Anatoly Zak, Hotel Mars, Jan. 7 Weds:The summary below is provided by John Batchelor. You can see this program's video on John's Substack page.Dr. David M. Livingston, doctor of space himself, is here. He is my colleague and co-host and friend and copilot, as we're getting not only into time and space, but we're going back to 1972 to go forward to the moon.We welcome Anatoly Zak, who keeps the very helpful RussianSpaceWeb.com, a subscription site. I heartily recommend it for those of you who lived through the first moon rays during the Cold War of the 20th century.Now we're witnessing a new moon race, this time with a new player on the field: the Chinese space program.However, in 1972, America had won the moon race. In 1969, there were subsequent moon ventures by the Russians and the Americans. We're talking detente, and that would lead to a joint space mission in Earth orbit. But as of that point, the Russians and Roscosmos had ambition to get to the moon—and they still have ambition to get to the moon.And it's totally wonderful to travel to 1972, when I was a much younger fellow and didn't see or didn't know about all these developments in Russia.

Rusia patenta una estación espacial giratoria que creará gravedad artificial para cuidar la salud de astronautas. Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Rusia ha presentado el diseño de una estación espacial que gira para generar gravedad artificial. La idea es sencilla de explicar y compleja de construir: hacer rotar módulos habitables para que la fuerza centrífuga empuje a los astronautas contra el suelo. Así podrían caminar, dormir y trabajar sin flotar. El proyecto parte de un diseño patentado por Energia, justo cuando la International Space Station se acerca a su retiro definitivo. La pregunta es directa: ¿vamos a ver por primera vez una estación espacial donde vivir se parezca más a estar en la Tierra?La idea es antigua, pero los obstáculos técnicos siguen siendo enormes  Desde hace décadas, vivir en el espacio implica flotar. En la Estación Espacial Internacional, los astronautas pasan meses en microgravedad. Esto afecta al cuerpo humano de muchas formas. Los huesos pierden densidad. Los músculos se debilitan. El corazón se acostumbra a bombear sangre sin esfuerzo. Incluso la vista y la memoria pueden cambiar.Rusia quiere atacar ese problema de raíz. El diseño patentado describe una estación que gira cinco veces por minuto. Al hacerlo, genera una fuerza que imita el cincuenta por ciento de la gravedad de la Tierra. No sería como estar en casa, pero sí lo bastante fuerte para caminar sin despegar los pies del suelo.El concepto recuerda a escenas clásicas del cine, como la estación giratoria de 2001: A Space Odyssey, donde los personajes caminan por paredes curvas como si fuera algo normal. El problema de la gravedad no es nuevo. Desde los primeros vuelos espaciales se sabe que el cuerpo humano no está diseñado para vivir mucho tiempo sin peso. En la Estación Espacial Internacional, los astronautas hacen ejercicio unas dos horas al día solo para frenar el deterioro físico. Aun así, muchos regresan a la Tierra con dificultad para caminar.Crear gravedad artificial parece una solución clara, pero construirla es todo menos simple. Una estación giratoria necesita un equilibrio perfecto. Si gira muy rápido, provoca mareos. Si gira lento, no genera fuerza suficiente. En este diseño, los módulos habitables tendrían que extenderse unos cuarenta metros desde el centro para lograr el efecto deseado.Además, montar algo así en órbita es un desafío enorme. Cada pieza debe lanzarse por separado y ensamblarse en el espacio. Acoplar naves a una estructura que está girando añade riesgos que los ingenieros conocen bien.  El plan ruso no llega con fechas ni presupuestos confirmados. Es un diseño patentado, una señal de intención más que una obra en marcha. Aun así, aparece en un momento clave. La Estación Espacial Internacional va a retirarse alrededor de dos mil treinta. Rusia, a través de Roscosmos, ya trabaja en su propia estación orbital, conocida como ROSS, y estudia reutilizar algunos de sus módulos actuales.Mientras tanto, otras potencias avanzan por caminos distintos. NASA y la European Space Agency preparan la estación Lunar Gateway, que va a orbitar la Luna como paso previo a futuras misiones. En paralelo, empresas privadas también exploran estaciones giratorias.Este diseño ruso plantea un futuro mixto: un núcleo central sin rotación para experimentos en microgravedad y brazos exteriores con gravedad parcial para la vida diaria. Una especie de laboratorio y hogar al mismo tiempo.  La idea de una estación giratoria no nació hoy. A comienzos del siglo veinte, el científico ruso Konstantin Tsiolkovskyya hablaba de hábitats espaciales que giraban. Más tarde, el ingeniero Wernher von Braun popularizó el concepto en revistas y documentales.En mil novecientos setenta y cinco, NASA y la Universidad de Stanford propusieron el famoso Stanford Torus, una gigantesca estación en forma de anillo de casi dos kilómetros de diámetro, pensada para diez mil personas. Nunca se construyó.Más recientemente, la empresa estadounidense Vast trabaja en su propio concepto giratorio llamado Haven. Lanzaron un pequeño módulo de prueba y esperan empezar a enviar piezas mayores a partir de dos mil veintiséis.Todo esto muestra que la gravedad artificial sigue siendo una promesa pendiente. Cada intento deja lecciones técnicas, médicas y humanas para el siguiente. Rusia ha patentado una estación espacial que gira para crear gravedad artificial y cuidar la salud de los astronautas. La idea no es nueva, pero el momento es clave. El fin de la Estación Espacial Internacional abre la puerta a nuevas formas de vivir en órbita. ¿Te gustaría vivir en una estación donde se pueda caminar?

