Over the decades, NASA has become synonymous with scientific discovery, innovation, and economic opportunities. Now, with Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. Then, NASA will use what is learned on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.rnrnAt the helm of these efforts is NASA's Jim Free. He leads America's deep space human exploration efforts, including developing the systems for NASA's Artemis missions and planning the agency's Moon to Mars exploration approach and architectures. A native of Northeast Ohio, Jim Free previously served as Center Director of the NASA Glenn Research Center and has over three decades of experience in government and the industry. Under his leadership, humanity will establish a long-term presence on the Moon to conduct fundamental scientific research, send humans to further destinations, and advance economic opportunity--including right here in Northeast Ohio.

The greater the value of space, the greater the risks. The rise of the space economy is accelerating the business, operational and human risks. Are we prepared to handle them? The Safe Space podcast series – part of the Reducing the Risks of Space campaign – will explore policy, law, technology and operations in development now to manage the challenging space environment of the future. The first episode features a conversation between Elizabeth Evans, Partner at K&L Gates – who joins us to speak about the Space Shuttle Children's Trust Fund – and Kathryn Lueders, Former Associate Administrator for Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate at NASA (now retired) and a member of the Space & Satellite Hall of Fame. Elizabeth Evans is a partner at the New York office of K&L Gates. She is a member of the asset and corporate finance practice group and heads the airfinance practice in the Americas. She concentrates her practice in structured asset-based finance, and focuses on aviation finance (both fixed wing and rotary), satellite finance, transportation finance, and project finance. She also engages in related transactional, regulatory and policy work for aviation, aerospace and space industries. Her practice includes private placements of debt and equity, leveraged equipment leasing and all aspects of the law relating to outer space (both domestic and international). Prior to joining the firm, Elizabeth served as a partner in the financial institutions group at an international law firm, where she focused her practice on aviation and other asset-based finance, (including satellite, railcars, trucks and heavy equipment finance transactions), as well as space law policy work. Elizabeth has represented banks, financial institutions, credit capital corporations, private equity investors, governmental agencies, export credit agencies and leasing companies in complex structured financings, including air traffic control system financings, airport and terminal development projects and aviation, rail car and truck financings. She has spent many years working on restructurings (both in court and out-of-court) during economic downturns. She has done both debtor side and lender/lessor side work in numerous aviation restructurings, and has represented private equity funds in the purchase of distressed equity positions in equipment finance. She helped arrange and conduct unique foreclosures and auctions of satellites orbiting in space. She has also played an instrumental role in drafting legislation relating to the laws of outer space. For nearly thirty years, Kathryn Lueders has played an indispensable role in bringing the capabilities of the commercial space and satellite industry to NASA; serving human space exploration missions though new technology, practices of cost savings, and opening valuable opportunities for the industry. Kathryn began her career at NASA in 1992 as the Shuttle Orbital Maneuvering System and Reaction Control Systems Depot Manager for the White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico, after completing two Bachelor's degrees in Science and Business Administration and a Masters of Science degree. Kathy moved to the International Space Station (ISS) Program next and served in a variety of managerial roles covering space station Logistics and Maintenance, Vehicle Systems Integration and Commercial Orbital Transportation Services Integration. In November 2007, Kathryn became responsible for expanding the range of launch vehicles providing access to the International Space Station. She established the Program's Transportation Integration where she oversaw international partner vehicles, including the European Space Agency's Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), the Japanese Space Agency's H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), and the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. In that role, she also managed the development and execution of the Commercial Resupply services contracts which began delivery of cargo to the ISS in 2012 and now have now delivered over 100,000 lbs of cargo to the International Space Station. She was inducted into the Space & Satellite Hall of Fame in 2021.

The Space Show Summer Series: Lunar Science In the Artemis Era — Episode 18 The Space Show podcast is on its annual summer hiatus for six weeks. In its place, we are pleased to present our Summer Series: Lunar Science In the Artemis Era. This episode features Lunar Exploration Roadmap, Human Exploration and Operations, and Farside Landing with: * Amy Fagan * Marshall Smith * James Head. Lunar Science In the Artemis Era is a series which focuses attention on the science to be done at the Moon by both robotic missions and the crewed Artemis missions. These programs are based on a series of NASA workshops held during 2020, 2021 and 2022 in which the scientific knowledge gaps that need to be filled to achieve the Artemis human missions to the Moon, and the scientific investigations that scientists desire to be done both on the Moon and in the vicinity of the Moon, were discussed. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the participants were talking from their homes and offices, and so the audio quality varies considerably. Some relevant talks were not included because the audio was so dreadful as to make them unlistenable.

