My guest for Episode #257 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Chris Lewicki, an Astrofuturist, Engineer, and Entrepreneur who is interested in developing strong, thoughtful foundations for the near-future space economy. Episode page with transcript and more He's a multi-time co-founder. He first co-founded and was CEO of Planetary Resources Inc. (PRI), which focused on the prospecting, development, and use of resources found on near-Earth asteroids. (Skip) He helped acquire over $60M in investment and revenue, built a team of 80 extremely talented engineers, scientists, and business and policy leaders, and launched 3 experimental spacecraft to advance the adoption of space resources as a crucial part of humanity's activities in space. Prior to entering the private sector, Chris was a key member of NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers and the Phoenix Mars Lander, serving as Flight Director for the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity, and as the Surface Mission Manager for Phoenix. Chris received both bachelor's and master's degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Arizona. He's the recipient of two NASA Exceptional Achievement Medals and has an asteroid named in his honor: 13609 Lewicki. Chris imparts lessons learned from his early days in NASA's Mars exploration projects, where a potential disaster during a rover test thrust him into the limelight as an emerging leader in the field. His poignant recount of the incident underscores the nuanced details that contribute to the success or failure of any mission and the critical concept of design for test( DFT). Drawing parallels to the broader engineering community, this episode's riveting discussion reveals essential strategies used in this high-stakes industry. The implementation of mistake-proofing tactics, robust system performance to ensure resilience, or ‘poka-yoke', and the introduction of redundancy in spacecraft design all contribute to an airtight spacecraft system. Learn from Chris's profound insights as he unravels the multifaceted considerations that go into ensuring functionality, designing for testability, and anticipating service requirements and testing needs during the initial design phases. Questions and Topics: Was it a connector being reversed??  New and innovative work… – was it a design mistake to not be “designed for test”? Could that have been mistake proofed in some way? It was not Would they have fired you? Did you ask??? Ernie or others?? Took time to be able to tell the story? How long? What response did you get to sharing that story online? Bringing these lessons into the private sector as CEO? How many people have taken you up on your offer to share their failure stories??

In science, peer review plays a critical role in figuring out if research is good enough, robust enough. In this week's episode, both of our storytellers find themselves looking for outside feedback on if they're good enough. Part 1: At her NASA summer internship, Kirsten Siebach feels completely out of place among the Mars mission scientists. Part 2: Alison Spodek's need to be seen as smart takes over her life. Kirsten Siebach is an Assistant Professor in the Rice University Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences and calls herself a Martian Geologist. She is currently a member of the Science and Operations Teams for the Mars 2020 rover Perseverance and the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity, and previously worked on the science and engineering teams for the Phoenix Lander and the two Mars Exploration Rovers. She uses the images, chemistry, and other data that the rovers send back from Mars to study ancient environments on the Red Planet and compare them to ancient and modern environments on Earth. She received her bachelor's degree in Earth and Planetary Science and Chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis and her Ph.D. in Geology from Caltech. Kirsten is actively engaged in science education and outreach and loves sharing the stories and images from Mars with students and the public. She has been interviewed in multiple documentaries and TV shows related to Mars exploration and has given over one hundred talks to students and interest groups around the world. Outside of professional interests, she loves travel and photography (on Earth as well as Mars), and enjoys swimming, hiking, and puzzles. Alison Spodek is a flamingo, majestically awkward in some circumstances, moderately graceful in others. A fierce competitor in her extended family's daily Wordle competition, she is also an associate professor and chair of the chemistry department at Vassar College. There, her research focuses on the behaviors of all the most fun elements in the environment, particularly arsenic, mercury, lead, and uranium, but her real passion is helping people understand the world around them, particularly those who think they are “not good at science.” She lives in Beacon, NY with her husband, two kids, and a crotchety old dog.

When Vandi Verma saw the Spirit and Opportunity rovers land on Mars while she was working toward a Ph.D. in robotics, it set her on a path toward working at NASA in space exploration., Perhaps unsurprisingly, today, as chief engineer for robotic operations at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Vandi sees the biggest opportunities for artificial intelligence in robotics and automation. She describes the ways in which the Mars rovers rely on AI, including the technology's use in digital twin simulations that enable JPL scientists at to practice their driving skills before actually controlling the rovers on Mars. She also discusses how NASA's use of AI — and its approach to risk — offer lessons for organizations that are looking to simulate real-world scenarios here on Earth. Read the episode transcript here.

