PREVIEW: Rick Fisher outlines Elon Musk's plan to launch AI data centers into low Earth orbit using heavy Starlink Version 3 satellites. This strategy aims to secure data off-planet and compete directly with China's own space-based infrastructure, moving the "AI data center race" beyond terrestrial locations like Northern Virginia.

In 450 BC, Herodotus described an Egyptian labyrinth so massive it made the pyramids look small. Then it vanished under the desert for 2,000 years. In 2008, scientists used ground-penetrating radar and found it—a massive structure 40 feet underground covering ten football fields. The Egyptian government immediately shut down all research. Satellite imaging later revealed four underground levels and a 130-foot metallic object at the center. The researcher who published his findings was permanently blacklisted. Ancient priests told Herodotus the deepest chambers held burial vaults of the kings who first built the labyrinth—not pharaohs, but whoever came before them. If they're right, Egyptian civilization didn't develop over centuries. It was inherited from something older. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVLrQ0twtDA

Publicly available data can paint a much clearer picture of our lives than most of us realize, and this episode takes a deeper look at how those tiny digital breadcrumbs like photos, records, searches, even the background of a Zoom call can be pieced together to reveal far more than we ever intended. To help break this down, I'm joined by Cynthia Hetherington, Founder and CEO of The Hetherington Group, a longtime leader in open-source intelligence. She also founded Osmosis, the global association and conference for OSINT professionals, and she oversees OSINT Academy, where her team trains investigators, analysts, and practitioners from all experience levels. Cynthia shares how she started her career as a librarian who loved solving information puzzles and eventually became one of the earliest people applying internet research to real investigative work. She talks about the first wave of cybercrime in the 1990s, how she supported law enforcement before the web was even mainstream, and why publicly accessible data today is more powerful and more revealing than ever. We get into how OSINT actually works in practice, from identifying a location based on a sweatshirt logo to examining background objects in video calls. She also explains why the U.S. has fewer privacy protections than many assume, and how property records, social media posts, and online datasets combine to expose surprising amounts of personal information. We also explore the growing role of AI in intelligence work. Cynthia breaks down how tools like ChatGPT can accelerate analysis but also produce hallucinations that investigators must rigorously verify, especially when the stakes are legal or security-related. She walks through common vulnerabilities people overlook, the low-hanging fruit you can remove online, and why your online exposure often comes from the people living in your home. Cynthia closes by offering practical advice to protect your digital footprint and resources for anyone curious about learning OSINT themselves. This is a fascinating look at how much of your life is already visible, and what you can do to safeguard the parts you'd rather keep private. Show Notes: [01:17] Cynthia Hetherington, Founder & CEO of The Hetherington Group is here to discuss OSINT or Open-Source Intelligence. [02:40] Early cyber investigators began turning to her for help long before online research tools became mainstream. [03:39] Founding The Hetherington Group marks her transition from librarian to private investigator. [04:22] Digital vulnerability takes center stage as online data becomes widely accessible and increasingly revealing. [05:22] We get a clear breakdown of what OSINT actually is and what counts as "publicly available information." [06:40] A simple trash bin in a photo becomes a lesson in how quickly locations can be narrowed down. [08:03] Cynthia shares the sweatshirt example to show how a tiny image detail can identify a school and possibly a city. [09:32] Background clues seen during COVID video calls demonstrate how unintentional information leaks became routine. [11:12] A news segment with visible passwords highlights how everyday desk clutter can expose sensitive data. [12:14] She describes old threat-assessment techniques that relied on family photos and subtle personal cues. [13:32] Cynthia analyzes the balance and lighting of a Zoom backdrop, pointing out what investigators look for. [15:12] Virtual and real backgrounds each reveal different signals about a person's environment. [16:02] Reflections on screens become unexpected sources of intelligence as she notices objects outside the camera frame. [16:37] Concerns grow around how easily someone can be profiled using only public information. [17:13] Google emerges as the fastest tool for building a quick, surface-level profile of almost anyone. [18:32] Social media takes priority in search results and becomes a major driver of self-exposed data. [19:40] Cynthia compares AI tools to the early internet, describing how transformative they feel for investigators. [20:58] A poisoning case from the early '90s demonstrates how online expert communities solved problems before search engines existed. [22:40] She recalls using early listservs to reach forensic experts long before modern digital research tools were available. [23:44] Smarter prompts become essential as AI changes how OSINT professionals gather reliable information. [24:55] Cynthia introduces her C.R.A.W.L. method and explains how it mirrors the traditional intelligence lifecycle. [26:12] Hallucinations from AI responses reinforce the need for human review and verification. [27:48] We learn why repeatable processes are crucial for building trustworthy intelligence outputs. [29:05] Elegant-sounding AI answers illustrate the danger of unverified assumptions. [30:40] An outdated email-header technique becomes a reminder of how quickly OSINT methods evolve. [32:12] Managed attribution—hiding your digital identity—is explained along with when it's appropriate to use. [33:58] Cynthia unpacks the reality that the U.S. has no constitutional right to privacy. [35:36] The 1996 case that sparked her digital-vulnerability work becomes a turning point in her career. [37:32] Practical opt-out steps give everyday people a way to remove basic personal data from public sites. [38:31] She discusses how indirect prompting of AI tools can still narrow down someone's likely neighborhood or lifestyle. [39:58] Property and asset records emerge as unavoidable exposure points tied to government databases. [40:52] A high-risk client's situation shows how family members often create digital vulnerabilities without realizing it. [42:44] Threats that surface too late demonstrate why proactive intelligence work is essential. [44:01] Concerns about government surveillance are contrasted with the broader access private investigators actually have. [45:12] Train tracks become an example of how physical infrastructure now doubles as a modern data network. [46:03] She explains how audio signatures and forensic clues could theoretically identify a train's path. [47:58] Asset tracking becomes a global operation as valuable cargo moves between ships, trucks, and rail systems. [49:48] Satellite imagery makes monitoring even remote or underwater locations almost effortless. [51:12] Everyday applications of geospatial analysis include environmental changes and shifts within local communities. [52:19] Surveillance is compared to gravity; it's constant, invisible, and always exerting pressure. [52:44] Cynthia shares practical strategies for controlling your environment and keeping conversations private. [54:01] Resources like OSINT Academy, Information Exposed, and the Osmosis Association offer pathways for learning and strengthening personal privacy. [55:32] The episode closes with encouragement to stay aware of what you share and how easily digital clues can be connected. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Dr Lance Benner of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory headed up a team of scientists who used the 70 meter antenna at NASA's Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex to bounce RADAR beams off of the asteroid Florence as it made a close approach to Earth in September of 2017. The RADAR images these researchers obtained reveal that Florence consists of a 2.8 mile diameter primary asteroid which is orbited by two small moons. Florence's two satellites appear to be between three hundred and a thousand feet in diameter and orbit the main asteroid in about 8 and 24 hours respectively. Florence is rare since there are only two other triple asteroid systems among the 16,000 Earth approaching asteroids which asteroid hunters have discovered. We would know more about Florence if Hurricane Irma had not prevented astronomers from using the giant Arecibo RADAR Dish in Puerto Rico to study it. Our curiosity will have to wait since Florence will not come very close again until September 2, 2057.

The Dark Energy Camera on the National Science Foundation's Blanco 4-meter telescope on Cerro Tololo in Chile is taking near Sun twilight images to search for asteroids, hidden in the glare of our Sun, sneaking up on home planet.

Imaginez : une énergie solaire infinie et un vide cosmique qui refroidit des data centers sans besoin d'eau. Alors que l'intelligence artificielle demande aujourd'hui des puissances de calcul colossales (et qui croissent très vite), une nouvelle idée s'impose : déplacer ces data centers énergivores au‑delà de notre atmosphère. Cette idée a priori astucieuse est aussi le miroir de nos contradictions technologiques... l'espace étant déjà pollué par un nombre toujours plus important de satellites.

