This week we speak with Dr. Mike Wall, ace space reporter from Space.com, about Starship's recent test flight. What went right, what went wrong, and what are the prospects for Elon's mammoth rocket meeting NASA's goals for a moon landing in 2027? Also, Musk's recent video outlining future plans for Starship and a Martian metropolis, Chinese company Sepoch's recent (and very Starship-like) vertical launch and landing test, Japan's robotic lander, Resilience, about to attempt a lunar touchdown, and roadside assistance for the Psyche asteroid mission. See this and more on This Week in Space! Headlines New Dwarf Planet Discovery: Scientists at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton have identified a new dwarf planet with an orbit over 16 times the size of Earth's. Its closest approach to the Sun is 44.5 times Earth's orbit, similar to Pluto's orbit, placing it far out in the Oort cloud. While exciting, this object, named 2017 OF, is not Planet Nine because its mass doesn't align with the perturbations observed in other objects. NASA's Psyche Mission Update: NASA's Psyche spacecraft experienced a fuel pressure glitch requiring a switch to a backup propellant line for its Hall effect thruster. Engineers successfully restored pressure, and the mission is still on track to arrive at the metallic asteroid Psyche in 2029. This mission is crucial as Psyche is believed to be the stripped-away core of an ancient proto-planet, offering insights into planet formation. China's Reusable Rocket Advancements: Chinese rocket manufacturer Space Epoch successfully performed a vertical ascent and controlled vertical descent test of a booster stage, similar to SpaceX's Falcon 9 landings. The stainless steel rocket successfully soft-landed in the waters off Hainan Island, demonstrating advanced gimballing for stable landing. Main Topic - Starship Flight 9 Test Recap: SpaceX's Starship Test Flight 9 was deemed a partial success. The Super Heavy booster was reflown for the first time, demonstrating reusability and performing well despite an experimental hard ocean splashdown that resulted in an explosion six minutes into flight. The Ship upper stage reached space and the desired trajectory, an improvement over previous flights, but failed to deploy dummy Starlink satellites or perform an in-space relight due to an attitude control anomaly, possibly a fuel leak. SpaceX's Ambitious Starship Plans: Elon Musk outlined plans for Starship Version 3, envisioned as the first fully mature version capable of Mars missions, rapid reuse, and in-orbit refueling. The long-term goal includes sending thousands of Starships and hundreds of people to Mars to establish a self-sustaining city. Lunar Starship for Artemis Missions: There's ongoing discussion about the number of tanker flights required for a lunar mission, with estimates ranging from 8 to 12, even 16 flights. The timeline for Artemis III in 2027 is a concern, given the need for numerous refueling missions and the development of life support systems for crewed flights, which are currently absent in the Starship test vehicles. Competition in Lunar Landers: While SpaceX is developing Lunar Starship, Blue Origin is also a strong contender with its Blue Moon lander, which is China These show notes have been truncated due to length.

When did humans first think of aliens? Why is Oort cloud a sphere when the Solar System is a disk? Which space image is my favourite? And in our Q&A+ on patreon, is search for life only limited to looking for water? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.
Trillions of icy bodies mark the edge of the solar system. They form a shell that extends one or two light-years from the Sun in every direction. A passing star may sometimes give some of them a nudge toward the Sun. When they get here, they become comets – visitors from the icy deep. That distant region is known as the Oort Cloud. It’s named for Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, who was born 125 years ago today. He proposed the existence of the cloud in 1950. And today, that’s his best-known accomplishment. Yet it’s far from his most important work. Early in his career, he confirmed that the Milky Way is a wide, flat, spinning disk. And he showed that, instead of inhabiting the center of the galaxy, the solar system is in the hinterlands – many thousands of light-years outside the heart. Oort spent most of his career at Leiden University in the Netherlands, including decades as director of Leiden Observatory. When Germany invaded the country, though, he left his post instead of working with the Nazis. When he returned, after World War II, he became a pioneer in the new field of radio astronomy. He mapped giant clouds of gas and dust throughout the galaxy. Their distribution provided even more proof of his picture of the Milky Way. Oort continued his research until shortly before his death, in 1992. Scientists have named quite a few things in his honor, including an asteroid – and the icy shell known as the Oort Cloud.

