Will dust make interstellar travel impossible? Is Oumuamua unique in its weird cigar-like shape? How many nuclear reactors will we need on the Moon? And in Q&A+, does studying the Universe have no endgame? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.
On June 6th, 2025, the Wall Street Journal released an article titled The Pentagon Disinformation That Fueled America's UFO Mythology: U.S. military fabricated evidence of alien technology and allowed rumors to fester to cover up real secret-weapons programs. On June 11th, 2025, the New York Post followed that article up with an eerily similar video titled BOMBSHELL: Pentagon created fake UFO evidence, promoted false alien stories.Links:

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Hosted by Steve Nerlich. A. Interstellar Travel. There is so much imagined interstellar flitting about in star trek, wars etc, that it seems almost inevitable it will all really happen one day. That is, that we might set off from Earth in the morning and arrive at Alpha Centauri system in time for tea. It's only 4.3 light years away after all. B. Space Colony. A standard theme of science fiction and science forecasting is that we'll establish space colonies one day. This is certainly possible, if not likely, but there are a number of issues to think through. Most importantly, you need energy – so if you are going to build a real space colony that's in space then the Earth – Moon Lagrange points 4 and 5 might be good since they keep pace with the Moon around its Earth orbit and so will get Earth-Moon levels of solar flux. Or you might float a gondola above the clouds of Venus and get even more solar flux – or you might do the traditional thing and build on the surface of a celestial body. The Moon is good for all sorts of reasons, although Mars tends to be where people look to. We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

Interstellar travel, the stuff of sci-fi movies, is starting to feel like it could actually happen! Scientists and engineers are working on crazy new tech, like light sails powered by lasers, to send tiny spacecraft to other stars. Projects like Breakthrough Starshot aim to reach Alpha Centauri, our nearest star system, within a few decades. While it's still early days, the idea of exploring other solar systems isn't as far-fetched as it used to be. This kind of travel could help us learn if there's life out there or even find a new home for humanity. It's like the first steps of a real-life space odyssey!

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop chats with Matthew Gialich, co-founder and CEO of AstroForge, about the fascinating world of asteroid mining. They explore how advances in technology and reduced launch costs are enabling humanity to tap into the untapped resources of metallic asteroids, the challenges of deep space operations, and the long-term vision for making asteroid mining economically viable. Listeners can follow AstroForge for updates on LinkedIn and Twitter, and connect with Matthew directly for inquiries on his LinkedIn or at matt@astroforge.io.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:17 Asteroid Mining: Current Knowledge and Discoveries01:58 Near-Earth Asteroids and Their Potential04:08 The Value of Platinum Group Metals06:21 Spacecraft Operations and Human Involvement11:06 Asteroid Missions and Scientific Discoveries21:38 Economic and Environmental Implications of Space Mining27:04 Collaborating with SpaceX for Asteroid Missions27:42 Challenges and Opportunities in Moon Mining29:20 Navigating Gravity in Space Missions30:09 The Origin Story of Astroforge33:32 Asteroid Mining: Past and Present34:29 The Future of Space Industry and Business38:05 Radiation Challenges in Deep Space40:44 Thermal Management in Spacecraft42:43 Innovations in Robotics and Manufacturing45:37 The Role of Software in Space Startups50:10 Recruiting Top Talent for Astroforge51:37 Knowledge Management and Team Structure52:40 Staying Connected with AstroforgeKey InsightsAsteroid Mining is Becoming Feasible: Advancements in telescope technology and reduced launch costs are paving the way for asteroid mining to transition from science fiction to reality. AstroForge is focused on mining metallic asteroids rich in platinum group metals, which are critical for various industrial applications.Near-Earth Asteroids Offer Better Opportunities: Contrary to Hollywood depictions of mining in the asteroid belt, near-Earth asteroids are more accessible and practical targets for mining. These asteroids are closer to Earth and contain valuable materials, making them ideal for the initial stages of space resource exploitation.The Importance of Platinum Group Metals: Platinum, rhodium, palladium, and other platinum group metals are integral to modern technology, found in everything from electronics to industrial equipment. Mining these materials in space could revolutionize supply chains and reduce the environmental impact of terrestrial mining.The Role of Technology in Exploration: AstroForge uses cutting-edge sensors, spectrometry, and imaging systems to study and identify the best asteroids for mining. These technologies allow for remote analysis of asteroid composition, paving the way for efficient resource extraction missions.Spacecraft Design for Deep Space: AstroForge is designing spacecraft optimized for deep space exploration, which operate in the harsh conditions beyond Earth's gravity well. Challenges like radiation, thermal management, and propulsion systems are central to the company's engineering efforts.Economic and Environmental Impacts of Space Mining: Space mining has the potential to make terrestrial mining for certain materials economically obsolete, reducing environmental damage and the hazardous conditions associated with deep-earth mining operations. The company's vision includes making Earth a better place by shifting resource extraction to space.The Evolution of the Space Industry: The space sector is evolving rapidly, with private companies leading the charge in areas traditionally dominated by government agencies. AstroForge's mission is a testament to this shift, focusing on commercializing deep space exploration and mining with innovative strategies and cost-efficient technologies.

Don't forget to support the show at allthingsunexplained.com and subscribe to our YouTube channel at @allthingsunexplained. Let's celebrate the season together with a touch of mystery and magic.
THIS EPISODE:Join us on All Things Unexplained as we delve into a groundbreaking discussion with Dr. Elizabeth Weiss, a leading anthropologist from San José State University. In this episode, we explore her latest research, "The Study of California's Past is Dead and Reburied," which uncovers the cessation of human skeletal remains studies in California's public universities due to regulatory changes and new laws like AB226 and AB389. Dr. Weiss shares insights into how these changes are not only affecting scientific research but also the teaching of anthropology and archaeology. Discover how these policies are reshaping our understanding of California's prehistoric past and what this means for the future of anthropological studies. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the intersection of science, law, and cultural heritage.ARTICLE: https://journalofcontroversialideas.org/article/4/2/283Anthropology & Beyond with Dr. Elizabeth Weisshttps://youtube.com/live/zusToSQNYMw?feature=shareOn the Warpath https://amzn.to/4f5Dway (small % supports ATU)
THIS EPISODE:Unexplained and unsettling sightings are occurring near sensitive sites across the US and UK, with viral videos and photos sparking widespread alarm. Amid rising global tensions, drone incursions, and UAP activity, a mysterious incident near a nuclear power plant around the North Carolina - South Carolina border raises troubling questions.In this gripping episode, we examine a report of unidentified flying objects maneuvering near this critical facility (Tuesday, November 26, 2024) as one witness shares their firsthand account, including viral footage that has captured national attention.PLUS: never-before-seen photos and videos with what is possibly a new shape of UFOs - UAPs -drones - UAS. Could there be a connection to other alarming events?Adding to the controversy, Congressman Jeff Van Drew has accused an Iranian “mothership” off the East Coast of being behind the region's drone incursions, while the Pentagon blames mass hysteria. Meanwhile, the FBI's evasive responses during the recent Homeland Security hearing only deepen the mystery.Join us as we unravel the chilling implications of UFOs appearing near nuclear installations and explore the broader questions of energy security, global stability, and possible extraterrestrial involvement. This is a conversation you can't afford to miss—one that could forever change how you view the skies above.
