The Space Show presents Phil Swan, Friday, 10-24-25Quick recapThe program focused on economic and technological aspects of space exploration, particularly Mars voyages, with Phil Swan presenting his analysis of kinetic energy costs and the need for long-term strategic planning. The discussion covered various propulsion technologies, cost considerations for different rocket systems, and the potential for in-situ resource utilization on Mars. The group explored concepts like mass drivers, lunar industries, and the economic viability of Mars cyclers, while emphasizing the importance of developing cost-effective solutions for human space travel and long-term settlement on Mars and the Moon.Detailed Summary: Phil Swan, the lead principal engineer for the Atlantis project, presented his recent Mars Society Conference talk, focusing on the economic aspects of kinetic energy for Mars voyages. He emphasized the need for a long-term strategy that makes Mars valuable to humanity, beyond just the initial journey. The discussion touched on the historical reluctance to use terms like “colonization” due to negative connotations, and Phil noted the importance of understanding the economics of kinetic energy in space travel. The program also included updates on podcast availability and ways to support the Space Show.Phil discussed the importance of developing a sophisticated space strategy that combines high-level merit with institutional capacity to support it. He compared humanity's expansion across Earth to potential space exploration, noting that exponential thinking is necessary to set realistic goals and expectations for space travel. Phil emphasized the need to apply exponential thinking to space problems rather than relying on linear thinking, as this approach could lead to more accurate timelines for reaching celestial destinations like the Moon and Mars.Phil referenced the technological advancements required to reach the Moon and Mars, highlighting the Lunar Orbit Rendezvous as a pivotal innovation. He emphasized the need for new technologies to enable human settlement on Mars and addressed the challenge of long-term value recognition for such endeavors. Our guest proposed a staged approach to Mars exploration, outlining key stages like “Boots on Mars,” “Research Outpost,” “Expansionist Drive,” and “Keystone Industries,” each with its value proposition and enablers. He concluded by identifying the high cost of interplanetary transportation as a significant barrier to progress, emphasizing the need for cost-effective solutions to make Mars exploration feasible.The group discussed the concept of Mars cyclers, with Phil explaining that they would serve as infrastructure for repeated Mars travel, though questions remained about their economic viability and technical feasibility. They explored the idea of self-sustaining biospheres on Mars cyclers and Mars bases, with Phil noting that technology would play a crucial role in maintaining these environments. The discussion concluded with Phil addressing the question of Mars's independence, comparing it to the interdependence between continents and suggesting that Mars would eventually become more self-supporting over time, though it would initially rely on supplies from Earth.We also discussed the need for more advanced propulsion technologies beyond chemical rockets, such as nuclear plasma or fusion rockets, to enable more efficient space travel. Phil highlighted the challenge of securing funding for long-term space exploration projects compared to immediate investments like Starlink, attributing this to society's short-term focus. Marshall and Phil agreed that governments might be better at making long-term investments, while David noted cultural differences in budgeting practices, particularly between the U.S. and China. Phil suggested that future space missions could serve as a test to compare different economic and political systems, similar to the Cold War moon race, which he argued was won by the American free-market system. John Hunt observed that the lack of competition from the Russian space program in the 1970s led to a reduction in space technology development in the U.S.Our guest presented a slide showing the delta V requirements for various destinations in the solar system, emphasizing the need for cheaper and faster transportation methods. He discussed the potential for using aerobraking and the economic benefits of lunar industries producing products for low Earth orbit. John Jossy suggested considering near-Earth asteroids for mining, which Phil acknowledged as a viable option with lower delta V requirements. The group also touched on the economics of low Earth orbit and the potential for lunar materials to be used in space industries.Phil explained the concept of delta-v and air braking, noting that while aero braking reduces the need for fuel, some mass is still required for the heat shield and other landing equipment. He discussed a paper titled “Cost vs. Delta V” that outlines the methodology for converting air braking delta-v into an equivalent rocket-based delta-v. Phil then presented a graph illustrating the relationship between delta-v and cost per kilogram for various missions, highlighting that costs scale exponentially with delta-v requirements. He noted that reusable rockets and infrastructure-based solutions could potentially reduce costs and provided examples of how different launch systems performed compared to the cost curve.The group discussed the cost-effectiveness of different rocket technologies, particularly comparing the Space Launch System (SLS) to Falcon Heavy. Phil noted that while Falcon Heavy was slightly more cost-competitive for some missions, SLS was still a viable technology that offered good value for its Delta V capabilities. John Hunt highlighted the issue of low production quantities for SLS, which limited cost savings from experience curve effects. The discussion concluded with an examination of Mars mission costs, with Phil presenting estimates for sending humans to Mars, including the cost of crew, provisions, and life support systems.Phil presented a detailed analysis of Mars mission costs, highlighting that a round-trip mission would cost $38 trillion, but could be reduced to $2.7 trillion through in-situ resource utilization and a Mars propellant plant. The discussion clarified that the Europa Clipper mission was launched by Falcon Heavy, not SLS, and Phil agreed to review the cost numbers later. Phil also explained the energy efficiency advantages of mass drivers compared to rockets, suggesting that Mars should consider implementing mass drivers for future space operations.Phil then presented a detailed analysis of mass drivers, discussing their potential for Mars and Earth-based applications. He explained the physics and economics of mass drivers, highlighting their cost advantages over rockets for Mars missions. The group discussed technical challenges, including G-forces and atmospheric entry, with Phil addressing concerns about safety zones and aiming. The conversation ended with a brief discussion on human transportation to Mars, noting the need for further exploration of options beyond cargo transport.Our guest discussed the challenges of improving human space travel to Mars, focusing on reducing costs and enhancing comfort and safety. He suggested increasing the mass budget, improving ecosystems, and using more efficient propulsion methods like mass drivers. David inquired about nuclear propulsion, but Phil explained that it may not be practical due to the weight of radiators compared to solar panels. They also discussed the limitations of current mass driver technologies, such as SpinLaunch, which can only replace the first stage of a rocket and cannot achieve the necessary delta V for Mars travel. Phil emphasized the need for a 1,000-fold cost reduction to enable long-term human settlement on Mars and the Moon.As we were moving to the end of the program, Phil discussed the challenges and inefficiencies of using aircraft carrier electromagnetic catapults for launching rockets into space, explaining that such systems would be too expensive and impractical compared to traditional rockets. He also explored the concept of linear motor launchers for space travel, noting that while they could potentially compete with rockets for long-distance missions like Mars travel, they are not cost-effective for low Earth orbit missions. The discussion highlighted the importance of developing a long-term strategy for lunar and Martian exploration, as well as the need for better institutional and public evaluation of complex space travel ideas.Audio is posted at www.thespaceshow.com for this date and Substack, doctorspace.substack.com.

SHOW 10-22-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR HK 1925 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT XI. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Colonel McCausland Discusses Postponed Budapest Summit, Gaza Ceasefire Instability, and Pentagon Information Control Jeff McCausland with John Batchelor Colonel McCausland explained the Budapest summit postponement, noting Putin demands Ukrainian surrender before a ceasefire. He considered Tomahawks an escalation of firepower, but not a game-changer, with delivery now on hold. McCausland described the Gaza ceasefire as precarious, lacking discussion or plan for Hamas disarmament, which he views as the necessary "red line" for stability. He criticized the Pentagon's new policy blocking journalists from soliciting unauthorized information as an attempt by Secretary Hegseth to control information flow and increase opacity. 915-930 Colonel McCausland Discusses Postponed Budapest Summit, Gaza Ceasefire Instability, and Pentagon Information Control Jeff McCausland with John Batchelor Colonel McCausland explained the Budapest summit postponement, noting Putin demands Ukrainian surrender before a ceasefire.

He noted the political turmoil in Beijing, highlighted by uncertainty over Xi Jinping's APEC attendance. This instability is abnormal and reinforces China's unstable political foundation. Yates suggested this instability should push allies to rely more on the first island chain as a reliable balance. 945-1000 Rick Fisher Reports on China's Reusable Rocket Deluge and US Moon Race Political Pressures Rick Fisher with John Batchelor Rick Fisher reported that China has 27 reusable space launch vehicle projects underway, predicting a "deluge" of cheap space services to compete with SpaceX. He noted that President Trump is alarmed that China may win the second race to the moon. Trump pressured NASA Administrator Duffy to open the Human Landing System competition to Blue Origin, signaling that politics and winning the race are paramount, regardless of competitor viability. China's first reusable booster test could occur before year-end. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Colonel Newsham Discusses Promising US-Australia Rare Earth Deal and Canberra's Dual Strategy Toward China Grant Newsham with John Batchelor Colonel Grant Newsham discussed the promising US-Australia rare earth deal, noting Australia has vast mining capabilities to provide an alternative to China's dominance. China's threat to use export controls might spur free nations to develop alternative supply chains. Newsham noted Canberra is playing a "neat trick," maintaining a firm defense alliance with the US (AUKUS) while maintaining profitable economic ties with Beijing, reflecting an underlying "softness" toward China. 1015-1030 Colonel Newsham Discusses Promising US-Australia Rare Earth Deal and Canberra's Dual Strategy Toward China Grant Newsham with John Batchelor Colonel Grant Newsham discussed the promising US-Australia rare earth deal, noting Australia has vast mining capabilities to provide an alternative to China's dominance.

Beijing aims to boost the economy via consumption, but the Chinese system is structurally built to communicate only with producers, not average consumers. Furthermore, the deflationary environment encourages people to delay purchases, waiting for lower prices. She views the Five-Year Plans mainly as an "amazing relic" used internally to motivate the sprawling government bureaucracies. 1045-1100 General Zhang Youxia Allegedly Leads PLA Purges Amid Internal CCP Power Struggle General Blaine Holt with John Batchelor General Blaine Holt reported that the purge of nine flag officers was allegedly executed by General Zhang Youxia, not Xi Jinping. Zhang, a top general, began the purges out of fear of becoming a target himself, indicating an internal "civil war" within the CCP factions opposing Xi. Zhang has secured elite military units loyal to him and the People's Liberation Army (PLA), rather than solely the Party, stabilizing the military amidst the turmoil. Zhang's life is at risk if Xi prevails.THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Peter Berkowitz Analyzes Precarious Gaza Ceasefire and Deep Internal Political Tensions in Israel Peter Berkowitz with John Batchelor Peter Berkowitz stated the Gaza ceasefire is precarious and phase one is incomplete until all deceased hostages' remains are returned, aligning with Israeli public and governmental sentiment. Hamas may be stalling negotiations to rearm. Berkowitz noted sharp internal tensions in Israel, driven by opposition to Netanyahu, resentment over judicial reform, and economic exhaustion from military service. He finds it unlikely that the peace plan, which requires Hamas disarmament, will be fully realized. 1115-1130 Peter Berkowitz Analyzes Precarious Gaza Ceasefire and Deep Internal Political Tensions in Israel Peter Berkowitz with John Batchelor Peter Berkowitz stated the Gaza ceasefire is precarious and phase one is incomplete until all deceased hostages' remains are returned, aligning with Israeli public and governmental sentiment.

They prioritize a healthy economy and law and order. Isolationism is not prominent, though they oppose excessive foreign spending. MAGA Republicanism is defined primarily by cultural issues, like anti-progressivism and concern over immigration, often outweighing economic policies like tariffs. Streeter concludes that rank and file voters are not as radical as national politics suggest. 1145-1200 GOP Voters Found More Moderate on Fiscal Issues and Driven by Cultural Anti-Progressivism, According to New Analysis Ryan Streeter with John Batchelor Ryan Streeter discussed findings showing Republican voters are more moderate than portrayed, especially on entitlement cuts.