Hosts: RA George (Blockchain DXB) Markose Chentittha (Oort Foundation + Society X) Episode Overview:Join us for this week's Unfiltered Chat, where we dive into the most pressing topics in crypto, blockchain, and AI. This episode features a detailed discussion on CPI numbers, inflation, crypto market updates, regulatory insights, and groundbreaking industry developments. 1. CPI Numbers & Inflation Inflation increased to 2.9%, slightly higher than the expected 2.8%. Consumer prices show upward momentum, triggering discussions on potential Fed interest rate reductions. Analogy: The economy, like a weak patient, may need another dose of medicine (interest rate cuts). Will this happen on January 29 or in February? 2. Gary Gensler's Exit Interview Advocated for Bitcoin as fundamentally strong, contrasting with sentiment-driven "shitcoins." Acknowledged broader SEC responsibilities like ESG, climate change, and DEI policies. Discussed the SEC's partial win in the Coinbase lawsuit and the lack of clear crypto regulations. 3. Ripple & SEC: The Trump and Obama Years Former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton sued Ripple, labeling XRP a security. Under Obama, the CFTC classified Bitcoin as a commodity in 2015. Should the CFTC take charge of crypto regulation? 4. Tether's Relocation to El Salvador Tether aligns with El Salvador's Bitcoin-centric economy for innovation and operational flexibility. Is launching a UAE Dirham-backed stablecoin a good idea for expats? We explore its potential impact on expat communities from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. 5. BlackRock Insights Bitcoin adoption is faster than mobile phones and the internet, achieving 300 million users in just 12 years. Blockchain DXB's take: Compare Bitcoin adoption with rapid-growth metrics like ChatGPT, Threads, and TikTok for a balanced perspective. 6. Crypto Market Update DApps volume analysis from DappRadar shows mixed results. Raydium numbers are puzzling. Stablecoin volumes surged before CPI numbers, signaling increased crypto activity without selling pressure. Key Advice: Track stablecoin volumes and 24-hour trading volumes to gauge market trends. 7. Updates from Markose & RA George Markose: Oort Foundation's upcoming Twitter Spaces and developments. RA George: Relai and DAMAC Group interviews on AI, tokenization, and more. Inflation Data: BLS CPI Numbers Gary Gensler's Exit Interview: CNBC Video BlackRock Market Insights: Insights Publication DApp Statistics: DappRadar Rankings Podcast Closing NotesWe appreciate our listeners for tuning into this week's Unfiltered Chat.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2024! 27Audpopesp5D - 1227 - Astronomía: Cuando nos apedrean las estrellas - Se cree que la nube de Oort puede albergar varios billones de cuerpos de más de 1.3 kilómetros de diámetro y quinientos mil millones con una magnitud absoluta menor a +10.9 (cuanto menor es el valor, mayor es el brillo). A pesar del número tan elevado de cuerpos, cada uno de ellos estaría separado en promedio varias decenas de millones de kilómetros con respecto al más cercano. La masa de la nube de Oort no se sabe con certeza, pero si se toma el cometa Halley como prototipo de objeto de la nube exterior, se estima que la masa sería de 3 × 10 elevado a 25 kg, unas cinco veces la de la Tierra. Anteriormente se pensaba que su masa podría llegar a ser hasta trescientas ochenta veces la masa terrestre,16 pero nuestra comprensión de la distribución de tamaños de los cometas de período largo ha reducido las estimaciones. Actualmente la masa de la nube de Oort interior continúa siendo desconocida. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 118*Dark Matter May Be Experiencing Forces Beyond GravityA groundbreaking new study suggests that dark matter, the elusive substance making up 85% of the universe's matter, may interact through forces other than gravity. Using observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have found that dark matter particles might experience additional forces, providing crucial new insights into their nature. The findings challenge the long-held collisionless cold dark matter model, opening new avenues for understanding the universe's most perplexing component.*Rare Naked Eye Comet Visible from EarthSkywatchers have a unique opportunity to witness the rare comet C/2023 A3 (Shushani Atlas) with the naked eye. Discovered by the Purple Mountain Observatory and the Atlas system, this comet is currently visible just before sunrise near the eastern horizon. On an 80,000-year journey from the Oort cloud, it is expected to become even brighter after passing close to the Sun, potentially reaching a magnitude of 2.5.*Humans on Mars by 2028?Former US President Donald Trump has announced an ambitious plan to send humans to Mars by 2028, eight years ahead of current schedules. This bold statement comes as Trump hints at discussions with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to use the company's Starship for the mission. While the Artemis programme aims to return humans to the Moon by 2026, Trump's proposal could significantly accelerate human exploration of the Red Planet.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com
We talk to a returning guest and friend of the show, science fiction author Edward M. Lerner, about his latest book 'On The Shoals of Space-Time', on the topic of First Contact. Ed is a fount of scientific insight and information on space science and the possibilities for extraterrestrial encounters, having written 25 books – 5 of them with the legendary author Larry Niven, of Ringworld fame – many of which explore themes First Contact with extraterrestrials, as well as future scientific advancement that would be necessary for interstellar travel. In this interview we discuss a number of his books, we talk about fusion and anti-matter, electromagnetic bottles, the Albercurrie drive for warping space-time to get around the speed limit of light, and neutrino communications. We also discuss the Prime Directive, the Drake equation, the Fermi Paradox, scientific revolutions and evolutions, stealth technologies, and alien monitoring stations keeping an eye on Earth in the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud. That's quite a lot! So if you like to dig deeper into the real science and big ideas in your science fiction, this conversation is a veritable treasury of insights and learning that will help you get more out of the science fiction you read and watch.Edward M.

At 21, Mieke Oort left Massachusetts after graduating high school to pursue her college education in the Netherlands. Like many college students, she was embracing this new chapter—immersed in learning, exploring, making friends, and dating. However, her life took a tragic turn when she connected with a man on Tinder. After a few dates, Mieke decided not to continue seeing him, but he began stalking her and, on March 6, 2022, brutally murdered her. The case, which became widely known as the "Tinder Murder" in the Netherlands, stands out because unlike many other cases, we know what happened to Mieke, and her killer was apprehended. I believe this case is important to highlight because many young people travel abroad to study, often unaware of the potential dangers they might face. Listen as we dive into the Netherlands, the case of Mieke Oort, and how to stay alive on vacation.
