One of the most amazing scientific advances in my lifetime has been those great space shuttle flights. Especially back when they were first getting started. We got to hear space news on a pretty regular basis and watch those dramatic launches. We'd hear conversations from space. We still do, from the Space Station. It looks like we're getting back into the moon business too! You know, you could hear the familiar sound of the conversation between the NASA Mission Control Center and those astronauts up there. The space day would begin with a wake up song from Houston. They'd play something that would say, “Good morning!” Then they would communicate back and forth all day long. Of course, they were in constant communication. See, when you're living in an environment where so much could go wrong; it's really important to do that. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Not Just When There's Trouble.” Our word for today from the Word of God – Isaiah 30. I'll begin at verse 1: “'Woe to the obstinate children,' declares the Lord.” Who are those? “Those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin; who go down to Egypt without consulting me; who look for help to Pharaoh's protection, to Egypt's shade for refuge. But Pharaoh's protection will be to your shame. Everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them, who bring neither help nor advantage, but only shame and disgrace.” This is a description of God's people off course; they're off on their own. They've made some plans, they've made some alliances, they've asked for some help. But it's only going to lead to shame and disgrace. Why are they off course? Well, he said they planned but “not by my Spirit.” They've gone ahead “without consulting me.” Imagine if our astronauts had only communicated with Mission Control at launch time, and then as soon as they were safely up, they went off and did what they pleased; no input all day from the data that they have at Mission Control? Well, that would be dumb if not disaster! And then the only other time they would contact Mission Control was when a crisis developed. I can just imagine Houston coming back and saying, “If you'd been in touch with us all along, there might not have been a crisis.” Or, “We could have helped you correct it when it was small.” I've done that so many times in my relationship with my Mission Control - I mean my Heavenly Father. Have you? We have a good time talking when we're launching something. As the day begins, I spend my time with the Lord, and we talk through the issues of that day. And then, of course, I run to Him when trouble develops. But I neglect the points in between sometimes. I tend to neglect that regular communication throughout the non-crisis details of the day and that's a big mistake. You know, just stop for a moment and say, “Lord, what do You want done here? Which way should I go on this? Who's the right person? What's the best way to answer this? What's the best way to solve this?” Listen to those words; they're haunting words. God says, “You've proceeded without consulting me. You're carrying out plans that are not mine.” We don't mean to. It just happens because we do not stay in close, all day communication when those little choices are being made that make the big choices. Many crises are the result of everyday decisions we make without consulting our Commander. We need to consciously practice what Jesus calls “abiding in Him.” Not just visiting. Abiding in Him! Like those astronauts, we need to stay in constant contact with Mission Control.

When I started my business, I wanted to create spaces where every single person felt seen, heard, and like they truly belonged . It sounds so beautifully simple on the surface, doesn't it? But as we all know, making sure people feel heard at work can get incredibly messy . This week, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with a peer of mine from grad school, Daniel Newton, an Associate Professor at the University of Iowa, whose research on workplace engagement is quite literally out of this world . He's spent years studying how people speak up and stay engaged, working with everyone from corporate teams to actual astronauts aboard the International Space Station . Now, I always say that if an astronaut floating in zero gravity can feel ignored by Mission Control, it's okay if your team is struggling to communicate during shift changes ! Daniel and I shared some great laughs about the black box of office suggestion boxes (which usually just collect dust and some very chaotic notes) and how we can all become better allies by lifting each other's ideas . Key Themes from the Conversation Even Astronauts Struggle to Feel Heard. Feeling heard requires more than just listening. Speaking up requires responsive action or transparent feedback . When leaders or institutions fail to act, it creates a sense of being ignored, even in high-stakes environments like space exploration . "I worked with an astronaut that literally shared an idea with Mission Control and they didn't do anything, so he had to say it again, and then again. Even people that train for years and years, and have the complete trust of NASA, even they don't feel heard in their work sometimes." – Daniel Newton The Power of the Newcomer Perspective. People often hesitate to speak up because they are new, young, or feel like an imposter . However, fresh eyes bring the highest level of creative disruption and innovation to long-standing, status-quo systems . "The newcomer perspective is really valuable because you're gonna see things differently. And so we may hesitate to speak up because we feel like we're too new." – Daniel Newton Problems Drive Action, While Ideas Risk the Back Burner. Voicing workplace problems creates an immediate sense of urgency that forces management to respond and implement solutions quickly . The paradox is that while problems get fixed, proactive and creative new ideas are often pushed aside . "Creating urgency means that managers respond faster, and the company is more likely to implement and resolve those problems. But the downside of that potentially could be that new, yet important ideas get put on the back burner." – Daniel Newton AI as a Useful Sounding Board, Not a Human Replacement. Artificial intelligence serves as a fantastic, low-stakes rehearsal partner to build confidence before pitching ideas . While AI excels at optimizing usefulness and efficiency, human input remains essential for true originality and novel thinking . "AI-generated ideas were really good with the usefulness component. But the humans were really good at the originality component. If we're generating new ideas, we need the human in the loop." – Daniel Newton The Power of Indirect Framing (The "Midwest Nice" Strategy). For those who struggle to be blunt, framing an idea or problem as a collaborative question lowers defensiveness in dominant leaders and invites them into the solution rather than putting them on the defensive . "Have we thought about X? Or might we consider doing this? Being indirect, asking or speaking up in the form of a question is helpful because it didn't put leaders on the spot. They don't feel as threatened." – Daniel Newton One Actionable Takeaway To help an idea land successfully with a dominant supervisor or to ease your own anxiety about speaking up, frame your insight as a question (e.g., "I wonder if we might consider..." or "Have we looked at...") rather than a direct mandate . This invites collaboration, lowers leadership defensiveness, and creates an immediate open door for your perspective to be heard .

