Episode: S05E42 — Wednesday, February 18, 2026 Hosts: Anna & Avery Network: Bitesz.com Podcast Network In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery cover six unmissable stories from across the cosmos. Here's what we're talking about in S05E42: 1. Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal Round Two NASA begins fuelling the SLS moon rocket tomorrow (Feb 19) for a second critical practice countdown. Engineers have replaced two seals and a filter after hydrogen leaks forced the February launch window to be abandoned. A clean test is required before NASA will commit to a launch date — currently no earlier than March 6. The four-person crew includes Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, each of whom will make history on the flight. 2. Moon Occults Mercury Tonight — Plus a Ganymede Transit Tonight, February 18, a thin crescent Moon passes so close to Mercury that observers in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia will see the Moon hide Mercury in a rare occultation. For everyone else, a stunning close conjunction is visible in the western sky just after sunset. Simultaneously, Jupiter's moon Ganymede transits the gas giant's face through the night. Two events, one evening. 3. Ariane 6 Launches Amazon Kuiper Satellites Europe's most powerful Ariane 6 configuration successfully launched 32 satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband constellation today — a direct competitor to SpaceX's Starlink. The launch highlights both the commercial ambitions of Amazon's internet satellite programme and the ongoing resurgence of European launch capability. 4. 3I/ATLAS Update: JUICE Data Downlinking Now ESA's JUICE spacecraft is currently transmitting data it collected on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS back to Earth — the downlink window runs February 18–20. If successful, this would be the closest-ever spacecraft observations of an interstellar object. Meanwhile, 3I/ATLAS heads toward a close Jupiter flyby in March that may trigger fresh outbursts. 5. How Titan Formed — And Why Saturn Has Rings New research from the SETI Institute proposes a single ancient catastrophe that explains multiple Saturn mysteries at once: a moon called proto-Hyperion collided with proto-Titan about 400 million years ago. The merger debris re-accreted into Saturn's inner moons and left behind the iconic ring system. The hypothesis also explains Saturn's unusual axial tilt, Iapetus's orbital inclination, and the surprising youth of Titan's surface. 6. Russia's 30-Day Mars Engine Rosatom's Troitsk Institute is ground-testing a nuclear-powered magnetoplasma engine that its developers claim could reach Mars in 30 days — compared to 8 months for chemical rockets. With a plasma exhaust velocity of 100 km/s, the system is part of a global race toward deep-space plasma propulsion also being pursued by NASA's VASIMR programme and Chinese researchers. A flight prototype is targeted for 2030. Follow & Connect
The countdown is on to 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II, following Nasa's mission to loop around the Moon. We'll have an Artemis II episode every day. Nasa is hoping to return to the Moon for the first time in more than half a century. The story of Artemis II will be told by space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock, British astronaut Tim Peake, and US space journalist Kristin Fisher. Strap yourself in for another epic journey from the BBC's space podcast, 13 Minutes. The Artemis II mission aims to send four astronauts – on a spacecraft called Orion - to loop around the Moon. They plan to go further from Earth than any human in history. Orion's crew is scheduled to be Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. 13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II will begin around two days before the launch.Theme music by Hans Zimmer and Christian Lundberg and produced by Russell Emanuel, for Bleeding Fingers Music.
