Welcome back to another amazing episode folks and this one has been years in the making as this guest was supposed to be on years ago but fate intervened. Well he finally was able to make a stop by and we had an amazing conversation that could of went on for hours. My guest is Daniel Jackson, host of Beyond the Veil on New Reality TV and spirit medium. Daniel and I had discussed many things including his constant visions of ghosts, reincarnation, disapproving astrology, archangels, life on mars, astral projection, and so much more. This is an episode that you're not going to want to mix.

When Tracy K. Smith was named U.S. Poet Laureate in 2017, the country was in a fragile place. In her new book, Smith writes that, by then, “we'd come to find ourselves in a climate of language — I'd call it a national vocabulary — grounded in fear, derision, and the notion of an intractably divided nation.”But Smith believes that poetry rises above the grim jargon. In “Fear Less: Poetry in Perilous Times,” she describes poetry as a vehicle equipped to transport us beyond facts and figures to places where we may not even know we want or need to go. Smith joins Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to explore how poetry is uniquely positioned to transform our understanding of each other. Along the way, they trade favorite poems, talk about why it's crucial that poetry be read out loud and discuss ways to make poetry more approachable — especially for those who only learned to diagram it in school. Guest: Tracy K. Smith is the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University. She served as the 22nd Poet Laureate of the United States and is the author of five poetry collections, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning “Life on Mars.” Her newest book is “Fear Less: Poetry in Perilous Times.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

On Thursday's show: AI-focused data centers have increased the demand for memory chips that drive many electronics consumers use. And that is driving up prices we pay to get them. Technology columnist Dwight Silverman explains, and he offers advice for how to spot AI being used in campaign ads or social media posts.Also this hour: As Johnson Space Center continues preparations for the next Artemis mission and America's return to the moon, it reminds us that NASA's long-term vision includes using the moon as a stepping-stone for future missions to Mars. But there is a lot to consider about what human beings spending extended time on the moon or Mars will mean. We talk that over with Rice University biology professor Scott Solomon, author of Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds.Then, we discuss the role the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary plays in protecting birds that migrate through Texas.And, as Olympic hockey games near their pinnacle this week, we talk with Chie Chie Yard, the first Houston native to play hockey in the Olympics. These days, she plans major events for the National Hockey League, and she is one of this year's Houston Hockey Hall of Fame inductees.Watch

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 21In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore intriguing revelations about the search for life on Mars, the surprising effects of Saturn's moon Enceladus on its planet, and the monumental volcanic events that reshaped Earth's tectonic landscape.Life on Mars: A New PerspectiveRecent findings suggest that non-biological processes cannot fully explain the organic compounds found in Martian regolith samples collected by NASA's Curiosity rover. Published in the journal Astrobiology, the study indicates that life may have contributed to some of these compounds, challenging previous assumptions. The research involved evaluating potential non-biological sources and concluded that the abundance of organics on Mars could hint at past life, sparking renewed interest in the Red Planet's potential habitability.Enceladus' Electromagnetic InfluenceA fascinating study reveals that Saturn's icy moon Enceladus trails a wake of electromagnetic ripples extending over half a million kilometers, significantly influencing its giant host planet. Data from NASA's Cassini mission demonstrated how Enceladus' geysers contribute to energy and momentum circulation within Saturn's magnetic environment, marking a crucial discovery about the moon's role in the Saturnian system.Earth's Volcanic HistoryNew research highlights how Earth's largest volcanic event, associated with the Ontong Java Plateau, dramatically altered a major tectonic plate. The findings suggest that extensive volcanic activity led to significant physiochemical modifications within the oceanic plate, enhancing our understanding of plate formation processes and the environmental impacts of such massive eruptions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrobiology, Geophysical Research Space Physics, Geophysical Research LettersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-with-stuart-gary--2458531/support.

