Ahora que tanto se habla de una nueva Guerra Fría, recordamos una de las 'batallas' sin armas que protagonizaron en el siglo XX Estados Unidos y la URSS: la carrera espacial. Se puede decir que garanon los norteamericanos al ser los primeros (y únicos) en pisar la Luna. Pero la URSS podrá siempre decir que uno de los suyos, Leonov, dió el primer paseo espacial. _ Hazte mecenas de Simple Política: https://www.patreon.com/simplepolitica Visita nuestra web: https://www.simplepolitica.com/ Síguenos en Twitter: https://twitter.com/simple_politica Síguenos en Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/simplepolitica

La saga del maestro Sir Arthur C Clarke continúa. Ahora, a bordo de la astronave Leonov, Heywood Floyd, el Dr. Chandra y la tripulación de cosmonautas soviéticos viajan a toda velocidad con destino a la órbita joviana para descubrir qué fue lo que pasó con HAL 9000, el Discovery Uno y de paso seguir estudiando el monolito.

Benvenuti alla quarta puntata di Beyond Space! Questa settimana parleremo di alcune notizie, come l'arrivo del rover cinese Zhurong su Marte, della missione Osiris-Rex, dei problemi al razzo Ariane V per il lancio del James Webb Space Telescope, delle missioni private della SpaceX sulla ISS (la prima crew è già stata scelta!) ma soprattutto vi racconto la storia pazzesca della prima passeggiata spaziale di sempre. Spoiler alert: comprende incidenti di vario tipo, foreste siberiane e una pistola. Questa non vorrete perdervela!

Breaking News: Die NASA landet ihren Rover “Perseverance” auf dem Mars. Und da Clara ihren Kopf seitdem sowieso voller Sterne hat, machen wir in dieser Folge einen Ausflug ins All und unterhalten uns über all (haha) die spannenden, skurrilen und erstaunlichen Experimente und Erkenntnisse, die uns die biowissenschaftliche Forschung im Orbit bisher beschert hat. Oder zumindest werfen wir einen Blick in jenes weite Feld, denn alle Themen abzudecken, wäre in der Tat ein großer Schritt für einen kleinen Podcast. Die Auswahl der Themengebiete erfolgt daher eher nach dem Kriterium der Wortwitztauglichkeit - so geht es um Antronauts, um Safe Space Salad und um Mondbäume. Und darum, dass wir in diesem Sonnensystem nur gemeinsam etwas reißen können. Also schnallt euch an!

Francisco José Ramírez Vicente (Fran Ramírez) es Security Researcher en Telefónica, fundador y escritor del blog Cyberhades sobre ciberseguridad, historia de la informática y cualquier tema geek, además es coautor de varios libros y ponente habitual en eventos tanto nacionales como internacionales. Hoy Fran, nos regala dos minutos en los que explora como la Ciencia Ficción nos muestra el futuro de la Inteligencia Artificial. ¡Disfrutad! En la fantástica secuela de la maravillosa película “2001: Una Odisea en el Espacio” llamada “2010: Odisea Dos”, una tripulación de científicos rusos y americanos viajan a Júpiter para entender qué pasó con HAL 9000, la Inteligencia Artificial que estaba a los mandos de la nave Discovery en la primera película. La nave Leonov, llega a Júpiter para intentar averiguar qué le ocurrió a la Discovery y encontrar el motivo del mal funcionamiento de HAL 9000. Entre los tripulantes que viajaban en la Leonov, se encontraba el Dr. Chandra, posiblemente el personaje más interesante de la película, el cual además es el padre en la ficción de la serie de ordenadores 9000. Según los libros de Arthur C. Clark, Dr.Chandra es un científico, pero no hay ninguna referencia que especifique a qué disciplina de la ciencia se dedicaba. Puede parecer obvio que fuera físico o informático, pero yo prefiero pensar en el Dr. Chandra era más un psicólogo que en un ingeniero (o posiblemente ambos). En la película Chandra no utiliza la programación para intentar saber qué ha pasado con HAL. Simplemente se dedica a hablar de forma coloquial e incluso cariñosa como cualquier interacción entre un psicólogo y sus pacientes. Y esto que nos parece Ciencia Ficción, posiblemente será la forma de interactuar con las inteligencias artificiales dentro de unos años, es decir, pasaremos de programar máquinas utilizando lenguajes de programación y matemáticas a programarlas hablando con ellas directamente intentando hacerlas razonar para que ellas mismas se reprogramen internamente. Si quieres saber cómo será el futuro de la Inteligencia Artificia, es muy complicado hacer una aproximación exacta de lo que nos espera, pero existe una forma, que además de divertida nos puede dar una visión más que probable. Y esta se llama Ciencia Ficción.Fran Ramírez Contacto: https://www.mypublicinbox.com/MasAlladelaInnovacion Música: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/ byKevin McLeod Licencia : Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA)

