Kerry Wisnosky believes the future of space power will be decided by maneuverability. As satellites remain largely static, Quantum Space is building the infrastructure to move, persist, and operate across orbits, from LEO to cislunar space.The company is developing Ranger, a six-metric-ton, high-delta-V spacecraft designed to operate for up to 15 years, host and deploy payloads, maneuver freely between orbits, and function as a refueling node. By combining chemical and electric propulsion into a single multimode system, Quantum aims to deliver both high-impulse mobility and long-duration efficiency—turning spacecraft from disposable assets into persistent infrastructure.Inside the episode:Why space remains a static domain and why maneuverability is the next decisive advantageHow Ranger reframes satellites from disposable assets into long-lived infrastructureThe strategic importance of fuel in orbit and why refueling changes mission economicsWhy multimode propulsion is the “holy grail” for mobility across orbitsHow life extension in GEO becomes the first commercial wedgeWhat zone defense in space could mean for missile defense architecturesWhy Quantum was early to the market and why demand is finally catching up • Chapters •00:00 – Intro00:45 – From Millennium to Quantum Space02:56 – Key products at Millennium03:57 – Evolution of Quantum's vision over the years06:34 – Ranger13:41 – 15 years of operational life16:22 – Acquiring Phase Four22:25 – Orbital mobility23:37 – Ranger doubling as a fuel depot25:51 – Target customers for Ranger30:52 – Interceptors in space for Golden Dome33:52 – Quantum Space's competitive edge35:27 – Are other maneuverability companies viewing the problem the wrong way?37:18 – Quantum Space's launches39:24 – What does success look like for Quantum's first Ranger mission?40:21 – Scaling and manufacturing43:53 – Why should talent work at Quantum?45:14 – Quantum Space in 5 years47:35 – What did Kerry not expect while building Quantum?48:49 – When is Quantum's next launch? • Show notes •Quantum Space's website — https://www.quantumspace.us/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

-Orbital tracking company LeoLabs assessed that the issue was caused by an "internal energetic source rather than a collision with space debris or another object." SpaceX said it's working with NASA and the US Space Force to track the remains of the object. -Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Honda will suspend production in Japan on January 5 and 6. (Honda didn't specify the affected factories.) In addition, all three of the automaker's Guangqi Honda Automobile plants in China will shut down from December 29 to January 2. -Gizmodo noticed that Trump Mobile is selling these other brands' phones for the same cost, or sometimes more, than the same refurbs from other retailers. Seems pretty par for the course. NBC News opted to order one of the T1 phones in August to track its development. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Orbital FX: Inside the World of Practical Effects, Prop Building & the Future of Filmmaking
Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: What is orbital compartment syndrome, and how is it assessed in the emergency room? Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is an emergent ophthalmic condition in which intraorbital pressure in the orbital compartment rises dramatically, compromising perfusion of the optic nerve and retina, leading to risk of irreversible vision loss. OCS occurs in the context of traumatic lesions with retrobulbar hemorrhage. Intraocular pressures (IOP) are measured via tonometry as a surrogate for intraorbital pressures, with emergent pathology being present when IOP exceeds 30-40 mmHg (normal being around 20 mmHg). What might be some physical exam findings beyond increased IOP for orbital compartment syndrome? Proptosis (physical outward protrusion of eye) with resistance to being pushed posterior. Afferent pupillary defect (when the non-impacted eye has light shown into it, the impacted eye will have pupillary constriction, and when light is removed it will begin to dilate, but when light is shown into the impacted eye, it will not constrict and continue to dilate). Generalized complaints of vision loss or an inability to move the eye. What is the treatment for orbital compartment syndrome? Lateral canthotomy must be performed immediately upon clinical suspicion as permanent vision loss can occur within minutes to hours. Lateral canthotomy Step-by Step: Ideally have the patient sedated or highly cooperative. Numb and vasoconstrict the surrounding eye/orbital skin tissue with lidocaine and epinephrine. Take hemostats and clamp the interior and exterior eyelid at the lateral canthus at a 90º angle towards the orbital rim for 30-60 seconds to further devascularize the region. Take iris scissors and cut laterally to the orbital bone/rim to reveal the lateral lanthal tendon. Cut the inferior crus of the lateral lanthal tendon as this will provide the most significant reduction in IOP. Reassess IOP during each step of the procedure to measure procedure efficacy. If no pressure reduction is noted with inferior cantholysis, cutting the superior crus of the lateral canthal tendon may be required to further allow the eye to bulge out and reduce intraorbital pressure. Big takeaways? Ocular compartment syndrome is a rare but emergent vision threatening condition that requires immediate lateral canthotomy to reduce intraocular and intraorbital pressures. Lateral canthotomy done within 30-60 minutes of symptom development can save the patient from permanent vision loss. References: Mohammadi F, Rashan A, Psaltis A, et al.

In late November 2025, Taiwan marked a significant milestone with the successful launch of the first satellite in the Formosat-8 constellation. Carried into a 561-km sun-synchronous orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9, the “Chi Po-lin” satellite symbolizes both technical progress and cultural meaning, extending the late filmmaker's aerial perspective of Taiwan into space. This mission inaugurates Taiwan's first domestically built high-resolution Earth-observation constellation. FORMOSAT-8 will eventually consist of eight satellites deployed between 2025 and 2031. With native 1-meter resolution—improving to roughly 70 centimeters for two advanced units—the constellation will provide multiple daily revisits over Taiwan. Importantly, about 84% of each satellite's core components are manufactured in Taiwan, covering optics, structures, propulsion, and electronics. This demonstrates the country's ambition to develop a self-reliant industrial base for space technologies. The episode also explores the broader global landscape. The value of the global space economy reached USD 570 billion in 2023 and is projected to exceed USD 1 trillion within the decade. Reusable rockets from SpaceX and Blue Origin, mega-constellations such as Starlink and OneWeb, and commercial imaging companies like Planet Labs and ICEYE are reshaping how nations communicate, observe Earth, and respond to climate and security challenges. In this episode, we examine what Formosat-8 means for Taiwan's space capabilities, how global players are redefining the space economy, and why satellite technology is becoming essential infrastructure for connectivity, environmental monitoring, disaster response, and national security. Taiwan's emerging participation in this ecosystem reflects both technological ambition and a strategic need for resilience in an increasingly complex world. 2025 年 11 月底,臺灣太空發展迎來重要進展。福衛八號首顆衛星搭載 SpaceX Falcon 9 成功進入 561 公里太陽同步軌道,正式啟動臺灣第一組自製高解析度遙測衛星星座。以導演齊柏林命名的首枚衛星象徵「從空中看臺灣」的精神延伸至太空,也展現臺灣提升自主太空能力的決心。 福衛八號採「6+2」配置,從 2025 至 2031 年將部署八顆衛星,其原生解析度達 1 公尺,部分可提升至約 70 公分,並具備每日多次回訪臺灣的能力。約 84% 的技術與零組件由臺灣研發製造,涵蓋光學、結構、推進與電子系統,意味著本土太空產業正逐步形成完整供應鏈。 本集節目也將延伸至全球脈動。2023 年全球太空經濟規模已達 5,700 億美元,預估本世代內有望突破 1 兆美元。從 SpaceX、Blue Origin 的可重複使用火箭,到 Starlink、OneWeb 的全球通訊網,再到 Planet Labs 與 ICEYE 的商業遙測服務,太空已成為通訊、氣候、國安與產業韌性的核心基礎設施。 在這集節目中,我們帶你理解福衛八號的技術進展、全球太空產業的競逐,以及臺灣如何藉由自主研發與國際合作,在新興太空經濟中建立關鍵角色。 Powered by Firstory Hosting

Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1862

En vingt ans, neuf albums et un hors-série, le dessinateur Serge Pellé et le scénariste Sylvain Runberg ont fait grandir leur space opera conçu entre la Suède et l'Indre-et-Loire. Le charme des dessins, l'exigence des histoires, la profondeur des personnages ainsi que la qualité intrinsèque de l'univers font de cette saga interstellaire un incontournable. Invasion extraterrestre, guerre galactique, exploration planétaire… « Orbital fait partie des premiers projets que j'ai écrits en me lançant dans la bande dessinée, confie Sylvain Runberg, auteur désormais très expérimenté. La genèse a débuté suite à ma lecture des trois premiers tomes du Cycle de la Culture de Iain M. Banks. Cette série, qui raconte les agissements dans l'ombre d'un groupe de forces spéciales au service d'une société utopique, traite avec beaucoup d'habileté des questions géopolitiques. Je me revois encore terminer L'Homme des jeux et me dire que j'aimerais inventer des récits avec ce genre d'angle. Au final, la BD n'a rien à voir avec la saga de Banks, mais c'est vraiment cette lecture-là qui m'a donné envie de faire cette bande dessinée. » L'influence de Iain M. Banks reste quand même bien présente. Basés sur la station Orbital et travaillant pour l'Office diplomatique intermondial. Caleb Swany et Mézoké Izzua doivent résoudre les crises et apporter la paix sur des planètes en tout genre. Le lecteur suit ainsi les aventures rythmées de deux super diplomates proches d'un autre couple mythique de la bande dessinée de science-fiction, Valérian et Laureline, dont ils sont les dignes héritiers. Le duo va cependant quitter, au fur et à mesure des albums, les vêtements des héros de Christin et Mézières pour enfiler les costumes de personnages touchés par la tragédie. Leurs blessures et leurs émotions sont révélées dans des récits toujours plus ambitieux riches en complots, décès et trahisons. La série est loin d'être un long fleuve tranquille. « Quand on évoque la diplomatie et la géopolitique, il est rare de voir un happy end, précise Sylvain Runberg. Je suis assez attaché à ce que mes albums possèdent une certaine dose de réalisme. » On a tendance à l'oublier mais Mézoké, de la race Sandjarr, est aussi un des premiers personnages non genré de l'histoire de la bande dessinée. Orbital (nom directement inspiré d'un duo britannique faisant de la musique électronique qu'affectionne particulièrement Sylvain) ne serait rien sans le talent graphique de Serge Pellé. Dans sa façon d'imaginer ses aliens, ses planètes et surtout ses scènes d'action, le dessinateur a magnifié la série. « J'ai gardé ce que j'avais appris dans le dessin animé, notamment les poses des personnages. Le début et la fin du geste occupent deux cases. Ce procédé dynamique amorce surtout quelque chose dans la tête du lecteur, qui imagine lui-même les mouvements que tu ne montres pas. Cette technique d'animation est très efficace et j'essaye de séquencer toutes mes scènes d'action de la sorte. Il ne faut pas oublier que l'on a peu de place dans un album. On doit arriver à donner un mouvement. Transcender la séquence reste mon objectif principal. » Celui qui réalise de multiples croquis pour préparer chaque aventure a réussi à faire évoluer graphiquement Orbital, repoussant ses limites. « On ressent des variations de couleurs beaucoup plus grandes si l'on regarde les premiers albums car j'ai remplacé les feutres par l'encre directement. »Hébergé par Ausha.

Brandon Weichert analyzes the growing threat of space warfare, referencing Russia's satellites shadowing German intelligence satellites and the Sino-Russian "no limits partnership." He explains that co-orbital satellites can render ground forces "deaf, dumb and blind." Weichert suggests developing small, cheap "bodyguard satellites" alongside France to protect sensitive US military constellations, acknowledging that space technology is inherently dual-use. 1941

For this week's very special episode on Rational Security's 10th anniversary, Scott sat down with a slew of co-hosts emeritus, each of whom brought their own topic to discuss.Shane Harris flagged the connections between online radicalization and the young men behind many recent public acts of gun violence, including the alleged perpetrator of the Charlie Kirk killing;Benjamin Wittes insisted we are STILL not talking enough about Russian drone incursions and other forms of gray zone warfare in Eastern Europe;Quinta Jurecic brought some statistics about the success (or not) of the Trump administration's federalization of law enforcement in D.C. (and elsewhere) that are worth contemplating; andAlan Rozenshtein asked how it can still be true that no one but him seems to care about the Trump administration blatantly disregarding the TikTok ban.In object lessons, Shane is basking in the glory of HBO's “Somebody Somewhere”—partly because his buddy Jeff Hiller just won an Emmy for his role in it. Ben praises Adam Boehler—and even Donald Trump—for helping secure Elizabeth Tsurkov's release. Alan is definitely not using this opportunity to use Pacific Rim for his object lesson—really—instead recommending fantasy mystery “The Tainted Cup,” by Robert Jackson Bennett. Scott takes us into orbit with Samantha Harvey's “Orbital,” a lyrical meditation on life and reflection in space. And Quinta dives into the future with “Empire of AI,” by Karen Hao, a deeply reported look at OpenAI and its role in shaping the technology's trajectoryLast call to help us celebrate Lawfare's 15th anniversary!

HACK THE PLANET!Thirty years ago, that was the catchphrase for a high-energy youth culture movie focusing on a diverse crew of good-looking, well-dressed, "teenage" hackers in New York City. All these kids wanna do via modems and computers is to have fun....until they discover a criminal conspiracy with plans to use a computer virus which eventually result in an ecological disaster. Directed by Iain Softely (Backbeat, K-Pax, The Skeleton Key), this techno-fueled romp eventually became a cult classic powered by its danceable soundtrack (Massive Attack, Prodigy, Orbital) and its cast of up-and-comers including Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Jesse Bradford, Laurence Mason, and Matthew Lillard. So let's rewind back to a specific time AND place....when the only options available for enterprising youth....were to Boot Up or Shut Up!Host: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
In August we performed a live taping of the show from a theater perched on the edge of Manhattan, overlooking the Hudson River, overshadowed by the wide open night sky. Three stories about voids. One about a fish that screams into the night – and the mystery of its counterpart that doesn't. Another about a group of women who gazed at the night sky and taught us just how vast the universe is, and a third about a man who talk to aliens – and the people who tell him he's putting human civilization at risk by doing so. Finally, we turn back to Earth with the help of a reading from Samantha Harvey's hit novel Orbital (https://zpr.io/RNi4sY2JVKxK) performed by the artist, actor and podcast host Helga Davis (https://zpr.io/TKGuzzDFnVjN). What does it mean to stand on the edge of a void, and what happens when you scream into it, or choose not to?This episode was originally produced and developed in front of a live audience by Little Island, Producing Artistic Director Zack Winokur, Executive Director Laura Clement.