In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery unpack six major space stories. China has achieved a crucial milestone in its crewed lunar programme, successfully testing the Mengzhou capsule's abort system at maximum dynamic pressure while also demonstrating SpaceX-style rocket recovery with the Long March 10 first stage. ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket is set to launch its longest mission yet, delivering GSSAP space surveillance satellites directly to geosynchronous orbit for the US Space Force. We explain why NASA's Artemis 2 Moon mission has remarkably few launch opportunities — just 11 dates across March and April — and what orbital mechanics, solar power constraints, and hydrogen leaks have to do with it. In astronomy news, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has produced its clearest image yet of the Egg Nebula, a pre-planetary nebula offering a rare glimpse of a Sun-like star in its death throes. A provocative new study in the journal Astrobiology argues that the 1976 Viking missions may have detected signs of Martian life after all, with perchlorates masking the organic signatures. And finally, astronomers continue searching for remnants of Comet C/2019 Y4 ATLAS, which spectacularly disintegrated during the 2020 pandemic — but may not be entirely gone.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From June, 2025. Today's 2 topics: - In the search for life on Mars, Europa, Titan, and elsewhere in the universe astro-biologists are scouring the Earth for creatures tough enough to flourish under really difficult conditions. So far the leading species are the Tardigrades commonly known as water bears or moss piglets. - Data are consistent with the hypothesis that the planet K2-18b is a Hycean planet with a warm liquid water ocean teaming with life and a thin hydrogen rich atmosphere containing methane and other molecules containing carbon. Scientists in an opposing camp point out what we might be observing is a rocky world with a hot life killing atmosphere.

Ce 22 septembre 1972 est une date que la jeune Christine Hynde n'oubliera jamais. Cela fait plus un an qu'elle a découvert un type extraordinaire grâce à un album : David Bowie. Un album qui parle d'un tas de choses, de littérature et de contre culture, sur une musique à nulle autre pareille … (Life on Mars ?). Elle en parle à tout le monde, y compris ses collègues serveuses, car elle jobbe pour financer ses activités, les études ne l'intéressent plus du tout.Et bien figurez-vous que c'est dans son trou perdu de l'Ohio que David Bowie alias Ziggy Stardust va donner son tout premier concert aux Etats-Unis. La voilà partie avec sa meilleure copine, Sue, pour Cleveland, c'est pas loin, dans la voiture de sa mère. Chrissie, 21 ans à peine, adore les concerts. Elle aime TOUT dans les concerts, y compris l'ambiance avant et après. Et donc, arrivée très tôt et patientant dans le froid, elle entend le groupe répéter quelques morceaux pour la balance. Et peu de temps après, que voit-elle ? David Bowie en Ziggy, immédiatement reconnaissable avec ses cheveux rouges, sortir à pied avec son entourage pour se rendre àl'hôtel.Vêtu d'un blouson vert et un jean sur ses plateformes, il passe à moins d'un mètre d'elle, comme dans un rêve. Puis, au moment de traverser la rue, il se retourne, la voit, semble hésiter, puis regarde de l'autre côté en disant quelque chose. Un de ses gardes du corps, du moins c'est ce qu'elle croit, le plus beau en plus, propose à sa copine et elle, de les accompagner. Chrissie n'a pas à se retourner, c'est bien à elles qu'il parle, il n'y a qu'elles deux sur ce trottoir. Pourtant avec leurs fringues en laine torsadée, elles n'ont pas le profil de fans de Ziggy.C'est tremblante d'émotion que Chrissie entre dans la suite du groupe anglais. Elle meurt d'envie d'engager la conversation alors, sans regarder Bowie, enfin Ziggy, dans les yeux, elle lui dit que le public de Cleveland va l'adorer s'il chante le titre de Lou Reed et du Velvet Underground qu'ils ont joué à la répétition. Ah, on va peut-être la faire, alors, répond Bowie en plaisantant. Il joue ce titre chaque soir, mais comment le saurait-elle ?L'histoire devient vertigineuse quand il lui demande si elle connaît un chouette endroit pour aller manger, carrément dingue quand elle abaisse le siège passager de la voiture de sa mère pour qu'il monte à l'arrière. David Bowie dans l'Oldsmobile de sa maman, elle rêve !C'est d'autant plus incroyable que ce à quoi Chrissie va assister ce soir-là est un show comme on n'en a jamais vu et qui va influencer des générations de musiciens. Quinze jours plus tard, Chrissie le rejoint sur un autre concert, à Detroit, même extase, et quand la salle se vide, Chrissie reste comme à son habitude pour prolonger la vibration et s'approche de la scène où s'activent les roadies.Allez Chris, faut y aller, dit Sue. Et là, dans le parterre, au milieu du personnel, un grand blond shote dans des gobelets, désabusé. C'est Iggy Pop ! Chrissie est pétrifiée quand il plante ses yeux verts dans les siens. A-t-il deviné qu'elle est sa plus grande fan ? En tout cas, Chrissie ne sortira pas un mot dans la voiture au cours des 100 miles du chemin de retour.

