STREAMING THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, FEATURING GRANT NEWSHAM, 4-14-20261909 BRUSSELS.Host John Bachelor discusses a wide variety of geopolitical and historical topics, beginning with the unpredictable nature of the Trump administration and its impact on global markets. He highlights the profitability of American corporations like JP Morgan and the success of private space ventures like SpaceX, which he credits to visionary government subsidies from NASA. Transitioning to his personal reading list, Bachelor summarizes narrative historiescovering the secretive religious themes in Vermeer's art, the NKVD's assassination of Leon Trotsky, and the collapse of global trade during the Bronze Age. He is joined by Colonel Grant Newsham, who provides analysis on the U.S. naval blockade of Iran and the strategic challenges of securing the Strait of Hormuz. Together, they critique China's predatory economic model, comparing its subsidized manufacturing surplus and use of forced labor to a modern-day plantation system. Their dialogue concludes by examining how China's lack of corporate profitability and currency manipulation threaten to destabilize international competition.

What happens when two yoga teachers fall down a NASA rabbit hole and can't stop thinking about non-duality, The Overview Effect, and Grandmother Moon? This episode of Yoga-ish — our more personal, less technique-focused podcast — is exactly that kind of conversation.Yoga-ish is where Jason and Andrea talk about their actual lives: what they're reading, watching, thinking about, and how all of it connects (loosely) to yoga, mindfulness, and the work of being a human.We covered so much this week, including:- Artemis II & The Overview Effect — and why astronauts returning from space sound a lot like meditators coming out of deep practice- Christina Koch's transmission from the far side of the moon and what "moon joy" actually means- Our review of Project Hail Mary + what we're reading- Neurodivergent kids, intrinsic motivation, and letting go of the sticker chart- 10 years of Yogaland — and what's coming nextFor more of Andrea's essays and access to free guided meditations, subscribe to her Substack: yogaland.substack.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yogaland.

The Artemis II crew has returned home safely after a historic 10-day journey around the Moon, the first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years. In this episode, we celebrate some of the mission's most extraordinary moments: the record-breaking Flight Day 6 when Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history, a breathtaking solar eclipse observed from lunar orbit, meteorite impact flashes spotted on the lunar surface, and a deeply personal crater dedication that moved the world. But the triumph comes with turbulence. Just days after launch, the White House released a Presidential Budget Request proposing a 47% cut to NASA's science budget — threatening 84 missions and nearly half of NASA's science portfolio. Jack Kiraly, director of government relations at The Planetary Society, and Ari Koeppel, AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow, join host Sarah Al-Ahmed to break down what's at stake and what's being done about it.

Steve believes the U.S. may need to resume military hostilities against Iran before the conflict can be resolved, even as the Strait of Hormuz blockade puts mounting economic pressure on Tehran. He also touched on elements of the original Iran nuclear framework from the Obama era that may resurface in current negotiations under the Trump administration, although not in their entirety. The guys also turned to NASA's Artemis 2 mission, which pivoted its focus to the moon last week, and what that shift means for the future of the U.S. space program.

The escalating feud between President Trump and Pope Leo XIV intensified after Trump posted an AI-generated image on Truth Social depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure. The post came shortly after Trump blasted Pope Leo XIV, calling him “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy” for criticizing U.S. military actions against Iran. Trump later deleted the image, telling reporters, “I thought it was me as a doctor,” and claiming it was meant to depict him as a Red Cross worker. Meanwhile, the U.S. has imposed a military blockade of Iranian ports along the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off Iran's ability to export oil and generate revenue, after weekend peace talks in Pakistan collapsed without a deal. Additionally, Rep. Eric Swalwell is now facing serious legal trouble, the Manhattan District Attorney's office has opened a criminal investigation into sexual assault allegations made by a former staffer, and Swalwell has since announced his resignation from Congress.

Hillary Clinton has been making the rounds on numerous media outlets recently, sparking widespread speculation about a potential 2028 presidential run. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has been weighing a bid for the California governor's seat. Joe Rogan's podcast is being credited by many as a significant factor in President Trump's 2024 election victory, given the wide platform it provided for Trump to reach new audiences. Harvey Weinstein begins his third criminal trial today. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Bill discusses the challenges of operating as an independent media personality when competing against the resources of major broadcast networks. On the Trump-Pope Leo feud, Bill frames it as a clash of two fundamentally different worldviews, Trump's approach being rooted in solving geopolitical problems by force or leverage, while the Pope's perspective is grounded in religious and moral principles. He also weighed in on the AI-generated image controversy, suggesting that Trump depicting himself in a doctor-like or Christ-like role was not a good look politically. As for Hillary Clinton, Bill believes the odds are strong that she is laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign.

