Bob return for multi-topic discussion ranging from the recent successful Blue Origin all woman suborbital flight to the latest with NASA budget and science cut rumors, Jared Isaacman hearings for NASA Administrator, Starship demos, repairs, Artemis good and bad, possible SLS, Orion and Gateway cuts and much more. Bob spent lots of time with his analysis of the pending Nancy Roman telescope which is rumored to be on the budget cutting list though Bob see the OMB rumored and leaked news as a Trump administration negotiating tactic. Bob talked about the need to clean house regarding costly, overdue and not so necessary NASA and other government projects and continued as he always does to support private commercial everything over government. We talked about the private space station efforts on the part of VAST, cislunar development, and other recent human spaceflight missions Bob said many times that the F9 was approaching airline like operations. For threats to commercial space, he focused in on excessive regulations. Listen to the entire program for all our discussion points.

On Wednesday, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation heard testimony from Jared Isaacman, President Trump's nominee to lead NASA. During the confirmation hearing, Isaacman indicated a priority of sending humans to Mars—while maintaining the agency's plans to return people to the lunar surface.In response to a question from Senator Ted Cruz, Isaacman said “I don't think we have to make any tough trades here, Senator. I think if we can concentrate our resources at the world's greatest space agency, we don't have to make a binary decision of moon versus Mars, or moon has to come first versus Mars.” Senators questioned how a strategy involving both options would be possible under current funding levels, and stressed that a bipartisan law had codified the current approach of targeting the moon first, then Mars.The fate of the Artemis lunar exploration program has faced questions in the new administration. In his inaugural address, President Trump expressed a desire to send astronauts to Mars, but didn't mention the moon. Elon Musk, head of SpaceX and a favored advisor to the president, is in favor of prioritizing crewed Mars missions ahead of lunar programs. Under questioning, Isaacman repeatedly refused to say directly whether Musk had been present for his job interview with the President.Host Flora Lichtman talks with Senior Producer Charles Bergquist about the nomination and the path ahead for NASA. They also talk about other stories from the week in science, including the controversy over claims of a “de-extincted” dire wolf, advances in rapid bird flu sensors, and the detailed physics of a cup of pour-over coffee.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Bob Zimmerman was back for his final 2024 Space Show program. Bob had much to say about the potential new NASA Administrator, Jarrod Isaacman, and how he might change the focus of the space program. He has a two part series on this on his website, www.behindtheblack.com but he discussed it in detail with us. Comment on it on our blog. We also talked about the private space stations and he ranked them in order of making progress. We talked about other launch vehicles, the international scene for commercial space and stations, economics, the naysayer movement and more. Don't miss this program.

Booster 14 sieht Feuer vor Starship-Start Nummer 7. New Glenn absolviert erste Cryotests von Erst- und Zweitstufe vor dem Erststart. Die SpaceX Starbase soll eine eigene Stadt werden. Jared Isaacman gibt ersten Ausblick auf seine Amtszeit als NASA Administrator. SpaceX mit 350 Milliarden jetzt deutlich höher bewertet als größtes deutsches Unternehmen. JPL beendet die erste Untersuchung eines Flugunfalls auf einem anderen Planeten. Virgin Galactic will von Italien aus starten und alle Teile für den zweiten Flug der Ariane 6 sind bereit für Montage. Das und noch mehr, mit allen Hintergründen schauen wir uns heute an.