fWotD Episode 3192: Life on Mars? Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 30 January 2026, is Life on Mars?."Life on Mars?" is a song by the English musician David Bowie, first released on his 1971 album Hunky Dory. Conceived as a parody of Frank Sinatra's "My Way", "Life on Mars?" was recorded on 6 August 1971 at Trident Studios in London, and was co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott. The track features piano by the keyboardist Rick Wakeman and a string arrangement by the guitarist Mick Ronson. "Life on Mars?" is primarily a glam rock ballad, with elements of cabaret and art rock. The lyrics are about a girl who goes to a cinema to escape reality, and include surreal images that reflect optimism and the effects of Hollywood.In June 1973, at the height of Bowie's fame as Ziggy Stardust, RCA Records issued "Life on Mars?" as a single in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number three. To promote the single, Mick Rock filmed a video that shows Bowie in make-up and a turquoise suit singing the song against a white backdrop. Bowie frequently performed "Life on Mars?" during his concerts, and the track has appeared on numerous compilation albums.Commentators generally consider "Life on Mars?" to be one of Bowie's finest songs and one of the greatest songs of all time. Critics have praised Bowie's vocal performance and the string arrangement. The song has appeared in films and television programmes, and the British television series Life on Mars was named after it. Artists including Barbra Streisand, and Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, have recorded cover versions of the song; and following Bowie's death in 2016, "Life on Mars?" was frequently chosen as a tribute to the artist in live performances and cover versions. That year, a "stripped down" version of the song, remixed by Scott, was released, along with a reedited version of the promotional video including an extended outro.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:10 UTC on Friday, 30 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Life on Mars? on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kimberly.

