What happens when today's treasure – satellites that give us access to broadband internet and accurate weather forecasts among other things – become tomorrow's trash? Or, in other words, where does all that space junk go? And what does climate change have to do with it? Last month, a team of aerospace engineers at MIT released their findings from a research study on the effects of climate change on satellites in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Will Parker, PhD candidate in Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT, and lead author of the study, joins The Excerpt to discuss how global warming affects satellites.

Space Trash, 9min,. USA Directed by James Jarosz Short film and first installment of web series. A galactic garbage collector picks up a seemingly innocuous piece of space junk but it turns out to be more than he bargained for. This sci-fi action comedy will have you laughing, entertained and wanting more. https://www.instagram.com/jimbrokenreelpics Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? Back in the mid 90s I read an article about space junk and how difficult it was going to be for shuttles and rockets to launch without hitting orbital debris. I was also very interested in the idea of taking an ordinary blue collar job and making it the most dangerous job in the future. The marriage of those two ideas along with my love for 70s and 80s sci fi films became the seed for Space Trash.    What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? I was very pleased. It was great to hear what people outside of the project thought of the film and that they very clearly understood the world I was trying to create. I'm glad that the humer landed and that overall people found it entertaining.

In December 2024, a huge, red-hot metal ring fell from the sky and landed in a small village in Kenya. It turned out to be a piece of space junk. There are millions of pieces of space debris and rubbish floating around in space. And we're sending more and more stuff up there. Now it's not just governments, but private companies like SpaceX and Amazon who are launching satellites. Some reports suggest that by 2030, we could have more than 60,000 active satellites in space. So what happens when they're no longer needed? BBC Science reporter Caroline Steel explains why space junk is such a big issue, and how people are trying to get rid of it.And Wanjiku Chebet Kanjumba, a Kenyan PHD student studying aerospace engineering, tells us about some of the potential solutions, like using nets or lasers.

What makes three very different conservation projects so successful? These experts say it's getting the community involved. And, archaeologists make a case for tracking and preserving artifacts left on Mars to chronicle humans' first attempts at interplanetary exploration.Meet 3 Leaders Addressing Local Conservation ProblemsWhile 2024 saw a lot of governments and institutions falling short on climate goals, there were also smaller, localized efforts making a big difference for the environment.To understand more about the creative ways that people are protecting nature, Science Friday began a newsletter series called “Tiny Nature Triumphs.” It highlights small conservation projects that have helped scientists and communities alike—and inspired people to get involved in solutions in their own backyard.SciFri Digital Producer Emma Gometz sits down with leaders on three projects featured in “Tiny Nature Triumphs”—Claire Lane, an urban ecologist and leader on the Hamilton County Invasive Species Trade In Program; Jake Rose, co-founder of Chronolog; and Shaun Preston, yardmaster at Camp Small. They discuss how their programs address local conservation problems, and how to get involved.A New Argument For Preserving ‘Space Junk' Left On MarsOver the past 60 years or so of space exploration, humans have left some things behind: bits of satellites, moon buggies, Mars rovers, even human excrement. It's all part of the countless bits of human-made material that some people have dubbed “space junk.”But what if, many, many years from now, archeologists wanted to trace the chronology of space exploration by examining the items we left in our wake? A new paper in the journal Nature Astronomy argues just this, that artifacts should be considered heritage, rather than trash.Lead author Dr. Justin Holcomb, assistant research professor at the University of Kansas, joins Ira to discuss shifting our mindset on “space junk.”Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

