Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The Blue Origin New Shepherd flight, with an all-female crew, launched on April 14, 2025. From launch to return, conspiracies exploded all over the Internet with claims that the rocket was fake, the return capsule was fake, it was all staged, space isn't real, and so on. Author and model Emily Ratajkowski made it political, saying: "It just speaks to the fact that we are absolutely living in an oligarchy where there is a small group of people who are interested in going to space for the sake of getting a new lease on life while the rest of the population, most people on planet Earth, are worried about paying rent or having dinner for their kids.” And she is correct in a way, additionallu since Kalpana Chawla and Sally Ride seem to be ignored as pioneers of women in space. Rather than discussing such things, perhaps we should look at the significance of the names, dates, and symbols involved instead.Preparations for the flight were lengthy, but pre-flight would have begun on Palm Sunday, with the actual launch and return occurring on Holy Monday. As with the return of spring and resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, both relating to death, life, and rebirth, so too does the Blue Origin capsule and mission exemplify these characteristics - from the all female crew to the messages of unity and peace displayed from start to finish, and finally to the nature of the rocket itself, which resembles an erect penis with exaggerated head. This penis projectile penetrated the blue above with its white sperm-head load being returned to the ground below at the onset of spring. The capsule carrying the women was named New Shepherd, a moniker of Jesus Christ (“I am the good shepherd” - John 10:11) and various other deities such as Orpheus and Hermes-Mercury (guide of souls known as Good Shepherd), who held sacred The Path. These shepherds or civilizers included Quetzalcoatl, and Osiris, or the green god of Egypt. It was Osiris who presided over the Hall of Judgement in the underworld, a place where the deceased's heart was weighted against the feather (often blue) of Ma'at, goddess of truth and justice. If the heart weighed more, being heavy with desire, it was consumed by the beast Ammit, but if the feather, or soul, weighed more, then it was set free with eternal life and granted passaged to the Field of Reeds. Although such Egyptian reeds to do not grow in Texas, similar plants and reeds do, which is a critical detail because this is where the spent white (sperm) capsule returned to earth. The logo of Blue Origin is also a blue feather, which shares something in common with the former Twitter-X logo and the alternative Blue Sky butterfly logo. One of the most famous people inside the capsule was Katy Perry, who had the nickname of “feather” since childhood, something not overlooked as she wore the blue feather on her suit during the mission. As seen in her Dark Horse video and in a 2019 social media post, Perry often references Egyptian mythology, and particularly that the heart should be lighter than a feather. Symbol dictionaries will tell us that a bird represents thought, imagination, synthesis, and sublimation. In Egypt, the bird was BA - the soul. A blue bird in particular is a representation of pure ideas. Blue butterflies represent transformation and new life, i.e., spring. In Greek mythology, the butterfly famously refers to the soul or mind, hence its name psyche.Perry is also on the New Shepherd video holding both a blue butterfly in one shot and a white daisy in another shot. These flowers represent much the same thing butterflies and birds symbolize, though they have a direct connection to the Norse goddess Freya, for whom Friday (Good Friday) is named. Furthermore, in Christian symbolism, a white daisy is the flower of the Virgin Mary, which historically has been a title and a surname of magdal-elder, meaning Watchtower of the Flock, the same flock the shepherd watches over. The Irish goddess Brigid (also Brighid) presided over the festival of Imbolc, an early spring holy day celebrating the end of winter. Known as the Exalted One, she was a goddess of healing, fertility, and birth. From The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Mythology, authors Arthur Cotterell and Rachel Storm confirm this: “Brigid, sometimes known as Brigit, was a goddess of healing and fertility who was believed to assist women in labour.” Spring is, of course, when the earth is reborn. Some have pointed out that the NS-31 logo can be inverted to show not a spaceship but a goat head, which is perhaps one of the most misunderstood symbols in the western world. The goat is Capricorn, Pan, Cernunnos, and various other characters with horns and features that remind many of the Devil, largely due to the usage of goats for the relieving of sin - scapegoats (Leviticus 16:8-10). It is from the goat horns that we get the term “horny,” yet another reference to sexuality and reproduction.  It is therefore no surprise that Jack Parsons, the infamous rocket engineer, invoked the name of the Greek god Pan before most rocket tests. Pan is a fertility god, and his invocation provides fertility for the test, the sexual imagery of the rocket itself, and so on. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Six feminists blasted into space on one of Jeff Bezos’ rocket ships wearing custom-made, form-fitting space suits. The gals said they were putting the “ass into astronaut.” Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, must be rolling over in her grave.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sally Ride became a household name after she became the first American woman to blast off into space. But as Sally journeyed among the stars, she kept a nearly three-decade relationship with author and tennis player Tam O'Shaughnessy a secret.rnrnOn Saturday, April 5th, the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) will screen SALLY, a chronicle of Sally Ride's challenges as a pioneering woman in STEM, and the sacrifices made during her years together with her life partner. For the first time, SALLY tells the whole story of this complicated and iconic astronaut. From National Geographic Documentary Films, SALLY is directed by Emmy(R) Award-winning filmmaker Cristina Costantini.rnrnYet, this film also comes at a fragile time in America's political climate, where once again the LGBTQ+ community is caught in the crosshairs. Add to this, an anti-DEI movement that many believe will threaten to set back decades of progress for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Are we destined to confront the same challenges as Sally did in the 1980s?