Fugas de hidrógeno retrasan Artemis IILa misión Artemis II de la NASA se retrasa hasta marzo tras detectar fugas de hidrógeno en una prueba decisiva del cohete lunar.Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoLa misión Artemis II busca llevar astronautas alrededor de la Luna por primera vez en más de cincuenta años. Para lograrlo, la NASA necesita que cada parte del sistema funcione con total precisión antes del despegue. Por eso realiza pruebas largas y complejas, diseñadas para encontrar errores cuando todavía no hay personas a bordo.En una de esas pruebas, realizada a inicios de febrero, volvió a aparecer un problema que ya había causado dolores de cabeza en el pasado: fugas de hidrógeno líquido durante el llenado del cohete. El fallo obligó a detener la cuenta regresiva simulada y a aplazar el lanzamiento, al menos, un mes.Esto genera una pregunta lógica para cualquier oyente: si este problema ya ocurrió hace tres años, ¿por qué vuelve a repetirse ahora? Y más importante aún: ¿qué tan seguro es enviar personas a la Luna con este tipo de contratiempos?El problema no es nuevo, pero el contexto sí cambió.La prueba que falló se llama wet dress rehearsal, algo así como un ensayo general completo. En esta prueba, el cohete se llena con combustible real y se simula toda la cuenta regresiva, desde horas antes del lanzamiento hasta los últimos minutos previos al encendido.El protagonista de esta historia es el Space Launch System, o SLS, el cohete más potente que ha construido la NASA. Funciona con dos combustibles principales: oxígeno líquido e hidrógeno líquido. Este último se mantiene a unos doscientos cincuenta y tres grados bajo cero, una temperatura tan extrema que vuelve frágiles muchos materiales.Durante el ensayo, los tanques del SLS lograron llenarse casi por completo. Ese paso ya es una victoria técnica. Pero cuando el reloj simulado entró en los últimos minutos, los sensores detectaron una acumulación peligrosa de hidrógeno en una conexión entre el cohete y la plataforma de lanzamiento. Por seguridad, el sistema detuvo todo.Para entender el problema hay que hablar del hidrógeno. Es el elemento más pequeño que existe. Sus moléculas son tan diminutas que pueden escaparse por rendijas microscópicas, incluso en sistemas diseñados con enorme cuidado. Además, es muy inflamable. Por eso, cualquier fuga activa protocolos automáticos de seguridad.Este mismo tipo de fuga ocurrió durante Artemis I, la misión sin tripulación lanzada en 2022. En aquel momento, el cohete tuvo que regresar varias veces al edificio de ensamblaje para reparaciones, lo que retrasó el vuelo durante meses.Ahora, con Artemis II, la situación es parecida, pero no idéntica. Cada cohete SLS es prácticamente único. No se fabrican en serie. Además, este cohete fue trasladado desde el edificio de ensamblaje hasta la plataforma recorriendo unos seis kilómetros a menos de dos kilómetros por hora. Durante ese trayecto, las vibraciones pueden afectar sellos y alineaciones. Este es el primer contacto real de este vehículo con combustibles criogénicos, y eso revela comportamientos que no siempre aparecen en pruebas de laboratorio.A diferencia de lo ocurrido en Artemis I, los ingenieros creen que esta vez las reparaciones se pueden hacer directamente en la plataforma de lanzamiento. Eso evita un retroceso mayor en el calendario. El plan ahora es desmontar el sello afectado, analizarlo pieza por pieza y repetir el ensayo completo.Mientras tanto, la tripulación —Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch y el astronauta canadiense Jeremy Hansen— ha salido de la cuarentena médica y continúa entrenando. Ellos volarán dentro de la nave Orion, diseñada para proteger a personas en el espacio profundo durante un viaje de diez días alrededor de la Luna.Esta misión no va a aterrizar. Su función es comprobar que los sistemas de vida, navegación y comunicación funcionan lejos de la Tierra. Todo esto es un paso necesario antes de intentar regresar a la superficie lunar con Artemis III.Estos retrasos también ayudan a entender cómo funciona hoy la exploración espacial. En los años del programa Apolo, los lanzamientos eran frecuentes. Hoy, cada vuelo del SLS ocurre con años de diferencia. Eso significa que cada prueba es casi un reencuentro con sistemas complejos que llevan tiempo sin operar juntos.Las pruebas están diseñadas para fallar en tierra y no en el espacio. Detectar una fuga ahora permite corregirla antes de subir personas al cohete. Desde la perspectiva de la NASA, aplazar un lanzamiento es una decisión responsable.Artemis no es una carrera de velocidad. Es un programa pensado para décadas, con socios internacionales y la idea de una presencia humana sostenida alrededor y sobre la Luna. Cada ensayo, incluso los que terminan en retrasos, aporta información real que no se puede obtener de otra forma.Artemis II se retrasa por fugas de hidrógeno detectadas en una prueba clave. El problema es conocido, complejo y manejable. La misión sigue adelante con más datos y más cautela.Te invitamos a reflexionar sobre estos pasos previos y a seguir Flash Diario en Spotify para entender cómo avanza el regreso humano a la Luna.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.Apoya el Flash Diario y escúchalo sin publicidad en el Club de Supporters.
