This special episode of the podcast was recorded live in front of an audience in February 2022 at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London and features a panel of experts discussing a very interesting subject of Space-Based solar power.I was joined on stage by Martin Soltau Co-Chair Space Energy Initiative & Space Business Lead at Frazer-Nash ConsultancyDr Alice Bunn CEO Institution of Mechanical EngineersSam Adlen Chief Strategy Officer, Satellite Applications Catapult andAli Stickings Space Strategy lead at Fraser Nash ConsultancyYou will also hear remarks from Mark Garnier, MP for Wyre Forest who is Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Space, and Chair of The Space Energy Initiative Advisory Board as well as Nick Wayth Chief Executive at The Energy Institute.To provide some context around this episode and the topic, we all accept that fossil fuels are not a sustainable form of energy, and renewable energy such as solar and wind have issues when it is cloudy or calm.To meet the energy needs of a country like the UK or Australia, we need a “baseload” technology that can provide a sustained demand for power.The UK chapter of The Institution of Engineers Australia teamed up with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for their monthly “Spring Forward” hybrid lecture series to look at a potential new form of energy – Space-Based Solar Power.The concept is not new – it was first mooted by Isaac Asimov as science fiction in the 1940s, and in 1968, Dr Peter Glaser of Arthur D. Little introduced the concept of using microwaves for power transmission from geosynchronous orbit to an Earth-based rectifying antenna.Since then, technology has advanced on several fronts to remove some of the technological and economic barriers to practical full-scale implementation.Issues covered in this episode include:How Space-Based power actually worksThe opportunity for generating power from spaceHow to overcome challenges in commercialising this technologyHow space-based solar power contributes to the net-zero debateThe future for space-based solar power generationHow Space solar power gives Governments optionsSolar power vs Nuclear FusionWhat will the solution cost?The regulatory risksThe role of GovernmentThe security concernsWho regulates the space segmentThe spin-off benefitsWhat other countries are doing?The UK-Australia Space BridgeThe Space Energy InitiativeThe job creation opportunitiesNick Wayth Chief Executive at Energy Institute commentsAudience question: How can the UK maintain a lead in this area?Audience question: What is happening in Australia?Audience question: What can go wrong?Mark Garnier MP closing remarksResources UK Government's paper on Space-Based Solar PowerYour Host: Actionable Futurist® Andrew GrillFor more on Andrew - what he speaks about and replays of recent talks, please visit ActionableFuturist.comfollow @AndrewGrill on Twitteror @andrew.grill on Instagram.
Wir sprechen mit Peter Glaser, ein in Berlin wohnhafter Österreicher, Schriftsteller, Ingeborg-Bachmann-Preisträger und intensiver Beobachter der Gesellschaft und insbesondere ihrer Digitalisierung für die Frage einer Europäischen Identität. Gibt es eine und was macht sie aus? Wir wagen einen kritischen, breiten und betont unpolitischen Blick auf die unterschiedlichen Vorstellungen der Länder und Kulturen. "Kultur bedeutet immer eine Zunahme an Unterschieden" sagt Peter Glaser und plädiert für mehr Vielfalt und weniger Einheitsdruck im europäischen Miteinander.
In 1942, Germany discovered a dead British officer floating off the coast of Spain, carrying important secret documents about the upcoming invasion of Europe. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe Operation Mincemeat, which has been called "the most imaginative and successful ruse" of World War II. We'll also hear from our listeners about Scottish titles and mountain-climbing pussycats and puzzle over one worker's seeming unwillingness to help another.

Der moderne Staat sollte idealerweise ein Nachtwächterstaat sein – er hat nicht nur für Sicherheit nach innen und aussen zu sorgen, sondern auch die Freiheit und die Privatheit seiner Bürger zu schützen. Hier verläuft ein altes Spannungsfeld, das seit den Terroranschlägen vom 11.September 2001 eine neue Brisanz erhalten hat. Dass im Zeitalter des World Wide Web alles und jedes überwacht werden kann, war immer klar und ist doch erst durch die Enthüllungen des ehemaligen NSA-Mitarbeiters Edward Snowdens mit jener Dringlichkeit ins Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit gerückt, die der Problematik in einer Welt heikler Datenströme und wachsender Internetgiganten entspricht. Eine breite Debatte über die Legitimität einer totalen Überwachung tut not. Der Empörung über die ausufernden Überwachungspraktiken der amerikanischen NSA steht indes die Tatsache gegenüber, dass der Internetnutzer in sozialen Netzwerken wie Facebook nach wie vor viele persönliche Daten sorglos online stellt. Überwachung indes gibt es nicht nur im Netz, auch der Alltag wird von immer mehr Reglementierungen und Eingriffen des Staates durchtränkt. Dem Hang zur Totalüberwachung der Bürger entspricht dem wachsenden Ruf nach umfassender Versorgung. Demgegenüber gilt es, die freiheitlichen Rechte und Pflichten des Einzelnen zu stärken.

Tim Pritlove führt als Live-Podcast von Chaosradio Express ein Gespräch mit dem Schriftsteller Peter Glaser über das Motto der re:publica "Die Kritische Masse". Im Dialog sollen Aspekte alternativer Meinungsgestaltung im digitalen Zeitalter, der Einfluss elitärer Minderheiten auf Mehrheiten und im besonderen der Effekt moderner Themengestaltung und Berichterstattung im Internet auf die Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie der traditionellen Medien diskutiert werden. Kann eine Masse überhaupt kritisch sein oder ist die Kritik ein Merkmal des Individuums? Kann eine Masse die Summe von Individuen sein oder löst sie sich dann in Beliebigkeit auf? Wann überschreitet eine Gemeinschaft den kritischen Punkt und nimmt Einfluss? Sind wir in einer Übergangsphase vom Massenmedium zu einer Masse von Medien? Welche Qualität liegt in der Qualität? Diese und andere Fragen und Thesen sollen das Diskussionsfutter in diesem Diskurs sein, der sich um eine Standortbestimmung "kritischer" Medienpräsenz in aktuellen Realität digitaler Netzwelten bemüht. Peter Glaser steht dabei für eine künstlerisch-praktische und vor allem unterhaltsame Aufarbeitung der Thematik statt einer trockenen theoretisch-akademischen Abhandlung des Stoffes.
Am 12. September 2006 jährt sich die Gründung des Chaos Computer Clubs zum 25. Mal. Wir nehmen dieses Datum zum Anlass, einmal einen ausführlichen Blick auf die damalige Zeit zu richten. Peter Glaser ist 1983 zum Club gestossen und war über lange Zeit selbst massgeblich in die Aktivitäten der Gemeinschaft eingebunden. So hat er auch über lange Zeit die Datenschleuder inhaltlich mitgestaltet. Im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove zeichnet Peter Glaser ein Fühlbild der damaligen Zeit, der Motivation der Leute, die sich im Club organisierten und der Wirkung des Clubs auf die deutsche Gesellschaft der 80er Jahre. Dabei kommt auch sehr viel Persönliches zur Sprache.
