Podcast appearances and mentions of Jessica Meir

Cuatro astronautas ya están en la Estación Espacial Internacional tras la primera evacuación médica en 65 años. La misión Crew-12 marca un momento delicado y simbólico para la exploración humana.Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoTripulación Crew-12 llega a la Estación Espacial tras evacuación médica histórica de la NASALa Estación Espacial Internacional vuelve a estar completa. Este sábado 14 de febrero, cuatro nuevos astronautas llegaron al laboratorio orbital que gira a unos 400 kilómetros sobre la Tierra. Viajaron a bordo de una cápsula Dragon impulsada por un cohete Falcon 9 de SpaceX. Su llegada ocurre después de un hecho poco común: en enero, la NASA tuvo que evacuar a un astronauta por un problema de salud. Fue la primera vez en 65 años de vuelos espaciales humanos que una misión se acortó por razones médicas. Durante un mes, la estación funcionó con solo tres tripulantes. ¿Qué pasó allá arriba y qué va a cambiar ahora con esta nueva misión?Pero hay un detalle que inquieta.La misión se llama Crew-12. Está formada por Jessica Meir y Jack Hathaway, de la NASA; Sophie Adenot, de la Agencia Espacial Europea; y Andrei Fedyaev, de la agencia rusa Roscosmos. Despegaron el viernes 13 de febrero desde Cabo Cañaveral, en Florida, y tardaron unas 34 horas en alcanzar la Estación Espacial Internacional.Cuando la cápsula se acopló, a las 20:15 GMT del sábado, Sophie Adenot saludó con un “Bonjour” desde el espacio. Dos horas después, se abrieron las escotillas. Ya eran siete personas flotando dentro de una estructura del tamaño de un campo de fútbol que orbita la Tierra a unos 28.000 kilómetros por hora.Durante el último mes, la estación operó con solo tres astronautas: un estadounidense y dos rusos. La NASA decidió pausar caminatas espaciales y reducir algunos experimentos mientras esperaba refuerzos. Ahora, con siete tripulantes, la actividad científica se va a normalizar.Todo comenzó el 7 de enero. Uno de los astronautas de la misión anterior presentó un problema de salud que la NASA describió como serio. Por privacidad médica, la agencia no reveló su identidad ni la naturaleza del incidente. La decisión fue traer de regreso a los cuatro integrantes de esa misión más de un mes antes de lo previsto.La cápsula amerizó en el Pacífico, cerca de San Diego. Pasaron su primera noche en un hospital antes de volver a Houston. Mientras tanto, la estación quedó con una tripulación reducida. Aunque no hubo emergencias técnicas, sí se limitaron actividades. En un entorno donde cada tarea está programada al minuto, perder cuatro personas altera toda la logística.Y aquí surge la pregunta: si las misiones van a ser más largas, incluso hacia la Luna o Marte, ¿qué va a pasar cuando haya un problema médico y no exista la opción de regresar en pocas horas?La NASA decidió no modificar los chequeos médicos previos al lanzamiento de Crew-12. Tampoco añadió equipos médicos extra. Confía en los protocolos actuales. Pero al mismo tiempo, reconoce que la medicina espacial necesita evolucionar.La nueva tripulación no solo va a retomar experimentos pendientes. También va a probar tecnologías médicas pensadas para viajes más lejanos. Por ejemplo, un sistema de ultrasonido que usa inteligencia artificial y realidad aumentada para guiar al propio astronauta durante el examen, sin depender tanto de expertos en la Tierra.Van a ensayar un filtro que convierte agua potable en líquido apto para uso intravenoso en emergencias. También estudiarán cómo la microgravedad afecta el flujo sanguíneo y la formación de coágulos en las venas del cuello.Jessica Meir, quien ya pasó 205 días en órbita en 2019 y participó en la primera caminata espacial femenina junto a Christina Koch, ahora regresa como comandante. Y hay un detalle interesante: Christina Koch está asignada a la misión Artemis II, que podría despegar hacia la Luna a partir del 3 de marzo si las pruebas del cohete Space Launch System avanzan sin más fugas de hidrógeno.Mientras la estación recibe nuevos tripulantes, en Florida se siguen reemplazando sellos y haciendo pruebas de combustible para el programa lunar. Todo está conectado: lo que ocurre hoy en órbita baja va a influir en cómo la humanidad regrese a la Luna y, más adelante, intente llegar a Marte.La Estación Espacial Internacional lleva más de 25 años habitada de forma continua. Es uno de los proyectos de ingeniería más costosos jamás construidos, con una inversión estimada entre 150.000 y 160.000 millones de dólares a lo largo de su vida útil.Está previsto que en 2030 la estación sea desorbitada de forma controlada y caiga en una zona remota del océano Pacífico. Crew-12 será una de las últimas tripulaciones que vivan allí durante varios meses.Sophie Adenot se convierte en la segunda mujer francesa en viajar al espacio, después de Claudie Haigneré en la década de 1990. Para la Agencia Espacial Europea, esta misión llamada εpsilon será la más larga realizada por uno de sus astronautas hasta ahora, con hasta nueve meses en órbita.La cooperación internacional sigue siendo uno de los pilares de la estación. A pesar de tensiones políticas en la Tierra, Estados Unidos, Europa y Rusia continúan trabajando juntos en órbita. Desde las ventanas de la estación no se ven fronteras. Esa frase la repiten muchos astronautas, y vuelve a cobrar sentido en un momento en el que el proyecto se acerca a su final.La Estación Espacial Internacional vuelve a tener siete tripulantes después de una evacuación médica histórica. Crew-12 va a retomar la ciencia y probar nuevas herramientas médicas para misiones más lejanas. La exploración espacial entra en una etapa de transición. ¿Estamos preparados para cuidar la salud humana lejos de casa? Te leo en comentarios y sigue el pódcast en Flash Diario.