Guests Dr. Carolyn Ernst is a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), specializing in the surface evolution of planets, moons, and small bodies. She has contributed to missions across the solar system and has extensive experience in imaging systems. Dr. Ernst helped NASA impact both a comet and an asteroid, serving as instrument scientist for the DRACO imager and a member of the investigation team on the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission. She is currently on the science teams for Europa Clipper, Dragonfly, Hayabusa2, and Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) missions. She is also a member of the European Space Agency's Hera mission team, which will return to the Didymos system for close-range characterization of the asteroids and the outcome of the DART impact. Michelle Chen is a software systems engineer and project manager at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Maryland. Her work centers on developing and integrating advanced technologies for spacecraft and prototype systems. Chen led the SMART Nav team for NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, where their autonomous navigation algorithm enabled the world's first spacecraft impact with an asteroid for planetary defense. Her career spans multisector projects, including the development of advanced prosthetic limbs, optical navigation systems, data acquisition platforms, and missile simulations. Chen's technical expertise includes real-time embedded software, image processing, control systems, and system-level integration. Summary The conversation explores the success and implications of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the first mission designed to test whether a spacecraft could intentionally alter an asteroid's trajectory. Engineers and scientists collaborated to send a kinetic impactor into Dimorphos, a small asteroid orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos, demonstrating planetary defense capabilities. A key innovation was the spacecraft's autonomous navigation system, which guided it during the final approach using onboard imaging from the DRACO camera. Because scientists had never seen Dimorphos up close, engineers relied on extensive simulations to prepare for unknown conditions. The mission exceeded expectations: instead of shortening the asteroid's orbit by 7 seconds, it achieved a 33-second reduction, largely due to unexpected ejecta that amplified the impact force. The discussion highlights how asteroid detection and tracking systems—coordinated by organizations such as the Minor Planet Center and international networks—identify potential threats, refine orbital predictions, and communicate risks. Early detection remains critical, as effective deflection requires years of preparation. Beyond the technical achievement, the guests emphasize interdisciplinary teamwork, where engineers and scientists continuously exchanged insights and made compromises to balance navigation precision with scientific data collection. The mission underscores the importance of experimentation over theoretical modeling alone and serves as a powerful example of how collaborative, cross-disciplinary work can address global challenges while inspiring future generations in STEM. The Essential Point The mission's core insight is that planetary defense is not theoretical—it is achievable—but only through early detection, real-world experimentation, and deep collaboration across scientific and engineering disciplines.

Pope Leo has said he has "no intention to debate" Donald Trump, after the US leader criticised the pontiff's comments about the war in the Middle East. The American born Pope said he had no fear of the Trump administration. He said his message remained one of peace. Also, the US military has reportedly sent a note to seafarers saying that it will enforce a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz that will apply to all vessels whatever flag they are sailing under. The note from the US Central Command says that any ship entering or leaving the blockaded area without authorisation will be subject to interception, diversion and capture. Hungary's incoming prime minister, Peter Magyar, has promised to usher in a new era for the country which he said became the poorest and most corrupt in Europe under his predecessor, Viktor Orban.

