Podcasts about Kennedy Space Center

Commander and Astronaut James A. Lovell, Jr. – died Thursday at the age of 97. He was one of the three-man Apollo 13 spacecraft crew that set for the moon in April 1970.  In 1970, the Apollo 13 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center. It captured the world's attention as America's third attempt to get to the moon. But after only two days, an explosion crippled the spacecraft and changed its mission: Get home safely.The three astronauts onboard, and dozens of flight controllers on Earth, labored for days to solve one challenge after another.Captain Jim Lovell commanded that mission—after a series of historical firsts with his flights on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, and Apollo 8.In 2020, 1A's Todd Zwillich spoke to the captain about that historic flight on its 50th anniversary.

The east coast of Florida first heard the roar of a rocket heading toward space 75 years ago today. It failed. But it set the stage for thousands more launches – payloads intended for Earth orbit, the Moon, and targets throughout the solar system. The military had been conducting test flights from White Sands, New Mexico. But it was limited by the land-locked site. So it turned to a piece of scrubland known as Cape Canaveral. The site was chosen because it was isolated, it offered a moderate climate, and it was close to the equator, so it gave east-bound rockets an extra kick. Most important, it offered tens of thousands of square miles of open ocean to catch falling rockets. So workers carved out some space and built several launch pads. And on July 24th of 1950, they put one of them to work, launching a rocket called Bumper 8. The first stage was a V-2 captured from Germany at the end of World War II. The second stage was a small American-built rocket. As often happened in the early days, something went wrong. The rocket followed the wrong path, causing the second stage to fail. A second Bumper launch, nine days later, fared a bit better, but still didn’t achieve all of its goals. Today, Cape Canaveral and the adjoining Kennedy Space Center are busier than ever. Last year, they hosted a record 93 launches – adding to the tally of a 75-year-old spaceport. Script by Damond Benningfield

The astronauts count down to flying a brand-new spacecraft for the very first time. If they pull it off, they will earn a place in space history.The rocket is built. The astronauts are trained. Mission control is ready. Space Shuttle Columbia is about to attempt the unheard of. A crewed test flight. It's 12 April 1981. The morning of launch for the very first space shuttle mission. The shuttle is sitting on the launchpad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. And strapped into their seats on the flight deck of orbiter Columbia are commander John Young and pilot Bob Crippen.Everyone at Nasa has been waiting almost a decade for this day. It's taken an army of designers, engineers, ground crew, flight controllers, and backroom staff to get to this point. To bring this vehicle to life. Will this new machine fly? This episode contains scenes some listeners may find upsetting.Some scenes in this series use recreated sound effects.13 Minutes Presents: The Space Shuttle is a BBC Audio Science Unit production for BBC World Service. Hosted by space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock.Theme music by Hans Zimmer and Christian Lundberg, and produced by Russell Emanuel, for Bleeding Fingers Music.Archive: Launch of STS-1, BBC, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, 1981 Mission audio and oral histories, Nasa History Office

In 1971 a group of Utah lawmakers made a proposal to create a "Space Port Committee". One of the goals of this committee was to make Utah a port to launch reusable spacecraft. Cape Canaveral, Florida ended up becoming the home of many iconic launches from the Kennedy Space Center. But now Utah is attempting to host it's own space launch facility... this one entirely homegrown. Greg and Holly discuss what makes Utah a good spot for this facility. 