La Russie prépare déjà l'après-ISS, et le projet de sa future station spatiale en dit long sur l'état actuel de son programme orbital. Baptisée provisoirement Russian Orbital Service Station, cette infrastructure doit entrer en construction à partir de 2027. Mais les contours du projet ont récemment évolué, révélant une stratégie plus contrainte qu'annoncé.À l'origine, Roscosmos envisageait une station entièrement nouvelle, composée de sept modules lancés progressivement à partir de la fin de la décennie. L'ensemble devait être assemblé dans les années 2030 et inclure, fait notable, des modules privés destinés au tourisme spatial. Une ambition élevée, fidèle à l'héritage soviétique de l'exploration spatiale. La réalité semble aujourd'hui plus pragmatique. Selon des responsables de l'agence spatiale russe, le cœur de cette future station pourrait finalement être constitué… des modules russes de l'actuelle Station spatiale internationale. L'idée serait de détacher ce segment à l'horizon 2030, lorsque l'ISS arrivera en fin de vie, afin de le maintenir en orbite et de le réutiliser. Pendant que la partie internationale serait désorbitée et détruite dans l'atmosphère, la section russe poursuivrait son existence sous une nouvelle bannière. Cette option présente un avantage évident : le coût. Construire une station entièrement neuve exige des investissements colossaux, difficilement compatibles avec la situation économique russe actuelle, marquée par des sanctions technologiques et un budget largement absorbé par l'effort militaire. Réutiliser l'existant permet de maintenir une présence en orbite basse à moindre frais. Mais ce recyclage pose de sérieux problèmes. Les modules russes de l'ISS auront alors passé plus de trente ans dans l'espace. Usure des matériaux, pannes à répétition, fatigue des structures, sans oublier les risques biologiques liés à des décennies d'occupation humaine : les inquiétudes sont nombreuses. Les cosmonautes russes effectuent déjà régulièrement des réparations pour maintenir les systèmes en état de fonctionnement.Au-delà des défis techniques, ce choix traduit un recul stratégique. Tandis que la Chine consolide sa station Tiangong, que l'Inde vise l'autonomie orbitale et que les États-Unis s'appuient sur le secteur privé pour renouveler leur présence spatiale, la Russie semble contrainte de faire avec ce qu'elle a. Cette future station, si elle voit le jour sous cette forme, garantirait une présence symbolique en orbite… mais au prix d'ambitions scientifiques et technologiques nécessairement limitées.

