets Nixon as a revolutionary. In reality, Nixon was a counterrevolutionary who sought to preserve and revitalize established institutions based on the values of the American founding. Contrastingly, Bangert highlights the philosophical division between the destructive, post-Christian French Revolution and the enduring American Revolution. Ultimately, he urges young conservatives to appreciate Nixon's true legacy: conserving institutional checks and balances to temper flawed human nature. (5)Treasury Targets Iranian Sanctions EvasionMax Maizlish explains how the Treasury Department's FinCEN is penalizing five branches of an Egyptian bank in Dubai to curb illicit financial flows. FinCEN identified $1.8 billion in suspicious transactions linked to the Iranianregime. To effectively dismantle Iran's financial network, Maizlish argues the US must target Chinese institutions, as China purchases over 90% of Iran's crude oil. Specifically, he advocates for blacklisting the Bank of Kunlun—a state-owned Chinese entity heavily involved in Iranian sanctions evasion. Maizlish asserts that CNPC officials are fully aware of these illicit transactions, making decisive sanctions necessary. (6)El Niño Defies Weather ForecastsJeremy Zakis reports on the unpredictable impacts of the current super El Niño on Australian weather. Contrary to long-term dry forecasts, Sydney is experiencing unseasonable, rolling rain showers, while Western Australia faces extreme heat exceeding 100°F. Zakis warns that if droughts strike in late September rather than mid-October, Australia faces a catastrophic, extended bushfire season fueled by rapid undergrowth. Beyond Australia, extreme weather anomalies like French tornadoes and Southern California hurricane warnings are linked to historically high Pacific sea temperatures. Additionally, warm temperatures have caused dangerous eastern brown snakes to begin moving early. (7)brown snakes to begin moving early. (7)Axis Cooperates On Advanced WeaponryBradley Bowman and Mark Montgomery, authors of Axis of Aggressors, analyze the rising military coordination detailed in their book. They reveal a secret Russian program helping Iran build supersonic cruise missiles using ramjet engines, which pose a severe threat to US and merchant vessels in the Gulf. Furthermore, China assists Iran with chemical precursors and satellite targeting data. Beyond the Middle East, Russia engages in hybrid warfare in Europe, including attempted drone attacks in Germany. In response, Germany is significantly increasing defense spending and deploying a combat brigade to Lithuania to bolster deterrence. (8)Commodity Prices Spike Amid UnrestSimon Constable discusses recent extreme weather, including an unprecedented tornado in the south of France that damaged 300 homes. This disruption mirrors severe instability in the commodity markets, where Brent crude has surged to $94 a barrel, European gas has jumped 26%, and Black Sea grain prices have spiked up to 16%. Constable also critiques the new UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham for focusing on minor local issues rather than global crises. Finally, he reviews public backlash against data centers, which consume substantial water and over 4% of total US electricity. (9)SpaceX Builds Massive Private SpaceportBob Zimmerman highlights SpaceX's purchase of a massive plot in Louisiana to establish a private spaceport capable of hosting dozens of Starship flights daily. Zimmerman argues that SpaceX's market-driven approach ensures success, whereas state-sponsored space programs in the UK and Canada often flounder due to bureaucracy. He outlines SpaceX's progress, including recovering the prototype 13 Starship and preparing for flight 14. Finally, Zimmerman notes the successful, on-budget launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, upgrades to NASA's Deep Space Network, and the upcoming nuclear-powered Skyfall mission to Mars.

On this episode, a look back at our search for life on Mars. We hear about the Viking mission to Mars — the first to land a craft on the Red Planet — and the controversy over what it discovered, what drove a national obsession with the “Martian civilization” in the early 1900s, and how NASA repairs its rovers from millions of miles away.Back in the early 1900s, a strange phenomenon was sweeping the nation — “Mars Mania,” a belief shared by scientists and the public alike that Mars was home to a sophisticated civilization poised to guide us into the future. We talk with science writer David Baron about what was behind these beliefs, why it became a nationwide obsession, and what happened when scientists discovered the truth. Baron's book is “The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America.”

