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

"Si lo que realmente te apasiona es picar código y nerdear, no te hagas CTO". Con esta honestidad brutal nos recibe Sergio Gago, CTO de Cloudera y autor de "The CTO Toolbox", en un episodio diseñado para romper los idealismos de la carrera tecnológica. Sergio defiende que un líder debe tener "manos de constructor" , pero nos enfrenta a la gran paradoja del rol: para triunfar, debes soltar la reconfortante certeza del código y abrazar el caos de la gestión humana y la incertidumbre del negocio.Desde sus inicios como lo que él llama un "CTO Mickey Mouse" en una startup de 3 personas hasta gestionar estrategias globales de Big Data e IA, Sergio disecciona las fases de madurez por las que pasarás, de gestionar tu casa a gobernar un país entero, y revela la verdad más incómoda de la transición: llega un día en que tu equipo deja de ser los ingenieros con los que te ibas de fiesta y pasa a ser la C-Suite, un grupo de ejecutivos que hablan un idioma financiero que probablemente necesites aprender a la fuerza (o con un MBA) para sobrevivir en la mesa de decisiones. Un viaje imprescindible sobre cómo superar el síndrome del impostor, evitar ser el cuello de botella de tu empresa y entender por qué, a veces, el éxito significa dejar de hacer lo que más te gustaba.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

When is the right time to start your company?In this second episode of Building MarsBased, we answer a listener's question that every aspiring founder wrestles with: Should I launch while keeping my day job, or go all in?We unpack the real factors behind that decision: macro timing, industry waves, personal runway, team alignment, and share how we made the call that led to MarsBased.You'll hear why the 2012–2014 window mattered in Spain's post-crisis context, what the “mobile app boom” taught us about riding vs ignoring a hot trend, why nights and weekends rarely scale, and the exact moment (December 2013) we took the leap. We also discuss the investor point of view on “founder commitment” and a practical way to spot opportunities from inside your current company.In this episode, you'll learn how macro conditions shape founder timing, what makes the difference between a viable and an advantaged moment to start, what the realities of bootstrapping look like compared to fundraising, why part-time efforts usually stall and what to do instead, and how to use your current job to validate a real problem worth solving.Support the show

US-EU Space Regulatory Clash: The United States has formally opposed the European Union's proposed EU Space Act, arguing that its regulations could impose unfair burdens on American space companies. The act aims to establish a unified regulatory framework for Europe's space industry, focusing on safety, resilience, and sustainability. The US claims that certain provisions unfairly target large telecommunications satellite constellations, particularly SpaceX's Starlink, and calls for recognition of its existing licensing framework to avoid duplication.Revisiting a Mars Mistake: A significant scientific error from the 1970s is being re-evaluated as new findings reveal that NASA's Viking Lander mission mistakenly concluded Mars was lifeless. Originally, the absence of detected organic compounds led to this verdict, but it has now been established that organic compounds were indeed present. This has sparked calls for a new mission dedicated to the search for life on Mars, correcting decades of misconceptions.Launch Schedule Update: This week's launch schedule includes high-profile missions such as Blue Origin's new Glenn rocket, which is set to launch the Mars-bound Escapade payload on November 12. However, an ongoing US government shutdown has led to an emergency launch ban during peak hours, affecting several missions and pushing some to later dates.Tiangong Space Station's Dual Crew: China's Tiangong Space Station is currently hosting an unprecedented dual crew operation after the return of the Shenzhou 20 astronauts was delayed due to a suspected space debris impact. The Shenzhou 20 crew has been joined by the new Shenzhou 21 crew, creating a temporary six-member occupancy onboard as both crews conduct joint scientific experiments.New Insights into the Big Bang: A recent study suggests that the universe's earliest moments were more dynamic than previously understood. Researchers propose that during a brief period, dense clouds of particles dominated over radiation, leading to the formation of primordial black holes. This discovery may provide new insights into the dark history of the universe and its structure.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

From the publisher:“There Is Life on the Planet Mars” ―New York Times, December 9, 1906This New York Times headline was no joke. In the early 1900s, many Americans actually believed we had discovered intelligent life on Mars, as best-selling science writer David Baron chronicles in The Martians, his truly bizarre tale of a nation swept up in Mars mania.At the center of Baron's historical drama is Percival Lowell, the Boston Brahmin and Harvard scion, who observed “canals” etched into the surface of Mars. Lowell devised a grand theory that the red planet was home to a utopian society that had built gargantuan ditches to funnel precious meltwater from the polar icecaps to desert farms and oasis cities. The public fell in love with the ambitious amateur astronomer who shared his findings in speeches and wildly popular books.While at first people treated the Martians whimsically—Martians headlining Broadway shows, biologists speculating whether they were winged or gilled—the discussion quickly became serious. Inventor Nikola Tesla announced he had received radio signals from Mars; Alexander Graham Bell agreed there was “no escape from the conviction” that intelligent beings inhabited the planet. Martian excitement reached its zenith when Lowell financed an expedition to photograph Mars from Chile's Atacama Desert, resulting in what newspapers hailed as proof of the Martian canals' existence.Triumph quickly yielded to tragedy. Those wild claims and highly speculative photographs emboldened Lowell's critics, whose withering attacks gathered steam and eventually wrecked the man and his theory—but not the fervor he had started. Although Lowell would die discredited and delusional in 1916, the Mars frenzy spurred a nascent literary genre called science fiction, and the world's sense of its place in the universe would never be the same.Today, the red planet maintains its grip on the public's imagination. Many see Mars as civilization's destiny—the first step toward our becoming an interplanetary species—but, as David Baron demonstrates, this tendency to project our hopes onto the world next door is hardly new. The Martians is a scintillating and necessary reminder that while we look to Mars for answers, what we often find are mirrors of ourselves.David Baron's website is https://davidbaronauthor.com/ Information on his book can be found at https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324090663He is on social media at https://x.com/dhbaron?lang=enAxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

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...