Let’s learn about some of the oldest life ever discovered! Further reading: Microbiologists Find Living Microbes in 2-Billion-Year-Old Rock Chart of life extended by nearly 1.5 billion years Show transcript: Back in episode 168 we talked about the longest-lived organisms known, and finished the episode by discussing endoliths. I'll quote from that episode as a refresher. An endolith isn't a particular animal or even a group of related animals. An endolith is an organism that lives inside a rock or other rock-like substance, such as coral. Some are fungi, some lichens, some amoebas, some bacteria, and various other organisms, many of them single-celled and all of them very small if not microscopic. Some live in tiny cracks in a rock, some live in porous rocks that have space between grains of mineral, some bore into the rock. Many are considered extremophiles, living in rocks inside Antarctic permafrost, at the tops of the highest mountains, in the abyssal depths of the oceans, and at least two miles, or 3 km, below the earth's surface. Various endoliths eat different minerals, including potassium, sulfur, and iron. Some endoliths even eat other endoliths. We don't know a whole lot about them, but studies of endoliths found in soil deep beneath the ocean's floor suggest that they grow extremely slowly. Like, from one generation to the next could be as long as 10,000 years, with the oldest endoliths potentially being millions of years old—even as old as the sediment itself, which dates to 100 million years old. That episode was almost five years ago, and in October of 2024 some new information was published. The study mentions the 100-million-year-old limit known so far, where living microorganisms were indeed discovered in geological layers below the ocean floor. But what they found was even older. The scientific team analyzed rock samples from northeastern South Africa, specifically rock that formed when magma cooled below the surface of the earth. It's called the Bushveld Igneous Complex and is very large, very old, and very stable. The team drilled core samples of the rock from 50 feet down, or 15 meters, and cut it into thin slices to examine. To their surprise, they discovered microbial life in the rock's cracks, which were sealed tightly with clay so that nothing should be able to get in or out of the rocks. To be sure the microbes hadn't been introduced during the drilling or preparing process, they used infrared spectroscopy to compare the proteins in the microbes with the proteins caught in the clay. They matched, meaning the microbes had been there as long as the clay had been there, which was basically almost as long as the rocks had been in place. They were also able to verify that yes, the microbes were definitely alive. So, how old are the rocks? TWO BILLION YEARS OLD. Billion with a B! While the individual microbes probably aren't actually that old, the population of microbes has been living in those cracks far within the rock for two billion years. Scientists are excited to learn more about them, because by studying organisms that have been separated from all other life for that long, they can learn about how early life on earth evolved. Even more exciting, at least if you're me, NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars is going to be bringing some rocks back to earth that are about 2 billion years old. Scientists are really excited to see if there is any evidence for microbial life inside the Martian rocks! I know I won't live long enough to see the first macrobial life from another planet, but I really hope I'm alive when we discover the first microbial life. I don't think life is rare on other planets, it's just that the distances are so enormous that getting to another planet and sending information back home is an almost insurmountable problem right now. The closest planets to us are Mars and Venus, and these days Mars just doesn't seem like it would be very habitable for anything but microbes. But microbes can live just about anywhere! Also in 2024, a team from Virginia Tech has put together a chart marking when various life forms started appearing in the fossil record and when they also stopped appearing in the fossil record. Versions of this chart of life have been made before, but they typically only go back to about half a billion years ago, around the time of the Cambrian. Before that, life was much less likely to fossilize, or the rocks containing the fossils have been worn away. The team gathered fossil data from scientists and institutions around the world and compiled it into a chart of life that extends back two billion years. The farther back you look, the less changes there are among the type and differences in species. There's even a huge stretch of time called the boring billion where things really weren't changing much at all, at least not according to the fossil record we have available. It wasn't until the earth's climate became much cooler and then warmed again, between 720 and 635 million years ago, that things really began to change. The team is considering factors that contributed to the stability of the boring billion, and why it all changed so radically. It's a good thing it did from our perspective, since if the boring billion had continued over the next billion years until today, we'd all be single-celled organisms. I wonder if the microbes in those two billion year old rocks even noticed the changes. Probably not. They were in rocks. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

Ryan SinnTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Ryan Sinn. Ryan Sinnott is the bass player for the pop punk band The Distillers, and the founding bass player for the pop punk band Angels & Airwaves. In this episode, we chat about how he came to be a bass player in the first place, and how important it is to him to maintain the structure of the role of a bass player. We talk about the fancy flourishes and fills that some bass players get overly enthusiastic about, and how there can only be one Les Claypool! As Ryan is bound by an NDA, he cannot really discuss his time with Angels & Airwaves; so instead, I tell him about the first time I heard that debut album. It was a magical experience for me and one that I remember to this day. Next, we dive into where I first heard his band The Distillers, and how he came to be part of that project. He does let me play that first song by The Distillers that caught my attention (thank you Ryan). Ryan is a certified audio engineer, and he does explain why he felt the need to go that route, and he gives some less expensive shortcut tips for anyone out there who wants to go to audio engineering school. Lastly, we discuss some of the interesting paydays that come along with songs being selected for video games. The Distillers had a song on the video game Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. Follow Ryan and follow The Distillers everywhere and tell Ryan you heard him on Fascination Street Podcast!

