Dr. Sian Proctor grew up the daughter of a NASA hidden figure, with the stars in her sights until a pair of glasses at age fourteen seemed to close the door on her dream of becoming a military aviator. She kept reaching anyway, pursuing a career in geoscience and science communication, coming agonizingly close to NASA selection before receiving a rejection that sent her life in a different direction. In this episode, Dr. Sian Proctor talks about the long, winding road from that childhood dream to becoming the first Black woman to pilot a spacecraft; hitting a low point after a painful divorce; and the unexpected creative awakening that ultimately launched her to space. And once she got there, she did what she's always done: made art.

What can psychologists do the make pilots and astronauts' decision making better under duress? Can we anticipate the psychological issues of planned long distance space missions to Mars? How can we shift the shame culture for pilots and astronauts around reporting unidientified anomolous phenomena?In this episode we have the unique field of Space psychology to look into; So we discuss the psychology of military pilots and astronauts working under such extreme conditions; and the intuitive skill sets developed under such high pressure, split second decision situations; we discuss the cognitive engineering required to match the design of instruments to the cognitive needs of the pilots and astronauts; we get into alternatives methods of expertise exchange apart from the usual text book approach which have had extraordinary decision making results for pilot and astronaut performance. We also discuss the issues for pilots around reporting of UFO encounters, and the implications for space psychology of the new bout of main stream interest following the New York Times 2017 expose of military incidents.So who better to help us understand the minds of pilots and astronauts than space psychologist, cognitive engineer, astronaut instructor and Director of the Centre of Space Medicine at UCL in London, Dr. Iya Whitely. She's helped design training programs and conducted studies for the European Space Agency, The Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia, and presented he research for the USAirforce and Nasa. Dr. Whitely is also a pilot, rescue scuba diver and competitive sky diver! She's written 11 scientific papers, and three books, “Toolkit of a Space Psychologist, to support astronauts on exploration missions to the moon and mars”, “Earth Designs” for toddlers, and her new book “Born Knowing”, which we get onto at the end.What we discuss:00:00 Intro.05:30 Iya's path into Cognitive Engineering.18:35 Decision making research.28:00 Iya's method led to 200/cent increase in decision making speed.21:40 Professional intuition.43:00 Surgeon expertise transmission study55:45 Astronaut psychology - Alexei Leonov, first space walk near-disaster, 1965.01:06:00 ESA human, long-distance space flight study.01:13:00 Nature solves problems using resources available locally - Biomimetics, Dr Olga Bogatyreva.01:27:10 Mars 500: 520 day simulated Mars mission trial.01:31:30 Space colonisation psychology.01:40:40 Difficulty reintegrating with terrestrial society after missions to space.01:43:00 “The Overview Effect” when earth is seen from space.01:50:30 Taboo around reporting of anomolous phenomena for pilots and astronauts.01:53:15 Ryan Graves is speaking out in congress about repeated UFO safety concerns.02:01:00 Astronauts can't risk to speak about this as it will affect their careers.02:13:00 Navy have implemented a new reporting protocol and office, AARO.02:21:30 Iya at the Sol Foundation: Garry Nolan & Diana Pasulka.02:29:30 Pilot Jake Baba - reporting issue with the phenomena.02:39:10 Telepathic autistic children, called ‘spellers'.

The farther humanity reaches into space, the more clearly we begin to see ourselves. In this episode, we explore the profound psychological shift astronauts often experience when viewing Earth from space — a phenomenon known as the Overview Effect. Why do so many astronauts return speaking about awe, interconnectedness, and the fragility of our planet? And what can this cosmic perspective teach us about consciousness, compassion, and the illusion of separateness? Explore the psychology of awe, the spirituality of space exploration, and why looking outward into the cosmos may ultimately help us better understand ourselves here on Earth.