The Space Show Presents Dr. Antonino Del Popolo, Friday, 1-23-25Quick summaryThe Space Show hosted Dr. Antonin o del Popolo, an Italian astrophysicist, to discuss his book “We Are Not Alone: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life.” Dr. del Popolo explained the various theories on the origin of life, including panspermia and abiogenesis, and discussed the challenges in detecting extraterrestrial life, such as the distance between stars and the lack of confirmed signals from other civilizations. He highlighted the potential for microbial life on exoplanets and the importance of future telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope in confirming its existence. The discussion also touched on the Fermi Paradox and the possibility of advanced civilizations, though Dr. del Popolo expressed skepticism about the likelihood of contact with such civilizations anytime soon.Detailed SummaryDavid and Antonino discussed the possibility of extraterrestrial life, with Antonio explaining that while there have been claims of life on other planets, such as the detection of dimethyl sulfide on an extrasolar planet, these claims have been discredited. He suggested that future telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope might provide clearer evidence of life in the next 10 years. David mentioned his listeners' interest in UAP phenomena and the possibility of alien visitation, but Antonino dismissed these ideas as not supported by the scientific community.We formally started with introductions and small talk about volcanoes, with participants discussing locations like Sicily, California, and Idaho. David introduced the main guest, Antonino del Popolo, a physicist from Sicily with a new book on extraterrestrial life. Antonio explained that he would summarize the book's contents rather than use slides to save time for discussion. The host announced upcoming guests and programs, including Dr. Kothari, Dr. Ethan Siegel, and Greg Autry. The conversation ended with David introducing Antonio to discuss his book, “We Are Not Alone.”Antonino discussed his book on the origins of life, exploring two main theories: panspermia, where life originated elsewhere in the universe and was brought to Earth by comets, and abiogenesis, which posits that life arose from non-living matter on Earth. He also covered the iron-sulfur world hypothesis and the lipids world theory, highlighting the challenges in replicating cellular life in laboratories. Antonio concluded by discussing the potential for life in our solar system, particularly on moons like Europa and Enceladus, as well as on exoplanets, noting the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1991 and the ongoing search for habitable conditions beyond Earth.Antonino discussed the potential for microbial life on exoplanets, noting that while many planets in the habitable zones of their stars might support liquid water, confirming the presence of life is challenging due to the distance and limitations of current technology. David inquired about the difficulty in detecting life, to which Antonino explained that while spectroscopy can identify biosignatures like water and oxygen, only one exoplanet, K218b, has shown such signs, and it will take time to confirm life on more planets. Antonino also highlighted the challenges in detecting advanced civilizations, citing the “Great Silence” and the Fermi Paradox, which suggest that either civilizations are extremely rare or there are significant barriers to communication across vast interstellar distances.Antonino discussed the possibility of extraterrestrial life and civilization, mentioning Fermi's paradox and various theories such as the Great Filter and Kardashev's scale. He explained that recent studies, including work by Frank and Sullivan in 2016, suggest that technological civilizations have likely existed in the universe, based on statistical calculations of astrophysical and biological factors in the Drake Equation. John Jossy asked about the certainty of these studies, and Antonino clarified that while the calculations are statistically sound, the unknowns in biology could potentially invalidate the results.Antonino discussed the probability of life evolving on planets similar to Earth, noting that calculations for our galaxy suggest a high likelihood of inhabited planets, especially those orbiting red dwarfs. He explained that while exact probabilities are difficult to determine, estimates indicate around 6 billion such planets in our galaxy and potentially 10^22 in the universe. Antonino also addressed the perspective of believers, suggesting that the existence of life beyond Earth aligns with religious beliefs, while non-believers might find it harder to accept.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed the probability of life and civilizations in the universe, with Antonino presenting estimates of 6 billion Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars, though Joe noted that only super-Earths have been discovered so far. They explored the concept of biosignatures, including carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, as indicators of life, with Antonino mentioning the discovery of dimethyl sulfur on the exoplanet K218b. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the possibility of past life on Mars, based on Viking lander experiments and recent findings of organic matter and water on the planet.Antonino talked about the presence of methane in the universe, explaining that while methane can be found on Jupiter and Saturn, its presence alone is not sufficient to prove the existence of life. He emphasized the need for precise biosignatures to confirm life and noted that microbial life could still exist despite the Fermi Paradox, which questions why we haven't detected any extraterrestrial civilizations. Dr. Ajay inquired about the historical context of the Fermi Paradox and the Drake Equation, and Antonino clarified that the paradox preceded the equation, though the exact timeline was not fully discussed.The team discussed the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations and the Kardashev scale, which measures a civilization's ability to harness energy. Antonino explained that while the Fermi Paradox suggests no advanced civilizations in our galaxy, microbial life could still exist. Marshall proposed a theory about civilizations moving to galactic arms with more stars, and Antonino mentioned the concept of Dyson spheres as a way for advanced civilizations to harness energy from stars. Dr. Sherry Bell asked about the next steps if biosignatures were found, and Antonino explained that the James Webb Space Telescope would be used, with a more powerful telescope called Ariel planned for the future. He also noted that it would take a long time to confirm the existence of life on a distant planet, even with current technology.Antonino mentioned the time it takes to observe potential biosignatures with James Webb, explaining it could take several months to a year, and highlighted that the existence of life on K218b remains uncertain despite observations starting in 2023. He explored theoretical possibilities of faster-than-light travel using general relativity, though he considered such advancements unlikely within 50 years. The discussion also covered alternative chemistries for life, with Antonino noting that while silicon-based life is possible, carbon remains the most probable basis for life as it forms stable and complex structures. He concluded that microbial life likely exists in the universe, with intelligent life potentially following as evolution progresses, though he expressed skepticism about the likelihood of detecting extraterrestrial civilizations.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

