The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which was intended to regulate activities in space, is hard to enforce and woefully out of date. New nations and private actors are entering the spaceflight arena, and an updated mechanism with a bit more teeth is needed. Our guest, Ely Sandler, a Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, has put forward the idea of using COPs—not the kind in uniform, but a Conference of Parties—as a less-formal gathering of spacefaring (and space-ambitious) entities, to discuss future treaties, agreements, and enforcement mechanisms, eventually leading to new treaties. These would be similar to the annual climate COP that has provided useful discourse on climate change. A space COP would address responsibility for and control of orbital assets, land and resource use on the Moon, Mars, and asteroids; and possibly limits to the militarization of space.

First up with Jennie Erin Smith, Science's new senior biomedicine reporter, we delve into: autobrewery syndrome, when microbes inside the human gut make too much alcohol; how doctors can use a public repository, the Mexican Biobank, to guide patient care; and preliminary findings that surgery on the brain's plumbing shows promise for Alzheimer's disease. Next on the show, it's tough to calculate when and where deorbiting spacecraft might enter the upper atmosphere and then eventually hit the ground. Benjamin Fernando, a seismologist and planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University, has shown that sonic booms created by fast-moving space debris shake seismic sensors, giving clues to angle of re-entry, breakup dynamics, and final location.

Recently, a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 en route from Denver to Los Angeles was forced to make an emergency landing in Salt Lake City after colliding with an unidentified object over Utah. The impact shattered the cockpit windshield, injuring one of the pilots and prompting the crew to announce that the aircraft had “collided with an object.” Early investigations seem to rule out space debris or meteors, and while investigators continue working to resolve the situation, a potential break in this unusual case may have now revealed what actually happened.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the unnerving incident, along with the issue of potential dangers that unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) may represent to pilots, with a look at historic cases and similar incidents where possible collisions with unknown objects may have imperiled aircraft.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

From the challenges of Kessler Syndrome to the mysteries surrounding black holes, this episode is a treasure trove of insights that will ignite your curiosity about the cosmos.Episode Highlights:- Kessler Syndrome and Space Debris: The episode kicks off with a question from Greg in Minnesota about the potential dangers of Kessler Syndrome and what measures are being taken to mitigate space debris. Fred explains the growing issue of orbital congestion and the importance of ensuring that spacecraft can be deorbited safely to prevent catastrophic collisions in space.- The Thickness of Venus's Atmosphere: Greg's second question prompts a fascinating discussion about why Venus has such a dense atmosphere. Fred delves into the composition of Venus's atmosphere and compares it to Earth's, exploring the unique conditions that allow it to hold such a thick layer of gases.- Stars, Black Holes, and Planetary Formation: The hosts then address an audio question from young Henrique, who is curious about the relationship between stars and black holes. Fred explains the delicate balance of forces that allow stars to exist and how massive stars can ultimately collapse into black holes, along with the possibility of planets existing around these enigmatic objects.- Density Comparisons: Protons vs. Black Holes: The episode wraps up with a question from East Hawk regarding the density of black holes compared to protons. Fred clarifies the calculations involved and discusses the concept of density in the context of black holes, revealing the extraordinary nature of these cosmic phenomena.For more Space Nuts, including our continuously updating newsfeed and to listen to all our episodes, visit our website. Follow us on social media at SpaceNutsPod on Facebook, X, YouTube Music Music, Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

U.S. officials are turning their attention to a pressing problem in space. Not asteroids crashing into earth, but something else: space debris.Thousands of satellites have been launched into space because our modern life depends on them. There are about 10,000 active satellites in low earth orbit right now. But as more and more of them go up, space is getting crowded.And where there's crowds, there's waste. Millions of pieces of space debris are circling Earth right now. There are big pieces — everything from dead satellites to spent rocket stages. And tiny ones like blots and paint flecks. But they're all whizzing around at speeds that can be faster than a speeding bullet.We team up with our friends at the Click Here podcast to take a look at the problem of space debris.

In Earth's orbit, there are millions of debris objects that pose a collision risk for satellites and space stations. If left unchecked, the situation could lead to a cascading effect known as Kessler Syndrome. While space agencies worldwide track and monitor objects in orbit to prevent collisions, strategies for active debris removal are needed and many are being researched.

Their new President and CEO, Dr. Elsayed Talaat, joins us to discuss the association's long history, educational and industry affiliations, and perhaps most impressively, their vast areas of research. If it's space, cutting-edge, and cool, the USRA is probably engaged. Join us for this fascinating look at one of the best education and research facilitators anywhere--the USRA. Headlines: • Astronomers mistakenly identified Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster as an asteroid, highlighting the challenges of tracking an increasing number of objects in space • AstroForge, a space mining company, announced their target asteroid for a mission launching next month, following calls for increased transparency from the scientific community • SpaceX is completing construction on their fifth and final Crew Dragon capsule, as the current fleet is expected to meet NASA's needs until Starship becomes operational • A newly discovered asteroid, 2024 YR4, has a small chance (1 in 83) of impacting Earth in 2032; NASA emphasizes that an impact is highly unlikely but will continue to track the object and refine the trajectory plot Main Topic - All the Way with the USRA: • The USRA was founded in 1969 to connect universities with NASA projects, particularly for lunar sample research during the Apollo era • The organization has since expanded to cover a wide range of space-related research areas, including astrophysics, heliophysics, Earth science, space nuclear propulsion, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and microgravity science • The USRA plays a key role in workforce development by providing internship and scholarship opportunities for students interested in space research • The organization has a consortium of 121 member universities worldwide, which helps guide USRA's research focus and advocate for the interests of the academic space research community • The USRA's funding primarily comes from competitively awarded NASA contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements, as well as some funding from the Department of Defense and Department of Energy • President and CEO Dr. Talaat emphasizes the importance of collaboration and cross-disciplinary research in advancing space science and technology • The USRA's Lunar and Planetary Institute has been a key player in lunar research and exploration since the Apollo era, and continues to offer internship programs to inspire and train the next generation of space scientists • Dr. Talaat highlights the critical role of space weather research in protecting technological infrastructure and ensuring the safety of astronauts and pilots • He encourages young people to get involved in space research, emphasizing the excitement of scientific discovery and the real-world applications that benefit society Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Dr. Elsayed R.
