Chris O'Connor says he lived through three 20-and-back programs connected to the U.S. military and a secret United Nations space program.In this conversation with Dr. Michael Salla, Chris shares memories from his book, Man of Mimas, including being age-progressed as a child, serving aboard classified spacecraft, transferring consciousness between cloned bodies, and spending decades on Mimas, one of Saturn's moons.He also describes encounters with extraterrestrial civilizations, an Earth embassy representing humans and other planetary beings, secret off-world colonies, telepathic training, memory-removal technology, and negotiations that affected the future of humanity.But beneath the extraordinary details is a surprisingly grounded message. Chris believes disclosure begins with remembering who we are, overcoming fear, and learning to treat one another with greater compassion.This is a remarkable discussion about secret space programs, consciousness, reincarnation, extraterrestrial contact, and humanity's place in a much larger universe.Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

In 1962, the Soviet Union was winning the Space Race. To inspire the nation, President Kennedy announced, “We choose to go to the Moon.” He admitted that this wouldn't be easy, but that we would succeed.President Kennedy was right. Achievement is built on the backbone of hard work. But it's competition that spurs us to even greater heights of progress. That's why it's unfortunate that today's socialistic society tells parents that competition harms a boy's self-esteem when they lose.Even though losing isn't fun, it's by trudging through the valleys of loss that we can then enjoy the mountaintops of victory. By inspiring your son to conquer obstacles, he'll develop the knowledge, skills, and fortitude to succeed in life.To learn more about growing boys into godly men, download the free ebook Raising Godly Boys: A Proven Process at Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
The Blasters & Blades PodcastReclaiming the Lost Space Age: Inside John E. Siers' Lunar Free State SeriesWhat if humanity never gave up on the dream of the Moon? Inspired by the legacy of Apollo 11 and classic hard science fiction giants like Robert A. Heinlein, author John E. Siers crafted a massive, 12+ book reality where humanity didn't stop in 1972. In this episode, we sit down with Siers to discuss his expansive Lunar Free State universe. We're tracking the journey from the first secret lunar base in The Moon and Beyond to a massive interstellar playground filled with political tension, deep space exploration, and human grit. Tune in as we discuss his 25+ year journey as a writer, how his military background shapes his tactical space combat, and why a self-sustaining lunar civilization remains the ultimate sci-fi frontier. This was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. Join us for a fun show!

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From November 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Throughout history small close approaching space rocks have been a part of our environment. Now, thanks to improved telescopes and cameras, asteroid hunters are routinely discovering these small asteroids as they pass closer than the Moon is to us. Since these tiny asteroids are only bright enough to detect for a few days out of their long, many month duration paths about the Sun, astronomers have had difficulty in determining how many of these small space rocks may exist in near Earth space. This effort received more emphasis when a house sized space rock exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013 releasing about 10 times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. - Jupiter has been observed throughout human history and is so bright that you can even spot it under the artificial light dome of one of our cities. Even so it is less than 40 years ago that we were first able to view Jupiter in detail as the Voyagers streaked by it. Jupiter contains more than twice the mass of all of the other planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets in our solar system combined. Eons ago, our solar systems very own giant planet, Jupiter, appears to have cleared out the inner solar system leaving enough rocky debris to form Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

There’s just one place to catch a wave outside Earth: Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. It’s the only other world in the solar system with bodies of liquid on its surface. And the waves there could reach heights of 10 feet. But future surfers will need to dress carefully; the surface temperature is almost 300 degrees below zero. Titan is half-again the size of Earth’s moon, and it has a dense atmosphere. Rain fills its lakes and seas with liquid methane, ethane, and nitrogen. The largest sea covers about 200,000 square miles – twice the area of all the Great Lakes combined. It could be several hundred feet deep. The Cassini spacecraft used radar to measure Titan’s ponds. It saw waves of no more than an inch or so high. But a recent study says the waves could get a lot bigger. Based on 20 years of observations of waves on Lake Superior, scientists built a computer model of how waves might work on other worlds. The model accounted for gravity, the pressure of the atmosphere, and the properties of the liquid. When the model was applied to Titan, it showed that even gentle breezes could whip up some big waves. But the waves would move more slowly than those on Earth – a slow-motion trip across the sea. Saturn looks like a bright star close to our moon the next couple of mornings. It’ll stand to the left of the Moon at dawn tomorrow, and the lower right of the Moon on Tuesday.

