Jan. 29, 2025Dr. Darlene Lim (NASA Ames Research Center)NASA's Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) is a planned mission to go to the South Pole of the Moon and get a close-up view of the locations that can sustain water ice – ice that could eventually be harvested to support human exploration on the Moon, on Mars — and beyond. Dr. Lim discusses how, for the first time in NASA's history, the science team would be fully integrated into the mission operations team and will provide near real-time input on where to explore on the Moon.  While the fate of the mission is now in some doubt, Dr. Lim discusses the lessons learned, and the remarkable techniques the team developed to make real-time, almost instant decisions about what the rover does next at each point in its journey.  She also tells about how her earlier experience exploring deep lakes on Earth with robotic and crewed vehicles taught her valuable lessons that she could apply to designing lunar exploration protocols.

NASA's Europa Clipper mission will investigate a vast saltwater ocean beneath the surface of Jupiter's icy moon Europa. The spacecraft, equipped with nine instruments, will gather data in search of ingredients that support life. SwRI designed and built two of the instruments onboard Clipper, the Europa Ultraviolet Spectrograph and the Mass Spectrometer for Planetary Exploration. The mission could help answer big questions about the origin of life on Earth and whether that process can occur elsewhere in our solar system. The launch window for Clipper opens October 10 and the spacecraft is expected to enter Jupiter's orbit in 2030. Listen now as SwRI space scientists Dr. Jim Burch and Dr. Kurt Retherford, principal investigators of SwRI's Clipper instruments, talk about preparations before launch, mission goals, and the SwRI instruments contributing to our understanding of astrobiology, the study of the potential for life beyond our planet.

This sci-fi vignette sets the stage for one of the most original tales we've seen from the genre in some time. It's straight from the pages of your favorite classic science fiction dime store novel, and it revels in its weirdness. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, it blindsides you with something you weren't expecting.For instance, it's easy to assume that the ship's crew was recreated because the original humans died, but the additional wrinkle that their real selves are alive has disturbing implications. Are these living, breathing people going to die when the migrant ship arrives at their intended new planet? What is life and who is allowed to decide where a clone may live? These are heady questions that Exception introduces, but doesn't force on the audience – they will be in the back of your mind as it progresses, however.Further, Exception is a visually arresting feast. It may not look anything like what you're used to from the anime world, but it's a treat for the eyes and steeped in nontraditional design. Everything about Exception is otherworldly, from top to bottom. Most of that is due to legendary character designer Yoshitaka Amano, who was responsible for bringing the cast to life, but there's an unsettling eerieness that permeates just about every part of the series.It's a fun kind of weird that we don't see enough of in Western or anime series, and I'm thrilled to see that no punches were pulled bringing this story to fruition. In the distant future, humanity has been forced out of its home on Earth. The entire population must move to a different star system, one where there's a planet suitable for terraforming. The crew has been recreated from what were apparently living, breathing human beings prior to their journey through space.Their new bodies, created using a biological 3D printer called The Womb, retain the memories and DNA of their former selves, but neither Nina (Ali Hillis) nor Mack (Robbie Daymond) are under the delusion that they're the “same” people they were when their memories were backed up, only recreations. The similarities are impeccable though, and crewmate Oscar (Eugene Byrd) is especially impressed with his new body as his cavities are gone.The crew is headed to Planet X-10 on a journey that's taken about a week to get started, but it will end up taking much more time to complete the overall mission. Interestingly enough, the crew's “real selves” are traveling on a migrant vessel from Earth in cryosleep while their copies work away on the spaceship. One by one, the crew members are recreated: Nina, Mack, Oscar, Patty (Nadine Nicole), and then Lewis (Nolan North).While Lewis is in the middle of being printed, the ship runs into a devastating solar flare that interrupts the printing process and causes a few problems. When everything is all said and done, it's revealed that the system malfunction has caused the final member, Lewis, to come out disfigured. The crew must decide whether to euthanize him and start over for the good of the mission, or cultivate new cells and contend with Lewis the way he is…until things go south. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

David Brown is the author of The Mission, which details many aspects of the SLS program and how Artemis came to be the unlikely solution to our problem of being unable to go interplanetary. He recently sat down with ClearanceJobs to talk about the Artemis launch. He twice attempted to see the program take flight and was met both times by the rocket's fueling woes.He discussed how his writing on the Europa Clipper and efforts to explore one of Jupiter's moons also led him to get up and close the budget and political battles that led to the Artemis program."Although NASA has a great many missions that cover literally everywhere in the universe in one way or another., everything really is connected in a lot of strange and sometimes unexpected ways," said Brown. "Unexpected even for the people who work for NASA and who launch these missions."Brown unpacked more about Artemis in a recent ClearanceJobs piece, writing about how Artemis was as much the brainchild of senators as it was of scientists. When it comes to rockets getting off of the ground and all things NASA, it turns out the programs are more swayed by politics than planetary science. Hosted on Acast.

Lexman and Sara discuss the future of planetary exploration and what it could mean for the livelihoods of people on Earth. They also get into a discussion about obverse designs, expositions, and emulsifications.

In July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto, revealing its surface to our view for the first time. In this program, Drs. Alan Stern and David Grinspoon give us an insider's view of how this complex mission came to be and what it discovered at the edge of our solar system.  Their recent book  (with the same title) tells the full story of the mission, its ground-breaking discoveries at Pluto, and where it's going next.  Here is the story of path-breaking exploration and new science, straight from the source, with insight into what it's like to be part of a  planetary mission that goes to a destination never before visited.  (Recorded May 15, 2018)

Unexplored regions beneath Mars' surface may harbor secrets about the planet's past.

Today for our Explorers Club series, we are about to be hit by a meteorite of space knowledge as we have a wildly accomplished scientist and researcher entering our atmosphere, Dr. Nina Lanza. She is the Team Lead for Space and Planetary Exploration in Space and Remote Sensing at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She is also the Principle Investigator of the ChemCam instrument on the Mars Curiosity Rover (sadly not sponsored by us) and a team member for the SuperCam instrument on the Mars Perseverance rover. She's an expert on Mars and does a lot of research on meteorites and minerals that can tell us about the interactions between rocks, soil, atmosphere, and water on the planet.Nina Lanza Interview from 4/23/22Dr. Nina Lanza - About Ninahttps://www.ninalanza.com/about-nina/NASA's Curiosity Rover Measures Intriguing Carbon Signature on Marshttps://mars.nasa.gov/news/9113/nasas-curiosity-rover-measures-intriguing-carbon-signature-on-mars/?site=msl2020 Mission Perseverance Rover - SuperCamhttps://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/spacecraft/instruments/supercam/Mount Sinai - Manganesehttps://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/supplement/manganese#:~:text=Manganese%20is%20a%20trace%20mineral,clotting%20factors%2C%20and%20sex%20hormones.Follow Curiosity Daily on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with Calli and Nate — for free!

 Where is the best place to find living life beyond Earth? It may be that the small, ice-covered moons of Jupiter and Saturn harbor some of the most habitable real estate in our Solar System. Life loves liquid water and these moons have lots of it!  Such oceans worlds have likely persisted for much of the history of the solar system, and as a result they are compelling targets for our exploration. Dr. Kevin Hand (of the Jet Propulsion Lab) explains the science behind our understanding of these worlds, with a special focus on Jupiter's intriguing moon Europa, which is a top priority for future NASA missions.   Dr. Hand is also the author of a popular-level book "Alien Oceans: The Search for Life in the Depths of Space."  (Recorded Apr. 10, 2019.)Dr. Hand is a planetary scientist at JPL in Pasadena, California and the Director of its Ocean Worlds Lab. His research focuses on the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the solar system with an emphasis on Europa.  From 2011 to 2016, Hand served as Deputy Chief Scientist for Solar System Exploration at JPL. His work has brought him to the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, the sea ice near the North Pole, the depths of the Earth's oceans, and to the glaciers of Kilimanjaro. Dr. Hand was a scientist onboard James Cameron's 2012 dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and he was part of a 2003 IMAX expedition to hydrothermal vents in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. 

Prof. Jim Bell (of Arizona State University), who is a key leader in projects to take images with NASA's rovers on Mars, discusses the history and current state of our exploration of the red planet.  He summarizes the scientific findings from the Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, and Perseverance missions. He puts each mission into the larger context of the questions we are asking -- both about Mars today and about ancient Mars, which could have been far more hospitable for life.

Solutions for such are sought, and from the experience with renewable energy development, such solutions are instituted far more readily if they are profitable. Halophytes - salt plants grown on cheap land (deserts and wastelands) using cheap water (saline, seawater) pumped by cheap photovoltaics - uniquely provides the requisite scale and effects to solve land, water, food, energy, and climate problems. The use of Halophytes as a solution to climate and ecosystem issues brings into production vast new regions; some 44% of our land is deserts/wastelands. There are some 10,000 different Halophyte, which can grow massive amounts of food, release large amounts of the 70% of fresh water now used for agriculture to direct human use. We could literally green the planet and remove CO2 from the atmosphere since Halophytes sequester some 18% of their CO2 uptake. Halophytes are biomass, and can be used for green fuels and petrochemical feed stocks, obviating the need for petroleum based production of such. Overall, the business, climate, and ecosystem benefits are extraordinary. No new technology is required, impacts on climate and ecosystem are prompt and inexpensively obtained.

Could certain gases indicate there's life on other planets? Will this discussion lead to a giant argument between Danny and Zach? Only the latter can be confirmed with certainty. Did a giant crater the size of Hawaii's largest island once crash into the Moon? Leaving a giant mass of metal beneath the surface? It's likely.Does anyone know anything? I used to think women's periods could synch up but apparently that's not true. Space, man. The period thing is related to Space because the moon, too, has monthly cycles. BAM. Is the first article Zach discussed boring or interesting? Chime in on our Insta! @spacewtfdYou guys are nice and stuff. Don't worry about Zach and I snipping at each other. We'll be fine (sly emoji grin). Reference links:Could a gross smelling gas indicate alien life? It certainly had the ability to start a little kerfuffle between Danny and Zach lol: https://www.livescience.com/65791-alien-life-may-spew-toxic-gas.htmlDid a metal asteroid slam into the Moon?
