Podcasts about lunar landing

Flying Saucers, Unidentified Flying Objects, Unidentified Anomalous Objects, Foo Fighters, Ghost Rockets, Phantom Airships, Chariots of the Gods–whatever you call them, strange things have haunted our skies since the dawn of time. Are they invaders from outer space as imagined in Hollywood movies? Are they the product of psychological, sociological, and cultural factors? Are they non-terrestrial intelligences who are intimately linked to humanity? Instead of wrestling with theories and speculation, Nigel Watson speaks directly with 'ordinary' people in the United Kingdom who have reported seeing UFOs and a wide range of startling associated phenomena, that in the past were considered by UFO investigators as too far-fetched or 'crazy'. His decades-long research shows how UFO encounters can often escalate from simple sightings of lights in the sky to sightings of alien entities, robots, men in black, and angelic beings. UFO witnesses and experiencers can also be plagued by a life-changing poltergeist or other ghostly experiences, telepathic messages, alien communications, strange coincidences, visions of the future, and abductions. Many of the stories might seem like science fiction or the very stuff of nightmares, yet they are told by people of different age groups, social backgrounds, and locations. Whatever the answer, if there is any one answer, this is a fascinating look at how UFO experiences have evolved in the UK and reflect similar worldwide changes in our relationship with the unknown.

Preview: Moon: Colleague Rand Simberg comments that China will likely win the contest to a manned lunar landing. More later. 1941

Apollo 13 was slated to be NASA's third manned spaceflight to land on the moon. Apollo 11 won us the space race and Apollo 12 proved it wasn't just a fluke that we put a man on the lunar surface. Apollo 13 was going to up the ante by putting men on a different part of the moon to explore. Now all of these missions took place within a period of 12 months so by Apollo 13 the public had lost interest. NASA had made it too easy to reach the moon according to the public. Well two days later the nation and world were glued to their TV's after an explosion in space crippled Apollo 13's command ship Odyssey leaving the astronauts short on oxygen and with power systems failing 200,000+ miles from Earth. Normally an explosion in space is a death sentence and it would've been for James Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise, but the geniuses of NASA mission and flight control had other plans. Through some of the craziest feats of sciences, mathematics, physics, and engineering the rescued these three men from the jaws of cold death. Find out how they did it on this week's episode. Support the show

NASA's official lunar landing requirement is to land within fifty meters, or one hundred sixty-four feet of a targeted site.

If you're lucky enough to have witnessed the landing of Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969, you know what a momentous occasion that was. If you're younger than a Boomer, you've read and heard about that amazing day, but it might not have the impact it did for those who witnessed it. Bob Slater, M.D., is out to change that with his campaign to make July 20 a national holiday called "Lunar Landing Day," and we think it's a fine idea--and so do the moonwalkers, Mission Control folks, and lots of others. It'll be good for STEM, good for national pride, and just good all around. Join us to learn more and about how you can help make this great idea a reality! Headlines Next Starship Launch Scheduled: SpaceX aims for its third Starship launch of the year, Flight 9, no earlier than May 27th, 7:30 PM Eastern. This follows previous failures, with hopes for a successful mission. SpaceX Flight 9 Gets FAA Approval, with Caveats: The FAA approved Starship Flight 9 after SpaceX's Flight 8 failure assessment. A changed trajectory was requested for safety. The goal is to recreate earlier trajectories for a soft landing in the Indian Ocean and will be the first full reflight of the Super Heavy booster. China's Experimental Fuel Dump: Chinese company Landscape launched a methane-fueled rocket that performed an experimental fuel dump at 155 miles, creating a visible ribbon of reflective crystals. Discussion arose on its necessity, accidental nature, or deliberate intent, and its resemblance to 1950s US/Russian plans to nuke the moon as a political statement. "Golden Dome" Missile Defense Initiative: The Trump administration announced a $175 billion "Golden Dome" missile defense shield, similar to Israel's Iron Dome, to intercept orbital threats. U.S. Space Force General Michael Gutzlian will oversee the three-year development. AI Processing Center in Abu Dhabi: OpenAI plans a new AI processing center in Abu Dhabi, requiring immense power (equivalent to five nuclear plants), raising concerns about AI's resource consumption. "Rocket on a Rocket": Blue Origin's NS-32 private space flight will include investor Mark Rocket, CEO of Kai Aerospace and seed investor in Rocket Lab, among its six passengers: a Panamanian businessman, a radiologist and space camp alumni, an entrepreneur and real estate developer, a middle school STEM teacher, and a Canadian entrepreneur and adventurer. From the wacky Weekly World News: Are eight U.S. senators actually aliens in disguise? (Just a gag!) Main Topic - The Landing Day Initiative Dr. Robert Slater, M.D., joins the podcast to discuss his Lunar Landing Day Initiative. Dr. Slater's Path to Space Passion: Slater's passion for space began at age six, watching the moon landing, an event his parents stressed as historical. The Lunar Landing Day Initiative: Inspired by the lack of public recall about July 20, 1969, Slater started the initiative to celebrate the moon landing as a unifying, historic American achievement. Lunar Landing Day Initiative Federal Holiday Goal: The ultimate goal is to make July 20th a federal holiday with a paid day off for federal employees, encouraging states and companies to follow. Historical Significance: Dr. Slater emphasizes the moon landing's historical context as a Cold War These show notes have been truncated due to length.