The UK has set one of the most ambitious energy targets in Europe: a fully clean power system by 2030. But achieving it will require a transformation of the country's electricity network, unprecedented levels of renewable investment, and difficult political and regulatory decisions.Recorded in Whitehall, Richard Sverrisson sits down with Chris Stark, Head of UK's Mission for Clean Power, UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, to discuss whether the country is on track to meet its target and what still stands in the way.Can the UK build the grid, generation and flexibility needed in time? And what lessons could the rest of Europe learn from its approach?The conversation explores the UK's efforts to reform grid connection queues, accelerate infrastructure delivery, expand battery storage, develop new nuclear capacity and strengthen links with European energy markets. Or as Chris Stark put it the tough choices needed to “ungum the system”.#PluggedInPodcast #EnergyTransition #CleanPower2030 #EnergyPolicy #GridInfrastructure #RenewableEnergy #EnergySecurity #NetZero #ChrisStarkHost:Snjólfur Richard Sverrisson – Editor-in-Chief, Montel NewsGuest: Chris Stark – Head of Mission Control for Clean Power 2030, Department for Energy Security and Net ZeroEditor: Alexandra CarlonProducer: Alexandra Carlon
Hi, I'm Jeff Ikler, host of the Cultivating Curiosity podcast. This summer, I'm periodically releasing mini-episodes of "Cultivating Curiosity." In about 10 minutes, I'll dive deeper into a key point from a previously broadcast evergreen episode. The content in these mini-episodes is designed to be readily applicable to your life or work. This week's mini-episode comes from a May 2023 interview with Dr. Alan Stern. Today, Dr. Stern is an aerospace executive and remains a planetary scientist. In 2015, he was the Principal Investigator on the historic New Horizons mission to Pluto. In that role, he had ultimate responsibility for the entire research project, overseeing its scientific, technical, and administrative aspects. The situation In 2015, after a nine-year journey, the New Horizons spacecraft was poised to complete its an historic flyby of Pluto. But success was not guaranteed. For the New Horizons' mission to be successful, all of the spacecraft's data-gathering instruments had to work flawlessly starting seven days before reaching its closest point to the planet and for at least two days after. All of the maneuvering of the seven data-gathering instruments – what they would look at, what they would measure – had to be preprogrammed into the craft's computer. There was simply no way someone back at Mission Control could drive the spacecraft in real time, because by 2015 New Horizons was three billion miles from Earth. A signal traveling at the speed of light would take 4.5 hours to reach the speeding spacecraft. In that amount of time, whatever Mission Control had been directing the spacecraft to photograph or measure would likely have passed. But preprogramming didn't guarantee success either. New Horizons, traveling at 35,000 miles an hour, had to reach a specific point in space within a nine-minute window, or "the box," as the team referred to it. If the craft were early or late to that point, the computer would be directing the instruments to look at or measure something during the critical flyby period that wasn't centered in their field of view – or potentially not there at all. And there would be no time to recalibrate them. Orbiting Pluto for a redo was out of the question because the spacecraft didn't have the necessary fuel to execute such a move. Orbiting Pluto wasn't even in the mission plan. If the box were missed, the potential to collect data would be lost. The mission would have failed. A grace period of only nine minutes. 540 seconds. After three billion miles. And nine years. The good news is that Mission Control scientists were carefully monitoring the spacecraft as it approached the ideal central point and calculated that it was less than two minutes off – way inside the nine-minute box. Everyone in Mission Control breathed a sigh of relief. But what if we…? Scientists and engineers are, however, perfectionists, so the question quickly arose, "Do we make a correction? Do we scratch back a few more important seconds to make sure our instruments are pointing where we want them to point?" Days before the critical flyby, there was still time to do so. It was a tempting proposition. Dr. Stern picks up the story. Once we got in the box, the navigation teams recommended that we do one more engine firing to really put it in the middle of the box. And we had an analysis done that showed that if we didn't change anything if we stayed where we were, didn't go to the middle of the box but we're just in the box, we would get every single scientific observation One that we had set out to do. And yet they were recommending, and in fact, the engineering and science teams, were recommending that we just nail it, we go right down the middle of the pike. And I rejected that as the leader of the mission. Because at that point, we were going to get everything we came for. And while we might have done a few things a little bit better, the risk that that engine burn might have gone haywire, or sent the spacecraft into some fetal position where it needed help from Mama back on Earth before or we could carry out the flyby was real. And I didn't want to take any risk. Once we were in the box. You know, there's an old saying Better is the enemy of good knife. Yeah, right. It was good enough. And as you've seen from the results, we really nailed it. So I'm glad that we, we backed away from that, because it looks to me like more risk than reward, To summarize, as the mission leader, Dr. Stern gathered everyone on his team together to review the navigation calculations, and then took three powerful steps: 1. Stern asked each of his team members to voice their opinion on the wisdom of making the correction. One by one, around the table, each leader of a critical aspect of the program voiced "Go," recommending the correction. 2. Stern waited and took notes until everyone had the opportunity to voice his or her opinion. He then made the decision: "No go." 3. He then asked a critical question, "Is there a must-do reason to make the correction when we're already safely within the box?" He went back around the room and asked each section leader to respond. After hearing from everyone, Stern stood with his original "No go." It was simply not worth the risk of introducing a potential programming error this late in the game. New Horizons soon flew past Pluto at 35,000 miles an hour, a mere 7,500 miles above the dwarf planet's surface. As the spacecraft began to "phone home" amazing images and other data, it was clear that New Horizons – the first mission to Pluto – was an unqualified success. "Good enough" was truly good enough. The idea Leaders typically struggle with three questions in scenarios like the one before the New Horizons team, and they do so because they feel "All eyes are on me." • Do they feel they need to make the immediate call without input because they're the leader, or do they ask to hear from all members of their team on the critical question? • Do they speak first because they're the leader, or do they weigh input from the team and speak last? And finally, • Do they push for "better," or do they stand pat when there is evidence that "good enough" is truly good enough? Here's Dr. Stern's further rationale for the process. I always speak last. As the mission leader, I'm a firm believer that, well, I might set the table, I might start a meeting off, here are our objectives, here's what we should consider that the final gonna go on my part should be considered one, having heard from all the experts that know more than me about each individual area, my job is to go broad, and make sure that the mission carries out all of his objectives. And their job is to go deep, and make sure that each little piece is operating properly. So I was last in that poll. And I did reject what was a unanimous decision by everyone else. And it was a little lonely, but you know what, I was confident in it. And it worked out just fine. Dr. Melissa Hughes, a neuroscience geek researcher and author of Happier Hour with Einstein, Another Round, reinforces Dr. Stern's steps as a meaningful way to avoid "groupthink," which she defined as "a psychological phenomenon that happens when people in a group willingly or unconsciously commit to decisions they don't necessarily agree with to avoid creating emotional tension or conflict with their colleagues." In Dr. Stern's case, no one on his team wanted to be the only "No go" and buck the "groupthink." The consequences of groupthink, as Dr. Hughes describes, can be significant: "When people…put harmony and cohesion above the critical evaluation and analysis of the outcome, they stifle their thoughts, refrain from asking the hard questions and avoid exposing potential pitfalls. This often leads to irrational or problematic decisions." In New Horizons' case, the consequences of groupthink could have been disastrous. A program note: If you're a space geek like I am, I've included a couple of illustrations of the mission in the shownotes on my website.