Cinquantanove anni fa la conquista umana dello spazio diventava realtà. È il 12 aprile 1961 quando a bordo della capsula Vostok-1, il cosmonauta sovietico Yuri Gagarin, classe 1934, diventa il primo uomo a raggiungere lo spazio. Compie un’intera orbita intorno al nostro pianeta, trascorrendo complessivamente 108 minuti tra le stelle. Al ritorno diventa eroe nazionale per l’ex Unione Sovietica, che grazie al cosmonauta vince contro gli Stati Uniti il secondo round della corsa allo spazio, dopo la messa in orbita, quattro anni prima, del primo satellite artificiale, lo Sputnik. Ma al tempo stesso Gagarin diviene icona mondiale dello spirito di avventura umana, e ancora oggi resta fonte di ispirazione per una conquista lontana dall’essersi conclusa: quella che nei prossimi anni porterà l’uomo a immergersi nello spazio profondo fino a mettere, un giorno, piede su Marte.Le imprese di Gagarin, come quelle di Armstrong e di Leonov, sono state raccontate più volte nei film. Non perdetevi l’appuntamento di domani ore 15:00, in diretta su Facebook e Youtube con La Guerra dei Mondi, la rubrica sul cinema di fantascienza di Global Science. Tema della puntata le migliori pellicole dedicate ai primi uomini dello spazio, di cui parleremo insieme ai nostri ospiti, la regista Susanna Nicchiarelli e l’astronauta Roberto Vittori. Vi aspettiamo!

De missie van de Russen was simpel: een man door de Ruimte laten zweven, met alleen een pak om hem te beschermen. Een ruimtewandeling. De ogen van de wereld waren op kosmonaut Aleksej Leonov gericht, toen hij in 1965 uit zijn ruimteschip gleed. Hij wist niet dat hij enkele minuten later in levensgevaar zou zijn. Ruimtevaartjournalist Piet Smolders vertelt over zijn interviews met Leonov, de Russische ruimtevaart in de Koude Oorlog en zijn fascinatie met alles wat met de Ruimte te maken heeft.

Ein Jahr befinden wir uns jetzt schon in Pause. Und leider muss die Pause noch ein wenig länger gehen. Aber Irgendwann 2020 soll es auf jeden Fall weitergehen. Doch auch dieses Jahr waren wir wieder auf dem 36C3 in Leipzig. Und dort haben wir die Chance genutzt wenigstens einmal über die Raumfahrt im Jahr 2019 zu reden. Dazu gibt es noch ein kurzes Interview mit Florian und Linus des studentischen Raketenprojekts AQUASONIC II von der Hochschule Bremen. Shownotes mit weiterführenden Links zu den Themen der Sendung findet ihr auch unter: https://countdown.podigee.io/114-cd084-jahresruckblick-2019

Remembering Alexei Leonov, Ginger Baker, Karen PendletonIn March of 1965, the Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov became the first man to walk in space, traveling in the space capsule Voskhod 2. Leonov went on to become one of the most respected space travellers in the Soviet Union and in the United States as well. Ginger Baker was the tempestuous British rock drummer best known for his work in Cream, the first rock supergroup. In Cream, Baker teamed with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce. He went on to play in other groups including Blind Faith with Stevie Winwood. Karen Pendleton was one of the original Mouseketeers in the Walt Disney’s television series The Mickey Mouse Club. She was also one of the youngest Mouseketeers and she stayed during the entire run of the series.

Ready for a party in your ears from those wacky Nerds again? This week we are celebrating, scratching our chins in suspicion, and looking at upcoming events that we can use to make money. But first, grab a cup of Earl Grey, hot, get a comfy seat and get ready because we have a party. It’s here, that marvellous time of year when we find out who has won a noble prize! It’s awesome, kind of like a Nerds holiday celebrating knowledge and learning, yay! For those wondering Buck is bouncing around the office with excitement. Speaking of which, his topic this week is the Nobel prize winners in Chemistry, and it is for the Lithium Ion battery. A long time coming we know, but still, it is definitely worthy. Buck is still reading the lists and articles about this, and the Professor is enjoying this to.Next up we have DJ telling us about the latest with him doing little, erm, um, oh, sorry. Apparently it is about the new Dolittle movie, not him being lazy. Now there are some interesting points in this section so make sure you listen carefully. We won’t give away all the details here, no, listen in and see what is happening. We can tell you there is a name change, and no, it isn’t DJ being rebranded to some funny name such as Purveyance Slave Droid. Mainly because he still hasn’t learned how to make the perfect cup of Earl Grey.Next we hear how someone has had an epically lucky coincidence when naming their crowd funding campaign. We are told it is completely unintentional though. Although Buck thinks that this is the next generation of Citizen Con, sorry, Star Con, no, what is it, star rippoff? Oh you know what we mean. Anyway, this bloke was trying to raise capital for a game he was developing and listen in to hear the rest of this fantastic story.As usual we have the shout outs, with special mention to Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, the first all female spacewalk crew. Then we have the usual remembrances, birthdays and special events. We are going to be appearing at Supanova Brisbane so stop by and say hello, we will be happy to see you, also we have a special announcement this next week. Until then, take care of yourselves, look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019 winners - https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/science-technology/chemistry-nobel-for-development-of-lithium-ion-batteries-67159Dolittle movie update - https://deadline.com/video/universal-dolittle-robert-downey-jr-trailer/Day of Dragons confusion - https://twitter.com/icotom/status/1182291839027761152?s=20Games currently playingDJ– MK 11 - https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/mortal-kombat-11-ps4/Rating – 4/5Buck– World of Warships - https://worldofwarships.com/Rating – 4.5/5Professor– Creeper World 3 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/280220/Creeper_World_3_Arc_Eternal/Rating – 9/10Other topics discussedKryten (Red Dwarf character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KrytenJohn Goodenough (Oldest Nobel Prize winner at the age of 97)- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-09/nobel-prize-in-chemistry-for-lithium-ion-battery-development/11588298More facts about the Lithium-ion battery- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery1970s energy crisis (Major industrial countries of the world, particularly the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, faced substantial petroleum shortages, real and perceived, as well as elevated prices.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s_energy_crisisElectroBOOM (Iranian Canadian comedian, electrical engineer and YouTube personality.)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwIvUbOhcKERoast Rabbit (from the Warner Brothers show : Wackiki Wabbit)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6feJ7k36BPkEnergizer lithium ion batteries- https://www.energizer.com/batteries/energizer-ultimate-lithium-batteriesMemory effect (also known as battery effect, lazy battery effect, or battery memory, is an effect observed in nickel-cadmium and nickel–metal hydride rechargeable batteries that causes them to hold less charge.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effectNickel Cadmium batteries (type of rechargeable battery using nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–cadmium_batteryHow to prolong lithium batteries- https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteriesBaghdad battery (also known as Parthian Battery is a set of three artefacts which were found together: a ceramic pot, a tube of copper, and a rod of iron.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_BatteryOxford Electric Bell (also known as Clarendon Dry Pile is an experimental electric bell that was set up in 1840 and which has run nearly continuously ever since.

