Podcast appearances and mentions of oliver daemen

Désert du Texas. 20 juillet 2021. 8h00.La météo est idéale en cette matinée. Le ciel est totalement dégagé et les vents sont légers. Cela fait tout juste deux semaines que Jeff Bezos a quitté la présidence de sa société Amazon. Pour son premier voyage en tant que jeune retraité, il a vu grand, très grand. Aux aurores, ce n'est pas une tenue de vacances qu'il a enfilée mais une combinaison bleue au couleur de sa Start up « Blue Origin ». 8h05. Toute l'équipe du site appelé « One » est en alerte.52 ans jour pour jour après les premiers pas de Neil Armstrong sur la lune, quatre touristes de l'espace s'apprêtent à décoller, pour un voyage au-delà de l'atmosphère terrestre. À bord de la fusée, aux côtés de Jeff Bezos, il y a son frère Mark, une aviatrice et astronaute de 82 ans Wally Funk, et un Néerlandais de 18 ans Oliver Daemen. Avec ce vol, Wally Funk et Olivier Daemen vont devenir respectivement l'astronaute la plus âgée et le plus jeune de l'Histoire de la conquête de l'espace.8h09. La fusée nommée « New Shepard » est prête pour le décollage. Une certaine agitation, et une fébrilité sont palpables au sein de l'équipage. Le paysage, lui, est paradoxalement calme, comme figé, en attente. Au beau milieu de l'immensité du désert, droite et impatiente, pointant vers le ciel, on ne voit qu'elle à des kilomètres à la ronde : Une fusée blanche, avec sur son côté, écrit en bleu, le nom de la société qui l'a créé « Blue Origin ».8h11. Avec quelques minutes de retard sur l'horaire prévu, l'engin de 49 tonnes quitte le sol dans un tremblement assourdissant. La fusée fend le ciel, elle accéléré de plus en plus, pour atteindre une vitesse qui dépasse les 3700 kilomètres heure. Au bout de 150 secondes, la capsule se sépare de son propulseur. Quelques instants plus tard, le pari est réussi. Les voyageurs se retrouvent en suspension à un peu plus de 100 km au-dessus de la terre, entre l'atmosphère terrestre et l'espace. Pour ces quatre touristes d'un nouveau genre, le temps d'une éternité éphémère, la vie se fige, pour ne devenir rapidement qu'un souvenir. Car, ça y est, la capsule redescend, en chute libre. C'est déjà le moment du retour, après 11 minutes de vol. Trois immenses parachutes se déploient, puis c'est le rétro-propulseur qui apparaît pour assurer un atterrissage en douceur. De retour sur terre, Jeff Bezos, un chapeau de cowboy sur la tête déclare : « Je viens de vivre le plus beau jour de ma vie ».Comment cet homme de 57 ans a-t-il pu s'offrir ce rêve d'enfant à plusieurs milliards de dollars ? Grâce à la fortune qu'il a accumulée. Une richesse qu'il doit à une idée qu'il a eu il y a une vingtaine d'années : Créer « La plus grande librairie du monde » sur internet.Texte : Bertrand BichaudVoix : Marie ZidiEncore plus de Podcast à écouter ici sur PODCAST STORY

Komt er voorzichtig een einde aan de oorlog in Oost Europa? De militaire activiteiten rond Kiev zouden drastisch worden teruggeschroefd na overleg in Istanbul vandaag. Met de Voorzitter van de Vereniging van Officieren Niels van Woensel en Ruslandkenners Wierd Duk en Jelle Brandt Cortius bespreken we deze opmerkelijke stap. De koningin van de typetjes is niet van het podium weg te slaan. Tineke Schouten jubileert met haar 25ste voorstelling.

Als je iets ergs hebt meegemaakt dan kun je daar later vaak nog steeds last van hebben. Bepaalde situaties triggeren bij jou dan een herbeleving. - Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de recente watersnoodramp in Limburg, of aan Oliver Daemen (18) de jongste persoon in de ruimte. - Je krijgt dan een zogenaamde paniekaanval met veel angst en stress. Je lijdt dan aan een Post Traumatisch Stress Syndroom. Dat is erg vervelend. Maar gelukkig is PTSS goed te behandelen. Bijvoorbeeld met de psychologische therapie voor traumabehandeling genaamd ‘EMDR' (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Kortom in deze uitzending gaan we in op de vraag ‘Hoe verwerk je een trauma?'. Chantal praat ons bij over trauma's, traumabehandeling en EMDR. Heb je een suggestie voor een tutorial?