Am 13. November 2024 fand vor dem US-Kongress eine bedeutende Anhörung zu Unidentifizierten Anomalen Phänomenen (UAP) statt. Vier prominente Zeugen traten auf, darunter: - Dr. Tim Gallaudet, Konteradmiral a.D. der US Navy und CEO von Ocean STL Consulting, LLC. - Luis Elizondo, Autor und ehemaliger Beamter des Verteidigungsministeriums. - Michael Gold, ehemaliger NASA-Administrator für Weltraumpolitik und Partnerschaften sowie Mitglied des NASA UAP Independent Study Teams. - Michael Shellenberger, Gründer von Public. Diese Experten legten schriftliche Stellungnahmen vor und gaben mündliche Aussagen, um das Thema UAPs einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Ein zentrales Thema war die Offenlegung eines geheimen US-Programms namens "Immaculate Constellation", das sich mit der Sammlung und Analyse von UFO-Sichtungen befasst. Trotz dieser Enthüllungen bleibt die Frage nach der Substanz der präsentierten Informationen offen. Während einige Zeugen von fortschrittlichen Technologien und möglichen außerirdischen Ursprüngen sprachen, betonte das Pentagon, dass die meisten UFO-Sichtungen auf weltliche Objekte oder experimentelle Technologien zurückzuführen seien und es keine Beweise für außerirdische Herkunft gebe. Diese Anhörung markiert einen weiteren Schritt in den Bemühungen um Transparenz und das Verständnis von UAPs, doch bleibt abzuwarten, wie viel Substanz tatsächlich hinter den präsentierten Informationen steckt.

PREVIEW: NASA: Colleague Bob Zimmerman of BehindtheBlack.com recommends the new NASA Administrator, Jared Isaacman, direct NASA's strength to supporting commercial space in Earth Orbit and not devote time and money to a manned return to the moon. More tonight.

This week, we're covering a broad swath, from President-Elect Trump's shocking choice for NASA Administrator to new delays for the Artemis lunar program to UFOs/UAPs! And for such an adventure, we turn to Leonard David, the most seasoned space reporter and journalist out there.

This week, we're going live from Austin, TX, at Payload's inaugural event, “The Ultimate High Ground: The Role of Space in National Security,” held during SXSW. Our episode features a fireside chat with Dan Goldin, the longest-serving NASA Administrator, from April 1992 to November 2001. Dan is known for leading NASA's resurgence during one of its most challenging periods following the Cold War. His tenure was characterized by the philosophy of "faster, better, cheaper," which established the foundation for the modern space industry.We spend a considerable amount of time discussing Dan's contributions outside NASA, including his tenure at TRW and his efforts at Cerberus, a leading private equity firm that is now heavily involved in aerospace and defense.

What's it like running a $11 billion dollar space business at a publicly traded company and managing a team of nearly 22,000? Or what about building the Orion spacecraft that just finished a 25-day trip around the Moon, and will carry astronauts on its next mission? In Pathfinder #0028, we'll get the answers to those questions and a whole lot more with Robert Lightfoot, the executive vice president of Lockheed Martin Space and former acting NASA administrator. Today's episode is brought by Altek Space, which provides custom manufacturing of essential parts and components for rockets and satellites (including SmallSats). Find out more at https://www.altek-inc.com/space Robert leads the LM Space business, which is one of the four major divisions of its parent company. The $11 billion business line builds space technology systems for defense, civil, and commercial space customers. Its portfolio ranges from integrated systems for satellites to space-based missile defense capabilities to space observatories to interplanetary robotic spacecraft. Robert became EVP of LM Space on Jan. 1, 2022, so he's coming up on his one-year anniversary. Prior to Lockheed, Robert spent 29 years at NASA, holding a variety of leadership roles and rising up the ranks to become associate administrator, the highest ranking civil service position at the agency. He served as the 11th director of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Though Robert is from Alabama, went to Bama, and led one of NASA's key centers in the state, somehow we didn't cover college football at all. But we did cover: — An Artemis I postmortem and Orion's performance during the mission — Leading large organizations, first in the government and then at a Fortune 500 company — “Protect, connect, and explore” as organizational guideposts — Building space hardware at scale — Recruiting and the importance of talent • Chapters • 0:00 intro 3:51 Starting in space 10:25 Engineer to leader 19:30 Artemis I and Orion 31:52 LM Space's portfolio..."protect, connect, and explore" 41:05 Being part of a public company 46:19 Cost-plus vs. fixed-price contracts 49:00 Future projects you're excited about 54:32 Lightning round • Show notes • Full bio — https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/who-we-are/leadership-governance/robert-lightfoot.html LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-lightfoot-lm-space Website — https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/space.html Company twitter — https://twitter.com/LMSpace NDSA explainer — https://payloadspace.com/ndsa-explainer/ • About us • Pathfinder is brought to you by Payload, a modern space media brand built from the ground up for a new age of space exploration and commercialization.

