Cory Cromwell, a former curator at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, joins us to share some of the many encounters he had with legends of history and aviation. From General Jimmy Doolittle to Neil Armstrong and even our friend from Episode 54, Brian Shul, Cory delivers the human side of these legendary aviators and his encounters with them during his 20 years at the museum. Join us to hear these amazing and heart-warming tales of people who made history as Cory makes some of their history more personal and real.

Janessa Wheeler, Annual Giving and Stewardship Specialist for Forever Balboa Park, is joined by her colleague, Phillip Sammuli, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, to talk about its never-ending work to serve as the lead private partner to work on behalf of all 1,200 acres of Balboa.  Wheeler and Sammuli discuss the upcoming sPARK Awards, slated for May 9 at the San Diego Air and Space Museum; the new strategic plan; and its new Special Use Permit.

In mid October the Origins Project Foundation ran two public events in California. The second event was held at the Air and Space Museum in San Diego. I had asked my colleague Brian Keating, who teaches at UCSD and is a Trustee of that museum, whether he might be interested in doing a public dialogue together that we could later both broadcast on our respective podcasts. He and I have each appeared before on each other's podcasts, and I knew that we could have the kind of comfortable, informative, and fun conversation that might appeal to a live audience, which would make for a different kind of podcast. I am happy to present here the video record of that live-audience podcast, and the Q&A with the audience that was recorded right after it. Brian and I discussed many things, from forefront cosmology, to the nature of teaching and doing research, as viewed by an experimentalist and a theorist respectively, as well as broader questions associated with science in society today. The questions afterwards were equally interesting. I hope you enjoy both as you listen to or watch the podcast.

Faculty working with the California State University system are on strike this week. In other news, some of the concrete benches at Swami's Beach in Encinitas are now back, after the city removed them more than two weeks ago, for what it says was routine maintenance. Plus, the San Diego Air and Space Museum is home to airplanes of all sorts, but now, it's also where you'll find a very special vehicle that never leaves the ground.

The We Like Disney Crew went to San Diego to check out the awesome air and space museum located in Balboa Park. They had no idea they would be seeing a pioneer of early flight history. Have a magical day!

I have felt privileged to know the remarkable scholar Peter Singer as a friend and colleague for over a decade. We first met, I believe, in the context of atheism, but our discussions have ranged far more broadly, and his impact on my own thinking has been substantial. He and I engaged in a public dialogue in Arizona eight or nine years ago, and preparing for that discussion changed my views about world in many ways. Peter actually had an impact on my life even earlier than that, as when my daughter was very young. The late Katharine Thalberg, who ran the famous Explore Bookstore in Aspen where I often did book signings, and who, along with her spouse Bill Stirling, rang an unsuccessful campaign to ban furs in Aspen, saw how much my then seven year old loved her dogs, and she gave Lilli a copy of Singer's 1975 book Animal Liberation, to read when she got older. I don't know if Lilli ever did read it, but she became a vegetarian well before I did. Peter, perhaps more than anyone else alive, has effectively promoted the cause of animal welfare, coining the term “species-ism” to describe the fact that a proper ethics should include an equal consideration of welfare for not just all people, but all creatures. He has backed up his position with a comprehensive discussion of the disgusting manner in which animals are made to suffer in the context of industrial scale food preparation for humans. That includes not just cattle, pigs, and chickens, but also fish. Whether or not one continues to choose to eat meat, we should all at least be aware of what we are signing on for by doing so. This year Peter updated Animal Liberation so that it is called Animal Liberation Now, to record the developments that have taken place in the almost 50 years since the book first appeared. His arguments remain as dramatic and clear as they were then, and what I particularly enjoy about Peter is how he combines the philosopher's tools of analytical logic, with a scientist's tools of gathering of evidence. The end result is a compelling treatise, and I was thrilled that Peter agreed to sit down again for a comprehensive discussion of the ideas in his book.We took advantage of this opportunity to talk about Peter's interest in Effective Altruism, about which he has also written extensively. This is the effort to do the most good in the world by empirically examining both what sorts of charities do the most good for the most people, and also exploring how much of one's own resources one can readily part with in the process without substantially changing one's lifestyle. Once again, his discussions may change the way you think, and act.I hope you enjoy our comprehensive dialogue, for which he generously contributed significant time, as much as I did. And I hope it provokes the same kind of personal reflections for you as it did for me. As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

The Oklahoma Territorial Museum and Carnegie Library in Guthrie, Oklahoma holds in its collection a pistol that is tied to one of the most freakish, bizarre, and macabre series of events in the history of the Wild West. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's Franklin Institute has a Model B Wright Brothers Flyer that was once the prized possession of a wealthy scoundrel on the run from the law. And the San Diego Air & Space Museum in California has an ordinary looking lawn chair that was jerry-rigged to soar to unimaginable heights. Hosted on Acast.