Canada’s submarine competition heats up between Korea and Germany; a U.S. crime investigation involving Savannah Guthrie’s mother takes place after she goes missing, and evacuations in Kashechewan after a parasite is found; and NASA prepares for a possible Sunday launch as the Artemis crew, including Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, completes key rehearsals.
The Artemis II mission will send four astronauts, including Canadian Jeremy Hansen, on a 10-day trip around the moon and back. It's the first crewed lunar mission in more than 50 years, testing what it really takes for humans and their spacecraft to survive deep space, and setting the stage for the next big leap.
Welcome to Astronomy Daily! Join hosts Anna and Avery as they explore today's most fascinating space and astronomy stories.IN THIS EPISODE:
A Toronto startup recently launched 10 low earth orbit satellites as part of a new commercial satellite network. Meanwhile, a Canadian astronaut is poised to be one of the first to orbit the moon, and new investments are being made in space technology in this country. Chris Hadfield is one of Canada's best known astronauts, the first Canadian to walk in space, commander of the ISS, an engineer, former fighter pilot, musician and a best-selling author. He speaks with host Amanda Lang about why 2026 will be a critical year in space.
Alors que les États-Unis s'apprêtent à renouer concrètement avec l'orbite lunaire, la NASA affine patiemment les contours de son programme Artemis. L'objectif ne se limite plus à planter un drapeau sur la Lune : il s'agit désormais d'y rester. Et rester implique une question centrale, presque triviale sur Terre mais cruciale à 380 000 kilomètres d'ici : comment produire de l'énergie de manière fiable et durable ? Parmi les options étudiées, le nucléaire s'impose de plus en plus comme une solution crédible.L'idée ne date pas d'hier. Depuis plusieurs années, l'agence spatiale américaine travaille sur des systèmes de fission nucléaire capables d'alimenter une ou plusieurs installations lunaires. Mais le calendrier s'est brutalement accéléré en décembre dernier, lorsque Donald Trump a signé un décret relançant officiellement l'ambition lunaire américaine : un retour d'astronautes sur le sol sélène dès 2028, puis l'installation d'un réacteur nucléaire à l'horizon 2030. Un cap politique clair, désormais assorti d'engagements concrets.Le 13 janvier, la NASA a ainsi signé un protocole d'accord avec le Department of Energy. Objectif : coordonner les efforts et tenir ce délai particulièrement ambitieux. Pour Jared Isaacman, administrateur de l'agence, le choix est presque évident : « Pour bâtir des infrastructures durables sur la Lune et préparer le chemin vers Mars, l'énergie nucléaire n'est pas une option parmi d'autres, c'est une nécessité. » Contrairement au solaire, dépendant de cycles jour-nuit extrêmes et de longues éclipses, un réacteur à fission peut fournir une électricité stable, continue, pendant des années, sans ravitaillement.Cette course énergétique lunaire ne se joue pas en solitaire. La Chine affiche des ambitions comparables et prévoit elle aussi une base lunaire alimentée par un réacteur nucléaire. Pékin a déjà annoncé plusieurs missions préparatoires, dont une étape clé programmée dès cette année, signe que la compétition technologique et stratégique s'intensifie. Côté américain, l'échéance se rapproche. Dans les prochaines semaines, les astronautes Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman et Christina Koch embarqueront à bord du vaisseau Orion pour une mission de dix jours autour de la Lune. Un vol sans alunissage, mais hautement symbolique : il servira de répétition générale avant le retour officiel de l'humanité sur la surface lunaire. Hébergé par Acast.

Whether it's through sheer luck or hard work, you've been handed an opportunity you've maybe only dreamed of. What do you do with it?Actor Feaven Abera has been hustling in the industry since she was 17 years old. She remembers taking jobs to pay for acting classes, commuting from Hamilton to Toronto and back for auditions and student films, and sometimes coming up short on bus fare. At 25, she was ready to call it quits, until a phone call changed everything.When Joey Gibbs spotted a lost stuffed bunny at the Vancouver airport, he decided it needed to go on an adventure of a lifetime too before being reunited with the owners.On a whim, Amanda Buhse entered her name to be a seat filler at the Emmys. When she got the call, she had less than 24 hours to get from Winnipeg to LA and be camera ready to rub elbows with the stars on TV.Edith Lemay, Sebastian Pelletier and their four children have swam with dolphins in Indonesia, sailed high above Cappadocia in a hot air balloon, and jumped into ancient lakes in Mongolia. But this epic around-the-world-adventure is more than just fun - they're also trying to create 'visual memories' before three of their kids lose their eyesight permanently. What do you pack to take to space? How do you handle the fear? And how do you prepare your family to watch you blast off? Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen gets personal ahead of his mission to the moon.
Next stop - the moon! Jeremy Hansen stops by our studio to chat about how he's prepping to be the first Canadian to go to the moon.Plus:Santa's reindeer may be losing their antlers –– and climate change could be the culpritReindeer are the only animal in the deer family where the females also grow antlers, and they typically have a full rack over the wintertime and drop them in June when they give birth. University of Guelph PhD student Allegra Love was monitoring reindeer on Fogo Island in Newfoundland, when she made a surprising discovery that female reindeer are losing and growing their antlers much earlier than usual. This can put more stress on the animal during a crucial part of their pregnancy, and the researchers think this could eventually lead to the reindeer losing their antlers altogether. The work was published in the journal Ecosphere.Pterosaur brains reveal clues about why these mighty fliers took to the skiesFlight has only evolved among vertebrates three times — in bats, birds, and first in pterosaurs. How pterosaurs first took to the skies was always a mystery to scientists, until the discovery of a fossilized 230-million year old pterosaur relative in Brazil. An international team, including Ohio University professor Lawrence Witmer, used an MRI for detailed analysis of the fossilized skull, to pinpoint the miniscule brain changes that happened as the animal developed the capacity to fly. The research was published in the journal Current Biology.Scientists are using AI to find life in 3 billion year old rocksEarth's earliest signs of life are often incredibly difficult to detect. An international team of researchers have developed a new tool that uses AI to find “whispers” of life locked inside ancient rocks. Using this tool, the researchers, including astrobiologist Michael Wong from Carnegie Science, were able to detect fresh chemical evidence of life in rocks that are 3.3 billion years old. This tool can not only be used to explore the origins of life here on Earth, but also on Mars and other planetary bodies. The work was published in the journal PNAS.

Cuatro astronautas viajarán en la misión Artemis 2 de la NASA en 2026, primera tripulación en orbitar la Luna en 50 años Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Artemis 2 será la primera misión tripulada a la Luna desde 1972. La NASA quiere enviarla entre febrero y abril de 2026. Viajarán tres astronautas de Estados Unidos y uno de Canadá. Será un vuelo de 10 días en la nave Orion para orbitar la Luna sin descender. Esta misión probará sistemas de seguridad y recogerá datos que permitirán aterrizar en la superficie con Artemis 3. La NASA busca adelantarse a China en esta nueva carrera espacial. ¿Qué significa regresar después de medio siglo y por qué ahora sí quieren quedarse? Han pasado más de cinco décadas desde que Neil Armstrong dio el primer paso en la Luna. Desde entonces, ningún ser humano ha vuelto a viajar tan lejos. Ahora, la NASA se prepara para Artemis 2, un vuelo tripulado que orbitará nuestro satélite entre febrero y abril de 2026. Será un viaje de 10 días con cuatro astronautas: tres estadounidenses y un canadiense. La misión no aterrizará, pero pondrá a prueba la nave Orion y el cohete SLS, esenciales para futuros viajes. Esta misión también es parte de una competencia global: China tiene previsto alunizar con su propio programa antes de 2030. ¿Estamos entrando en una nueva carrera lunar? Artemis es el nombre que la NASA eligió para su programa lunar. Se llama así por la diosa griega de la Luna, hermana gemela de Apolo. El nombre conecta directamente con el recuerdo de los viajes Apolo de los años sesenta y setenta. Artemis 1, en 2022, fue la primera prueba: un vuelo no tripulado que verificó el funcionamiento del cohete SLS y la cápsula Orion. Aunque hubo fallas en el escudo térmico, los ingenieros corrigieron los problemas. Ahora Artemis 2 será la primera misión con humanos. Durante 10 días, la tripulación practicará maniobras de comunicación, verificará sistemas de soporte vital y observará la Luna desde órbita. No habrá alunizaje, pero este paso es indispensable para que Artemis 3, planeada para 2027, ponga de nuevo pies humanos sobre la superficie