In this episode of This Week in Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with Dr. Jim Green, former NASA Chief Scientist. He discusses how we can search for technosignatures that might indicate advanced civilizations in other star systems, new ideas on Mars sample return, and his fascinating experience consulting on the movie, The Martian! Also: this week's robotic landings on the Moon - one successful, one partly so; what's up with the USAF X-37B mini-shuttle; and recent news on those Energizer Bunnies of space, Voyagers 1&2. Their wings have been clipped a bit, but they just keep going... join us! News Lunar Landing Week: Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander achieved a flawless touchdown in Mare Chrisium, the Intuitive Machines Athena lander reached the Moon's south polar region but experienced issues with its navigation radar (and tipped over), and SpaceX's Starship test flight 8 successfully caught its booster for the third time but lost control of the upper stage, resulting in the breakup of the upper stage and debris over the Bahamas and Caribbean. NASA powered down additional instruments on both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to extend their remaining power supply, including Voyager 1's cosmic ray system that helped confirm its entry into interstellar space in 2012. The secretive US Space Force X-37B space plane landed at Vandenberg Space Force Base after 434 days in orbit, completing its seventh mission, which tested new orbital capabilities, including aerobraking techniques. A newly released list showcases the world's top ten locations for dark skies and stargazing, with the US only having only one location—in Hawaii—to make the list. Dr. Jim Green His Career: Dr. Green goes over his former role as NASA's Chief Scientist and highlights key aspects of his career, including running the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) and leading NASA's Planetary Science Division, and how his interest in space first began. The Martian: Dr. Green also explains how he got involved as a consultant for Ridley Scott's movie, "The Martian," and how NASA got really involved with the film. He also shares his favorite scene from the movie. NASA's Search for Alien Civilizations: Dr. Green shares how he helped shift NASA's focus from traditional SETI to searching for technosignatures like Dyson Spheres and O'Neill structures in other star systems, securing $10 million in funding for research that could detect megastructures in our astronomical data while noting that humanity may need similar space habitats in 800 million years when the sun makes Earth uninhabitable. Mars Sample Return Strategy: Dr. Green explains how NASA's evolving plan to return samples fropm Mars includes developing Mars Ascent Vehicles that could eventually support human missions while revealing that Perseverance was deliberately designed to place sample tubes on the surface so any nation could retrieve them, making the mission more politically viable with budget offices and Congress. Humanity's Cosmic Future: Dr. Green reveals that he helped create NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program to support new companies for lunar missions. Despite early failures, he emphasized that humanity must utilize space resources and capabilities to ensure our species' long-term survival.