At about 2AM on July 18, 2011 several people in near Tata, Morocco saw a bright fireball which was described by one of them to be initially yellow, then turned green, and finally exploded into several pieces producing two sonic booms. In October of 2011 desert wandering nomads began finding very fresh looking dark fusion-crusted stones which were radioactively dated by Dr. John Duke of the University of Alberta to be less than 5 years old. In total 15-24 lbs of meteorites consistent with a very recent fall were found in a strewn field, were whisk away to receive high prices from collectors, and named after the town of Tissint [tee.seent] about 30 miles from their discovery location.

"No one's gonna die, it's just art"This week, host Sara J welcomes Loveland, CO–based psychedelic indie rock band Satellite Pilot to the show. Joined by Cody (bass), Amy (guitar, synth), Sierra (keys, harp), and Alex (guitar, vocals) — with a shoutout to Jared on drums — the band sits down to talk all things Satellite Pilot as they gear up to release their first EP, 2 furreels 2 true, out December 12th.They dive into the creative process, favorite tracks, what it's like bringing these songs to life on stage, the story behind the cover art, and so much more.The conversation kicks off with the current lineup sharing their history with the band, how they came together organically, and the unexpected little community of fans that's blossomed in Wichita, Kansas.From there, each member opens up about what it means to be part of the “ever-expanding energy machine” that is Satellite Pilot — and how the project fuels their own creative worlds, including the music they make outside the group.Then, the band gives a look at what's coming in 2026: their first-ever live release, To Live to Dazzle, recorded at Dazzle — Denver's beloved jazz club. Plus, plans to record a lot more, drop a run of singles, and hit the road for shows that stretch “beyond.”A real look at a band building momentum on their own terms.(Songs heard in this episode: 2 Furreels 2 True & It Takes Hawaii'll) More from this week's guests:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SatellitePilotYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@satellitepilothttps://linktr.ee/satellitepilotSatellite Pilot at The Roxy Theatre (Denver, CO) 8/30/25 - FULL GALLERY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/satellite-pilot-137811407?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkOther projects mentioned in this episode:https://www.instagram.com/herviscera/https://www.instagram.com/a.m.pleasureassassins/https://linktr.ee/ampleasureassassins?utm_source=linktree_profile_share https://ampleasureassassins.com/https://www.instagram.com/paradiseovertime/https://linktr.ee/paradiseovertime?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

For radio astronomers, there’s some good news and some bad news. On the good side, a pilot project with SpaceX has devised a way to reduce the radio interference produced by satellites. On the bad side, the satellites can produce accidental interference. Radio telescopes tell us things about the universe that we can’t get any other way. But the telescopes are extremely sensitive. Transmissions from an orbiting satellite are like bright headlights – they overpower the subtle signals of astronomical objects. There are more than 15,000 satellites in orbit today – a five-fold increase in just six years. And the total could balloon to a hundred thousand by the next decade. Astronomers worked with SpaceX to reduce interference from its Starlink satellites. The groups combined the observing schedule of a telescope with the Starlink control system. Satellites passing over the telescope were instructed to turn away – aiming the headlights in a different direction. And there are plans to extend the scheme to other telescopes. On the other hand, a recent study found that tiny radio signals emitted by a satellite’s electronics can also be a problem. Scientists looked at 76 million radio images made by a telescope in Australia. They found that Starlink satellites interfered with up to 30 percent of the pictures. So future satellites may need extra shielding to keep them from blinding astronomy’s radio eyes. Script by Damond Benningfield

