This is a special audio interview for all listeners! As there was no Spotlight interview earlier this year, I have produced this 'extra' Spotlight for the month of May. I hope you enjoy it. :)David W. Kim (PhD: University of Sydney) is a Honorary Lecturer at the School of History and the Research School of Social Sciences (RSSS), Australian National University, a Mission Specialist at the ANU Institute for Space, and a Visiting Scholar, Harvard University, USA (2023-2024). He is a Board Member for UNESCO World Heritage Committee, Korea Government, an Associate Professor at Kookmin University, Seoul, and a NASA Judge for the Human Research Program (HRP), Johnson Space Center Huston, USA.Professor Kim, a Fellow of The Royal Historical Society (UK) and The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britian and Ireland, has conducted a new study on the selection criteria for future Mars astronauts (2033) in conjunction with the Human Research Program (HRP), which remains an open question in the Mars exploration project as part of the Korea Research Foundation's long-term project (2022- 2025) in the field of integration of space science and humanities, as a result of a research visit to Harvard University and NASA Houston, human factors, astrobiology, astrophysics, life sciences, space politics, security, space exploration, and space well-being, and has been recognized as a pioneering study among scholars in the field. In this interview, Dr. Kim first discusses the phenomenon known as the ‘Overview Effect', a profound cognitive shift that astronauts experience when they see Earth from space. It's described as a state of wonderment and self-transformation that occurs upon witnessing the Earth as a fragile, interconnected whole. Many astronauts report feeling an overwhelming sense of unity, beauty, and a newfound appreciation for humanity and the environment. He then moves on to discuss his article, “Mars Space Exploration and Astronautical Religion in Human Research History: Psychological Countermeasures of Long-Term Astronauts” from 2022 in the journal Aerospace. He expands on the challenges and issues that arise when considering long-term space travel (of at least 3 years), such as radiation, zero-gravity, isolation, confinement, the distance from Earth, and emergencies that could arise, as well as the potential for an “astronautical religion” to help mitigate or prevent these challenges.

This hour, Ian Hoch shares a list of celebrities that he'd like to see shot into space. Then, Adam Frank, professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester and author of "The Little Book of Aliens," joins the show to talk about low-Earth orbit space flights.
Andrew Parris, Broadcast Television Engineer and Space Communicator, joins Beth from the Cape for a long-overdue chat about life behind the lens at NASA and beyond. With over four decades in broadcast television and thirteen action-packed years at NASA, Andrew shares his extraordinary journey—from diving with astronauts and filming space shuttle landings, to flying on NASA's "Weightless Wonder." Andrew's passion for space never fizzled, and today, he's helping others chase their own cosmic dreams through The Inspired 24, a group he co-founded to expand access to the space experience and the Overview Effect. In this episode, Beth and Andrew launch into memories of SCUBA dives at the WETF, share laughs about zero-G adventures gone sideways (literally), and open up about the emotional impact of witnessing spaceflight tragedies firsthand. Andrew also walks us through his recent work with AstroAccess, supporting inclusive microgravity flights, and Copernic Space, sending stories and digital mementos to the Moon. You'll hear about the human moments behind the missions, the stories you don't see on screen, and the joyful chaos of bridging the technical with the emotional in NASA's most public-facing roles. Andrew's reflections—equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and humbling—remind us that space exploration isn't just about rockets and research. It's about people, passion, and persistence. More about Andrew Parris: Andrew Parris is a 3-time Technical Emmy award-winning Broadcast Television Engineer, space communicator, and Commercial Astronaut-in-training. He spent 13 years at NASA's Dryden and Johnson Space Centers supporting shuttle and ISS missions, astronaut training, and global documentation efforts—including trips to Russia and the Baikonur Cosmodrome. After his NASA years, he helped launch the first all-HDTV network with Mark Cuban and directed live coverage of STS-114's launch and landing. Today, he leads The Inspired 24 community, volunteers at Space Center Houston, and partners with space-forward orgs like Copernic Space, MoonDAO, and AstroAccess. He's flown multiple commercial zero-G flights and is preparing for a stratospheric balloon mission with World View in 2026. Want to connect with Andrew or join The Inspired 24?