durée : 00:19:36 - Journal de 12h30 - Elle a pris son envol pour un long voyage. Sophie Adenot a décollé ce matin direction la Station spatiale internationale. Dans une fusée de SpaceX, accompagnée de deux Américains de la NASA, Jessica Meir et Jack Hathaway, et d'un Russe de Roscosmos, Andreï Fediaïev.

Sophie Adenot vient de s'envoler pour la Station spatiale internationale (ISS). Avec l'Américaine Jessica Meir, elles sont les 65ème et 66ème femmes à quitter la Terre pour son orbite, contre plus de 500 hommes. La conquête spatiale ne s'est déclinée au féminin que petit à petit et il y a encore beaucoup à faire car seulement 11 % des astronautes sont des femmes, selon l'ONU. L'astronaute de réserve Meganne Christian, recrutée par l'ESA en 2022 dans la même promotion que Sophie Adenot, nous raconte la place des femmes dans les programmes spatiaux, la réalité des entraînements et comment l'ingénieure spécialiste des nanomatériaux qu'elle est était a été sélectionnée parmi 22 523 candidatures pour rejoindre ce programme d'élite.

Rymdinvesteringarna slår rekord. Att det går så fort just nu beror på ett paradigmskifte, skapat av bland annat Elon Musk och hans rymdbolag SpaceX, som kraftigt sänkt kostnaderna för att skicka upp satelliter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ny rymdkapplöpning”Rymden har blivit mycket mer tillgänglig”, säger Tobias Edman, ansvarig för rymdteknik på RISE. Tidigare var det i princip bara statliga organisationer som hade råd, men nu har dörrarna till rymden öppnats för en lång rad privata initiativ och bolag.Rymden – en åttonde kontinentFörutom internet och kommunikation används satelliter för att samla in data om jorden och för att förbättra bland annat logistik, jordbruk och försvar. ”Jag ser rymden som en åttonde kontinent”, säger Dylan Taylor, ordförande och vd för Voyager Space Holdings. Utopin är att jorden blir ”som en nationalpark”, säger han.Rekordmånga satelliter i omlopp – och de blir allt flerFörra året skickades det upp fler satelliter än vad det gjort totalt dittills i historien. Majoriteten av dem tillhör SpaceX och internetleverantören Starlink. Men även kinesiska aktörer, och bolag som Amazon och Oneweb satsar stort.Solcelllsdrivna datacenterNästa stora steg är solcellsdrivna datacenter uppe i rymden. ”Det finns så mycket utrymme där, man kan skala upp enormt”, säger Elon Musk, som slagit ihop sina bolag SpaceX och XAI och siktar på en börsnotering senare i år.Säkerhetsläget driver påMen även säkerhetsläget och USA:s svalnande intresse för att vara världspolis driver på. ”Teknisk sett står sig Sverige bra som rymdnation. Fokus har varit att ta fram bra och avancerade produkter, däremot har fokus inte varit på kommersialisering som det varit i USA”, säger Tobias Edman. Men det håller på att ändras nu.Försvarsbolag växer i rymdenSaab satsar allt mer på rymden. ”Saab är ett av få bolag i värden som har kompetens inom alla militära domäner, och rymden är väldigt viktig för oss”, säger Marcus Wandt, astronaut och teknik- och strategichef på Saab.RaketartatÄven civila bolag får en skjuts av det försämrade säkerhetsläget och det ökade behovet av motståndskraftig infrastruktur och kommunikation. Utvecklingen går fort, säger Fredrik Schäder på Arctic Space. ”Det är raketartat”. Ny besättning till Internationella rymdstationen ISSI veckan skickades en ny besättning till rymdstationen ISS, med hjälp av en raket från SpaceX. Med ombord är svensk-amerikanska astronauten Jessica Meir.Programledare och producent:Hanna MalmodinMedverkande och röster i programmet:Tobias Edman, ansvarig för rymdteknik RISEKnut Kainz Rognerud, ekonomikommentator EkotFredrik Schäder, medgrundare Arctic Space TechnologiesMarcus Wandt, strategi- och teknikchef Saab Dylan Taylor, ordf och vd Voyager Space HoldingsElon Musk, vd SpaceXekonomiekotextra@sverigesradio.se