On 18 March 1965, he became the first human to conduct a spacewalk, exiting the capsule during the Voskhod 2 mission for 12 minutes and 9 seconds. He was connected to the craft by a 4.8-metre (16 ft) tether. At the end of the spacewalk, Leonov's spacesuit had inflated in the vacuum of space to the point where he could not re-enter the airlock. He opened a valve to allow some of the suit's pressure to bleed off and was barely able to get back inside the capsule. Leonov had spent eighteen months undergoing weightlessness training for the mission. In July 1975, Leonov commanded the Soyuz capsule in the Soyuz–Apollo mission, which docked in space for two days with an American Apollo capsule. Leonov was an accomplished artist whose published books include albums of his artistic works and works he did in collaboration with his friend Andrei Sokolov. Leonov took coloured pencils and paper into space, where he sketched the Earth and drew portraits of the Apollo astronauts who flew with him during the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project. Arthur C. Clarke wrote in his notes to 2010: Odyssey Two that, after a 1968 screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Leonov pointed out to him that the alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun shown in the opening is essentially the same as that in Leonov's 1967 painting Near the Moon, although the painting's diagonal framing of the scene was not replicated in the film. Clarke kept an autographed sketch of this painting—which Leonov made after the screening—hanging on his office wall. Clarke dedicated 2010: Odyssey Two to Leonov and Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov; and the fictional spaceship in the book is named Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov. He was the last living member of the five cosmonauts in the Voskhod programme. He died from a long illness at the age of 85 in Moscow. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Leonov11 Oct 2019 - Robert Forster , American actor, known for his roles as John Cassellis in Haskell Wexler's Medium Cool, Lebanese terrorist Abdul Rafai in The Delta Force, and Max Cherry in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, for which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Forster's varied filmography further includes titles such as Me, Myself & Irene, Mulholland Drive, The Descendants, Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, and What They Had. He also had prominent roles in television series such as Banyon, Heroes, and Twin Peaks (2017). He won the Saturn Award for Best Guest Starring Role on Television for his performance as Ed Galbraith also referred to as the Disappearer in the Breaking Bad episode "Granite State", reprising his role in the series' sequel film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, which premiered the day of his death. He died from brain cancer at the age of 78 in Los Angeles, California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Forster14 Oct 1984 – Sir Martin Ryle, Englishradio astronomer who developed revolutionary radio telescope systems and used them for accurate location and imaging of weak radio sources. In 1946 Ryle and Derek Vonberg were the first people to publish interferometric astronomical measurements at radio wavelengths. With improved equipment, Ryle observed the most distant known galaxies in the universe at that time. He was the first Professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Cambridge, and founding director of the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. He was Astronomer Royal from 1972 to 1982. Ryle and Antony Hewish shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974, the first Nobel prize awarded in recognition of astronomical research.[6] In the 1970s, Ryle turned the greater part of his attention from astronomy to social and political issues which he considered to be more urgent. He died from a long illness at the age of 66 in Cambridge. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_RyleFamous Birthdays14 Oct 1801 - Joseph Plateau, Belgian physicist and mathematician. He was one of the first people to demonstrate the illusion of a moving image. To do this, he used counterrotating disks with repeating drawn images in small increments of motion on one and regularly spaced slits in the other. He called this device of 1832 the phenakistiscope. The projection of stroboscopic photographs, creating the illusion of motion, eventually led to the development of cinema. Plateau also studied the phenomena of capillary action and surface tension. The mathematical problem of existence of a minimal surface with a given boundary is named after him. He conducted extensive studies of soap films and formulated Plateau's laws which describe the structures formed by such films in foams. He was born in Brussels - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Plateau14 Oct 1927 – Sir Roger Moore, English actor best known for playing British secret agent James Bond in seven feature films from 1973 to 1985, beginning with Live and Let Die. His most notable television role was playing the main character, Simon Templar, in the British television series The Saint from 1962 to 1969. He also had roles in some American television shows and films in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including replacing James Garner and portraying Beau Maverick in the Maverick series in 1960 to 61. Moore starred with Tony Curtis in The Persuaders television series in 1971 to 1972, and had roles in several theatrical films in the 1970s and 1980s. Moore was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1991 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 for services to charity. In 2007, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work in television and film. In 2008, the French government appointed him a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He was born in Stockwell, London - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Moore14 Oct 1946 - Katy Manning, English-Australian actress best known for her part as the companion Jo Grant in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. She has also made many theatre appearances, and is now an Australian citizen. In 2009, Manning moved back to the UK to pursue new acting work and currently lives in London. While she played the part of Jo Grant alongside Jon Pertwee's incarnation of the Doctor, Manning struck up an immediate rapport with her co-stars Pertwee, Nicholas Courtney (The Brigadier), John Levene (Sergeant Benton), Richard Franklin (Captain Mike Yates) and Roger Delgado (the Master). Fans of Doctor Who often refer to these characters as the UNIT family — UNIT, the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, being the fictional United Nations organisation that the Doctor worked for. Manning is the only surviving Doctor Who companion from Jon Pertwee's era. She was born in Guildford, Surrey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy_ManningEvents of Interest14 Oct 1884 - George Eastman patents paper-strip photographic film. Eastman's invention revolutionized photography by using coated paper and rollers, rather than heavy glass dry plates, to reproduce images. Eastman began looking for ways to "make the camera as convenient as the pencil," after amassing the heavy, complicated, and expensive equipment he needed to keep a picture record of his vacation. This invention allowed him to mass produce a small hand-held box camera filled with rolls of film with 100 exposures. Millions of Americans recorded the first snap shots of their everyday lives using the Kodak camera, which was introduced in 1888.- https://www.uspto.gov/about-us/news-updates/kodak-film-patent-issued-october-14-1884- https://patents.google.com/patent/US306594A/en14 Oct 1892 - Arthur Conan Doyle publishes "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" collection of 12 stories originally published serially in "The Strand Magazine". The stories are collected in the same sequence, which is not supported by any fictional chronology. The only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson and all are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Sherlock_Holmes14 Oct 1926 - Winnie the Pooh was published, written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepard. The book focuses on the adventures of a teddy bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, a small toy pig; Eeyore, a toy donkey; Owl, a live owl; and Rabbit, a live rabbit. The characters of Kanga, a toy kangaroo, and her son Roo are introduced later in the book, in the chapter entitled "In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath". The bouncy toy-tiger character of Tigger is not introduced until the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnie-the-Pooh_(book)14 Oct 1947 - Chuck Yeager becomes the first person to exceed the speed of sound, Yeager flew the X-1 rocket over Rogers Dry Lake in Southern California. The X-1 was lifted to an altitude of 25,000 feet by a B-29 aircraft and then released through the bomb bay, rocketing to 40,000 feet and exceeding 662 miles per hour (the sound barrier at that altitude). The rocket plane nicknamed “Glamorous Glennis” (after Yeager's wife), was designed with thin, unswept wings and a streamlined fuselage modeled after a .50-caliber bullet. Because of the secrecy of the project, Bell and Yeager’s achievement was not announced until June 1948. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/yeager-breaks-sound-barrierIntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssGeneral EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.com