This week we're working with seven Transits, headlined by Venus in Libra and Mercury in Leo.Chiron turns Retrograde in Taurus at 0°52' on Monday and sets the tone for everything that follows: what do we actually value, and how much of what we think we need did we ever really choose for ourselves? The Sun in Leo illuminates what brings us joy, and the Moon in Taurus answers back that it isn't possible. Then Venus moves into Libra and Mercury moves into Leo, and suddenly we have the words.The question is whether we're willing to say them.(03:42) Chiron Retrograde in Taurus 00°52' – Monday, August 3April 10 – Chiron Enters its Retrograde Shadow in Aries 26°15'August 3 – Chiron Retrograde in Taurus 00°52'January 6 – Chiron Direct in Aries 26°15'April 28 – Chiron Exits its Retrograde Shadow in Taurus 00°52'(23:35) The Sun in Leo Square the Moon in Taurus 13°40' at 7:22 PM PDT on Wednesday, August 5.(28:24) The Sun in Leo Trine Saturn Retrograde in Aries 14° – August 4 – 8 (Tuesday – Saturday) – Thursday, August 6.(36:44) Venus in Libra – August 6 – September 10, 2026.Dates that Venus transited through Libra previously:October 13 – November 6, 2025August 29 – September 22, 2024November 8 – December 4, 2023September 29 – October 23, 2022August 15 – September 10, 2021(50:30) Mercury Exits its Retrograde Shadow in Cancer 26°15' – Thursday, August 6June 12 – Mercury Enters its Retrograde Shadow in Cancer 16°18'June 29 – Mercury Retrograde in Cancer 26°15'July 23 – Mercury Direct in Cancer 16°18'August 6 – Mercury Exits its Retrograde Shadow in Cancer 26°15'(52:36) Mercury in Leo – August 9 – 25, 2026Previous times Mercury has transited through Leo.June 26 – September 2, 2025July 2 – 25, 2024 and August 14 – September 8, 2024July 10 – 29, 2023July 19 – August 3, 2022July 27 – August 11, 2021(1:02:48) Mercury in Leo Square Chiron Retrograde in Taurus 00° – August 9 – 10 (Sunday – Monday) – Sunday, August 9.Check out my conversation with on A Little Bit of Woo-Woo with Jill K ThomasCheck out my latest conversation with 5th Generation Psychic, Dallisa Hocking.Join my Substackhttps://www.theweeklytransit.com/