The Honeybee Robotics team found a special way to cope with the tragedy of September 11th.

Geologists in the field climb hills and hang onto craggy outcrops; they put their fingers in sand and scratch, smell, and even taste rocks. Beginning in 2004, however, a team of geologists and other planetary scientists did field science in a dark room in Pasadena, exploring Mars from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) by means of the remotely operated Mars Exploration Rovers (MER). Clustered around monitors, living on Mars time, painstakingly plotting each movement of the rovers and their tools, sensors, and cameras, these scientists reported that they felt as if they were on Mars themselves, doing field science. The MER created a virtual experience of being on Mars. In Working on Mars, William Clancey examines how the MER has changed the nature of planetary field science. Drawing on his extensive observations of scientists in the field and at the JPL, Clancey investigates how the design of the rover mission enables field science on Mars, explaining how the scientists and rover engineers manipulate the vehicle and why the programmable tools and analytic instruments work so well for them. He shows how the scientists felt not as if they were issuing commands to a machine but rather as if they were working on the red planet, riding together in the rover on a voyage of discovery. William J. Clancey is Chief Scientist of Human-Centered Computing in the Intelligent Systems Division at NASA Ames Research Center, and Senior Research Scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition.

The Spirit Rover was launched by NASA in 2003 as part of the Mars Exploration Rover mission. Throughout its mission, Spirit made numerous important discoveries, including evidence that Mars was once much wetter than it is today and a better understanding of Martian wind patterns!English county cricket teams introduced the first official Twenty20 matches in response to the declining popularity of the sport among younger generations. The format quickly spread around the cricket world, with most international tours featuring at least one Twenty20 match and all Test-playing nations having a domestic cup competition for the format.Yahoo! made a significant acquisition when it purchased Overture for $1.63 billion. Overture developed the pay-per-click model for search engines, which involved advertisers bidding on keywords and paying each time a user clicked on their ads. However, they struggled to develop a loyal user base and faced challenges in scaling its business. The song "Magic Stick" by Lil' Kim and 50 Cent, "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne, and the film "2 Fast 2 Furious" were the big releases in entertainment this week.The Australian television series "Always Greener" ended after declining ratings and concerns over production costs. The show followed the lives of two families who decided to switch homes and start a new direction in life. Hillary Clinton's book "Living History" was released in 2003, providing a revealing memoir of her life during the White House years and her role as a major figure in American politics. While some readers found the book engaging and inspiring, others criticised it for lacking substance and avoiding certain controversial topics.Thanks for the summary chatGPT...

L'émission 28 Minutes du 05/01/2023 Au programme de l'émission du 5 janvier 2023 ⬇ Nathalie Cabrol, la quête de la vie extra-terrestre dans l'Univers Chercheuse principale à l'Institut SETI, en Californie, Nathalie Cabrol est membre de l'équipe du Mars Exploration Rover de la NASA et tente de découvrir des preuves de vie extra-terrestre. L'astrobiologiste franco-américaine, animée par le goût de l'aventure, est connue pour ses expéditions scientifiques en haute altitude dans les Andes chiliennes, qui ressemblent le plus à l'atmosphère martienne. Elle pense que Mars pourrait être "terraformée", c'est-à-dire transformée en un environnement où les humains seraient capables de vivre sans protection supplémentaire. Elle est également convaincue que les changements environnementaux de cette planète, il y a des milliards d'années, constituent un signal d'alarme et permettraient de prévoir ce qui se passera sur Terre. Son ouvrage "À l'aube de nouveaux horizons" paraît le 6 janvier 2023 aux éditions Seuil. Nathalie Cabrol est notre invitée.  Santé : sommes-nous prêts à payer plus pour sauver un système à l'agonie ?  Le système de santé français semble continuer son naufrage. La grève des médecins libéraux qui a commencé le 26 décembre est reconduite jusqu'au 8 janvier, accompagnée d'un appel à manifester. Pour répondre à la baisse d'attractivité de la profession, au manque de médecins et à la lutte contre les déserts médicaux, le collectif « Médecins pour demain » réclame notamment un doublement de la consultation de 25€ à 50€. Le gouvernement reste opposé à cette idée. Cette  défaillance de la médecine libérale s'ajoute à la crise de l'hôpital public, aggravée par la pandémie du Covid depuis deux ans. Urgences saturées, nombre de lits insuffisant… La tension est palpable. Toutes les revendications posent une question commune : devons-nous payer plus, comme patient ou comme contribuable, pour sauver notre système de santé ? Sinon, quelles sont les solutions alternatives ? Nous en débattons avec nos invités. Enfin, retrouvez également les chroniques de Xavier Mauduit et d'Alix Van Pée ! 28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au vendredi à 20h05.