Two things happened this week. Last Friday, Alexey Leonov, the first human to walk in space (in 1965), passed away. And this morning, Christina Koch and Jessica Meir went on the first all-women spacewalk on the ISS. So two historic events. And they got me thinking about the meaning of we in its most universalist, species-level sense.Let’s take them in order.Alexey Leonov was the first human to walk in space. He was also on the crew of one of the earliest experiments in international space cooperation, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, ASTP. So this was at the height of the Cold War.Before we had the ISS, the ASTP mission was as close as humans have ever come to a Star Trek like Federation. In some ways, it was a more impressive technical, social and political achievement, since it was at the height of the Cold War, and the mission had to be designed around the existing US and Soviet programs, which used different designs, unlike the ISS, which was designed collaboratively by multiple nations. As a kid, I owned a beautifully written and illustrated book by Leonov about ASTP (he was also an accomplished artist, if you google him, you’ll find a bunch of his paintings, including space paintings), and though this may sound cheesy, that book was probably one of the things that got me interested in space technology and end up going to graduate school for aerospace engineering, where I worked on space mission problems for my PhD.I remember a drawing of the Apollo-Soyuz docking mechanism in particular in Leonov’s book, and wondering at the time about the general problem of linking two incompatible technologies, which I think is kinda really symbolic of the whole problem of species-level human coordination. I want to digress a bit to talk about that. If you’re an engineer you know this: in any design, any time two parts come together to form a coupling, they tend to be designed asymmetrically, because that tends to be the easiest way. So one part gets designated male and the other part female, and the logic is the logic you would expect. It’s one of the rare funny bits of sexual logic in the generally sexless world of engineering jargon. Later, as an adult, long after I read Leonov’s book, I heard this story (I don’t know how true it is) that one of the bones of contention — which Leonov didn’t talk about in his book — was making sure the docking system design was symmetrical, in the form of what is known as an androgynous coupling, because neither side wanted to be the “female” side. Apparently the nickname of the system was “androgynous brothers”, which I find hilarious. The official justification was of course, more technical: that with an androgynous coupling, either side could play the active or passive role, and that would make for greater mission flexibility and system-level redundancy. But I kinda buy the theory that the system ended up ungendered for less technical reasons. It sorta makes sense for that era of technology.You could say ASTP was consciously designed to not just be a showcase of global cooperation, briefly forgetting the divide between the two sides of the Cold War. It also ended up being unintentionally gender-neutral for what were perhaps the wrong reasons. Long before we had culture wars about gender-neutral bathrooms here on earth.And speaking of gender and space, that brings us to the second historic event of the week.This morning, I just happened to catch a retweet of the NASA live feed of the space walk. I had no idea it was going on, but I am always willing to interrupt whatever I’m doing to watch space stuff. So I started watching, and I found myself drawn to the very basic shared human things that space forces us to grapple with. For example, I found myself noting and counting the orientation words the astronauts were using, like up, down, aft, fore etc and wondering about how humans think and talk about orientation in microgravity, where there is no natural direction of up, which is of course one of the most basic shared human things, a shared sense of which way is up. At the back of my mind I was also wondering if women coordinate and communicate any differently on complex tasks than men. The ground control person was also a woman, so the entire audio-track for the live broadcast was female, which was interesting. But the gender aspect was less interesting to me than the basic human aspect. Here we are, as bodies in space, being governed by the laws of classical physics. Inertia, movement, velocities, accelerations. That was the more interesting part.In fact, I didn’t realize till later, when I read up on the event, that it was a historic all-women spacewalk that had to be canceled once before because they didn’t have two spacesuits of the right size. Anyhow, the two events together got me thinking about our sense of collective nouns like “us” and “we” and how in everyday life, they tend to factor across obvious tribal, gender, or other sorts of identity faultlines. Sometimes, it can seem like there is no such thing as a shared “we” that applies to humanity as a whole. In my more cynical moments, I tend to think that every use of the word “we” is a disingenuous attempt to humanize some people at the expense of others. My line about this is a version of the principle: you cut the cake, I’ll pick the bigger half. The identitarian version is: you decide what rights are basic human rights, I’ll decide who counts as human. Which is the version that has historically been the most common one practiced. When people say “we the people,” they typically mean a particular subset of people counting as human.Space missions are a reminder that there is substance to both the differences and commonalities that make us human. On the one hand, space missions reinforce the sense of idealism that yes, there is in fact such a thing as a non-vacuous universal “we” that includes all humans, and perhaps all living things. When any human does something interesting in space, we all participate in the moment. When I logged on this morning, there were 14,000 viewers of the live feed. That’s fascinating. Honestly, I’d be very interested in seeing the demographic breakdown of that audience. When any human does something in space, what they do is human at a very basic level: they move, they breathe air, the grip things, they communicate. All the trivial unconscious shared humanity, including a sense of up, that we forget here on earth, becomes a very live concern in space. So yeah, the idealism has substance.Hell, even a dog or monkey in space evokes identification. Recently, a Chinese lunar lander recently even grew a sapling on the Moon, and frankly, I identify with that sapling too. Life in space is a very powerful reminder of how much all of life has in common. Yes, there is a Hobbesian struggle of nature-red-in-tooth-and-claw aspect, so there is that aspect of nature as well, but it is amazing how much life has in common.But on the other hand, space is also a reminder that we can’t pretend identity issues are entirely made-up political b******t. We’ve had a complex bit of space technology, the ASTP docking system, possibly designed a certain way because of gender sensitivities. We apparently had the first all-female spacewalk delayed because they didn’t have two suits in the right size. And these are not cosmetic matters. It’s not all virtue signaling or identity signaling. Matters of life and death hinge on things like spacesuits being the right size. The live video showed this starkly: periodically the ground controller would ask the astronauts for suit checks. So, it’s real life-and-death stuff.So yeah, space missions show us that both our differences and commonalities have deep substance to them.But overall, the moral of the story of space exploration as revealed by the events of this week, reflecting on the life of Alexey Leonov, ASTP and the historic event of the first all-woman spacewalk, is a pretty uplifting one. It’s hard, but we don’t have to choose between immutably essentialized identities on the one hand, and universalist tendencies to identity with all life on the other. Our differences and similarities are both real, and they both matter, and we — and I do mean we as a species now — we have to learn to accommodate both in our collectivist tendencies. They both matter, differences and commonalities.And to bring this back to earth from space, when we think about this in terms of all the things that absorb us here on earth everyday as part of the culture wars, and the news headlines. And you make that seemingly sophisticated argument, whenever somebody says we must do this, we must combat climate change, we must combat sexism, we must not let identity and political correctness destroy things. Whichever side you’re on, there’s a lot of we and us words being used in conversation, and most of the time, they indicate we’s and us’es that are less than universal, and we all recognize that, and sometimes we call each other out on it. Like one of the most common sophomoric debate tactics is, when an opponent says something like we must do X, you challenge them on what we are we talking about here. Even though this is a tactic you learn in college, it is important to call out, and force people to define and defend the level of collectivism at which they think good things are good and evil things are evil. You kinda have to make people take ownership of their we’s and us’es.So that’s the reflection of the week on the lessons of space walks and historic space events here on earth. If you didn’t know any of this history, I recommend taking 15 minutes to google and learn about it. It’s fascinating stuff, especially the ASTP mission.