Falling yields and falling market- Jeff Bezos heading to space. The Blue Origin crew preparing to board the capsule. Bezo's is accompanied by his brother, female aviation pioneer Wally Funk and an 18 year Oliver Daemen who is filling in for the $28 mil charity auction winner. Scheduled for 9:00am ET. According to Morgan Stanley, Space market is expected to triple in size with more than 1Tril in annual sales by 2040.- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), McKesson Corp (MCK), Cardinal Health (CAH), AmerisourceBergen (ABC) expected to announce a $26 bill opioid settlement. Settlement would involve payments from J&J the drugmaker and the 3 drug distributors.

Jeff Bezos y su particular tripulación están a punto de despegar al espacio con Blue Origin. La misión representaría el primer vuelo sin piloto al espacio con una tripulación totalmente civil, pues no llevará a bordo a ningún astronauta de su plantilla ni a personal capacitado. En el viaje de 11 minutos, previsto desde las instalaciones del Launch Site One de la compañía, participarán la persona de más edad que jamás haya ido al espacio, la pionera aviadora Wally Funk, de 82 años; y el más joven, el estudiante de física Oliver Daemen, de 18 años. Junto a ellos, en el lanzamiento de Blue Origin estarán Jeff Bezos, fundador y actual presidente ejecutivo de Amazon.com Inc, y su hermano Mark Bezos. El gran ausente en la tripulación el misterioso ganador de una subasta de 28 millones de dólares por un asiento, que tuvo "conflictos de agenda" y participará en un futuro vuelo, y que ha pedido permanecer en el anonimato, dijo la compañía. La tripulación pasará unos minutos más allá de la línea de Karman. Podrán admirar la curvatura del planeta desde las grandes ventanas que abarcan un tercio de la superficie de la cabina. El propulsor regresará de forma autónoma a una plataforma de aterrizaje situada al norte de su lugar de lanzamiento, mientras que la cápsula caerá libremente hacia la Tierra antes de desplegar tres paracaídas gigantes, y finalmente un propulsor, para aterrizar suavemente en el desierto del oeste de Texas. En este episodio de Yottabytes, hablaremos sobre esta misión que, al igual que Virgin Galactic, está dando mucho de qué hablar. #Yottabytes #JeffBezos #BlueOrigin

Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, went to space and back Tuesday morning on an 11-minute, supersonic joy ride aboard the rocket and capsule system developed by his space company, Blue Origin. Riding alongside the multibillionaire were Bezos' brother, Mark Bezos; Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pilot and one of the "Mercury 13" women who trained to go to space in the 20th century but never got to fly; and an 18-year old recent high school graduate named Oliver Daemen who was Blue Origin's first paying customer and whose father, an investor, purchased his ticket. Funk and Daemen became the oldest and youngest people, respectively, ever to travel to space. And this flight marked the first-ever crewed mission for Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital space tourism rocket, which the company plans to use to take wealthy thrill seekers on high-flying joy rides in the months and years to come.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

En colaboración con Luis Cárdenas, para MVS Noticias, platicamos con Arturo Barba, colaborador de ciencia, quien habló sobre el viaje al espacio de Jeff Bezos. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vor zwei Wochen war der Milliardär Richard Branson im All, heute startet Amazon Gründer Jeff Bezos mit seinem privaten Raumschiff, der New Shepard. Aber nicht allein: mit dabei sind die 82-jährige US-Pilotin Wally Funk und der 18-jährige Niederländer Oliver Daemen. Er ist damit der jüngste Mensch, der jemals im All war. Immer mehr Milliardäre investieren in private Raumfahrt. Aber sind solche Trips einfach nur teure Spielereien oder können wir wirklich bald Urlaub im All machen? Und warum sollte man Weltraumtourismus auch kritisch sehen?

Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, has finally achieved his childhood dream of launching himself into space. The New Shepherd launched at about 1.10am NZ time, returning to earth a total of ten minutes and ten seconds later. The launch, by Bezos' company Blue Origin, launched Bezos, his brother Mark Bezos, aviator Wally Funk and eighteen-year-old Oliver Daemen into the cosmos. After landing safely back to Earth, Jeff Bezos could be heard saying inside the capsule that it was the "best day ever". Space.com editor in chief Tariq Malik spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Jeff Bezos and company took a 10 minute space flight and had a press conference after to talk about his experience. Wally funk, Mark Bezos and Oliver Daemen had a chance to share their space experience.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Blue Origin is set to launch their New Shepard rocket to the edge of space with four crew members on board! Jeff Bezos and his brother, Legendary Wally Funk, and 18 year old physics student Oliver Daemen get ready to launch to the edge of space and back. I did my best to cover what I know about Blue Origin in one episode while be honest and pointing out where I am biased. Because if you didn't already know, we're pretty big SpaceX fans here. But that can't stop us from talking about what Blue Origin is doing right and what I wish they would do more of!  the best of luck to the crew tomorrow morning! Here's to another first in the new space race, here's to a safe and successful launch of New Shepard!