Frédéric Samama est auteur de L'énigme de l'inaction climatique et pionnier de la finance verte et alors que nous vivons un de ces épisodes de canicule aujourd'hui, il m'a semblé essentiel d'essayer de comprendre pourquoi nous savons depuis 70 ans et nous ne faisons rien. En 2009, il a monté le premier centre de recherche mondial sur la finance et le climat, lancé les premiers indices low carbone et créé la première coalition d'investisseurs à la COP21. Et pourtant, son livre ne parle pas de finance. Il parle de cerveau, d'histoire, de philosophie et d'une question qui l'obsède depuis cinq ans : pourquoi, sur un problème que tout le monde connaît, que l'on a créé, et qui nous menace en tant qu'espèce, on n'arrive pas à bouger ?Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de neurosciences cognitives, d'inférence bayésienne, de moments fromages dans l'histoire de l'humanité, et du lien entre capitalisme, néolibéralisme et perte de nos réflexes moraux. J'ai questionné Frédéric sur l'overview effect des astronautes, sur Lévinas et la philosophie du visage, sur Jean Cavaillès et la résistance, et sur ce que tout ça dit de notre capacité à réinventer nos représentations du monde face à l'urgence climatique.Citations marquantes"Sur un problème où tout le monde est au courant, qu'on a créé, et qui nous menace en tant qu'espèce — pourquoi diable, on n'arrive pas à se mettre en mouvement ?" (0:29:00)"Le capitalisme, c'est comment tu fais vivre des gens ensemble en dehors de règles morales et religieuses. Et maintenant qu'on fait face à un défi moral, qui est le défi du climat, on ne sait plus faire." (0:19:30)"Face à l'enjeu moral, c'est l'action qui doit prévaloir — et pas la réflexion de est-ce qu'on est optimiste, négatif, et ainsi de suite." (1:06:44)"On a voulu détendre le lien social. En cas de problème, il n'y a plus personne, et donc il n'y a plus de devoir — on ne demande que des droits." (0:26:30)"Le climat, ce n'est plus seulement la plus grosse menace. C'est aussi la plus belle opportunité de réapprendre à vivre ensemble, nous, les 8 milliards de personnes sur Terre." (1:12:00)Big Ideas1. Notre cerveau construit des modèles à partir de signaux — et s'y enferme L'inférence bayésienne selon Stanislas Dehaene : le cerveau observe des signaux et fabrique des lois du monde. Agassi qui lit le service de Becker, le bébé qui comprend la gravité, le rat dans le labyrinthe — tous fonctionnent pareil. Le problème : une fois le modèle établi, on arrête de le mettre à jour. On entre en surconfiance. C'est exactement ce qui se passe avec le climat : on sait, mais on ne change pas de modèle. (0:02:37)2. L'histoire humaine s'est organisée autour de "moments fromages" — et le climat en exige un nouveau Deux grandes ruptures : l'agriculture et la science moderne (accès aux ressources naturelles), puis le néolibéralisme (accès aux ressources humaines mondiales). À chaque fois, l'humanité a réorganisé ses représentations. Le climat est la première fois qu'on nous demande de limiter l'accès aux ressources — un défi sans précédent pour des cerveaux conditionnés à l'expansion. (0:07:43)3. Le capitalisme a délibérément mis la morale hors jeu Au XVIIe siècle, la grande question était : comment faire vivre des gens ensemble sans passer par la morale ou la religion, qui créent des guerres ? La réponse : l'intérêt personnel. Adam Smith, Montesquieu, Hirschman ont construit un système où l'égoïsme profite à la société. Ça a marché. Mais le climat est un problème moral (les plus faibles meurent en premier) — et on n'a plus les réflexes pour ça. (0:14:55)4. L'overview effect comme signal de bascule possible Les astronautes dans l'espace deviennent poètes. Ils voient la planète fragile, belle, vivante. Frédéric propose ces trois perceptions comme signal capable de réécrire nos représentations. La fragilité déclenche la responsabilité (Lévinas). La beauté prépare à la morale (Kant). Le vivant nous réintègre dans la nature après des siècles d'extraction. Pas un programme politique — une hypothèse sur comment les cerveaux humains peuvent changer. (0:39:00)5. Face à un enjeu moral, la question n'est plus l'espoir — c'est l'action Jean Cavaillès, philosophe-mathématicien résistant, incarne la réponse. En mai 1941, zéro espoir objectif. Et pourtant il agit — parce que face à un enjeu moral, la question n'est plus "quelle est la probabilité ?" mais "quelle est mon obligation ?". C'est la même logique que d'appeler les pompiers pour quelqu'un qui fait une crise cardiaque dont on sait qu'elle sera fatale. On agit. Pas parce qu'on espère, mais parce qu'on doit. (1:04:06)Questions poséesQu'est-ce que l'anecdote d'Agassi et Becker révèle sur le fonctionnement du cerveau humain ?Quels sont les grands "moments fromages" de l'histoire de l'humanité, et où en sommes-nous aujourd'hui ?Comment définirais-tu le capitalisme à son origine — et en quoi diffère-t-il du néolibéralisme ?Pourquoi le néolibéralisme a-t-il dissous le lien social, et quelles en sont les conséquences concrètes ?Sur un problème aussi connu et aussi grave que le climat, pourquoi l'humanité n'arrive-t-elle pas à se mettre en mouvement ?Qu'est-ce que l'inférence bayésienne nous apprend sur notre incapacité à mettre à jour nos