The 1990s were one of the greatest decades in the history of speculative fiction—but which debut novels have stood the test of time?In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim explores the entire decade, selecting one fantasy debut, one science fiction debut, and one horror debut for every year from 1990 through 1999. These are the books that introduced some of the biggest names in the genres, launched beloved series, won major awards, and, in some cases, changed fantasy, science fiction, and horror forever.Every selection follows one strict rule: it had to be the author's very first published novel. That means several famous books didn't qualify, while a number of remarkable—and often overlooked—debuts earned their place on the list.Whether you're searching for your next great read, love discovering hidden gems, or simply enjoy looking back at one of the most influential decades in speculative fiction, this episode has something for every fan.Featured authors include:• Diana Gabaldon• Stephen Baxter• Poppy Z. Brite• Terry Goodkind• Tananarive Due• J. K. RowlingNalo HopkinsonMartha Wells• John Connolly…and many more!
Join Talk Cosmos as we explore the 20° Leo Solar Eclipse occurring a few weeks ahead on August 12. To give each of these powerful celestial markers sufficient attention, we will cover the August 12 Solar Eclipse in this episode and dive into the August 27 Pisces Lunar Eclipse later in the month.Nodal Dynamics & Critical DegreesThe Lunar Nodes move in reverse (clockwise around the zodiac) and have just entered the Aquarius North Node and Leo South Node. This New Moon in Leo comes into orb of a conjunction with the Leo South Node, marking the second solar eclipse of the year and the first under this new nodal axis.Furthermore, the nodes will hold at the critical 29th degree for over two months (from July 26 through October 9). This intense degree echoes the remaining residue of the previous Pisces-Virgo nodal cycle, which permeates through this pair of upcoming eclipses—the Solar Eclipse in Leo and the Lunar Eclipse tipping into Pisces.Navigating the EnergiesWe may feel a bit cautious yet deeply driven to realize our dreams and visions. Meanwhile, our inner life spark thrives on activating and nourishing personal relationships. What we value—and seek to align emotionally with our past—seems to evolve through immediate experience. Ultimately, we are deeply transmuting the foundational strategies and wisdom behind our core desires.Taking time to listen to our heart's internal direction recalibrates how we support our life path. Leo represents heart-centered leadership. By refining subtle, negatively intentional motives—such as unexamined anger or vengeance—we clear the path for fulfilling, authentic Leo leadership. Life invites us to use our creative gifts for the collective good, showing us where to release the ego's subtle demands for entitlement or arrogance so we can step fully into updated leadership roles within our communities. The Essence of the LuminaryAs our most personal luminary, the Moon regulates how the past flows into the present. It allows us to experience emotions, habits, and instinctual feelings, offering energetic input that helps piece together new meaning. In doing so, it supports our ongoing life story as we grow, heal, and evolve in mind, body, heart, and spirit.The ConversationJoining Sue Rose Minahan from Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawai'i, will be Talk Cosmos member Amanda Pierce of Seattle, Washington.Connect with inspiration!

On November 22, 1963, a dark and sudden tragedy struck America that changed history forever. This week on History Ignited, Amy, Dave, Andrew, and Caroline step back into the 1960s to look at the life, presidency, and sudden loss of John F. Kennedy—the 35th President of the United States—and why Billy Joel included "JFK Blown Away" in We Didn't Start the Fire.Despite his short time in office, President Kennedy inspired millions with his vision for space exploration, his call for public service, and his fight for civil rights. While the events of that day in Dallas brought deep sorrow, JFK's hopeful legacy lived on through his family, his nation, and the historic moments that followed.In this episode, we discuss:Life as the 35th President: From his famous "Ask not what your country can do for you" speech to launching the race to the Moon.The Day in Dallas: A sensitive, child-friendly look at the tragic afternoon at Dealey Plaza and how news traveled before the internet age.A Nation United in Hope: How Americans honored JFK's memory and carried his vision for the future forward.Join us for kid-friendly history, engaging insights, and a look at how love and memory can outshine even the darkest moments in history!
August 2 - 8: SET A COURSEAugust begins with several important planetary shifts that signal a change in direction. Venus moved to Virgo on July 31, feeling the slippery pressure of retrograde Saturn's aspect. Mars leaves steady Taurus for the quick-moving environment of Gemini on Sunday, Mercury returns to Cancer on Wednesday after completing his retrograde work in Gemini, and Rahu and Ketu resume retrograde motion, reminding us that life's path is rarely a straight line. The Moon completes its journey through Pisces early in the week, crossing the final gandanta point before emerging into Aries, suggesting that lingering endings are giving way to fresh beginnings.Rather than rushing ahead, this week asks us to transition with intention. The first half favors wrapping up loose ends, clearing space, and preparing the ground before momentum builds. By midweek the atmosphere becomes noticeably lighter, encouraging new initiatives, creative work, conversations, and exploration. Mars in Gemini brings curiosity and movement, while Mercury's return to Cancer reconnects thought with intuition. As the week closes, the Moon joins Mars in Gemini, inviting us to learn, wander, connect, and follow the ideas that spark genuine excitement.Daily Keywords:Sunday Aug 2: DEEP CLEANMonday Aug 3: WRAP IT UPTuesday Aug 4: HOIST THE SAILSWednesday Aug 5: INITIATE SEQUENCEThursday Aug 6: LET IT RISEFriday Aug 7: CREATE & COMPLETESaturday Aug 8: WANDER INHello!

