In this episode, our guests discuss important themes regarding the future of automation and its implications for naval combat, hosted by Karl Flynn. This episode was recorded on November 30th, 2022. DR. PETER DENNING began building electronic circuits as a teenager. His computer built from pinball machine parts won the science fair in 1959, launching him into the new field of computing. At MIT for his doctorate in 1968, he worked on Multics, a precursor of today's “cloud computing” systems. He taught computer science at Princeton, Purdue, George Mason University, and Naval Postgraduate School. A pioneer in operating systems and computer networks, he invented the “working set,” a widely-adopted way of managing memory for optimal system throughput. From directing a computational science lab at NASA-Ames Research Center, he wrote The Innovator's Way (MIT Press, 2010) on leadership practices to generate adoption of innovations. He published Great Principles of Computing (MIT Press 2015) and Computational Thinking (2019). He has won thirty-four awards for his work in computing science and education. He is a past president of ACM, the oldest scientific society in computing. He is currently editor of Ubiquity (ubiquity.acm.org). DR.

Nos inquieta nuestra SOLEDAD en el universo. Miramos al cielo a la espera de una señal o un destello de vida en nuestro mismo vecindario solar, algo que nos dé indicios de que no estamos tan solos como creíamos. Este es un sueño que incluso Carl Sagan había tenido: una enciclopedia galáctica, un vasto repositorio del conocimiento de muchos mundos. Oye el inicio del gran sueño por encontrar otras compañías distantes: el Catálogo de exoplanetas habitables, creado por el director del Laboratorio de Habitabilidad Planetaria (PHL), Abel Méndez. Nuestro invitado es profesor de la Universidad de Arecibo, en Puerto Rico; becado MIRS de NASA con experiencia en investigación de física y astrofísica en Fermilab, NASA Goddard, NASA Ames y el Observatorio de Arecibo. Es investigador de habitabilidad en el Sistema Solar y planetas extrasolares; desarrollador del Índice de Similitud de la Tierra, y el proyecto Paleo-Tierra Visible. Su investigación ha sido destacada por publicaciones internacionales como National Geographic, Scientific American y Discover Magazine. ¿Cómo podría ser el HOGAR de otras formas de vida? En nuestra galaxia el 73% de las estrellas son enanas rojas y naranjas. Estas suelen tener una juventud violenta, pero pueden vivir 10 veces más que el Sol y estar muy calmadas el resto de su existencia, permitiendo que los planetas a su alrededor sean habitables. ¿Qué tan parecidos podrían ser a la Tierra? Acompáñanos en este viaje en el que es posible que no estemos buscando algo que no hayamos visto. Cuando hablamos de habitabilidad, cuenta Abel Méndez, nos imaginamos una tierra familiar. Pero incluso nuestro hogar en el universo ha cambiado mucho en millones de años. Si nos remitiéramos a sus inicios, la Tierra parecía otro planeta, uno habitado, sobre todo, por la vida que prospera en lo diminuto: océanos colmados de seres microscópicos, sin plantas o animales, que luego evolucionaron para ser lo que somos.

Mayim Vega is a Naturopathic Herbalist, Holistic Life Coach, and the founder of an online school called the Arukah Holistic Life Academy. Arukah offers a dual certification program in Naturopathic Herbalism & Holistic Life Coaching, with an emphasis on the online business model. It seems like a strange combination, but she believes that these 3 fields are important to becoming an effective healer. Mayim has a very interesting story. She was formerly a Computer Scientist / Engineer at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California but after some major disappointments with the modern medical system, decided to take her and her family's health into her own hands. Now she teaches people from different backgrounds - from health professionals like doctors and nurses to people with no medical background - how to heal themselves and others without the need for harmful drugs or procedures with detrimental and sometimes deadly side effects. ✨A few highlights from the show: 1. The Arukah Method, is Mayim's approach and her school's approach to holistic health and healing. The word arukah, comes from the Bible. It means whole, restoration, and complete healing. 2. Nutrition, exercise, water, sunshine, temperance, fresh air, rest, and trust in God, helps to heal cancer, and other diseases. 3. Stress is a root cause of cancer and other major diseases. (Worry &lack of trust in God.)

In 2016, Andrew Hoag, formerly a senior manager at Verisign and a web project lead at NASA's Ames Research Center, founded Teampay, a platform that attempts to automate the software purchasing process for companies.