Confindustria segnala che la crescita in Italia resterà bassa, con un incremento del PIL pari a +0,5% nel 2025 e +0,7% nel 2026. Gli industriali sottolineano la necessità di muovere l’Italia attraverso investimenti produttivi, sbloccando risorse finanziarie ferme in depositi improduttivi. Il Rapporto Autunno 2025 evidenzia che gli incentivi Industria 4.0 hanno già stimolato gli investimenti, soprattutto nelle micro e piccole imprese, contribuendo al recupero di gettito per lo Stato. Tuttavia, il capitale netto pre-crisi finanziaria non è ancora stato ripristinato e l’Italia resta indietro rispetto ad altre economie avanzate nelle tecnologie ad alto contenuto digitale e tecnologico. Per questo, Confindustria chiede nuovi incentivi per sostenere ulteriormente la crescita e la competitività del Paese. Di questo parliamo con Alessandro Fontana, direttore del Centro studi di Confindustria.Autotrasporto, incentivi per formazione professionale: domande dal 20 ottobre. Il Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti ha pubblicato in Gazzetta Ufficiale il decreto del 4 agosto 2025 che mette a disposizione 5 milioni di euro di incentivi per la formazione nel settore dell’autotrasporto. Le domande potranno essere presentate dal 20 ottobre al 24 novembre 2025 esclusivamente via PEC, con firma digitale del legale rappresentante, all’indirizzo ram.formazione2026@pec.it. L’iniziativa mira a sostenere un comparto che soffre la crescente carenza di autisti, rafforzando la competitività delle imprese, sviluppando competenze digitali e tecnologiche e aumentando la sicurezza su strada e sul lavoro. Possono beneficiare dei contributi titolari, soci, amministratori, dipendenti e addetti delle imprese di autotrasporto merci per conto terzi, con piani formativi aziendali o interaziendali. Sono esclusi i corsi obbligatori previsti dalla legge, come patenti e rinnovi. L’iniziativa rappresenta un’opportunità concreta per le imprese e un segnale del Governo per sostenere la formazione professionale nel settore dell’autotrasporto e affrontare la carenza di autisti. Interviene Claudio Donati, segretario generale di Assotir.Spazio: firmata a Sydney intesa per cooperazione tra Asi e Bahrain Space Agency. È stato firmato un memorandum di intesa tra le agenzie spaziali di Italia e Bahrain per cooperare nell’uso pacifico dello spazio e in ambito scientifico, tecnologico e applicativo. L’accordo favorirà attività di capacity building, formazione specialistica per studenti e ricercatori, visite di esperti e l’organizzazione di simposi, conferenze e seminari congiunti. L’intesa arriva in un momento significativo per la space economy europea, anche alla luce del Big Beautiful Bill firmato da Donald Trump, che integra 10 miliardi al budget della NASA fino al 2032 e conferma il finanziamento del Gateway, del programma SLS e della capsula Orion, mantenendo operativi progetti che rischiavano cancellazioni. In questo contesto, l’ASI coordina il contributo industriale italiano, con Telespazio impegnata nel programma Moonlight, volto a garantire navigazione e comunicazioni sicure sulla superficie lunare, insieme a Politecnico di Milano, SDA Bocconi e Qascom, che a marzo hanno stabilito un record con la missione LuGRE. Commentiamo la notizia con Emilio Cozzi, autore del libro "Geopolitica dello spazio".Crescita e conti, oggi in Cdm i numeri alla base della manovra 2026. Il nuovo Documento programmatico di finanza pubblica (Dpfp), in arrivo al Consiglio dei ministri, dovrebbe evidenziare un piccolo margine derivante dal buon andamento dei conti, contribuendo a ridurre il deficit al 3% del PIL e a chiudere la procedura di infrazione dell’UE per deficit eccessivo.Tra le ipotesi della manovra ci sono il nuovo taglio dell’IRPEF per il ceto medio, interventi sulle detrazioni per le famiglie, e una rottamazione delle cartelle più contenuta rispetto al precedente progetto di legge. Sul fronte delle risorse si considerano anche i proventi derivanti dal concordato preventivo per le partite IVA e un possibile contributo delle banche. Secondo il viceministro dell’Economia, Maurizio Leo, tutte le risorse non derivanti da risparmi correnti dovranno essere reperite con tagli o nuove tasse, e resta il nodo di conciliare una manovra restrittiva con la necessità di sostenere la crescita senza far risalire il debito. Ne parliamo con Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore.

L'elaborazione del linguaggio naturale umano da parte delle macchine è stata per decenni un'enorme sfida per gli sviluppatori. Assistenti come Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri o Cortana hanno rappresentato i primi tentativi di sviluppare sistemi in grado di riconoscere la voce e interpretare i comandi, ma con risultati spesso deludenti. La situazione è cambiata drasticamente con l'avvento dei Large Language Model, che oggi riescono a comprendere facilmente le intenzioni dell'utente, interpretarle e rispondere di conseguenza. In questa puntata analizziamo come i modelli linguistici comprendono la nostra voce e quali sono le tecnologie che migliorano questa comprensione, esplorando alcuni esempi di prodotti tra cui il nuovo Insta360 WAVE.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo del possibile addio ai cookie banner, dell'annuncio della NASA sulla data per la missione Artemis II e infine della battaglia legale di Apple contro il Digital Markets Act europeo.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione01:05 - Verso la fine dei cookie banner?

Cuatro astronautas viajarán en la misión Artemis 2 de la NASA en 2026, primera tripulación en orbitar la Luna en 50 años  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Artemis 2 será la primera misión tripulada a la Luna desde 1972. La NASA quiere enviarla entre febrero y abril de 2026. Viajarán tres astronautas de Estados Unidos y uno de Canadá. Será un vuelo de 10 días en la nave Orion para orbitar la Luna sin descender. Esta misión probará sistemas de seguridad y recogerá datos que permitirán aterrizar en la superficie con Artemis 3. La NASA busca adelantarse a China en esta nueva carrera espacial. ¿Qué significa regresar después de medio siglo y por qué ahora sí quieren quedarse?  Han pasado más de cinco décadas desde que Neil Armstrong dio el primer paso en la Luna. Desde entonces, ningún ser humano ha vuelto a viajar tan lejos. Ahora, la NASA se prepara para Artemis 2, un vuelo tripulado que orbitará nuestro satélite entre febrero y abril de 2026. Será un viaje de 10 días con cuatro astronautas: tres estadounidenses y un canadiense. La misión no aterrizará, pero pondrá a prueba la nave Orion y el cohete SLS, esenciales para futuros viajes. Esta misión también es parte de una competencia global: China tiene previsto alunizar con su propio programa antes de 2030. ¿Estamos entrando en una nueva carrera lunar? Artemis es el nombre que la NASA eligió para su programa lunar. Se llama así por la diosa griega de la Luna, hermana gemela de Apolo. El nombre conecta directamente con el recuerdo de los viajes Apolo de los años sesenta y setenta. Artemis 1, en 2022, fue la primera prueba: un vuelo no tripulado que verificó el funcionamiento del cohete SLS y la cápsula Orion. Aunque hubo fallas en el escudo térmico, los ingenieros corrigieron los problemas. Ahora Artemis 2 será la primera misión con humanos. Durante 10 días, la tripulación practicará maniobras de comunicación, verificará sistemas de soporte vital y observará la Luna desde órbita. No habrá alunizaje, pero este paso es indispensable para que Artemis 3, planeada para 2027, ponga de nuevo pies humanos sobre la superficie lunar.  El regreso humano a la Luna no ocurre en un vacío científico. Tiene un fuerte componente geopolítico. En los años sesenta la competencia fue con la Unión Soviética. Hoy la rivalidad es con China, que avanza con rapidez. Pekín ha diseñado un plan claro: usar su nave Mengzhou para orbitar la Luna, un módulo llamado Lanyue para descender y un cohete CZ-10 para lanzar estas piezas al espacio. Planea probar ese cohete en 2027 y enviar su primera misión tripulada con alunizaje antes de 2030. Además, han desarrollado el traje Wanu y un explorador lunar llamado Tano para dar movilidad a sus astronautas. Todo esto muestra que China quiere establecer presencia en el satélite, no como visita breve, sino como primer paso hacia bases permanentes. Estados Unidos no quiere perder la delantera, pero la presión por llegar primero genera tensiones dentro de la NASA: algunos funcionarios han advertido que acelerar puede poner en riesgo la seguridad de los astronautas. ¿Vale más la política que la vida humana?  La NASA insiste en que Artemis 2 será segura. Tras las fallas de Artemis 1, los ingenieros cambiaron la trayectoria de reentrada para reducir el estrés en el escudo térmico. Los cuatro astronautas —Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch y Jeremy Hansen— han entrenado años para enfrentar cualquier emergencia, desde un corte de comunicaciones hasta fallas en motores o problemas de salud en pleno vuelo. El plan es que Artemis 2 demuestre que la cápsula Orion y el cohete SLS están listos para misiones más largas. Mientras tanto, el calendario aprieta: China se prepara para su propio alunizaje con el CZ-10 antes de 2030. Si Artemis 2 sale bien, Estados Unidos podría mantener la ventaja con Artemis 3 en 2027, donde sí habrá descenso. Pero lo más importante es que ambas potencias están pensando en lo mismo: establecer bases permanentes en la Luna que servirán como plataformas de lanzamiento hacia Marte. Esa visión cambia por completo el sentido de la exploración espacial.  El valor de Artemis 2 no se mide solo en lo que haga en órbita lunar. La nave llevará experimentos médicos para estudiar cómo el espacio profundo afecta a los astronautas: se tomarán muestras de sangre y saliva para medir hormonas, densidad ósea y masa muscular. Además, los astronautas vivirán diez días en un espacio muy reducido, equivalente al de una furgoneta grande, lo que servirá para evaluar efectos psicológicos del aislamiento. Orion también llevará chips biológicos llamados AVATARs, con tejidos humanos en miniatura para analizar los efectos de la radiación cósmica. Mientras tanto, China planea que su módulo Lanyue permita estancias cortas en la superficie, con la ayuda del explorador Tano. Allí buscarán agua, analizarán el suelo y probarán nuevas tecnologías. Estados Unidos apuesta por ir paso a paso, primero orbitando y luego alunizando. China, en cambio, busca llegar directo al objetivo: un alunizaje en menos de cinco años. Esta diferencia de estrategias muestra que el siglo XXI tendrá una Luna compartida, donde la cooperación o la competencia decidirán el futuro.  Artemis 2 será el primer viaje tripulado a la Luna en más de 50 años. Aunque no habrá alunizaje, será la base para futuros asentamientos lunares. China también prepara su llegada con la nave Mengzhou, el módulo Lanyue y el cohete CZ-10 antes de 2030. El futuro de la Luna ya no es ciencia ficción: será escenario de cooperación o competencia. Te invito a seguir y comentar este pódcast en Flash Diario.  En 2026 Artemis 2 orbitará la Luna. China prepara su propio alunizaje antes de 2030 con nuevas naves, trajes y exploradores.  

What happens when the ones we love most pass away—but don't really leave? Joey from Greensboro, North Carolina, shares his chilling yet heartfelt encounters with his late father. After his dad's passing from melanoma in 2015, strange activity began filling their home. First, it was the unmistakable sound of his father's whistle—a sound his dogs always recognized. Joey heard it, and soon after, so did his girlfriend from across the house. Then came the voice. Joey's father called his name. His mother also heard it that very same day. Even the family's dog seemed to sense his presence, often sitting and staring silently at the urn that held his ashes. But the most shocking proof came years later. A friend brought over an SLS camera during a casual paranormal experiment. What they captured stopped Joey cold: a figure sitting in the exact spot where his dad's favorite recliner once sat. When Joey reached out, the figure reached back. For Joey, it wasn't about fear—it was confirmation. His father was still there, watching, protecting, reminding them that love doesn't die. #RealGhostStories #Afterlife #ParanormalEvidence #GhostCaughtOnCamera #FamilySpirit #GuardianSpirit #GhostStoriesOnline #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #FathersSpirit Love real ghost stories?

However, it was after having a near death experience when she was 15, that truly opened her senses. She has been using spiritual tools such as dowsing rods pendulums, and oracle cards along with her senses to make connections since she was 20. This has equated to 34 plus years spent on a personal journey of exploration, learning and fine tuning.  She and her husband Scott began investigating together and haven't stopped since. Kim prefers to rely on the Claire senses for investigating, while Scott prefers to use equipment to document and capture unexplained events.  Kim has always held a fascination for the unknown, wanting answers. She loves the validation she receives when real evidence is captured through the devices as well.  In 2016, they actively started making and selling their own version of paranormal equipment. They specialize in EMF and Rem pods, SLS (structured light sensor), the XLS cameras (Based upon Lidar and 3D mapping) and now they have created the FS-SLS which is a full spectrum version of the SLS. They also make specialty items for clients such as The Roads Hotel Spirit Box that is a replica of the Historic Hotel itself.  Kim is a United States Army disabled Veteran. The couple believes in paying it forward and they advocate strongly for https://sacredmtnretreat.org Sacred Mountain Retreat is a non-profit organization that was formed to help veterans, first responders, active duty and gold star family members deal with PTSD and other traumas. In 2024 Kim wrote her first fantasy fiction book called The Lost Son.