You've no doubt got plenty on your plate this Thanksgiving, and so do we. And our offerings don't have any calories. First we've got "Devotion." It's about a pair of U.S. Navy fighter pilots who risk their lives during the Korean War and become some of the Navy's most celebrated wingmen. It's based on a true story. We've also got several films which were nominated at the recent Critics Choice Documentary Awards - first there's "Goodnight Oppy" which follows Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rover affectionately dubbed Oppy by her creators and scientists at NASA. Then there's "The Automat" which centers on the vending machine popularized in the 20th century that offered fresh cooked meals in a commissary-style eatery. And finally, "Three Minutes: A Lengthening" in which snippet of 16mm film offers an emotionally charged, meditative glimpse into the lives of the unsuspecting Jewish citizens of a small Polish village at the precipice of World War II. For horror fans there's "Barbarian" which is about a woman staying at an Airbnb who discovers that the house she has rented is not what it seems. If you're a drama fan there's "The Son" starring Hugh Jackman. And for you Disney musical sequel fans out there (you know who are are) we've got "Disenchanted" which stars Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey. So put off that food coma and listen in!

In this episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Robert chats with Ryan White, director of the new documentary “Good Night Oppy.” The film follows Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rover affectionately dubbed Oppy by her creators and scientists at NASA. Oppy was originally expected to live for only 90 days but she ultimately explored Mars for nearly 15 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First of all, this episode must begin with a shocking revelation: Bill Nye believes in crazy conspiracy stuff. Nutty things like Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. Kooky notions like electromagnetism, thermodynamics, relativity. And even, yes, dare he say it: Climate change. Nye ridiculously thinks that ideas not supported by observation and real data, or science if you will, have more rigor than ideas based on pure opinion, somebody's gut, or religious faith alone. What a whack job, this Bill Nye. Yet, in these days when the science deniers and fabulists are lined up like the supervillains in a Batman comic... William Sanford Nye stands as a stalwart exemplar of the power of intellect, reason and honest, provable fact. What a radical! Bill Nye official sites BillNye.com Bill Nye | YouTube Bill Nye | Facebook Bill Nye | Twitter Bill Nye | Instagram So how did a kid from the tiny hamlet of Washington, D.C. become such a big deal? It's quite an unlikely story. Nonetheless, he's become a full-fledged American icon, a genuine institution, and a major brand. Beyond his time on Almost Live! - and we'll get into that, of course, because that's what this podcast is supposed to be about, the Nye guy has compiled a resume' longer than Benjamin Franklin's. For one thing, Franklin was never on Dancing With the Stars. Beginning in 1993, Bill's wildly successful Bill Nye the Science Guy show aired simultaneously on both commercial and public TV - the first show ever to do that. It ran for five years... and 19 Emmy awards. That alone might make for a landmark career. But the Science Guy was just getting started. Today, Bill is a continuous TV presence, a best-selling author, comedian, mechanical engineer, actor and indefatigable science advocate. An entire Nye documentary has been produced. What's it about? An hour and 40 minutes. Bill is also the C.E.O. of The Planetary Society, he's developed a sundial that is riding on the Mars Exploration Rover right now, and he's received a number of U.S. patents, including a design for a digital abacus. Yes, even the abacus has gone digital. Currently, among all his other activities, he hosts a terrific podcast called Science Rules! It's one you can listen to when you're exercising, to get away either from the travails of daily life, or from the law. Bill's also a fellow, or perhaps ‘guy', on the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. Among other things, the committee investigates extraordinary claims…such as the one Pat Cashman started about how the Almost Live Still Alive podcast is the top-rated one in the world. Bill Nye is a guy who puts his science where his mouth is. He's passionate, sincere, dedicated and about 5 foot 11 and-a-half. He has residences in both L.A. and New York, and this episode catches up with him in one of them.