In a groundbreaking mission, billionaire Jared Isaacman and SpaceX crew trainer Sarah Gillis successfully conducted the first privately financed spacewalk in history. The spacewalk took place early Thursday morning, with Isaacman and Gillis taking turns floating just outside their Crew Dragon capsule at an altitude of 458 miles above Earth. They had an unobstructed view of our planet that left Isaacman in awe. This wasn't just a joyride in space, though. The primary goal of this 1 hour and 46 minutes spacewalk was to test SpaceX's new pressure suits. These new suits are a crucial development for SpaceX's ambitious plans to create low-cost, easy-to-manufacture spacesuits for future commercial astronauts who might one day fly to the moon or Mars aboard SpaceX's Super Heavy Starship rockets.- Japan's Second Moon Landing Attempt: Japanese space exploration company ispace is gearing up for another shot at the moon. Their second lunar landing mission is set to launch as early as December, just over a year and a half after their first attempt. The company's CEO, Takeshi Hakamada, announced that the Hakuto-R Mission 2 will be delivered to space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launching from Florida. After a journey of four to five months, the spacecraft will attempt its crucial lunar touchdown. Despite a setback in their first attempt, the company remains determined to achieve its goals.- SpaceX's Starship Program Delays: Their highly anticipated fifth test flight of its Starship rocket is facing unexpected delays. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced that a final license determination for Starship Flight 5 is not expected before late November 2024. This comes as a setback for SpaceX, who had been gearing up for the launch since their successful fourth flight in June. The delay stems from SpaceX's decision to modify both the vehicle configuration and mission profile for Flight 5, triggering a more in-depth review process.- James Webb Space Telescope's New Discoveries: In a groundbreaking study, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has turned its powerful gaze to the farthest reaches of our Milky Way, capturing stunning images of star-forming regions in what astronomers call the extreme outer galaxy. Using its NIRCam and MIRI instruments, the Webb telescope focused on two molecular clouds known as Deagle Clouds One and Two. These observations have revealed unprecedented details of star clusters undergoing intense bursts of star formation.- NASA's Standardized Lunar Time: NASA is taking on a task that might seem mundane at first glance but is actually crucial for future lunar missions: establishing a standardized lunar time. The space agency is spearheading efforts to create what's being called Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC). This initiative comes in response to a White House policy directive issued in April, recognizing the need for a unified timekeeping system on the moon. This lunar time standard isn't just about the moon, though. NASA sees it as a scalable solution that could be applied to future Mars missions and exploration of other celestial bodies in our solar system.For more space news, be sure to visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Fifteen years after the Apollo 11 lunar landing, the President invited the crew members to the White House for a celebration. You'll be intrigued by the President's remarks – he gives a little history and in the second half of the podcast, we'll hear him explain all the inventions that have emerged from the space program. After his speech, you'll hear Neil Armstrong speak and present the President with a gift, a small American flag that the crew had taken to the moon in 1969. Today, it's been 55 years since that historic landing. Recall that at 1:18 pm, Pacific Daylight Time on July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin brought down the lunar lander Eagle on the moon's surface. Collins remained in the command module Columbia, which orbited 69 miles above. Five more missions sent ten more men to the moon's cratered surface and 843 pounds of precious lunar rocks and soil were returned for analysis.

On Friday's show: An unmanned spacecraft built by a Houston company has landed on the moon, making it the first commercial landing on the lunar surface and the first American spacecraft to make a soft landing there since the Apollo program ended in the 1970s. We learn about the landing and what the Odysseus lander will do during its mission. Also this hour: Saturday is Hockey Day in Houston. An event at Saint Arnold Brewery is designed to promote hockey at all levels in the Houston area. We reflect on some of Houston's hockey history with a former player from the Houston Aeros, we discuss where and how hockey is being played in Greater Houston, and we get the latest on more serious talks about bringing an NHL team here. Then, we meet some of the local artists creating installations for the Houston location of Meow Wolf. And, from the Houston-filmed movie Reality Bites turning 30 years old, to John Oliver making Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a unique offer, we discuss The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

We witnessed history this afternoon.. the first soft lunar landing in 50 years... a success. 