Our program primarily focused on Rick's upcoming book "Why Space: The Purpose of People" and his involvement in the New Worlds and Cowboy Ball conference in Austin, which will feature various workshops, speakers, and entertainment. The group discussed the Earthlight Foundation's "Space 4" project for STEM education in Ukraine and an upcoming art exhibition featuring space-themed paintings. The conversation concluded with discussions about NASA leadership challenges, concerns about the Space Launch System program, and plans for future space exploration initiatives.We started out talking about Rick's upcoming book, "Why Space: The Purpose of People," which is set to be released in about a month and a half. The New Worlds and Cowboy Ball conference in Austin, Texas, from October 23-25 was part of the book discussion. .In talking about the New Worlds event, scheduled for October 23-25 at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, we learned that the event will feature workshops on space investment and space communication, as well as a private workshop on biomedical issues. Nine pre-phase A startups will be showcased throughout the event, and the Space Cowboy Ball will cap off the weekend. Rick emphasized that the event aims to differentiate itself from other space conferences by offering engaging content and avoiding typical conference formats. The event will also feature a variety of speakers, including Orson Scott Card, and will include film screenings and other entertainment.Rick talked about his Earthlight Foundation's "Space 4" project, which aims to raise money for STEM education, particularly for rocket clubs and robotics teams in Ukraine. Charles noted Ukraine's historical contributions to space programs, and Rick expressed hope that Ukraine could become a top space power. The group also discussed an upcoming art exhibition featuring space-themed paintings by Ajay while Rick described the "Cowboy Ball," an awards ceremony and dance party with a costume theme.Rick said his upcoming book was a combination of three books covering the history of space exploration, his personal experiences, and the current state of the space industry. He emphasized that the book aims to convey the deeper reasons behind space exploration rather than technical details. Rick also mentioned that he is considering holding a book reading at an upcoming conference but is still undecided.Rick shared his personal journey, which led him to dedicate his life to a cause that became his life's work. He described a series of events, including a bomb threat at an AA meeting in LA and a conversation with Gene Roddenberry, which influenced his path. Rick mentioned his struggles with alcoholism and how sobriety and a conversation with Elon Musk helped him refocus his goals. He also discussed his desire to make Star Trek a reality, which was inspired by a conversation with Gene Roddenberry. Rick's stories are included in his book.Rick also said discussed the book explores the reasons for human space exploration. He explained that his personal realization of space's purpose began in 2011 and outlined three principles of purpose: protecting and expanding the domain of life, honoring and evolving human civilization, and evolving both culturally and physically. Rick also mentioned that the book includes science fiction vignettes and will be published around October 20th.Ajay shared his op-ed on space exploration and offered to send it to Rick for reference. Rick expressed interest in reading it and suggested Ajay bring it to the upcoming conference. They discussed the importance of having multiple voices in the space community and the progress made in commercial space travel over the years. Rick shared his experiences with Elon Musk and SpaceX, highlighting the challenges and efforts made by various individuals to support space exploration initiatives.Later in the program, Rick expressed concerns about the U.S. government's approach to space exploration, particularly regarding China's potential moon landing in 2029 and the lack of support for private space companies. He criticized Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Babbitt for their support of Chinese lunar ambitions, suggesting that their actions may be influenced by political and cultural factors rather than national interests. Ajay and Charles discussed the possibility of financial motivations behind these political stances, though Rick emphasized that he had no concrete evidence of illicit activities.The group discussed the ongoing challenges with the Space Launch System (SLS) program and the need for alternative solutions. Rick emphasized the importance of private sector development of reusable rocket ships, while Charles and John highlighted the high costs and long delays associated with the current SLS program. The conversation touched on the need to continue working against the SLS program while promoting alternatives, with Rick suggesting that private sector innovation could ultimately provide a solution.All of us, Rick included, shared concerns about NASA leadership, with Rick expressing worry that current NASA leadership lacks the necessary vision and boldness to drive significant change, noting that staff are focused on maintaining personal relationships rather than addressing institutional challenges. They agreed that a strong, decisive leader is needed to address national space priorities, with David suggesting that a space-focused show could help influence decision-makers in the White House. The discussion concluded with plans for an open lines program on September 28th, where participants will have the opportunity to discuss space and defense issues further.Please read the summary and see the Zoom video of this program at doctorspace.substack.com.Our Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

But - in the UK at least - the current complaints system is "working for no one", according to the Government's Education Secretary.Jason Elsom, CEO of charity Parentkind, says there's been a surge in parental complaints, that are being amplified via WhatsApp: Quoted in The Times“We are seeing a tsunami of parental complaints. It is never right to name and shame a school or engage in a WhatsApp pile-on, but schools need to make sure they have thought through how they engage parents to nip issues in the bud.”The charity Parentkind found in a poll of 2,000 parents that 38% had filed a formal school complaint in the past year, with the total number of complaints exceeding five million in just one year.Common areas of concern included bullying, student safety, school discipline and behaviour policies, homework, and teacher conduct.Elsom says says Parents are under enormous pressure with a cost-of-living crisis and ever increasing challenges at home, which sometimes spills over into the classroom, with parents complaining to schools about what they are hearing from their children and on WhatsApp groups.“Meanwhile nearly two thirds, or 65%, of school leaders say parental complaints increased during the 2023/24 academic year in a survey by UK and Ireland law firm Browne Jacobson. Nine in 10 (90%) believe complaints-handling is having a detrimental impact on staff wellbeing, with other knock-on effects cited including the quality of education being delivered (53%) and staff retention (48%).Melanie Sanderson, GOOD SCHOOLS GUIDE: https://www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/SOURCE: https://www.brownejacobson.com/BrowneJacobson/media/Media/education/SLS-findings-Spring-2024.pdfOtoZen — a new driving safety appAre you worried about your teenager getting distracted behind the wheel?

Meeting assets for The Space Show Present Mike Gold are ready! 8-29-25Hi David LivingstonThe following assets for the meeting - The Space Show Present Mike Gold are now available.Our program began with discussions about UAP research and national security concerns, including Michael Gold's involvement with NASA's UAP Independent Study Team and his testimony before Congress. The group explored space exploration initiatives, focusing on commercial space activities, human spaceflight capabilities, and international collaboration through the Artemis accords. The conversation concluded with discussions about budget and fiscal challenges, particularly regarding NASA's funding priorities and the need for strategic objectives in space exploration, while also addressing national debt concerns and immigration policies. He went on to discuss his new role at Redwire, focusing on international space business, particularly in Europe where he sees significant growth potential due to the continent's efforts to develop independent space capabilities. He expressed concern about national security threats related to drone technology, noting that if a conflict with China were to occur, they would likely employ similar tactics to Ukraine's against Russia. The discussion concluded with Gold revealing his involvement with NASA's UAP Independent Study Team and congressional testimony on the topic. Space Show participants including John Hunt, John Jossy, Dr. Ajay Kothari, Marshall Martin, guest Dr. Hank Alewine, Bill Gowan and Dr. Doug Plata.As for speaking on the UAP issue and concerns, our guest talked about the importance of addressing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), particularly adversary drones, which he believes could pose a significant threat similar to what Ukraine did to Russia. He expressed concern about the stigma surrounding UAP and emphasized the need for enhanced anti-UAV capabilities to protect military bases, critical infrastructure, and nuclear facilities from potential drone attacks. Gold noted that while the current administration is more attentive to UAP issues, further acceleration in developing drone technology and defense strategies is necessary to prevent future conflicts.He brought up the NASA UAP Independent Study Team's findings and expressed disappointment with the treatment of academic members who faced ridicule and threats for their participation. He highlighted the need for a more objective scientific approach and emphasized the importance of analyzing data and witness testimony from pilots, such as those involved in the Tic Tac incident. Gold also suggested that NASA conduct an archival review and leverage AI/ML to search for UAP-related data, and proposed expanding the NASA ASRS system to include UAP reporting.The group discussed the potential for using the ASRS reporting system to transform pilots, crew members, and passengers into sensors for detecting unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), which could provide valuable data for national security and scientific research. Marshall highlighted the growing global internet connectivity and increased bandwidth, enabling rapid deployment of cameras and sensors to capture anomalies. John Hunt shared insights on the historical context of UAP sightings, particularly around nuclear facilities, and expressed skepticism about some conspiracy theories. Michael emphasized the need for NASA to play a role in collecting and archiving UAP data, while also noting the challenges posed by the physics of UAP sightings. The discussion concluded with optimism about the future of UAP research, particularly under the leadership of NASA's interim administrator, Sean Duffy, and the potential for bipartisan support in Congress.We moved on with a discussion about the importance of human spaceflight and the potential for commercialization of the International Space Station (ISS). He highlighted Redwire's recent developments in bioprinting and pharmaceuticals, including the creation of a subsidiary called Space MD to commercialize space-grown crystals for drug development. Michael addressed concerns about the ISS's commercialization and its impact on funding for Moon and Mars initiatives, emphasizing that all three should be pursued simultaneously. He also touched on Redwire's global operations, including its presence in Europe and plans for expansion. The discussion concluded with questions about the timeline for bio printed medical implants and potential collaboration on artificial gravity technologies.The group talked about several space exploration initiatives, focusing on seed crystal development for drug creation and agricultural research in microgravity. Michael Gold highlighted Red Wire's collaboration with NASA and Vast for flying a pillbox in Haven One, emphasizing the importance of microgravity for various fields including agriculture and organ fabrication. Ajay raised concerns about the lack of focus on lunar infrastructure and cargo missions, suggesting the use of Falcon Heavy for cost-effective cargo transport to the moon. The discussion also touched on the need for human spaceflight capabilities to compete with China and the importance of cargo systems, with Michael noting that the administration plans to enhance the CLPS program with CLPS 2.0 for more robust lunar surface operations.Much was said about the Artemis Accords. The Artemis Accords and their success in bringing 56 countries together, with Doug proposing the need for a follow-on to coordinate international lunar exploration as Starship development progresses. Michael Gold emphasized the importance of leveraging the accords to optimize investments and collaborations among nations, while expressing caution regarding potential deals with China due to national security concerns and IP theft. The discussion also touched on Redwire's focus on innovation to address economic challenges and create new opportunities for America.The group discussed the potential of SpaceX's Starship for space manufacturing, with Michael highlighting its cost-effectiveness for launching large payloads like medical laboratories. They explored the economic and strategic importance of space exploration, with Gold emphasizing the need for continued investment in space capabilities to maintain American leadership and national security. The conversation also touched on the future of the International Space Station (ISS) and the importance of developing commercial space stations, with Gold advocating for maximizing ISS utilization while advancing plans for a Commercial LEO Destination (CLD).The group discussed the challenges of reducing the national debt, with Hank and David agreeing that current spending rates outpace revenue growth, making it difficult to balance the budget. They explored potential solutions, including selective increases in legal immigration and the role of automation and AI in the workforce, with Hank expressing concerns about AI's impact on education and cheating in online courses. The conversation concluded with a discussion of the demographic challenges facing many countries, including the United States, and the need to consider alternative approaches to immigration and education in response to these changes.As for the challenges of addressing the national debt and deficit, Hank noted that increased federal revenue through taxation has not led to reduced spending. David and Marshall highlighted how tax increases can reduce production and marketing, while John Hunt suggested that gradual inflation could help reduce the debt over time, though this approach faces political and economic challenges. The conversation also touched on the potential for state and local governments to handle certain services more efficiently, with Hank questioning the necessity of some federal rolesThe group discussed space policy and budget issues, with Hank expressing concerns about NASA's funding and the broader space sector's impact on national debt. Hank, who wrote the first paper on space accounting, emphasized the need for a complete rebranding of NASA's objectives in the new space economy and highlighted the lack of courage among academics and practitioners to discuss fiscal responsibility in space spending. The conversation also touched on the challenges of having open discussions about space funding priorities, with Hank noting that such conversations often become political and lead to excessive spending through Continuing Resolutions.As we were nearing the end of the program, we discussed NASA's priorities and budget, with Hank emphasizing the need to focus on strategic objectives and eliminate inefficiencies, particularly in activities that could be better handled by the private sector. They critically examined the cost and timeline issues of the SLS program, with Hank noting that NASA's infrastructure is often spread across congressional districts to secure funding. The conversation also touched on China's advanced space program and its potential to surpass the U.S. in lunar exploration, highlighting the need for the U.S. to accelerate its efforts. Mike offered his comments and thoughts on this issues as we closed our meeting.Be sure to watch the Zoom video of this program at doctorspace.substack.com.