lunar. El regreso humano a la Luna no ocurre en un vacío científico. Tiene un fuerte componente geopolítico. En los años sesenta la competencia fue con la Unión Soviética. Hoy la rivalidad es con China, que avanza con rapidez. Pekín ha diseñado un plan claro: usar su nave Mengzhou para orbitar la Luna, un módulo llamado Lanyue para descender y un cohete CZ-10 para lanzar estas piezas al espacio. Planea probar ese cohete en 2027 y enviar su primera misión tripulada con alunizaje antes de 2030. Además, han desarrollado el traje Wanu y un explorador lunar llamado Tano para dar movilidad a sus astronautas. Todo esto muestra que China quiere establecer presencia en el satélite, no como visita breve, sino como primer paso hacia bases permanentes. Estados Unidos no quiere perder la delantera, pero la presión por llegar primero genera tensiones dentro de la NASA: algunos funcionarios han advertido que acelerar puede poner en riesgo la seguridad de los astronautas. ¿Vale más la política que la vida humana? La NASA insiste en que Artemis 2 será segura. Tras las fallas de Artemis 1, los ingenieros cambiaron la trayectoria de reentrada para reducir el estrés en el escudo térmico. Los cuatro astronautas —Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch y Jeremy Hansen— han entrenado años para enfrentar cualquier emergencia, desde un corte de comunicaciones hasta fallas en motores o problemas de salud en pleno vuelo. El plan es que Artemis 2 demuestre que la cápsula Orion y el cohete SLS están listos para misiones más largas. Mientras tanto, el calendario aprieta: China se prepara para su propio alunizaje con el CZ-10 antes de 2030. Si Artemis 2 sale bien, Estados Unidos podría mantener la ventaja con Artemis 3 en 2027, donde sí habrá descenso. Pero lo más importante es que ambas potencias están pensando en lo mismo: establecer bases permanentes en la Luna que servirán como plataformas de lanzamiento hacia Marte. Esa visión cambia por completo el sentido de la exploración espacial. El valor de Artemis 2 no se mide solo en lo que haga en órbita lunar. La nave llevará experimentos médicos para estudiar cómo el espacio profundo afecta a los astronautas: se tomarán muestras de sangre y saliva para medir hormonas, densidad ósea y masa muscular. Además, los astronautas vivirán diez días en un espacio muy reducido, equivalente al de una furgoneta grande, lo que servirá para evaluar efectos psicológicos del aislamiento. Orion también llevará chips biológicos llamados AVATARs, con tejidos humanos en miniatura para analizar los efectos de la radiación cósmica. Mientras tanto, China planea que su módulo Lanyue permita estancias cortas en la superficie, con la ayuda del explorador Tano. Allí buscarán agua, analizarán el suelo y probarán nuevas tecnologías. Estados Unidos apuesta por ir paso a paso, primero orbitando y luego alunizando. China, en cambio, busca llegar directo al objetivo: un alunizaje en menos de cinco años. Esta diferencia de estrategias muestra que el siglo XXI tendrá una Luna compartida, donde la cooperación o la competencia decidirán el futuro. Artemis 2 será el primer viaje tripulado a la Luna en más de 50 años. Aunque no habrá alunizaje, será la base para futuros asentamientos lunares. China también prepara su llegada con la nave Mengzhou, el módulo Lanyue y el cohete CZ-10 antes de 2030. El futuro de la Luna ya no es ciencia ficción: será escenario de cooperación o competencia. Te invito a seguir y comentar este pódcast en Flash Diario. En 2026 Artemis 2 orbitará la Luna. China prepara su propio alunizaje antes de 2030 con nuevas naves, trajes y exploradores.
Reid Wiseman, die bevelvoerder van Artemis II, Nasa se volgende sending na die maan, sê dat hy en sy bemanning dinge sal sien wat geen mens nog ooit gesien het nie. Wiseman het op 'n nuuskonferensie in die Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, gesê dat sy ruimtetuig waarskynlik oor groot dele van die maan sal vlieg wat vorige Apollo-sendings nog nooit gekarteer het nie. Nasa sê dit hoop dat dit in Februarie 2026 die eerste bemande sending na die maan in 50 jaar sal kan loods. Die ander bemanningslede is die vlieënier Victor J. Glover en sendingspesialiste Christina Koch en Jeremy Hansen.

