On Wednesday's show: In a recent ruling, the Texas Supreme Court said it's up to doctors to decide if an abortion is medically necessary under Texas law. Doctors say that exception is too vague. And Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee announced she is running for her seat in Congress again, after losing the race for Houston mayor. We discuss those and other developments in the news in our weekly political roundup. Also this hour: Ahead of the anniversary of the last Apollo mission moonwalk, we revisit a conversation with Poppy Northcutt, the first female engineer to work in NASA's Mission Control during the Apollo program. And we explore why a new generation has embraced the game of mahjong.

Frances "Poppy" Northcutt is an American engineer and attorney who began her career as a "computer", and was later a member of the technical staff of NASA's Apollo program during the Space Race. During the Apollo 8 mission, she became the first female engineer to work in NASA's Mission Control. In this episode, Ben and Poppy discuss the Apollo Era, where there were more "whooping cranes" than female engineers in the 1960's and reveals her famous life coach.

On Tuesday's show: The saga over the fate of Fairfield Lake State Park took a dramatic turn this weekend. Texas Parks and Wildlife commissioners voted unanimously to condemn the park and pursue eminent domain in order to take over the 5,000-acre plot of land southeast of Dallas, so it can remain open for public use. We get an update on that story and on some rules state regulators are considering over where concrete batch plants are built.  Also this hour: Trains stopped on tracks has made traffic a nightmare at times in Houston's East End. A plan to build underpasses aims to help. We discuss why such transportation improvements often take so long and are so complicated. Then, on the heels of a a mayoral candidate forum on arts and culture, we talk with a couple of the folks behind it about what they heard from the candidates and what their priorities are for arts and culture in Houston in the years to come. And we listen back on a 2019 conversation with Poppy Northcutt, the first woman in Mission Control at Johnson Space Center during the Apollo missions.

On today's episode, we have a very special conversation with Frances “Poppy” Northcutt – the first woman engineer to work in NASA's mission control and early trailblazer for representation in the space industry – having worked on several NASA missions including both Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.  We'll discuss her time at NASA, how gender equity in space careers has changed over time, and her inspiring women's rights advocacy work.Frances "Poppy" Northcutt is a Texas attorney who began her career as a "computer" and then an engineer for the technical staff on NASA's Apollo Program during the space race.  During the Apollo 8 mission, she became the first female engineer to work in NASA's Mission Control.  Later in her career, Northcutt became an attorney specializing in women's rights.  In the early 1970s, she served on the national board of directors of the National Organization for Women.  Today, she works and volunteers for several organizations in Houston advocating for abortion rights.We also want to extend a big thank you to our sponsors this year for supporting our show!Learn more about our Gold Sponsor Multiverse Media, an integrated media company focusing on space exploration, science, and technology, and check out the Cislunar Market Opportunities report produced by NewSpace Global, a Multiverse Media property, for a snapshot and user guide to the players and opportunities ahead for the cislunar economy.  To get your own copy please go to cislunar.report and use coupon code citizen10 for 10% off a single user license.Learn more about our Silver Sponsor the Colorado School of Mines Space Resources Program, a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary program that offers Certificate, Master of Science, and Ph.D. degrees for professionals around the world interested in the emerging field of extraterrestrial resources here.Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter and follow us on social media!Instagram: @thecelestialcitizenTwitter: @celestialcitznLinkedIn: Celestial CitizenYouTube: @thecelestialcitizen

Poppy Northcutt was the first woman ever to work in NASA's Mission Control. Her work in the space program made her acutely aware of women's rights issues and she eventually became an attorney who has been on the front lines of abortion rights activism since the days of Roe v Wade.  She & Roger discuss the current Texas abortion law, the strengths & weaknesses of the Pro-Choice movement and Texas politics.

 Poppy Northcutt is a NASA legend and trailblazer.  Northcutt was the first female engineer in Mission Control.  She worked on multiple Apollo missions.  Now retired and on the eve of the NASA/Space X launch Northcutt shares her excitement for commercial space flight.  She also reflects on women in the space aeronautical industry and how this latest mission could capture the interest and attention of the next generation of female space engineers. 

Denne gang med en reportage om Girl's Day in Science. Og nogle svar på, hvorfor der er så få kvinder i naturvidenskab og teknologi. Du kan også høre om den kønsstereotypiske crash test dummy. Alt sammen rejser det spørgsmålet; hvad betyder dette for kvinders sundhed f.eks.?Og det er blot nogle af de historier, vi fortæller i dette første afsnit af vores anden sæson. For yes, NATURLIGVIS fylder (næsten) 1 år med dette afsnit :)Medvirkende er Andrea, Karoline og Maria fra Tårnby Gymnasie & HF.

Nogen burde faktisk lave en dokumentarfilm om hende; det er et vanvittigt spændende og inspirerende liv hun har haft!! For en god ordens skyld skal vi lige påpege, at 'Poppy' Northcut i flg. DR tv-dokumentaren: På jagt efter månen – Det store rumkapløb (4) blev ansat i NASA i 1965. Men i flg. hendes opslag på Wikipidia var hun faktisk ikke ansat, men tilknyttet NASA, idet hun var ansat i TRW, "an aerospace contractor with NASA in Houston..."

Poppy Northcutt was a pioneer—the first woman to work as an engineer in Apollo Mission Control. The program she helped to create got the astronauts back to Earth.  Fifty years later, she sits down with Mat Kaplan for a look back. They are joined by JPL planetary scientist Rosaly Lopes who was inspired to become a STEM professional by Poppy.  You’ll also hear Apollo moonwalkers Buzz Aldrin and Charlie Duke at a 50th anniversary celebration, along with Casey Dreier’s introduction to The Planetary Society’s comprehensive Apollo at 50 resource.

During the Apollo Era, mission control was almost completely exclusive to men. Poppy Northcutt – mission control’s first female engineer – recalls open sexism upon her arrival in the 1960s. Decades later, she returns to Johnson Space Center for another first: She meets a female leader in mission control. See videos and behind the scenes images at HoustonPublicMedia.org/Moon.

Introducing 13 Minutes to the Moon, with Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham and former Apollo engineer Poppy Northcutt - the first woman to work as an engineer in an operational support role in NASA's Mission Control.

Collin and Margaret regain their hope for humanity by watching the inspirational triumph Apollo 13. Margaret relives her middle school creative problem-solving glory days while Collin falls deeper in love with his soulmate Bill Paxton. They discuss Kim Kardashian, five million dollar wristwatches, and unintentionally predict the outcome of the presidential election (sorry, America).   Check out the very real (and very sexist) newspaper profile of Poppy Northcutt, the only woman working in Mission Control during the real Apollo 13 mission: https://news.google.com/newspapers?dat=19700428&id=2uEPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=YYoDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7296,6562645&hl=en