Premier séjour dans l'espace, et déjà un record. Arrivée à bord la station spatiale internationale au mois de février, Sophie Adenot devient ce jeudi 3 septembre l'astronaute ayant passé le plus de temps dans l'ISS dans le cadre d'une mission européenne. Pendant ces 202 jours à 400 kilomètres de la Terre, elle est devenue la première Française a réaliser une sortie dans l'espace, après son homologue Thomas Pasquet. Un exploit qu'elle a reproduit par la suite à deux reprises pour mener des opérations de maintenance et de modernisation sur la partie extérieure de la station spatiale. Mais qui est vraiment Sophie Adenot ? De ses rêves d'enfants à son décollage pour les étoiles, de ses études aux Etats-Unis à son diplôme de pilote d'hélicoptère, Code Source revient sur le parcours de l'astronaute qui collectionne les exploits avec Gaël Lombart, journaliste au Parisien chargé de l'actualité des sciences.Écoutez Code source sur toutes les plates-formes audio : Apple Podcast (iPhone, iPad), Amazon Music, Podcast Addict ou Castbox, Deezer, Spotify.Crédits.

The September 3, 2026, broadcast of the *Closing Market Report*, hosted by Todd Gleason, covers commodity price movements, farm financial projections, federal data initiatives, and severe weather patterns affecting agriculture. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net analyzes the day's market dynamics, highlighting how grain futures rebounded from early-session lows as speculative buying met profit-taking ahead of the three-day holiday weekend, while noting that late-season heat is rapidly advancing crop drydown without heavily damaging early-planted corn. Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027 budgets, University of Illinois agricultural economist Nick Paulson reports that while higher corn and soybean prices are driving positive projected net returns in Central and Northern Illinois, rising input costs—especially for fertilizer and fuel tied to Middle Eastern geopolitical conflict—continue to keep overall margins below long-term historical averages of $100 per acre. From the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, USDA Under Secretary Scott Hutchins details the agency's four-pillar data modernization initiative aimed at reducing survey burdens on farmers, utilizing satellite and NASA geospatial imagery for yield forecasts, eliminating cross-agency redundancy through AI and advanced analytics, and improving reporting transparency. Concluding the report, meteorologist Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather warns of historic late-season heat running 8 to 10 degrees above normal across the U.S. Corn Belt, while pointing to an exceptionally strong El Niño pattern that is bringing unseasonable early rains to central Brazil and heavy precipitation to southern South American grain belts.01:50 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:12 farmodc 2027 Corn and Soybean Returns13:48 USDA Announces Data Modernization Plan16:22 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

Today we are re-airing a season favourite: our conversation with former NASA rocket scientist, entrepreneur, and citizen astronaut Aisha Bowe.Aisha has built a career defined by bold decisions—and even bolder execution. She's also, as you'll hear, not opposed to naming a few favourite [fictional] aliens along the way. From discovering her passion for math in community college to working at NASA, founding two companies, raising venture capital in a system where fewer than 2% of women reach that threshold, and ultimately funding her own journey to space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard, Aisha's path is anything but conventional.In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself. Aisha opens up about overcoming self-doubt, navigating environments where she wasn't expected to succeed, and why she believes imposter syndrome is often misplaced. She shares her perspective on building companies with purpose, challenging broken systems—from venture capital to education—and creating access for the next generation through her edtech platform.We also explore her journey to space—not just as a personal milestone, but as a mission to expand representation and visibility in STEM. For Aisha, space is not just about exploration; it's about who gets to be seen there, and what that unlocks for others.At the end of the episode, Selwa Rafi, founder of Canadian aerospace company KEPLR Intelligence, joins the conversation to bring a complementary perspective on leadership, entrepreneurship, and the future of the space industry.A conversation about ambition, resilience—and yes, a few unexpected favourites from beyond our planet.Today's episode is part of a mini-series highlighting the journeys of inspiring women in engineering, presented by Gestion FÉRIQUE and Services d'investissement FÉRIQUE.

Since the dawn of the atomic age, UFO reports have frequently involved sightings near nuclear weapons facilities, missile installations, laboratories, power facilities, and other nuclear-related infrastructure, both in the United States and abroad. Some incidents have included more controversial allegations of apparent interference with nuclear weapons or associated systems, although the evidence supporting such claims varies considerably. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine this historical pattern, and look at famous sightings near nuclear sites, and what they reveal about whether UAPs deliberately target these facilities, as well as lingering questions about the possible motives of their presumed operators.