Discover Lafayette welcomes Hans Nelsen, known on air as “Fast,” who co-hosts the morning show on Big 102.1 from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. each weekday with CJ Clements. Pictured are CJ Clements and “Fast” (Hans Nelson), co-hosts of Big 102.1’s Morning Show Hans has been on the air in South Louisiana since 1985, starting as a USL student working the graveyard shift at a new urban contemporary station and going on to serve as on-air talent, program director, account executive, and sales manager at several top local stations. He also spent years as a stadium voice and play-by-play broadcaster, and his career has become intertwined with the story of local broadcasting in Acadiana. Hans was joined by his lifelong friend Sean Trcalek, General Manager of KATC TV-3, who was once known on radio as “Charlie Roberts.” The two reminisce about their early days as radio co-hosts and their lifelong friendship. Early Love of Music and the Magic of Radio Hans grew up in a home filled with very different kinds of music, from German organ to big show tunes, and a little boy's transistor radio became his portal to the wider world of sound. He recalls: “I grew up in a household where my dad listened to German organ music and would play it throughout the house on Sunday afternoons. We had to listen to it whether we wanted to or not. My mom was really into big show tunes. ‘I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair” and “The Sound of Music.” But his own soundtrack lived on his bike: “As a little boy, I had a transistor radio that I taped to the handlebars of my bike, and I would listen to top 40 in one way or another. 1972.” He loved the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and pop hits like “Billy, Don’t Be a Hero.” As he got older, he says, “I really wanted to be a musician, and I wanted to be a singer, and I can’t really do any of that. I can play a little guitar, but radio was this next opportunity, though I didn’t really know you could turn it into a career. I just thought it would be something I did for fun.” Learning Radio on the Graveyard Shift Hans' first job was at an urban contemporary station, Foxy 106.3 (KFXZ). Growing up in New Iberia, he already knew some of the music: “It’s funny, you could be a rock guy, but also listen to the Gap Band and Kool and the Gang.” Even so, he had to go deeper into that catalog for a targeted audience: “This was deeper and a more targeted ethnic audience. But it was a piece of cake, because I loved music.” Being alone on the air at night was intimidating: “Well, I’d listen to so much radio. You try to imitate or emulate Casey Kasem, but I was so terrible. The fact that they let me stay past the first night…It was the middle of the night miracle.” He also remembers the mind games of that lonely studio: “You’re in a room by yourself and you can play mind games because you can either convince yourself that no one hears you, or that everyone’s listening. That one mistake, everybody’s going to hear it.” Hustling Through College Radio and 24-Hour Weekends Still in school, Hans got a weekend job at KVOL (1330 AM) and was quickly recruited by KSMB: “On my second shift, Scott Seagraves called me from KSMB and said, I’m listening to you. Do you want to come work for me?” He was “so hungry” to be on the air that he took on extraordinary hours. ““I would do six to noon on KSMB on Saturday and Sunday, and quickly added noon to six on weekends at KXKW. So, I worked 24 hours in two days and worked at a bar both nights. But I knew that I had the bug, and I turn it into a job!” That building is where he and Sean first truly connected and eventually became a morning team: “And Sean comes into that building, we end up being the morning team and here we are.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1XZVTbmikg Teaming Up with Sean: Voices, Characters, and Parodies Sean came in as a young newsreader, hired to do newscasts in the morning and afternoon. Their chemistry led to a two-man show that blurred the lines between straight news and wild characters. Sean explains: “It started as you and Debbie Ray and me in news. Well, when Debbie left, it was you and me doing news. And I think it was just kind of like. Why do we need a third guy? You know, I still did the newscast, but it was a two man show.” Hans recalls the “credibility issue”: “Sean's doing the ‘17 people were killed today' delivering the news and then he’s doing this crazy voice five minutes later and people knew it was the same guy. But we somehow just moved past that.” The two displayed a gift for spontaneous skits and song parodies: “We both could really rewrite song lyrics. We could make custom versions of big songs at the time. Remember Michael Johnson's ‘Give me wings, gimme wings.” It would end up, “Don’t give me legs. Breasts or thighs!” Hans says the creativity often felt effortless. “What was special about us? A special talent we both had was that there was no