NASA is planning to decommission the International Space Station by the end of 2030. The ISS, which began operations in 2000, is reaching the end of its lifespan and has become costly to maintain. NASA selected SpaceX to construct a vehicle that would “de-orbit” the football field-sized station, pushing it down into the atmosphere where it'll burn up safely over the Pacific ocean.So what comes next? So far, NASA has awarded contracts to private companies including Axiom Space, Blue Origin, Northrup Grumman, and Starlab to support the research and development for commercial space stations which would help facilitate future research in orbit, among their own space tourism offerings. Next year, NASA will certify one or more of these companies to build at least one space station, where it'll then become one of many customers to purchase services from the new facilities.Loren Grush, space reporter at Bloomberg News, joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss who's in the running and how future space stations could differ from the one we know today. She also talks about her recent trip to the headquarters of Vast, one of the companies competing for this contract, to learn more about its cryptocurrency origins and its high-level recruitments from NASA and Apple.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The International Space Station’s time in the stars will soon come to an end. NASA has said that the ISS is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2030 and replaced with a new station made by a private company. Now, the race is on to win the contract. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg’s Kiel Porter and Loren Grush tell host Sarah Holder why a former crypto tycoon has made a billion-dollar bet that his startup, Vast, will build the next international space station — and what this space race tells us about the future of the commercial space industry.

The simmering feud between Elon Musk and Sam Altman is boiling again. In the latest round, OpenAI, which is being sued by Musk, uncorked a long post last week that included emails purporting to show that Musk didn’t really care about the safety of artificial intelligence (as he has long said he does). According to OpenAI, Musk just wanted to control the company. Also on the docket for Elon, Inc. this week: a conversation with Bloomberg reporter Loren Grush, along with regulars Dana Hull and Max Chafkin, about what Donald Trump’s designated head of NASA, billionaire Jared Isaacman, means for Musk. (Probably only good things.) Another story that is discussed is Hull’s deep dive into Musk’s funding of a preschool project. It’s part of a larger push from Musk to implement his own far-right agenda into education, and the money runs through at least two of his non-profit entities. There is a familiar cast of characters involved (like longtime money manager Jared Birchall) and some vague goals. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the wake of his disappointing “robotaxi” launch and Wall Street's punishing response, Elon Musk had at least one reason to celebrate this past week: the successful deployment of a complicated rocket retrieval system. But that doesn't mean we are done picking through the Robotaxi unveiling and how the Optimus robots weren't really “robots.” To unpack these events, we have reporters Loren Grush and Dana Hull as well as Bloomberg Television correspondent Ed Ludlow. Then we feature reporter Kurt Wagner interviewing Kate Conger and Ryan Mac, co-authors of the recently published book, Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter.

In June, two NASA astronauts flew to the International Space Station on a Boeing spacecraft for a week-long test mission. But problems with the machinery mean they'll be stuck there for 8 months… and when they come back in February, they won't be flying Boeing. Instead, they're hitching a ride with the company's biggest rival in commercial space travel: Elon Musk's SpaceX. Today on the show: space reporter Loren Grush and Boeing reporter Julie Johnsson on the challenges facing Boeing's space program, the rise of SpaceX, and the future of NASA's ambitions beyond our planet.

Tesla is often heralded as Elon Musk's premiere company, the business at the foundation of all his other businesses. But as Tesla has struggled and lost market share, it's SpaceX that keeps surging ahead of the competition. SpaceX is trying to add the first commercial spacewalk to its list of accomplishments, and is set to bail out embattled rival Boeing by retrieving astronauts stranded by its faulty Starliner. This week reporters Loren Grush and Bruce Einhorn sift through the developments and debate if there's any competition left for SpaceX in this field. Host David Papadopoulos is also joined by reporter Kurt Wagner and editor Sarah Frier to discuss the latest development over at X. Why is Donald Trump all of a sudden posting again on his richest fan's troubled platform? Will the arrest of Telegram Chief Executive Officer Pavel Durov have any consequences for Musk and X? And why did Diddy invest in Musk's takeover of X? As always with Musk, there's a lot to talk about.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Were we talking about almost any other executive, the report by the Wall Street Journal over the weekend about Elon Musk's alleged drug use would have qualified as a bombshell. The article contends the chief executive of SpaceX and Tesla has used a collection of substances. This, according to the Journal's unidentified sources, has caused consternation within Musk's companies, with Tesla board members and SpaceX executives privately expressing concerns that the alleged drug use may be making Musk unreliable and erratic. But it's not clear that many people, either inside or outside Musk's companies, are genuinely worried. Musk mostly laughed off the report, offering a jokey response suggesting that any drugs he was taking should be seen as performance enhancers and noting that he'd passed government-mandated drug tests “after that one puff on Rogan”—a reference to a 2018 interview with Joe Rogan during which he smoked marijuana. Investors have been largely unmoved by all of this, partly because during the period that Musk is alleged to have indulged in illicit substances, he also made them a great deal of money. And Musk has mostly gone back to his regular schedule of boosting conspiracy theories proffered by election deniers, white nationalists and other assorted right wing influencers. On this episode, we are joined by Loren Grush, a Bloomberg aerospace reporter and author of the NASA history, The Six, to discuss why these drug allegations haven't hurt Musk and why a labor dispute involving SpaceX employees might be a bigger threat in the long run.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you were asked to name the early astronauts, you probably wouldn't have much trouble; Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, John Glenn come to mind easily enough. But what if you had to name women astronauts, besides Sally Ride? It's a question that even space nerds might have trouble answering.A new book from space reporter Loren Grush centers those women's stories. The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts goes deep into the histories, triumphs, and tragedies of Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Rhea Saddon, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid, and Anna Fisher. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration excluded women from its astronauts in the 1960s and ‘70s. The agency changed course in 1978, when it selected these six women from a candidate pool of 8,000.Ira sits down with Loren Grush, space reporter for Bloomberg News, to talk about why NASA delayed their inclusion, the agency politics the women had to navigate, the pressure they faced from the media, and how they made their mark on the space program.To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