VIAJE Y COLAPSO EN BAJKONUR: Soyuz MS-28 llega a la ISS mientras Rusia pierde su plataforma principal para lanzar astronautas  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Hoy tenemos una historia que combina alegría en órbita y preocupación en tierra. Tres viajeros espaciales llegaron bien a la Estación Espacial Internacional después de un lanzamiento impecable desde el cosmódromo de Baikonur, en Kazajistán. El astronauta de la NASA Chris Williams y los cosmonautas Sergey Kud-Sverchkov y Sergei Mikaev completaron la maniobra de acoplamiento sin contratiempos y entraron a la estación para pasar ocho meses en misiones científicas.  Todo iba perfecto arriba, pero abajo pasaba algo muy distinto. Durante el despegue, una estructura enorme que sirve para trabajar en los motores del cohete se soltó, cayó a un foso y quedó tan dañada que dejó a Rusia sin la capacidad de enviar personas al espacio mientras se hace la reparación. Es la única plataforma que Rusia tenía lista para misiones tripuladas. Ahora vienen semanas de evaluaciones, decisiones técnicas y preguntas que pueden cambiar el futuro inmediato de la estación. Si te gusta este pódcast y quieres que siga creciendo, puedes apoyar el proyecto en el Club de Supporters: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support  El vuelo salió bien, pero la base quedó fuera de servicio  El lanzamiento ocurrió a las 4:27 a.m., hora de la costa este de Estados Unidos. El cohete Soyuz 2.1a subió sin problemas y, nueve minutos y 45 segundos después, liberó la nave Soyuz MS-28 con sus paneles solares abiertos y una ruta precisa hacia la estación. Tres horas después, la tripulación se unió al módulo Rassvet. Chris Williams celebraba su primera misión como astronauta, un paso enorme después de haber trabajado como astrónomo, físico médico y bombero voluntario. Sus dos compañeros, Kud-Sverchkov y Mikaev, completaron la tripulación con experiencia y entrenamiento internacional. La estación pasó a tener once personas trabajando juntas, listas para ingresar a uno de los periodos más activos del año en experimentos.  Mientras ellos flotaban felices, un dron mostraba en Baikonur algo muy distinto: una cabina de mantenimiento de más de 100 toneladas caída sobre el foso por donde escapa el fuego del cohete. Esa cabina debía estar asegurada bajo la plataforma. Al parecer, los bloqueos no aguantaron la presión del despegue. El golpe dejó la estructura destripada y fuera de servicio. Ese detalle importa porque esa cabina es parte del único sitio ruso certificado para lanzar naves tripuladas y las Progress de carga, que ayudan a elevar la estación y a estabilizar su orientación con combustible.  Roscosmos aseguró que tienen repuestos, pero varios expertos dicen que reparar o reemplazar la cabina puede tomar meses. El próximo envío de carga ya tuvo que aplazarse y la estación va a depender más de Dragon y Cygnus para mantener su altura. Esto cambia la balanza: deja a Rusia sin capacidad inmediata de enviar personas y presiona a NASA y SpaceX justo cuando el calendario de la estación está lleno. Falta ver cuánto tarda el diagnóstico oficial y qué tan rápido van a actuar para recuperar la plataforma.  El sitio 31/6 lleva funcionando desde finales de los años 50. Es el único lugar operativo desde donde Rusia puede lanzar misiones tripuladas. Sitios como Plesetsk y Vostochny no sirven para llegar a la órbita de la estación y el histórico Gagarin's Start es hoy un museo. Hay piezas de repuesto en bodegas y existe la opción de desmontar equipos antiguos, pero todo depende de inspecciones y permisos. Mientras tanto, la ISS sigue con once tripulantes y con un calendario de rotación que ahora depende más de SpaceX para mantener los relevos.  La misión Soyuz MS-28 cumplió sin fallas. Pero el daño en Baikonur dejó a Rusia sin plataforma para enviar personas al espacio, una situación que obliga a replantear el calendario de vuelos a la Estación Espacial Internacional. Mientras llegan las evaluaciones, la estación sigue activa.