Listen to 53 Future Now Show Len Science Poetry What’s great about stormy weather is that stirs up some great stories, and out here in California it means we have more indoor time.  This translated into more creative time for us play with some of the new AI media tools coming our way.  So in this week’s show you’ll have a preview of what’s possible in telling your tales in more spectacular ways. My favorite experiment so far is our Scifi short, “First Contract,” about a group of intergalactic trader priests negotiating with an off planet entheogenic humanlike tribe living in a tropical rain forest. We have completed just the first couple of minutes sans visuals, a nice tease.. Our last radio broadcast with poet/scientist Len Anderson We are sad about the passing of Santa Cruz poet/physicist Len Anderson, but happy that we are able to share some of his science poetry.  A large part of Len’s work deals poetically with spiritual and metaphysical themes, and funny! One of his poems starts like a joke,”Science and Mysticism walk into a bar, and decide to have it all out in the back alley, each accusing the other of not knowing what he is talking about.,” His friend and colleague on the frontier, Dr. Nick Herbert, wrote a touching in memoriam of Len, on Nick’s blog, including the rest of this poem. So if want to know who won, see you in podcast! 

The first commercial rideshare to the Moon is set to land later this morning, making it the first U.S. lunar landing since Apollo 17 in 1972. Odysseus, which launched last week, is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program which allows private companies to build spacecrafts to send experiments to the moon. NASA deputy manager for the programme Regina Blue spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

On April 12, 1961, the Soviet Union launched the first human into space.  In an effort to “compete”, President JFK asked his VP Lyndon Johnson to identify a “space program which promises dramatic results in which we could win” and began calling for human exploration on the moon “before the decade is out”.  Eight years later, on July 16, 1969, a rocket carrying the Apollo 11 astronauts (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins) took off from Cape Kennedy.  After four days of travel, the lunar module carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon.  As Neil Armstrong stepped out to become the first human on the moon, the event was captured by a television camera attached to the craft, and transmitted back to earth, where 650 million people watched from home.  Of them, 125 million were from USA – making it the most watched television moment in US history according to the air and space museum”.  Michael Collins stayed onboard the command module Columbia as a communications link and photographer.  After 2.5 hours spent on the moon, the three began the journey home, eventually splashing down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24, 1969.  There were 5 more lunar landings, with the final one in 1972.  We have not been back to the moon since The conspiracy theory here is that the US Government faked the lunar landing, in an attempt to win the space race with the Russians, and fulfill the late President's promise to land on the moon before the end of the decade, a mere 5 months away.  Non-believers argue that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin filmed the landing on a secret set, perhaps in Hollywood?.  In fact, this was just a year after Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A space odyssey, which depicted “realistic” images of outer space.  Did he also film the moon landing on a sound stage?   The photo and video evidence was only available through NASA, so there is no way to independently verify their authenticity.   On the other hand,  did rumors of the moon landing hoax originate decades later, due to the fact that the Pentagon Papers and Watergate had left a lot of Americans distrustful of the government?Sources:http://airandspacesi.eduhttps://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/moon-landing-conspiracy-theories-debunkedhttps://www.spacecuriosity.com/moon-landing-live-broadcast/https://www.nasa.gov/mission/apollo-11/https://www.iop.org/explore-physics/moon/how-do-we-know-we-went-to-the-moon#grefhttps://www.history.com/topics/1960s/moon-landing-1969Additional Content (Commissions Earned):Apollo 11 (2019) https://amzn.to/3NKuPaMFirst to the Moon (2019) https://amzn.to/3H8dKnbMoon Shot by Alan Shepherd https://amzn.to/4aCZikQNo Dream is too High by Buzz Aldrin https://amzn.to/3TEOH2RFirst Man: The Life of Neil Armstrong https://amzn.to/3TEOH2RCarrying the Fire by Michael Collins https://amzn.to/41NYNAnSupport the showTheme song by INDA