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into groundbreaking discoveries that could reshape our understanding of life on Mars and the cosmos beyond.Martian Ice: A Potential Reservoir for LifeA recent study suggests that Martian ice may be the most promising location to search for signs of ancient microbial life. Researchers found that biomolecules from dormant microbes degrade significantly slower in pure water ice compared to Martian soil mixtures. This discovery, published in the journal Astrobiology, raises hopes that future missions to Mars could uncover preserved organic materials in its icy regions, potentially revealing the planet's biological history.A Mysterious Dark Object in the UniverseAstronomers have identified the lowest mass dark object ever detected, with a mass about a million times that of our Sun. This enigmatic object, reported in Nature Astronomy, may offer insights into the nature of dark matter, which constitutes a significant portion of the universe's mass. The object was detected through gravitational lensing, and its small size challenges existing theories about dark matter's composition and distribution.NASA's Call for Lunar Mission BidsNASA is seeking new bids for its Artemis Moon program, aiming to foster competition among American companies to return humans to the lunar surface. With ongoing delays from SpaceX, NASA Administrator Sean Duffy emphasizes the urgency of the mission as the U.S. races against China to achieve lunar exploration milestones. The upcoming Artemis missions promise to be pivotal in establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon.November Skywatch with Jonathan Nallywww.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrobiology Journalhttps://www.liebertpub.com/journals/astrobiology/1Nature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Martian Ice: A Potential Reservoir for LifeA Mysterious Dark Object in the UniverseNASA's Call for Lunar Mission Bids

Episode 329 America's health data system is in crisis. The US government has been bleeding public health experts – many of whom run crucial public health surveys and databases which help identify, monitor and respond to health threats across the country. From drug use to food security and birth data, discover the 5 surveys most critically hit by the axing of over 20,000 jobs. If nothing is done to address this, vital health information will be missed and the results could be catastrophic. Do you find it difficult to concentrate after a bad night's sleep? This might be really common, but scientists are still trying to figure out why it happens. A new finding suggests it might have something to do with the brain's “rinse cycle” – a process where your brain washes away metabolic waste and toxic proteins. Although this usually happens while you sleep, researchers have discovered it may continue in the day if you're sleep deprived. Life might exist on Mars right now, thanks to a network of liquid water on the Red Planet. Researchers examining Mars' soil say there's a good chance tiny veins of liquid water are hiding under the Martian permafrost and that they could support microbial life. This finding has scientists excited, with one suggesting “it's not impossible that life could exist in the Martian near surface.” Chapters: (00:00) Intro (01:00) The collapse of America's health data system (08:00) How sleep affects your focus (16:40) Best place to search for life on Mars Hosted by Penny Sarchet and Timothy Revell, with guests Grace Wade, Carissa Wong and Leah Crane.

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.

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.

The Book of Revelation can be deciphered in endless ways, but no matter how you look at it, it exhibits a massive exchange of power at a time where light and darkness collide and ending times arrive. The Book of Revelation also resembles what has already occurred on planet Mars long before ending times happen here on Earth. If you examine the scripture on a deeper level, you can see the similarities and relations between both planets, Mars and Earth. In this episode, listen to how Mars thrives in its heyday; how life on Mars is so similar to life on Earth; how fish in the oceans and fruits trees such as apple trees abound, and how the war machines came and conquered, resulting in dangerous times. Get ready for a true awakening… In this episode… Learn how Mars had apple trees and other fruit trees similar to that of planet Earth. Discover how Mars was a thriving planet of natural wildlife with oceans, rivers and lakes. Uncover how Mars had ancient civilizations of people that once inhabited the planet. Learn about how Mars had an Ending Times similar to what has been prophesied here for planet Earth. Find out why planet Mars became a red planet. Discover history about the war machines used on planet Mars. Learn how the Book of Revelation could be much older than believed. See how the Book of Revelation relates to not just the future of planet Earth, but also the past on planet Mars. Learn how evil doesn't just exist here on planet Earth but also existed all the same on planet Mars. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has made one of its most intriguing discoveries yet in Jezero Crater. A rock sample called Sapphire Canyon, drilled from the Bright Angel formation, contains unusual chemical and mineral patterns that may be potential biosignatures. We begin with remarks from Morgan Cable, research scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and co–deputy principal investigator of the PIXL instrument on Perseverance, in a video released alongside NASA’s September 10, 2025 announcement. Then, host Sarah Al-Ahmed speaks with Joel Hurowitz, associate professor of geosciences at Stony Brook University and deputy principal investigator of the PIXL instrument on Perseverance, who is also the lead author of the new Nature paper detailing the findings. Hurowitz explains how textures nicknamed "poppy seeds" and "leopard spots" connect organic carbon with minerals like vivianite and greigite, and why these could represent some of the most compelling evidence yet for ancient microbial life on Mars. Finally, in this week’s What’s Up, Bruce Betts, The Planetary Society’s chief scientist, joins Sarah to explore earlier moments in the history of Mars exploration when tantalizing hints of life sparked scientific and public excitement.

Was there ever life on Mars? Planetary scientists think there could have been but there hasn't been any direct evidence. After years of roaming Mars, NASA's Perseverance rover saw spots on Mars rocks. These spots could be the most likely clue that Mars had organic life millions of years ago. Host Regina G. Barber speaks with recent PhD graduate and planetary scientist Hemani Kalucha. She explains why the size, shape and color of these spots – as well as the location of these rocks on Mars – point to ancient life.Interested in more science behind skincare products?