A Note from James: Probably no president has fascinated this country and our history as much as John F. Kennedy, JFK. Everyone who lived through it remembers where they were when JFK was assassinated. He's considered the golden boy of American politics. But I didn't know this amazing conspiracy that was happening right before JFK took office. Best-selling thriller writer Brad Meltzer, one of my favorite writers, breaks it all down. He just wrote a book called The JFK Conspiracy. I highly recommend it. And we talk about it right here on the show. Episode Description: Brad Meltzer returns to the show to reveal one of the craziest untold stories about JFK: the first assassination attempt before he even took office. In his new book, The JFK Conspiracy, Brad dives into the little-known plot by Richard Pavlik, a disgruntled former postal worker with a car rigged to explode. What saved JFK's life that day? Why does this story remain a footnote in history? Brad shares riveting details, the forgotten man who thwarted the plot, and how this story illuminates America's deeper fears. We also explore the legacy of JFK and Jackie Kennedy, from heroism to scandal, and how their "Camelot" has shaped the presidency ever since. What You'll Learn: The true story of JFK's first assassination attempt in 1960. How Brad Meltzer uncovered one of the most bizarre historical footnotes about JFK. The untold role of Richard Pavlik in plotting to kill JFK and what stopped him. Why Jackie Kennedy coined the term "Camelot" and shaped JFK's legacy. Parallels between the 1960 election and today's polarized political climate.

In this episode of She's Not Done Yet: Conversations with Women over 50, Becky Berry (that's me) talks with author Laura Carroll. When Laura's publicist reached out to me about interviewing Laura about her book, “A Special Sisterhood: 100 Fascinating Women from History Who Never Had Children,” I jumped on the opportunity. Women's history is one of my absolute favorite topics. And I love that Laura included the goddesses of ancient Greece to Sally Ride. Laura is a veteran writer who has written several books including, “Finding Fulfillment From the Inside Out” on changing careers and “Families of Two: Interviews with Happily Married Couples without Children By Choice.” In our chat, Laura and I talk about how she chose these 100 women from the 300+ she had researched, the importance of reclaiming women's history, and the current trends in forcing women to have children. I was particularly struck by the number of female secular martyrs she included. It's a topic a lot of books avoid. The book is fascinating, and our talk was enlightening. Hope you enjoy it!

Space is the final frontier — and not too long ago, to explore it you had to be a man. Cady Coleman is a former NASA astronaut, retired U.S. Air Force colonel, scientist, pilot and musician. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how hearing Sally Ride speak changed the trajectory of her life and what months on the International Space Station taught her about career and motherhood. Her book is “Sharing Space: An Astronaut's Guide to Mission, Wonder, and Making Change.”