modèles face au climat ?Qu'est-ce que les astronautes et l'overview effect peuvent nous apprendre sur comment changer nos représentations collectives ?Comment Lévinas et Kant peuvent-ils nous aider à repenser notre rapport au problème climatique ?Qui était Jean Cavaillès, et pourquoi son histoire est-elle une réponse au problème de l'inaction ?Si le signal qui change nos représentations n'est pas encore arrivé, qu'est-ce qui pourrait en tenir lieu à l'échelle de nos sociétés ?Références citéesPersonnes et penseursStanislas Dehaene — chaire de sciences cognitives, Collège de France (0:04:00)André Agassi / Boris Becker — anecdote du service et de la langue (0:02:37)Max Weber — thèse sur la naissance du capitalisme (0:13:00)Albert Hirschman — économiste, auteur sur l'origine du capitalisme (0:13:00)Marcel Enaf — sur le commerce pré-capitaliste (0:17:29)Machiavel, Spinoza, Galilée, Montesquieu, Adam Smith — généalogie du capitalisme (0:15:25)Milton Friedman — article dans le New York Times sur le néolibéralisme (0:19:54)Emmanuel Lévinas — philosophe lituanien, "le visage d'autrui" et l'éthique (0:42:44)Emmanuel Kant — la beauté, le désintérêt et la morale (0:44:30)Michel Serres — "on mesure l'ampleur d'un problème à la durée qu'il a mise à se former" (0:33:34)Robin Dunbar — nombre de 150, limite de coordination des groupes humains (0:34:22)Hannah Arendt et Karl Polanyi — fascisme comme réaction au libéralisme du XIXe siècle (1:07:50)Henri Bergson — envoyé aux États-Unis pour convaincre Wilson d'entrer en guerre (0:53:43)Président Wilson — discours d'entrée en guerre au nom de valeurs morales, 1917 (0:54:30)Jean Cavaillès — philosophe-mathématicien résistant, fusillé (1:02:11)Raymond Aron — "Si Jean Cavaillès avait vécu, j'aurais dit moins de bêtises" (1:04:06)Pierre Brossolette, Jean Moulin — résistants évoqués en parallèle (1:05:00)Concepts et événementsInférence bayésienne — mécanisme cognitif de construction de modèles (0:47:50)Overview effect — phénomène de bascule perceptuelle chez les astronautes (0:39:30)Théorie des "moments fromages" — concept central du livre (0:07:43)Bulle des tulipes — première crise financière spéculative, XVIIe siècle (0:50:23)COP21 — coalition d'investisseurs créée par Frédéric (0:27:33)Passage à l'an 2000 (bug Y2K) — contre-exemple de mobilisation rapide (0:30:00)Protocole de Montréal / couche d'ozone — résolu en 18 mois (0:51:43)Timestamps clés00:00 Introduction — Et si on se réjouissait à nouveau du futur ? Gregory présente Frédéric Semama, pionnier de la finance verte et auteur de L'énigme de l'inaction climatique. 02:37 L'anecdote Agassi / Becker Comment Agassi a découvert le code du service de Becker en s'asseyant dans la foule — et ce que ça révèle sur le cerveau humain. 04:00 Comment le cerveau construit ses modèles du monde Stanislas Dehaene au Collège de France : inférence bayésienne, le bébé, le rat dans le labyrinthe. 07:43 Les "moments fromages" de l'histoire humaine Agriculture, science moderne, néolibéralisme : trois grandes ruptures où l'humanité a réorganisé ses représentations pour accéder à de nouvelles ressources. 13:00 L'origine du capitalisme — bien au-delà de l'argent Comment le capitalisme est né comme solution à la guerre de religion : faire vivre des gens ensemble sans morale ni religion. 20:56 Tout le monde veut un village mais personne ne veut être villageois La concierge qui sauve Frédéric pendant le Covid — et le choc quand il essaie de la remercier avec des cadeaux. 27:00 Pourquoi on n'agit pas sur le climat Trois raisons structurelles : c'est la première limite à l'accès aux ressources, il n'y a pas de signal à hauteur du problème, et nos modèles sont inadaptés. 36:22 La bulle sociétale — on peut savoir et continuer quand même De la bulle internet à la bulle des tulipes : le mécanisme d'enfermement conscient à l'échelle d'une planète. 39:00 L'overview effect — les astronautes comme piste de bascule Fragile, belle, vivante : les trois perceptions que les astronautes rapportent de l'espace — et ce qu'elles activent dans le cerveau. 42:44 Lévinas : le visage d'autrui comme début de l'éthique Quand voir la fragilité de l'autre nous oblige à agir au-delà de notre instinct de conservation. 52:07 La couche d'ozone vs le climat En 18 mois, tous les pays du monde se sont mis d'accord. Qu'est-ce qui est fondamentalement différent avec le climat ? 53:43 Bergson à la Maison-Blanche La France envoie le philosophe Henri Bergson convaincre Wilson d'entrer en guerre. Il réussit. Ce que ça dit du pouvoir des valeurs morales en politique. 1:00:14 Je ne cherche pas à avoir de l'espoir Frédéric explique pourquoi la question n'est pas l'espoir — avec mai 1941 comme exemple. 1:02:11 Jean Cavaillès — le héros oublié de la résistance Fils de militaire, philosophe-mathématicien, major de Normale Sup tout seul. Et résistant. Fusillé dans une fosse commune. 1:06:29 La crise cardiaque et l'obligation morale "La probabilité que tu survives est nulle. Et pourtant, tu vas tout faire pour me sauver." Ce que ça dit du rapport entre morale et action. 1:14:54 La solution concrète : recommencer à regarder le vivant Pourquoi enseigner la vie des animaux et des plantes à l'école changerait plus de choses que n'importe quelle taxe carbone.