Hoy nos vamos más deep que nunca, pond intended, porque no solo vamos a hablar de cómo la NASA se comunica con astronautas en la Luna, vamos a entender cómo funciona esa comunicación desde cero. O sea, ¿Cómo tú envías un mensaje desde la Tierra, que viaje por el vacío del espacio y llegue clarito a alguien orbitando la Luna? Y más brutal todavía ¿Cómo te contestan? Hoy hablamos de Artemis II, pero también de ondas, señales,luz, radio y esa “magia invisible” que mantiene a la humanidad conectada más allá del planeta.https://www.instagram.com/curiosidacientificapodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/vamosdeviajePRhttps://www.youtube.com/@VamosdeViajePRhttps://dongatosoapco.com/codigo de descuento: Curiosidad

C'est le premier vol habité vers la Lune depuis 1972. Les quatre astronautes de la mission Artemis II, trois Américains et un Canadien, ont passé 10 jours dans l'espace. Ils sont revenus sur la terre ferme dans la nuit du vendredi 10 au samedi 11 avril.Une aventure particulièrement scrutée par les médias du monde entier qui ont raconté le quotidien de l'équipage, filmé 24 heures sur 24. Le but de cette mission : tester les équipements du vaisseau en vue des prochains vols habités prévus par la Nasa, plus seulement pour voler autour de la Lune mais pour s'y poser. L'agence spatiale américaine prévoit le premier pour 2028. Cet épisode de Code source est raconté par Gaël Lombart, journaliste à la rubrique sciences du Parisien.

In this episode of High Theory, Zac Zimmer talks to Kim about Decolonizing the Novum. The novum is a concept developed by Darko Suvin that names the new element of a science fiction or speculative fiction narrative. SF narratives from the Americas that rewrite archival material about colonization and first contact have begun an imaginative project of decolonizing that novum. In Zac's words, the "novum" has been part of our definition of science fiction since Darko Suvin first offered up the concept of part of his critical assessment of SF. This idea of "novelty" is linked to conquest and colonialism through the figure of the New World, i.e. the post-1492 Americas. Thus untangling the relationship between colonialism, novelty, and science fiction must pass through the historical record of the conquest. One way to do this is to focus on SF that deeply engages the archival record of the XVIth century in the Americas: texts and artworks that use speculation to depart from the knowledge that things didn't quite occur the way the dominant paradigms would lead us to believe, and to imagine other futures linked to past moments of historical contingency. In the episode, Zac references an incredible list of writers and theorists, including Edmundo O'Gorman and Walter Benjamin, Saidiya Hartman's “Venus in Two Acts,” You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue, Destrucción de todas las cosas by Hugo Hiriart, and “Decolonization is not a metaphor” by Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang. The transcript lives here as a WordDoc and here as a PDF. Zac's book, First Contact: Speculative Visions of the Conquest of the Americas (Northwestern University Press 2025), is a comparative study of Latin American science fiction and narratives of the sixteenth century conquest of the Americas. It moves through a corpus of Mexican novels, Andean visual arts practices, and other cultural artifacts that have dramatized counterfactual narratives. Reimagining the early colonial period's historiography from a south-to-north directionality while inventing parallel realities, these texts, which are concerned with limit cases, alterities, and alternative temporalities, refuse any reliance on the imperial ontologies of European expansion. Zac examines these works to explore the slippage that exists between science fiction as the exemplary genre of the modern, colonial reality and literary speculation as an aesthetic tool that can be used to imagine other possible worlds. You can read a review in the Los Angeles Review of Books. Zac Zimmer works as an Associate Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz. His research explores questions of literature, aesthetics, politics, and technology in the Americas.In addition to his current research on the cultural infrastructure of technosystems, he co-facilitates the Ethics & Astrobiology reading group, part of UCSC's Astrobiology Initiative. In the Literature department, he teaches classes on Latin American literature, science fiction, ethics & technology, and the poetics of California infrastructure.

(Apr 13, 2026) A woman from St. Lawrence County is on the team of software engineers who designed the systems for the Artemis II, which just returned to Earth after a trip around the moon. We talk with Jamie Szafran, who grew up in Edwards. Also: State police are investigating three deaths of incarcerated people at the prisons in Malone, Ogdensburg, and Gouverneur.

Phi hành đoàn của sứ mạng Artemis II của NASA đã trở về Trái đất, sau khi tạo nên lịch sử trong chuyến bay phía sau Mặt trăng. Họ đã hạ cánh xuống Thái Bình Dương vào tối thứ Sáu theo giờ Mỹ, sau khi bay sâu vào không gian hơn bất kỳ con người nào trước đó.

If you're like me, you may have enjoyed seeing the successful Artemis II mission. NASA administrator Jared Isaacman called the voyage “a perfect mission.” However, it's worth noting how many obstacles stood in the way of the mission's success. We have just celebrated Easter and continue to rejoice in our Savior's resurrection. No matter how great the obstacles in your life, that would make it appear impossible for Jesus to bring His salvation to you, He has overcome them all.