Industry experts discuss the shift from “The Triangle” to “The Zone,” the explosion of ADUs in Southern California, and why your Pinterest board might be lying to you. Southern California builders, designers, and innovators to dissect the radical shifts in residential design since 2022. The conversation moves beyond simple aesthetics to explore how the “post-pandemic” home has become a multi-functional hub. From the technical complexities of “electrically heavy” kitchens to the rise of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) as multi-generational lifelines, this episode serves as a masterclass in the collaborative effort required to build a “forever home” in today's market. The Participants Daniel Franco: DuMonde Builders Denise Fernandez & Tanisha Johnson Monroe: Johnson & Fernandez Interior Design J.R. Joseph Rodriguez: Joseph Interiors Verzine Hovasapyan: Director of Innovation for Pacific Sales Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Shelter Republic – Request your membership invitation The Great Post-Pandemic Kitchen Reset Leading builders and designers discuss the demise of the “work triangle,” the rise of multigenerational spaces, and why clients must stop scrolling Pinterest and start budgeting before remodeling. Summary of Key Concepts The Death of the “Work Triangle”: The traditional 1940s “work triangle” has been replaced by specialized “micro-zones” (e.g., breakfast stations, baking zones, “Mission Control” homework hubs) to accommodate multi-user and multi-generational households. The Intergenerational Anchor: As adult children and elderly parents move back, kitchens are expanding into living areas, becoming the specialized, central ecosystem that anchors the home. Specialization Over Cabinetry: Clients now prioritize hyper-specific, electrically heavy stations (like advanced smoothie stations with plumbing or complex water filtration for a coffee obsession) over a simple maximum quantity of cabinet boxes. Aging in Place & Wellness: Technology like steam ovens, induction cooktops (safer for both younger cooks and seniors), and automated, sensory lighting is being integrated to support lifelong wellness in “forever homes.” The Crucial Co-Lab: Designer + GC + Vendor: The most successful projects integrate the interior designer and the contractor from the discovery call, ensuring the client is educated on true procurement timelines and material realities before walls go up. The Death of the “Kitchen Triangle”: Designers are moving away from traditional layouts toward “zone-based” design. Modern kitchens now feature dedicated baking stations, “mission control” desks for homework, and professional-grade coffee bars. The Multi-Generational Shift: High interest rates and cost-of-living increases are bringing adult children and elderly parents back under one roof. This has turned ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) from optional luxuries into essential square footage for privacy and accessibility. Wellness & Innovation: A surge in “healthy home” awareness is driving the popularity of induction cooktops (reducing gas emissions) and steam ovens over traditional ranges. The “Team-First” Approach: Why engaging a contractor and designer before plan-check saves thousands. The panel explains how early collaboration prevents “alarmist” project meetings and ensures technical feasibility for heavy appliance loads. The Pinterest/AI Pitfall: Experts warn against the “social media expectation gap.” They discuss how to translate a “feeling” from an AI-generated image into a functional, buildable reality that fits a Southern California budget. Quality Disparity: A crucial lesson on “Trade vs. Retail” products—explaining why the same brand name can have vastly different internal components (plastic vs. brass) depending on where it's purchased.