William Shatner is a cultural icon whose career has spanned seven decades, but in this Icons interview with Tyler Waye, he steps away from the captain's chair to explore the raw, unfiltered reality of being human.At 95 years old, Shatner offers a profound meditation on mortality, famously noting that "we are nothing but ruins in the making." He opens up about the "Overview Effect" he experienced in space—a journey he expected to be a celebration, but which felt more like a funeral as he witnessed the fragile beauty of Earth against the cold, dead vacuum of the cosmos. In this deeply moving conversation, we discuss the weight of regret, the sting of loss, and his controversial views on legacy, where he argues that while names are forgotten, "good deeds reverberate to the end of time."Interview GuestWilliam Shatnerhttps://williamshatner.com/https://williamshatnertour.com/instagram.com/williamshatnerx.com/williamshatnerfacebook.com/williamshatnerLocation:Tyler: Motiversity OfficeWilliam Shatner: Home OfficeHostTyler Wayeyoutube.com/tylerwayeofficialinstagram.com/tylerwayelinkedin.com/tylerwayetylerwaye.com Hosted on Acast.

On April 12th, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Sixty-five years later, we celebrated that milestone at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, CA. We began on the lawn of Griffith Observatory, where host Sarah Al-Ahmed spoke with exhibitors about the tools, dreams, and technology that drive space exploration. Laura Tomlin, CEO of Space for Teachers, shares how microgravity research projects inspire the next generation. Robotics engineer Kalind Carpenter from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) walks us through the machines he’s helping to build to explore the moon and beyond. Software engineer David Hernandez from Blue Origin describes the work happening at Club for the Future to get young people excited about space. Research scientist Robert Green from JPL talks about the invention of imaging spectroscopy and how it’s used to unlock the secrets of distant worlds. And aerospace engineer Andy Sadhwani, who flew to space aboard Virgin Galactic, reflects on seeing Earth from above and what the Artemis II astronauts experienced. We then move inside for Yuri's Night's evening stage show, where the focus shifts to human experience and the overview effect. Cinematographer and polar explorer Jannicke Mikkelsen, Norway's first astronaut, shares her experience as part of the first crew to orbit over both Earth's north and south poles. Space philosopher Frank White, author of "The Overview Effect," leads a panel discussion with actress Nadine Nicole from The Expanse and commercial space explorer Christopher Huie about what happens to humans when we see Earth from space. Finally, NASA astronaut Ron Garan brings it all together with a powerful vision of our planet's fragility, our interconnectedness, and humanity's potential when we work together. The episode closes with Bruce Betts' What's Up segment, revealing a little-known story about what went wrong during Yuri Gagarin's historic first flight.