OL for Sunday, 8-24-25 Meeting summaryOur Open Lines program began with members of our Advisory Board in the Zoom meeting on casual conversation about the upcoming Starship test 10 flight. The group then explored various space-related topics including more Starship test flights, SpaceX, lunar landing architectures, and NASA's Artemis program, while also discussing the importance of public communication about space exploration and its potential benefits. The conversation ended with discussions about scientific discoveries, upcoming shows featuring space policy experts, and an art showing by Dr. Kothari, along with additional updates about the upcoming Starship launch.Our pre-program conversation ended with David announcing upcoming Space Show programs, including a discussion with Dr. Namrata Goswami about national security and the Chinese space program, and a potential interview with Greta, an emeritus professor from Yale who has a new thesis about the extinction of dinosaurs. Space Show program participants included Marshall Martin, John Jossy, Rick Kwan, Michael Listner, John Hunt, and Dr. A.J. Kothari.We started the actual meeting by talking about the upcoming Starship test flight (it was postponed), with Marshall estimating a 60% chance of success. They debated how success should be measured, with John Jossy noting that while not blowing up is a success, completing a good percentage of experiments is also important. Rick and Marshall discussed the transition from version 2 to version 3 of Starship, with Marshall noting that the main upgrade is replacing Raptor 2 engines with Raptor 3 engines. The group also touched on the challenges of keeping the dry weight low while maximizing payload capacity for Mars missions. They concluded that a failed test would likely have a cascading effect on schedules, particularly for Artemis, but that SpaceX has the financial resources to continue development.The group discussed the number of test flights needed for SpaceX's Starship, with Marshall suggesting 11 flights based on his spreadsheet analysis. They debated the risks of betting on the Artemis program's timeline to beat China to the moon, with John Hunt and David expressing concerns about the current infrastructure and delays. Rick noted that Chinese technology is rapidly improving, potentially making it harder to catch up. The discussion concluded with David suggesting that Congress might not be as motivated to play catch-up with China as previous generations were with the Soviets.In addition, we discussed potential lunar landing and return architectures, with Marshall proposing to use Dragon in the nose of a Starship for moon landings, though Dr. Kothari pointed out that Dragon lacks sufficient delta-V for lunar takeoff. Ajay raised concerns about the need for NRHO operations to continue despite budget constraints, while Marshall suggested repurposing Starship as a moon base by tilting it and connecting to future Starships, which would create a legal claim on the moon. The discussion concluded with John Jossy noting that current law mandates continued use of SLS, Orion, and Gateway through Artemis 5, suggesting any architectural changes would need legislative approval.The group discussed NASA's Artemis program and leadership challenges. David expressed concerns about the lack of full-time NASA leadership and the need for better communication to the general public about space exploration's importance. Michael Listner suggested that a permanent NASA administrator might not be necessary and that the current political situation would likely remain unchanged for the foreseeable future. The group agreed to attend a special Space Show program with Mike Gold on August 28th to further discuss these issues.The group discussed the importance of both informing the public and conducting scientific/engineering work in space. Rick presented three key space manufacturing opportunities: pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and fiber optics, noting progress through NASA's InSpace program led by Lynn Harper. They explored the potential for quantum computing in space, particularly on the moon where cooler temperatures would enable more efficient operation, and discussed the O'Neilian dream of moving heavy manufacturing into space to address environmental concerns. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, though concerns were raised about whether these technical advancements would resonate with the general public.Together we talked about the benefits of space research and its potential to improve lives through medical advancements, such as 3D printing of organs and artificial tissues, which could address critical shortages in organ transplants. They emphasized the importance of effectively communicating these benefits to the public, suggesting that focusing on current achievements and practical applications, rather than overhyping future possibilities, would help gain public support for space exploration. Marshall highlighted the economic potential of Starlink, predicting significant revenue that could fund future space endeavors, while Michael and others stressed the need to highlight existing technologies and their impact on daily life to engage the public. A few of our participants said to be careful not to promise too much. We had a brief discussion about that potential problem.David discussed the potential of space and low gravity environments to advance medical research, particularly in gene therapy for diseases like cystic fibrosis. He emphasized that while solutions to medical problems likely already exist, the challenge is accessing and implementing them, which requires funding and conducive environments. Rick raised concerns about the prioritization of NASA's budget for exploratory missions versus other technologies like stem cell research. David argued that a great nation can pursue multiple goals simultaneously. Marshall highlighted the role of the U.S. military and Space Force in space exploration and security, suggesting they could be a viable second source for dual-purpose initiatives. John Jossy shifted the discussion to focus on accomplishments and ongoing projects in space exploration.Some of our participants spoke to several scientific discoveries, including a landmark study on the universe's early galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope and the discovery of super-hot spring strings that may account for dark matter. John Hunt shared updates about anomalous materials found at Skinwalker Ranch, which are being analyzed by a team of scientists, though no peer-reviewed paper has been published yet. The conversation ended with a reminder about upcoming Zoom shows, including one with Dr. Goswami on Tuesday evening.We closed by promoting an upcoming special show on Thursday at 12:30 PM West Coast time featuring Mike Gold discussing space policy and commerce. Marshall predicted that space commerce could become a significant source of income in the next 5-10 years, addressing the economic challenges of space projects. Ajay announced an art showing in Fairfax, Virginia on September 20th, featuring his work "The Abstraction of Mind from the Mind of a Rocket Scientist." The group also discussed the Starship launch for later today, with John Jossy noting that Elon Musk's update would likely be broadcast before the launch at 4 PM their time.Don't forget that you can see the Zoom video of this program and hear the audio archive at doctorspace.substack.com.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:24   Welcome to GRE from Pawtucket, Rhode Island to Poughkeepsie, New York and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm your host. Keith weinholdin, this is get rich education, not to inflate a sense of self importance, but each episode is an even bigger deal than a New York Jets preseason football game. You might have thought you knew real estate until you listened to this show, from street speak to geek speak. I use it all to break down how with investment property, you don't have to live below your means. You can grow your means as we're discussing the mortgage landscape this week. You know, I recently had a bundle of my own single family rental homes transfer mortgage servicers from Wells Fargo over to Mr. Cooper. And that was easy. I didn't have to do anything. The automatic payments just automatically transferred over. And yes, Mr. Cooper, it's sort of a funny sounding name that you don't exactly see them putting the naming rights on stadiums out there, but the new servicer prominently wanted to point out the effect of me making extra $100 monthly principal payments and how much in interest that would save me over time, sort of suggesting that it would be a good idea for me to do so. Oh, as you know, like I've discussed extensively, extra principal pay down is a really poor use of your capital. It's a lot like how in the past, now you've probably seen it like I have, your mortgage company promotes you making bi weekly payments all year, so you'd effectively make some extra principal pay down each year. That way. Don't fall for it. Banks promote biweekly payments because it sounds borrower friendly, it encourages an earlier loan payoff. Well, that actually reduces lender risk and increases your risk. And the whole program can come with extra fees too. It just ties up more of your money in something that's unsafe, illiquid, and with a rate of return that's always zero, since that's exactly what home equity is. As we're about to talk mortgages with an expert today, I will be sure to surface that topic. We'll also talk about the housing market effect of a president firing a Fed chair. When you're living under the rule of a president that desperately and passionately wants lower interest rates, you've got to wonder what would happen if a president just had the power to go lower them himself, which is actually what most any president would want to do, but you almost don't have to wonder what would happen. You can just look at what actually did happen in Turkey. Now, yes, Turkey already did have an inflation problem, worse than us, for sure, but Turkish President Erdogan went ahead and lowered Turkey's interest rates despite persistent inflation. I mean, that's a situation where most would raise rates in order to combat inflation. Well, lowering rates like that soon resulted in substantially higher inflation to the tune of almost 60. Yes, six 0% per year before cooler heads prevailed and the Turkish government was forced to drastically raise rates. But it was too late. The damage was already done to the reputation of Turkey's economy and its everyday citizens and consumers. I mean, that was a painful, real world example of how critical central bank independence is. You've also got to ask yourself a question here, do you really want to live in the type of economy where we would need a bunch of rate cuts? Because when rate cuts happen, it usually results from the fact that people are no longer employed, or we're in a recession, or financial markets are really unstable. So there are certainly worse maladies out there than where we are today, which is with moderate inflation, pretty strong employment and interest rates that are actually a little below historic levels. I mean, that is not so bad. Before we talk both long term mortgage lessons and more nascent mortgage trends today coming up on future episodes of the show here, a lot of info and resources to help you build wealth as usual. Also an A E TELEVISION star of a real estate reality show will make his debut here on GRE.    Keith Weinhold  6:24   Hey, do you like or even live by any of the enduring GRE mantras, like, Don't live below your means, grow your means, or financially free, beats debt free, or even, don't quit your Daydream.

