History Flakes - The Berlin History Podcast

This episode we dive into the ins and outs of Wernher von Braun's wartime credentials, before the Americans would be faced with the decision of whether or not his file needed a paperclip to begin with. (It did!) Contrasting heavily from last episode's Klaus Fuchs, we look at someone whose humanity always came second to his ambition as a scientist in Nazi Germany, and contextualise his role into the broader scope of the Nazi concentration camp system. Who were some of the more sinister characters he met along the way? What did the Summer of 1945 look like for him and his fellow engineers as the Third Reich crumbled around them?++++++

Since the start of the Space Age, we’ve learned a lot about the other planets of the solar system. But perhaps we’ve learned the most about Venus. That’s a bit of a surprise when you consider that Venus passes closer to Earth than any other planet. Venus is the brilliant “morning star.” It lines up close to the crescent Moon before dawn the next couple of days. Venus looks so bright in part because it’s blanketed by clouds that hide the surface. And that’s the main reason we’ve had so much to learn about the planet. Without any landmarks to go by, astronomers couldn’t even tell the length of the planet’s day. They didn’t figure it out until the early 1960s. They used radio telescopes to bounce waves off the surface. The echoes revealed that a day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days. For a long time, scientists thought the clouds were made of water vapor, just like the clouds on Earth. That led to speculation that Venus was warm and wet, with giant oceans and dense jungles. Instead, the clouds are made of sulfuric acid. And they hide a surface that’s hot enough to melt lead, with not a drop of water. Today, planetary scientists are still learning about Venus. It appears to be volcanically active, for example – perhaps one of the most active worlds in the solar system. So, many more surprises could lurk below the clouds of our brilliant neighbor.

“I had to find that niche, that core community of people who were trying to solve the same problems that I was and who were passionate about the solution. But if I hadn't found that, I think it would be tough to try to keep promoting your product and your brand without actually knowing where it fits.” —Belinda Lau    Every toothpaste tube and toothbrush we've ever used might still be existing somewhere on this planet! Plastic dental care products are silent environmental destroyers, with each toothbrush lingering for about 500 years in landfills and oceans.  Belinda Lau, a biomedical engineer with 15 years in medical device innovation, co-founded Elims with her dentist husband to transform oral care through sustainable, science-backed products. Motivated by the environmental impact of traditional dental care and her background in medical technology, she developed a breakthrough toothpaste using nano-hydroxyapatite that delivers clinical effectiveness while dramatically reducing plastic waste. Tune in as Justine and Belinda explore NASA's nano hydroxyapatite technology, sustainable oral care packaging, TerraCycle's recycling innovation, clean ingredient alternatives to fluoride, bootstrapping a CPG business, growing business as a couple, flavor development strategies, dental professional insights, plus much more.

In this episode, I talk with Ankh West, a science advocate who focuses on scientific literacy within the African-American community. Science, he explains, can be a tool for promoting rigorous academic standards within institutions. He talks about the importance of peer-reviewed scholarship, archaeological data, and linguistic research. Among his primary focuses of research are ancient Egypt, Nubia, and Nile Valley civilizations. He discusses in some depth the work of Charles Darwin and other major figures in the field, as well as Africa's early influence on what we now recognize as modern science. Lastly, Ankh shares some of the books that shaped his thought and why he considers those books to be still valid and important today.

Slatkin has started a nonprofit to not only further Goddard's legacy, but also to inspire young people, who he calls "today's Goddards," to reach for the stars. Hear this inspiring story on this episode of This Week in Space! Headliines Soviet Venus Probe Re-entry: The Soviet Union's Cosmos 42 Venus probe, launched in 1972, is set to re-enter Earth's atmosphere after failing to reach Venus. Due to its design for landing on Venus, there's a possibility some or much of it may survive re-entry.

Despite facing mockery and failures, his perseverance and ingenuity paved the way for modern space exploration.

His efforts to save Goddard's house from destruction and his involvement in the Goddard Centennial highlight his dedication to preserving Goddard's legacy. Goddard House Restoration: Slatkin bought Goddard's house and is restoring it into a museum, library, and resource center, with plans to house a student caretaker. Goddard's Rocketry Breakthrough: Goddard's shift to liquid-fueled rockets was revolutionary, overcoming the limitations of solid propellants and paving the way for modern rocketry.

In this episode of All Things Policy, Ashwin Prasad and Aishwaria Sonavane discuss satellite internet. We live in a hyper-connected world, and satellite internet mega constellations are the next leap. Thousands of Low-Earth Orbit satellites are working together to beam internet globally, representing a massive infrastructure and space tech innovation. This technology holds immense potential for military strategy and economic growth, but its dual-use nature also presents security and regulatory challenges that demand our attention.To understand the power and implications of satellite internet – whether for use, investment, or governance – it's crucial to grasp its fundamentals. My latest paper, the first in a series, explains precisely how this technology works and its current applications.