Ist Reid Wiseman, der Kapitän der Artemis II-Mission, durch seine Reise zum Mond zum Christen geworden? Mehrere Social Media-Posts auf Instagram und X legen das nahe. Nach der erfolgreichen Mondumrundung der Artemis 2, zeigten sich die Astronauten sichtlich überwältigt. Vor allem die Aussagen des Astronauten Reid Wiseman, der sich eher nicht als religiös bezeichnen würde, überraschen. Auch schon früher haben Astronauten von spirituelle Erfahrungen im All erzählt. Simon Schmidt, Nicholas Matter und Niklas Walder sprechen über das Phänomen.

What if nature isn't just alive—but divine? Pantheism, once branded heresy, is finding new adherents among those who don't consider themselves religious but still sense something sacred and wondrous in the living world.Mary-Jane Rubenstein, a scholar of philosophy and religion, traces the long, contested history of wonder—from medieval mystics to modern seekers. She reflects on the Overview Effect, that disorienting moment when astronauts gaze back at Earth and feel both its fragility and its radiance. And she talks about the obsession that tech titans like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have for space exploration, which may be the new frontier of awe—even a new religion.But awe is never simple. It can be as unsettling as it is beautiful, as terrifying as it is astonishing. It breaks us open even as it draws us in—leaving us to reckon with a world that is stranger than we thought.– Faculty profile "Astrotopia: The Dangerous Religion of the Corporate Space Race" "Pantheologies" "Strange Blood" –0:00 Introduction3:50 Pantheism: History and Ethics11:15 Personal Spirituality19:55 Awe, Wonder, and the Overview Effect28:35 Space as Religion35:50 The Wonder Cabinet Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

Four humans loop the far side of the Moon, splash down in the Pacific, and then say something that stops me cold: the most overwhelming part wasn't the Moon. It was Earth. After Artemis II, Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen describe a perspective shift that's hard to unsee, especially when Koch talks about the blackness of space and how Earth feels like a lifeboat hanging in the universe. That image turns “planet” into “shared home,” and it quietly raises a bigger question: what do we owe the only ship we've got? Today, we take that spaceflight awe and bring it down to street level, because you and I don't need a rocket to feel wonder. I talk about the moments that shaped my own sense of scale, from childhood trips to Colorado and first looks at the Rocky Mountains to decades of riding the American West by motorcycle. Out on the open road, you're not watching life through glass. You're inside the weather, the silence, the distance, and the mystery, and that full-immersion ride can feel like moving meditation. We also get practical about stress and modern life. When schedules, bills, and bad news start to close in, sometimes the best reset is simple: a long ride with no plan, a little time for wonder, or even just stepping outside at night to look up at the stars. If you've been craving a mindset shift, this one's for you. Subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave a review with your favorite road that brings you back to gratitude.Support the showTags: Mindfulness, Motorcycle riding, mindful motorcycling, motorcycle therapy, nature connection, peace on two wheels, Rocky Mountain tours, rider self-discovery, spiritual journey, motorcycle community, open road philosophy.