I confess that Hakeem Oluseyi had not really risen on my radar screen until the last year or two. I was aware of the National Society of Black Physicists, having sometimes gotten notices about is meetings, but, being generally unsupportive of current efforts to compartmentalize scientists by their identity, I hadn't really paid much notice to it. Then, in one of those ironies that periodically makes one feel better about the vicissitudes of fortune, I learned more about him only after people had attempted to cancel him. When I read about Hakeem's brave and impressive campaign to uncover the truth about James Webb after a small but unduly loud group of physicists, whose actions seem to be centered about their mutually celebrated victimhood, argued that the James Webb Space Telescope should be renamed, my interest in him, along with my respect for him, rose considerably. Prompted by this newfound interest, I read a book he had co-authored, entitled, A Quantum Life: My Unlikely Journey from the Street to the Stars, and I was fascinated by the remarkable transformation of a hillbilly turned drug dealer into an academic. Here was someone who could have reveled in begin a victim by lashing out in hate, but instead was inspired to improve himself and those around him. I decided I wanted to delve deeper into the man, his life, his science, and his recent unfortunate experiences while holding firm to the search for truth in a podcast. It was a fun, and fascinating few hours. Hakeem and I both like to joke as well as tell stories, and we are both serious about the effort to understand nature, and to share our enthusiasm about that effort. I hope the combination of our mutual enjoyment about life and science, along with learning about his own story will inspire, entertain and inform. I certainly enjoyed our discussion and I hope you will as well.As always, an ad-free video version of this podcast is also available to paid Critical Mass subscribers.

Mark Larson filling in for DeMaio talks to Jim Kiddrick, the President and CEO of the San Diego Air and Space Museum about NASA's Artemis 1 upcoming launch.

Aviation in the 1920s could be a lethal business, as proven on 16th August 1927, when only 2 of the 15 planes that entered The Dole Derby - a $35,000 contest to fly from California to Hawaii - successfully reached their destination.  The brainchild of pineapple magnate James D. Dole, the competition inspired the public imagination - and a crowd of 100,000 people - but claimed the lives of TEN participants. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the inefficient and dangerous aeronautics of the time; explain how winning team Woolaroc were able to distinguish themselves ahead of the pack; and reveal how the modern-day Dole company have distanced themselves from such provocative promotions…  Further Reading: • ‘Fifteen Planes Enter, Two Planes Leave - The Deadly Dole Air Race' (Atlas Obscura, 2011): https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/morbid-monday-deadly-dole-air-race • ‘Dole Air Race: The Daring and Pioneering Conquest Across the Pacific' (STSTW, 2018): https://www.ststworld.com/dole-air-race/ • ‘Army Officers Hop Off For Hawaii' (1927): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW1brsdc_fM Image courtesy of San Diego Air & Space Museum For bonus material and to support the show, visit Patreon.com/Retrospectors We'll be back tomorrow!

Analysis of records of use-of-force incidents involving police in San Diego County finds officers are far more likely to shoot if the suspect is a person of color. Meanwhile, a local doctor and company that makes prosthetic limbs help amputees caught in the war in Ukraine. Plus, the San Diego Air and Space Museum uses new NASA images as teaching tool.

The aircraft was named ‘Flagship District of Columbia' and was only the 12th Boeing 707 ever made. It was delivered to American Airlines in February 1959 so at the time America was taking its first steps into the void of outer space it was a mere 3 years old. It hadn't long been out of it's periodic inspection and with less than 8,000 hours on the airframe N7506A was expected to have a long and productive life ahead… a wish that would be dashed in a few short minutes.

We've all seen, read, or at least heard of stories about artificially intelligent life conquering humanity in sci-fi horror. Even though we doubt those fictional stories will actually come to pass, AI technology does affect our everyday lives, for better or worse. Tyson McDowell has spent the majority of his career focusing on artificial intelligence. He started as a serial tech entrepreneur. Now, he's a venture capitalist focused on positively merging humanity with AI-driven technology. What is AI and what does it have to do with storytelling, from the engineer and layperson perspectives? Why do software startups and early-stage companies not have to follow current data privacy security standard levels? What role does storytelling play in both personal and professional pursuits? In this episode, Tyson and I cover all those questions and more including, how social media affects our communication with each other and what the ideal changes are that can come to fruition in the world and affect the story we will tell. Plus, on this episode you'll hear examples of the kind of unbeknown impact software companies can have on you as well as the effect the documentary drama The Social Dilemma had on Tyson's TEDx talk about AI and Humanity. What you will learn in this episode: Why artificial intelligence can be both helpful and harmful How story influences personal and professional pursuits What changes are essential to merge humanity with AI Who is Tyson? Tyson McDowell is a keynote speaker, advisor, and consultant to established companies deploying artificial intelligence. He spent 20 years founding and running companies and watching as the world changed drastically due to the permeation of high-scale technology into everyday life. Inspired to increase his efforts toward impacting humanity with tech, he launched Greatscale Ventures in 2017. Through it, he's helped accelerate early-stage tech companies serving the next generation of humanity. But while Tyson focuses on business and technology, he also has a passion for aviation. He's a certified private pilot with various type ratings including instrument, multi-engine, and helicopter, and serves as Vice Chairman of the San Diego Air and Space Museum. He's even built his own commuter airplane and manages a portfolio of public and private actively flying historic aircraft. Currently, Tyson resides in San Diego, CA with his wife and daughter.