Eric Ries is an author, podcaster, and founder of The Lean Startup. He hosts The Eric Ries Show and his notable books Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great, The Lean Startup, Farther, Faster, and Far Less Drama, The Leader's Guide, and The Startup Way. Greg and Eric discuss why startups and corporations lose their mission through shifts from founder-to investor-control, changing from long-term focus to short-term focus, and purpose-driven to profit-driven behavior. Eric argues governance is “organizational soul craft” and critiques shareholder primacy as a recent, judge-and-academic-driven ideology that creates unaccountable short-term pressure, metric surrogation, and value destruction, even for shareholders. Eric also explains how markets reward short-term cost-cutting (e.g. reduced R&D), and why mission-driven companies can outperform. He outlines practical protections such as writing mission primacy into charters, converting to Public Benefit Corporations, and stronger structures like foundation ownership (e.g. Novo Nordisk and Patagonia). *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Mission-driven or mission-hopeful? 12:39: So I think for companies, we're seeing this world now where we have a divergence between the mission statement and the actual mission or purpose of the organization. So the mission statement is lofty. I tell the story in the book of Silicon Valley Bank before it collapsed. Its mission statement was something like, “To advance the innovation economy,” or whatever. But its actual legal purpose was just maximize shareholder value. So this divergence caused the collapse of the bank. And so, first of all, if you have a mission statement, but your purpose says “any lawful act or activity,” you're lying. Just so you know, you are lying to your customers. You are lying to your employees. You're lying to everyone you say that mission to because, according to current legal theory, you could be replaced at a moment's notice by your investors, who will then can change the mission to whatever they want. I call that not being mission-driven. You are mission-hopeful. You're hoping nobody will do this to you in the future. Governance is organizational soul craft Governance sounds really boring, but it's really the art of organizational soul craft. It's actually really interesting. And if we can get leaders and founders to pay more attention to it, they can have a much higher probability of their organization enduring. The age of temporary organizations 27:46: I say we've entered an era of temporary managers running temporary organizations for the benefit of temporary owners because executive tenure, company lifespan, and average holding period of stocks have all collapsed in the last, especially the last twenty-five years, let alone the last forty years. So, I don't think it's possible to really have—it's very difficult to build a value-creating organization in that span, and the markets will punish you for doing so.

Chris Stark is leading the UK's Clean Power 2030 mission. As Head of Mission Control at DESNZ, no one sees the constraint costs, grid bottlenecks and reform of National Pricing trade-offs more clearly. The UK is building a clean power system at a pace not seen since the 1960s, connecting record volumes of wind and solar while transmission, storage and gas all reshape around them.

Chris Stark is Head of UK's Mission for Clean Power, As Head of Mission Control at DESNZ, no one sees the constraint costs, grid bottlenecks and reform of National Pricing trade-offs more clearly. The UK is building a clean power system at a pace not seen since the 1960s, connecting record volumes of wind and solar while transmission, storage and gas all reshape around them. Constraint costs have hit £1.7 billion, gas is being squeezed off the system, and the government has just rewritten the rules of the wholesale market.Chris joins Ed Porter to break down what Mission Control is actually delivering, where flexibility and storage fit into the 2030 plan, and what Reformed National Pricing means for investors, generators and consumers.They cover:Why building UK transmission lines takes 8-10 years — and why bringing two projects forward by a year is worth £4bn to consumers.Why the UK chose to build the grid and the generation simultaneously, and the risks that creates.Why the strategic spatial energy plan is the biggest energy decision coming in the next 12 months and how it sets up a "build it once" network for the future.The reform of National Pricing decision, what the wholesale CfD means in practice and how electricity is being de-linked from gas.Why flexibility is the "forgotten third child" of the energy transition and how dunkelflaute, long-duration storage and household batteries fit into the 2030s system.Chris's contrarian take on carbon pricing - why he thinks the Treasury's decision to remove the Carbon Price Support from gas signals carbon pricing is "coming down the list of things that matters.”Want to model how Clean Power 2030, REMA and the wholesale CFD reshape GB power prices?

In April, the crew of Artemis II got an unprecedented tour of the far side of the moon, and they brought back a proverbial shoebox full of pictures. Lunar scientist Kelsey Young stayed on Earth, and helped guide the astronauts through their photo shoots from Mission Control. Young talks with Host Flora Lichtman about how the science team chose their shot list, how to lead distant astronauts in their scientific observations, and what researchers are learning from the images and in-the-moment descriptions captured by the Artemis II crew. Guest: Dr. Kelsey Young is the Artemis science flight operations lead for NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

What if your child's long, winding stories are not a distraction from learning, but the very foundation of it?In this episode, we explore the art of narration: the natural ability children have to tell what they notice, remember, imagine, and understand. Inspired by Charlotte Mason and the astronauts of Artemis 2, we look at how vivid description, precise vocabulary, metaphor, and careful listening help kids turn experience into language.We also talk about oral narration, written narration, jot-it-down practices, observation, public speaking, and why parents can become a child's own Mission Control.Listen in, and let's learn how to say: Copy kid joy!Resources:Learn more about Brave Writer's Worldbuilding class and other enthusiasm-sparking online classes!Explore NASA's “Observe the Moon Like an Astronaut” activityFind our favorite readalouds and nonfiction in the Brave Writer Book ShopBrave Writer class registration is open!

The season’s second half starts with a gun to someone’s head and complete chaos in Mission Control. Dev and Aleida feel trapped, but Dev’s got some weird ideas about security. Our favorite new Space Marine reveals her amazing lineage. Boyd and Fred finally have that heart-to-heart. And who does Irinia really work for, and is it just herself? Let’s see how long we can all survive waiting to find out what happens next. Lock the doors. Dan Moren and Jason Snell.
The voice in NASA's mission control is the CAPCOM, or capsule communicator, often referred to as Houston by the crew.