Ozan Varol is a rocket scientist turned award-winning professor and bestselling author.A native of Istanbul, Turkey, Ozan Varol grew up in a family of no English speakers. He learned English as a second language and moved to the United States by himself at 17 to attend Cornell University and major in astrophysics. While there, he served on the operations team for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project that sent two rovers–Spirit and Opportunity–to Mars. He built stuff that went to the red planet and wrote code that snaps photos of the Martian surface. He was on track to built a powerhouse career as a literal rocket scientist.Leaving Cornell, though, Ozan pivoted and went to law school, graduating first in his class, earning the highest grade point average in his law school’s history, then became a law professor, teaching at Lewis & Clark Law School in his twenties, becoming the youngest tenured professor. While teaching law, there was always a deeper driver, the rocket scientist in him was on a mission to share the scientific process and mindset to influence others to make giant leaps on Earth. He shares philosophy in the wonderful book, Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life (https://tinyurl.com/yyr3g6kf)You can find Ozan Varol at: Website (http://weeklycontrarian.com/)Check out offerings & partners: KiwiCo: kiwico.com - Get 50% off your first month plus FREE shipping on any crate line with code GOODLIFEThe New Yorker: NewYorker.com/GOODLIFE - Get 12 weeks of The New Yorker for just $6 - plus, you will receive an exclusive tote bag - free.Man Crates: ManCrates.com/GOODLIFE

A native of Istanbul, Turkey, he learned English as a second language and moved to the United States by himself at 17 to attend Cornell University and major in astrophysics. While there, he served on the operations team for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project that sent two rovers–Spirit and Opportunity–to Mars.

Ozan is the author of Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life and recently spoke with Heather Hoerle, EMA's Executive Director and CEO at the opening of our online annual conference.

I've been working at NASA for over fifteen years now, and in that time, I've seen dozens of proposals for a manned landing on Mars. Hundreds of people spent weeks at a time discussing the engineering process behind designing a craft capable of carrying out the task of transporting mankind back and forth between the two planets. Millions of dollars poured into projects that never came to light. And for the longest time, the problem was that we simply couldn't feasibly land someone on the planet and then help them return home safely. In part, that was one of the reasons we launched the Mars Exploration Rovers.But In Truth..The Real Hazard Was Not The Trip Too & From The Planets, But Rather Whats Was Already Awaiting Our Arrival & That Would Be Much More Worrying!A Thank Huge you to the Author u/depsurrel!If you have a story you would like me to narrate?