"To Provide and Maintain a Navy," a succinct but encompassing treatise on sea power by Dr. Henry J "Jerry" Hendrix, goes beyond the numbers to reveal the crucial importance of Mare Liberum (Free Sea) to the development of the Western thought and the rules based order that presently governs the global commons that is the high seas. Proceeding from this philosophical basis, Hendrix explores how a "free sea" gave way to free trade and the central role sea borne commercial trade has played in the overall rise in global living standards. This is followed by analysis of how the relative naval balance of power has played out in terms of naval battles and wars over the centuries and how the dominance of the United States Navy following World War II has resulted in seven decades of unprecedented peace on the world's oceans. He further considers how, in the years that followed the demise of the Soviet Union, both China and Russia began laying the groundwork to challenge the United States maritime leadership and upend five centuries of naval precedents in order to establish a new approach to sovereignty over the world's seas. It is only at this point that Dr. Hendrix approaches the question of the number of ships required for the United States Navy, the industrial base required to build them, and the importance of once again aligning the nation's strategic outlook to that of a "seapower" in order to effectively and efficiently address the rising threat. "To Provide and Maintain a Navy" is brief enough to be read in a weekend but deep enough to inform the reader as to the numerous complexities surrounding what promises to be the most important strategic conversation facing the United States as it enters a new age of great power competition with not one, but two nations who seek nothing less than to close and control the world's seas.

The Convair 990 was a financial disaster that cost General Dynamics one of the largest corporate losses in history but thanks to some fascinating aerodynamics it was also the world's fastest subsonic airliner.  This is the story of a little known airliner and the transonic design that allowed it to cruise at Mach 0.97!         Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to the San Diego Air & Space Museum, NASA and listener Ramiro Couto.  

Fasten your seatbelts! Cinema Junkie is racing off on a vacation break and playing a favorite archive episode this week. I'll be back with new episodes in January. Since I will be co-hosting a yearlong Gearhead Cinema program at San Diego's Digital Gym Cinema in 2020 I am digging into the archives for my interview with stunt driver Steve Lepper who talks about the best car movies and car chases of all time. Lepper came to San Diego in late 2018 to see the Bullitt car at the San Diego Air and Space Museum. He will return to San Diego to introduce some of the classic car films in the Gearhead Cinema program.

Wilheim Böing, emigrated to the United States in 1866 and, after becoming a wealthy lumber merchant, sent his son William to an elite school in Switzerland and then Yale University.  Now named Boeing, William followed his father into the timber business and in his spare time became one of America's first pilots.  Soon he was putting his wealth and engineering background to the development of his first aircraft, the Boeing and Westervelt B&W1.  This was the start of the enormously successful company that was to conquer the world of aviation and develop such iconic aircraft as the B17 Flying Fortress and the Boeing 747.               Images under Creative Commons licence with thanks to the San Diego Air & Space Museum Archive, KudzuVine, United States Post Office Department, Seattle Municipal Archives, USAF, Jon Proctor and Scandinavian Airlines Service.

You may have noticed that the sign at Carnitas’ Snack Shack on University Avenue now says The Porchetta Shack. We asked our guest this week, chef and owner Hanis Cavin (who has been called San Diego’s “King of Pork”), why he changed the concept for his popular North Park restaurant after eight successful years. Hanis also shared that he’s no longer affiliated with the Carnitas’ location at the Embarcadero, and his pick for Two People, $50 is Fernside in South Park. This week in Hot Plates, we learned that chef Matt Gordon (who recently closed Urban Solace and Solace & The Moonlight Lounge) is now the vice president of operations for Blue Bridge Hospitality—the company behind Liberty Public Market and Stake Chophouse. Neighborhood, the craft beer and burger joint that’s been in East Village for 12 years, isn’t closed: the shutdown is just temporary for a remodel. The Florence is now open in Sabre Springs (Troy got the First Look at the space and the menu), and the tenth annual Eat.Drink.Read fundraiser for the San Diego Council on Literacy is coming up at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. The Hot Topic this week is the James Beard Awards and the fact that San Diego chefs and restaurants were excluded, again, from making the cut as finalists. Troy took a closer look at how many San Diego chefs have been nominated for a James Beard Award in recent years compared to chefs in LA and San Francisco (and finds a huge disparity), and shares what it would take to get San Diego included in the “Oscars of Food.” We have a phone number for this podcast now!