Freak Family Favorites: Bat People, Moon Hoaxes, and Museums That Shouldn't Exist This Freak Family Favorites episode comes straight from the recommendations of the Freak Family, and it's packed with the kind of stories that remind us why history is often stranger than fiction. First, Kat unpacks one of the greatest media hoaxes ever printed: The Great Moon Hoax of 1835. Newspapers convinced thousands of readers that a giant telescope had discovered life on the Moon—including winged bat people, intelligent beavers that built villages, strange temples, and an entire lunar civilization. It spread across America and Europe before anyone stopped to ask whether any of it was actually true. Then Jethro takes a tour through some of the world's most bizarre museum exhibits.

Former senior NASA official and space policy expert Mike Gold joins Martin Willis and special co-host, astronomer Marc D'Antonio, for a candid discussion about NASA, UAP and the stigma that continues to discourage serious scientific investigation. Gold explains that NASA's UAP Independent Study Team was never asked to examine historical cases or analyze UAP evidence; instead, it was tasked with determining whether NASA should investigate the subject and which agency resources could be used. He discusses proposals to employ artificial intelligence and machine learning to search NASA's enormous archives, add UAP to NASA's confidential Aviation Safety Reporting System, and independently examine unexplained imagery from the Moon, Mars and space—including the unusual triangular formation photographed during Apollo 17. The conversation also examines allegations of altered or withheld NASA imagery, professional threats faced by academics who merely ask questions about UAP, and why Gold believes stigma creates a national security vulnerability by providing potential cover for adversarial drones. Gold says disclosure should be viewed as a continuing process of releasing and objectively examining data, and he believes increasingly significant material may emerge as the government works through declassification. The discussion concludes with commercial spaceflight, SpaceX, America's competition with China, manufacturing human tissue and pharmaceuticals in microgravity, the future of Mars exploration, and why greater government transparency could help restore public trust. Join us for a thoughtful, science-based conversation that follows the evidence without assuming the answer.SHOW NOTESCONTACT AND SUPPORT