prep. We would sometimes do stuff and turn the microphone off. We’d look at each other thinking, that’s good. How did we just do that?” Hans Nelson (‘Fast’) and Sean Trcalek (‘Charlie Roberts’) pictured early in their broadcasting careers on the radio together. They have remained close friends over the decades. Humor, Changing Sensibilities, and Wanting Everyone to Feel Welcome Looking back at their 1980s material, Hans is candid about how much humor standards have changed: “Yeah, it was humor, but let’s just say sensibilities are different, right?” He offered a vivid analogy from pro wrestling to show how certain stereotypes were once normalized and now are not: “The character development in the 70s and 80s was the Iranian guy or the Nazi guy was the bad guy. It was what they did. You just don’t do that now, right?” Hans shared his personal compass: “I always wanted everybody to like me. I need as many listeners as I can get. They don’t have to look like me. They don’t have to vote like me. They don’t have to drive the same kind of car as me. But I want everybody to say, ‘I like listening to that guy on the radio.” Music, Memory, and Nostalgia of Radio For both Hans and Sean, music is deeply emotional and geographically specific; certain songs instantly bring them back to particular corners of their childhoods. Hans shared, “Some songs. What I’ve always been amazed by is when you hear a song and it brings you to a specific place. I mean, like a certain corner in your hometown and you’re like, why am I thinking of that when I hear Sammy John's “Chevy Van?” He offers another vivid memory: “Saturday in the Park by Chicago reminds me of standing in line at Saint Edward’s Catholic School for the cafeteria. I don’t know why.” Becoming “Fast Eddie” and Then Simply “Fast” A big turning point came when KSMB's sister station needed a music director and night disc jockey. The job came with a new name Hans disliked: “They tell me, your name is going to be Fast Eddie.” He tried to negotiate the name away, but wouldn't get the job if he didn't accept the on-air name. KSMB was too big to walk away from: Later, when he was put in charge of a new station and morning show, he pushed to shorten the name: “When we put the morning show on, it was the rude awakening with ‘Fast Eddie and Rob.' We could have done it. It just didn’t sound right. Fast is a speed, not a name, but it ended up being I can’t go anywhere and people yell it out like it’s normal. When I hear Hans, it’s heartwarming. I love being Hans, I wish I could be Hans on air.” The Power and Future of Local Broadcasting Both Hans and Sean describe themselves first and foremost as broadcasters: “What we have always had in common and still have in common is we’re broadcasters. People say, what do you do? I don’t say I’m the general manager of a TV station, or I’m a broadcaster. We’re local broadcasters and we’re passionate about it. We have been since the day we met, and to this day, we’re passionate about the impact that local radio and television can have on a market.” For Hans, that impact includes everything from playing nostalgia-filled music to public service in storms: “By impact, I mean moving people. When you play music, when you tell them what the weather’s going to be like, but also telling people where to go pick up sandbags.” Hans reminds us, “During a hurricane, we’re still the last man standing. TV stations may go down… but I have been on the air during hurricanes when I was the only voice available on the air in this market.” Sean highlights the advocacy role broadcasters have played in keeping AM radio in cars: “We are big advocates, and were successful this past year in advocating that automakers continue to be required to put AM radios in new cars. The reason to keep AM radio is that its infrastructure often remains operational when power grids fail and cell networks are overloaded or damaged, providing a core part of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). During events like hurricanes, AM stations became the primary way people received verified, real-time information, coordinated help, and connected with the outside world when phones and internet were down. They both reject the idea that streaming will wipe out local media: Hans says, “I’ll wrap that up with saying, Satellite radio and Netflix are not going to mean the end of local radio and local TV.” A Morning Show Today: Competing With Phones, Not Just Stations Hans reflects on what it's like doing a local morning show in 2020s Lafayette: “Technologically, it’s very different. Audience participation and reception is very different. We compete with many more things. I believe my biggest competitor in drive time is the telephone.” Listeners no longer call to check school closures, they get texts, but live local radio still plays a crucial role, especially in emergencies. Hans and his long-time friend CJ now host a show built on deep local roots: “We put this show together