Wrestling 14-foot 'dinosaurs' to figure out why they're dyingDr. Madison Earhart, a postdoctoral fellow from the University of British Columbia, spent her summer fishing for enormous white sturgeon in the Fraser and Nechako Rivers in British Columbia. Since 2022, there have been a large number of deaths of this fish along the west coast of North America and it's concerning when a species that's been around for hundreds of million years suddenly starts dying off. She and her colleagues are trying to figure out what's happening and how to conserve this important and spectacular fish.Installing Dark Matter detectors two kilometeres undergroundDr. Madeleine Zurowski of the University of Toronto has been underground most of this past summer at SNOLAB, located in Sudbury, Ontario. She's been helping install specially designed dark matter detectors in a project called SuperCDMS, as part of an international collaboration that is researching the nature of dark matter. Managing Canada's worst invasive plant with mothsAs Director of the Waterloo Wetland Laboratory, Dr. Rebecca Rooney has been investigating how to stop the spread of a plant called invasive Phragmites, which chokes wetlands, ditches and many other environments. Her group has introduced European moths which eat the plant. This summer PhD student Claire Schon and lab technician Ryan Graham went into the field to collect some more data on their project.Helicoptering in 35 tonnes of material in an attempt to restore a Sudbury peatland Scientists are working to restore a degraded peatland damaged by contamination from mining activity in Sudbury. Colin McCarter, the project lead from Nipissing University, described how they're trying to figure out how to best restore these toxic metal-contaminated landscapes to restore their natural capacity as wildfire-buffering, carbon-storing powerhoues. Transatlantic balloon flight from Sweden to NunavutDr Kaley Walker is an atmospheric physicist from the University of Toronto. Working with the Canadian Space Agency, this summer she was in Sweden to send a massive balloon — 30 stories tall and 800,000 cubic meters in volume — on a high-altitude transatlantic flight to Nunavut, to measure stratospheric gases.The accidental discovery of an ancient Roman monument's missing limbDr. Sarah Murray is the co-director of an archeological project on the history of Porto Rafti, Greece. While surveying for Bronze Age relics, her team discovered an enormous missing limb from a famous Roman marble statue in the area, a monument popular with tourists for centuries. This summer, they returned with drones to make 3D models of the statue, to understand how the arm was attached to the statue's now limbless torso.Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen gets lunar geology training in IcelandAstronauts assigned to NASA's Artemis II mission, who'll be heading to the moon as early as September 2025, embarked on their own field research this summer in Iceland to train as lunar geologists. CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen documented his adventure and filled us in on why this training is crucial for their upcoming mission.Building wildfire resistant housingAfter wildfires devastated Lytton, BC in 2021, the government announced that they were going to support homeowners to rebuild homes that would be resistant to wildfire. Senior Engineer Lucas Coletta of Natural Resources Canada, was part of the team that tested various fire resilient materials and construction methods this past spring and summer.
Jeremy Hansen, he's going to the Moon! He will be the first Canadian astronaut to leave Earth's orbit and go to the Moon on Artemis II next September. Join John Gomez with an exclusive About Space Today interview.

Koskaan aikaisemmin ei kiinnostus Kuuta kohtaan ole ollut näin korkealla. Kuuhun on lähetetty viime vuosina peräti kymmenen luotainta ja laskeutujaa, yksi on parhaillaan matkalla ja tekeillä on yli 30 uutta lentoa Kuun luokse tai sen pinnalle. Ihmiset ovat käyneet Kuussa vain kuusi kertaa, eikä kukaan ole käynyt sen lähelläkään sitten joulukuun 1972. Mistä vuosikymmenien hiljaiselo on oikein johtunut? Nyt Yhdysvaltain vetämä kansainväinen Artemis-hanke on kuitenkin viemässä ihmisiäkin takaisin Kuun pinnalle. Ensimmäinen miehitetty lento on lähdössä joulukuussa 2024. Pienessä aluksessa Kuuta kiertämään lähtevät yhdysvaltalaiset Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover ja Christina Koch sekä kanadalainen Jeremy Hansen.He kertovat tässä Tiedeykkösessä tulevasta lennostaan ja valmistautumisesta siihen. Mukana ohjelmassa on myös saksalaisastronautti Alexander Gerst, joka saattaa hyvinkin olla ensimmäinen eurooppalainen kuulentäjä. Nasan kuualuksesta vastaava johtaja Howard Hu puolestaan kertoo miten viime vuonna tehty koelento sujui ja miten Orion-nimistä kapselia varustetaan tulevia ihmislentoja varten. Ohjelman toimittaa Jari Mäkinen.