We jump right back in where we left off in Part 1 of our interview with Dr. Cady Coleman, astronaut, chemist, engineer, flautist, and most recently, the author of “Sharing Space: An Astronaut's Guide to Mission, Wonder, and Making Change.” (If you missed it, listen to Part 1 here.)  Chuck asks Cady to tell us more about NASA's decision to not include small and extra-large spacesuits to “save space.” She explains how, a few months later, they reinstated the extra-large suits, but not the small suits that affected about a third of the women, and the serious impact that decision had. Chuck and Cady discuss the importance of diverse perspectives in the exploration of space. And then Cady offers her ideas about how to change the world for the better and the importance of doing what you can to help the people who come next. You'll hear about astronaut Ron Garan and his nonprofit's efforts to provide millions of filter straws to allow people in Africa to have access to safe, clean water. And you'll hear about how you can purposefully shift your own perspectives. For Part 2's first question, Anne W. a student at “The School Without Walls” in Washington, D.C., asks, “What are some common reasons as to why people don't become astronauts after starting training?” Cady explains why that rarely happens, mostly due the quality of the candidates who make it that far. But Cady then talks about why some people who should get selected to become astronauts don't, and she shares some of her reasoning for the applicants she's selected. The reason Cady stresses most is that if you don't show them who you really are on the application, they cannot pick you. And she also explains the surprising reason why some astronauts who have flown already don't get selected to go again. The conversation circles back to diversity and bias in NASA. Allen shares the story of test pilot Ed Dwight, which he believes reflects some racial bias. Cady, who knew Ed, talks about some of the political factors in the choice, but also what an amazing artist he became. She reflects on the importance of Sally Ride in her life, and wonders what would have happened if the original Mercury 13 had been allowed to become astronauts back in the 60s. Charles and Allen bring up Valentina Tereshkova, the cosmonaut who became the first woman in space in 1963, and how it took until 1983 for Sally Ride to take her famous flight as the first American woman. And yes, Cady does bring up “For All Mankind!” and “the role that art and storytelling can play to move the needle a little faster.” For our final question, Allen shares a question from our podcast producer Leslie M., who asks, “Would materials behave differently in a different universe?” Cady, a chemical engineer who studied chemistry at M.I.T. and then got her Ph.D. degree in polymer science and engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, says yes. And that kicks off a discussion of the impact of different physics on different materials. But Cady also talks about the importance of using the compelling nature of space to drive kids to want to become more educated and to improve life here on Earth. In addition to Cady's new book, Cady was recently in a documentary on PBS, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV, along with her family, NASA personnel and other astronauts. It's called “Space: The Longest Goodbye” and it's about how we are going to send people to Mars and put the human into human spaceflight.

Kevin Wright, vice president of production and development at Marvel Studios, has left the media giant to pursue producing his own original tv and film ideas. Notably, Wright was an executive producer for the MCU streaming series Loki, which was actually his pitch to Kevin Feige and series star Tom Hiddleston. Wright originally started at Marvel as a development assistant. Happy Hunger Games! At least certainly for fans of the franchise as author Suzanne Collins announced a new installment in her Hunger Games saga called Sunrise on the Reaping, which will release March 18, 2025. The book is another prequel like The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Alongside this announcement, Lionsgate shared that a film adaptation of the new book is already greenlit and currently set to premiere on November 20, 2026. At a panel for The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim at the Annecy Animation Festival, 20 minutes of the film was shown to the audience. The footage was applauded by the crowd and by Andy Serkis, who was running the panel. Serkis also revealed at the event that Miranda Otto, who played Eowyn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy will serve as the story's narrator and that Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh were executive producers on the film, which hits theaters in December. Maybe franchise fever still exists! One would think so after seeing that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's latest team up, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, crushed its opening weekend projections, opening at $104.6 million globally. The film punished Furiosa's opening with a 58% higher box office. Abbott Elementary actor Tyler James Williams asked Anthony Mackie about the challenges he faced transitioning Sam Wilson from films to television. Paraphrasing, Mackie said “Bringing Falcon to that series, there was so much time to fill. It's literally so much story and so much exposition and so much character that it's a daunting task. Luckily it was just a great experience with great leadership.” Legendary has tapped Grant Sputore to direct the next theatrical outing in the Monsterverse franchise following March's Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Sputore most recently helmed the 2019 sci-fi movie I Am Mother. Kristen Stewart will make her TV series-starring debut in The Challenger, a limited series in which she'll play Sally Ride, the astronaut and physicist who became the first American woman to fly in space. Paul Giamatti has joined the cast of Paramount's Star Trek Starfleet Academy as a recurring guest star role and as the season's central villain. Set in the same era as The Acolyte, the next adult novel of Phase III of The High Republic from Star Wars releases on June 11. Stars of 1998's cult classic Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, are in talks to star in a sequel.

