Podcasts about Richard Easton

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) regains his comfy old guest seat in order to unpack Dead Again, the 1991 neo-noir romantic thriller about a private investigator's mission to help an amnesiac and nonverbal woman recover her memories—a path that ends up uncovering a strange connection between her and a murder from several decades ago. Thoughts on Kenneth Branagh as a director, Robin Williams being talented enough to distract us from the exposition-dumping of his side role, showing love for the tropes of amnesia and hypnotism, and nostalgia for older thrillers from the 90s or so that were willing to go places (including Kiss the Girls and What Lies Beneath) arise as a few of the topics for this episode.Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Dead Again stars Branagh, Emma Thompson, Derek Jacobi, Wayne Knight, Andy Garcia, Robin Williams, Richard Easton, Jo Anderson, Hanna Schygulla, Campbell Scott, and Miriam Margolyes.Spoilers for What Lies Beneath start at 33:00 and end at 33:50Spoilers for Dead Again start at 34:40Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Andy: Candy Cain Kills and Candy Cain Kills Again: The Second Slaying by Brian McAuley• Arthur: Dinner in AmericaReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones, about the remarkable history behind the Global Positioning System and its ripple effects on technology, secrecy, and innovation. They trace the story from Roger Easton's early work on time navigation and atomic clocks to the 1973 approval of the GPS program, the Cold War's influence on satellite development, and how civilian and military interests shaped its evolution. The conversation also explores selective availability, the Gulf War, and how GPS paved the way for modern mapping tools like Google Maps and Waze, as well as broader questions about information, transparency, and the future of scientific innovation.

Richard Easton explains that the Navy and Air Force each had different ideas for navigation satellites in the 1960s. The Navy wanted mid-Earth orbits with autonomous atomic clocks, while the Air Force preferred ground-controlled repeaters in geostationary orbit. The eventual compromise in 1973 created the modern GPS structure—24 satellites in six constellations—which balanced accuracy, independence, and resilience.Atomic clocks made global navigation possible. Roger Easton's early insight was that improving atomic clock precision would one day enable real-time positioning. The hydrogen maser, developed in 1960, became the breakthrough technology that made GPS feasible. This innovation turned a theoretical idea into a working global system and also advanced timekeeping for scientific and financial applications.Civilian access to GPS was always intended. Contrary to popular belief, GPS wasn't a military secret turned public after the Korean airliner tragedy in 1983. Civilian receivers, such as TI's 4100 model, were already available in 1981. Reagan's 1983 announcement merely reaffirmed an existing policy that GPS would serve both military and civilian users.The Gulf War proved GPS's strategic value. During the 1991 conflict, U.S. and coalition forces used mostly civilian receivers after the Pentagon lifted “selective availability,” which intentionally degraded accuracy. GPS allowed troops to coordinate movement and strikes even during sandstorms, changing modern warfare.Secrecy and innovation were deeply intertwined. Easton recounts how classified projects like GRAB and POPPY—satellites disguised as scientific missions—laid technical groundwork for navigation systems. The crossover between secret defense projects and public science fueled breakthroughs but also obscured credit and understanding.Ending selective availability unleashed global applications. When the distortion feature was turned off in May 2000, GPS accuracy improved instantly, leading to new industries—geocaching, precision agriculture, logistics, and smartphone navigation. This marked GPS's shift from a defense tool to an everyday utility.Innovation's future may rely on decentralization. Reflecting on his father's era and today's landscape, Easton argues that bureaucratic “big science” has grown sluggish. He sees promise in smaller, independent innovators—helped by AI, cheaper satellites, and private space ventures like SpaceX—continuing the cycle of technological transformation that GPS began.

Forget Korean Air 007: GPS was always meant for civilians.What if everything you thought you knew about GPS was wrong? Far from being a secret military tool reluctantly unlocked after tragedy in 1983, GPS was designed with civilian use in mind from the very beginning — and surveyors were using it years before most of us had heard of it.Paul Bavill welcomes writer and researcher Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones. With a unique perspective — his father, Roger Easton, is one of GPS's credited inventors — Richard debunks the biggest misconceptions about GPS and reveals the surprising story of its development.You'll discover:The Civilian Myth: Why GPS was never “military-only” — and who used it first.The Korean Airliner 007 Story: Why the 1983 tragedy did not open GPS to the world.The Lonely Halls Meeting: How the tale of GPS being “invented over a weekend” simply doesn't hold up.Selective Availability: Why the US government deliberately degraded civilian signals — and why that ended.The Bigger Picture: How GPS fits into a global system alongside GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou.Join us for a myth-busting conversation that rewrites the story of GPS, replacing legends with the truth of politics, persistence, and surprising civilian allies. To dive deeper, grab Richard's book GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones.