Come along for the big moments Canadians are experiencing around the world right now. He used to be a DJ at The Moose radio station in small-town Smithers, BC. Today, Dancin' Wayne hypes up tens of thousands of soccer fans as a World Cup stadium host, energizing crowds with his breakdancing, chanting, and hot-pink suits. When Stephen and Sara Cole decided to sell their home in Fergus, Ontario, they knew they wanted something different -- but they never dreamed they'd end up with an 11-bedroom, 6300 square foot chateau in Southwestern France. Or the upkeep that comes along with it. #chateauproblems News headlines, social media posts, and messages in the family group chat carry Lima Al-Azzeh, a Palestinian-Canadian living in Vancouver, straight into Gaza. What do you pack to take to space? How do you handle the fear? And how do you prepare your family to watch you blast off? Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen gets personal ahead of his moon mission next November. And ten years after a life-changing car accident left Jen Schuringa with a traumatic brain injury that impacts her ability to move voluntarily and speak, she and a group of family and friends take on Spain's Camino de Santiago.

Space Nerd Elizabeth Howell returns to No Nonsense with the latest moon mission - and why astronaut Jeremy Hansen became Canada's man with the right stuff.
This episode was originally broadcast April 18, 2023. Guest: Jeremy Hansen, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Col. Jeremy Hansen, a CAF fighter pilot and Canadian Space Agency astronaut, has been named to NASA's Artemis II mission, the first scheduled crewed mission of the Space Launch System with the Orion spacecraft. It will leave Earth's orbit and perform a lunar flyby, the first time people have travelled by the moon since Apollo 17 in 1972 and the first time a Canadian has reached deep space. It's an ambitious flight, an assignment he says he is still getting his head around as he pulls from all of his experiences to prepare. Why should this mission get Canada's attention and why is it important? What is Canada doing in space? The rookie space flyer explains. This episode was produced by Raju Mudhar, Brian Bradley and Paulo Marques. Audio sources: NASA

In November 2024, astronaut Jeremy Hansen will take one giant leap for both space exploration and his country, Canada. He will be the first non-American to fly to the moon. Hansen has been selected as one of the four crew members of Artemis II - the NASA-led mission to send humans to and around the moon for the first time in more than fifty years. In the first episode of Next Giant Leap, a podcast produced in partnership between GZERO Media and the space company MDA, Jeremy Hansen tells host Kevin Fong why he believes humanity needs to return to the moon and how a successful Artemis 2 flight will pave the way for the first attempt to land two people on the lunar surface since the Apollo era. Jeremy Hansen is candid about the risks which he and his crewmates will be taking on their historic ten-day mission. He's also philosophical about the long wait he has had for his first opportunity to voyage into space.

The upcoming Artemis II mission promises a lunar spectacle unlike any we've seen before, and it's all thanks to some groundbreaking laser technology. Launching aboard the Orion spacecraft from NASA's Space Launch System rocket in November 2024, the mission is set to ferry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen on a ten-day round trip that'll venture beyond the moon. The landmark mission will feature the revolutionary Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O), marking the first time a crewed lunar flight will make use of advanced laser communications technology. The O2O system is designed to transmit high-definition images and video of the lunar surface back to Earth at an unprecedented downlink rate of up to 260 megabits per second. This significant leap from the grainy footage captured during the Apollo missions half a century ago could provide us with real-time, high-definition views of the moon.