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,China's spacefaring ambitions pose tough competition for America. With a focused, centralized program, Beijing seems likely to land taikonauts on the moon before another American flag is planted. Meanwhile, NASA faces budget cuts, leadership gaps, and technical setbacks. In his new book, journalist Christian Davenport chronicles the fierce rivalry between American firms, mainly SpaceX and Blue Origin. It's a contest that, despite the challenges, promises to propel humanity to the moon, Mars, and maybe beyond.Davenport is an author and a reporter for the Washington Post, where he covers NASA and the space industry. His new book, Rocket Dreams: Musk, Bezos, and the Inside Story of the New, Trillion-Dollar Space Race, is out now.In This Episode* Check-in on NASA (1:28)* Losing the Space Race (5:49)* A fatal flaw (9:31)* State of play (13:33)* The long-term vision (18:37)* The pace of progress (22:50)* Friendly competition (24:53)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation. Check-in on NASA (1:28)The Chinese tend to do what they say they're going to do on the timeline that they say they're going to do it. That said, they haven't gone to the moon . . . It's really hard.Pethokoukis: As someone — and I'm speaking about myself — who wants to get America back to the moon as soon as possible, get cooking on getting humans to Mars for the first time, what should I make of what's happening at NASA right now?They don't have a lander. I'm not sure the rocket itself is ready to go all the way, we'll find out some more fairly soon with Artemis II. We have flux with leadership, maybe it's going to not be an independent-like agency anymore, it's going to join the Department of Transportation.It all seems a little chaotic. I'm a little worried. Should I be?Davenport: Yes, I think you should be. And I think a lot of the American public isn't paying attention and they're going to see the Artemis II mission, which you mentioned, and that's that mission to send a crew of astronauts around the moon. It won't land on the moon, but it'll go around, and I think if that goes well, NASA's going to take a victory leap. But as you correctly point out, that is a far cry from getting astronauts back on the lunar surface.The lander isn't ready. SpaceX, as acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy just said, is far behind, reversing himself from like a month earlier when he said no, they appear to be on track, but everybody knew that they were well behind because they've had 11 test flights, and they still haven't made it to orbit with their Starship rocket.The rocket itself that's going to launch them into the vicinity of the moon, the SLS, launches about once every two years. It's incredibly expensive, it's not reusable, and there are problems within the agency itself. There are deep cuts to it. A lot of expertise is taking early retirements. It doesn't have a full-time leader. It hasn't had a full-time leader since Trump won the election. At the same time, they're sort of beating the drum saying we're going to beat the Chinese back to the lunar surface, but I think a lot of people are increasingly looking at that with some serious concern and doubt.For what it's worth, when I looked at the betting markets, it gave the Chinese a two-to-one edge. It said that it was about a 65 percent chance they were going to get there first. Does that sound about right to you?I'm not much of a betting man, but I do think there's a very good chance. The Chinese tend to do what they say they're going to do on the timeline that they say they're going to do it. That said, they haven't gone to the moon, they haven't done this. It's really hard. They're much more secretive, if they have setbacks and delays, we don't necessarily know about them. But they've shown over the last 10, 20 years how capable they are. They have a space station in low earth orbit. They've operated a rover on Mars. They've gone to the far side of the moon twice, which nobody has done, and brought back a sample return. They've shown the ability to keep people alive in space for extended periods of times on the space station.The moon seems within their capabilities and they're saying they're going to do it by 2030, and they don't have the nettlesome problem of democracy where you've got one party come in and changing the budget, changing the direction for NASA, changing leadership. They've just set the moon — and, by the way, the south pole of the moon, which is where we want to go as well — as the destination and have been beating a path toward that for several years now.Is there anyone for merging NASA into the Department of Transportation? Is there a hidden reservoir? Is that an idea people have been talking about now that's suddenly emerged to the surface?It's not something that I particularly heard. The FAA is going to regulate the launches, and they coordinate with the airspace and make sure that the air traffic goes around it, but I think NASA has a particular expertise. Rocket science is rocket science — it's really difficult. This isn't for the faint of heart.I think a lot of people look at human space flight and it's romanticized. It's romanticized in books and movies and in popular culture, but the fact of the matter is it's really, really hard, it's really dangerous, every time a human being gets on one of those rockets, there's a chance of an explosion, of something really, really bad happening, because a million things have to go right in order for them to have a successful flight. The FAA does a wonderful job managing — or, depending on your point of view, some people don't think they do such a great job, but I think space is a whole different realm, for sure.Losing the Space Race (5:49). . . the American flags that the Apollo astronauts planted, they're basically no longer there anymore. . . There are, however, two Chinese flags on the moonHave you thought about what it will look like the day after, in this country, if China gets to the moon first and we have not returned there yet?Actually, that's a scenario I kind of paint out. I've got this new book called Rocket Dreams and we talk about the geopolitical tensions in there. Not to give too much of a spoiler, but NASA has said that the first person to return to the moon, for the US, is going to be a woman. And there's a lot of people thinking, who could that be? It could be Jessica Meir, who is a mother and posted a picture of herself pregnant and saying, “This is what an astronaut looks like.” But it could very well be someone like Wang Yaping, who's also a mother, and she came back from one of her stays on the International Space Station and had a message for her daughter that said, “I come back bringing all the stars for you.” So I think that I could see China doing it and sending a woman, and that moment where that would be a huge coup for them, and that would obviously be symbolic.But when you're talking about space as a tool of soft power and diplomacy, I think it would attract a lot of other nations to their side who are sort of waiting on the sidelines or who frankly aren't on the sidelines, who have signed on to go to the United States, but are going to say, “Well, they're there and you're not, so that's who we're going to go with.”I think about the wonderful alt-history show For All Mankind, which begins with the Soviets beating the US to the moon, and instead of Neil Armstrong giving the “one small step for man,” basically the Russian cosmonaut gives, “Its one small step for Marxism-Leninism,” and it was a bummer. And I really imagine that day, if China beats us, it is going to be not just, “Oh, I guess now we have to share the moon with someone else,” but it's going to cause some national soul searching.And there are clues to this, and actually I detail these two anecdotes in the book, that all of the flags, the American flags that the Apollo astronauts planted, they're basically no longer there anymore. We know from Buzz Aldrin‘s memoir that the flag that he and Neil Armstrong planted in the lunar soil in 1969, Buzz said that he saw it get knocked over by the thrust in the exhaust of the module lifting off from the lunar surface. Even if that hadn't happened, just the radiation environment would've bleached the flag white, as scientists believe it has to all the other flags that are on there. So there are essentially really no trace of the Apollo flags.There are, however, two Chinese flags on the moon, and the first one, which was planted a couple of years ago, or unveiled a couple of years ago, was made not of cloth, but their scientists and engineers spent a year building a composite material flag designed specifically to withstand the harsh environment of the moon. When they went back last summer for their farside sample return mission, they built a flag, — and this is pretty amazing — out of basalt, like volcanic rock, which you find on Earth. And they use basalt from earth, but of course basalt is common on the moon. They were able to take the rock, turn it into lava, extract threads from the lava and weave this flag, which is now near the south pole of the moon. The significance of that is they are showing that they can use the resources of the moon, the basalt, to build flags. It's called ISR: in situ resource utilization. So to me, nothing symbolizes their intentions more than that.A fatal flaw (9:31). . . I tend to think if it's a NASA launch . . . and there's an explosion . . . I still think there are going to be investigations, congressional reports, I do think things would slow down dramatically.In the book, you really suggest a new