with almost a hundred years of Lafayette radio experience in one room for four hours a morning. There’s nothing that has happened here since the 60s that we don’t know about. We know where every street is. We know where the schools are. We know it. To me, it is a gift.” Big 102.1 has embraced app listening while staying “radio-first”: “On big 102.1, we've had over 1,000,000 hours of listening on our app. We’re still a radio station first. So if that many people are listening, that’s why we’re still effective… we do everything we can to stay connected to the audience, to do relevant things, provide relevant content and make it fun.” Voice of the Ragin' Cajuns From 2009 to 2017, Hans served as the stadium voice for UL Lafayette football and basketball, a role that grew out of his lifelong fandom: “I was such a fan. I was a Ragin Cajun as a kid. I wasn’t an LSU kid or a Tulane kid. It was USL.” Eventually, security protocols and family priorities pushed him to step away so he could watch games in the stands with his daughter: “Because of security protocol, she could not come in the press box. So when it was my weekend, I lost the whole Saturday and I said I would rather be in the stands with her watching the game.” His last act as stadium voice was a memorable one: “So my last duty was to introduce Billy Napier as the head coach. And I resigned that day.” Christian's Story, Organ Donation, and a Legacy of Life In one of the most moving parts of our conversation, Hans shares the story of his son Christian, who died after a workplace accident in 2013. Christian fell from a picker truck in a warehouse, and although doctors did everything they could, the injury was catastrophic. “He fell 20 feet. When you say 20 feet, you think broken ankle, maybe broken arm, but somehow, on the way down, his feet hit the forklift and flipped him. And he landed on his head.” At the hospital, after a brief brain surgery, the doctor came in and said, “Call your family.” When representatives from Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency arrived, Hans initially felt overwhelmed and resistant: “I’m like, heck no, I’m dealing with too much.” His ex-wife, Jenn, reminded him of Christian's own wishes when he got his license. “She said he would want to do it because he asked about it when he got his driver’s license.” That decision changed everything; “I realized he was going to save somebody’s life. We ended up saving four lives and it was life changing for us.” Christian's heart went to a teenage male that had been waiting for a heart for 18 months with time running out. Christian's right kidney and pancreas went to a female in her 30s. His liver went to a female in her 40s, and his left kidney went to a little boy. His corneas were donated, which gave sight to 2 people. Hans began speaking to civic groups and driver's ed classes about organ donation: “We would tell kids at Driver’s Ed like, they’re going to ask you about this when you get your license, you should know what it means. Most people can’t be an organ donor, even if they want to. You have to die a certain way.” He and Jenn started the Christian's Legacy Foundation to create awareness of the importance of organ donation and to provide support to donor families. Stories of other young donors continue to touch him deeply: “All these years later, those stories touch me in a different way. And I would not have read that story the same way had I not gone through that.” Is Broadcasting Still a Good Career? Asked if he would still recommend a career in broadcasting, Hans doesn't hesitate, though he acknowledges the landscape has changed: “I’m always going to recommend a career in broadcast. Sean explains that media sales in particular remain a strong path, even as technology and products evolve: “Your competition is different. Your products might be different. But of all we do, that’s probably changed the least.” There are fewer jobs, but better pay and more efficiency: “KATC had 100 employees not long ago. Our building was built for 120 people and we’ve got 52 now. And it’s not just because of efficiencies. Our cameras are robotic now Hans still longs to see young people with the same hunger he and Sean had: “I would love to see some young person who was like me or Sean who was willing to work 24 hours in two days when I was at KSMB. They fired the janitor, and for nine months I cleaned the building every night after I did my show, because I wanted them to see that I was willing to do anything to make it. And that’s not beneath me.” Through stories of late-night graveyard shifts, irreverent morning shows, hurricane coverage, stadium announcing, heartbreaking loss, and renewed purpose, Hans Nelson, “Fast,” reminds us why local broadcasting still matters. As he and Sean put it, they are, above all, local broadcasters, passionate about “the impact that local radio and television can have on a market” and the ways music, stories, and community can move people.

