SpaceFest, run by Greywood Arts in partnership with the National Space Centre (NSC) and supported by Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland, celebrates Science Week by combining science and the arts to explore the cosmos. This year's festival offers a week-long programme for adults, teens, and families, running from Sunday, 10 November through Sunday, 17 November. Attendees can look forward to experiments, exhibitions, tours, classes, workshops, and more, all accessible at https://spacefest.ie. Now in its fourth year, SpaceFest is expanding beyond its previous home base at the NSC. 2024 events will be held across Cork City at venues including Marina Market, UCC, Blackrock Castle Observatory, and Cork County Cricket Club. In East Cork, activities will take place at Greywood Arts (Killeagh) and the National Space Centre (Midleton). Some of the dozen SpaceFest events around Cork City and County include: Space Cocktails Speakeasy (€20): What does a nebula taste like in liquid form? What cocktail could we make with ingredients found on Mars? Dr Alfredo Carpineti, also known as the Astroholic, will lead an Astro-inspired mixology workshop with hands-on demonstrations. Ballymaloe-trained chef, and Food Truck alumni Niamh Hergarty will pair tastings inspired by the first fermentation on the ISS. It's About Time: Distant Galaxies Poetry Workshop (Free): Participants will have the opportunity to tour UCC's historic 1880 Crawford Observatory in a private visit led by UCC Head of Astrophysics Dr Paul Callanan. A 90-minute workshop led by poet Kerri Sonnenberg will follow, pondering how images of distant galaxies from billions of years in the past, their light just now reaching us, causes us to reconsider what we think we know about time. Stellar Perspectives at Solaris: (Free): An astrophotography exhibit featuring images of the heavens and night skies over Ireland. The nine photographers whose work is displayed represent members of photography, astrophotography and astronomy clubs from across the country as well as independent photographers. The week culminates with Cosmic Debris (Free), an immersive multimedia exhibition that challenges the audience to rethink our place in the cosmos and the impact we leave behind. Held at the National Space Centre beneath the site's iconic 32-metre Big Dish, tickets include a tour of the facility, which only opens to the public for this annual event. Greywood Artists-in-residence Nicholas Carn (UK), Kerry Guinan (IE) and artist/engineer Luisa Charles (UK) present collaboratively devised kinetic, levitating sculptures and moving images in response to the issue of space debris. Selected from over 100 applicants, these three internationally exhibited artists engaged with both Blackrock Castle Observatory and UCC's Crawford Observatory during their residency at Greywood Arts in Killeagh in order to bring hard science into the creative interpretation on exhibit. Big Listening and Radio Silence, featuring sound, sculptures and listening devices created by nearly 150 young participants from Greywood's space-themed STEAM programme, will also be on display for visitors to see and interact with. As one of a number of accessibility initiatives rolled into the Festival, a special session for Deaf and Hard of Hearing visitors facilitated by ISL interpreter Keira O'Connell is available for booking online with the rest of the week-long programme at https://spacefest.ie.

For ALL the Cosmically Curious in Celebration of Science Week at SpaceFest Join Fig O'Reilly for a free online event on November 19th exploring success in STEAM, talking about the launch of Ireland's first satellite EIRSAT-1, and answering questions from participants. Former Miss Ireland and NASA Datanaut Fionnghuala "Fig" O'Reilly will be the guest of honour at a free, public online workshop as part of the Science Foundation Ireland funded SpaceFest at the National Space Centre in Cork. The event will offer members of the public the rare chance to ask questions of a leading figure in Ireland's science outreach and emerging space industry. An engineer and regional director of NASA's Space Apps Challenge in Washington, DC, she was recently invited by the European Space Agency to the European Space Research and Technology Centre. Located in the Netherlands, the centre is ESA's main development and test campus for spacecraft and space technology. Fig visited as part of the Irish delegation supporting the launch of EIRSAT-1, Ireland's first satellite. In 2019 Fig herself made history as the first woman of colour and Black woman to represent Ireland at the international Miss Universe competition, highlighting the need for diversity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.) She subsequently launched Space to Reach, an organization dedicated to advancing Black and Brown women in STEM. On Sunday 19 November, she'll talk with artist Linda Curtain about the value of extending STEM to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathmatics) and the intersection of space and art. Their conversation will also focus on the need for DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) in all aspects of STEM and the importance of companies reflecting the markets they serve. Members of the public who register for the event here will have the opportunity to ask Fionnghuala about EIRSAT-1, her STEM advocacy for women and for women of colour, and her experiences in the space industry.