sort of golden age of space. We have multiple countries launching. We seem to have reusable rockets here in the United States. A lot of plans to go to the moon. How sustainable is this economically? And I also wonder what happens if we have another fatal accident in this country? Is there so much to be gained — whether it's economically, or national security, or national pride in space — that this return to space by humanity will just go forward almost no matter what?I think so. I think you've seen a dramatic reduction in the cost of launch. SpaceX and the Falcon 9, the reusable rocket, has dropped launches down. It used to be if you got 10, 12 orbital rocket launches in a year, that was a good year. SpaceX is launching about every 48 hours now. It's unprecedented what they've done. You're seeing a lot of new players — Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, others — driving down the cost of launch.That said, the main anchor tenant customer, the force driving all of this is still the government, it's still NASA, it's still the Pentagon. There is not a self-sustaining space economy that exists in addition or above and beyond the government. You're starting to see bits of that, but really it's the government that's driving it.When you talk about the movie For All Mankind, you sort of wonder if at one point, what happened in that movie is there was a huge investment into NASA by the government, and you're seeing that to some extent today, not so much with NASA, but actually on the national security side and the creation of the Space Force and the increases, just recently, in the Space Force's budget. I mean, my gosh, if you have $25 billion for this year alone for Golden Dome, the Missile Defense Shield, that's the equivalent of NASA's entire budget. That's the sort of funding that helps build those capabilities going forward.And if we should, God forbid, have a fatal accident, you think we'll just say that's the cost of human exploration and forward we go?I think a lot about this, and the answer is, I don't know. When we had Challenger and we had Columbia, the world stopped, and the Space Shuttle was grounded for months if not a year at a time, and the world just came to an end. And you wonder now if it's becoming more routine and what happens? Do we just sort of carry on in that way?It's not a perfect analogy, but when you talk about commercial astronauts, these rich people are paying a lot of money to go, and if there's an accident there, what would happen? I think about that, and you think about Mount Everest. The people climbing Mount Everest today, those mountain tourists are literally stepping over dead bodies as they're going up to the summit, and nobody's shutting down Mount Everest, they're just saying, well, if you want to climb Mount Everest, that's the risk you take. I do wonder if we're going to get that to that point in space flight, but I tend to think if it's a NASA launch, and it's NASA astronauts, and there's an explosion, and there's a very bad day, I still think there are going to be investigations, congressional reports, I do think things would slow down dramatically.The thing is, if it's SpaceX, they have had accidents. They've had multiple accidents — not with people, thank goodness — and they have been grounded.It is part of the model.It's part of the model, and they have shown how they can find out what went wrong, fix it, and return to flight, and they know their rocket so well because they fly it so frequently. They know it that well, and NASA, despite what you think about Elon, NASA really, really trusts SpaceX and they get along really well.State of play (13:33)[Blue Origin is] way behind for myriad reasons. They sat out while SpaceX is launching the Falcon 9 every couple of days . . . Blue Origin, meanwhile, has flown its New Glenn rocket one time.I was under the impression that Blue Origin was way behind SpaceX. Are they catching up?This is one of the themes of the book. They are way behind for myriad reasons. They sat out while SpaceX is launching the Falcon 9 every couple of days, they're pushing ahead with Starship, their next generation rocket would be fully reusable, twice the thrust and power of the Saturn V rocket that flew the Apollo astronauts to the Moon. Blue Origin, meanwhile, has flown its New Glenn rocket one time. They might be launching again soon within the coming weeks or months, hopefully by the end of the year, but that's two. They are so far behind, but you do hear Jeff Bezos being much more tuned into the company. He has a new CEO — a newish CEO — plucked from the ranks of Amazon, Dave Limp, and you do sort of see them charging, and now that the acting NASA administrator has sort of opened up the competition to go to the moon, I don't know that Blue Origin beats SpaceX to do it, but it gives them some incentive to move fast, which I think they really need.I know it's only a guess and it's only speculation, but when we return to the moon, which company will have built that lander?At this point, you have to put your money on SpaceX just because they're further along in their development. They've flown humans before. They know how to keep people alive in space. In their Dragon capsule, they have the rendezvous and proximity operations, they know how to dock. That's it.Blue Origin has their uncrewed lander, the Mark 1 version that they hope to land on the moon next year, so it's entirely possible that Blue Origin actually lands a spacecraft on the lunar surface before SpaceX, and that would be a big deal. I don't know that they're able to return humans there, however, before SpaceX.Do you think there's any regrets by Jeff Bezos about how Blue Origin has gone about its business here? Because obviously it really seems like it's a very different approach, and maybe the Blue Origin approach, if we look back 10 years, will seem to have been the better approach, but given where we are now and what you just described, would you guess that he's deeply disappointed with the kind of progress they made via SpaceX?Yeah, and he's been frustrated. Actually, the opening scene of the book is Jeff being upset that SpaceX is so far ahead and having pursued a partnership with NASA to fly cargo and supply to the International Space Station and then to fly astronauts to the International Space Station, and Blue Origin essentially sat out those competitions. And he turns to his team — this was early on in 2016 — and said, “From here on out, we go after everything that SpaceX goes after, we're going to compete with them. We're going to try to keep up.” And that's where they went, and sort of went all in early in the first Trump administration when it was clear that they wanted to go back to the moon, to position Blue Origin to say, “We can help you go back to the moon.”But yes, I think there's enormous frustration there. And I know, if not regret on Jeff's part, but certainly among some of his senior leadership, because I've talked to them about it.What is the war for talent between those two companies? Because if you're a hotshot engineer out of MIT, I'd guess you'd probably want to go to SpaceX. What is that talent war like, if you have any idea?It's fascinating. Just think a generation ago, you're a hot MIT engineer coming out of grad school, chances are you're going to go to NASA or one of the primes, right? Lockheed, or Boeing, or Air Jet, something like that. Now you've got SpaceX and Blue Origin, but you've got all kinds of other options too: Stoke Space, Rocket Lab, you've got Axiom, you've got companies building commercial space stations, commercial companies building space suits, commercial companies building rovers for the moon, a company called Astro Lab.I think what you hear is people want to go to SpaceX because they're doing things: they're flying rockets, they're flying people, you're actually accomplishing something. That said, the culture's rough, and you're working all the time, and the burnout rate is high. Blue Origin more has a tradition of people getting frustrated that yeah, the work-life balance is better — although I hear that's changing, actually, that it's driving much, much harder — but it's like, when are we launching? What are we doing here?And so the fascinating thing is actually, I call it SpaceX and Blue Origin University, where so many of the engineers go out and either do their own things or go to work for other companies doing things because they've had that experience in the commercial sector.The long-term vision (18:37)That's the interesting thing, that while they compete . . . at a base level, Elon and Jeff and SpaceX and Blue Origin want to accomplish the same things and have a lot in common . . .At a talk recently, Bezos was talking about space stations in orbit and there being like a million people in space in 20 years doing economically valuable things of some sort. How seriously should I take that kind of prediction?Well, I think a million people in 20 years is not feasible, but I think that's ultimately what is his goal. His goal is, as he says, he founded Amazon, the infrastructure was there: the phone companies had laid down the cables for the internet, the post office was there to deliver the books, there was an invention called the credit card, he could take people's money. That infrastructure for space isn't there, and he wants to sort of help with Elon and SpaceX. That's their goal.That's the interesting thing, that while they compete, while they poke each other on Twitter and kind of have this rivalry, at a base level, Elon and Jeff and SpaceX and Blue Origin want to accomplish the same things and have a lot in common, and that's