Eigentlich hätte das Debütalbum von Giovanni Vicari «Forse non è mai troppo tardi» heissen. Also: Vielleicht ist es niemals zu spät. Der Grund dafür ist sein 30er-Geburtstag und dass er sich bisher nicht getraut hat, eigene Musik zu releasen. Bis jetzt! Zum Glück waren es dann aber Giovannis Musiker:innen-Gspänli aus seinen anderen Projekten (Malummí, Pina Palau und Nola Kin), die ihn dazu motivierten, endlich seine Songs zu releasen. In «Your Smile Lives In Me» widmet sich der Basler mit italienischen Wurzeln den verletzlichen Themen des Lebens – ein verspieltes, fragiles und doch eindringliches erstes Album. Und was es heute auch noch für euch gibt: die heilige Fünffaltigkeit der Woche – die Top Fünf unserer drei Sounds!-Macher:innen Lea Inderbitzin, Luca Bruno und Andi Rohrer, die allesamt heute beim Wiehnachtsessen weilen. Stellung hält ausnahmsweise Céline Werdelis. Das Programm bleibt aber natürlich das gleiche: Service Musique, mit viel Liebe für euch kuratiert.

PREVIEW — Bob Zimmerman — Russia Exploits Starlink on the Battlefield. Bob Zimmerman analyzes how the Ukraine war has extended into low-earth orbit through contested control of Starlink satellite communications infrastructure. Zimmerman documents that although SpaceX has publicly supported Ukraine through satellite access denial to Russian military forces, Russia has systematically acquired black-market Starlink terminals, enabling operational control of reconnaissance and attack drones throughout the conflict zone. Zimmerman characterizes this persistent technological challenge as a significant strategic problem that U.S. officials and Ukrainian military command are actively attempting to resolve through terminal tracking, signal disruption, and device authentication protocols, representing an emerging domain of space-age warfare previously unanticipated in terrestrial conflict planning. 1941