Where is Jesus right now, and why does that matter for your life today? In Week 2 of our Lift Off series, Mission Control, Pastor Ron Merrell walks through the ascension of Jesus to reveal what Christ is doing right now and why His reign, His intercession, and His Spirit change everything for believers today. Through Luke 24:50-53, Acts 1:8-9, Hebrews 1:3, Romans 8:33-34, John 14:16-18, and Matthew 28:19-20, this sermon shows that the ascension was not Jesus leaving us behind. It was Jesus taking His place as reigning King, advocating High Priest, and the One who sends the Holy Spirit to empower His church. This message reminds us that we are not abandoned in our circumstances, our failures do not remove us from His grace, and we are not left to figure life out on our own strength. Jesus reigns with authority, intercedes for believers, and gives the Holy Spirit so we can live faithfully and join Him in His mission. If you have ever felt like you need to control everything, be perfect, or be stronger than you really are, this sermon points you back to the grace of Jesus and the constant help of His presence.

Vært Henrik Heide Medvirkende Thomas Djursing, journalist Ingeniøren I denne uges Transformator I otte minutter havde alle i Mission Control siddet og ventet på at høre netop de fire ord fra mission specialist Christina Koch, mens hun med de tre øvrige astronauter fra Artemis 2-missionen drønede gennem atmosfæren med 40.000 km/t i en rumkapsel, hvor ydersiden var lige så varm som solens overflade. Efter 10 dages flyby-mission omkring Månen ramte de således Stillehavet 10. april i år, uskadte og rige på erfaringer. Men det betyder ikke, at selve turen var uden problemer. Mange talte om toilettet, der i begyndelsen ikke ville fungere, fordi rørene frøs til. Men der var andre udfordringer undervejs, som vi gennemgår i denne uges Transformator. Ventiler, der ikke holdt tæt og lukkede helium ind i kabinen. Og så var der hele diskussionen om varmeskjoldet, der tidligere havde vist sig at være usikkert. Vi analyserer på det, Nasa fortalt indtil nu. Og samlet set kan man vist plædere for, at Nasa kan sætte sig tilbage med armene over kors og sige: »Med en stribe rettelser efter den her tur, er vi klar til at flyve til Månen og tilbage.« Der mangler bare noget.
On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, let us talk about the recent feat of Humanity with the Artemis 2 and the real value that people are missing. On April 10th, 2026, a capsule named Integrity fell from the sky at 25,000 miles per hour, glowed like a small sun as it tore through the atmosphere, and parachuted into the Pacific Ocean forty miles off the coast of San Diego. Four human beings had just completed the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972. The headlines called it historic. Pundits celebrated the engineering marvel. Politicians took their victory laps. And almost everyone missed the real point. The obvious value of Artemis 2 is not the complete story. Yes, it broke records. Yes, the crew flew around the far side of the moon and came home alive. But beneath all of that, something far more powerful was happening in the hearts and minds of people watching from baseball stadiums, living rooms, and classrooms all over the world. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. What the Headlines Got Wrong about the Artemis 2 The media celebrated Artemis 2 as a technological achievement, and rightfully so. Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hanson flew further from Earth than any humans in more than fifty years. Mission Control called the splashdown a perfect bullseye. These are extraordinary, legendary facts worth celebrating. But facts alone are not the whole story. The real payload of Artemis 2 was not the data collected on the heat shield or the life support systems. The real payload was belief. Specifically, the belief that impossible things can be done. And that belief does not live in a press release or a technical report. It lives inside every person who watched that capsule come home. The Ten Year Old Who Watched the Sky Tear Open Somewhere out there, a ten year old watched the Space Launch System ignite 8.8 million pounds of thrust and push four human beings toward the moon. That child felt it in their chest, not metaphorically but physically, the way you feel a bass drum at a loud concert. They watched images come back from deep space. They saw the actual moon, airless and ancient, filling the windows of that capsule. They watched a group hug from inside a spacecraft orbiting a place no human had seen up close since before their parents were born. Something happened in that child that no algorithm can manufacture and no curriculum can plan. They saw themselves up there, not as a fantasy but as a possibility. That transmission, the one that says you can do something legendary, does not expire. It sits in the deepest part of who they are and waits for the moment they are standing in front of their own impossible. Why Human Collaboration Is the Real Miracle Artemis 2 did not happen because of one genius. That story is fiction. It happened because thousands of people got extraordinarily good at their specific piece of the puzzle and trusted everyone else to do the same. Engineers, scientists, mathematicians, Navy divers, mission controllers, and countless others pointed themselves at the same impossible target and hit a bullseye from 240,000 miles away. This is what human beings can do when they decide to truly collaborate across disciplines, institutions, and decades. Artemis 2 is a love letter to that kind of collaboration. And right now, in a moment when cynicism is loud and the news is heavy, this mission is a powerful reminder that we still know how to do legendary things together. We should not let anyone reframe it as just another test flight or just a loop around the moon. It is proof that when humans collaborate to create abundance rather than fight over scarcity, nothing is impossible.