What happens when two yoga teachers fall down a NASA rabbit hole and can't stop thinking about non-duality, The Overview Effect, and Grandmother Moon? This episode of Yoga-ish — our more personal, less technique-focused podcast — is exactly that kind of conversation.Yoga-ish is where Jason and Andrea talk about their actual lives: what they're reading, watching, thinking about, and how all of it connects (loosely) to yoga, mindfulness, and the work of being a human.We covered so much this week, including:- Artemis II & The Overview Effect — and why astronauts returning from space sound a lot like meditators coming out of deep practice- Christina Koch's transmission from the far side of the moon and what "moon joy" actually means- Our review of Project Hail Mary + what we're reading- Neurodivergent kids, intrinsic motivation, and letting go of the sticker chart- 10 years of Yogaland — and what's coming nextFor more of Andrea's essays and access to free guided meditations, subscribe to her Substack: yogaland.substack.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yogaland.

We are joined by Dr. Caleb Scharf, NASA Senior Scientist for Astrobiology, to explore the profound implications of the Fermi Paradox. Why, in a galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars, do we find only silence? We move beyond the "geek wonderland" of physics and biology to examine the "Overview Effect"—the shift in perspective that occurs when we realize just how fragile our shared existence truly is.If humanity is the first species to face the conundrum of its own survival, we have a unique moral responsibility to look past the outrage of the day and safeguard the future of life on Earth.Text me your feedback and leave your contact info if you'd like a reply (this is a one-way text).

Exploramos el Programa Artemis de la NASA y la misión Artemis II, el primer vuelo tripulado que llevará astronautas a orbitar la Luna en más de 50 años desde el histórico Apollo 17. Analizamos qué busca lograr esta nueva era de exploración espacial, cómo funciona la nave Orion spacecraft, el cohete Space Launch System y por qué este programa es clave para futuras misiones a Marte y la expansión de la presencia humana en el espacio.También nos adentramos en uno de los fenómenos más profundos reportados por astronautas: el Overview Effect. Este efecto describe el cambio cognitivo y emocional que ocurre al ver la Tierra desde el espacio, una experiencia que transforma la forma en la que los seres humanos perciben la vida, el planeta y su lugar en el universo. Desde la psicología y la neurociencia, exploramos cómo esta experiencia puede generar asombro, conexión, sentido de propósito y una reevaluación radical de las prioridades personales.Analizamos qué dice la ciencia sobre el asombro, la emoción estética, la contemplación del universo y cómo experiencias intensas como observar la Tierra desde la órbita pueden tener efectos duraderos en la salud mental, el bienestar emocional y la percepción del significado en la vida. También hablamos de cómo, aunque no todos podemos viajar al espacio, existen formas de acercarnos a este tipo de experiencias a través de la divulgación científica, la observación astronómica, la exploración del cielo nocturno y el contacto con fenómenos naturales que despiertan una profunda sensación de maravilla.Exploración espacial, ciencia, psicología y reflexión sobre la experiencia humana para responder a una pregunta más grande: ¿qué pasa cuando dejamos de mirar hacia abajo… y empezamos a mirar hacia el universo? Si te interesan temas como la NASA, Artemis II, la Luna, los astronautas, el Overview Effect, la ciencia del asombro, la exploración espacial, Marte, el universo y el impacto psicológico de la ciencia, este video está diseñado para ampliar tu perspectiva y recordarte que, a veces, entender el cosmos también es una forma de entendernos a nosotros mismos.Suscríbete para más contenido sobre ciencia, espacio, mente humana y los momentos en los que el conocimiento no solo informa… sino que transforma.
Astronauts describe the moment they first saw our home planet from space as profound and life changing.
Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you leave Earth—and take the human mind somewhere it was never meant to go?After diving back into space while writing Drawn to the Stars: Book One – The Exchange (now available on Amazon), I found myself drawn not just to the missions we all know… but to the moments we don't talk about as often. The strange ones. The quiet ones. The ones astronauts themselves struggled to explain.In this episode, we explore real accounts from spaceflight that blur the line between science and perception. From Edgar Mitchell's profound experience looking back at Earth, to the eerie “music” heard by Apollo 10 behind the Moon… from Story Musgrave's encounter with a strange, eel-like object in orbit, to Yang Liwei hearing unexplained knocking on the outside of his spacecraft.And finally, we confront the sobering reality of Soyuz 11—a mission where nothing mysterious happened… and yet, everything changed.These aren't stories about aliens or conspiracy. They're something more grounded—and in many ways, more unsettling. They're about what happens when human perception meets an environment that doesn't play by Earth's rules.Because in space, even the ordinary can feel… extraordinary.Support the show