00:46 How satellite mega-constellations could ruin space-based astronomyThe ability of space-based telescopes to image the distant Universe could be in peril, according to new research investigating the impacts of light-pollution from future satellites. Streaks of reflected light from satellites currently in low-Earth orbit are already seen in telescope images, and planned launches could raise the number of satellites from around 15,000 to over half-a-million. Computer modelling revealed that this drastic increase would result in images taken by instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope becoming unusable by astronomers.

Analysis of other data suggested glitchy calls were associated with lower chances of individuals being granted parole. The team behind the work think that these visual errors break the illusion that a video call is a real face-to-face conversation, potentially impairing judgements about the quality of the information discussed.Research article: Brucks et al.Subscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

Meteors, shooting stars, or falling stars are different names for the streaks of light in the night sky which are in reality the dying embers of tiny asteroids. These small interplanetary travelers were speeding along at between 7 and 44 miles per second when they entered the Earth's atmosphere. In space, they are called meteoroids and typically ranged in size from that of a grain of sand to perhaps ones as big as of a piece of driveway gravel. Large space pebbles can produce fireballs which are brighter than the planet Venus. Most meteors burn up 50-70 miles above you, however, a very few of them produce fragments which fall to the Earth's surface. In rare occasions meteor observers are able to walk up to such a fallen space rock which is called a fall. The best time to view meteors is generally after midnight on a clear, moonless night. You will see many more meteors in a rural area than under city lights. On nights not during a meteor shower, you may expect to view sporadic meteors at the rate of between 2 and 16 per hour. Some meteor showers produce more than 100 events per hour. Rarely you will have a chance to view a meteor storm which will give you the feeling that you are seeing the Earth move through space. In 1966 one of these storms produced a WOW inspiring 40 meteors per second. During the year, there are a dozen major meteor showers. Check out the International Meteor Organization Calendar for a complete listing of the dates of meteor showers as well as how bright the moon will be on those dates. Happy viewing.