lower the cost of access to space and make it more accessible so that you can build this economy on top of it and have more people living in space. That's Elon's dream, and the reason he founded SpaceX is to build a city on Mars, right? Something's going to happen to Earth at some point we should have a backup plan.Jeff's goal from the beginning was to say, you don't really want to inhabit another planet or celestial body. You're better off in these giant space stations envisioned by a Princeton physics professor named Gerard O'Neill, who Jeff Bezos read his book The High Frontier and became an acolyte of Gerard O'Neill from when he was a kid, and that's sort of his vision, that you don't have to go to a planet, you can just be on a Star Trekkian sort of spacecraft in orbit around the earth, and then earth is preserved as this national park. If you want to return to Earth, you can, but you get all the resources from space. In 500 years is that feasible? Yeah, probably, but that's not going to be in our lives, or our kids' lives, or our grandkids' lives.For that vision — anything like that vision — to happen, it seems to me that the economics needs to be there, and the economics just can't be national security and national prestige. We need to be doing things in space, in orbit, on the moon that have economic value on their own. Do we know what that would look like, or is it like you've got to build the infrastructure first and then let the entrepreneurs do their thing and see what happens?I would say the answer is “yes,” meaning it's both. And Jeff even says it, that some of the things that will be built, we do not know. When you had the creation of the internet, no one was envisioning Snapchat or TikTok. Those applications come later. But we do know that there are resources in space. We know there's a plentiful helium three, for example, on the surface of the moon, which it could be vital for, say, quantum computing, and there's not a lot of it on earth, and that could be incredibly valuable. We know that asteroids have precious metals in large quantities. So if you can reduce the cost of accessing them and getting there, then I think you could open up some of those economies. If you just talk about solar rays in space, you don't have day and night, you don't have cloud cover, you don't have an atmosphere, you're just pure sunlight. If you could harness that energy and bring it back to earth, that could be valuable.The problem is the cost of entry is so high and it's so difficult to get there, but if you have a vehicle like Starship that does what Elon envisions and it launches multiple times a day like an airline, all you're really doing is paying for the fuel to launch it, and it goes up and comes right back down, it can carry enormous amounts of mass, you can begin to get a glimmer of how this potentially could work years from now.The pace of progress (22:50)People talk about US-China, but clearly Russia has been a long-time player. India, now, has made extraordinary advancements. Of course, Europe, Japan, and all those countries are going to want to have a foothold in space . . .How would you characterize the progress now than when you wrote your first book?So much has happened that the first book, The Space Barons was published in 2018, and I thought, yeah, there'll be enough material here for another one in maybe 10 years or so, and here we are, what, seven years later, and the book is already out because commercial companies are now flying people. You've got a growth of the space ecosystem beyond just the Space Barons, beyond just the billionaires.You've got multiple players in the rocket launch market, and really, I think a lot of what's driving it isn't just the rivalries between the commercial companies in the United States, but the geopolitical space race between the United States and China, too that's really driving a lot of this, and the technological change that we've seen has moved very fast. Again, how fast SpaceX is launching, Blue Origin coming online, new launch vehicles, potentially new commercial space stations, and a broadening of the space ecosystem, it's moving fast. Does that mean it's perfect? No, companies start, they fail, they have setbacks, they go out of business, but hey, that's capitalism.Ten years from now, how many space stations are going to be in orbit around the earth?I think we'll have at least one or two commercial space stations for the United States, I think China. Is it possible you've got the US space stations, does that satisfy the demand? People talk about US-China, but clearly Russia has been a long-time player. India, now, has made extraordinary advancements. Of course, Europe, Japan, and all those countries are going to want to have a foothold in space for their scientists, for their engineers, for their pharmaceutical companies that want to do research in a zero-G environment. I think it's possible that there are, within 10 years, three, maybe even four space stations. Yeah, I think that's possible.Friendly competition (24:53)I honestly believe [Elon] . . . wants Blue to be better than they are.Do you think Musk thinks a lot about Blue Origin, or do you think he thinks, “I'm so far ahead, we're just competing against our own goals”?I've talked to him about this. He wishes they were better. He wishes they were further along. He said to me years ago, “Jeff needs to focus on Blue Origin.” This is back when Jeff was still CEO of Amazon, saying he should focus more on Blue Origin. And he said that one of the reasons why he was goading him and needling him as he has over the years was an attempt to kind of shame him and to get him to focus on Blue, because as he said, for Blue to be successful, he really needs to be dialed in on it.So earlier this year, when New Glenn, Blue Origin's big rocket, made it to orbit, that was a moment where Elon came forward and was like, respect. That is hard to do, to build a rocket to go to orbit, have a successful flight, and there was sort of a public high five in the moment, and now I think he thinks, keep going. I honestly believe he wants Blue to be better than they are.There's a lot of Elon Musk skeptics out there. They view him either as the guy who makes too big a prediction about Tesla and self-driving cars, or he's a troll on Twitter, but when it comes to space and wanting humanity to have a self-sustaining place somewhere else — on Mars — is he for real?Yeah, I do believe that's the goal. That's why he founded SpaceX in the first place, to do that. But the bottom line is, that's really expensive. When you talk about how do you do that, what are the economic ways to do it, I think the way he's funding that is obviously through Starlink and the Starlink system. But I do believe he wants humanity to get to Mars.The problem with this now is that there hasn't been enough competition. Blue Origin hasn't given SpaceX competition. We saw all the problems that Boeing has had with their program, and so much of the national space enterprise is now in his hands. And if you remember when he had that fight and the breakup with Donald Trump, Elon, in a moment of peak, threatened to take away the Dragon spacecraft, which is the only way NASA can fly its astronauts anywhere to space, to the International Space Station. I think that was reckless and dangerous and that he regretted it, but yes, the goal to get to Mars is real, and whatever you think about Elon — and he certainly courts a controversy — SpaceX is really, really good at what they do, and what they've done is really unprecedented from an American industrial perspective.My earliest and clearest memory of America and space was the landing on Mars. I remember seeing the first pictures probably on CBS news, I think it was Dan Rather saying, “Here are the first pictures of the Martian landscape,” 1976, and if you would've asked me as a child then, I would've been like, “Yeah, so we're going to be walking on Mars,” but I was definitely hooked and I've been interested in space, but are you a space guy? How'd you end up on this beat, which I think is a fantastic beat? You've written two books about it. How did this happen?I did not grow up a space nerd, so I was born in 1973 —Christian, I said “space guy.” I didn't say “space nerd,” but yeah, that is exactly right.My first memory of space is actually the Challenger shuttle exploding. That was my memory. As a journalist, I was covering the military. I'd been embedded in Iraq, and my first book was an Iraq War book about the national guard's role in Iraq, and was covering the military. And then this guy, this was 10 years ago, 12 years ago, at this point, Elon holds a press conference at the National Press Club where SpaceX was suing the Pentagon for the right to compete for national security launch contracts, and he starts off the press conference not talking about the lawsuit, but talking about the attempts. This was early days of trying to land the Falcon 9 rocket and reuse it, and I didn't know what he was talking about. And I was like, what? And then I did some research and I was like, “He's trying to land and reuse the rockets? What?” Nobody was really covering it, so I started spending more time, and then it's the old adage, right? Follow the money. And if the richest guys in the world — Bezos Blue Origin, at the time, Richard Branson, Paul Allen had a space company — if they're investing large amounts of their own personal fortune into that, maybe we should be paying attention, and look at where we are now.On sale everywhere The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised Faster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.

Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Tre olika farkoster, tre olika bakgrunder, tre astronauter! Idag bjuder vi på något så unikt som ett samtal mellan de tre svenskarna som varit i rymden, Christer Fuglesang, Jessica Meir och Marcus Wandt. Avsnittet är en del av ett längre samtal som filmades på Saab i slutet av februari 2024.Jessica var på den internationell rymdstationen i nästan 7 månader 2019-2020. Christer var på ISS 12 dagar 2006 och 14 dagar 2009, och Marcus landade den 9 februari i år efter 21 dagar utan fast mark under fötterna.Har vi åkt till Mars än? görs på Beppo av Rundfunk Media i samarbete med Saab.

Nu ska vår tredje svenske astronaut, Marcus Wandt, upp till den internationella rymdstationen. Den här gången är det kommersiella rymdbolag som sköter själva turen upp dit, hur fungerar det? Hur är läget med rymdstationen nu i krigstider - och vad är det Marcus Wandt ska upp dit och göra? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Efter Christer Fuglesang och svenskamerikanska Jessica Meir står nu Marcus Wandt på tur för ett två veckors besök på rymdstationen ISS. Eftersom den numera är färdigbyggd så kommer han i huvudsak att ägna sig åt forskning under sitt besök. Det handlar om hur hjärnan fungerar i en så trång och stökig arbetsmiljö, om sömn och om stamceller, och resultaten kan vara till nytta både på jorden och på framtida längre rymdfärder, säger forskarna som han samarbetar med. Wandt blir förste svensk att åka upp i en farkost byggd och ägd av ett kommersiellt bolag, Spacex, och det är även ett privat företag som säljer biljetten till ESA som han representerar. Lite som kommunal snöröjning på entreprenad, eller dagens avreglerade tågmarknad, säger rymdfartsexperten Sven Grahn.

Nuestro viaje comienza en el Ártico, donde cada verano se desprenden enormes cantidades de hielo de los bordes de los glaciares que se derriten en Groenlandia. En la parte superior de la capa de hielo, el glaciólogo Alun Hubbard desciende a un moulin para tratar de comprender los mecanismos que están impulsando esta histórica pérdida de hielo. En otras partes del Ártico, no solo está desapareciendo el hielo terrestre. En el golfo de San Lorenzo, Canadá, los biólogos están tratando de averiguar cómo afectará la pérdida de hielo marino a la vida de las crías de arpa. En la Rusia ártica, con la pérdida del hielo marino del verano, cada vez llegan más osos polares a la isla de Wrangel. Aquí, un guardabosques local y científicos desafían a los osos hambrientos para evaluar su futura supervivencia. La pérdida de hielo marino afecta no solo a la vida silvestre sino también a las personas. En la remota comunidad de Qaanaaq, Groenlandia, los cazadores inuit locales encuentran que el hielo es demasiado peligroso para viajar y cazar, poniendo en riesgo su forma de vida tradicional. Y estos cambios que ocurren en el Ártico tienen el potencial de afectar a las personas mucho más allá. En la tundra abierta de Alaska, los lagos burbujeantes insinúan los gases que se liberan del suelo previamente congelado, incluido el metano, un potente gas de efecto invernadero. Hay un lugar donde se puede presenciar mejor la escala completa de un Ártico que se derrite: desde el espacio. Con base en la Estación Espacial Internacional, la astronauta Jessica Meir observa los incendios forestales en toda Europa y refleja cómo nuestros patrones climáticos cambiantes están interconectados. La rápida pérdida de hielo también está ocurriendo en las altas montañas de los continentes del planeta. El glaciólogo Hamish Pritchard utiliza un sofisticado sistema de radar instalado en un helicóptero para tratar de cuantificar cuánto hielo queda en los glaciares del Himalaya que antes no estaban cartografiados. Es importante ya que, río abajo, unos 1200 millones de personas dependen del agua de deshielo de los glaciares como fuente principal de agua dulce. Finalmente, en la Antártida conocemos a Bill Fraser, quien ha dedicado 45 años de su vida al estudio del pingüino Adelia. Durante este período, ha sido testigo de cambios en las condiciones climáticas y la extinción de colonias enteras. Estos 'canarios en la mina de carbón' son una señal de que no todo está bien, incluso en el lugar más remoto de la tierra. Y los cambios aquí tienen el potencial de afectarnos a todos, por lo que un grupo internacional de científicos se encuentra en una misión urgente para evaluar la estabilidad de una enorme masa de hielo conocida como la plataforma de hielo de Thwaites. Si este tapón de hielo se derrite y se desliza hacia el océano, elevará los niveles globales del mar, lo que afectará a las comunidades costeras de todo el planeta. Los cambios sin precedentes que nuestros científicos están presenciando pueden ser profundos, pero existe la esperanza de que, a través de una combinación de tecnología y fuerza de voluntad, todavía haya tiempo para salvar lo que queda de nuestro planeta helado.