You can find it at shop.getricheducation.com that's shop.getricheducation.com   Keith Weinhold  7:18   today we're talking to the longtime president of ridge lending group. They specialize in providing income property loans to real estate investors like you, and she's also a long time real estate investor herself. I've shared with you before that ridge is where I get my own loans. They've worked with 10s of 1000s of real estate investors, not just primary residence owners, but real estate investors as well as homeowners all over the country, and at this point, she's like a GRE icon, a fixture regularly with us since 2015 Hey, welcome back to get rich education the inimitable Chaley Ridge,    Caeli Ridge  7:54   ooh, Mr. Keith Weinhold, thank you, sir. So good to see you, my friend. Thanks for having me   Keith Weinhold  8:00   opening up that thesaurus tab right about now, I think maybe JAYLEE, why don't we have the chat everyone wants to have? Let's discuss interest rates, starting with the vitriol from Trump to Powell has reached new heights. This year, Trump has called Powell a numbskull, Mr. Too late, a real dummy, a complete moron, a fool and a major loser, among other names. And you know, at times, I've seen Realtors even blasting Jerome Powell for not cutting rates. Well, the Fed doesn't directly control mortgage rates, and it's also not the Fed's job to boost Realtors summer sales. It's to protect the long term stability of the US economy. Tell us your thoughts.    Caeli Ridge  8:48   So this is a rather complicated topic, okay, and there's a lot that under the hood that goes into how a long term mortgage bond interest rate is going to go up or going to go down. As you said, it's not necessarily just the Fed and the fed fund rate, which, by the way, for those that are not familiar with this, the fed fund rate is the intra daily trading rate between banks. So while there is a connection between that and that of the 30 year long term fixed rate mortgage, they are not the same thing. And in fact, statistically, I believe I read this last week, the last three fed fund rate reductions did the opposite to long term rates, right? So we went the other direction. So please be clear that the viral, as you say, of President Trump and what his opinions are about Mr. Powell and his decisions to keep that fed fund rate unchanged for the last several meetings that they've had, I think, is more of a distraction, but that's another conversation overall. I would say that, is he too late? Is he right on time? You know, there's so much data and so many data points that they're looking at, and there's this thing in the industry called a Lag that, in truth, they're not getting the actual data points that they need real time. It's lagging, so the data that's coming out to them today isn't going to be what's relevant and necessary to make changes tomorrow, next month and next week. Most recently, you probably saw in the news the BLS Bureau of Labor and Statistics and the jobs report came in far under what the expectation was. So that might have been the catalyst. I think that will drive Powell and group to reduce that is the overwhelming expectation that the fed fund rate is going to come down by how much. We don't know. Secondary markets are already baking that in, by the way. So when we talk about long term interest rates, I'm starting to see some changes on the day to day. I get access to that stuff, and I'm looking at it daily, the ticker tape of where the treasury bonds and things are. So I'm starting to see some slight improvement to interest rates in preparation of that market expectation, interest rate on the fed fund level will probably reduce. But I think overall, Keith that the Fed is in a really difficult position, because when you think about what really is going to drive the fed fund rate, and then potentially the long term rate, is counterintuitive to what most people or consumers expect, right? They think if the fed fund rate reduces by a quarter of a percentage point, then a long term 30 year fixed should probably reduce by the same amount. It does not go hand in hand like that. Now, while there are trends right, that doesn't happen that way, and more often than not, the worse our economy is doing, the better a 30 year interest rate will be. So in my industry, I'm kind of always playing on the fence, thinking I don't want anything bad for our country and the economy. However, the worse it does, the better interest rates are going to become. And if you've been paying attention, the economy is in decent shape. We're not doing that bad. Inflation is still up, so the metrics that they're using to kind of gage and predict that lag and where we're going to be are not in line to say that interest rates are going to drop a half or a point or a point and a half in the next year to 18 months. Those signs are not out there for me. All of that said, I know that interest rate is top of mind for I mean, I'm on the phone all day long. I like that part of my job where I'm still interfacing with investors on day to day. Big chunk of my day is spent talking to clients, and that is one of the top questions, probably one of the first questions that come out of their mouth, where interest rates? What are interest rates? And what I have sort of started to really form and say to that question is, if interest rates are the catalyst to your success in real estate, you probably need to do a little bit more research, because interest rates should not be the make or break for your success. Well, as a real estate investor   Keith Weinhold  12:45   the Fed has a dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices. Inflation, though still somewhat elevated, has stayed about the same the past few months. History shows us that the Fed is more comfortable with inflation floating up than they are with suppressed employment levels. To your point about recent reports about us not adding many jobs, and the Fed being concerned about that, the translation for those that don't know is, if the job market is weak, lowering rates, which is what increasingly people think they tend to do later this year. Lowering rates helps encourage businesses. It's more likely that businesses will borrow and expand and hire more people. Therefore, if rates are low now, whether that translates into a lower mortgage rate or not, by lowering that fed funds rate? Yes, there is that positive correlation. Generally, the lower the Fed funds rate goes, the lower mortgage rates tend to go although that isn't always the case. To your point. Shailene, late last year, there were three Fed funds rate cuts, and mortgage rates actually went up, which is somewhat of an aberration that usually doesn't happen that way, but that's the environment we're in. Most people think Fed rate cuts are coming later this year.   Caeli Ridge  14:04   Yeah. And I would say, you know, the other thing too, when we talk about the pressure that the Fed is under right now, specifically, Powell, he's being attacked, fine, and whether I agree or disagree, really important for listeners to understand that the indifference that the Fed is supposed to have right bipartisan, it's not supposed to have a dog in that fight. If it did the calamity, I think what would happen economically in this country would be devastating if other economic powers were to see that our particular financial institutions are swayed one way or another. Politically, that would be devastating to us. So I think Powell has done a decent job at staying the course. He's continued to do what he says, says what he does. So so far, I'm okay. Is he late to reduce rates? I don't know that I'm qualified to say that, maybe. But at the same time, I think that his impartiality has been consistent, and that for that part of it, I'm. Grateful   Keith Weinhold  15:00   for those who don't understand if Trump just told Powell what to do and Powell followed Trump's orders, how does that devastate the economy?    Caeli Ridge  15:09   It shows partiality to or Fieldy to one particular party, right? It's not an independent institution where financial policy quantitative easing, quantitative tightening, all of those different things that are necessary to keep the pistons pumping. It isn't it's very specific to Fieldy and the leader of telling based on potentially ego or other elements that have not a lot to do with fiduciary responsibility.   Keith Weinhold  15:37   If Powell did everything Trump said, I feel like we would have negative interest rates right now   Caeli Ridge  15:43   that could be a problem, especially if the economy and inflation is on the rise, and then you get the tariffs. I mean, there's so much layering to this. I mean, we could go on and on about it, but overall, let me close with this. I think that interest rates are probably on the run, if I had to guess. Now, there's all kinds of variables that could make that statement untrue, but overall, in the next year to two years, I do think we'll see some relief in interest rates, barring any major catastrophe. But again, investors, if your success, if you're tying your real estate portfolio, your real estate investing, whatever modality you're interested in, if you're tying that to an interest rate, and there's a certain number that you have ethereal in your mind, you're going to lose your success in real estate. Interest rate is a component of it, but it should not be tied to your success or failure. You should be able to do the math and look at the differences in real estate opportunities, investment, whether it be long term, short term, midterm, single family, two to four appreciation, cash flow, all those things should be considered, and you will find adequate returns independent of an interest rate. If you're diversifying that way   Keith Weinhold  16:49   there is more evidence that Americans have warmed up and gotten somewhat used to normal mortgage rates. This normalization of mortgage rates, they are pretty close to their historic norms. In fact, a recent housing sentiment survey done by turbo home found that in q1 of this year, 41% of homeowners surveyed said that a 6% mortgage rate was the highest they would accept on their next purchase. Right that was back in q1 today, up from 41%, 52% of respondents now say a 6% mortgage rate is the highest that they would accept. Evidence that people are warming up and normalizing this.   Caeli Ridge  17:30   The other thing too is the pandemic rates. Right? That's been a very hard shell to crack. The people that got these two and 3% interest rates during 2020 2021, part of 22 they're really reticent to let those go, and I think that they're doing themselves a disservice as a result. If you can get a second lean HELOC, okay, fine, but overall, if you're just going to let that untapped equity sit, it's going to be to your disadvantage.