This week on the show, Sara J. is joined by Alex Moore of Satellite Pilot, a psychedelic indie-pop band based out of Loveland, CO. We dive into the Denver & Fort Collins music scene—what makes it special, why authenticity matters, and how even in a crowded landscape, there's truly room for everyone.Naturally, we get into the heart of music community and the way sound connects people no matter the miles between them. We talk path markers in life, creative energy, tapping into self, and the frequency shift that happens when you're playing to a live crowd. Alex also shares the wild story of the massive snowstorm that hit on the night of their 10-year anniversary show… and how it transformed into an intimate evening with the “real ones.”Alex opens up about the roots of his musical passion—from being inspired by a musician father to watching his great grandma play piano and organ in church, to the moment he got his first guitar. He also tells a serendipitous story involving a piano and the day he was born - you know we love that around stuff around here!We dig into his eclectic musical influences, including his love for 60s rockers and the raw authenticity of hip-hop.Then it's all things Satellite Pilot—the ever-expanding energy machine. Alex walks us through the current lineup, the family inspiration behind the band's name, what they're working on now, and so much more!More from this week's guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/satellite_pilot/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SatellitePilotYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@satellitepilothttps://linktr.ee/satellitepilotSatellite Pilot at The Roxy Theatre (Denver, CO) 8/30/25 - FULL GALLERY on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/satellite-pilot-137811407?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkDonate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsWant to be a guest on the show? https://datcmediacompany.com/contact/ola/services/be-a-guest-on-dropped-among-this-crowd-podcastWant to be a RoughGauge featured artist?

Today I’m talking to a guy who believes every company needs to be built to last—not just to flip. Neil Lansing is a turnaround specialist who left private equity to bet his own money on small, underperforming businesses. He’s taken companies from 18 employees to over 400. From $2 million to $40-50 million in revenue. And when everyone else was laying people off in 2008, he told his refrigeration company’s team: “We need more clients.” After transforming mom-and-pop service companies one after another, he found his final stop, Piedmont Machine & Manufacturing. At 67, he’s not looking for the next flip. He’s building something that will outlast him. ************* Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.     .

But eventually he walked away from working with other people’s money to bet his own cash on small businesses. It wasn’t an easy mental shift. As he told me: “I remember the first time I did something. I was sitting there and I remember, now I’m not in corporate America, I’m not in these nice New York digs… I’m in some place where it’s like, my God, what did I get myself into?” But then he told himself: “Quit crying, figure it out, make it work.” The Five-Person Rule One of Neil’s key insights is his management structure. Nobody has more than five direct reports. Not supervisors, not managers, not even Neil as owner. This tight span of control is how he grew his refrigeration company from 10-18 people to over 400 in six years while maintaining quality and accountability. “Everyone has to do what we’re supposed to do,” he explains. “If we all do what we’re supposed to do and take the accountability of what we’re supposed to do, then it can work.” Growing When Others Retreat The 2008 financial crisis tested every business owner, but Neil’s response was counterintuitive. While the country was laying off 700,000 people a month, he gathered his top 10 guys and said: “We’ve just got to get more clients.” By Christmas, they were bringing in all new work. Then their existing clients–Target, Publix, Costco – suddenly needed massive expansions. Neil went from laying off 40-50 people to desperately hiring them back plus another 40-50 more. Why Manufacturing, Why Now After several successful turnarounds, Neil decided manufacturing would be his next chapter. He bought Piedmont Machine in Concord, North Carolina, seeing opportunity where others saw decline. The company does Swiss machining for smaller diameter work and can handle parts up to 30 inches in diameter—from roller bearing components for landing gear to automated door systems. He envisions growing his company to 80-100 employees, consolidating into a new 60-75,000 square foot facility, and implementing comprehensive training programs. The Grinder’s Legacy Neil calls himself a “grinder” – someone focused on day-to-day execution rather than just deal-making. His philosophy centers on personal responsibility: “If I don’t do what I’m supposed to do, then I can’t pay these people. And if I can’t pay these people, that means that we did it wrong.” What drives someone to keep grinding at 67? Neil says it's about legacy, not money. “Everything I’ve done, it still works. It still runs. If I do something and it goes under or it stops being in existence, then I feel like that’s not a good legacy. That means I didn’t do it right.” Neil doesn’t know how to run a machine and doesn’t want to. He knows how to run a business with clear strategy, deep understanding of people, and balls, and he's still betting big because that’s what real builders do.