Le cosmonaute aux sept vies. En Russie, c’est une légende vivante, un héros national comme il n’en existe plus. Leonov est surtout connu comme ayant été le premier homme à avoir «marché dans l’espace», le premier à être sorti de son vaisseau spatial, Voskhod 2, le 18 mars 1965. On l’a par conséquent surnommé le «piéton de l’espace». Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/voyagedanslespace

Något har hänt. Ryssland hårdsatsar på patriotiska storfilmer, men vad är det för budskap de förmedlar? David Isaksson ser hur det slavofila idealet ersatts av ett västerländskt. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Våren 2014, strax efter att Krimhalvön annekterats, meddelade Rysslands kulturminister Vladimir Medinskij att hans departement nu särskilt skulle satsa på patriotisk film. Sådan hade förstås gjorts tidigare. Under Vladimir Putins tid vid makten har Sovjetunionens seger i andra världskriget kommit att bli central i historiebruket, vilket lett en strid ström av filmer om militära triumfer och hjältedåd. Några av dessa filmer, som Fjodor Bondartjuks Stalingrad, har varit framgångsrika, medan andra mötts av måttlig entusiasm från både kritiker och publik. Krigsfilmen är till sin natur begränsad. Till slut känns ännu en skyttegrav, intagen kulle eller lerig soldat lite enahanda. Inte så att det rör sig om ett plagiat, men varje bildruta följer den amerikanska filmfabrikens genrekrav. Den satsning kulturminister som Medinskij talade om hade därför till syfte att bredda utbudet och med tiden kunde man se en ny typ av patriotiska filmer på ryska biografer. Även dom berättar om segrar, men dom utspelas inte på slagfältet. Ett sevärt exempel är När vi var först från 2017 som berättar om när kosmonauten Aleksej Leonov genomförde världshistoriens första rymdpromenad. Filmen börjar 1963 då rymdkapplöpningen pågår för fullt. Sovjetunionen har ett försprång, men USA knappar in och därför tidigareläggs avfärden. Väl ute i rymden står det klart att man haft för bråttom. Leonovs kosmonautdräkt är felkonstruerad. Den sväller och han kan knappt röra sig. En av filmens höjdpunkter är den andlöst spännande scen när Leonov efter sin rymdpromenad kämpar för att ta sig tillbaka in i rymdkapseln innan syret tar slut. När vi var först är en hyllning till en tid när Sovjetunionen verkligen var först. Det är en film full av hammare, skäror och röda stjärnor. Men trots alla sovjetsymboler så kan tittaren inte undgå att lägga märke att När vi var först liknar filmer som Apollo 13, Det rätta virket och framförallt Top Gun. Inte så att det rör sig om ett plagiat, men varje bildruta följer den amerikanska filmfabrikens genrekrav. Den här likheten gäller inte bara formen, utan också det ideologiska innehållet. För i När vi var först, precis som i de amerikanska föregångarna, är det individen som avgör historien. Kosmonaut Leonov är lojal mot ledningen i det att han till varje pris vill genomföra sin rymdpromenad, men han bryter mot överordnades order när han måste. Det är hans vilja, improvisationsförmåga och mod som gör att rymdfärden får ett lyckligt slut. Flera av de nya patriotiska filmerna har hämtat material från idrottens värld. Kassasuccén Rörelse uppåt bygger också på en sann historia. Den berättar om hur Sovjetunionens basketlag lyckades besegra USA i München 1972 och därmed vann OS-guld. I filmen kämpar en okonventionell sovjetisk tränare mot en oförstående landslagsledning. Hans lag har dåliga förutsättningar, men eftersom de är villiga att förändra sig lyckas mot alla odds slå världen bästa basketlag. På ett sätt är det inte konstigt att de ryska filmerna liknar amerikanska klassiker. Nationalism handlar till stor del om den egna nationens förträfflighet. I slutändan kan man lika gärna byta ut en flagga mot en annan. Ryssland ses som något annat än Väst, en egen civilisation som försvarar traditionella ryska värderingar och den inhemska filmen får då till uppgift att propagera denna ryskhet. Men en sak gör ändå det här fenomenet märkligt, i Ryssland på 1800-talet uppstod