It's Thursday, June 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iranian Christians vulnerable to arrest, falsely accused of espionage Christians in Israel and Iran are experiencing fear and uncertainty during recent conflict between the two countries. Christians already face arrest in Iran for simply leading a house church. An Iranian believer told International Christian Concern, “The Iranian government is now arresting anyone caught taking or sharing photos and videos with news outlets. Christians are especially vulnerable, as they risk being accused of espionage and deemed a threat to national security. If their faith is discovered, the consequences are far worse.” Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals, one served as Iranian army sniper U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals over the weekend. The individuals entered the U.S. illegally, and one of them reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper.  Officials are on high alert for extremist attacks after the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday. Iran has threatened to carry out retaliatory terrorist attacks using sleeper cells in America.  Trump thrilled that NATO paying their fair share The NATO military alliance of western nations held its 2025 summit in the Netherlands this week. NATO countries agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of annual gross domestic product over the next 10 years. That's up from the current target of 2%. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump has called on European countries to contribute more to the defense budget of the alliance. Listen to comments from Trump. TRUMP: “This is a monumental win for the United States, because we were carrying much more than our fair share. It was quite unfair, actually. But this is a big win for Europe and for actually, Western civilization.” Muslim socialist beat Andrew Cuomo in NYC Dem primary for mayor A Muslim socialist won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor on Tuesday. Remarkably, Zohran Mamdani, age 33, defeated former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo in the race. (Watch his election night victory speech) MAMDANI: “Tonight, we made history. (cheering) In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.' (cheering)  My friends, we have done it. (cheering) I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.” (cheering)   Mamdani has served as a New York state lawmaker. He campaigned on making the Big Apple more affordable, calling for free public transit, rent freezes, and universal childcare. If elected, he would be the city's first Muslim mayor.  President Trump sounded off on Truth Social. He wrote, “Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous. … He's got [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. … and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, ,,, groveling over him.” Two-thirds of churchgoers attend weekly The Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations project released a new report on U.S. churchgoers this month. The survey found two-thirds of respondents attend services weekly. And over 80% report stable or increased attendance compared to five years ago.  The survey noted a positive outlook: “Many more respondents said their religious faith and spirituality had strengthened since the pandemic. Likewise, financial giving has increased, as has involvement and volunteering.” In terms of newcomers, 38% of churchgoers began attending their church since the COVID-19 pandemic. Of these new attenders, nearly a third never attended church before or are returning to church after years of not participating.  Astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary head to Int'l Space Station Astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary blasted off for the International Space Station yesterday. It's the first time astronauts from those countries have gone to space in over 40 years. Axiom Space arranged the flight which launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The mission is part of NASA's effort to open space to private companies. Axiom is among several American space companies hoping to put their own space stations into orbit. The Polish astronaut on the mission said space “is not only for the biggest agencies anymore—space is for everyone.” Psalm 8:3-4 reminds us, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,375  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 8 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25, James in Lebanon, Oregon who gave $50 as well as Stephen in Adrian, Oregon and Mark in Grand Forks, North Dakota–both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Richard in Camden Wyoming, Delaware who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Keith and Nicole in Aiken, South Carolina who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And we were touched by the generosity of Doreen in Caldwell, Idaho who gave $1,000, Shane in Columbia City, Indiana who $1,200, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who, as promised, matched twelve $1,000 donors with his matching gift of $12,000 which has already been incorporated into our previous total. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,375.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (Drum roll sound effect) $70,908.55 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise $52,591.45 in just 5 days. That's $10,518.29 per day! We are looking for 9 super donors. Could you give $10,000? Or perhaps you feel the Lord prompting you to become one of 3 businesspeople who could give $5,000? Or one of 5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then, we would need another 6 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200. And another 12 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600? Please, go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. India's Return to Space: Shukla Makes History At 12:01 PM IST on Wednesday, India reached a milestone in its space journey. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla became the second Indian to travel to space—and the first to reach the International Space Station. Launching aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 from Kennedy Space Center, Shukla's flight symbolizes a new era of commercial space collaboration for India. His mission, Axiom-4, includes 60 scientific experiments from 31 countries, reflecting India's expanding space ambitions. As his voice crackled over radio—“Kya kamaal ki ride thi”—cheers erupted back home. “This is not just my journey, it's the start of India's human space program,” Shukla said. With Gaganyaan and a homegrown space station on the horizon, India isn't just returning to space—it's preparing to lead. Gaza Truce ‘Very Close,' Says Trump Fresh off brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, US President Donald Trump says progress is being made on a Gaza ceasefire as well. “Gaza is very close,” he told reporters, crediting his envoy Steve Witkoff. Qatar and Egypt have intensified mediation efforts, while Hamas confirmed the talks but said no concrete proposal is on the table yet. Meanwhile, Israel remains firm on its goals: dismantle Hamas, recover hostages, and control Gaza. The war, triggered by Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack, has led to over 56,000 Palestinian deaths. With famine worsening and diplomacy heating up, all eyes are on Trump's next move in the Middle East. India Expands Oil Reserves Amid Global Volatility India is adding six new Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPRs) to bolster energy security. With 85% of its crude oil imported, and threats like the Strait of Hormuz blockade looming, the government aims to raise reserve capacity to match IEA's 90-day import standard. Current strategic reserves only cover 9.5 days. Proposed sites include Mangalore SEZ and Bikaner's salt caverns, with Engineers India Ltd conducting feasibility studies. The goal? Build resilience against price shocks and supply disruptions, especially as demand for petrol and diesel is expected to rise for at least 15 more years. The investment is high—₹2,500 crore per million tonnes—but so is the payoff: national energy safety.  FASTag ₹3,000 Pass: Relief for Commuters, Risk for Toll Operators From August 15, private vehicle owners can buy an annual ₹3,000 FASTag pass covering 200 highway trips—a game-changer for frequent drivers. Crisil Ratings estimates the pass could cut per-trip costs by 80%. But there's a catch: a 4–8% dip in toll revenues is expected, and toll operators will need timely compensation under their agreements. Crisil says 40 rated projects can absorb short-term cash flow impacts thanks to strong liquidity and NHAI's payment track record. Still, the move tests how India balances commuter convenience with private investor confidence in infrastructure. Nvidia Tops the World—Again Chipmaker Nvidia has officially reclaimed the title of the world's most valuable company. Its shares surged 4.33% to $154.31, pushing its market cap to $3.77 trillion—ahead of Microsoft ($3.66T) and Apple ($3.01T). CEO Jensen Huang's AI-focused keynote at the shareholder meeting fueled the rally, calling this “just the beginning” of the AI infrastructure boom. Loop Capital hiked Nvidia's price target to $250, citing its leading role in what it calls the “Golden Wave” of AI. The stock is up 17% in 2025, following a 170% rise in 2024 and 240% in 2023. Despite the meteoric rise, its forward P/E remains relatively modest at 30—proof that the AI boom is feeding real earnings, not just hype. Learn more about your ad choices.

An ancient creature that once lived with dinosaurs helps keep NASA's Kennedy Space Center in balance.

In this conversation, Jeff and Charlie explore their recent visit to the Kennedy Space Center, discussing the intricacies of space technology, the tourist experience, and the engineering marvels they encountered. They delve into the mysteries surrounding the space shuttle, the moon landing, and the implications of advanced technology developed during the space race, while also touching on conspiracy theories and the compartmentalization of information within space programs. In this conversation, Charlie and Jeff delve into the complexities surrounding the moon landing, conspiracy theories, and the nature of space. They discuss the implications of potentially faked footage, the collaboration between nations in space exploration, and the need for proof of moon landings. The dialogue shifts to the nature of gravity, atmosphere, and the Electric Universe theory, exploring ancient cosmologies and the role of AI in shaping information. They conclude with reflections on human existence and the overarching control of narratives in society.

The Headlines: People Keep Mistaking Nail Glue for Eye Drops – Read more SpaceX Mission To Bring Starliner Astronauts Home Postponed Due To Hydraulic Issue – Read more People Keep Mistaking Nail Glue for Eye Drops Double-check that label before using eye drops! A TikToker named BreezyBre is in the news after she accidentally grabbed a tiny bottle of fingernail glue instead of eye drops — and ended up gluing her eyes shut. BreezyBre posted a video from the emergency room after the mishap, saying she was in "so much pain." A brand called Kiss sells fingernail glue in bottles that look almost identical to eye drops, which is causing the mix-up. Doctors say this is becoming a more common problem as more people unknowingly mistake the similar packaging. BreezyBre’s situation required immediate medical attention to carefully remove the glue from her eye area without causing permanent damage. Thankfully, she’s okay now — but maybe store your nail glue and eye drops in different places from now on!

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/    

In this episode of ALL IN, I dive into a question I get asked all the time – what's the best age to give your kids a phone? I share my unconventional approach of giving all my kids their first iPhone at age 7 and the reasoning behind this decision. Initially, it was about safety and communication when they traveled alone to meet me on business trips, creating special one-on-one moments like visiting the Kennedy Space Center with my son or taking my daughter to see the dolphins at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. But the unexpected benefit has been the incredible memories captured from their perspective – videos and photos I never would have seen otherwise, giving me insight into their world. I address the judgment I've received from other parents and explain my philosophy of exposing kids to technology early in a controlled environment while maintaining important boundaries (like no devices at the dinner table and open-door policies for video calls with the opposite sex). Ultimately, this approach has helped my kids develop a healthy, mature relationship with technology that many adults still struggle with today.Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanSubscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN
