America's heading back to the Moon, but what does the public really think? This week, we talk with former NASA Chief Historian and Smithsonian Curator Dr. Roger Launius, who has studied, among many other things, public perceptions of NASA and spaceflight. Some spoilers: no, there was no "Golden Age" in the 1960s when the public was hugely behind the Apollo Moon landings; being a space historian is a lot of fun; and it probably doesn't really matter if China lands people on the Moon before the US does so *again*. Join us. Headlines: • Successful first flight of ULA's new Vulcan Centaur rocket with engines from Blue Origin • Payload - Astrobotic's Peregrine commercial lunar lander suffers propulsion leak en route to the Moon • NASA engineers finally open stuck cover on OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample capsule Main Topic: Public Perceptions of Space Exploration • Common perception of widespread public support and national unity around Apollo program is a myth  • Polls at the time showed concerns about cost and other spending priorities • Support depended heavily on Cold War context; would not have happened otherwise • Public support and approval polling for space exploration has remained fairly consistent over decades • But support drops when funds are weighed against other priorities like social programs • JFK tried multiple times to make Apollo a joint U.S.-Soviet program to save money • His assassination allowed NASA to leverage his legacy to maintain support and funding • Presidential bold visions for space require an urgent political problem to address • Competition with China lacks the existential threat of the Cold War space race Additional Topics:  • NASA is now doing business with more private-public and commercial partnerships • But political factors and election cycles still hamper long-term continuity • Preserving history and archives from the digital era will be extremely difficult • Predictions: Boots on the Moon again within 10-15 years, Mars by 2040s Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Roger Launius Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Space Historian, Dr. Fred Nadis tells you about the billionaires, geniuses, and crazed visionaries out to conquer the universe.  Featured in his book Star Settlers, Dr. Fred Nadis talks about the scientific, intellectual, and economic elite's zeal for space travel and settlement. He'll also give answers to your most burning space questions: Where will space exploration and tourism take us in 10, 20, and 50 years. When will we colonize Mars? How close are we to finding alien life? And more. 

Space historian, author, and founder of the website Behind the Black, Bob Zimmerman, shares compelling insight into the world of his expertise on space information and the latest space technology. In this episode, you will discover: Why Zimmerman believes the Apollo 8 mission in 1968 had the greatest historical and cultural impact Why JFK sent us to the moon and how he used the Soviet model to do it The current transition from governmental control to the privately-run industry in space exploration, and how NASA's bureaucracy has attempted to slow this transition “You cannot separate space exploration from the politics…and the culture of its time,” says Zimmerman. He discusses the Apollo program—the individual missions and the overall purpose and outcome of it. He also discusses the Space Shuttle program and why it largely failed to meet its supposedly intended goal. So, what is the aim of most projects focused on the moon? Zimmerman says it's to explore the potential of permanently shadowed craters on the moon where the sun never shines. Some data suggest that ice might be located in these areas, which means there would be oxygen and hydrogen, and therefore a source of fuel. He goes on to explain the efforts of various characters to explore these potentialities. In the last decade, Zimmerman says that the US has been transitioning away from the Soviet model to the US model within which private enterprise operates, and that NASA is no longer the leader of everything done in this field. He dives into the details of what this means, what SpaceX has accomplished since entering this market, the purpose and design of what's called the Mission Extension Vehicle (MEV), and so much more.

Welcome to Space 3D! We are delighted to bring you part 4 and the conclusion of our interview with space historian Jay Gallentine.In this episode, co-moderators Emily Carney and Eleanor O'Rangers continue their discussion with Jay, delving into some fascinating backstory on his research for his second book, Infinity Beckoned: Adventuring Through the Inner Solar System, 1969–1989. Jay reveals some of the serendipitous details and sheer luck that led him to uncovering significant, scholarly additions to the historical record as it pertains to the Russian Lunokhod rover programs. Finally, we get Jay's thoughts on whether the subject of his two books—unmanned spacecraft--- are superior to humanity for exploring the universe. The answer, not surprisingly, is as thoughtfully considered as the work and creativity that went into his first two books.

Welcome to Space 3D and part 3 of our interview with Jay Gallentine. In this episode, we go on the journey of discovery and serendipity which led Jay to his first book, Ambassadors to Earth: a journey by way of DB Cooper, the planet Venus, a brief interlude with a sports car, Craig Breedlove, and ultimately, James Van Allen…

In our second interview for season 3, cohosts Emily Carney and Eleanor O'Rangers welcome Space Historian Jay Gallentine to the podcast.As described on Amazon, Jay has a reputation for stripping away technobabble to focus on the intimate human stories behind space missions. His politely uncouth, casual writing style makes the topic accessible and enjoyable, while retaining accuracy worthy of a reference tome.Based on our interview, I would wholeheartedly concur with this assessment. In Part 1 of our interview, we ask Jay to describe what exactly is a space historian, and then delve into some interesting back story on his first award-winning book for astronomical literature, "Ambassadors to Earth", which details the turbulent early days of solar system exploration based on 5 years of original research and numerous interviews with those who did the work. This intensive research and drive to dig deep has led to some, well, interesting “bumps along the road” that might deter a less dedicated space historian.

In this episode, we continue the discussion of some interesting “bumps in the road” to publishing his first book, Ambassadors to Earth. Who knew there was going to be so much drama involved in telling the tales of unmanned space exploration?