Donald G. James is the author of "Manners will take you where brains and money won't: Wisdom from Momma and 35 years at NASA." (Feb. 2021). Inspired by the overwhelming reaction to the 1986 space shuttle Challenger tragedy, Donald James decided to make his career at NASA, retiring in 2017.Donald developed an early interest in aviation and international affairs due to his frequent travels with his parents to Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe. In grade school, he learned about the planned supersonic transport (SST) and the new jumbo jet, the 747. The idea that you could fly faster than the speed of sound or in an aeroplane as gigantic as the 747 captivated him. Both Donald and his brother Dennis wanted to pursue aviation careers. Dennis is now a Captain with American Airlines.The experience of living in developing countries and a desire to solve problems of poverty inspired Donald to pursue International Relations and Economic Development academically, though he never lost his interest in aerospace. While considering employment options after graduate school, Donald applied to and was accepted into the Presidential Management Intern program. He was recruited and hired by NASA, beginning at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in 1982. He returned to California, transferring to NASA's Ames Research Center in 1984.Donald decided to make a career at NASA after the tragic Challenger accident in 1986. The loss of teacher Christa McAuliffe and her six fellow crew members, and the tremendous outpouring for the nation's first educator astronaut persuaded Donald that NASA was one agency that could inspire students to be explorers. Donald loves being around brilliant people doing cool science, building better and faster planes, and designing spacecraft to explore low earth orbit and the cosmos. For Donald, working at the Agency that led America and the world to human exploration of the moon is an honour and a privilege.Career highlights include: serving as Ames' Education Director from 1999 to 2006; co-leading Ames' first open house attracting a record-breaking quarter of a million visitors in one day (1997); serving as project manager for NASA's successful bid to host the International Space University's 2009 Space Studies Program; being accepted to the Senior Executive Service. Of all the amazing experiences Donald had, he counts one as the most gratifying: a young graduate student told Donald after a talk he gave that she was inspired to go into engineering when Donald visited her 7th-grade class a decade earlier. In August of 2014, NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden selected Donald as the Agency's Associate Administrator for Education. Donald retired after 35 years—all with NASA—on March 31, 2017.Donald holds a BA in International Relations from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He received a graduate Fellowship from the National Science Foundation and completed an MA in International Economic Development from the American University in Washington, D.C. Donald also studied economics at Cambridge University, England in 1975 and attended Harvard's Senior Executive Fellows program in 2004.Donald enjoys speaking to groups, especially young people interested in aerospace careers and about the themes in his new book. Donald's book (in collaboration with his brother Dennis) Manners Will Take You Where Brains and Money Won't: Wisdom from Momma and 35 years at NASA is available.Donald lives with his wife Tanya in Pleasanton, California. They have two children. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BRADFORD C. BENNETT, PHDDr. Bennett's  formal somatic education began in 1985 when he began studying Tai Chi with Hubert H. Lui. For the next ten years Mr. Lui helped Dr. Bennett become both more relaxed and more biomechanically sound in movement.  He continued to explore methodologies to improve neuromuscular control and studied with several teachers including; Yochanon Rywerant, Ruthy Alon, Llana Rubenfeld, Charlotte Selver, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Dean Juhan, Gaby Yaron, and Giora Pinkas. Following a knee injury a Feldenkrais teacher referred him to Thomas Hanna. One session with Dr. Hanna convinced Dr. Bennett that Dr. Hanna was doing something quite unique and in 1990 he participated in Dr. Hanna's first and only training in what he called Hanna Somatic Education. Dr. Bennett later became a Charter Member of the Association for Hanna Somatic Education®. In 1993 Dr. Bennett left his position at as a Senior Research Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center to focus on somatic education. He was soon recruited to teach at Sonoma State University and then San Francisco State University in the Dept. of Kinesiology. During these studies Dr. Bennett continued studying with H. H.