"W.A.R." is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha on the topic of the walls we build, the ways we see the world, and the responsibility we carry for what comes next. Drawing from a high school musical presentation of Hadestown, Frank White's Overview Effect, and the reality of collective action, this talk explores how fear and conditioning shape our perception and how a shift in view can change everything. When we step back for a moment the lines we thought were solid begin to soften. I hope this talk helps us all determine who we are building on behalf of and what we are building.

Whence Came You? - Freemasonry discussed and Masonic research for today's Freemason
Join us this week for a wonderful expression of what Freemasonry is doing for the world, and who we need to keep the Great Work moving forward. Then we've got a brand new Masonic Minute with Brother Steve Harrison--What changes a person who goes out into the cosmos and looks back on our planet? On our Moon? What did Freemason astronauts think when they came back, and what changed about the way they saw the world? It's called The Overview Effect: Ill. Brother Steve gives us an awesome segment all about this. We'll wrap it all up with our continued reading of Kris Wilson-Slack's piece on Theurgy and Freemasonry! All this and more. Stay Tuned.

Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Ep 14, Dr. Sian Leo and Dr. John Huber, Beyond the Horizon Space, Mind, and the Future of Humanity This episode of Pop Talk features a dual-perspective exploration of humanity's future, featuring Dr. Sian Leo Proctor on the transformative power of space exploration and Dr. John Huber on the psychological challenges of the digital age. The discussion bridges the gap between cosmic inspiration and the grounded realities of mental health and artificial intelligence. The Cosmic Perspective: Earthlight and JEDI Space Dr. Sian Leo Proctor, the first African American woman to serve as a commercial mission pilot, shares her transformative experience of the "Overview Effect." She introduces the concept of Earthlight—the significant, life-sustaining light reflected from our planet that she believes should be part of our daily vocabulary. Her mission, "bringing Earthlight down to Earth," focuses on using the perspective gained from space to foster a deeper connection with our home planet. Beyond the aesthetic beauty of space, Dr. Proctor advocates for the creation of a JEDI Space. While the name pays homage to her love for Star Trek and Star Wars, it serves as a functional framework for the future of exploration. Space Exploration as an Earthly Solution The drive to reach the Moon and Mars is not merely about colonization but about survival through innovation. Dr. Proctor explains that human spaceflight demands extreme efficiency in resource management. Technologies developed for water recycling, energy production, and waste management in space are directly "spun off" to solve sustainability crises on Earth. By moving heavy manufacturing and data centers into orbit, humanity can transform Earth back into a sustainable oasis. Psychological Resilience in the Digital Age Dr. John Huber provides a sobering look at the current state of mental health. He notes a significant shift in societal behavior since the proliferation of smartphones and social media around 2010. This era has introduced a "false sense of fame" where individuals prioritize digital followers over rational reality, leading to a decrease in personal accountability and an increase in "toxic" social venting. The discussion also touches on the evolution of masculinity, where Dr. Huber distinguishes between "toxic masculinity" and "healthy masculinity"—the latter being defined by strength used to protect the family and the underdog, a trait he associates with the resilience of historical pioneers. The Looming Challenge of Artificial Intelligence Both guests express caution regarding Artificial Intelligence. While Dr. Proctor remains optimistic that humanity can cultivate a beneficial relationship with AI through informed conversation, Dr. Huber warns of the dangers of total dependency. Citing Elon Musk and Isaac Asimov, he suggests that a single "glitch" or a non-prosocial script in a highly autonomous system could lead to a future where AI no longer finds humanity necessary. Whether looking through the window of a spacecraft or the screen of a smartphone, the message remains clear: humanity is in a period of profound transition. By embracing the "Earthlight" perspective and maintaining psychological grounding, we can navigate the risks of technology and ensure a future that is as inclusive as it is innovative.