This week, NASA has announced that they are moving towards the first launch attempt for the Artemis I mission with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft currently in the Vehicle Assembly Building at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA is currently targeting launch for no earlier than Monday, Aug. 29, at 8:33 a.m. EDT during a 2 hour window!!!!! So, Dean and Beth dig right in to the who, what, where, when, why and how of NASA's Space Launch System on this week's episode of the Casual Space Podcast! NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) is the world's most powerful rocket and the backbone of NASA's human lunar exploration program (check out this reference guide ASAP: https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/sls_reference_guide_2022_v2_508_0.pdf). No other rocket can send astronauts and the Orion spacecraft directly to the Moon for the Artemis missions. SLS provides an unmatched capability to deliver greater mass and volume than any current launch vehicle for both human and robotic exploration of the Moon, Mars, and the outer planets. SLS was established by the NASA Authorization Act of 2010. The program was created at Marshall in 2011 and received funding in FY2012. SLS is the world's first exploration-class launch vehicle since the Apollo Program's Saturn V. Along with SLS, NASA's Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate in the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate is developing the EGS and the Orion spacecraft for crew. Orion, managed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, is a spacecraft designed to carry astronauts on exploration missions into deep space. EGS has converted facilities at Kennedy into a next-generation spaceport capable of supporting launches by multiple types of vehicles.

Upon returning back from Merritt Island, Airman Khan discusses the vital mission both the NASA and the United States Space Force share in upcoming space programs and spaceflight missions for this decade and beyond in great detail. He explains about the Artemis Program, the program focusing on sending humans back to the Moon for the first time since the 1970s, and how it is great for both space agencies to advocate for the mission through funding already achieved and partnerships already gained through private and commercial space companies, such as Space-X and Blue Origin. He concludes that his upcoming involvement with NASA's L'SPACE Academy will definitely help him understand the reasons for this human exploration mission of Jupiter, and strives to place more emphasis for similar space programs like this in his FY2022 airmanship budget. Preparedness for the next five decades in the space domain is a must for America and the rest of mankind, so effective budget protocols for funding of research is the best way to make all of this happen in the end. The Pilot is looking forward to returning back to Merritt Island for his next assignment on Mars Base 1 by April 2022, where he will investigate the living conditions on Mars for future human inhabitants, such as the type of vegetation to grow and the houses to construct and build.

Libby is one of Britain's leading experts in human spaceflight and she's passionate about sharing stories on that topic with young people to encourage them to follow their passions in life. Space was Libby's childhood inspiration, and she has worked in the space industry since she earned her degrees in Physics from Imperial College and Astronautics and Space Engineering from Cranfield University. She began working at Europe's control center for the International Space Station as a flight instructor and controller in 2007, and a few years later, became director for the European Space Agency's ISS Columbus module. She joined the UK Space Agency in 2014 as spokesperson for the first British ESA astronaut Tim Peake's mission to the International Space Station and has remained there since. In our conversation, Jackson explains how she wrote a “Travel Guide to Mars” when she was just nine years old, how, at age 17, she shadowed a mission control worker at NASA Johnson Space Center, what it was like working at Europe's control center for the International Space Station, what inspired her to write her new book, and how the stories in it go beyond just facts — to include the emotions that the explorers experienced on their missions. Describing her objective in writing her newest book, Libby says, “Here's a book I wish I had when I was 10, or 11 or 12. Something that tells these fantastic stories, gets behind just the pictures and the highlights of what you see. And I hope I get across just how exciting and brilliant a place [space] is.” To learn more about Libby and her books, visit libbyjackson.com Introductory and closing music: Paint the Sky by Hans Atom © Copyright 2015, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/hansatom/50718 Ft: Miss Judged

If it seemed like average people flying into space was something from the future, this episode is proof that the future is now...or is it? In this episode of Talking Space, we start with the launch of the first all-civilian orbital mission, Inspiration 4. We report what it was like from the grounds of the press site (including some fantastic Falcon 9 launch audio) and the reception it received from the public. However it's not all cheers to a new era of spaceflight as some of our team members and the public say space isn't for everyone just yet. We also discuss the upcoming private Axios mission to the International Space Station getting a launch date, and how the launch of a Russian actress is delaying important work to the newly-installed Nauka modules, which has had some issues from the moment it arrived at the station. We then dive into the delays for the Human Landing System because of a lawsuit. The question remains, even without the lawsuit, is 2024 still viable to land on the moon? We then also discuss the reorganization of NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. It left a lot of questions about what that means for the agency, especially this far along with Artemis, which we hope to answer. Finally, we've heard about unruly passengers on commercial flights, but our FAA expert Mark Ratterman looks into what might happen if you get an unruly passenger on a spaceflight.

While traveling in the East Coast for the remainder of this summer season, Airman Khan explained his reflections on meeting with business leaders from America and other parts of the globe at the Mexico summit has taught him about the importance of resilience of social and economic talent for ongoing human space exploration efforts through giving back to the people, similar to the social business models he and his team was involved in for much part of the year. Despite the growth of robust space tourism through ventures hailing from Blue Origin and SpaceX, many families with vision for outer space yet lack the economic resources needed to fulfill their dream into reality, as many of the American population do not earn at least $100,000 annually for space tourism, but this can be altered through the course of accountability and action. The Pilot argues at the end that through his economic works, people would be able to recognize themselves by also fulfilling their goal of traveling to space one day, without having to break their backs, if they are willing to.

Will The New York Times Ever Stop Reporting on UFOs? By far the weirdest thing about this story is that it keeps on showing up. Link: https://www.wired.com/story/will-the-new-york-times-ever-stop-reporting-on-ufos/ IN DECEMBER 2017, The New York Times published a front page story about a ”shadowy” UFO Pentagon program that investigated encounters between Navy fighter pilots and mysterious, gravity-defying objects. Illustrated with several grainy cockpit videos posted to the Times' website, the scoop was captivating. ABC News called it a “bombshell.” Brett Baier of Fox News said, “a lot of people are taking this revelation seriously.” A lot of journalists, that is. Many news consumers did lap up the story like a new X-Files episode but nobody ran for the hills, and nobody in Congress called for hearings about the “revelation” and its seemingly huge implications for civilization. As one observer on Twitter noted: “I mean the New York Times literally just gave us proof of UFOs and the world didn't skip a beat.” The latest installment documents other “close encounters” between Navy pilots and “unidentified aerial vehicles” that date back to 2013 and 2014. The takeaway from this story and the others has been unmistakable: Some kind of unknown, super-advanced form of aviation technology is encroaching on US military air space and outmaneuvering top-gun pilots. If true, this would appear to expose an alarming national defense vulnerability. To understand the Times' sustained interest in UFOs requires an appreciation of Elizondo's central role in its coverage. His willingness to resign from the Pentagon in 2017 and then reveal the existence and details of the UFO program he'd purportedly run, supplied the gravitas at the center of the initial Times account. Without him, it's likely the story would not have gotten so much traction. In appearances last year with Tucker Carlson, Elizondo said that he and the private company that now employs him were studying pieces of a possible extraterrestrial craft. Elizondo also told Carlson that he believed the US government was in possession of an actual UFO. Kecksburg UFO Festival canceled Link: https://www.latrobebulletinnews.com/covid19/kecksburg-ufo-festival-canceled/article_d9d4e589-c63a-5695-bb51-b1a4c2bc3751.html The Kecksburg UFO Festival became the latest annual event to be put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic. The festival, started up 14 years ago as a fundraiser for the Kecksburg Volunteer Fire Department and to commemorate the Dec. 9, 1965, event in which several area residents spotted an acorn-shaped unidentified flying object land near the Mount Pleasant Township village.

UFO Buster Radio News – 372: New York Times Loving UFOs, Kecksburg Cancelled, and NASA Shakeup