How many times have you heard the phrase - “Well, it’s not exactly rocket science” when someone is referring to something as easy?  I guess that means that we associate those who actually ARE rocket scientists with being exceptionally smart.  And while that’s probably true - actually it IS true - the reality is that you and I can think like a rocket scientist, without actually having to send anything into space.  So, just how do rocket scientists think? And how can you and I apply that thinking to our work and our lives in order to increase our impact?    My guest on Episode 47 of the Impact Makers Podcast has an idea. In fact, he’s been there, done that, and has written the book on it.  Ozan Varol is a rocket scientist turned award-winning professor and #1 bestselling author. He’s also one of the world’s foremost experts in creativity, innovation, and critical thinking.   Ozan grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, learned English as his second language, and moved to the United States by himself at the age of 17 to attend Cornell University and major in astrophysics in order to achieve his dream of becoming an American astronaut.    While attending Cornell, he served on the operations team for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project that sent two rovers – Spirit and Opportunity – to Mars. Then in a surprising twist, ditched his dream to become an astronaut, and chose to attend law school instead, where - in true rocket scientist form - he graduated first in his class, earning the highest grade point average in the school’s history.   After practicing law for a few years, he decided to join the ranks of academia at Lewis & Clark Law School in beautiful Portland, Oregon, where he became a law professor, with a goal of influencing others to make giant leaps on Earth.    In April 2020, Ozan’s book - Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life - was published, and it was recently named one Inc.com’s 6 Business Books You Need to Read in 2020.    It’s also listed as one of Amazon’s Top 20 books of 2020 in three categories (non-fiction, business, and science), and was chosen as the number one pick on noted author Adam Grant’s list of the top 20 leadership books of 2020.  I recently connected with Ozan, and have enjoyed learning from him through his popular weekly emails, and I’m challenging myself to apply the 9 strategies in his book to make giant leaps in my work and in my life.  I think you’ll get a lot of great takeaways from my conversation with Ozan today, and you can find links in the show notes to connect with him, buy the book, and sign up for his weekly email that shares one big idea that you can read in 3 minutes or less.   Topics Discussed In This Episode:​​ Why moonshot thinking can produce great results - even if you don’t reach what you’re aiming for.  What we can learn from snakes that can create space for new ideas to emerge. The importance of just starting - and not waiting until everything is in place - to facilitate the emergence of new ideas. The benefits of moonshot thinking during times of chaos and uncertainty. How looking at the assumptions in your life and applying first principles thinking can generate original insights. 3 ways to open up your mind to allow for moonshot thinking - even if you don’t consider yourself a visionary thinker.  What George Costanza and rocket scientists have in common - and what you can learn from both. The power of putting yourself into “Airplane Mode”, and why doing nothing is more valuable than you think.    People & Resources Mentioned In This episode: Ozan Varol Weekly Contrarian - one big idea you can read in 3 minutes or less Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life Hardcover by Ozan Varol Impact Makers Podcast episode 009 - Prison to Plan to Payoff: Becoming an Entrepreneur with Kary Oberbrunner Adam Grant X, the Moonshot Factory Astro Teller SpaceX Elon Musk Blue Origin   Connect with Jennifer: Send her a message [https://jennifermcclure.net/contact/] On LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifermcclure On Twitter: https://twitter.com/JenniferMcClure On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennifer_mcclure/ On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/JenniferMcClureSpeaker   *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest, is a real-life rocket scientist. Ozan Varol definitely brings the goods in this conversation. You’ll learn how to think big, flirt with uncertainty, not be afraid to fail, and launch your success.In his new book, “Think Like a Rocket Scientist: Simple Strategies You Can Use to Make Giant Leaps in Work and Life,” Ozan explains how to develop critical thinking skills so you can tackle seemingly impossible things. As an astrophysicist, Ozan was part of the operations team for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project, where he built stuff that went to the Red Planet and wrote code that snapped photos of the Martian surface. Then he pivoted to become a lawyer, then changed direction again to become an award-winning law professor, author, and public speaker.The whole time, he kept on thinking like a rocket scientist. Here’s Ozan’s perspective on a few of the things we talked about:Figure Things Out: “In the real world, problems are not handed to you on a silver platter. You have to find the problem and then you have to reframe it. Define it. Figure out ways of looking at it from different angles so you can illuminate other answers that you may have initially missed, but you don't learn any of that in school.” Pivot & Problem-solving: “If you're listening to this and the pandemic has disrupted the way that you conduct your business, ask yourself, how do I solve the problems that the world needs solving right now, as opposed to the problems that I want it to solve, as opposed to the problems that I expected to solve? How can I use my skills, resources, product services in a way that I haven't used them before to address the problems that now exist in the world?Think Long Term: “Step No. 1 is just realizing that if you are able to look toward the long term, and stop chasing short-term outcomes, the results tend to be much better at a both personal institutional level.”Know Your Blind Spots: “Sometimes blind spots come because I am too close to the problem to think differently. And this happens quite a bit. You're so immersed in the weeds of what you’re talking about or what you’re thinking about. And it’s hard for you to step back and see other paths.”Find Your Curiosity: “Whenever I follow my natural curiosity, regardless of where it may be lead, that works out well for me. But when I start chasing outcomes, that completely robs the joy away from the process. Whenever I can turn process into play, work becomes play, play is work. There's really no distinguishing between the two, and I'm just following my curiosity, regardless of where it might lead. That's right where the magic happens.” Enjoy!

In this episode, Matt is joined by rocket scientist Ozan Varol. Ozan is a rocket scientist turned award-winning professor and author. A native of Istanbul, Turkey, Ozan grew up in a family of no English speakers. He learned English as a second language and moved to the United States by himself at 17 to attend Cornell University and major in astrophysics. While there, he served on the operations team for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project that sent two rovers–Spirit and Opportunity–to Mars. He built stuff that went to the red planet and wrote code that snaps photos of the Martian surface. Fortunately, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to think like one as this episode provides you with some practical tips that you can use in your daily life.

When someone is struggling with a seemingly easy problem, someone else might say, "Come on, it's not rocket science!" The inference being that rocket science represents the pinnacle of complexity. But my guest today argues that the study of rocket science contains some simple, overarching principles that cannot only be universally understood, but universally applied to all kinds of problems and decisions. His name is Ozan Varol, he served on the operations team for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project, and he's the author of the book Think Like a Rocket Scientist. We begin our conversation discussing why Ozan went from studying astrophysics to going to law school, and how his scientific background has influenced his legal career. We then dig into ways that the same thought processes that enable spacecraft to travel millions of miles can also be applied to moving forward in work and life. Ozan explains how scientists deal with uncertainty and why you have to constantly question the way things are done to get better results. We end our discussion by talking about how to use thought experiments to solve problems, how to test ideas, and how to actually learn from your failures.