This week's topic is Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite broadband service that some believe is the future for rural areas that have been deprived of broadband connectivity. But with the National Broadband Plan slowly being rolled out to every rural home here, does Starlink realistically have any role to play? Who would pay two to three times the price of a fibre connection for Starlink's dish and monthly fees when it only delivers a fraction of fibre's speed? Adrian is joined in discussion by Rory Fitzpatrick, CEO of the National Space Centre and Brian Flanagan, a retired business consultant who has been testing Starlink's service from his home in Blackrock, County Dublin.

In today's podcast Melanie Boylan spoke with Rory Fitzpatrick is the CEO of the National Space Centre in Elfordstown, Republic of Ireland. They covered a lot of ground in their chat which included the above question, also how Brexit has impacted the industry and environmental sustainability and the space sector. Listen in below to learn more: Rory Fitzpatrick Rory returned to Ireland in 1996 and moved from publishing into communications as media began its fast-paced merge with internet content. Recognising this new demand, in 1997 Rory launched IT Week, one of the first technical exhibitions in Ireland, and in 1999 established Mediasat Ltd to supply satellite based broadband in Ireland, and later Solas Ltd to supply terrestrial broadband. In 2010 Rory organised a consortium of investors to create National Space Centre Ltd, which took over the running of Elfordstown Earthstation from Eircom. National Space Centre The National Space Centre (NSC) is Europe's most westerly teleport and Ireland's only commercial ground station. Opened as Elfordstown Earthstation in 1984 at a cost of IR£8M (€25M today), the facility celebrated ten years of operation as the NSC in 2020. The company provides commercial broadcast services, ground control support for satellites and spacecraft, academic research partnerships and space industry consulting. The NSC's co-located Space Campus is home to more than a dozen Irish space startups and EU-headquartered space enterprises. The refurbished site has grown from five initial antennas to 33 antennas on-site in 2021. These range from a variety of dishes as small as 3.7M to the site's flagship 32M dish, known as The Big Dish. Following a nationwide schools competition in 2011, the dish was officially named CORY: Computer Operated Radio Yoke.

Claudia Cragg (@KGNUClaudia) speaks here for KGNU Denver/Boulder (@KGNU)'It's The Economy' with James Bannerman (). Bannerman is a 'Creative Change Agent' who "combines Creativity with Psychology to help businesses innovate". His most recent books are "r" and "". Kindly note: In the US, the first of these two books is published as ' Bannerman says that the books aren't going to turn you into a genius, but he says you already knew that. What it will do, he maintains, is increase the number of genius moments in your life. You know, those amazing times when you cleverly solve a problem that others have been struggling with, or come up with a brilliant idea that makes the ordinary extraordinary. We could all do with a touch more inner genius: The ability to see what others miss. The ability to shape an ingeniously persuasive argument. The ability to create, adapt, adjust, rethink, tweak, and polish. This is the stuff upon which amazing careers and great businesses are built. And while we can’t all be the next Einstein, Shakespeare, or Steve Jobs, we can all develop and hone our genius thinking skills. His combined work just might enable you, the reader, to: Solve problems and dissolve obstacles Spot opportunities that others miss Win arguments with persuasive lines Turn the distinctly average into something truly special Those who think creatively are given a massive advantage, he argues, —in the workplace and at home—and everyone can do it, with a bit of help. As an innovation consultant Bannerman has worked with many leading organisations including Aston Martin, British Airways, Orange, Starbucks, Rolls-Royce and HSBC, as well as at the National Space Centre on a mission to Mars. He also lectures on business creativity and innovation on the MBA programmes at Warwick Business School, Grenoble Ecole de Management, and Oxford Brookes University, where he is currently doing a PhD on the impact of lateral thinking upon organizational advantage. Before working in business he was a platinum-selling songwriter, a freelance cartoonist (eg. Punch), a trained clinical psychotherapist, and he has an MA Hons in English Literature from Edinburgh University