If you've ever wondered what the view from the International Space Station might look like in real-time, this is your episode. Or if you just want to know more about who's up there and what's going on at the ISS on a particular day, this is it. Liam Kennedy, the one and only Space TV Director, is with us. Liam has been working to bring content and video from the ISS down to earth for over a decade, and it's all come together just this year! Liam invented ISS Above, a Raspberry Pi-driven system that highlights key information about the space station in real-time. Join us for this special look at the view from on high! Headlines: NASA is cutting $420 million in contracts, as confirmed by NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens. Boeing Starliner's next crewed launch was delayed to late 2025 / early 2026 due to ongoing helium leaks and thruster issues. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo mission (CRS-22) was canceled after the spacecraft was damaged during shipping; it will be rescheduled to CRS-23 in the fall. Historic FRAM 2 mission launching March 31 - first human spaceflight over Earth's poles, financed by Maltese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang. The Blue Origin launch date with Katy Perry, the first all-female mission since Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight, is set for April 14. A partial solar eclipse will be visible over northern US and Canada on March 29. Main Topic - Interview with Liam Kennedy Liam Kennedy's space journey began at age 6, watching the Apollo 11 moon landing, leading to becoming president of Orange County Astronomers and developing ways for the public to experience the Overview Effect. ISS Above is a Raspberry Pi device created in 2013 that tracks the ISS and lights up when it passes overhead, and is now in 5,000 locations worldwide. Kennedy partnered with SEN, founded by Charles Black, to create high-quality 4K cameras for the ISS after NASA's HDEV camera system stopped transmitting in 2019. SEN provides free live streaming of Earth from space via YouTube and SEN.com, generating revenue through advertising and clip licensing. The Space TV camera system includes six cameras on the Columbus module of the ISS, showcasing docking ports, Earth views, and the horizon. Space TV offers dramatically higher quality than NASA's existing cameras and captured stunning 4K footage of Boeing Starliner's undocking and Crew Dragon flights. SEN plans to expand with more cameras and locations, including potential deployment on future commercial space stations and lunar missions. Kennedy discusses the "Overview Effect" - how seeing Earth from space creates a transformative perspective that inspires action on Earth. The ISS Above Experience will be featured at the Space Symposium to celebrate the 25th anniversary of continuous human presence on the ISS.

[Urdu Subtitles are available] There is often an idealism associated with space. However, space agencies and space companies, from the beginning have been engaged in dual-use technology - the same technology that can be used for going into space, is also used for war here on Earth. This has been true for the ongoing war in Gaza as well. Our guest today, Sahba El-Shawa, argues that we need to separate these two out and preserve the idealism of space exploration for the benefit of humanity. Sahba El-Shawa is a Jordanian-Canadian interdisciplinary researcher and social entrepreneur originally from Palestine. She is the Founder of the Jordan Space Research Initiative, which aims to bridge sustainable development with space exploration and establish an analog research facility in Jordan.Sahba holds a BASc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia, an MSc in Space Studies from the International Space University, and is now pursuing her PhD in Sustainable Development and Climate Change at IUSS Pavia in Italy. Her PhD research centers around the neuropsychological basis of the Overview Effect, and how making it more accessible using Virtual Reality can help drive sustainable behaviour on Earth.You can find her article, A Palestinian Perspective on Space, Ethics, and Human Rights, here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ethics-human-rights-space-palestinian-perspective-sahba-el-shawa-ekamf/For more information about Kainaat Studios:https://www.kainaatstudios.comHost: Salman Hameed has a PhD in astronomy and is Charles Taylor Chair of Integrated Science & Humanities at Hampshire College and a member of the Five College Astronomy Department (FCAD) in Massachusetts, USA. He is also the CEO of the non-profit Kainaat Studios
Tis the season of failed resolutions and unaccomplished goals. So, how can we turn that bummer and those defeats into growth? Dive deep with us as we explore why many resolutions fail: unrealistic goals and a lack of meaningful connection. Learn about the 'Overview Effect,' a concept borrowed from astronauts who experience profound shifts in perspective while gazing at Earth from space. We'll also discuss how to zoom out from the messy details that can keep us overwhelmed, connect more deeply with our goals, and grow from our challenges instead of getting bogged down by them.