In this fifth episode of Building MarsBased, Àlex Rodriguez Bacardit reflects on nearly 12 years of operating as a remote-first company since 2014. Inspired by the 37signals philosophy, MarsBased was designed as a "hard remote" entity to optimize for productivity over mere presence, a model that forced the founders to defend their professional authority without a physical office during the early years.To maintain human connection in a distributed team, the company established rituals like Martian Days, quarterly in-person meetings, and Martian Tapas, where team members showcase new skills or tools. A key principle in avoiding "second-class citizens" is ensuring that no major company decisions are made during informal hangouts in Barcelona, keeping the playing field level for everyone regardless of their location.The MarsBased hiring strategy specifically filters for seniors, former entrepreneurs, or freelancers who are exceptional written communicators, as remote environments can feel isolating or "hostile" for those who lack experience in self-management. This professional maturity is supported by a streamlined tech stack, evolving from Basecamp to Linear, and a culture of 100% trust from day one, rather than a system of surveillance.While remoteness brings challenges like the "loneliness slump" around month 12, the company remains 95% faithful to its original 2014 vision. By treating employees like adults and prioritizing quality over quantity, MarsBased continues to thrive as an independent, bootstrapped lifestyle business.Support the show

In this episode, we journey through the latest cosmic developments that are capturing our imaginations and shaping our understanding of the universe. We kick off with a concerning update about Spain's Spainsat NG2 satellite, which encountered a space particle during its ascent to orbit, highlighting the unpredictable nature of space travel. Fortunately, contingency plans are in place to ensure uninterrupted communications for the Spanish Ministry of Defence.Next, we delve into a busy launch schedule, featuring SpaceX's Falcon 9 missions that will deploy new Starlink satellites and a variety of rideshare missions, including NASA's Pandora project aimed at observing exoplanet transits. The excitement continues with ISRO's upcoming launch of an Earth observation satellite, showcasing the rapid advancements in global space initiatives.We then explore groundbreaking laboratory research supporting the RNA World hypothesis, which suggests that RNA could have been the first self-replicating molecule on Earth. This study, which mimics early Earth conditions, provides compelling evidence that life may have emerged more quickly than previously thought, with implications for the search for life on Mars.As we look towards the Moon, 2026 promises to be a pivotal year for private lunar exploration, with several companies planning missions to scout resources and test technologies essential for a sustainable human presence.We also discuss an ambitious proposal to develop a kilometric baseline interferometer to hunt for habitable moons around distant exoplanets, potentially revolutionising our search for life beyond Earth.Finally, we highlight China's Chang'e 7 mission, which is set to investigate the Moon's South Pole and its ancient ice deposits, crucial for future lunar habitation efforts.Join us as we unpack these fascinating stories and more in this episode of Astronomy Daily!00:00 – **Welcome to Astronomy Daily podcast, hosted by Anna and Avery00:38 – **Spainsat NG2 hit by space particle while heading to final orbit01:51 – **SpaceX and ISRO have several missions scheduled for next week03:08 – **RNA World hypothesis says RNA was first self replicating life precursor04:30 – **2026 could be a pivotal year for private lunar exploration07:13 – **This week's Astronomy Daily includes: Satellite hits, launch previews### Sources & Further Reading1.

In the volatile world of Silicon Valley, where the average CEO tenure is often less than five years and startups burn out as quickly as they rise, Ray Zinn stands as a monumental exception. For 37 years, Zinn served as the CEO of Micrel, the semiconductor company he founded in 1978, holding the record as the longest-serving CEO of a publicly traded company in the Valley. His tenure wasn't just about longevity; it was a masterclass in disciplined consistency. Under his leadership, Micrel achieved a staggering record of being profitable for 36 out of those 37 years, a feat almost unheard of in the tech industry.This video dives deep into the story of the man they call the "Iron Man" of the semiconductor industry. We explore how Zinn famously rejected the standard Venture Capital model, choosing instead to bootstrap Micrel using his own savings and bank loans to maintain total control over the company's culture and destiny. You will learn about his unique management philosophy, "Tough Things First," which prioritized discipline and employee well-being over short-term stock manipulation.Beyond the business metrics, we also uncover the incredible personal resilience of Ray Zinn. Later in his career, he went legally blind, yet continued to run the company effectively, relying on his vivid memory and the deep trust he had built with his team. From the early days of 1978 to the final acquisition by Microchip Technology in 2015, this is the definitive story of an outlier who proved that slow, steady, and disciplined leadership can outlast the hype of Silicon Valley.Support the show