4. The Failure of the Soviet Zond Program and the Decision to Gamble on Apollo 8. Bob Zimmerman discusses the fierce moon race with the Soviet Union's Roscosmos, which utilized the Zond capsule for circumlunar missions. Zond 5 and 6, launched in late 1968, suffered critical failures (guidance system and atmosphere loss, respectively), forcing the Soviets to cancel their planned manned December flight. Watching this, NASA manager George Low realized the Lunar Module (LM) for Apollo 8 was behind schedule. To maintain the initiative and potentially win the space race, Low and Sam Phillips made the aggressive decision to send Apollo 8 to the moon without the LM "lifeboat." They informed NASA boss James Webb after the decision was finalized. Webb, though initially upset, accepted the decision, betting that the engineering was sound enough to risk the mission in order to prove the US was superior. 1965 APOLLO 1

Brief Summary:John Batchelor and I welcomed our guest, Anatoly Zak of the RussianSpaceWeb.com. Anatoly updated us regarding the continued Russian debates about orbits and costs for a new space station after the ISS is deorbited. Anatoly Zak went into detail about Roscosmos facing challenging questions over the orbit of its new space station, considering both a low-inclination 51-degree orbit or a more expensive near-polar orbit. Our guest outlined the pluses and negatives for both choices. The polar orbit offers an valuable strategic Arctic observation but increases radiation risk and reduces the all important payload capacity for such a mission. Russia's economic realities given the war in Ukraine and sanctions may force Roscosmos to take the cheaper 51-degree orbit, even possibly using existing ISS infrastructure, to ensure an operational station for cosmonauts by 2031.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 29224 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ESCALATION OF RHETORIC IN THE UKRAINE WAR,.. FIRST HOUR 9-915 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears. Anatol Lieven discusses how US President Trump and Russian President Putin agreed to meet in Budapest to discuss ending the Ukraine conflict following a productive call. The meeting, hosted in Viktor Orbán's Hungary, aims to reduce extreme tensions and avoid direct clashes between Russia and NATO. Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 915-930 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears. Anatol Lieven discusses how US President Trump and Russian President Putin agreed to meet in Budapest to discuss ending the Ukraine conflict following a productive call. The meeting, hosted in Viktor Orbán's Hungary, aims to reduce extreme tensions and avoid direct clashes between Russia and NATO. Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 930-945 China's Tech Espionage and the Difficulty of Reverse Engineering Advanced Chip Tools. Chris Riegel discusses how TSMC and ASML technology face constant threats from Chinese industrial espionage. ASML's chipmaking tools are highly complex, making reverse engineering nearly impossible. Europe is waking up to the risks; recently, the Dutch government seized China-owned chipmaker Nexperia. China is estimated to be two to three years behind US high-end chip technology and requires access to advanced ASML tools to catch up. 945-1000 Hostage Situation and Political Realities in Gaza Ceasefire. Cliff May explains how the Gaza ceasefire focuses on the return of hostages, with 19 (including two Americans) still unaccounted for. Hamas is suspected of withholding hostages to retain bargaining power and resist relinquishing political control in phase two of the peace plan. Rhetoric about regional forces disarming Hamas is dismissed. May notes that in the Middle East, there are only permanent battles, viewing the current truce as a hudna, allowing jihadists to regroup and rearm. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize. Evan Ellis discusses how, following the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to opposition leader María Corina Machado, the US escalated pressure on Venezuela. President Trump authorized CIA operations, coupled with naval deployments and B-52 overflights, to pressure the Maduro regime.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Military Pressure Campaigns Maduro Amid Silence from Regional Allies. Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains how Venezuela's illegitimate leader, Maduro, faces escalating pressure from the US, including a Navy flotilla, B-52 flights, and authorized CIA operations. The goal is to compel Maduro and his generals, who profit from transnational crime, to flee. The silence from traditional allies like Russia and China suggests they lack political justification to defend Maduro's record. However, Mexico's president offered no comment regarding Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, reflecting leftist sympathies. 1215-1230 Tariffs Harm Consumers, Reduce Hiring, and Cause Customs Backlogs. Veronique De Rugy explains how tariffs are costing American consumers and businesses over 80% of the expense, leading to higher prices and reduced corporate margins. The tariff policy is harming the job market, causing 40% of CEOs to pause hiring and investments. Customs authorities are overwhelmed by the volume of small packages now requiring assessment, causing significant backlogs and lost goods for consumers. Special interests are expanding the tariff application to derivative products, such as peanut butter packaged in metal containers. 1230-1245 Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station. Anatoly Zak explains how Roscosmos faces a debate over the orbit of its new space station: a low-inclination 51-degree orbit or a more expensive near-polar orbit. The polar orbit offers strategic Arctic observation but increases radiation risk and reduces payload capacity. Economic realities may push Roscosmos toward the cheaper 51-degree orbit, possibly using existing ISS infrastructure, to ensure an operational station for cosmonauts by 2031. 1245-100 AM Russia Debates Orbit and Costs for Post-ISS Space Station.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: Roscosmos Debates New Space Station Orbit: Cost-Effective Soyuz Path Versus Polar Orbit for Northern Survey GUEST NAME: Anatoly Zak 50-WORD SUMMARY: Anatoly Zak discusses Roscosmos's debate on the orbit for a post-ISS space station, balancing money against usefulness. Choosing the 51° orbit allows use of the operational Soyuz vehicle for delivering crews and is the cheapest, simplest, and most economical way to proceed. However, the polar orbit is more conducive for surveying the northern shoreline, which is opening due to ice retreat. 1959 Retry