På måndag skickas en jättelik raket mot månen. Det är ett första steg för Artemisprojektet som vill föra människan tillbaka till månen och använda den som bas för att resa till Mars. Orion heter rymdfarkosten som raketen ska slunga iväg. Den ska färdas bortom månen och återvända till jorden med data åt en framtida bemannad farkost. Siktet är inställt på att sedan kunna landa den första kvinnan på månen ska det bli svenskamerikanska Jessica Meir? Mån- och Marsresor kan kännas avlägsna i det polariserade politiska klimatet som råder nu inför valet. Vi pratar om de stora ideologiernas verktyg för att tackla klimatkrisen, och om de ständigt ökande elpriserna.Poddledare: Camilla WidebeckProducent: Peter Normark peter.normark@sverigesradio.se

There are many awe inspiring images from our universe; Apollo 8's Earthrise, the Hubble's Deepfields map of galaxies, Carl Sagan's commentary on the Pale Blue Dot image from Voyager 1. Some find them inspiring in their beauty. Others find them terrifying in their vastness and scale.

Astronauten om att lära känna sig själv bland stjärnorna i rymden. Jessica Meir är en svensk-amerikansk astronaut som levde sju månader på rymdstationen ISS och utförde hundratals experiment.

Hon har studerat rymdvetenskap, doktorerat i marinbiologi och är hedersdoktor vid Luleå tekniska universitet. I sitt Sommar talar Jessica Meir om vikten av upptäckaranda. - Jag kommer att prata om hur resan mot att lära känna mig själv fanns bland stjärnorna.

Thanks to the pandemic, some 40% of Americans no longer head into the office to get work done. For many, the shift to remote work could be permanent, and yet millions of others do not have that luxury. This trend exacerbates the fault line between those who can, and those who can’t. But as much as experts tout “the end of the office”, a few with years of remote work experience argue that there’s a shelf life to this new way of working - and downsides that must be considered. Host Sonari Glinton hears from NASA astronaut Jessica Meir on her extreme remote work experience stationed aboard the International Space Station during the outbreak. Over in the UK, Ashley Mitchell sold everything he owned and moved himself - and his job - to a tropical paradise. In Mexico, Ali Darwich has worked remotely for years with Modern Tribe. Along with Shane Pearlman, the company founder, they advise us on the benefits and risks of shifting to a distributed workforce. And finally, Michelle Lee is an office workspace designer; she hopes the post-pandemic office is more than just plexiglass and cubicles.The guest speakers are neither employees nor affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co.

In 2019 NASA astronaut Jessica Meir participated in the first all-female spacewalk, an historic honor she’s still processing now that she’s back on earth. Jessica always wanted to be an astronaut and recalls a time in first grade when she drew a picture of an astronaut on the surface of the moon to signify what she wanted to be when she grew up! In this conversation with Women on the Move’s Sam Saperstein, Jessica explains what it was like to be up in space when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out and why spacewalks are so challenging, both physically and mentally.

Jessica Meir is an astrobiologist and a NASA Astronaut. She just came back from the International Space Station this April, and is notable for being a part of the first all-women spacewalk.
