Join Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi as they review some of their favorite hacks and projects of the past week. The episode starts with a discussion about the recently announced Artemis II crew, and how their mission compares to the Apollo program of the 1960s and 70s. From there, the pair theorize as to why Amazon's family of Echo devices have managed to evade eager hardware hackers, take a look at a very impressive SMD soldering jig created with some fascinating OpenSCAD code, marvel at the intersection of art and electronic design, and wonder aloud where all the cheap motorized satellite dishes are hiding. Stick around for some questionable PCB design ideas, a Raspberry Pi expansion that can read your mind, and the first flight of a (semi) hydrogen-powered aircraft. Check out the links over at Hackaday.

Psychiatrist, aviator and explorer, Bertrand Piccard made history in 1999 by accomplishing the first ever non-stop round-the-world balloon flight, and a number of years later the first round-the-world solar-powered flight. Piccard has dedicated his life to demonstrating sustainable development opportunities. He is Founder and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, which has assembled a verified portfolio of over 1400 actionable and profitable climate solutions. As a pioneer of new ways of thinking that reconcile ecology and economy, he uses his exploration feats to motivate governments and industries to take action. He is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment, Special Advisor to the European Commission, and is author of Réaliste, Changer d'Altitude, and other books."So this is why I prefer to speak with a really down to earth language. So maybe the people who love nature are going to say, 'Oh, Bertrand Piccard, now he is too down to earth. He's speaking about profitable solutions. He's speaking to the industries that are polluting,' but we have to speak to the industries that are polluting and bring them profitable solutions, otherwise the world will never change, or humankind will never change. And don't forget one thing, what we are damaging is not the beauty of nature. What is being damaged is the quality of life of human beings on Earth because we can still have beautiful things to see, but if we have climate change, if we have tropical disease in Europe, if we have heat waves, floods, droughts, millions of climate refugees, life will be miserable, even if nature is still beautiful.”Solar Impulse Foundationbertrandpiccard.comSolar Impulse Solutions Explorer (1400+)RéalisteChanger d'altitudewww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.infoPhoto credit: Philipp Böhlen

We've been flying planes with engines for over a century, so have a guess at the record for the longest duration of powered flight - more than two months! And it was set more than half a century ago.

Most of us would prefer to avoid an argument at work or at home. But there are times when arguments—at least when they're civil—can help surface important information for decision-making. In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at situations where certain types of conflict can actually lead to better outcomes.You're probably familiar with the story of Orville and Wilbur Wright. The Wright brothers secured their place in history by achieving the world's first sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in December of 1903. Less well known is the fact that the brothers would often argue intensely with each other over their engineering ideas.Tom Crouch reveals the family culture of argument and debate inside the Wright home as the brothers were growing up, and he explains how that argumentative streak may have helped them solve a key problem in their quest for powered flight.Tom D. Crouch is curator emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution and the author of The Bishop's Boys: A Lifeof Wilbur and Orville Wright.A version of the Wright Brothers story appears in Adam Grant's new book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know. Adam joins Katy to discuss how you can leverage constructive conflict to arrive at better decisions. He also explains how agreeableness can sometimes hold you back. Adam Grant is the Saul P. Steinberg Professor of Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He's also host of the popular TED podcast WorkLife.Finally, Katy provides advice on how to find the right level of task conflict in order to maximize the creativity and innovation that comes from collaborative problem solving.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

NASA hits the bullseye with the successful deployment of its autonomous Ingenuity drone at Jezero Crater on Mars. This 'tech demo' paves the way for future drone missions where vast distances can be easily covered and previously inaccessible terrain studied from the air.

As Ingenuity flies for just under forty seconds on Mars, President Biden pledges another $1.5 billion to the NASA coffers, former Shuttle Commander Pamela Melroy receives a nomination to the Deputy NASA Administrator post, SpaceX's Starship is chosen to land Artemis on the Moon and a partnership here in Brisbane will lead to the countries […] The post Humanities First Powered Flight on Another Planet! : Supanova Week Continues With Talkin' Science appeared first on Trekzone.

Nasa’s Ingenuity helicopter has had its Wright Brothers moment after it successfully launched off Mars. The test was the tiny helicopter’s baby step towards proving powered flight on another world. Plus, why young people who’ve previously had Covid-19 are to be deliberately re-infected with the virus, Facebook set ‘to launch audio-social products’, two men killed in Tesla, which officials say had no one at the wheel, and the Lord of the Rings MMO is officially cancelled.

The DaSH project is the first successful HPA that has flown in the U.S. since the mid-1990s. Leaning on and learning from the advice and knowledge of those that have been successful in the past was key to having DaSH fly well from the very first flight. Alec will talk about what choices were made in the design that led to that success, but most of all he will focus on all the interesting failures and setbacks that happened during the design and testing phases, and what has been learned from them. How can DaSH be improved, and what are some other, perhaps better ways to build a similar plane in the future? The speaker will then focus on the role of contests, rallies and school projects in creating interest and excitement, and most importantly, viable, flying aircraft. Can HPA flying become a sport? What would that look like? What should the focus be as we try to foster and build and even more vibrant HPA community?

Daniel dives into the world of materials engineering as he discusses the creation of the world's first human-powered helicopter with engineer Aidan Muller! As usual, things take a turn for the random as space elevators, high tech bikes, and Wikipedia all fall under discussion!

In episode 16, we called up Roman Kalyakin, co-founder of Flystein, the "genius powered flight search". We had a little chat about what team Flystein does, how they do it, and how it makes traveling a whole lot easier for anyone who has ever felt the pain of trying to find good flight deals.

What can we learn from a shoulder joint? Smithsonian Predoctoral Fellow Daniel Field examines osteological correlates of flying ability, helping settle debates about when powered flight evolved and which fossil birds were capable of flying.

From the first flight to supersonic air-travel was achieved in under 50 years. To discover what made it all possible we look at the advances in technology, engineering and materials that were needed, and the social and political pressures that drove the field forward since the first tentative steps toward take-off in the 1870s...