2025-10-01 | Silicon Wafers 016 | DAILY UPDATES | Lately, there's been a flood of voices in Russian circles admitting that things on the front are nowhere near as rosy as state television makes them out to be. Complaints about high casualties, poor equipment, and a shortage of manpower are everywhere. And crucially, aside from the most die-hard propagandists, almost everyone admits that victory in this war is now out of reach.Dmitry Rogozin—former head of Roscosmos, now commander of the “Bars Sarmat” drone unit and still carrying shrapnel in his backside—recently gave a strikingly gloomy interview. He declared bluntly that the front is at a dead end. He admitted Russia has no chance of winning with its current methods, and that Ukraine's armed forces are ahead in many critical areas. His words are worth looking at carefully. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------Autumn Harvest: Silicon Curtain (Goal €22,000)This is super important.

Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, the First Manned Flight to Another World Author: Bob Zimmerman Segment 1: Setting the Stage: The Cold War and the Genesis of Apollo 8 In late 1968, Apollo 8 was poised for a mission amidst the global Cold War, a period where both sides held apocalyptic views of each other. President Kennedy had tasked Vice President Lyndon Johnson with the goal of reaching the moon, driving NASA's efforts. This race against Roscosmos, the Soviet program, was a battle of ideologies. The mission's crew, Frank Borman, William Anders, and Jim Lovell, were introduced as men with military backgrounds, ready to embark on what both sides believed was a critical moment for a circumlunar mission or moon landing. 1868 Jules Verne. "Aound the Moon."

Avez-vous déjà entendu parler du point Nemo ? C'est un endroit unique sur notre planète. Un lieu dont on dit qu'il est le plus isolé du monde. Mais où se trouve-t-il exactement, et pourquoi fascine-t-il autant ?Le point Nemo est ce qu'on appelle le pôle d'inaccessibilité océanique. En d'autres termes, c'est le point de l'océan le plus éloigné de toute terre émergée. Il se situe dans le sud de l'océan Pacifique, à environ 2 688 kilomètres des trois terres les plus proches : l'île Ducie (au nord), l'île Motu Nui, qui fait partie des îles de Pâques (au nord-est), et l'île Maher, en Antarctique (au sud).Ce point a été calculé pour la première fois en 1992 par un ingénieur croate, Hrvoje Lukatela, à l'aide de modèles informatiques et de coordonnées GPS. Il se trouve aux environs de la latitude 48°52.6′ Sud et de la longitude 123°23.6′ Ouest.Son nom, "Nemo", est bien sûr un clin d'œil au célèbre capitaine du Nautilus dans le roman de Jules Verne "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers". En latin, "nemo" signifie d'ailleurs… "personne". Un nom parfaitement approprié pour ce lieu si reculé.Ce qui rend le point Nemo fascinant, c'est son isolement extrême. Aucune île habitée à l'horizon. Pas de routes maritimes commerciales. Aucun survol régulier d'avion. Si vous vous trouviez là, les humains les plus proches seraient probablement… les astronautes à bord de la Station spatiale internationale, qui passe parfois à seulement 400 km au-dessus de ce point, bien plus près que n'importe quel continent.Le point Nemo est aussi devenu une zone de "cimetière spatial". Depuis les années 1970, les agences spatiales, dont la NASA ou Roscosmos, y font tomber en fin de vie leurs satellites, sondes ou stations spatiales, comme ce fut le cas pour la station MIR en 2001. Pourquoi là ? Justement parce que c'est une zone quasi déserte, minimisant les risques pour les populations et la navigation.Sur le plan biologique, les eaux autour du point Nemo sont très pauvres en vie marine : peu de nutriments, peu de lumière, peu de courant. Un véritable désert aquatique.En résumé, le point Nemo est une sorte de bout du monde maritime. Une curiosité géographique, un symbole de solitude absolue sur Terre — et une petite touche de science-fiction quand on pense que ce sont les astronautes, depuis l'espace, qui peuvent être ses visiteurs les plus proches.