JEFF BEZOS, CHINE : LA RUÉE VERS L'ESPACE – 20/07/21 Invités SYLVIE MATELLY Économiste Directrice adjointe de l'IRIS (Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques) ANTHONY BELLANGER Journaliste, spécialiste des questions internationales – « France Inter » FRANÇOIS FORGET Planétologue, directeur de recherche au CNRS Membre de l'Académie des sciences ÉMILIE MARTIN Journaliste scientifique, chef de rubrique – « Ciel et Espace » C'est le nouveau terrain de jeu des milliardaires : l'espace. Neuf jours après Richard Bronson, c'est au tour du fondateur d'Amazon Jeff Bezos de s'élancer ce mardi à bord de sa fusée, créée par son entreprise de tourisme spatial, Blue Origin. Car c'est bien cela l'objectif : ouvrir la voie à un tourisme d'un nouveau genre, et à terme, dit-il, bâtir des colonies spatiales flottantes où des millions de personnes pourraient travailler et vivre. Pour l'heure, l'homme le plus riche du monde accompagné de son frère Marc, de la pionnière de l'aviation Wally Funk, 82 ans, et du premier client payant de Blue Origin, un jeune Néerlandais de 18 ans, Oliver Daemen, vont s'envoler dans l'après-midi depuis le Texas à bord de New Shepard, une véritable fusée qui décolle à la verticale et ira au-delà des 100 kilomètres d'altitude. Après quelques minutes d'apesanteur, la capsule des astronautes reviendra, freinée par des parachutes et grâce à un pilotage automatique. Personne à bord ne pilotera le vaisseau. Une prouesse technologique qui devrait en appeler d'autres. Ce « n'est que le commencement », a ainsi lancé dimanche lors d'une conférence de presse Bob Smith, le directeur général de l'entreprise aérospatiale. Blue Origin prévoit deux autres lancements cette année et « beaucoup d'autres » dès 2022. Mais Jeff Bezos ne veut pas se contenter du tourisme spatial, il veut installer les industries polluantes dans l'espace et laisser la Terre être une planète de résidence et de loisir. Une philosophie différente de celle de son grand rival Elon Musk. Le fondateur de la société SpaceX se joindra à la course à l'espace en septembre avec une expédition orbitale composée uniquement de civils à bord de sa fusée Crew Dragon. SpaceX qui s'est déjà alliée avec l'entreprise Axiom pour emmener des visiteurs à bord de la Station spatiale internationale vient également d'annoncer avoir déployé près de 2.000 satellites capables de proposer une connexion Internet à travers la planète à partir de septembre et entend désormais faire cap sur Mars. D'ici 2025, le patron de SpaceX veut en effet envoyer des milliers de fusées vers Mars pour créer une colonie humaine autonome, seule « bouée de sauvetage de l'humanité ». Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson… Pourquoi les milliardaires se lancent-ils dans la conquête spatiale ? Au-delà de cette guerre des étoiles entre les hommes le plus riches du monde, depuis plusieurs années l'espace extra-atmosphérique (entre 200 et 36.000 km d'altitude), comme le cyberespace, se militarise et devient un « milieu » stratégique majeur où s'affrontent les puissances. Est-ce que la prochaine guerre commencera ou finira dans l'espace ? Quels sont les nouveaux enjeux géopolitiques de cette course à l'espace ? Enfin qu'est-ce que le projet Starlink ?

Pedro Castillo has finally been declared the winner of the presidential race. Dr. Jemima Pierre, associate professor of Black Studies and Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and editor of the "Black Agenda Review," joins us to talk about Haiti. Many of the people of Haiti said the past two administrations could have helped their country's inner turmoil and did nothing, so the U.S.'s new offers to do "something is no longer welcome in Port-au-Prince."Ajamu Baraka, former VP candidate for the Green Party, joins us to discuss A Responsible Statecraft article that said the US must stop supporting "forever presidents" in Africa. The article also suggests that prospective trade, aid and security assistance should be positioned to address anti-democratic leaders in the continent.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss Iraq. Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi spoke about his upcoming visit to Washington and said that while the upcoming visit to Washington will put an end to the presence of US combat troops in Iraq, there is still a need for continued US training, air force, and intelligence support.Jim Kavanagh, writer at thepolemicist.com and Counter Punch, joins us to talk about the Julian Assange case. The US is on "shaky constitutional ground" with their espionage indictment of Assange so they are counting on a computer intrusion charge to stick in hopes to portray Assange as a hacker and not a journalist providing facts.Author and activist Miko Peled reports on Ben & Jerry's boycott of selling ice cream in Israeli settlements in the occupied territories. Ben & Jerry's announced the boycott yesterday, saying that the sale of its products in the West Bank and East Jerusalem was "inconsistent with their values."