Send us Fan MailThe most frightening part of a space flight crisis is how fast it rewrites reality. One minute the plan is a routine landing and a little live education for viewers. The next, you're choosing words that millions will remember forever.We sit down with James Hartsfield, a veteran NASA communications leader from Johnson Space Center, to talk about what it really means to be the voice of Mission Control during space flights. With Artemis II fresh in everyone's mind, James explains how NASA crisis communications is built on preparation: simulation after simulation, deep technical study of spacecraft systems, and a relentless focus on being confident without ever getting comfortable. If you care about crisis management, media relations, and risk communication under extreme time pressure, this story delivers hard-earned lessons you can apply anywhere.Then we go to the space shuttle Columbia incident. James was on the PAO desk during the Columbia re-entry in 2003, and he walks us through the moment-by-moment shift from “nominal” operations to missing data, confusing signals, and the moment Mission Control understood that the shuttle had been lost. We also unpack why NASA's contingency plan centers on a single trusted voice, how real-time messaging protects investigation integrity, and why public safety communication becomes the priority when debris and hazardous materials are involved.Subscribe for part two, share this with a leader who has to communicate under pressure, and leave a review so more people can find the show. James Hartsfield can be reached via email at hartshfield@gmail.com.We'd love to hear from you. Email the show at Tom@leadinginacrisis.com.
Show Notes 0:00: With a LOT of Winter anime shows to discuss, Justin and Helen delve right into the news of the past few weeks, starting with…something weird! But also something very bad, as a manga based off a light novel series has been suspended because the artist decided to plagiarize, and it was egregious enough that the editorial department had to put out a statement about it. 2:32: Aniplex and Crunchyroll’s new anime production venture, HAYATE Inc, has acquired studio Lay-duce; Kageki Shojo!! author Kumiko Saiki was injured at a music festival she went to a few weeks ago, and we’re all hoping she’s ok, as the injuries could be serious (diagnosed with a sprained neck, getting a CT scan to check if her brain is bleeding) 7:09: George Morikawa will be on break due to his hospitalization a few weeks ago, so no Hajime no Ippo for a while; Tawawa on Monday will be on a two-month break and see a return to Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine May 25. 7:51: The two hosts discuss the passing of manga creator Rakko due to heart failure, and the circumstances as well. Licenses 9:51: Yen Press has launched a new imprint: Avocado House! (Both hosts wonder how they came up with it). Appears they’ll be having strictly international novels for this imprint (to give them options + have a clear delineation from Yen On), and they’ve launched with the following works: Keigo Higashino's Laplace’s Witch Yūki Shasendō's Sickness unto Love Gyatei Murasaki's 1,000 Words Left to Live Aya Saitō's The Curse Called Mother, the Prison Called Daughter Haeyeon Jeong's The Place of the Flamingo Yen Press also had some announcements at their Sakuracon panel: Ryoko Kui’s The Dragon School Is Atop the Mountain Natsuki Takaya’s In Such a Small World Neruko Nichinichi’s Non and Akari Futa Kimura’s Fate Rewinder: All Great Feats Require Time Hikaru Sakurai, Tsuta Suzuki, & TYPE-MOON’s Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Sky Silver 21g & Tegekiken’s Elden Ring: Become Lord Mio Tatsumoto’s Meiji-Era Master-and-Servant Tungsten Pieta’s How to Keep a Human 14:18: After their April Fools’ Wonderful Wednesday event, Seven Seas made official announcements this time: Yoichi Sayonaka & Ryuta Yanagi's Gear × Magic: Reincarnated as an Engineer, I’ll Save the Villainous Princess (Airship) Ryūto & Heiro's The Faceless Mercenary Wants to Settle Down: Homestead at the Edge of the Galaxy (Airship, digital only) Yū Omiya, Yōhei Kazawa, & Ale's My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, and Now My Flirty Underclassman Won't Leave Me Alone manga Indosō, Yasuumi's Building a Monster Girl Harem with Forbidden Science (Ghost Ship) Yog Akase's Nono’s Phantom Shop 15:34: Dark Horse took the time to have a manga licensing event themselves, and here’s what they’ll be releasing this year: Rin Suzukawa’s Asobi Asobase Kenji Tsuruta’s Forget-me-not Kouji Mori’s Suicide Island Hiromasa Okujima’s Babanba Banban Vampire 17:00: A few more Manga Mavericks titles will be arriving this year; Alien Books will also have a couple titles coming this Fall season; We’ll have an audiobook version of The Apothecary Diaries sometime this year, but will it involve the English voice of Maomao? We shall soon see! 21:31: And finally, while not quite licenses, the two hosts talk about the now updated Bookwalker service, which both (especially Helen) tested as this episode was recording. She found some concerns. Justin also had concerns, but he had them before the podcast episode though! Streaming News 29:03: Not a bunch of streaming news this time, but the hosts had to note how awkward this streaming business can be see — see Ichijōma Mankitsu Gurashi!, which can be seen in a couple places…that also includes Rakuten VIKI. Rakuten VIKI? The drama service? Main Topic: Winter 2026 Final Impressions 31:54: Justin and Helen spend a bunch of time talking about what was ultimately a very strong Winter anime season. There were still lowlights (Roll Over and Die! [43:00] being one that needed a much better fate), but overall there was lots to be impressed by (Fate/Strange Fake, You and I Are Polar Opposites S1, Sentenced to be a Hero, Tamon’s B-Side to name a few). …Butttttt Journal with Witch (32:04) was clearly the best anime of the winter season. Did the hosts (especially Justin) do their best to make it seem like it wasn’t (1:42:12)? You can guess the answer is no! Weird News 1:58:20: There is joy in seeing a work you like get animated and then be either a massive success or moderately successful enough to get multiple sequels. But we live in a world where joy can be fleeting. And for Ascendance of a Bookworm and generative A.I. to be in the same sentence is not a fate you’d want to wish for most things! 2:05:58: Good ole’ mistranslation strikes again, as somehow a collaboration announcement involving Fate/Grand Order and Witch of the Holy Night…involves Madoka Magica? Thanks Grok! 2:07:07: Justin and Helen discuss Netflix, after repeated memes and coordinated attacks on all of their socials by JoJo fans, finally revealed a schedule for Steel Ball Run, which should slow things down…(probably not!); it was actually discussed in the Winter Final impressions section, but Justin had to also shout it here — if you call yourself a final season, that means final! Not an extra arc announced since it basically means it’s not a final season! 2:10:16: Generally speaking, for a franchise to get their work concluded in anime form is very special, so congratulations to the Date A Live franchise as it seems like the next anime project will presumably wrap the series up. But it’s now going to go onto its fifth studio in Fugaku, which is a lot of effort to get this series completed in anime form! 2:12:15: There’s a plan the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has involving anime, manga, and games and how the overseas market will play a role in it — both hosts say good luck; a surprising error occurred on the Japanese digital side that stated DANDADAN would go on break for a month, but the editor announced it was a misprint. 2:13:55: Cute things are happening, and they involved Sailor Moon! First with Artemis II (yes, the one that just went into space) and Sailor Moon’s Artemis being spotted at the CAPCOM desk in Mission Control, and then with Hunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi and Naoko Takeuchi combining for a drawing, which also has Artemis and also Kurapika and Sailor Mars in one image.

Follow Up 00:45 Ground control to Microsoft: Artemis 2 astronauts deal with Outlook hiccup in deep space Artemis 2 astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft encountered a common Outlook configuration issue on their first day in space, requiring remote IT support from Mission Control to resolve it by reloading the commander’s files. NASA uses commercial off-the-shelf software like Microsoft Outlook for crew scheduling and personal communications, while keeping primary flight systems on separate radiation-hardened hardware, illustrating a practical separation of concerns in mission-critical environments. The Outlook issue stemmed from the app having configuration problems when no direct network connection is available, which the flight director noted is not uncommon, raising
Today on America in the MorningTrump's Iran Threat The clock is ticking for the Iranian regime in power to re-open the Strait of Hormuz or risk having the United States military bomb power plants and bridges inside the country. John Stolnis has more on the President's threats to Iran, and discussions about the war and the latest negotiations from Washington. NASA Makes History History was made over 250 thousand miles away from the earth as four astronauts reestablished contact with Mission Control after they flew behind the moon. Correspondent Julie Walker reports Artemis II took a trip around the moon after surpassing Apollo 13's distance record. Georgia Special Election Republican Clay Fuller, a former district attorney, and Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired Army officer, emerged as the top two contenders from a crowded special election March 10, which led to today's runoff election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Iowa Law Upheld Appeals court rulings mean Iowa's book ban and other restrictions aimed toward age-appropriate gender and sexuality instruction can take effect. Jennifer King reports. Latest On Iran War Saying their entire country could be taken out in one night, President Trump held a news conference Monday to say that by 8 o'clock eastern time tonight, if Iran does not accept the United States ceasefire deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, he will order strikes on Iran's bridges and power plants, saying in a statement that the Iranian people are willing to suffer if it means they will get their freedom. Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports. Praise For Airman's Recovery A key highlight of the president's news conference at the White House Monday was the success of a daring mission carried out by both the American military and CIA to rescue an airman and pilot who bailed out of his F-15 fighter jet after it was hit by Iranian fire.

NASA photo art002e009057, 4 April 2026 Published 6 April 2026 e549 with Andy, Michael and Michael – boldly go into a deep set of space discussions featuring Artemis II, ways to keep track of the historic flight, COTS software and hardware aboard the spacecraft, Bernie Sanders conversation with Claude, TU Wien's mini QR code and a whole lot more! Andy, Michael and Michael boldly go into a deep set of space discussions focusing on the launch of Artemis II. Mission Control starts off with the Artemis II Tracker built by Jakob Rosin for Jakob Rosin, and as he says, every other space nerd who stayed up for launch night. The tracker is a fantastic assembly of data related to the mission, and is well worth bookmarking to keep up to speed on the progress of the astronauts as they approach the Moon and make their return journey to Earth. Andy, Michael and Michael take a look at an article describing how COTS (commercial, off the shelf) technology are used in space missions, and the steps needed to ensure such technologies are appropriate for the mission. It is no surprise that iPhone use aboard Artemis II caught the co-hosts' attention, and after recording the episode, they found even more insight on how the iPhone 17 Pro Max was cleared for use. Another COTS technology used aboard the spacecraft was email – and also needed some glitches to be resolved. Other interesting stories came from the Gizmodo article, such as the pre-launch card game which continues until the mission commander loses, and the challenges with the Universal Waste Management System that were initially resolved in Earth orbit, through another issue surfaced later in the voyage with the vent line. At time of this writing, all systems to go with the Universal Waste Management System were rated as ‘go'. The Moon plush named Rise, which acts as a zero gravity indicator, was designed by a second grader named Lucas Ye. In the non-space portion of the episode, the team discusses browsergate, Bernie Sanders' conversation with Claude and a mini QR code from the TU Wein that could help store up to 2TB of data on an A4 sized page! Wrapping up the episode, Andy shares his contact information through his aggregation site of andypiper.me Do you think that the orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro Max matched the uniform color of the Artemis crew?