en romantisk nationalistisk idétradition, den slavofila, vars centrala tanke var att landet i grunden skiljer sig från det så kallade Väst. Slavofilerna såg att Ryssland inte var lika avancerat som Europa när det gällde ekonomi och teknik, men gjorde det till landets styrka. Ryssland var oförstört och moraliskt överlägset. Medan Väst var ytligt och materialistiskt var Ryssland andligt och orealiserat. Sådana slavofila idéer verkade klart i bakgrunden när kulturminister Medinskij drev igenom sin nya filmpolitik. Ryssland ses som något annat än Väst, en egen civilisation som försvarar traditionella ryska värderingar och den inhemska filmen får då till uppgift att propagera denna ryskhet. Den som inte stödjer sin egen kultur, stödjer fiendens armé sa Medinskij i flera intervjuer. Men om budskapet som ska förmedlas är att Ryssland är annorlunda verkar det märkligt att ge produktionsstöd till filmer som i allt väsentligt liknar amerikanska. När filmerna hyllar personlig framgång och konsumtionskultur går det på tvärs med den slavofila ideologin där sådant anses vara tecken på Västs dekadens. För slavofilerna har Ryssland en inre kvalitet, men i de nya patriotiska filmerna ser man inget av det. Hur man skulle kunna få biopubliken att välja en slavofil film som hyllar enkelt ryskt byliv, framför det senaste amerikanska superhjälteeposet är inte lätt att först Så hur går det här ihop? Om Ryssland skiljer sig så mycket från det så kallade Väst, varför är ryska patriotiska filmer så lika amerikanska?  Ja, en förklaring är att dagens Ryssland på många sätt inte är så annorlunda. Skribenten Tony Wood menar i sin bok Russia Without Putin från år 2018 att Putin på det stora hela bevarade det system som hans föregångare Boris Jeltsin skapade. Ryssland är ett i grunden ett kapitalistiskt land. Ingen skulle kalla det en perfekt marknad. Kremllojala leder de stora oljeföretagen. Yttrande- och mediefrihet är begränsad och domstolar inte självständiga. Men för den vanliga medborgaren gäller otrygghet, stenhård konkurrens på arbetsmarknaden och självförverkligande genom konsumtion. Faktum är att även de patriotiska filmerna verkar på en marknad. De tävlar med Hollywoods främsta succéer. Hur man skulle kunna få biopubliken att välja en slavofil film som hyllar enkelt ryskt byliv, framför det senaste amerikanska superhjälteeposet är inte lätt att förstå. Att de patriotiska filmerna saknar en egen ideologi och estetik speglar Ryssland i stort, där ryska politiker länge letat efter en nationell idé.  Men trots allt tal om att vara annorlunda så har inte någon trovärdig sådan kunnat presenteras.   Ändå tror jag att de här filmerna fungerar som propaganda. Men deras styrka ligger i formen, snarare än innehållet. Segrarna det berättas om är naturligtvis tänkta att väcka nationell stolthet, men viktigare är att filmernas tekniska briljans är minst lika imponerande som en guldmedalj i München.   I Fjodor Bondatjuks film Gravitation skjuter den ryska militären ner ett jättelikt rymdskepp över Moskva. När det störtar och mejar ner höghusen i förorten Norra Tjertanova häpnar vi i publiken över det faktum att Ryssland kan göra sådan film. Till slut är det denna professionalism, och inte det ideologiska innehållet, som fungerar som ett monument till det samtida Rysslands storhet. David Isaksson, frilansjournalist baserad i Ryssland

A great onboarding experience involves plenty of forms, a few handshakes, and a small chance of a working laptop - or so it might seem. But does it have to be so bureaucratic? We think not. On this week's GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by the CIPD's David Hayden and GP Strategies' Danny Seals to explore a better approach. We discuss the link between recruitment and onboarding, the role of the manager, and the characteristics of a great experience. And we take a stab at defending the word 'onboarding'. If you'd like to share your thoughts on this episode, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP, @owenferguson, @HaydenDavidhrd and @DannyBoy83.