Dr. Jeffrey Gillis, Research Professor of Physics, Washington University, joins Megan Lynch with a follow-up on the Artemis II mission to the Moon. 'That was really touching,' to hear that NASA proposed naming a crater on the Moon for an astronaut's late wife. He explains the next steps with Artemis III & Artemis IV.

Michael, Andy and Michael get things started for this episode with stories Artemis II mission, recorded just a few hours ahead of the splashdown off the California coast.  The Artemis II mission has captured the attention of many and reignited interest in space and space exploration.  NASA has leaned into the Moon Joy and the celebration of the Artemis II crew has inspired and touched the co-hosts. Check out the Artemis II moon wallpaper, and the LunarWall shortcut courtesy of Federico Viticci.  In addition to the Rise mascot floating around the Artemis capsule, the world certainly took note of the floating Nutella jar.  This was not the only COTS product aboard.  In addition to the photos shot on iPhone and Nikon D5, Jessica Alba's Honest lotion also had its moment. NPR had an entertaining story about all of the Moon movies – at least those that had Moon in the title.  This of course missed examples such as the Austin Powers film (with Moon Unit Alpha and Moon Unit Zappa).  Fortunately, Wikipedia has a set of movies set on the Moon. In the AI section, which persisted throughout the episode, actually – “AI!” – the co-hosts talk about the 3D models created by Google's Gemini.  They also take a moment to consider the reported cybersecurity vulnerability discoveries from Anthropic's project Glasswing. Rounding out the episode for this week, the crew takes a look at the Android XR capability for turning 2D websites, apps and more into 3D experiences.  And a fun reboot of Wolfenstein 3D in  isomorphic form – though a bit of a challenge without remapping the keys. What #MoonMovies can you think of that do not have moon in the title?  Have your bots

Marathon talks between senior US and Iranian officials on ending the Middle East conflict have ended in failure. Speaking after the negotiations in Pakistan, US Vice President, JD Vance, said they could not reach an agreement, and he was leaving after putting forward a 'final and best offer'. Iran said the talks were 'intensive' but the US made 'unreasonable demands'. Meanwhile, Israel has continued to attack the Iranian proxy militia, Hezbollah in Lebanon with more than 20 people reported to have been killed on Saturday. Also: parties in Hungary have held their final rallies, ahead of Sunday's parliamentary election, concluding what has been an acrimonious campaign with Prime Minister Viktor Orban trailing in the polls; NASA welcomes home the four astronauts of the Artemis mission, at a rapturous reception in Houston, after they made it safely back to Earth from the far side of the Moon. And, the new book shedding fresh light on the infamous five British intellectuals who were recruited at Cambridge University to spy for Russia in the 1930s.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, today's America mirrors the 1930s in psychological unpreparedness and isolationist sentiment, with many dismissing threats from enemy regimes openly seeking nuclear weapons and vowing to destroy the U.S. The fear is that a significant portion of the American population lacks the resolve to confront such threats, unlike Winston Churchill's ultimately heeded warnings. Communist China is observing the current circumstances and the psychology of a significant percentage of the American people, and they anticipate domestic backlash from the Democrats and the Woke Reich including talk of forever wars, warmongers, and other distractions. Also, media reports frame Israel as not allowed to attack Lebanon, yet Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, has fired hundreds of missiles daily into Israel even during a supposed ceasefire. Iran demands that Israel stop defending itself and that frozen Iranian assets be released immediately as a precondition for any negotiations. This aligns with Iran's consistent pattern of delaying, stalling, and shifting the terms of discussion. Later, the public has been clear.  Any Republican who wishes to win an election better renounce immediately and publicly Tucker Carlson and several in his podcast cabal or they will likely be rejected by the voters.  He and they are hemorrhaging support and they are neither conservatives nor Republicans, but the media portray them that way to do maximum damage to the movement and party.  The president has renounced them and exiled them from MAGA. Don't think the manipulation of comments and ratios on this site are the real world. They are not. Afterward, Mediaite's Colby has been devastatingly exposed as a simpleton and left-wing hack, and he uses the website to trash conservatives, Republicans, Fox, MAGA, and the president, as well as smear people whom he hopes to intimidate.  Hall literally contributes nothing to the public discussion but the usual unhinged bile of a left-wing political hack and character assassin.   Finally, Artemis II has landed back on Earth! The president has revitalized NASA, created the Space Force for defense, and focused on these crucial missions, which should unite the nation. However, the country is divided: one part drives achievements and progress while another attacks and seeks to destroy or fundamentally change America. Learn more about your ad choices.