Intelligence Analyst, listen to get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your Daydream.   Keith Weinhold  20:05   Welcome back to get rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. We're talking with a familiar guest this week. That's Ridge lending Group President, Caeli. Ridge wealth is built through compound leverage faster than compound interest. And leverage means using loans. I think most everyone the first time in their life they look at loan amortization tables and learn things like, oh, with a 15 year loan, you pay substantially less interest, perhaps hundreds of 1000s of dollars less interest with a 15 year loan and its lower mortgage rate than you do with a 30 year loan and its higher mortgage rate. But a lot of people don't take that next step and look that Oh, rather than paying down my home loan with extra principal payments, if I just invested the difference, I would be substantially better off down the road. So in a lot of cases, the more sophisticated investor chooses that longer loan duration, the 30 year. That's the way I see it. What do you see? Most of your prefer there.   Caeli Ridge  21:12   It's one of my favorite topics to cover, because there's quite a few layers that I think can all connect. If an individual wants to pay less in interest very easily, I'm going to strenuously advise them to take a 30 year over a 15 year and just simply apply the difference. So let's just start with the applicable version of 15 versus 30 and how it can benefit or harm. Because this is what a lot of times people that go for the 15 year and wanting to pay less in interest. Don't understand, and it's never been delivered to them in a reasonable way, I guess. So just looking at those two, and then we'll get to the strategy of potentially reinvesting those dollars elsewhere. But just look at a 30 year and a 15 year. I am a massive deterrent against a shorter term amortization. I hate a shorter term amortization, because all that's going to do to the individual is limit their ability to qualify later on down the road. And the reason for that is, is that the shorter term, as you had described, is going to yield a higher monthly payment. So when we pull credit for an individual, that's a higher monthly payment that the debt to income ratio has to support, when in fact, if we simply just look at the two side by side, 15 year and a 30 year equal, equal loan sizes. The 15 year is going to have a lower interest rate. It's true, but the amortization is obviously half the amount. We've gone from 360 months, 30 years to 180 months, 15 years. So the payment obviously is going to be much, much higher if you take the payment difference between those two mortgage products and apply it with a 30 year fixed payment. Let's just call it 500 bucks a month, whatever the number is, and you are disciplined to send that extra 500 bucks every single month with your 30 year fixed mortgage payment. You will cross the finish line in 15.4 years, I think, is the average when you run the amortization, so you'll pay a few extra months worth of interest, but whatever, you'll never pay the higher interest that the 30 year has locked at because you've accelerated the payoff of the debt so quickly, and you've maximized your debt to income ratio and future qualifications never take the shorter term amortization. It is to your greatest disadvantage. I hate them. That's part one. Did you have a comment? I can see that your wheels are spinning.   Keith Weinhold  23:24   That is a great answer. If you get the 30 year loan instead of the 15 if you apply an extra principal payment, whatever it would be, call it 500 plus dollars, that you will kill off that loan, that 30 year loan in something like 15.4 years. Yes, and you'll have the lower payment amount for your qualification, going forward, you'll have more flexibility in your life. That's great. I didn't realize the difference 15.4 versus 15 was that small? That's a great takeaway.   Caeli Ridge  23:50   Yeah, absolutely. And the other piece, you kind of just hit on it, the individual's feet are not held to the fire at that higher payment. So let's say it's a rental, okay, whatever. It goes vacant for a month, or a couple months, God forbid, or whatever may be happening. You now get to choose. You are not obligated at that higher monthly payment. You can say, Okay, this month, I'm not going to pay the extra. I don't da, da, da. It's all within your control. So you're killing like four birds with one stone. I really prefer the 30 year amortization for all those reasons. So now let's take it and move into how I believe, and I agree with your philosophy, taking those dollars and applying them, because when we talk about mortgage interest, especially on investment property, okay, it's probably a slightly different conversation when we're talking about somebody's primary residence, home, but for an investment property to take that difference and apply it toward another investment, because the interest remember, you guys, we're investors. We want that Schedule E deduction, that interest deduction, as money goes a 30 year fixed mortgage, even today, as interest rates are elevated beyond the two and three percents that people somehow fixated on, that that's where interest rates should just be forever. You've got Mass. Amounts of interest deduction, so you're paying less in taxes. For that reason, there's so many reasons to stretch out that mortgage on an investment property versus extinguishing that debt, not to mention, you want to constantly be harvesting equity, ideally, pulling cash out. Borrowed funds are non taxable, deploying them, but then taking that extra cash flow and stockpiling it for another investment, whether that just be the down payment or for other things. I just think there's so many better places that those funds can go to produce more wealth than accelerating the payoff of that debt that's benefiting you, from a tax perspective, and several other ways. There's lots of other ways to apply that money. I   Keith Weinhold  25:43   I often ask, why accelerate the payoff on a, say, 7% mortgage interest rate loan, when instead you can take those savings, reinvest them into other real estate, where it sounds preposterous on its face to think of the rate of return that you can get from an income property, but when you add up all the five ways you're paid, appreciation, cash flow, loan pay down, made by the tenant, tax benefits and the inflation profiting benefit on the long term fixed interest rate debt, a return of 20% plus is not out of the question at all. So if it's 20, why would you pay off extra on a seven? That's 13 points of arbitrage that you could gain there by not aggressively paying down a property and instead making a down payment on another income property. Chaeli, when it comes to these type of questions and accelerating a payoff, why do banks seem to encourage that you make bi weekly payments rather than monthly payments, therefore accelerating your principal pay down.   Caeli Ridge  26:42   I'm not sure the reason behind that. I don't know that I've even seen a lot of that from my lens and my perspective. It's definitely not something I ever comment or preach on. But the overall, what's happening there when you do it the bi weekly, so instead of making $1,000 at the first of the month, you make 500 and then 500 right, middle of them on first of the month. What's happening there is, because of the way the annual calendar goes, it ends up being an extra payment per year, right? I think that's the math. Is, when you do it that way, you end up making an extra payment per year, so you can accelerate. And there's you're not doing anything different, necessarily, to in your cash flow, etc. So I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I don't know what the benefit is to the institution that would in communicate that to its consumer. Yeah,   Keith Weinhold  27:27   Yeah, it ends up being 26 bi weekly payments, which has the effect of making 13 monthly payments in a 12 month year, accelerating your pay down. In my experience, it seems that banks encourage this. They contact borrowers. They've contacted me in the past, laying out a welcome mat. Hey, would you like this plan here? And in my mind, accelerating the payoff. We already talked about how that's typically not a good investment. The more you know about the trade off between loans and equity, really, I'm transferring more of the risk onto myself and less they're onto the bank when I accelerate my payoff. So I agree. I'm not interested in doing that at all.    Caeli Ridge  28:06   You know, maybe Keith, it could be, because I people talk about this a lot, those people, and let's say that there are a group of individuals that might benefit. Let's say they're in phase three, right? They're well into retirement. They just want to start paying off. They're not maybe investing anymore. They just want to leave that legacy, perhaps, or whatever their circumstances are, and they don't want to take additional capital and apply it to the principal and lock up those funds and make them illiquid. So maybe, just as an easy sidebar, they just make two payments month versus one. I get a lot of people asking that question. I mean, over the years, I know that like at the closing table, we'll have clients say, Hey, is the servicer going to be set up to accept bi weekly payments? And a lot of times they don't like SLS. I mean, there's a lot of servicers out there that will not accept or don't have the infrastructure to collect those bi weekly so maybe just as a consumer desire out there, the servicers have gotten wise to it, and they just offer it. I can't think of the reason behind why they would promote that to their database. I don't know.   Keith Weinhold  29:09   Another question that I hear quite often, and probably do as well there is about bundling multiple properties into one loan. Can you tell us about that?   Caeli Ridge  29:20   Yeah, that's called cross collateralization. So we're taking residential property, okay, and putting them into a commercial blanket loan. So any combination of single family, up to four unit, five Plex and above is now considered commercial. So it's got to be single family, condo, duplex, triplex, fourplex, right? It's residential property, and they're taking any combination of that and putting it into one blanket loan, cross collateralizing it. Now, I believe the most incentivized way or desire to want to do this is probably for two reasons. One, to free up golden tickets, right? Golden tickets are those Fannie Freddie loans that we talk about a lot. There are 10 of these per qualified individual, if. If someone has maxed out their golden tickets, let's say they've got 12, 1314, properties, they could take five or 10 or 13, whatever the number, and put them into a commercial blanket cross collateralized loan, as long as it's non recourse. That means no personal guarantee is attached to it. The rule per golden ticket will free up all those spaces. So usually this applies to an individual that has a portfolio that has stabilized. This will usually work when the portfolio has had a couple of years to make sure that you've got your consistent tenants and anything that may come up, repairs, maintenance, et cetera, stabilized portfolios and then putting them into that cross collateralization, because the terms are not going to be the same as just a 30 year fixed Okay, especially if you're going to be looking to take cash out and harvest equity that way, that may be a real opportune time to borrow funds. Borrowed funds are non taxable once again, pull the cash out, put it into a non recourse loan. You've got half a million dollars of capital now that you can then go and get a whole new set of golden tickets for expanding your portfolio. So that's something that we focus on for individuals that have maybe maxed out of that that conventional landscape and or are looking to scale and acquire more properties, but they don't want to necessarily look at some of the DSCR loans. They want to get back into the Fannie Freddie box.    Keith Weinhold  31:22   Yeah, so someone could bundle and get cash out simultaneously, potentially, is there anything else that qualifies or disqualifies one for bundling many loans into one like this?   Caeli Ridge  31:35   It's a commercial underwrite. So they should be aware of that. Now, certainly, we're looking at the individual typically in those loans, the underwriting of those loans, the individual's liquidity and credit are most what we're focusing on, but it's about the property in the portfolio, DSCR, that debt service coverage ratio is a big factor. So we're looking at the income against the monthly expense. Generally. That's going to be the principal, interest, tax and insurance on a commercial basis, they throw in the maintenance, vacancy, et cetera, averages. So you want to see, generally speaking, about 1.2 on those when you divide the incomes and the expenses and then otherwise, yeah, LTV might be a little bit restricted on something like that, 70% usually, maybe you can get as much as 75 if you've got a really strong portfolio. But otherwise, for you, individually, liquidity, some liquidity there, and good credit is what is important. As long as the portfolio is operating at a gain, then you're good to go.    Keith Weinhold  32:32   Yeah, that cross collateralization could be really attractive. Well, Chile, we've been in this presidential administration that has shaken things up like few, if any, prior administrations have. One of those things is that they have pushed for cryptocurrency holdings to be recognized as assets in mortgage loan qualification. Now that's something that would probably pend approval by the FHFA and critics cite volatility. I mean, there's been a pattern where every few years, Bitcoin drops 80% before rebounding, and I'm not exaggerating, and that has happened a number of times. And another administration desire is this potential Fannie Mae Freddie Mac merger, or an IPO an initial public offering. Can you tell us what that's about   Caeli Ridge  33:21   let's start with the crypto first, whether or not this, this gets through the Congress and or FHFA, however, that that develops and becomes actualized, that may be different than what the lending institutions decide to take a risk on, right the allowance of that crypto so it even if it's approved and they say that, Yes, that we can use this for asset depletion or reserve requirements, or whatever it may be. I don't know necessarily that you're going to see a lot of the lending institutions jump on board. I think they'll probably have overlays. It's just kind of the layering of risk on the crypto side to ensure that the asset and the underwrite is less likely to default. I don't see a lot of lending institutions that are probably going to jump on that bandwagon immediately. That's probably going to need more time and consistency with that particular asset class. That's the crypto thing. So that's a TBD on the other side, we're talking about conservatorship. So post, oh 809, right? The housing crash and Dodd Frank, if you've not heard of those names before, they're just the last names of individuals that that rewrote that sweeping legislation across all sectors of finance. Once we saw housing and lending implode upon each other, Fannie Freddie, as a result, went into conservatorship. Now what they're saying, what the administration is saying is, is that they are going to say that the implicit guarantee actually, let me back up really, really quickly. I will not take too much time on this so Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac The reason that those products are the golden tickets, as we call them, and we're just focused on investor products right now is because highest leverage, lowest interest rate. And why is it like that? That's because it has a United States government guarantee. Against default. So this mortgage backed security is bundled up with other mortgage backed securities and sold, bought and sold on the secondary market to investors, foreign and domestic. Right? Investors that are buying mortgage backed securities, they know that that paper is secure. If it defaults. We've got the United States government that's giving us a guarantee against default. So that's why it's such a secure investment. If we come out of conservatorship, technically, that would normally mean that you may not have that implicit guarantee. However, the Trump administration and those that are in that space, FHFA, Pulte and all those guys, they're saying that that guarantee should still apply if that happens, if that's how they release this, I don't see anything wrong if they do it without all of the volatility. You know, let's use the tariffs as an example. It was all over the place. It was there, and then it was gone. It was up, and then it was down. It was 30% then it was two right? It was it was just so much, and the markets really had a hard time with it. And as a result, I think a lot of people lost massive amounts of wealth in the stock market because of that. So I think that there is some real benefits to getting the Fannie, Freddie, the GSCs, government sponsored enterprises, out of conservatorship. I think it just opens up for more fair trade in the market. But they have to do it the right way, and as long as they keep that guarantee, that government guarantee, and then they take their time and apply the steps appropriately, I think it could be a good thing, ultimately, for the consumer. Now, if they don't, it could really have devastating impacts, and I think it could even raise interest interest rates higher. I know Trump and folks don't want that, so I think they're mindful of it. That's just kind of the take I get. But we'll see,   Keith Weinhold  36:42   yeah, because that's my preeminent thought with this. Shaylee, if Fannie and Freddie come out of conservatorship, and there's no government backstop on those loans, it seems like the banks are exposed to more risk, and consequently would have to compensate for that, potentially with a higher interest   Caeli Ridge  36:57   rate. You said it better than I did. Yes, I get too technical when I go down those rabbit holes. That's exactly right. I do not think that they will go down that that path without that implicit guarantee. I expect, if this thing comes to fruition, I expect that that guarantee will be there.   Keith Weinhold  37:13   Yeah, it does seem likely, with as much administration concern as there is about the housing market and the level of mortgage rates and all kinds of interest rates out there. Well, JAYLEE, this has been a great, wide ranging conversation all the way from strategy to what the administration is doing in interfacing with the mortgage market. If someone wants to learn more about you and your products, tell us what you offer, including your very popular all in one loan there at ridge.    Caeli Ridge  37:41   Ooh, thank you for teeing that up. Yeah, especially right now, when people have a lot of concern about interest rates right or wrong, the all in one is a very unique product that removes that fear. It's a way that investors, especially can take control of their equity, pay less in interest, and sometimes hundreds of 1000s of dollars less in interest, while maintaining equity and flexibility and liquidity. Cannot say enough about this product. The all in one. First lien HELOC is my very favorite. For the right individuals, we've talked about it many, many times. They can find us talking about it all over YouTube. You and I have quite a few conversations about that. So that and so much more, guys. So the all in one, you've got the Fannie Freddie's, our debt service ratio products, our bank statement loans, our asset depletion loans, ground up construction bridge loans for fix and flip or fix and hold. We really run the gamut there in terms of loan product diversity. There's very little we can't do for real estate investors. So we're uniquely qualified in that space   Keith Weinhold  38:36   and you offer loans in nearly all 50 states. Now tell us more and how one can get a hold of your company. Yes, we are   Caeli Ridge  38:44   licensed in 49 states. The only state we're not licensed in residentially is New York. We can still do commercial there. But to reach us, you can find us on the web, Ridge lendinggroup.com you can email us info@ridgelendinggroup.com and feel free to call us at 855, 74 Ridge 855-747-4343,   Keith Weinhold  39:04   I'm so familiar with all those avenues because, again, that's where I get my own loans myself. Chaley Ridge has been valuable as always. Thanks so much for coming back onto the show.    Caeli Ridge  39:13   Thanks, Keith.   Keith Weinhold  39:21   A lot of experts believe that stripping Fannie and Freddie's public backing and taking them public, yeah, that that will increase mortgage rates. See, besides there being more risk, like we touched on there during the interview, Fannie and Freddie would face strong incentives to increase profitability, to make an IPO appealing to potential investors, that's just another reason that would probably increase mortgage rates. But if you're the type that truly champions free marketeerism, then the government would get out of Fannie and Freddie and let them IPO, and you would want. To see that happen now you as an investor, you probably resonate with the fact that rather than having to methodically and even painfully save money for your next property, instead you can just borrow funds, tax free, out of your existing property, and that way, you're using more of other people's money, the bank's money, in this case, and less of your own. Similarly, if you avoid aggressive principal pay down well, you would just retain those funds in the first place.