in the words of the wonderful lyricist Bernie Taupin, sorry seems to be the hardest word.  Especially if I have to say it many times in one intro.  There are a number of inaccurate or potential litigation-bait statements on this week's program and I'd like to profusely apologize for several of them, but perhaps not all of them. I'M SORRY #1 :  I regret to referring to decorated astronaut Sally Ride (above)  as "a school teacher" (she was, of course, a physicist) and no, she did not perish on the ill-fated Challenger Space Shuttle.  I'd mixed her up with the late Christa McAuliffe. I'M SORRY #2 :  during the show's first mic break, I claimed Consumer Electronics were playing Hotel Vegas on January 19.  The show is in fact, JUNE 19.  If this has in any way impacted your January travel, that's really a shame (but you should really double check this stuff, especially if you're booking a trip 6 months away, who does that)I'M SORRY #3 :  I suggested that after said event, Hotel Vegas' patio, "will never be the same".  In reality, absolutely nothing will change. Hopefully we'll have some news in the next week or two about this show re : East Village Radio, but to be perfectly honest I am already having difficulty with the program director's "less talk, more rock" edict.  Less so about the rock part (i love following orders about what to play), but less talk likely means fewer opportunities to apologize at the end of the episode.  Which means MORE TYPING.

Do you know your history?  How much do you see yourself represented in the history books today? Dr. Seema Yasmin set out to provide education for both kids and adults with her latest book "The ABCs of Queer History". In this episode of the podcast Joe and Dr. Yasmin get into a great conversation around representation and the importance of knowing all the various historical figures who helped shape history but may not be in your textbooks. Enjoy! About Dr. Seema Yasmin Dr. Seema Yasmin is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, medical doctor, and professor. She is director of the Stanford Health Communication Initiative, clinical assistant professor in Stanford University's Department of Medicine, and visiting professor at the Anderson School of Management at UCLA where she teaches crisis management and communications. Yasmin was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in breaking news in 2017 with a team from The Dallas Morning News, and she is the recipient of two awards from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

About 'The ABCs of Queer History' In this beautiful picture book brimming with P for Pride, writer and poet Seema Yasmin and illustrator Lucy Kirk introduce a different kind of ABCs—not just words like apple, ball or cat, but rather what it means to be diverse, to be equitable, and to be inclusive.

FREE PLAYBOOK: How Local Governments Can Prepare for the FDTA In this episode of Where Public Finance Works, we're joined by Megan Kilgore, the accomplished City Auditor of Columbus, Ohio. Megan takes us through her journey from a child inspired by public figures like Margaret Thatcher and Sally Ride to becoming a leading force in one of America's fastest-growing cities. She shares her passion for public service and how her upbringing in a hardworking, blue-collar family shaped her values and a people-first approach to government finance. Join our host, Tyler Traudt, as he leads us through Megan's insights on the complexities of managing a city's finances during rapid growth and maintaining trust with a diverse populace. Megan discusses the innovative solutions her office has implemented, including deploying technology to enhance efficiency without losing the crucial human touch that ensures services are people-focused. Touching upon the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA), Megan addresses misconceptions around governmental fraud and the act's intention to modernize financial reporting. She shares her passionate view that the FDTA isn't about defending against fraud but rather about democratizing data, making information more accessible and easier to understand, which ultimately serves the public good. Megan's drive for modernization — from "COBOL to cloud" — has marked her tenure as City Auditor, and her leadership has seen Columbus through significant fiscal challenges. This episode not only explores the strategic financial initiatives Megan has spearheaded but also reveals her belief in the creativity and capability of government workers to innovate and excel in public finance management. Featured Guest City Auditor of Columbus, Megan Kilgore, is the first woman elected to this executive branch position in Columbus. In her role as City Auditor she has pioneered significant advances in fiscal management for the 14th largest city in the United States. Serving since January 2018, Megan's tenure is marked by her supervision of seven critical departments. She handles debt issuance, investor relations, a $2.8 billion investment portfolio, citywide accounting, and payroll services for a workforce of 10,000, while also modernizing three significant technological systems. Megan also imparts her knowledge as an Adjunct Lecturer at The Ohio State University's John Glenn College of Public Affairs. She has been shaping the minds of graduate-level Public Finance students for over a decade, bringing her on-the-ground experience into the academic sphere.