An Open Letter Asks AI Researchers To Reconsider Responsibilities In recent months, it's been hard to escape hearing about artificial intelligence platforms such as ChatGPT, the AI-enabled version of Bing, and Google's Bard—large language models skilled at manipulating words and constructing text. The programs can conduct a believable conversation and answer questions fluently, but have a tenuous grasp on what's real, and what's not. Last week, the Future of Life Institute released an open letter that read “We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.” They asked researchers to jointly develop and implement a set of shared safety protocols governing the use of AI. That letter was signed by a collection of technologists and computer researchers, including big names like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Tesla's Elon Musk. However, some observers called the letter just another round of hype over the AI field. Dr. Stuart Russell, a professor of computer science at Berkeley, director of the Kavli Center for Ethics, Science, and the Public, and co-author of one of the leading AI textbooks was a signatory to that open letter calling for a pause in AI development. He joins Ira Flatow to explain his concerns about AI systems that are ‘black boxes'—difficult for humans to understand or control. NASA Announces Artemis II Crew For Next Moon Mission This week, NASA announced the four person crew of the Artemis II mission to the moon: Commander Reid Weisman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen. The crew has three firsts for a moon mission, the first woman, first person of color and first Canadian. While these Artemis II astronauts will not actually step foot on the moon, it's an important milestone for NASA's first moon mission since Apollo. Ira talks with Swapna Krishna, host of the PBS digital series, Far Out about this week's announcement and the future of the Artemis mission. Will Rising Temperatures Help Batters Swing for the Bleachers? As the planet warms, melting ice and shifting seasons aren't the only things changing—the traditions of baseball may be affected as well. A report published this week in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society finds that warmer air temperatures are connected to a slight increase in the number of home runs hit in major league baseball. The effect, the researchers say, is due to a decrease in air density at warmer temperatures, which allows a hit ball to fly slightly further than it would in cooler air. So far, the effect is small. After correcting for other factors, the researchers say they can attribute about 500 additional MLB home runs since 2010 to warmer temperatures. Most of the observed increase in home run hitting isn't attributable to the climate. However, they say, each additional one degree Celsius increase in temperature may lead to a two percent increase in home runs. And while ballparks with an insulating dome won't see big shifts from increased temperatures, open-air parks with a lot of daytime games, such as Wrigley Field, will see more significant effects. Christopher Callahan, a Ph.D. candidate in geography at Dartmouth and lead author of the report, joins Ira to talk baseball and climate. This Video Game Prioritizes Restoring An Ecosystem Over Profits If you've played Rollercoaster Tycoon, Cities: Skylines, the Civilization series—even Animal Crossing—you're probably familiar with this gameplay pattern: extract some kind of resource from the land, industrialize it into a theme park or a city, and (step three) profit, ad infinitum. But Terra Nil, a new game from the studio Free Lives, fundamentally challenges this oft-used game loop. Instead of maximizing profit at the expense of the local ecosystem, the player's focus is to make a healthier, natural one instead. You start with a barren wasteland (one that you assume has been completely desolated by human activity, perhaps the aftermath from one of the previously mentioned games), and with the help of advanced eco-tech—like wind turbines, soil purifiers, irrigators, and more—restore it to a thriving, diverse ecosystem. The player's ultimate goal is to take all the tech they used to restore the land, recycle it into an airship, and fly away, leaving no human presence behind. SciFri producer D Peterschmidt speaks with Sam Alfred, the lead designer and programmer of Terra Nil, about how Free Lives designed this “reverse city-builder,” how the studio took inspiration from the flora of their local Cape Town, and how he hopes the game challenges players how they think about traditional gameplay systems and their effect on our world. Workout Worms May Reveal New Parkinson's Treatments Scientists built an exercise pool for tiny worms. Why? A team of researchers at University of Colorado Boulder are looking into ways to help treat people with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. They're turning to tiny collaborators, C. elegans, worms which measure just one millimeter in length. These scientists wanted to see how exercise affects brain health by putting a bunch of these worms in an exercise class—in a tiny pool. Ira talks with the co-author of this fascinating new research, Dr. Joyita Bhadra, post-doctoral researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
Republican supporters made grand entrances at the former president's grievance-filled speech at Mar-a-Lago following his arrest, and Stephen can't get enough of the trailer NASA released to introduce the crew of the Artemis II moon mission.
