„Az a pillanat, amikor az első ember a Marsra lép, technológiai, filozófiai, történelmi és felfedezéstörténeti vonatkozásban is nagyobb jelentőségű pillanat lesz, mint addig bármelyik... Többé már nem csak »egybolygós« faj leszünk.” Sci-finek tűnik, de Stephen Petranek díjnyertes újságíró szerint ma már tény: az emberiség húsz éven belül átköltözik a Marsra. Nem lesz más választása. A szerző sodró lendületű, provokatív könyvében bemutatja az űrverseny szereplőit, a NASA és más űrügynökségek komoly vetélytársait, köztük olyan forradalmár vállalkozókat, mint Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos és Sir Richard Branson. Lenyűgöző részletességgel magyarázza el a Marsra szállás mikéntjét, és megmutatja, hogyan jutunk el a rakétafejlesztés első lépéseitől a következő aranylázat elhozó aszteroidabányászatig. --- Szerző: Petranek, Stephen L. | Cím: Életünk a Marson | Előadja: Ambrus Attila József (1967-) | Megjelenés: HVG Könyvek, Budapest, 2016 |ISBN 978-963-304-311-0 | A felvétel készült: 2018. január 4. | Játékidő: 2 óra 49 perc | Bitráta: 128 kbps / 32 kHz / mono | Megjegyzés: A hangoskönyv a "Látássérült Emberek Megsegítésére" c. projekt keretében készült a Magyar Vakok és Gyengénlátók Országos Szövetsége Hangoskönyvtára számára.

Andy Petranek and Michael Stanwyck know fitness. Petranek was a former adventure racer and RedBull Athlete before founding one of the first CrossFit gyms. Soon after, Stanwyck walked in looking for a new type of workout and quickly became CrossFit LA’s manager. But while their classes made gym members stronger, the pair longed to have a more holistic impact on their clients. In 2011, they created the Whole Life Challenge, a six-week program that focuses on seven lifestyle changes that optimize well-being. The Challenge, which turns healthy living into a game, now attracts more than 50,000 participants a year. Last week, Petranek and Stanwyck sat down with Outside editor Chris Keyes to discuss the problem with diets, the keys to changing habits, the power of crowds, and how small lifestyle changes add up to make a big difference.
Andy is the owner of CrossFit LA (CFLA), one of the most successful CrossFit training centers in the world. Established in 2004, CFLA was the ninth licensed CrossFit affiliate in the world (out of 10,000+), and the first to be featured in national media. A former professional adventure racer, extreme athlete, and master white-water kayaker and mountaineer, Andy has completed three Eco-Challenges, one Raid Gauloises, and the La Ruta de los Conquistadores (a three-day mountain bike race known as the world’s hardest). A classically-trained trumpet player (Eastman School of Music) and a Marine Gulf War veteran, Andy was the oldest participant, at 43, to qualify for the 2009 CrossFit Games. Andy has been a CrossFit trainer for over 11 years and hold CrossFit sports-specific certifications in Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, powerlifting, the Pose Method of Running, endurance, and nutrition. Andy is a VIVOBAREFOOT running coach and a CHEK level 2 corrective high-performance exercise kinesiologist and nutrition and lifestyle coach. With an undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester and a master’s degree in spiritual psychology from the University of Santa Monica, Andy lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Julia, and their son, Dashel. While the workouts might seem random, there is actually a system to Andy’s method of training general physical preparedness. Andy does not write his workouts for a specialized athlete, but rather for a student looking to get better at a lot of things. “I’ll sit down to write a three week cycle and I’ll try to make that be a complete balanced program in three weeks. I look at the whole picture and think, if this were a complete cycle someone was going through, do they hit as many of the ten fundamental skills and does it give balance in all the metabolic pathways? And then, is it fun, and are the lengths of the workouts variable? I look for balance in that three week cycle.”
For Beyond 50's "Emerging Trends" talks, listen to an interview with Stephen Petranek. He is the former editor of "Discover" magazine. He'll talk about a fictitious mission to Mars in 2033 on a rocket called "Daedalus" carrying six uniquely qualified astronauts. Petranek makes the case that living on Mars is not just plausible, but inevitable and predicts that it can happen as early as 2027.

This week on Greenhorn Radio Sev spoke with Sarah Petranek, former radiologic technologist and current blueberry farm proprietor. Sarah conveys the story of her drastic decision to put her and her husband’s love of hard work and the outdoors to use by moving their family 400 miles away to rural Kentucky. There she eventually fulfilled her dream of living off the land, leaving behind the material world, and having time to spend time with her family. Now she is a successful blueberry farmer looking to expand to strawberries, and despite some lingering monetary issues, as happy as she’s ever been. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of grass-fed beef grazing on the beautiful coast of San Simeon, CA.