There is a recurring piece of advice in the startup world that says you should never mix friendship with business. However, after 12 years of profitability and organic growth at MarsBased, reality has taught us that working with friends is not only possible but can be a competitive advantage if expectations are managed from day zero.In this episode of Building MarsBased, I open up the black box of our founding story to explain how Xavi, Jordi, and I went from being classmates to co-founders, and why we made the difficult decision to leave a fourth friend out just before signing the company incorporation. I take a deep dive into our atypical organizational structure where we decided not to have a single CEO, but rather divide leadership into three areas of absolute responsibility (Tech, Operations, and Marketing) while democratizing cross-functional decisions.Throughout the video, I detail how we resolve conflicts using asynchronous communication via Linear to remove ego from discussions, how we define our salaries based on the company's financial health (bootstrapping) rather than investment rounds, and what our philosophy is regarding equal equity splits. If you are considering starting something with your close circle, here you will find our real-world experience on how to align priorities, manage friction, and prevent silent resentment from killing both the company and the friendship.Support the show
Caroline Smith is passionate about space rocks, whether they're samples collected from the surface of asteroids and the Moon and hopefully Mars one day soon, or meteorites, those alien rock fragments that have survived their fiery descents through our atmosphere to land here on Earth.She is Head of Collections and Principal Curator of Meteorites at the Natural History Museum, home to one of the finest meteorite collections in the world. Her interest in rocks began while wandering the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, as a child, picking up the ones that caught her eye and bashing them with a hammer, hoping to find treasure inside, whether it's gold, diamonds or dinosaur fossils.Her work today, studying rocks that have landed here on Earth or those still out there in space, is no less ambitious. She analyses their chemical composition looking for tantalising clues that might reveal how our Solar System formed, and potentially the presence of the chemical building blocks necessary for life itself.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Beth Eastwood Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem BBC Studios Production

Paul Jarley: It's Space Week at UCF and I'm like a kid in a candy store. So many questions. For one, everyone's talking about going to Mars, but why? What problem are we solving? What does Mars offer that other planets or the moons don't? And if the answer is survival or curiosity, does that really require an economy, people trading air, power and data in some kind of cosmic barter system? Or is Mars just a science project? Let's be real. Most moms or dads did their kids science projects. Nobody ever monetized anything from any of them. This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, Is This Really a Thing? On to our show. In the past few years, the College has been undergoing a transformation. We've been asked to build a Business School that's a key asset to Florida's leading engineering and technology university. That's meant bringing in people who are a little different from our typical pragmatic, data-driven faculty. The ones who teach students to manage people and PNLs. A few of these new faces can fairly be called dreamers. One of them is Zaheer Ali. He, along with Greg Autry is leading our space commercialization efforts, including our space MBA. It's not a nickname, it's a space MBA. As we were setting up for Space Week, Z claimed that a Martian economy would really be a thing. Well, he said something like that. I gave him a skeptical look, he countered with a panel of experts. Listen in. Zaheer Ali: Well, thank you Dean Jarley. I like to say that, you know, in our business, we turn sci-fi into sci-reality. And one of the people who helps make sci-fi and is now helping make science reality is Danica Vallone of the Making Space Agency. Her path to space is very interesting coming from Hollywood of things like costumes and sets of such high fidelity and accuracy that the space industry said we need some of that. In my time at NASA, one of the things we did was we always built very high fidelity simulators and simulation systems to prepare people and equipment for the challenges of the space environment. So welcome Danica. Danica Vallone: Thank you very much. Zaheer Ali: We also have Dr. Pascal Lee of the Mars Institute, of the SETI Institute, one of the leading planetary scientists in the US and indeed the world Co-Chair of the National Space Society Space Settlement Summit and International Space Development Conference. Welcome, sir. Paul Jarley: So I'm going to start this conversation by asking the same question I ask anybody who pitches me an idea, what problem does this solve? If you're going to Mars and establishing an economy, what problem does that solve? Danica Vallone: Mars expert over here should probably have first crack. Pascal Lee: This is an interesting way to frame the question. I'm not interested in space exploration to solve a problem. I'm interested in drawn to space exploration and Mars exploration in particular because as a scientist, I'm interested in this quest for life. We often say we're looking for life on Mars. What we fail to specify is that we're looking for the first example of an alien form of life. And we're not talking about little green men or some intelligent form of life. We know that Mars hasn't had that in its history, but we're looking for another example of life. A different biology from ours. All life on earth is connected and going to Mars would solve possibly that problem, which is how alone are we? Is there some other form of life even within our own solar system? That would solve the problem in the sense of giving us a fuller perspective of what we mean here on Earth. What are we as a phenomenon in the universe? Are we something really exceptional? Are we common? So that's the scientific quest that I think would be solved by g...