Full Moon in Aquarius: A Unique ViewWhat I really like about Astrology are the clues this unique guidance system provides for daily life pointers, insight, and direction. Aquarius is said to be the sign of Astrology. The recent Full Moon in Aquarius occurred on July 29th at 6 degrees, though the effects will continue to be felt as the Moon energy connects with the Solar Eclipse in Leo around August 12. This is a sensational opportunity to “meet and greet others, and start the process of remembering who you are”. This is a great time to promote social groups and friendly encounters. During this Moon, people are eager to talk and exchange mutually beneficial thoughts and ideas.Saying Yes to Yourself: Remembering Who You areAre you ready and willing to trust that your vision, in some important area of your life, is calling you forward, and wants to be expressed through you? Aquarius is the sign of "Cosmic Consciousness". This means through the faculty of intuition each person has the ability to see and understand the future. The way this deep awareness occurs, is that you have to be willing to say "yes" to the most authentic version of yourself. Remembering who you are from the inside out.Saying yes to yourself means turning from all of the "naysayers" about who and what you are suppose to be or do. This is definitely a tall order, because we have been socialize to belief others outside of ourselves know more or better than we do about who we are. As indicated previously, trusting that you are enough, and acknowledging that how you see things may very well be different, but is no less viable than someone else's view of life.Every chart has its Uranus“Genius Zone” the planet guiding Aquarius. Find the Aquarius area(s) in your chart and draw a circle around the house cusps.What house(s) offers you space for your new vision and purpose through connecting with Aquarius?How do you feel the vital energy that's moving you toward your unique direction, and helping to break free from the mind “chains” .What gift, ability and/or talent are asking to be brought forth?In the sign of the “water-carrier” there's excitement in the air. As an air sign, Aquarius represents collective group awareness, in particular trends, mass movement and major societal changes. One major topic that heads the list of Aquarian concerns are questions of humanitarianism, a massive global dilemma affecting every country in the world. Check out the kinds of subjects that are trending on social media. Aquarius is ruled by the planet of “sudden and often disrupting happenings”, Uranus is also known as the sign of technology, specifically the Internet. Uranus co-ruler/guide with Saturn is currently in Gemini. This is a powerful placement because Gemini is aligned with communication, and Aquarius is connected with technology and revolutionary change. As you look around, the current "buzz" is fixated on AI, and yet the most powerful expression of technology is possessed by every being on the planet. The difficulty is that people have forgotten that we are the power... so the real technological revolution is when people start remembering who we are.In many ways, Aquarius is the messenger that is asking everyone, as part of the collective whole, to consider what she or he is willing to contribute toward a new and more just world vision, which includes all people? This is part of the remembering process that humanity is undergoing. Aquarius is an upfront sign. Its signature is about doing things differently from what has been done in the past. Much of the social, economic, and overall planetary upheaval has to do with the collective group acknowledging what is not viable, and how the “old order” has disavowed the differences and diversity of the branches on the“human tree”. Yes, the human tree. The designation of people by skin color groups, gender status, religious affiliations, socioeconomic worth, lineage, ancestors,nationality, etc, are used to keep from seeing our shared humanity. Seeing these categorizations for what they are, is part of the "remembering process"Where in your life are you experiencing the need to make major changes? At the same time, how and what can you contribute to the group effort to shift the world's energy toward more light, and real positive direction? What do you need personally, to feel comfortable,supported and nurtured in stepping out to share your unique visions and ideas?Aquarius as a fixed sign brings focus and often a single-minded direction to your life. This moon time offers a time of clarity, new ideas and inspiration.From planetary and natural world perspective, this is the “in between, liminal” space. Aquarius is the sign of the "Seer".This is a time that feels like a need to hide away, yet it can be truly empowering if you accept your “Aquarian Calling” and claim your special place in life. In essence, we each have to be willing to embrace self-love through “being totally enough” This Full Moon is shining on you, and your unique view. Is there something that you've been toying with for awhile? It's time to go for it ! Perhaps people around you may look at you with raised eyebrows, but there are others who are ready for the changes that you are offering, and are in full support of your vision(s)! Even though there are many topics and subjects that are weighty, and perplexing, connecting with others in a fun and enjoyable way makes everything easier. The summer Sun is sitting in Leo with support from Jupiter also in Leo, which in astrological terms is in the opposing position to Aquarius. Even though these signs are sitting opposite one another, I actually see them working together as complements. Leo calls for being in the spotlight of your own radiant self-knowing. One way to use this astrological partnering is for social connection and to have fun, where people can communicate and enjoy each other's company. When we play together, we create more “heart space”. With more “heart vision”, we can hear one another better, and see our way with more understanding, clarity, and wisdom. Embrace Your Freedom that's Waiting for You. Let's have an Astrology Conversation. I look forward to seeing you.

In an experiment that will involve all of the residents of planet Earth SpaceX has asked the FCC for permission to launch 1 million satellites into low Earth orbit to create a solar powered data center. Since the agriculture which produces our food is very sensitive to weather and climate it is important to conduct serious research about the effect of a mega constellation of satellites before allowing such a project to produce changes to the environment we don't understand.

Revenue Rocket's Mike Harvath, Ryan Barnett, and Matt Lockhart break down the real reasons founders delay an exit, and why the safest-feeling choice is often the most expensive. This episode of Shoot the Moon covers the “one more year” trap, founder dependency, succession planning, derisking customer concentration and contracts, and why knowing your valuation is the first move in IT services M&A. If you run an MSP, MSSP, cloud, dev, or VAR business, this is the timing conversation to have before the market decides for you. CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold open and welcome 1:56 Why founders delay a sale (the “one more year” trap) 5:46 Run it forever, but stay ready to sell 6:26 Owner dependency and building a machine 12:27 What succession planning really looks like 16:07 Enjoy what you have built vs. the window to sell 21:30 De-risking: customer concentration and contracts 22:23 Know your number: the case for annual valuations 24:40 One move to make this week 28:45 Closing thoughts: have a plan KEY TAKEAWAYS ● Waiting one more year can lower value, not just raise it. You carry 100% of the downside. ● Buyers pay for a business that runs without you. Build the bench and reduce founder dependency. ● Real succession planning is documented and executable, not a someday idea. ● De-risk before you go to market: diversify clients, fix contract assignability, deepen the team. ● Know your number. An annual valuation is good corporate hygiene and a stage gate for timing.

Eta Aquilae is big, bright, and unsteady. Over a bit more than seven days, the star pulses in and out like a beating heart. That causes its brightness to change. How it changes makes the star a good “standard candle” – a type of object that astronomers use to measure the scale of the universe. Eta Aquilae is a Cepheid variable – the first one ever discovered. Such stars brighten and fade in a predictable way. By timing the cycle, astronomers can determine the star’s true brightness. Comparing that to how bright the star looks allows them to calculate the star’s distance. Cepheids are bright enough to see hundreds of millions of light-years away – in galaxies beyond the Milky Way. To go even farther, astronomers rely on another type of standard candle: the exploding stars known as Type Ia supernovas. Like the Cepheids, the way they brighten and fade reveals their true brightness. Some of them appear in galaxies with Cepheids, where we already know their distance. That provides a way to calibrate all of the supernovas, which can be seen from billions of light-years away. Of course, it’s all a little more complicated than that. There are different classes of Cepheids, for example. So astronomers have to understand all the details – making sure that a standard candle really is a good distance marker. Eta Aquilae is high above the Moon in early evening, near Altair, its constellation’s brightest star. Script by Damond Benningfield

When astronaut Jim Irwin came to Bend for lunar landing training in the lava rock of Oregon's 'moon country,' he made friends with a local resident — who gave him a sliver of Oregon lava to leave on the moon's surface. And so he did. (Bend, Deschutes County; 1960s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1208c-astronaut-left-oregon-lava-on-moon.html)
If you are counting down the days until school starts, feeling short-tempered and exhausted, and then feeling guilty on top of it, you are experiencing end of summer burnout, and you are not alone. In this episode, Lisa Candera explains where autism mom burnout actually comes from and why the constant role of being your household's cruise director and emotional regulator drains your tank. She offers practical, low-effort ways to refill that tank and close out the summer without the pressure to make it perfect.In this episode, you'll learn:You will learn why burnout comes from the energy required to run your household nonstop, not simply from the number of things you are juggling as an autism mom.You will learn how taking space, letting other people manage their own relationships and feelings, and refusing to layer guilt on top of your rest can make that rest genuinely restorative.You will learn why dropping the pressure for the end of summer to look a certain way, and choosing simple, easy wins instead, will leave you with more energy heading into the school year.Resources mentioned:Sun, Moon, and Stars Autism Awareness Night at Quassy Amusement and Waterpark in Middlebury, Connecticut, on September 4, 2026 from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

Living the life of your dreams is very hard work.Paul believes much of that hard work comes from being open (and brave) to listen to new and different ideas — things you may never have considered before — then testing them in your own laboratory of daily living to see if they're true and they work for you.Having the courage to explore and refine your life by doing the hard work of letting go of the stuff that isn't working for you and choosing to allow the new in is a recurring theme in this week's Spirit Gym conversation with Erick Godsey, a Master Coach and teacher of myth, science and philosophy.

Covid killed ~1% of the people it infected. Pneumonic plague, untreated, kills nearly 100% within 24 hours. In her new book Biological War: A Scenario, bestselling journalist Annie Jacobsen war-games what happens when an engineered pathogen escapes — drawing on interviews with presidential advisors, secretaries of defense, STRATCOM commanders, epidemiologists, and directors of Operation Warp Speed. We get into gain-of-function, the Soviet bioweapons program, mirror life, AI and bioweapons (including her conversation with Sam Altman), the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter — and why the first 24 hours decide everything.