From down here on Earth, life on the International Space Station seems magnificent: floating through the day, enjoying stunning views out your window, having an experience only a handful of other people will ever get.But what's it really like to live up there? How does experiencing 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every day change your perception of time? How do you cope with being so far from the people you love?Those are some of the questions explored in the novel Orbital, which won the Booker Prize late last year. In the book, author Samantha Harvey imagines the inner life of astronauts aboard the ISS.Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Samantha Harvey, along with astronaut Dr. Cady Coleman, who spent almost six months on the Space Station, and is an author herself. They talk about the unexpected mundanities of living in space, how Harvey was inspired to write the book during lockdown, and how astronauts make sense of their new reality when separated from the rest of humanity.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

"The state of man's mind or the elementary phase of mind which he so far possesses conforms precisely to the state of the world as he so far views it." - George Wilhelm HegelAuthor, coach, consultant, and founder of Astranaut, and a soon-to-be leader in the civilian space game Shannon Graham is our guest today and we're going beyond Earth's gravity for this one. Shannon and Jay are discussing the rise in ability to send civilians to space and the rise in people's desires to go, what The Overview Effect is and how it can be more broadly applied to making the world a better place, and the relationship that develops when you hire a coach. We hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast because it truly is...out of this world.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode touches on topics related to suicide. If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts or feeling overwhelmed, support is available. Call or text 988 — it's a free, confidential help line available 24/7. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and we want you to be here. You matter.By nature, humans are drawn to the edge of existence. We hear that unsettling whisper, beckoning us toward danger, and we feel tempted to tip-toe toward it. "The Call of the Void" is a strange and primal phenomenon — thoughts of self-destruction that pop in our minds seemingly out of nowhere — from the urge to jump off a great height or the sudden desire to swerve into oncoming traffic. It's ominous. But it's not as scary as you might think. Here's the paradox: The Call of the Void is not about wanting to die; it's about appreciating what it means to feel alive. These thoughts are a reminder of the pulse of life. It's a way we feel our mortality and sharpen our existence.In this episode, we walk the fine line between intuition and impulse to discover how risk-taking behaviors can be a gateway to spiritual transformation. Risky endeavors can lead us to a "flow state" where we deepen our connection to the universe, leading to peak experiences and even mystical revelations. Are we wired to crave risk as part of our spiritual journey? And what happens when we ignore that inner voice — when we let fear and self-doubt stagnate our potential? We learn from these moments on the edge, when chaos gives way to creation. You are here for a reason, and sometimes, following that gut instinct — even if it feels a little risky — is exactly how you'll feel closer to your purpose. The universe has a collective field of ideas, and if you don't act on that pull toward something extraordinary, someone else will. When the Call of the Void rings, will you take time to listen a little deeper? Or will you be left wondering what could have been?*****************************************Questions / Journal Prompts / Meditations:What's your flow state?When do you find yourself feeling captivated by other people who are in their own flow state or engaging in behaviors you might think are risky? How does watching them make you feel? Why do you think you're captivated by them? What do you want the most in life, and what risks might you need to take to achieve those goals? If you don't know you want, ask yourself what you're afraid of and explore those fears. Chances are, if you get honest about what scares you, you'll be led to revelations about what you want the most.*****************************************Episode Resources:Movie: ThelmaSong: "Heat Death (The End of Everything)" by Sophia JamesBook: "The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)" by Katie MackBook: "Sensation Seeking: Beyond the Optimal Level of Arousal" by Marvin ZuckermanBook: "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly CsilkszentmihalyiBook: "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" by Carl JungBook: "Religions, Values, and Peak-Experiences" by Abraham MaslowBook: "Adventure Therapy: Theory, Research and Practice" by Gass, Gillis & RussellBook: "Chaos: Making A New Science" by James GleickArticle: "Do You Have The Adventure Gene?"Article: "The Confidence/Competence Loop"Study: "An Urge to Jump Affirms the Urge to Live"*****************************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website
Today I'm taking us on a space, art and space-art journey. Because, I've been thinking about how when William Shatner recently went up to space in Bezos' rocket, he saw in real life what he had always pretended to see on TV: space and the final frontier. But to his shock and horror, he...sort of hated it: At least he hated the outer space view. He quaked in the face of all that vast emptiness and ended up with a new appreciation for our warm "Mother" Earth. I.e. "Beam me down, Scotty." And in this way, I think an artist could adopt a William Shatner in Space ideology: and try to appreciate the gifts we each have right now (time, space, adequate health, and freedom to create), versus caving into the dark matter horrors of compare & despair, and worry over not achieving the right career benchmarks. Artists/Works mentioned: "The Creation of the World and the Expulsion from Paradise" by Giovanni di Paolo (1445), "Galaxy (Hydra)" Vija Celmins (1974), "The Moon Museum" Robert Rauschenberg, David Novros, John Chamberlain, Claes Oldenburg, Forrest Myers and Andy Warhol (Possibly sent on the Apollo 12 Moon Mission-1969), "The Wave" by Astronaut, Nicole Stott (2009) William Shatner's book: "Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder" Frank White's book: "The Overview Effect" More about Astronaut, Nicole Stott's first-ever painting in space: http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-070816b-astronaut-artist-nicole-stott.html More about The Moon Museum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Museum Thank you for listening!