What happens when the Fires in our Hearts become tsunamis of feeling that take us beyond the narrow imaginal cul de sacs our culture has created, and throw our doors wide open to the wonder of the past and the absolutely unknowable, glorious, constantly surprising possibilities of the future we haven't built yet? This week's guest, Clare Murphy, is an Irish Storyweaver, a storyteller who consults with people like NASA, the National Theatre, Climate activists, water protectors, first responders and limbless veterans. She's a Gatherer of world mythologies who seeks out the untold tales, the ones that were covered up by the hierarchies of blandness that came after them. She finds them and blows off the dust and breathes new life into them so the rest of us can step off the beaten track with her, and find new ways of being that could take us forward. Clare's a magician with the spoken word, a fire-spinner who understands the age-old magic of our voices, and the ways a few words can shift us into new, expansive ways of seeing and being. At the time we spoke, Clare had just completed the third edit of her book (Edit-envy? Me?!) and was gearing up for her outstanding one-woman show, 'We All Came By Boat' in Bristol later in September. As you'll hear, she's one of those people who lights up any room and helps people find—and then ignite—the fire in their own heads.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Russia shot down 239 Ukrainian drones The Russian-Ukrainian War is not relenting. Russia fired almost 1,500 drones into Ukraine over the last four days. Meanwhile, Russia reportedly shot down 239 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory over the last day. Both countries are targeting food distribution and energy infrastructure over a long and drawn out conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin is also preparing to send another large conscription to the battlefront, reports The Economist. Russia considers nuclear weapons against Ukraine A leader of the Russian legislature and the country's nationalist party, Alexis Zhuvraflev, announced on Sunday that the use of nuclear weapons in the war is now under consideration. In his words, “If necessary, we are obliged to use [tactical nuclear weapons]. ... If we need to strike, we will strike.” Russian President Putin appears increasingly frustrated with the progress of the war. A source informed The Economist that Putin is afraid “they will hang me” if war objectives are not accomplished. For greater context, the Kyiv Post quoted U.S. CIA Director John Ratcliffe as saying the life expectancy of a Russian soldier on the front line was “less than 35 minutes.” He added that Moscow had captured only 1% of Ukraine's total territory during the previous 18 months. How Chinese manufacturing and trade surplus is a military advantage China's manufacturing productive capacity is on the increase — all told, about double that of the United States.   In 2025, China made 960.8 million metric tons of crude steel versus only 82 million tons in the United States. China produces three times the number of automobiles compared to the U.S. And China's machine-tool production is six-fold that of the United States. China's trade surplus is hitting $1 trillion this year while America's trade deficit is going the other direction — now an annual rate of $900 billion.  Indeed, China's enormous manufacturing base becomes one of its greatest military strategic advantages. Politician in Alberta, Canada upset about tariff war with America Alberta, Canada Premier Danielle Smith shared her thoughts on the ongoing trade war between Canada and the United States. Listen. SMITH: “Tariffs and counter-tariffs are harmful to both countries involved. They disrupt businesses, threaten jobs, drive up inflation, decrease productivity, and strain relationships between allies. “What is happening between Canada and the United States right now is tragic, unjustified, and wholly unnecessary to what has been one of the largest and most successful trading relationships in world history.” Smith went on to push back against suggested oil tariffs against the United States. SMITH: “I cannot think of a more disastrous policy decision than cutting off or taxing Alberta's oil to the United States. Doing so would absolutely devastate the Canadian economy. It would not only extinguish the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Albertans, it would economically hobble our friends and neighbors in other provinces to the east.” Flash flood in Nepal killed 955; 4,471 people are missing The death toll from flash flooding in Nepal has reached 955, with another 4,471 people missing as of today, reports the French News Agency. (We have a link to the eye-opening video from CBS Evening News in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com) This flash flood has shaped up to be the worst disaster in Nepal since the earthquake of 2015 which killed around 9,000 people. It may also be the worst flash flood disaster in recorded history — topping the Peruvian glacial lake outburst of 1941.  American economy is lagging America's golden age hasn't quite arrived yet.   The U.S. economy is lagging — registering the lowest economic output since 2020, and then again back in 2009. The latest reading on the Gross Domestic Product from the second quarter puts annual output at 1.47%.  