This was a special 2-hour, 16-minute Zoom program.On The Space Show website, the program is available in the audio-only format. Both video and audio are available on this Substack page.Our discussion focused on the development and evolution of GPS and the recently declassified PARCAE satellite technology. We explored their origins, technical challenges, historical context, and how they interconnected with agencies like the NRO, NRL, and broader advances in computing and satellite technologies. The conversation covered early proposals, the declassification process, and the crucial role of timekeeping, atomic clocks, and Einstein's relativity in enabling this groundbreaking work. Our guests also shared perspectives on future applications, innovation “back in the day,” system resilience, and the shift from strategic to tactical intelligence using satellites like GRAB and POPPY.After introductions, Richard provided an in-depth overview of our special guests and the PARCAE project. Lee began by referencing a 1957 Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) document that proposed two major satellite programs, one of which was PARCAE. He also shared that he is currently writing a book on the evolution of these systems, including GRAB, POPPY, and PARCAE.We examined how GPS and PARCAE—two closely linked programs—emerged. GPS, which began development in the late 1950s, utilized passive ranging for uniform accuracy across satellite constellations. PARCAE evolved from early reconnaissance satellites and focused on collecting radar signals globally, especially from the Soviet Union. GPS's ability to provide accurate geolocation greatly enhanced PARCAE's capabilities. Lee emphasized the importance of 3D mapping and global time synchronization in improving satellite positioning accuracy. We also discussed the difficulties of orbital prediction, relativistic corrections, and the eventual declassification of GPS for civilian use. Note what our guests said about getting so much data that they were overwhelmed and the early computers could not really handle.On the military front, we addressed how GPS was used for targeting and precision strikes. In response to a listener question, Lee explained that as early as 1966, the goal was to accurately know the location of both the user and the target to direct weapons effectively. The challenges included creating precise maps and compensating for Earth's motion. The GPS system reached full operational capability in 1995, evolving from 15-foot accuracy in 1977 to today's much finer resolution. The conversation also covered the complexity of GPS—its integration across organizations, multiple technologies, and the development of similar systems by other nations. Our guests discussed the foundational work of pioneers like Roger Easton (Richard's father), John Foster, Alexander Flax, Alan Berman, John McLucas, David Packard, and others.Later, a listener asked the guests to share their educational and career backgrounds. Lee spoke about earning his bachelor's in electrical engineering from Penn State, where he gained early experience in transistor design. His career took off when he was recruited by Singer and later the NRL after his work during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Peter, an EE graduate from Purdue, also found his way to NRL. Richard shared his own background as well. All three emphasized the importance of self-education and the freedom they had to explore ideas across disciplines—something they felt was essential to their success.Peter reflected on GPS evolution and expressed regret about abandoning UHF transmissions, which might have enhanced performance in forested areas. Lee emphasized the need for cost reduction in future GPS upgrades and the importance of cross-disciplinary exposure for young minds. Peter recounted how Roger Easton proposed passive ranging and how Alan Berman's expertise in atomic clocks was instrumental in advancing GPS. Peter also shared insights into clock accuracy improvements for space use and how he initially doubted such improvements were possible—until he realized it required different physics principles. When asked about using GPS on the Moon and Mars, both Peter and Lee explained the limitations. While GPS signals can be detected on the Moon, a local positioning system might be more practical. On Mars, environmental challenges like dust storms complicate signal transmission. Later, Peter discussed the Clementine mission, which mapped the Moon using cameras initially developed for the Strategic Defense Initiative. Lee noted how Clementine's data later supported encryption and high-speed networks in education and defense. They also addressed early GPS launches—Peter developed a cost-effective launch solution using surplus ICBMs, and Lee praised Peter's innovative "bow and arrow" launch method.Peter and Lee described the technical precision required for GPS accuracy, including clock modulation and carrier frequency synchronization. Applications like tectonic plate monitoring were among the early uses. Concerns were raised about GPS vulnerability in nuclear environments and its role in nuclear targeting. Peter expressed alarm over the potential for nations like North Korea to disrupt GPS via high-altitude nuclear detonations. We ended with a discussion on hypersonic weapons and the challenges of tracking them due to plasma interference with electromagnetic signals.The program concluded with a listener question about whether today's education system can produce the kind of innovation seen in early satellite development. All three guests expressed concerns, citing the need for more emphasis on freedom to explore and pursue self-education.

Jim welcomes Richard D. Easton to the show to discuss the history of how GPS came to be the invaluable tool that is used today.

For the past 60 years, following the trail blazed by Sputnik, we’ve put thousands of satellites into orbit, looping sentinels that serve critical functions in modern society, transmitting TV and radio signals, tracking the weather, and providing communications and positioning channels that serve a range of military and civilian needs. In this episode, we talk about one such technology, which has transformed everyday life for the 4billion people – nearly half the globe’s population - who use smartphones. That’s the GPS tracking feature which means most of us couldn’t get lost, even if we wanted to; and which is making good old paper maps (the ones you never could fold right anyway) increasingly obsolete. Join Karen as she speaks with guest Richard Easton, who brings a unique viewpoint on the roots of this innovation, having grown up as the son of a Naval Research Laboratories physicist who led the charge in developing America’s first satellites in the 1950s, in the Silicon Valley of its time. So - get those white jackets on, we’re headed to the lab! (recorded over zoom)