Today we have a Combat Story first with our first Astronaut who spent over 377 days in space and completed 10 spacewalks (where he's actually out in space in nothing but his suit): Chris Cassidy. Before he joined NASA, Chris was a Navy SEAL and was one of the very first sent into Afghanistan in 2001 after 9/11. There's very little Chris has not accomplished. He attended the US Naval Academy, received a Master of Science in Ocean Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and has two Honorary PhD's. As a SEAL, Chris earned a Bronze Star with Valor and a Presidential Unit Citation for combat in Afghanistan. He was NASA's 14th Chief Astronaut, which is the head of NASA's Astronaut Corps and is the principal advisor to the NASA Administrator on astronaut training and operations.Chris is incredibly humble given his accomplishments and it's no surprise he is now President and CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, where he's leading efforts to build out an iconic Museum for MOH recipients, a Leadership Institute, and a Monument on the National Mall.I hope you enjoy this view from Space from such a down to Earth man as much as I did.

Our guest today is Dr. Michael Griffin, the Pentagon's former Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. During his two and a half years as undersecretary, Mike made hypersonic weapons and defense against them his number one priority. In today's episode, Mike talks about the history of hypersonic technology; why he made it his number one priority at the Department of Defense; and why Russia's and China's growing hypersonic capability represents a serious threat to America's national security. Our interview with Mike was conducted on March 23, one month following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The weekend prior to our interview with Mike, Russia reported that it used a hypersonic missile to strike a Ukrainian military facility. This is Mike's second appearance on STEM-Talk. He was our guest on episode 23 back in 2016 when we talked to him about his tenure as NASA Administrator from April of 2005 to January of 2009. Mike holds numerous academic degrees, including a BS in physics from Johns Hopkins, five master's degrees, and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. In addition to serving as NASA Administrator and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, his long career has included numerous other academic and corporate positions. Show notes [00:04:33] Dawn welcomes Mike back to the podcast, mentioning that when Mike was last on STEM-Talk in 2016, he talked about space exploration and his tenure as NASA administrator. Dawn goes on to mention that since then, Mike served a two-and-a-half-year stint as the Pentagon's first research and engineering undersecretary, a position Congress created in 2018. Mike talks briefly about his perspectives on hypersonics research and development in the U.S. as well as in China and Russia. [00:05:36] Ken asks Mike to give a brief definition of hypersonics, given that during his time as undersecretary, he made hypersonics his top priority. [00:09:59] Ken mentions that last weekend, Russia reportedly used hypersonic weapons in Ukraine. Ken asks if Mike has any thoughts as to why the Russians are using hypersonic weapons in Ukraine as opposed to other less expensive weapons that would have sufficed from a military perspective.  Ken wonders whether the use of hypersonics was primarily for strategic messaging. [00:12:26] Ken asks Mike about his op-ed in Breaking Defense that he recently co-authored and was titled, “Rethinking the hypersonic debate for relevancy in the Pacific.” [00:15:17] Ken points out that many U.S. leaders view China as primarily a trading partner and a source of inexpensive goods rather than a power that regards the U.S. as an adversary. [00:16:49] Mike describes hypersonics in more detail and explains the implications for national security. [00:18:28] Dawn mentions that hypersonic technologies are often thought of as relatively new. Mike talks about how the first hypersonic systems were actually used during World War II by the Germans. [00:19:34] Ken explains that the aerodynamic heating that occurs at hypersonic speeds is very intense. As a result, the propulsion technology, airframe materials and thermal management involved in hypersonics is very demanding. Ken goes on to say that in the mid-1950s, this was an issue the Air Force had to overcome during its development of the Atlas Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Ken asks Mike to discuss aerodynamic heating caused by hypersonic speeds and how it was handled with respect to the Atlas missile. [00:23:12] Ken asks about the challenges NASA faced in overcoming aerodynamic heating on the Command Module for the Apollo missions during reentry, which would reach speeds up to Mach 35. [00:23:49] Dawn explains that hypersonic weapon systems fall primarily into two classifications: air-breathing cruise missiles and hypersonic boost-glide systems. She asks Mike to give an overview of these two systems and asks if as a country we should inve...