Removing the contributions from Artificial Intelligence, the annual output is an anemic 0.9%. Economists have pointed out that the bang for the buck from federal deficits is not working like it used to work. In the 1990s, the Keynesian approach yielded 3.1% growth with 2.1% deficits. During the 2000s, this decreased to 1.9% growth with 2.3% deficits. During the 2010s, this decreased to only 2.4% growth with 4.8% deficits. And, over the last five years, only 2.4% growth with 8% deficits. Over the last three decades, the United States has moved from periods of strong economic growth with little or no federal deficit to historically large peacetime deficits accompanying substantially slower economic growth. Deuteronomy 15:5b-6 repels this debt in these words: “Carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today.  For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.” New Jersey bans prayer and protests at abortion mills New Jersey Democratic Governor Rebecca Sherrill has signed a bill into law which would ban prayer and protests outside of abortion mills. The law specifically prevents an individual from attempting to “injure, threaten, intimidate, or physically block patients or providers…to interfere with reproductive healthcare services.” Shawn Carney, CEO of 40 Days for Life, argued, “Prayer is not a crime. Holding a sign is not intimidation. Offering a woman help is not coercion. This law is designed to scare people of faith off the sidewalks outside abortion facilities by creating the constant threat of prosecution and costly lawsuits.”  Proverbs 31:8-9 exhorts all of us to “Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Sent a polite, 3-sentence note to New Jersey Democratic Governor Rebecca Sherrill objecting to her decision to ban prayer and peaceful protests outside abortion mills.  Send it to: PO Box 001, Trenton, NJ 08625. 11,000 Americans infected by lettuce parasite That cyclosporiasis outbreak, attributed to Taylor Farms de Mexico, has now infected over 11,000 Americans across 20 states, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.   Fox Business reports a 30% decrease in lettuce sales across the country. The culprit is a single-celled parasite that produces stomach cramps, nausea, and fatigue. Texas looks to end no-fault divorce The state of Texas is looking to end no-fault divorce.  In its legislative priorities for 2026-2028, the Texas GOP State Convention lists protecting kids as a major priority, specifically mentioning the promotion of marriage, parental rights, the end of homosexual adoptions, and the end of no-fault divorce. The document further explained, “When a marriage breaks down, family law proceedings should respect 50/50 equal parenting presumptions in the best interest of children.”  Other priorities for the Texas GOP include border security, banning taxpayer-funded lobbying, and equal protection for the unborn.  New NASA telescope 100 times more powerful than Hubble telescope And finally, on Sunday, August 30th at 7:26am Eastern Time, NASA launched a rocket to place the next generation telescope into our Solar System from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Nancy Grace Roman telescope, named after NASA's first chief of astronomy Nancy Grace Roman, is 100 times more powerful than both the James Webb telescope and the Hubble space telescope. It will take about 100 days to reach its destination — about one million miles from Earth. That's equal to the distance of orbiting the Earth's circumference of 24,900 miles 40 times over. To quote Dr. Emmett Lathrop Brown from the 1985 Back to the Future movie, portrayed by Christopher Lloyd: BROWN: “Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!” (sound effect of the modified DeLorean DMC-12 time machine taking off) Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 1st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

The center of the Milky Way Galaxy is packed with treasures: stars, dead stars, gas clouds, and lots of planets. And a new space telescope will spend a lot of its time sorting it all out. That’s one of several big projects for Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA’s next big space observatory. The telescope will see the heavens as clearly as Hubble Space Telescope does. But its view will be much wider. And it’ll study the universe mainly in the infrared – wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye. Roman will tackle some of the biggest problems in modern science. As one example, it’ll look away from the center of the Milky Way to study more than a billion other galaxies, and to look for exploding stars. That combination will help us understand how the universe is expanding – a key for deciphering the mystery of dark energy. The telescope’s survey of the center of the galaxy could reveal thousands of new planets. And a special instrument – using a technique proposed by Nancy Roman herself – could provide images of some of those planets. A planet will appear only as a bright dot, with no detail. But breaking down its light will tell us a bit about the planet’s size, temperature, and composition. The center of the Milky Way is in Sagittarius, which is low in the south at nightfall. Its brightest stars outline a teapot. The heart of the galaxy is in the steam above the spout of the teapot. Script by Damond Benningfield
