SpaceX's Historic Triple Spacecraft Launch: On September 23rd, SpaceX will launch three spacecraft from Kennedy Space Center, including NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP). This mission marks a significant step in mapping the outer boundary of the heliosphere, providing vital early warnings of solar radiation storms that could impact future Artemis missions.Unprecedented Gamma Ray Burst Discovery: Astronomers are buzzing over the recent detection of GRB 250702B, a gamma ray burst that repeated multiple times over a day—an event never before observed. This extraordinary phenomenon challenges existing theories about gamma ray bursts, which are typically one-time catastrophic events.James Webb Telescope's Exoplanet Discoveries: The James Webb Space Telescope continues to revolutionize our understanding of exoplanets, recently detecting water vapor in the atmosphere of K2 18b, located in the habitable zone of its star. Webb's advanced capabilities are providing unprecedented insights into the atmospheres of over 20 exoplanets.Perseverance Rover's Findings on Mars: NASA's Perseverance rover has collected 26 samples in Jezero Crater, revealing evidence of ancient rivers and lake beds, suggesting that Mars was once potentially habitable. The ambitious Mars sample return mission is set to retrieve these samples by the early 2030s.Upcoming Astronomical Events: October promises fantastic stargazing opportunities with the Orionids meteor shower peaking on October 21, coinciding with a new moon for optimal viewing. Jupiter and Saturn are also well-positioned for observation, offering spectacular views of their moons and rings.NASA's Dragonfly Mission Update: After overcoming budget challenges and delays, NASA's Dragonfly mission to Titan is back on track for a July 2028 launch. This innovative mission aims to explore the chemical building blocks of life on Titan, an Earth-like moon with lakes of methane.Send Your Name to the Moon: NASA invites you to send your name aboard the Artemis 2 mission, launching no later than April 2026. This mission will be the first crewed flight of the Artemis campaign, paving the way for future lunar exploration.

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

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.

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!

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

Share shawarma with the award-winning Eric Choi as we discuss what William Shatner's Captain Kirk might sound like dubbed into Cantonese, the wonders of fan-run science fiction conventions, how the Asimov competition gave him the courage to make his first submission, what it was like co-editing an anthology with the great Ben Bova, the accident that gave birth to his first short story collection, why his claim never to have experienced writer's block comes with a footnote, his moving memories of the Columbia accident as experienced at the Kennedy Space Center, the Richard Feynman quote he shared throughout the pandemic, why the first Harry Turtledove story he read wasn't written by Harry Turtledove, his unfortunate introduction to The Lord of the Rings, and much more.