SIMON is downright giddy over the Artemis II mission and is especially excited for tonight's never-before-seen photos that will be taken from 'the dark side of the moon' when the crew orbits the other side, where no human eye has ever seen. CLAY "ASTROCLAY" ANDERSON, tells us what to expect, what they hope to see and how important those 40 minutes of no radio communication with Mission Control will be.
Today is NASA's 'Moon Day'! CLAY "ASTROCLAY" ANDERSON, tells SIMON what to expect when Artemis II loses radio communication with Mission Control for 40 minutes and what we might expect to see from the photos of the 'dark side of the moon' tonight. We also cover more of today's White House press conference with more details of this past weekend's heroic combat rescue mission and later, the new boss joins us to talk a little NCAA basketball.
OpenAI heeft de tech-talkshow TBPN overgenomen, een dagelijks liveprogramma over de techindustrie dat populair is onder invloedrijke figuren in Silicon Valley. De overname werd aangekondigd door Fidji Simo, CEO of AGI Deployment bij OpenAI, met als doel een constructief publiek debat over AI te faciliteren. Stijn Goossens bespreekt het in deze Tech Update. TBPN, voluit Technology Business Programming Network, is een online talkshow die sinds maart 2025 dagelijks drie uur lang live uitzendt op YouTube, X en LinkedIn. De show wordt gemaakt door elf mensen onder leiding van hosts John Coogan en Jordi Hays. Met gemiddeld 70.000 views per aflevering en 58.000 abonnees op YouTube is de show niet massaal groot, maar trekt wel regelmatig topnamen uit de techwereld, zoals Mark Zuckerberg, Satya Nadella en Sam Altman. Het bedrijf draaide in 2025 circa 5 miljoen dollar aan advertentie-omzet en verwacht in 2026 meer dan 30 miljoen dollar te halen. Volgens een interne memo van Fidji Simo is de overname ingegeven door de overtuiging dat het standaard communicatiehandboek niet werkt voor een bedrijf als OpenAI. Het doel: ruimte creëren voor een constructief gesprek over de maatschappelijke impact van AI. TBPN valt voortaan onder de Strategy-organisatie van OpenAI en rapporteert aan chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane. Hoeveel OpenAI voor de overname heeft betaald, is niet bekendgemaakt. De advertentieactiviteiten van TBPN worden onder de nieuwe structuur afgebouwd. De overname roept vragen op over onafhankelijkheid. OpenAI benadrukt dat TBPN zijn eigen programmering, gastenselectie en redactionele beslissingen behoudt. Maar nu het bedrijf eigendom is van een van de grootste spelers in de AI-industrie, en de advertentie-inkomsten wegvallen, is de vraag of prominente gasten bereid blijven aan te schuiven en of de kritische toon stand houdt. Verder in deze Tech Update Astronauten Artemis 2 konden geen mail openen vanuit de ruimte. De bemanning van de maanmissie bleek twee niet-werkende Outlook-apps op hun tablet te hebben staan. Mission Control in Houston loste het probleem op afstand op, al blijft onduidelijk of de mailapp volledig operationeel wordt tijdens de missie.

President Trump told Americans Wednesday in a prime-time address that the Iran war will "end soon." CBS News chief Washington analyst Robert Costa breaks down the president's remarks and what those close to Mr. Trump are saying. The mission commander of Artemis II, Reid Wiseman, said it would be a "crazy first day" and "it's 24 hours of intense work" as the lunar mission gets underway. Mark Strassmann looks at the critical decisions being made and what's next. For the rest of Artemis II's journey following its liftoff on Wednesday, the team at Mission Control in Houston will communicate with the astronauts, send commands and monitor the flight. Kris Van Cleave explains how it works. Maui doctor Gerhardt Konig, who is accused of trying to kill his wife while on a birthday hike last year, testified Wednesday that his wife, Arielle Konig, was the aggressor. Gerhardt Konig said Arielle Konig almost pushed him "over the edge" of a cliff - contradicting the testimonies of his wife and son. Lilia Luciano reports. In 1974, 17-year old Laura Ann Aime went missing after attending a Halloween party. Her body was found a month later on the side of a highway. More than 50 years later, advances in DNA helped link her murder to notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.

I sit down with Alex Finn to break down how he sets up Moltbot (formally Clawdbot) as a proactive AI employee he treats like a teammate named Henry. We walk through the core workflow: Henry sends a daily morning brief, researches while Alex sleeps, and ships work as pull requests for review. Alex explains the setup that makes this work; feeding the bot deep personal and business context, then setting clear expectations for proactive behavior. We cover model strategy (Opus as “brain,” Codex as “muscle”), a “Mission Control” task tracker Henry built, hardware options, and the security mindset around prompt injection and account access. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 02:08 – Clawdbot Overview 03:33 – The Morning Brief Workflow 05:01 - Proactive Builds: Trends → Features → Pull Requests 07:27 – The Setup: Context + Expectations For Proactivity 09:38 – The Onboarding Prompt Alex Uses 12:05 – Hunting “Unknown Unknowns” For Real Leverage 12:43 – Using the right Models for cost control 14:18 – Mission Control: A Kanban Tracker Henry Built 17:16 – The future of Human and AI workflow 22:01 – Hardware And Hosting: Cloud vs Local (Mac Mini/Studio) 25:47 – The Productivity Framework 27:10 – The Possible Evolution of Clawdbot 28:53 – Security and Privacy Concerns 33:38 – Closing Thoughts: Tinkering, Opportunity, And Next Steps Key Points I get the most leverage when I treat the agent like a proactive teammate with clear expectations and rich context. Henry delivers compounding value by shipping work for review (pull requests) based on trend monitoring and conversation memory. I separate “brain” and “muscle” by delegating heavy coding to Codex while using Opus for reasoning and direction. I track autonomous work with a dedicated “Mission Control” board so progress stays visible over time. I keep risk contained by controlling environment and account access, especially around email and prompt injection.

When astronauts used to orbit the moon, there was a period of about 45 minutes when they were on the back side of the moon and couldn’t receive any signals from NASA’s Mission Control. Those were the longest 45 minutes of the mission! Well, believers often go through periods of disconnection from the wisdom of God’s Word. We’re without that supernatural power and direction.