NASA Research Suggests Mars Ice Contains Best Chance for Finding Ancient Life. John Batchelor and Bob Zimmerman discuss NASA's search for signs of past organic life on Mars. A research team at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center conducted a simulated test to see how long microbiological remnants could survive Martian radiation conditions. The test exposed E. coli samples in simulated Martian sediment and pure water ice to radiation equivalent to a 50-million-year span. Results showed the samples rapidly decayed in the sediment. However, the E. coli samples survived the entire time span when encased in the ice. This research strongly suggests that searching for ancient microbiology should not occur in the dry tropics where current rovers operate. Instead, NASA must search above 30 degrees latitude where substantial near-surface ice exists. Finding living life is highly unlikely, but discovering fossilized corpses of past life in the ice is the most probable outcome.

Journal of Astrobiology, 16, 2025JournalOfAstrobiology.com 52 Square-Shaped Structure MarsMars: Geological Formation or Archaeology? Square-shaped Structure Withinan Arabia Terra Crater?George J. Haas1 , William R. Saunders2 , and Robert M. Schoch31The Cydonia Institute, PO Box 102, Purcellville, VA, USA; thecydoniainstitute@hotmail.com2412 – 3311 Wilson St. Penticton, B.C., Canada; bsaunders169@gmail.com3Boston University, College of General Studies, Boston, MA, USA; schoch@bu.eduABSTRACT An examination of a square-shaped structure within a crater in the Arabia Terra region of Mars isundertaken. Supportive images are provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars GlobalSurveyor and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecrafts. The images reveal the remains of a set of possible linear walls with 90-degree angles (as best as can be determined) at their corners that exhibit a high level of symmetry. The hypothesis of artificial design is presented based on an examination of possible artificial and natural mechanisms that could contribute to the structure of the features observed.Terrestrial comparisons of geological structures and geometrical designs are investigated. Further study and additional imaging of the structural components of this enigmatic feature are encouraged.Keywords: Mars; Arabia Terra; square; walls; foundation; mounds; Mars Global Surveyor; MarsReconnaissance Orbiter; Masada; White City; life on Mars; Anomalous Formations on Mars1. IntroductionA Mars Global Surveyor image depicting a square-shaped structure (also referred to in the popularpress as a “square-shaped formation”) was brought to the attention of the first two authors in 2001 by independent researcher Richard C. Hoagland via his Enterprise Mission website (https://www.enterprisemission.org/). This square structure has generated a high level of interest and has been featured in numerous online news programs; however no serious scientific assessment has been offered until now.2. The Square-shaped Structure (Mars Global Surveyor)In November 2001 NASA released an image acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS)camera E10/00462. The image was taken in the winter, during the early morning hours with a resolutionof 6.3 meters per pixel (Mars Viewer, MGS, 2001). The original orientation of the image was inverted,with south toward the top; it shows exposed material within a crater that includes a feature that appears tobe square-shaped structure (Figure 1). The square-shape is offset with opposite corners aligned in a northsouth direction. The northern corner of the formation consists of an L-shaped wall-like structure that ispartially buried by debris. The western and southern corners are visible, while the eastern corner appearsto be covered by fine-grained deposits in this image; the western corner also appears to be covered tosome extent with fine-grained deposits (note that “fine-grained” is a relative term in this context, giventhe resolution of 6.3 meters per pixel). A detail of the area is provided in figure 2, showing the outline ofthe square-shaped walls and linear impression.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