Please note that we experienced unidentified audio problems for this program including callers using our toll free line. We sincerely apologize for this unfortunate audio problem.In this space policy discussion, host David and guest Michael Listener, a space attorney, addressed recent developments including potential changes to COMSTACK, budget concerns, and the Trump administration's approach to commercial space through executive orders. They explored international competition with China, regulatory challenges for lunar nuclear power, and the philosophical differences between US and European space law approaches. The conversation also covered practical ways citizens can influence space policy, though both speakers acknowledged the difficulty of accessing decision-makers without connections or expensive lobbying efforts. I also reminded listeners that the show is a nonprofit needing support, we acknowledged our sponsors and provided instructions for donors to support us as we are a listener supported program.Our guest, Michael Listener, space attorney, discussed recent developments in space policy with us. Michael explained that the reported dismissal of COMSTAC was from an executive order issued by the Trump administration, suggesting it might be a better move to start with fresh membership rather than completely eliminating the committee. Michael noted that COMSTAC only offers recommendations and cannot make policy decisions. Regarding budget cuts for science and space programs, Michael believed the administration likely has legal grounds for overriding Congressional budget decisions, noting that such actions will probably be challenged in court.I asked Michael about China potentially reaching the moon before the US, emphasizing the importance of establishing precedent and rules in space. Michael said there might probably be a bipartisan "political feeding frenzy" in Congress if China beats the US to the moon, though he doubts this would lead to sustained focus on space given today's news cycles. Michael also expressed concern about the SLS rocket program being locked into law through the CHIPS Act, describing it as "expensive and really unsustainable." He noted significant philosophical differences between US and European approaches to space law, with Europeans favoring top-down regulations while the US prefers developing laws as activities evolve.I experienced technical difficulties with the toll free phone during a call with AJ. AJ talked about the allocation of funds in a bill, specifically whether Trump could accept only certain parts (4 and 5) but not others. Michael suggested that the money was likely already appropriated so they would be stuck with it.We discussed the Trump administration's interest in space, particularly commercial space, citing a recent executive order that aims to reduce regulation, simplify environmental reviews for spaceports, and elevate the office of commercial space to report directly to the Secretary of Transportation. Michael acknowledged that while space is a priority for the administration, they have many other pressing issues to handle. I also addresses a question about NASA leadership, stating that having a dedicated administrator would be more advantageous than an acting administrator who splits time between NASA and another agency. When asked about how ordinary citizens can influence space policy, Michael suggested contacting representatives directly or getting involved with an NGO.We further discussed the challenges of influencing policy, noting that it often requires connections to decision-makers or hiring expensive lobbyists. Michael said the he liked writing articles to gain attention, occasionally working with congressional offices, though with mixed results. When asked about anti-space program sentiment, Michael indicated that while there are people who believe space funding could be better spent elsewhere, this isn't an organized movement but rather a common belief. He observes that most people generally like space and enjoy rocket launches despite lacking detailed knowledge. Both thought there was some degree of a shift in public perception toward SpaceX and Elon Musk, with people now reacting negatively to SpaceX merchandise.I brought up the regulatory implications of placing a nuclear power plant on the moon, noting that while there are international protocols for nuclear power, there aren't many binding rules yet for space activities. We said that nuclear power was necessary for lunar installations since sunlight isn't available for about two weeks at a time on the Moon. Placing a reactor there may raise some questions about sovereignty and access restrictions. Michael clarified that environmental laws are designed for Earth's biosphere and don't extend to outer space, despite some environmentalists' attempts to apply them beyond Earth. He provided examples plus he briefly talked about when environmental assessments are required for space missions, specifically for launches with radioactive power sources and for missions returning materials to Earth.In closing, Michael discussed his interest in seeing if the National Space Council reconvenes plus he wants to see whether more space policies will come from the administration before year-end. He explained that executive orders are an efficient way to implement space policy compared to legislation, though they can be reversed by future administrations. When a caller asked about effective ways to communicate with policymakers, David and Michael acknowledge the difficulty of getting direct access to government officials, suggesting that messages to the White House website are likely only tabulated statistically rather than individually considered.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The Space Show presents Dr. A.J. Kothar via Zoom leading a discussion on how best to return & get infrastructure to the Moon. Tuesday, August 12, 2025Our discussion centered on Ajay Kothari's proposal to use multiple Falcon Heavy rockets for lunar missions as a cost-effective alternative to NASA's SLS and SpaceX's Starship. Kothari argued this method could be implemented within two years at an estimated cost of $400–600 million, and would avoid political pushback by serving as a complement rather than a replacement for existing programs. His plan involves docking multiple upper stages in low Earth orbit, then sending them to the Moon to land infrastructure payloads like nuclear power components. However, participants raised concerns over technical feasibility, payload delivery, landing mechanics, and cost estimates. By the way, do see Ajay's presentation which has been uploaded to our blog for this program.Phil presented Ajay's slides for the group to refer to during our program. Our continued discussion addressed leveraging current SLS/Orion infrastructure, despite general dissatisfaction with their limitations.Key technical concerns included the following by those in the Zoom meeting with Dr. Kothari:* Rick questioned the structural viability of connecting multiple upper stages, referencing challenges faced by Falcon Heavy.* Phil noted possible high costs and a lack of existing control systems.* Doug challenged Ajay's assumptions on Falcon Heavy's actual payload capabilities, prompting references to NASA's verified data.* Ajay explained his design accounts for partial reuse and optimized payload delivery, and he agreed to prepare a comparative metrics table for future presentations.Broader discussion shifted to Artemis program challenges, with skepticism from David and others about the realistic timeline and lack of cohesive leadership. Participants debated whether public-private partnerships, government direction, or commercial entrepreneurs like Musk and Bezos should lead space efforts. Ajay supported a hybrid approach, emphasizing infrastructure-building, not just symbolic landings.Additional topics includedThe strategic value of nuclear power (e.g., Kilopower project) for lunar manufacturing.* The importance of establishing infrastructure at the Moon's South Pole, including potential use of water ice as a fuel resource.* Phil's critique of NASA's over-reliance on commercialization.* Charles's belief that China will reach the Moon first, citing inconsistent U.S. program management.* The program concluded with debate over the realistic date for returning humans to the Moon, with predictions ranging from 2028–2029, and acknowledgments that China's progress may influence U.S. urgency.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The ten-day Artemis II mission will test NASA's deep space human exploration capabilities with astronauts.

The program focused on Ajay Kothari's proposal to use multiple Falcon Heavy rockets instead of Starship or SLS for lunar missions, which he argued would be more cost-effective and implementable within two years despite technical challenges raised by other participants. The group discussed broader concerns about the Artemis program's leadership, timeline feasibility, and competition with China's lunar ambitions, with some members expressing skepticism about returning to the moon while others emphasized the importance of establishing infrastructure like nuclear power systems. The conversation ended with participants debating when humans would actually return to the moon, with estimates ranging from 2028-2029, and David announcing upcoming shows including Hotel Mars and an appearance on Coast to Coast.

Hotel Mars with Rand Simberg, August 6, 2025John and I, with our guest Rand Simberg, focused this one segment Hotel Mars program on the role of commercial space with regards to our effort to return to the Moon. Rand Simberg explainrd that while NASA's Artemis program includes public-private partnerships with SpaceX and Blue Origin, Congress has been requiring the use of the Space Launch System (SLS) for the past 15 years to maintain jobs and workforce. Rand noted that the SLS program faces significant costs, with each Artemis launch averaging $30 billion. The Administration recommended ending the program after 2 more flights but Congress funded 3 additional flights plus associated hardware and infrastructure in the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill.We expressed concerns about the U.S. losing the moon race to China due to the current focus on the Space Launch System (SLS), which Rand believed is not sustainable. He suggested that the money spent on SLS could be redirected to more innovative and affordable space transportation solutions. David also noted that the NASA administrator position remains unfilled, which he sees as a potential obstacle to advancing space exploration goals.Before ending our program, Rand discussed the challenges and progress of human lunar lander development, comparing SpaceX and Blue Origin's capabilities. He noted that SpaceX is developing a larger lunar lander but faces uncertainty about refueling on orbit, while Blue Origin's timeline extends to 2030. Rand expressed confidence in SpaceX's ability to make rapid progress once they successfully launch their new version into orbit, addressing concerns about refueling.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Mark Whittington on Tuesday, 7-29-25I introduced Mark, who discussed the current turmoil at NASA, describing the agency as "rudderless" due to the stalled nomination of billionaire Jared Isaacman as Administrator. Isaacman, known for funding private missions like Inspiration 4, was nominated by Donald Trump and had garnered bipartisan support, including backing from former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. However, his nomination unraveled after a post on Truth Social falsely labeled him a Democrat and criticized his connection to Elon Musk. Influenced by low-level staffer Sergio Gor—reportedly motivated by personal grievances—Trump withdrew his support. As a result, the nomination collapsed, and NASA remains without permanent leadership. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is currently serving as interim Administrator while also handling his existing responsibilities. Mark talked about Sean so don't miss his commentary on this subject.Mark talked about NASA facing significant budget cuts and internal conflict over long-term strategy. Mark mentioned the administration Artemis plans, potential commercial alternatives and the fact Congress is fighting to maintain SLS, Gateway, and more of the original NASA funding. Mark then delved into how personal and political tensions are derailing progress in U.S. space policy. Our mentioned the feud with Musk and Trump. In addition, Mark talked about how the administration's Sergio Gor appears to have played a key role in shaping Trump's negative stance toward both Musk and Isaacman, reportedly out of personal jealousy. Our guest said that these internal feuds underscore how politics—rather than merit—are influencing critical space policy decisions.More was said about Artemis and any program timelines, especially getting back to the Moon by 2028. Mark mentioned China targeting a lunar landing by 2030, which could undermine the U.S. space legacy if successful. As for lunar human landers, Mark discussed both the SpaceX effort and the Blue Origin effort as to which lander will be ready first. Our guest reported rumors suggesting SpaceX may be developing a scaled-down, crew-only version of Starship in response to mission complexity and reliability concerns. If SpaceX continues to struggle with full-scale Starship, NASA may pivot to Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander, which appears to have a more manageable development path in the near term.The proposed Golden Dome missile defense initiative became a topic of discussion. Our guest said it would depend heavily on commercial space providers for deployment. Companies such as Rocket Lab, United Launch Alliance (ULA), and Blue Origin stand to benefit from potential launch contracts. The project evokes comparisons to Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, fueled by rising geopolitical tensions and incorporating AI-based targeting systems. A caller raises concerns about the unchecked expansion of satellite constellations like Starlink, Amazon's Kuiper, and similar efforts from China and Europe. I noted that regulation remains minimal, and key issues—including satellite collisions, space debris, light pollution, and traffic management—are largely unaddressed. While international treaties exist, enforcement is weak. Mark pointed out the risks and that meaningful regulation may only come after a major incident.I asked Mark about the growing interest in space-related IPOs and SPACs, with companies like Firefly and Redwire gaining attention. However, caution was urged with Mark warning that the sector may be in a speculative bubble reminiscent of the dot-com or AI booms. He predicted a “winnowing out” where only the strongest companies survive and advises listeners to consult financial experts rather than invest based on hype.Mark was asked about his previous reporting of SpaceX working on a new line of autonomous, reentry-capable space capsules designed for orbital manufacturing and research. These capsules would operate independently in low-Earth orbit and return high-value products, such as microchips, to Earth. Launched via Starship, they could offer cheaper, crewless alternatives to space stations, with the added benefit of protecting intellectual property. SpaceX hopes to begin operations by 2030. The new company effort is named Starfall.Mark reported a CBS poll showing public interest in lunar and Martian missions is growing across all age groups, with the strongest support coming from younger generations. Livingston and Mark envision immersive experiences for future missions, including virtual reality feeds from astronaut helmets and live Zoom sessions with schoolchildren—potentially turning lunar exploration into a highly engaging and educational global event.As we were approaching the end of the program, I asked Mark about NOAA cuts. Mark was critical of proposed funding cuts to NOAA, particularly during hurricane season when weather forecasting is most critical. He views the cuts as shortsighted and part of a broader rollback of climate-related policies, such as the decision to stop classifying CO₂ as a pollutant. While he supports continued climate monitoring, he is skeptical of some regulatory changes—such as updated HVAC refrigerant rules—that impose high costs on consumers, especially in warmer states.Mark said he is writing a new book titled How We Got Back to the Moon, documenting the political and programmatic shifts driving the Artemis program. He argues that past delays were primarily due to politics and poor messaging rather than technological limitations. He supports maintaining the Wolf Amendment, which prohibits NASA-China cooperation, and sees bipartisan momentum around commercial space partnerships as a positive sign. Still, he emphasized that sustainable lunar efforts will require clear goals, stable leadership, and long-term investment.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

The Space Show Advisory Board discusses NASA budget and mission cuts plus policy via Zoom on Sunday, July 27, 2025.The Space Show Advisory Board meeting centered on NASA's proposed budget cuts and the ongoing appropriations process in Congress. Bill Gowan outlined the current situation: while the President's budget proposes a 24% overall cut to NASA—including a 47% reduction to the Science Mission Directorate—Congress appears inclined to preserve NASA's funding. The Senate has approved a $24.9 billion budget, including $7.3 billion for the Science Mission Directorate. However, the House has yet to finalize its version, and the fiscal year may begin under a continuing resolution.We began with a discussion of NASA's budget, with Bill noting that congressional recess prevents staff from working on reconciling the House and Senate versions until both are finalized. David emphasized the importance of keeping political commentary separate from the show. A broader fiscal concern was then raised: federal spending exceeds revenue by 37%, and national debt has reached 121% of GDP. This led to debate over whether NASA's budget should be cut, with Bob Zimmerman arguing for greater efficiency rather than larger budgets. Others suggested targeting cuts to specific programs, such as Artemis 4 and 5.Dr. AJ Kothari discussed his upcoming meeting with Republican leader Caroline Levitt to oppose the Trump administration's proposed Mars landing timeline for 2028, citing the risk of mission failure and reputational damage. He also mentioned attempts to schedule a meeting with a Space and Science Committee staffer to discuss budget allocation and the feasibility of a lunar research station by 2028. AJ invited others—particularly those near Washington, D.C.—to join either in person or via video conference. David reiterated the need to keep TSS nonpartisan in its discussions.Concerns were raised about NASA's transitional plans for SLS and human spaceflight, particularly the possibility of scientific programs being defunded while legacy systems remain supported. The potential impact of China's lunar missions on America's space leadership was also mentioned. Some noted a disconnect between the industry's optimistic tone at conferences and the more critical assessments voiced by Advisory Board participants. David highlighted this contrast by sharing insights from his recent attendance at the AIAA ASCEND conference in Las Vegas. I commented that our views seemed to represent minority positions in contrast to powerful aerospace and defense lobbying efforts. I encourage listeners to hear my full remarks for full context.The discussion turned to the evolving space landscape, especially how SpaceX's Starship and Starlink revenues might soon surpass NASA's budget, potentially reshaping space policy. Some expressed concern about overreliance on commercial providers and advocated for a balanced public-private model. Participants also reflected on past policy shifts, including regulatory changes under the Trump administration and the recent appointment of Sean Duffy as NASA Administrator, which many saw as a signal of support for increased private sector engagement. Several expressed concern that Jared Isaacman should be included in NASA planning and policy discussions.The group discussed potential budget cuts, identifying programs such as the Exploration Upper Stage, Artemis 2 and 3, Mars Sample Return, and Gateway as areas where cuts could yield approximately $6 billion in savings. The SLS program came under scrutiny for its high costs, with suggestions that commercial alternatives may be more viable. Lurio stressed the value of strong public-private partnerships and emphasized a sustainable approach to lunar exploration over competition with China. John Hunt noted that even eliminating NASA's entire budget would have minimal impact on the national deficit.Midway through the program, Dr. Doug Plata proposed an informal vote on the future of several major space programs, including SLS, Orion, and Mars Sample Return. Participants voted via a show of hands, and Doug posted the results on our Space Show blog for the July 27, 2025 program. Please visit www.thespaceshow.com or our Substack page at doctorspace.substack.com to view the poll and share your feedback, which is important in shaping future Advisory Board programs.As the program neared its conclusion, participants voiced strong support for AI integration in the space sector, particularly for its value in advocacy and policy influence. The conversation returned briefly to the ASCEND conference, with Dr. Sherry Bell commending the sincerity of those advocating for missions—even ones not aligned with current news or advisory board opinions.In the final minutes, we returned to the issue of NASA's budget and its alignment with the President's proposed 24% cut. I brought up the National Space Council (NSC), prompting brief discussion. Most participants were skeptical of the NSC's current effectiveness and questioned the Vice President's engagement with space issues. Several advocated for grassroots lobbying to make our views heard by the administration. We closed by exploring how to advocate for strategic budget cuts while preserving essential NASA programs.