Fred Serricchio is a senior engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he’s worked for the past 25 years. And if you’ve ever heard the phrase ‘cmon, it’s not rocket science,’ for Fred Serricchio, it really is!  Fred’s work with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has led him to work directly with the Mars Exploration Rovers as an Attitude Control System Engineer and in the Mars Science Laboratory. Fred’s work has been focused on cruise operations, entry, descent and landing (EDL), testing and operation, and surface operations.

Barbara Cohen is a Planetary Scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Her interest lies in impact events across the Solar System. Barbara’s work includes laboratory geochronology (time and earth) to determine when rocks formed. Because she is not able to travel to places like the Moon and Mars, Barbara instead relies on robots that can travel to these places and perform investigations. She has participated in NASA missions that include Mars Exploration Rover, Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and the current Perseverance mission. Rovers from each of these missions have collected samples and returned them to scientists back on Earth. Barbara is hopeful that the United States will eventually send a robot to the Moon to collect samples. Plans for travel to the Moon include a possible mission (hopefully in 2021) called Lunar Flashlight, where a very small satellite will shine a laser on some of the Moon’s darkest craters in an attempt to look for ice hidden at the Moon’s South Pole. Lunar Flashlight will also serve to collect information related to the record of bombardment in our Solar System. All of the comets and asteroids that have been hitting the Earth and the Moon leave traces of themselves behind that can be used as a time capsule. Barbara is also working on sending a mass spectrometer to the moon that will travel on a commercial lunar lander (hopefully in 2021). Barbara explains how mass spectrometry works. The mass spectrometer will look at molecules in the lunar exosphere and provide data that Barbara can use to do geochronology on the Moon. Barbara is also interested in improving imagery to allow people on Earth a better virtual reality experience for what it’s like on the surfaces of both the Moon and Mars.

Extraordinary Means Just That - Beyond The OrdinaryContrarian: A person who takes up a contrary position, especially a position opposed to the majority view, regardless of how unpopular it is.- Webster's DictionaryThinking Perspectives: Constructive Contrarian InsightsOzan Virol is a rocket scientist turned author, award-winning law professor, and inventive rethinker. At heart, he's an avowed and exceedingly interesting contrarian. Through his articles and interviews, he shows how extraordinary thinking produces extraordinary results, whether at work or at the next dinner party. He helps us reconsider the underlying opportunities in these times of neuroscience discovery, our http://corebrainjournal.com/galileo (Galileo Mind Moment.)

While there, he served on the operations team for the 2003 Mars Exploration Rovers project that sent two rovers–Spirit and Opportunity–to Mars. He built stuff that went to the red planet and wrote code that snaps photos of the Martian surface. Then, he walked away from it all and became a law professor to influence others to make interplanetary leaps on this planet. He graduated first in his class from law school, earning the highest grade point average in his law school's history since the introduction of the 4-point grading scale.

On this episode of Talking Space, the team discusses the International Space Station One Year Mission. We also mention that the New Horizons spacecraft is just a little over 90 days away from its destination: Pluto. We then look at the ramifications of an article by Eric Berger of the Houston Chronicle making an assertion that NASA is looking at leveraging the Moon as a true stepping stone to Mars. We also cite The Examiner's Mark Whittington, and a rebuttal to Mr. Berger's piece by Marcia Smith at SpacePolicyOnline . Mr. Berger stood by his piece in a later blog post. NASA Chief Scientist Ellen Stofan said during a public panel aired on NASA TV, “I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade." We discuss what that really means for us and how some main stream media outlets have reported on this story. Mark Ratterman wraps up his involvement with the First Robotics Competition  and what do the Mars Exploration Rovers have in common with Major League Baseball? We'll tell you in this week's NASA Spinoff Segment.  The outro song is "Familiar Frontier " by Craft Lass. It is used with her permission.

On this episode, we welcome back Scott Maxwell who works for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory driving Mars rovers. We first discuss the Mars Exploration Rovers, or MERs, Spirit and Opportunity. We talk about the end of Spirit, what was done, and what it was like saying goodbye. We then talk about the milestones and records that Opportunity is reaching having been on Mars for just under 100 months on it's planned 90 day mission. From there, we move on to Scott's next task, which will be driving the Mars Science Laboratory, or Curiosity, when it lands on Mars in early August of this year. We talk about the differences in the rovers, the training involved, and about what Curiosity's mission will be on Mars.