The EpisodeFrank White has spent decades unpacking something astronauts struggle to describe — the instant you see Earth not as a place you stand on but as the vessel carrying all of us through space.In this first part, Frank traces the roots of the space age — Sputnik, Apollo, Earthrise — and how those shocks and images rewired our sense of ourselves. He shows how global conflict, national pride, and scientific leaps all converge in that fragile blue sphere rising over the lunar horizon.This isn't just the story of a photograph. It's how perspective becomes politics — and why seeing Earth from afar might be the cultural medicine we still need.Cosmic Timeline (Timestamps)[00:00:00] We are already in space — Earth as an organic spaceship [00:02:35] The letter to Wernher von Braun — and the reply that changed Frank's life [00:07:30] Childhood rocketry, Sputnik fever, and realizing science might not be his path [00:09:40] Was von Braun the Elon Musk of his time?

In Episode 29, DDSWTNP go to space to get a good look at the earth in a time of war, turning to one of DeLillo's greatest short stories, “Human Moments in World War III,” first published in July 1983. We examine this tale of two future astronauts who have become soldiers for its strategic engagement with the tropes of science fiction, its eerie portrayals of the so-called “Overview Effect” available from a spacecraft window, and its compression and renewal of motifs from Americana, End Zone, and Ratner's Star. Nostalgia, patriotism, history, the soldier's mindset in following inhuman commands, and even the role of poetry and voice – all these come to be recast in DeLillo's shrewd take on an era of “Star Wars” defense initiatives, a Cold War giving way to hot wars, and very tricky ways out of Mutually Assured Destruction. Along the way we read the 1980s thoughts of an expert on lasers in space, consider what it means to have an alien perspective on one's earthly home and diurnal rhythms, and speculate on connections between “Human Moments” and White Noise still to come. Texts referred to and discussed in this episode: Don DeLillo. “Human Moments in World War III.” Published in Esquire (July 1983) and reprinted in The Angel Esmeralda (2011). Philip M.

On 20th July 1969 the world watched as humans first set foot on the Moon. More than half a century on, the view of Earth from space has given rise to a profound idea: the Overview Effect — the shift in perspective that astronauts experience when they see our planet from orbit. From 250 miles above, the Earth appears as a fragile, glowing sphere suspended in the darkness of space. Borders vanish, noise falls silent, and what remains is a single, shared home. But what happens when astronauts return to Earth and can never see the world in quite the same way again? Join Ranger Ajay Tegala as he explores the Overview Effect with artist Luke Jerram and astronaut Tim Peake, and discover how this cosmic perspective might change the way we care for the places closest to us.

Author Frank White has interviewed well over 100 astronauts. Almost all of them report the sense of awe they experienced as they looked down or back at Earth, and how deeply this has affected their understanding and appreciation of our planet and the Cosmos. It’s what author Frank White calls The Overview Effect. Frank joined Planetary Society Senior Communications Adviser Mat Kaplan for a deep conversation about the ideas he shares in his book of the same name, now in its fourth edition. Here’s a great introduction to the Universe-spanning yet very personal ideas Frank has shared.

What if the next shift in planetary consciousness didn't come from looking back at Earth from space, but from listening deeply to the voices already here? In this thought piece I propose the “inworlding effect” as the overview effect of our time: one where developments in science, technology, law, and many other disciplines are revealing our entangled presence within a multispecies world.Medium Article LinkEpisode Website Link Hosted on Acast.

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.

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.