Frank White is renowned for coining the term "overview effect," the concept describing the profound and transformative experience astronauts have when they view Earth from space, recognizing its fragility and interconnectedness. He has dedicated his career to highlighting the potential benefits of living and learning beyond our planet, and his work underscores the fascinating advancements possible through space exploration. For everyday people like you and I, the overview effect can vastly improve our collective consciousness and global perspective. *Chapter* 00:00 – Intro & Welcome 04:04 – We Can Go Deeper into the Chaos, or Look Up 06:38 – The Experience of the Overview Effect 09:14 – Franks Early Life 17:23 – Origin of the Term ‘Overview Effect' 20:51 – The Rise of Citizen Astronauts 28:52 – Break 31:08 – Bringing the Overview Effect Down to Earth 36:24 – Our Perspective Influences Our Reality 42:16 – The People Are Not In Conflict… 47:11 – We Are the Universe Experiencing Itself 51:40 – Closing

Welcome and thanks for tuning in to the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs. Today we're embarking on an awe-inspiring journey that transcends the boundaries of our world. Have you ever wondered what it's like to see our Earth from space? To gaze upon our beautiful blue planet floating in the vastness of the cosmos? To behold its beauty and glory from the vantage point of a space shuttle or the moon? Can you imagine what kind of effect an experience like this would have on your life? This incredible perspective shift, known as the Overview Effect, has transformed the lives of many astronauts. In this episode, we'll explore the Overview Effect, a term coined by space philosopher Frank White in 1987 to describe the profound cognitive shift astronauts experience when viewing Earth from space. This perspective brings feelings of awe, unity, and interconnectedness, and how this view changes perceptions of our planet and humanity's place within the universe. The Overview Effect promotes sustainability, global connection, and cooperation by inspiring efforts to protect our planet and enhancing international collaboration. We take a look at how we can adopt the mindset and insights from the Overview Effect to increase environmental awareness, foster a sense of global unity, and experience personal growth. By meditating on the beauty and interconnectedness of Earth, we can contribute to our well-being and gain a deeper appreciation for our shared home. Thank you for joining us on this uplifting journey. The Overview Effect reminds us of our shared humanity and the preciousness of our planet. Let's carry these lessons forward, striving for a future where we live in harmony with each other and our environment. Contact: michel@moneylighthouse.com
Many astronauts say that when they initially see the Earth from afar, they look first for their hometowns….Eventually, they realize that their true identity as a human….is ‘with that whole thing.'” One of the world's most esteemed authors and Space philosophers, best-selling author Frank White, wrote The Overview Effect nearly 40 years ago while gazing down at Earth. His hundreds of interviews and reporting since have changed the way people view our planet and their lives, and has influenced our outlook on the idea of “community.” After hundreds of interviews with every human being who has left Earth for Space and working with the best minds the human community offers, he narrowed the process of understanding into three words. In part two of this podcast with his friend, Lou Zacharilla, he shares them as they talk about the cognitive shift that an “overview effect” has had and what it might mean for the future of Intelligent Communities.

As you read these words and listen to our podcast, we're all riding on a ball about 8000 miles (13,000 km) across. Our rotating disco ball in space is dancing around the sun at about 67,000 mph (107,000 km/h). Our sun is about 93 million miles (150 million km away), shooting us with subatomic particles. Probably not maliciously, but who knows? The sun might be a trickster. It's also filling our solar system with light so we can see all the other planets, comets, asteroids, dwarf planets, and moons in orbit. As humans, it's nearly impossible to not put ourselves at the center of the world — we all have main-character energy. For millions of years, we puny humans have looked up at the sky and tried to understand just what the devil is going on and where we belong in the whole situation. In this episode, we try to unpack many of the mind-blowing facts we know about space and our expanding universe — and we get real about the emotional impact of embracing our stardust origins. We talk about the condition called the Overview Effect and whether or not space smells funny. Then we recommend great books that took us there on the page: Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowell The Mars House by Natasha Pulley The Milky Way by Moiya McTier Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertolino For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