Andrea e Giuliana per questa puntata 204, che si apre con Andrea che si scusa per una inesattezza nell'episodio 202: Leonov non era solo, nel suo primo volo orbitale... ma non lo invidiamo lo stesso ;)La puntata entra nel vivo con una discussione sulle unità di misura e su come potrebbe essere una formula famosa come E=mc2 se venisse scritta da un alieno.Valeria ha intervistato alcuni protagonisti delle finali di Giovedì Scienza, splendida manifestazione che si tiene da anni a Torino e che vede "scontrarsi" giovani ricercatori che si cimentano nella divulgazione della loro ricerca. La nostra Valeria ha vinto un premio, e siamo tutti orgogliosissimi di lei! La prima intervista che ci propone è a Serena Aneli, dottoranda dell'Università di Torino e vincitrice del primo premio. Ci parla del patrimonio genetico di Homo neanderthalensis che ancora troviamo in noi stessi, gli Homo sapiens.Continuiamo con un'altra domanda: perché alcune cose bruciano e altre fondono, quando le scaldiamo? qui si mescolano fisica e chimica, e speriamo di esserne usciti bene...Torna infine Valeria con un'altra intervista a Giovedì Scienza, questa volta a Stefano Stassi, ricercatore del Politecnico di Torino, che si occupa di recuperare energia elettrica dal movimento, con generatori piezoelettrici e triboelettrici.

Leonov opened the airlocks outer hatch He was positioned on his “back” and this orientation revealed the beauty of earth in its entirety.  His heart began to race as he pushed his upper body outside and saw the deep blue vista of the Mediterranean Sea, fringed by the easily recognizable shapes of Greece and Italy and, farther east, the Crimea, the Caucasus Mountains, and the Volga River…

U.S. public safety officials are getting ready to release more details about enhanced security for this year's Boston Marathon. Local, state and federal agencies, the Boston Athletic Association and leaders from the eight communities that make up the marathon route are expected to reveal the new security measures. Authorities have been meeting for months to come up with a plan to beef up security for the April 21st marathon, following last year's deadly terror attack. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured after two bombs exploded near the finish line of the race. This year, police are expecting about 36,000 runners and up to a million spectators. This is NEWS Plus Special English. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Ding Lulu in Beijing. We stay in the U.S. Should shoppers turn off their smartphones when they hit the supermarket or shopping center? Or does having them on lead to better sales or shorter lines at the checkout? Retailers in the United States are using mobile-based technology to track shoppers' movements at some malls and stores. The companies collecting the information say it's anonymous, can't be traced to a specific person and no one should worry about invasion of privacy. But consumer advocates aren't convinced. They say it's spying, and shoppers should be informed if their phones are being observed or monitored and then be able to choose whether to allow it. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission held a workshop on the issue, part of a series of privacy seminars looking at emerging technologies and the impact on consumers. FTC attorney Amanda Koulousias says the commission wants to better understand how companies are using phone-location technology, how robust privacy controls are and whether shoppers are notified in advance. Here's how the technology works: Your smartphone has a unique identifier code - a MAC, or media access control address - for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It's a 12-character string of letters and numbers. Think of it like a Social Security or vehicle identification number. In the U.S, this address is not linked to personal information, like your name, email address or phone number. The numbers and letters link only to a specific phone. When your smartphone is turned on, it sends out signals with that MAC address as it searches for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Those signals can also be captured by sensors in shops that can tell a department store how often shoppers visit, how long they stay, whether they spend more time in the shoe department, children's clothing section or sporting goods, for example, or whether they stop for the window display, and then decide to move on. Companies that provide "mobile location analytics" to retailers, grocery stores, airports and other outlets say they capture the MAC addresses of shoppers' phones but then scramble them into different sets of numbers and letters to conceal the original addresses - a process called hashing. This is how they make the data they collect anonymous. The companies then analyze all the information those hashed numbers provide as shoppers move from store to store, or department to department within a store. Shopping center managers could learn which stores are popular and which ones aren't. A retailer could learn how long the queues are at a certain cash register, how long people have to wait - or whether more people visit on "sale" days at a particular shop. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Ding Lulu in Beijing. Finally, a piece of history revisit. On March 18th, 1965, Russian cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov became the first human to conduct an extra-vehicular activity, also known as a spacewalk. Leonov was outside the spacecraft 'Voskhot 2' for 12 minutes and nine seconds, connected to the craft by a 5-meter-long tether. At the end of the spacewalk, Leonov's spacesuit had inflated in the vacuum of space that he could not re-enter the airlock. He opened a valve to allow some of the suit's pressure to bleed off and was barely able to get back inside the capsule. As of November 2011, Leonov is the last survivor of the five cosmonauts in the Voskhod programme of the former Soviet Union. That brings us to the end of this edition of NEWS Plus Special English. To fresh up your memory, I'm going to read one of the news at normal speed. Please listen carefully. That is the end of today's program. I'm Ding Lulu in Beijing. Hope you can join us every day at CRI NEWS Plus Radio, to learn English and learn about the world.