(The Center Square) – The cost to bring home a pair of stranded astronauts that have spent most of a year in space aboard the International Space Station could be as much as $150 million. Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, along with Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, boarded a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and splashed down in the Gulf of America near the Big Bend region of Florida late Tuesday afternoon. Williams and Wilmore arrived on the Space Station on June 6 and had spent 286 days in space, stranded because of issues with the Boeing Dreamliner spacecraft, which later returned without them in September.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_c0d9606e-04c8-11f0-9fa1-cba34c98f87b.html

1/2: #HOTEL MARS: Russian tests of the Sarmat and operations of MS-Soyuz and development of PTK Ortel crewed vehicle.  Anatoly Zak, RussianSpaceWeb.com 1994 Roscosmos

On episode 354, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov of discuss their mission, personal life, and preparation ahead of their launch to the station. 

My special guest is L.A. Marzulli who's here to discuss what he thinks the alien phenomena really is and why everyone should be worried.     This book exposes the UFO phenomena, alien abductions, cattle mutilations, alien implants, and direct contact. It postulates that these are interdimensional beings not entities from another planet. It further exposes what may be the coming great deception as prophesied in the Bible.   Some sightings involving astronauts or NASA include: During the Gemini 4 mission, pilot Jim McDivitt spotted an object that he described as a "white cylindrical shape with a white pole sticking out of one corner of it." He took two pictures of it. His partner, Ed White, was asleep at the time.[5] McDivitt maintains that it was some unknown but man-made piece of debris, while James Oberg argues that it was most likely the Titan II second stage of the craft.[6] In a transcript of Gemini 7 mission, the astronauts mention a "bogey" which ufologists have claimed was a reference to a UFO.[7] Oberg, based on his trajectory analysis of the mission, describes the astronauts' comments about a "bogey" as referring to booster-associated debris, and not a reference to some sort of UFO.[8] The astronaut who made the comments, Frank Borman, later confirmed that what he saw was not a UFO, and that when he offered to go on the television show Unsolved Mysteries to clarify, the producers told him, "Well, I'm not sure we want you on the program."[7] Within the UFO community, stories have spread that Neil Armstrong was reported to have witnessed multiple UFOs during Apollo 11.[9] An explanation was that the sightings could have been attributed to jettisoned components. Additional stories were accredited to a hoax spread by science fiction writer Otto Binder.[1] Buzz Aldrin says his words were taken out of context from an interview in 2005 about the incident.[3] During a 2005 spacewalk outside the International Space Station, astronaut Leroy Chiao reported seeing lights in a formation he described as "in a line" and "almost like an upside-down check mark".[4] The incident was promoted as a possible UFO sighting in the television series Are We Alone?.[4]Chiao later identified the lights as being from fishing boats "hundreds of miles below".[4] In August 2013, according to NASA TV, astronaut Christopher Cassidy saw a UFO float past the International Space Station near its Progress 52 cargo ship.[10] It was soon identified by Russian flight controllers as an antenna cover from the Zvezda service module.[10] On August 19, 2020, Cosmonaut Ivan Vagner posted a video on Twitter featuring UFOs on a time lapse he recorded of the Aurora Australis. Vagner dubbed the objects "space guests" with Roscosmos quote tweeting Vagner to say “An interesting and at the same time mysterious video made by the cosmonaut of Roscosmos Ivan Wagner from the International Space Station.”Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio
