The discussion also delves into the geopolitical landscape shaped by extraterrestrial technology, the secret space programs of various nations, and the mysterious activities occurring in Antarctica. Finally, Dr. Salla introduces the concept of space arks, ancient vessels designed to preserve humanity during cataclysmic events. In this conversation, Dr. Michael Salla discusses the historical and contemporary implications of extraterrestrial influences on Earth, particularly focusing on the Anunnaki and their genetic experiments. He explores the future of Mars colonization, the role of the German space program, and the potential for advanced technologies to revolutionize space travel.Dr.Michael E. Salla, is a pioneer in the development of ‘Exopolitics', the political study of the key actors, institutions and processes associated with extraterrestrial life. His interest in exopolitics evolved out of his investigation of the sources of international conflict and its relationship to an extraterrestrial presence that is not acknowledged to the general public, elected officials or even senior military officials. Dr Salla's groundbreaking Exopolitics: Political Implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence (2004) was the first published book on exopolitics and explained the political implications of extraterrestrial life.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Michael Salla Intro02:19 - What Needs to Be Let Loose?02:55 - Face-to-Face ET Contact & Hidden Truths05:36 - Taking the Red Pill on Disclosure08:50 - The Hidden World of Black Budget Programs10:14 - Suppressed Technologies & Government Secrets13:14 - 6,500 Classified Patents & Breakthrough Tech15:45 - Non-Human Influence on Inventions16:26 - DNA, Consciousness & ET Technology20:37 - Global Competition for Extraterrestrial Tech21:20 - The US Leads in Reverse Engineering27:24 - Secret Space Programs & Their Influence34:40 - Antarctica's Hidden Bases & Secrets40:51 - Where Do Governments Meet with ETs?43:43 - Space Arks & Humanity's Evolution49:20 - Were the Sumerians Influenced by ETs?52:26 - What Will Elon Musk's Mars Mission Reveal?56:08 - The Germans' Secret Colonization of Mars1:00:01 - Hidden in Plain Sight: Truth in Hollywood1:07:25 - The Galactic Federation's Role in Space Expansion1:08:13 - How Close Are We to an Interplanetary Civilization?1:14:43 - Space Exploration & Healing Technologies1:18:42 - Transhumanism & What We Must Protect1:19:29 - AI vs. The Human Soul1:24:12 - The Heart's Connection to the Soul1:28:36 - How Political Science Prepared Dr. Salla for Exopolitics1:30:13 - What Leads to a Smooth Disclosure Timeline?1:31:23 - Time Capsule Question___________________Guest: Dr Michael Salla✦ Website | https://exopolitics.org/✦ X | https://x.com/michaelsalla ✦ Shop Dr Salla's Books | https://exopolitics.org/books/✦ YouTube | ‪@MichaelSalla‬ Host: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG |   / iamemilioortiz  ✦ Subscribe to Channel |    / emilioortiz  ✦ Watch Emilio's latest series on 4biddenknowledge TV l https://bit.ly/AwakenThe6thSense___________________© 2025 Emilio Ortiz.

The search for life beyond Earth is no longer science fiction—it takes a lot of data, powerful telescopes and a bit of cosmic detective work. And at the center of this search is University of Chicago astrophysicist Jacob Bean. Bean was part of the team that made history by detecting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a distant planet using the James Webb Space Telescope—a major step forward in our ability to study exoplanets.Bean uses cutting-edge tools and discoveries that are reshaping how we think about planet habitability, biosignatures and our place in the universe. From potentially habitable exoplanets like K2-18b to false hopes like Gliese 486b, Bean shares why the atmospheres of these faraway worlds might hold the key to one of humanity's oldest questions: Are we alone in the universe?

Welcome to episode #983 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Matthew Weinzierl is not just thinking about the future of the economy - he's thinking about the economy of the final frontier. As a professor at Harvard Business School and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, Matt brings the analytical rigor of economic policy to a space sector that's shifting from sci-fi to IPO. In our conversation, we unpack the big thesis behind his new book Space To Grow - Unlocking The Final Economic Frontier(co-authored with Mehak Sarang Rousseau), which reframes space as something more than spectacle or science - it's a place where real economic value is being created right now. This isn't about day trips to orbit or Mars hotels (not yet). It's about the role of market forces, national security, broadband access, sustainability, microgravity manufacturing, and the essential debate between centralized control and decentralized innovation. Matt has built a career studying tax policy and the philosophical underpinnings of economic systems, and now he's applying that lens to a commercial space industry that's still defining its rules. We talk about SpaceX's dominance and what it means for competition, the outdated frameworks of international space law, and why economists are uniquely suited to help structure the future of space activity. We also explore the symbolic and practical value of human exploration, and how figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos shape the public's understanding of what's possible (and what might be hype). What makes Matt so compelling is his clarity... he doesn't get swept up in the cosmic dreams without asking who benefits, who governs, and what kind of economic system we're building in orbit and beyond. If you've been curious about the real forces shaping the space economy - and what it might mean for Earth - this episode is a must-listen. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 58:47.

As an astronaut, Carl is a veteran of four spaceflights, logging a total of 231 days in outer space and performing three spacewalks during that time.A physicist by training, with degrees from Kent State and John Carroll University, Carl made his way to NASA via the Air Force, where he served as a flight test engineer and managed all engineering activities related to F-16 avionics and armaments.At NASA, he was a mission specialist on STS-51 in 1993, an orbiter flight engineer on STS-65 in 1994, a mission specialist on STS-79 in 1996, and ultimately served 196 days in space as a flight engineer on ISS Expedition Four from 2001 to 2002.His expansive career at NASA includes missions aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station (ISS). Most notably, Carl served as a flight engineer for ISS Expedition Four, living and working in space for 196 consecutive days. Later, as Director for the Advanced Capabilities Division at NASA Headquarters, Carl led critical programs involving Human Research, Technology Development, and Lunar Robotic Exploration.To say this was an awesome conversation would be the understatement of Lay of The Land…Our conversation explored his rigorous journey to becoming an astronaut, the profound experience of living and working in space, the awe-inspiring perspective gained from orbit, and the unique challenges of transitioning back to life on Earth. We also discussed his role in shaping the future of private sector space exploration (Oceaneering, Orbital ATK), international collaboration in space missions, and even his time performing with the only astronaut band in history!00:00:00 - Introduction to Carl Walz and His Journey  00:05:39 - The Path to Becoming an Astronaut  00:07:49 - The Ohio Astronaut Legacy  00:10:07 - Experiences in Space Missions  00:12:37 - The Awe of Spacewalks  00:14:58 - Life on the International Space Station  00:17:33 - Scientific Experiments in Space  00:19:46 - Dealing with Adversity in Space  00:21:41 - The Fulfillment of Space Exploration  00:23:56 - Transitioning Back to Earth and the Private Sector  00:30:55 - Navigating the Challenges of Spacecraft Development  00:35:09 - The Evolution of Public-Private Partnerships in Space  00:38:36 - The Future of Space Exploration: Mars and Beyond  00:43:59 - Perspectives on Extraterrestrial Life and UFOs  00:45:40 - The Unique Experience of an Astronaut Band  00:50:38 - Hidden Gem-----LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/carl-walz-21b4579/https://www.oceaneering.com/-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

In this episode of "Everyday Black Men," White Collar Suge challenges the group with a peculiar test, setting the stage for fresh antics. Reed continues his trolling streak by announcing his desire to visit North Korea's resort, prompting Riker to humorously recruit the podcast's 17 bravest white listeners to join him—strictly for research purposes, of course. The Black Libertarian downplays the appeal of Dave & Buster's in favor of deep space exploration, causing Reed to question whether he has genuine hobbies. As tensions rise, The Black Libertarian and Riker clash over relationship preferences—specifically dating whomever you want versus leaving people behind for their generation. The episode wraps up with a surprising member of the team looking for an olive branch before the episode ends.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

This week, it's cool space news you can use (if you're not stuck on the ISS!). We look at the recent flight of Fram 2, the first spacecraft to fly a polar orbit; recent revelations about the flight of Starliner from commander Butch Wilmore; a mysterious Russian satellite behaving strangely; and carnivorous Martian dust devils. We also update you on SpaceX's next test of Starship, SpinLaunch's mighty "space cannon," recent experiments on abating lunar dust, and much more. Join us! Fram 2 Mission - SpaceX's private orbital mission financed by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang completed a four-day flight, making history as the first mission to send astronauts over Earth's poles. Amazon's Kuiper Satellites - Amazon launched its first batch of 27 Kuiper internet satellites on an Atlas 5 rocket, beginning its planned 3,200-satellite constellation to compete with SpaceX's Starlink. Blue Origin's All-Female Flight Controversy? - Actress Olivia Munn is blasting the all-female crew for Blue Origin's next suborbital flight for its costly, gluttonous mission. Tariffs Impact on Space Industry - The hosts discussed how new tariffs could affect aerospace companies that rely on international partnerships and imported components for spacecraft manufacturing. US Military Cargo Delivery with SpaceX - The US military's Rocket Cargo Vanguard program plans to test using SpaceX's Starship to deliver 100 tons of cargo anywhere in the world in under 90 minutes. Starliner's Harrowing Mission - New details revealed that Boeing's Starliner mission was more dangerous than initially reported, with multiple thruster failures creating serious maneuvering issues, threatening to leave them adrift in space. Mysterious Russian Satellites - Three Russian satellites (Cosmos 2581-2583) were observed performing proximity operations and possibly deploying another object in orbit, raising concerns about their purpose. Starship Test 9 Preparations - SpaceX is preparing to refly a Starship booster with 29 reused engines, marking progress toward their fully reusable rocket system. Japan's Mars Plans - JAXA is planning to send multiple mini rovers to Mars using an inflatable heat shield technology to enable larger payload deliveries, and add a lander to Phobos. Cannibal Dust Devils on Mars - The Perseverance rover captured images of two dust devils on Mars merging, with the larger one (210 feet wide) absorbing a smaller one (16 feet wide). Lunar Dust Mitigation Technology - NASA successfully tested an electrodynamic dust shield on Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander that could help manage the highly problematic lunar dust on future missions. Asteroid 2024 YR4 Update - James Webb Space Telescope observations determined the asteroid is about 200 feet wide with a slightly increased 3.8% chance of hitting the moon in 2032, up from 1.7%. SpinLaunch's Satellite Plans - SpinLaunch received $12 million in funding to develop an enhanced system using centrifugal force to launch up to 250 satellites at once, potentially offering a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly launch alternative.

Asteroids are rich in precious metals and other valuable resources. But mining them presents considerable challenges. We discuss these, and consider how these spinning, rocky resources might be the key to a space-faring future. But an economist points out the consequences of bringing material back to Earth, and a scientist raises an ethical question; do we have an obligation to keep the asteroids intact for science? Guests: Jim Bell - Planetary scientist in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. Martin Elvis - Astronomer and author of “Asteroids: How Love, Fear, and Greed Will Determine Our Future in Space.” Ian Lange - Economist and associate professor at the Colorado School of Mines and author of a paper on the feasibility of asteroid mining.