EPISODE 1765: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Koren Grush, author of THE SIX, about the story of the America's first women astronautsLoren Grush is a reporter for Bloomberg News specializing in all things space. Previously, she was a senior science reporter for the technology news website The Verge and hosted the online show Space Craft, which took her across the country to explore what it takes to train for space. The daughter of two NASA engineers, Grush grew up surrounded by astronauts and Space Shuttles. She has also been published in The New York Times, Popular Science, and Nautilus magazine, and has appeared on several TV networks as an expert commentator. You can find her at LorenGrush.com.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.
In 1978, NASA recruited six candidates out of thousands of applicants for a special, groundbreaking mission: to become the first American women in space. Over the next few years, the six women would endure sexism, grueling training, and unending scrutiny from the media. In her new book, "The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts," author Loren Grush explores the stories of these female pioneers, along with the longer history of women's fight for inclusion in the male-dominated world of NASA.On this episode, we talk with Grush about how America's first female astronauts came to be, their journeys and challenges, and what kept them committed to their mission. Later, we hear from another space pioneer — a Navajo NASA engineer who says his childhood in Arizona prepared him for his work studying Mars.
It is a riveting history: How America chose the first six women to go into space and how the first female astronauts overcame adversity and sexism. We talk about all of it in our conversation with space journalist Loren Grush. Her new book, “The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts” reads like a movie screenplay, and provides some fascinating historical perspective into the first six American women in space. As of 1973, the US had sent three females into space: Two spiders and a monkey. We discuss how NASA went about realizing it was time to bring women into space and what challenges the women faced when they got there. Tune in for the history and the ridiculous story involving NASA engineers and tampons. —- Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

In the late 1970s, NASA admitted women onto their space programme for the first time. Six women were chosen as the first cohort, and would endure unprecedented media attention alongside the agency's rigorous training. Speaking to Elinor Evans, Loren Grush shares more about these pioneering women who forged a new chapter for America's space programme.

Trailblazers Beyond Earth: The Journey of America's First Female Astronauts The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science Interview Series Hello and welcome back to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview series on radio and podcast, the show that brings you the most compelling stories and insights on health, wellness, and the incredible potential of aging. We're broadcasting from just outside of Washington, DC, I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today we have a truly special episode lined up for you. Before we dive in, let's take a moment to acknowledge our sponsors today, Liquid I.V. and Nationwide Coins. Also, let's recognize the pioneers who have broken barriers in their respective fields, especially those who have done so later in life. It's never too late to make history, and today's guest is here to tell us about a group of women who did just that." We are honored to have Loren Grush, the author of the groundbreaking book, available at Apple Books, 'The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts.' Loren Grush's new book delves into the untold stories of America's first female astronauts, a topic that has been long overshadowed by their male counterparts. In 1973, NASA's report mentioned that the only females they had sent to space were two spiders and a monkey. Fast forward to today, and we see a more inclusive space program, but the journey has been anything but smooth. From Valentina Tereshkova, the Soviet parachutist who orbited Earth 48 times, to Jerrie Cobb, who passed NASA's grueling tests but was sidelined due to societal norms, Loren Grush's new book captures the highs and lows of this journey. It's a vivid account that our audience, particularly those over 60, will find both inspiring and enlightening." Available at Apple Books, 'The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts.' also touches on the fascinating details of zero-gravity life, from the challenges of adapting space toilets for women to the negotiations around 'appropriate' spacewear. It's a blend of serious history and entertaining trivia that promises to keep our listeners hooked, including a reading by Loren Grush, as she describes an awkward encounter with a TIME Magazine reporter asking questions of Sally Ride about the possibility of Sally weeping during difficulties she might encounter as an astronaut. That, of course, is our guest today, Science writer Loren Grush, reading from her new book, The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts.' So, dear listeners, buckle up as we embark on this cosmic journey with Loren Grush to explore the untold stories of America's first women astronauts. It's a conversation you won't want to miss.

It's been 40 years since Sally Ride became the first American woman in space — but she was far from the last. In the early 1980s six women — Sally Ride, Judy Resnick, Kathy Sullivan, Anna Fisher, Rhea Seddon, and Shannon Lucid — would get a chance to fly a mission on one of the space shuttles… including, unfortunately, the ill-fated 1986 Challenger launch. The story of the six may be history, but it's far from ancient, and there's a lot going on here that ties directly to today. And of course, what's an astronaut story without some high-flying hijinks in it? Listen to the end for Loren's favorite.