NASA's Dr. Charles Gatebe, Chief, Atmospheric Science Branch (SGG) & SaSa Principal Investigator at The NASA Ames Research Center, joined WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" radio program on Tuesday about the upcoming NASA Plane to Fly Low Over I-95. On Wednesday, July 6,  the NASA P-3 Plane will fly low over I-95 corridor in support of the NASA Student Airborne Science Activation (SaSa).  About 25 first- and second-year early career undergraduate students from minority serving institutions across the country will fly onboard the NASA P-3 research aircraft at different times to collect land, ocean, and atmospheric measurements. A NASA aircraft will be flying over the I-95 corridor from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore and Hampton, Virginia, in support of an atmospheric campaign in the mid-Atlantic region between July 5 and 16, 2022. The four-engine turboprop P-3, based at Wallops, will fly five days during the 12-day period at altitudes from 1,000 to 10,000 feet. The P-3 can be tracked in real-time at NASA Airborne Science Program Tracker: the plane icon is labeled NASA P-3 (N426NA). Additionally, flight updates will be available via Wallops' Facebook and Twitter. The day before a flight, Wallops will post the estimated time the P-3 aircraft will fly over the I-95 corridor and Hampton.

Dr Caoimhe Rooney is a mathematician at NASA that searches for life throughout the universe by studying distant planets, known as exoplanets.    Following an undergraduate degree in mathematics at Trinity College Dublin, with a scholarship year at UCLA, Caoimhe achieved a PhD in Industrially Focused Mathematical Modeling at the University of Oxford.    In pursuit of her dream to apply her transferrable mathematical skills within the space sector, Caoimhe was awarded the NASA Postdoctoral Program fellowship to model the formation and distribution of clouds in exoplanet atmospheres at NASA Ames Research Center, California. She continues to work at NASA Ames as a Research Scientist.   Motivated by the under-representation of women in maths, Caoimhe also co-founded Mathematigals, an educational outreach initiative with the aim to encourage young girls to pursue mathematics by making it fun and accessible while showcasing its many applications.   In today's show we talk about: Why GCSE maths is a terrible representation of what the field of mathematics is really like How she ended up landing a job at NASA What it's like looking billions of years into the past How the atmosphere of exoplanets can be observed using light Her dreams of becoming an astronaut Favourite space/maths related movies  And her greatest challenges/successes from the journey so far   Check it out!   https://bestofbelfast.org/stories/caoimhe-rooney-NASA-mathematician

New exploration indicates that caves may be more common on rocky and icy worlds in our Solar System than we have thought in the past. Caves below the Earth show us a very different planet than the familiar one we experience on the surface.  Each dark cave system has its own micro-organisms and distinctive mineral and chemical properties.  Dr. Penelope Boston, NASA Ames Research Center, takes us on a tour of the some of the most spectacular caves under the Earth and the unusual life-forms they harbor, and considers how the lessons they teach us can be applied to the exploration of the Solar System, especially the icy moons of the giant planets.(Recorded Feb. 27, 2019)

Every time we've figured out a different way to look at the Universe, going beyond the capabilities of our own meagre senses, we've opened up an opportunity to learn something new about what's out there. Although optical astronomy and near-infrared astronomy are arguably the most popular ways to view the Universe, with James Webb soon to bring the mid-infrared Universe into view as never before, we shouldn't forget about the value of other, more distant wavelengths of light. One of the most fascinating sets of data that we can collect is in the far-infrared, where gas heated to just a few tens of Kelvin shines, but where much hotter, even ionized gas can emit very special hyperfine transitions. Mapping out these regions of space helps us understand what's going on beyond mere star-formation or other violent events, and a series of remarkably specific observational techinques are, quite arguably, how we're obtaining the most valuable information of all in this part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Joining the Starts With A Bang podcast to help guide us through the topic of far-infrared astronomy is Dr. Jessica Sutter, an astronomer at NASA Ames who's part of the USRA and who works with the SOFIA telescope, a one-of-a-kind far-infrared observatory that can do what no ground-based nor space-based observatory can. Have a listen, and I hope you wind up learning as much as I did!

Pluto's large moon Charon turned out to be far more interesting than astronomers expected.  Pluto was the star when the New Horizons probe flew by, but the features on Charon's surface tell a fascinating tale of how icy worlds could form far from the gravitational influences of the giant planets.  There is evidence of a world-wide sub-surface ocean early on, and of global expansion as that ocean froze solid.  Charon's surface also has a region of plains where icy materials may once have flowed and smoothed over the fractures present elsewhere on its surface.  Dr. Beyer is your expert guide through this story of formation and change in the frozen reaches of the outer Solar System.Dr. Ross Beyer is a Planetary Scientist with the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute and at NASA's  Ames Research Center. This talk was given May 15, 2019
