Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Ulugh Beg was a poor politician and warrior. Just a year after becoming leader of the central Asian kingdom of Transoxiana, he was deposed by his son – then beheaded. Yet he was one of the top scientists and educators of his time. He built a school and observatory at the capital city of Samarkand. Astronomers there made highly accurate measurements of the heavens – two centuries before the invention of the telescope. Construction of the observatory began in 1420, and was completed a few years later. The complex consisted of a tall, round building that housed a variety of instruments. The main one was a quadrant – a quarter of a circle. It was the largest one ever built – 130 feet from center to rim. Its base was carved into a hillside, making it highly stable. And it was aligned with the meridian – the north-south line that passes directly overhead. Astronomers used precise markings on the instrument to measure the positions of the Moon, Sun, planets, and stars. From those observations, they determined the length of a year to within a minute of the modern value. They calculated the tilt of Earth’s axis. And they published the first major star catalog in 1600 years. The observatory was destroyed soon after Ulugh Beg was killed. It was rediscovered in 1908 – a long-forgotten astronomical treasure.

Trish Greenhalgh, professor of primary care at the University of Oxford, joins us to discuss the data she found. Habib Naqvi is director of the NHS Race and Health Observatory, and is holding up a mirror to the NHS on it's support for ethnic minority patients and doctors - he joins us to talk about the work they've done, and why Reform UK's manifesto pledge to disband the Observatory is a matter of pride.  Finally, our annual trip to the Nuffield Summit is not complete without a roundtable, this year we asked the question "What is stopping staff from speaking up?". Our panellists raised the usual issues of hierarchy and psychological safety, but also how the lack of positive change from senior leadership has habituated people into thinking "why bother".

Attaque-parade-riposte : le vocabulaire de l'escrime pourrait très bien s'appliquer à la nouvelle guerre commerciale qui s'engage entre les États-Unis et la Chine, les deux plus grandes puissances économiques mondiales, dans la foulée de l'élection de Donald Trump. Suite aux tarifs douaniers décrétés par le président américain, Pékin riposte par des taxes sur des produits agricoles et promet de se «battre jusqu'au bout». Quelles seront les conséquences de ce nouveau clash pour la Chine et pour les États-Unis ?

Attaque-parade-riposte : le vocabulaire de l'escrime pourrait très bien s'appliquer à la nouvelle guerre commerciale qui s'engage entre les États-Unis et la Chine, les deux plus grandes puissances économiques mondiales, dans la foulée de l'élection de Donald Trump. Suite aux tarifs douaniers décrétés par le président américain, Pékin riposte par des taxes sur des produits agricoles et promet de se «battre jusqu'au bout». Quelles seront les conséquences de ce nouveau clash pour la Chine et pour les États-Unis ?

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 27The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastAsteroid 2024 YR4 Impact Risk Reduced, Insights into Mars' Core, and NASA's Lunar Mission UpdateIn this episode of SpaceTime, we bring you encouraging news about asteroid 2024 YR4, with new observations indicating that the chances of it impacting Earth have plummeted to just 0.001%. Initially flagged as a potential threat, this asteroid has been closely monitored, and the latest data from the Very Large Telescope has allowed astronomers to refine its orbit and rule out any collision risk for 2032.Exploring the Martian CoreWe also delve into a fascinating new study regarding the composition of Mars' core. Research suggests that while it may contain a liquid outer core, there could also be a solid inner core composed of iron and sulfur. This breakthrough could reshape our understanding of the Red Planet's geophysical properties and the role of lighter elements in its core.NASA's Latest Lunar MissionAdditionally, we provide an update on NASA's latest lunar mission, which has successfully launched and is heading towards the Moon's south pole. The mission features the Intuitive Machines IM2 spacecraft, equipped with the Athena lunar lander and the Lunar Trailblazer orbiter, both designed to conduct groundbreaking research and resource utilization studies on the lunar surface.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 27 for broadcast on 3 March 202500:49 Update on asteroid 2024 YR4 impact probability06:30 Importance of new observations from the Very Large Telescope12:15 Insights into the Martian core composition18:00 Research on solid inner core possibilities22:45 Overview of NASA's lunar IM2 mission27:00 Archaeological discovery of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tomb30:15 Discussion on the cultural significance of the Skinwalker Ranch serieswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Hosted by Tony Darnell. From September 8, 2023. There's no question that humanity is making fast progress in understanding, cataloging and classifying planets around other stars. So far we've found over five thousand five hundred of them. But let's face it, we really want to know, maybe more than anything else, whether these planets have any life on them and whether they are habitable for us to, maybe, live on.   Finding habitable worlds has been a driving passion since we first learned there were other planets out there, and to find them, we are going to need a dedicated instrument that does nothing else but tries to locate and characterize them.   That's where the Habitable Worlds Observatory comes in. NASA says  “HWO is a concept for a NASA flagship mission, as recommended by the 2020 Astrophysics Decadal Survey, that would pursue a breadth of astrophysics goals, including searching for and characterizing potentially habitable planets beyond our solar system.”   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

In the episode of The Observatory, we are revisiting a powerful episode with our guest is Dicken Bettinger, author of the book “Coming Home.” In his life he had the opportunity to work with and rub shoulders with Sidney Banks. Sidney had a moment of enlightenment in his life where he understood some universal principles of what life is, and it changed his life forever. We are pretty passionate about this and really it is the foundation of why we're doing what we're doing, so we invite you to sit back, take a moment, listen with your heart, don't be attached to the words and just allow this message to flow through you.Timestamps: [1:51] Dicken's background[11:58] Everyone is connected to cosmic energy [18:41] The 3 principles: thought, consciousness, and mind [24:06] For those who haven't heard about this [37:47] Understanding the principles and putting them to work [48:33] Nature's influence [60:38] People are beginning to understand [63:44] Feeling grief Notable quotes:“We are intimately a part of that dimension of life in the same way a wave is intimately a part of the ocean. We're not separate from the other forms of life. It's living us, creating us, breathing us, pumping our blood. We can't not be that.”  Dicken Bettinger [15:54]“Insight learning is different than information learning. Information learning is memorization of facts, but it's insight that changes people. Not information.” Dicken Bettinger [24:38]Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcast