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/187-toma-de-decisiones-viii-pensamiento-analitico-feynman-la-nasa-y-la-incertidumbre/) “In God We Trust. All Others Bring Data”«Confiamos en Dios. Todos los demás traed datos» Esta frase de William Edward Demings, un estadístico estadounidense que fue clave en el desarrollo y crecimiento de Japón tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, preside la sala de evaluación de misiones de la NASA. O eso se cuenta siempre. Yo no lo he visto. Pero parece lógico: explorar los confines del universo, llevar al hombre a la Luna o tratar de encontrar vidas alienígenas son tareas que requieren de una precisión extrema y de un profundo conocimiento científico. Sin embargo, la realidad es tozuda. Y frente a nuestro afán por tomar las mejores decisiones basadas en datos, nos enfrentamos continuamente a la necesidad de decidir sin muchos de ellos, bajo presiones de todo tipo. Algo similar le sucedió, precisamente, a la propia NASA el 28 de enero de 1986.Aquel día despegaría el Transbordador Espacial Challenger, con sus siete tripulantes a bordo, y con, al menos, dos misiones. La primera, la oficial, era la de desplegar un satélite de comunicaciones y estudiar el Cometa Halley mientras estaban en órbita. La segunda, no tan explícita, era la de volver a despertar el interés del público por la conquista del espacio. Habían pasado casi 17 años desde la llegada a la Luna y, sin nuevos grandes hitos que excitaran su imaginación, los estadounidenses ponían su atención —y con ella sus votos y, por tanto, su dinero— en otros temas. Por eso, aquel lanzamiento fue precedido de una campaña de comunicación sin precedentes.Incluso, como cuenta Nuria Pérez en su maravilloso podcast Gabinete de Curiosidades, se plantearon que en aquella misión viajara Big Bird, el primo americano de la Gallina Caponata. Sí, la de Barrio Sésamo. Me habría encantado estar en la reunión en la que discutieron eso. Al final, se dieron cuenta de que, por lo que sea, meter a alguien con un disfraz de dos metros y medio en lo que esencialmente era una lata de sardinas espacial no era factible. La elegida finalmente fue Christa McAuliffe, una maestra de escuela seleccionada entre más de 11.000 candidaturas, que se ganó rápidamente el cariño del pueblo estadounidense con su carisma y su pasión por el espacio.«T menos 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 —motor principal arrancado—, 4, 3, 2, 1… ¡y despegue! ¡Despegue de la XXV misión del transbordador espacial, que ha abandonado la torre!» Así sonó el despegue del Challenger, que fue emitido en directo para todo el país. La cámara siguió a la nave en su majestuoso ascenso. Apenas un minuto después, justo cuando el corresponsal de la CNN comenzaba a recapitular la cantidad de retrasos sufridos por la misión, enmudeció. Frente a sus ojos y a los de millones de espectadores, la nave se desintegró en miles de pedazos en mitad de una enorme humareda. Y con ella sus siete tripulantes. La tragedia del Challenger sacudió Estados Unidos. Para empezar fue un punto de inflexión en el interés por el espacio y, en particular, en los riesgos que estaban dispuestos a asumir para alcanzarlo. A raíz del accidente, se creó una comisión de investigación encabezada por un ex-Secretario de Estado, William Rogers, a quien al parecer Ronald Reagan, por entonces presidente de Estados Unidos, sugirió que las conclusiones debían proteger a la NASA. Formaron parte de aquella comisión todo tipo de figuras de la aeronáutica, la ingeniería, el ejército y la ciencia. Estaba hasta el primer ser humano en pisar la Luna, Neil Amstrong. Eran casi todos hombres, eso sí. Entre todos ellos estaba un viejo conocido de este podcast: nuestro amigo Richard Feynman, que a sus 67 años era seguramente el científico vivo más conocido y más respetado del mundo. Y también alguien con ideas propias. Dicen las malas lenguas que tal vez desde el poder político pensaron que podrían controlarlo, que ya no tendría la energía de su juventud y que, en cualquier caso, la burocracia y los votos de otros mucho más susceptibles a las presiones acabarían acallándolo. De hecho, él se mantuvo bastante discreto durante todo el proceso. Se tomó su tiempo para entender el problema, comprender el funcionamiento de la nave y también el de la propia comisión. Y empezó a tener la sensación de que más que descubrir la verdad, había un interés en encubrirla. Así que se buscó un aliado: el general Donald Kutyna. Feynman solía contar cómo un día Kutyna se acercó a él con una idea interesante sobre cómo el frío podía haber afectado a las juntas de goma que sellaban los compartimentos del combustible. Dijo que se le había ocurrido reparando su coche. Aunque la realidad era otra: Sally Ride, la única mujer en la comisión, había entregado a Kutyna un documento de la NASA que ella no podía desvelar sin implicar a quienes se lo habían conseguido. Y al general sólo se le ocurrió aquella historieta de su coche para poner a Feynman sobre la pista. Con eso, ya tenían una teoría de lo que había pasado. Sólo les faltaba convencer al resto. Y de eso se encargó Feynman. Lo hizo en una audiencia pública retransmitida por televisión. En un momento dado, en mitad de la intervención de un directivo de la agencia espacial, Feynman pidió la palabra. Mientras cuestionaba a aquel testigo, tomó una pieza de plástico como el que se usaba en las juntas y lentamente lo sumergió en agua helada. Unas preguntas después, sacó la pieza del vaso y explicó que el frío la había vuelto rígida, había perdido su flexibilidad. Millones de personas entendieron inmediatamente el problema. Mientras que inicialmente la NASA había estimado las probabilidades de un accidente como el que sucedió como de una entre 100.000, la presión de Feynman, Kutyna y Sally Ride demostró que el riesgo de aquel lanzamiento era mucho mayor: de 1 entre 200. En el informe final de la comisión, Feynman —a quien había molestado profundamente el uso propagandístico de la misión y de aquella maestra tristemente fallecida— obligó a que se incluyera la siguiente frase, amenazando con no firmar el informe si no se hacía. «Para que una tecnología sea exitosa, la realidad debe prevalecer sobre las relaciones públicas, porque la naturaleza no puede ser engañada». Puro Feynman. ¿Te gusta kaizen?

If you were asked to name the early astronauts, you probably wouldn't have much trouble; Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, John Glenn come to mind easily enough. But what if you had to name women astronauts, besides Sally Ride? It's a question that even space nerds might have trouble answering.A new book from space reporter Loren Grush centers those women's stories. The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts goes deep into the histories, triumphs, and tragedies of Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Rhea Saddon, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid, and Anna Fisher. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration excluded women from its astronauts in the 1960s and ‘70s. The agency changed course in 1978, when it selected these six women from a candidate pool of 8,000.Ira sits down with Loren Grush, space reporter for Bloomberg News, to talk about why NASA delayed their inclusion, the agency politics the women had to navigate, the pressure they faced from the media, and how they made their mark on the space program.To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

The Six: The Untold Story of America's First Women Astronauts, from longtime space reporter and Verge alum Loren Grush, is out today. It's been 40 years since Sally Ride became the first American woman in space — but she was far from the last. In the early 1980s six women — Sally Ride, Judy Resnick, Kathy Sullivan, Anna Fisher, Rhea Seddon, and Shannon Lucid — would get a chance to fly a mission on one of the space shuttles… including, unfortunately, the ill-fated 1986 Challenger launch. The story of the six may be history, but it's far from ancient, and there's a lot going on here that ties directly to today. And of course, what's an astronaut story without some high-flying hijinks in it? Listen to the end for Loren's favorite.