Off-world settlements are sometimes proposed as an insurance policy for Earthlings. Or as an escape for the super-rich. Is it actually either of those things? How should we be considering humanity's relationship to the cosmos and off-world civilization? And is the Overview Effect worth a damn? On today's episode of the Reversing Climate Change podcast, Nori carbon removal marketplace Cofounder Ross Kenyon is joined by Zach Weinersmith and Dr. Kelly Weinersmith, science educators and authors all. Zach is also the person behind the long-running internet comic SMBC (Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal). They are the authors of the new book, A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through? Zach and Kelly are both sympathetic to space exploration, being avowed geeks of the subject matter. And yet, the further they dug into basically every facet of life off-world, the less likely it seems our species is ready for the challenges. Whether it be the ease of hurling celestial objects back at Earth, the collapsing bone density of space denizens, the uncertainty of reproduction in low-gravity environments and therefore the necessity of experimenting without consent upon children, the cost, the geopolitics, the near-term impossibility of independence from Earth, and an entire book's worth of other concerns, it just doesn't seem like becoming a trans-Earth civilization is the solution or problem that its supporters or critics, respectively, have believed it is. These are all worthy areas of research. Tune in to learn more and why Zach & Kelly are still exuberant space nerds, and how to keep space in mind with regard to climate change.

Ever wondered what zero gravity feels like? Since age 3, Kelly Latimer wanted to be an astronaut. Her dreams were initially thwarted by uncontrollable health conditions, so she chose to join the Air Force as a pilot instead. But after years working, an opportunity to travel to space soon arose. She was hired to fly for Virgin Galactic, working in a new niche: space tourism. In this episode we chat about being a woman in male dominated spaces, how to forge ahead and go after your dreams despite potential setbacks, and finally a bit about the Overview Effect: a cognitive shift reported by some astronauts while viewing the Earth from space.Connect with us at https://surfwithamigas.com/ or @surfwithamigas.
Welcome to Part 2 of our interview with father and daughter team Franklin Chang-Diaz, NASA astronaut and founder of the Ad Astra Rocket Company™, and Miranda Chang, Ad Astra's Global Communications Director. We pick up where we left off, with a focus on fathers working with their children! Host Charles Liu shares how much he loves doing The LIUniverse with his co-host and son Allen, while Franklin talks about how important Miranda is to the running of Ad Astra. Then it's on to our next question, from Ebony, who asks, “Do you believe that traveling to space can find ways to fix the problem with climate change?” Franklin begins by reminding us that we would not be aware of climate change if we were not exploring space. And then he describes how the life support system on spaceship Earth is in need of a great deal of maintenance and repair, how at some point there will be more humans than can survive on it, and how he worries that we will damage our environment to the point that our civilization won't be healthy enough to explore space and then we will be doomed. In Costa Rica, Ad Astra is working to transition the country to a green, hydrogen economy. Using solar and wind energy, they generate hydrogen from water, to power their fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles and fuel cell electric buses. Miranda points out that Costa Rica's electric grid is already nearly 100% renewable, making it a perfect based for doing test projects like these with the goal of reducing carbon. Miranda discusses ways to make the economy of space more sustainable, too, and describes the fuel efficiency of the VX-200 VASIMIR engine (Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket), their new high-power, electric in-space propulsion system that will have a thirteen-year lifespan. Chuck asks Franklin how me made the transition from astronaut to environmentalist. Franklin explains how the Overview Effect impacted him, and how he came back from space with a tremendous awareness of our environmental problem. Charles brings up the differences between the Gaia Hypothesis and the Medea Hypothesis, which says the Earth may be out to get us and will be fine without us. Somehow, the conversation leads to “The Inner Light” – one of the most beloved episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation, which had tremendous but differing impacts on Franklin and Charles. In the episode, a civilization ignores climate change to the point where it is too late for them to do anything except memorialize their lives and their fate. Miranda talks about the unifying impact of space exploration, and the necessary realization we must reach if we are to survive that we are one species all in this together. Finally, we turn to VASIMIR. Chuck wants to know how it will change our lives, and Franklin likens it to the trucking business that sprung up after WWII because of the availability of diesel engines. As of right now, he explains that we don't have an equivalent for space: “We still fly to space in cannonballs.” What we want, he says, is powered flight over longer periods of time, which VASIMIR makes possible, changing the entire economics of space and enabling humans and the private sector to engage in sustained activity in space. Franklin explains how VASIMIR may someday reduce the time from the Moon to Mars from 8 months to 2 months or less and catalyze the next period of humanity's expansion into our solar system. In fact, it turns out that the engine Andy Weir used in his book The Martian was based on VASIMIR!