Our program with guest Jim Muncy covered NASA's current leadership situation and workforce challenges, including discussions about temporary administrators, potential job losses, and changes in federal government staffing policies. The conversation explored NASA's budget situation and space exploration priorities, with particular focus on the Appropriation Bill for Commerce, Justice, and Science, as well as the challenges posed by political divisions in Congress. Also discussed was the aging NASA workforce, modernization of engineering, and the need for younger innovative engineering and science. The discussion concluded with an examination of the commercial space industry's evolution and NASA's transition to new approaches for space exploration, emphasizing the need for effective leadership communication and bipartisanship in space policy.Jim Muncy discussed NASA's current leadership situation, explaining that NASA has had a temporary administrator since January and that Jarod Isaacman was nominated but not yet confirmed as administrator. He highlighted Jackie Jester's role as an excellent leader in legislative affairs and deputy chief of staff, noting her previous experience with Relativity and the Senate Commerce Committee. Jim also mentioned that NASA is currently dealing with uncertainty around 2,100 potential job losses, though he did not elaborate on this point other than pointing out the aging workforce and why plus the need for innovative engineering and science to be competitive with the private sector.Jim did spend time discussing the proposed changes in federal government staffing under the current administration, noting a reduction in the overall number of employees. He explained the implementation of a deferred retirement program that allows employees to announce their resignation in March, work remotely until September, and then officially retire. Jim also mentioned the administration's requirement for federal employees to return to in-office work, which has been met with resistance from some employees who had become accustomed to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our guest highlighted these NASA workforce challenges, noting that many employees are eligible for retirement and the agency has traditionally attracted long-term workers. He emphasized the contrast between NASA's older, more static workforce and the younger, more diverse nature of commercial industry, explaining that the Trump administration has shifted away from specific diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, resulting in some staff reductions. He suggested that changes in program priorities and funding may lead to some employees leaving NASA, but he did not anticipate mass departures or the closure of NASA centers.Jim mentioned the leadership changes at NASA, noting that Secretary Duffy was appointed as the interim administrator to provide political direction, while Janet Petro previously served as the acting administrator focusing on executive orders. He predicted that a new associate administrator would soon be named to serve as a general manager and oversee the implementation of the President's and Secretary's directives into actual programs. Jim expressed optimism about the shift towards an economic focus for space exploration, suggesting that someone with expertise in public-private partnerships would be ideal for the associate administrator role. He also explained the current tension between the executive and legislative branches regarding budget allocation and implementation, emphasizing the administration's belief in the executive branch's authority to manage day-to-day operations without significant legislative interference.Concerning the budget and Congress, the Appropriation Bill for Commerce, Justice, and Science stood out noting that NASA funding was planned on being maintained at last year's levels despite initial concerns about a 24.3% cut. Muncy expressed approval of the administration's approach to space exploration, which integrates human spaceflight and robotic missions, allowing for common hardware and technology across missions. Our guest criticized JPL's lack of innovation in the Mars sample return project, suggesting alternative methods and emphasizing the need for a more integrated and cost-effective approach to space exploration.Jim continued focusing on the challenges NASA faces due to political divisions in Congress, predicting a likely continuing resolution instead of a normal appropriation process. He suggested that the administration might prioritize a 4th Artemis mission using SLS without the Exploration Upper Stage and utilize existing gateway elements in a restructured approach combining commercial LEO destinations. Muncy also mentioned the possibility of using a 5-meter Centaur upper stage to replace the interim boosters and proposed a compromise where one additional SLS flight could be funded alongside commercial and space science initiatives. He emphasized that under a continuing resolution, NASA may terminate programs not prioritized by the administration, and he expressed a preference for increased funding in planetary science, lunar exploration, and astrophysics.Jim emphasized the need to transition NASA's focus from an unsustainable to an affordable and sustainable architecture for human exploration, aiming to make the moon part of Earth's economy. He suggested reducing unnecessary fixed costs and increasing public-private partnerships, commercial activities, and research in areas like mining and life support systems. In addition, he highlighted the importance of lowering the cost of keeping people alive and productive in space, enabling more economic and scientific experiments. He proposed setting clear metrics, such as the number of people living and working in space, to measure NASA's success and drive down costs further.When I asked Jim the path forward in implementing what Jim wanted as a space program, he discussed the Space Frontier Foundation's mission to promote the idea of space as a frontier for humanity, emphasizing that it is a place with unique resources like unfiltered solar energy and microgravity. He contrasted this view with the government's approach, which he sees as a program focused on national security and economic benefits. Muncy did introduce a third perspective, viewing space as an industry, which he sees as a transitional stage between government-led programs and a fully developed space economy.We discussed the evolution of the commercial space industry, highlighting its growth and competition since 2005. Our guest noted the success of multiple U.S. launch companies and the shift from a government monopoly to a competitive market, expressing hope that the current administration would support this vibrant industry, comparing it to the real estate industry in New York. He also addressed the need for congressional approval and suggested explaining the vision to both Congress and their constituents. Jim did emphasize that the industry has come a long way since 2009-2010, when there was only one operational commercial launch provider.Nearing the close of the program and in the form of a brief summary, Jim discussed the evolution of the commercial crew program and NASA's transition to new approaches for space exploration, emphasizing the need for leadership to communicate these changes effectively to Congress and the public. He highlighted the importance of selecting a change-oriented NASA administrator and suggested that former administrator Jarod Isaacman could play a key role in advocating for these shifts. He expressed cautious optimism about the current administration's space policy, noting potential improvements in commercial partnerships and licensing reform, while acknowledging that progress may be slower than desired. Jim also touched on the need for bipartisanship in space policy and criticized the lack of constructive dialogue on NASA's budget, urging a more balanced discussion of its merits and flaws.Note that Jim received two detailed and lengthy listener phone calls, one from John Hunt and the other from Dr. Kothari We also we received several email listener questions and comments. Artemis, SLS, Orion were additional topics discussed as was the use of Falcon Heavy to get us to the Moon faster and cheaper.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Meeting SummaryThe main portion of the meeting focused on space policy and technology, including debates about SpaceX's role in the U.S. space program, the feasibility of reusable rocket technology, and comparisons between U.S. and Chinese space capabilities. The discussion concluded with conversations about NASA's future, recent rocket nozzle issues, and Relativity Space's new leadership, with participants exploring a range of strategic and technical considerations for the future of the space industry.I introduced our Tuesday evening guest, Robert (Bob) Zimmerman, who noted the 15th anniversary of his website Behind the Black and encouraged listeners to support it through donations. Our discussion began by examining the ongoing tension between President Trump and Elon Musk regarding the BBB (Build Back Better) initiative. Bob expressed concern that the emotional and irrational nature of this debate could harm the American space program, which heavily relies on SpaceX. He emphasized the need for rational budget discussions and entertained the idea of a new political party. He also pointed out that Musk's Starship program might continue even without government funding, thanks to revenue from Starlink.The conversation then shifted to the feasibility of reusable rocket technology. Bob recounted how a physicist in 2013 had claimed orbital reuse was physically impossible—something Musk has since disproven. A back-and-forth discussion with several attendees explored the technical and economic implications of reusable systems.Phil and Bob discussed the difficulty of having rational conversations about budget cuts and program funding in today's polarized political environment. Bob contrasted SpaceX's fast-paced innovation under Elon Musk with Blue Origin's slower progress under Jeff Bezos. Marshall inquired about SpaceX's launch timeline, and Bob acknowledged Musk's aggressive goals but also noted potential delays, especially following the recent Starship test failure. Doug raised concerns about payload capacity for Mars missions, prompting Bob to describe Musk's iterative approach to achieving long-term goals.The Zoom discussion with Bob eventually focused on the capabilities and limitations of SpaceX's Starship, especially for lunar and Mars missions. Dr. Doug, Ajay, Phil, and Bob shared calculations suggesting Starship would require 10 to 40 in-orbit refueling operations to complete these missions. Bob emphasized that Starship's reusability and potential for mass production fundamentally change the cost and risk models compared to expendable rockets. Ajay suggested that Falcon Heavy might offer a faster and more cost-effective path to human-rated lunar missions. I eventually directed the discussion to a new topic.Bob criticized the U.S. space program's focus on beating China back to the Moon with a “flags and footsteps” approach reminiscent of Apollo. Instead, he advocated for a long-term strategy emphasizing infrastructure development and cargo missions, supporting Dr. Kothari's proposal of using Falcon Heavy as a cost-effective alternative to the SLS. Participants largely agreed that fostering a diverse space industry involving multiple private companies would be more sustainable than a single government-led mission. Dr. Kothari, however, stressed the urgency of staying competitive with China's growing lunar ambitions.The group compared the strengths and weaknesses of U.S. and Chinese space efforts. Bob praised the U.S. model of private enterprise, contrasting it with China's centralized, government-led approach. David expressed skepticism about NASA's Artemis program, while Phil suggested that Chinese advances might serve as a wake-up call to U.S. complacency.Later, Retired Lt. General Steve Kwast was mentioned as a potential NASA administrator. David noted his strong support for commercial space and his national security perspective. This led to a broader conversation about NASA's future. Rick expressed concern that budget cuts could weaken NASA, even suggesting a potential merger with the Space Force. Bob countered that NASA's budget hadn't been slashed as severely as feared and reiterated the importance of private-sector leadership, drawing historical parallels to pre-WWII science funding. The role of the National Space Council was also discussed, with Bob expressing skepticism based on past experience. Attendees agreed on the need for a balanced public-private approach to space exploration.Toward the end of the meeting, Bob brought up recent rocket nozzle issues, highlighting two concerning incidents: a Vulcan rocket nozzle detaching during launch, and a static fire test failure of an SLS solid rocket booster. He questioned whether these failures pointed to systemic problems at Northrop Grumman. The conversation also touched on ULA's potential sale, which Bob noted had drawn no interest after Vulcan's second launch. A question about sabotage was raised, but Bob dismissed it as speculative, noting no credible evidence and pointing instead to the importance of internal quality control.Bob elaborated that sabotage concerns were rare in the U.S. space sector, crediting companies like SpaceX for maintaining strict performance standards by quickly addressing internal issues. He praised innovative company cultures that encourage creativity and problem-solving. Phil and David voiced concerns about waning public interest in space. Bob attributed this to educational shortcomings and the lack of competitive media. He concluded that both freedom and competition are essential for revitalizing education, media, and public engagement with space exploration.As the program wrapped up, Bob brought attention to Relativity Space's new CEO, Eric Schmidt, and his ambitious plans for the company. There was speculation about Schmidt potentially launching data centers in space, drawing parallels to Musk's Starlink initiative. Bob noted that Relativity has shifted its focus from solely 3D-printing rockets to pursuing the most efficient paths to space access.We concluded by thanking Bob and all participants for the engaging discussion and wished everyone a great July 4th holiday weekend.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.