Will The New York Times Ever Stop Reporting on UFOs? By far the weirdest thing about this story is that it keeps on showing up. Link: https://www.wired.com/story/will-the-new-york-times-ever-stop-reporting-on-ufos/ IN DECEMBER 2017, The New York Times published a front page story about a ”shadowy” UFO Pentagon program that investigated encounters between Navy fighter pilots and mysterious, gravity-defying objects. Illustrated with several grainy cockpit videos posted to the Times' website, the scoop was captivating. ABC News called it a “bombshell.” Brett Baier of Fox News said, “a lot of people are taking this revelation seriously.” A lot of journalists, that is. Many news consumers did lap up the story like a new X-Files episode but nobody ran for the hills, and nobody in Congress called for hearings about the “revelation” and its seemingly huge implications for civilization. As one observer on Twitter noted: “I mean the New York Times literally just gave us proof of UFOs and the world didn't skip a beat.” The latest installment documents other “close encounters” between Navy pilots and “unidentified aerial vehicles” that date back to 2013 and 2014. The takeaway from this story and the others has been unmistakable: Some kind of unknown, super-advanced form of aviation technology is encroaching on US military air space and outmaneuvering top-gun pilots. If true, this would appear to expose an alarming national defense vulnerability. To understand the Times' sustained interest in UFOs requires an appreciation of Elizondo's central role in its coverage. His willingness to resign from the Pentagon in 2017 and then reveal the existence and details of the UFO program he'd purportedly run, supplied the gravitas at the center of the initial Times account. Without him, it's likely the story would not have gotten so much traction. In appearances last year with Tucker Carlson, Elizondo said that he and the private company that now employs him were studying pieces of a possible extraterrestrial craft. Elizondo also told Carlson that he believed the US government was in possession of an actual UFO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td7xHgwPQyQ Streamed live on May 6, 2020. Host: Fraser Cain ( @fcain )Special Guest: This week we welcome Dr. Pascal Lee to the Weekly Space Hangout. Pascal is chairman of the Mars Institute, planetary scientist at the SETI Institute, and director of the NASA Haughton-Mars Project (HMP) at NASA Ames. He holds an ME in geology and geophysics from the University of Paris, and a PhD in astronomy and space sciences from Cornell. Pascal’s research focuses on water and caves on the Moon and Mars, the origin of Mars’ moons, and the future human exploration of the Moon and Mars. He has led over 30 expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica for analog studies, including a 402-day winter-over in Antarctica. He is a recipient of the United States Antarctic Service Medal. He also works on surface systems for future Moon and Mars exploration, including drones, hoppers, rovers, spacesuits, and habitats. Pascal was scientist-pilot for NASA’s first field test of the SEV concept pressurized rover. He also led the Northwest Passage Drive Expedition, a record-setting vehicular traverse on sea-ice along the fabled Northwest Passage and the subject of the award-winning documentary film Passage To Mars (2016). He currently leads the HMP’s Astronaut Smart Glove project and JPL’s GlobeTrotter planetary hopper concept study. Pascal is also interested in SETI. He argues that there are likely very few advanced civilizations per galaxy, and that we might be the only one in ours at this time. His first book, Mission: Mars, won the 2015 Prize for Excellence in children’s science books from the AAAS. In his free time, Pascal likes to be walked by his dog Apollo, fly, and paint.

It will be prohibitively expensive to send from Earth to either location sufficient resources for astronauts to carry out priority mission goals, to say nothing of eventual settlement. With NASA’s human space flight program focusing on lunar operations and technologies to enable eventual human missions to Mars, in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) has become a high priority in NASA’s technology investment plans.

News: Elon Musk is prepping for Mars SpaceX announced that they are building the first Mars, or interplanetary ship, and they think we'll be able to do short trips and flights by early 2019 NEXT YEAR!! Their original plan was to send a cargo ship to Mars in 2022, thus making these test flights. SpaceX's BFR rocket system is expected to travel to other planets, and be fully reusable AND a flight will cost less than the initial Falcon 1 flights, which Musk estimated in the $5 to $6 million range. He hopes if BFR launches, others will believe Mars travel is possible, and follow suit. Musk noted that as soon as all of the necessities for life are installed on Mars "then really the explosion of entrepreneurial opportunity [will begin], because Mars will need everything from iron foundries to pizza joints.” NASA is sending another lander to Mars! InSight, (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport), is a Mars lander designed to measure the inside of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core. NASA will be launching InSight from Vandenberg Air Force Base on May 5th as the first planetary mission launched from the West Coast!

We’ve actually already started this process with satellites, rovers, private companies, international cooperation and Mars 2020. NASA has classified this journey into 3 thresholds: Earth Reliant Proving Ground Earth Independant Earth Reliant ISS operation through 2024 Commercial development of Low Earth Orbit Development of deep space systems, life support, and human health ISS, Orion… Proving Ground (Cislunar space) Regular crewed missions and spacewalks in cislunar space ISS is hours away from home, cislunar space is days, Mars is months Verify deep space habitation The first of these missions will launch NASA's powerful new rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS). The mission will carry the Orion spacecraft (without astronauts) thousands of miles beyond the moon during an approximately three week mission. Then, astronauts will climb into Orion for a similar mission, traveling farther than humans have ever traveled before. Also in the 2020s, we'll send astronauts on a yearlong mission into this deep space proving ground, verifying habitation and testing our readiness for Mars. Earth Independant Demonstrate Entry, Descent, landing and ISRU Conduct robotic round trip with sample return in late 2020s Send humans to orbit Mars in the early 2030s How has Trump changed any of this? On Dec. 11, Trump signed Space Policy Directive 1, a document that shifts U.S. policy, directing NASA to land astronauts on the moon before sending them on to the Red Planet. "This time, we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprint, we will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars," Trump said at the event. President Trump said Thursday that he wanted to "top" President John F. Kennedy's ambitions to send a man to the moon by pursuing a trip to Mars. "We're looking at Mars, by the way," Trump said. "Trying to top [Kennedy]. We're going to get there. It's moving along pretty good. A lot of things have happened ... having to do with that subject. Way ahead of schedule."