They delve into the implications of space debris on future space missions, share personal anecdotes about their snack preferences, and explore the psychology behind buyer's remorse, particularly in relation to clothing, technology, and big-ticket items. The conversation is light-hearted yet informative, providing listeners with insights into both the cosmos and everyday life.Linkshttps://www.breakfromthegrind.com/Visit our Stores: https://www.redbubble.com/people/bftg/shophttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/lowtreestudiosVideo https://rumble.com/c/c-6686850https://www.youtube.com/@breakfromthegrindhttps://www.youtube.com/@BFTG-Inspiration DetailsTHE LATEST ON SPACE JUNK _ The amount of space junk currently in Earth's orbit is significant and poses a growing threat to space operations. According to the latest statistics the number of large debris objects in space (greater than 10 cm) is approximately 29,000 to 36,500 objects.… The number of medium debris (1-10 cm) is estimated to be around 670,000 to 1 million.… The number of small debris (greater than 1 mm) is 100 million to 170 million pieces.… The vast majority of space junk results from defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragments from collisions or explosions in orbit.LATE NIGHT SNACK? EAT COTTAGE CHEESE _ If you've been on the lookout for the perfect late night snack, researchers (Florida State University) said that cottage cheese before bed has a positive effect on the metabolism and overall health, helps promote muscle recovery, and doesn't result in any body fat gains. If cottage cheese isn't exactly your snack of choice, the study's authors said any helping of 30 grams of protein about a half hour before turning in for the night should do the trick.OVER HALF OF US HIDE PURCHASES FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS OUT OF EMBARRASSMENT _ Have you ever made a purchase you regretted?

Kobe Earthquake 1995. At 5:46 in the morning, the city was struck by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake, leaving 6,000 casualties and 45,000 others homeless. Nobu Okada was only just out of college when he witnessed this scene of devastation and decided to turn his life towards a path of action and purpose. But what career would he turn to next? Now, we know Nobu as the founder of Astroscale, a company working towards a goal of long term spaceflight safety by targeting space debris in Earth's orbit. His company has received multiple awards, earning the title of TIME100's Most Influential Companies, Forbes JAPAN's “Start-up of the Year” in 2019, and the Grand Prix (pree) for UNESCO's 2020 Innovation Forum. Despite this incredible growth over the past decade, Nobu's path did not always lay outside the stratosphere, as his career began in government finance, IT consulting, and business startups. Before we reach for the stars with today's guest, let's trace his story back to where it began, the innocent days of science magazines and the promise of space camp… Learn more about your ad choices.

Even though you can't see it, space junk orbiting around the Earth is a very big problem. But what exactly is it, how much of it is circling the Earth, and what are scientists doing to tackle this problem? In this episode, I will take you into the science of space debris and uncover what … Continue reading "Episode 190: The Big Space Junk Problem"

Within the next decade, thousands of satellites are set to head to space, but satellites may need to duck for cover. As more payloads enter low Earth orbit, space junk— debris from previous rocket launches, inactive satellites, and more—is also on the rise. LeoLabs is a startup that analyzes it all, and says number of active payloads it tracks has increased tenfold. With an additional 13,000 pieces of debris in orbit, what's the future of space traffic management? CEO Tony Frazier joins Morgan Brennan to discuss the trajectory of space traffic, using AI to analyze satellites, and his six months on the job.

Space junk. It might sound like an out-of-this-world problem that we don't need to worry about here on Earth – but is it? As we send more and more metal in the form of satellites up into space, scientists are warning it is becoming more of a risk both here – and up there. We dig into the problem and what's being done to clean it up. Also this week, we answer a listener question about oceans and their influence on global temperatures, and we ponder the use – and sometimes abuse – of scientific language. And with the Paris Olympics well under way, how much does sex affect sporting performance?

Follow and listen to DERELICT: https://pod.link/1473460202 **** Hey! Beth here, just dropping in to give you a quick update on Space Junk and also tell you about a new show we've been loving. First up, Space Junk: It's still coming! It's in the final stages of post-production and we're working on a final round of editing notes before it's ready to go. It's been a really difficult and complicated year for us, but we're still working on the show and gradually getting towards release. We really can't wait to get it out there, and I've already started planning out the next season! Aaand if you're looking for something really excellent to listen to in the mean time, I have a show to recommend! This is a sponsored feed drop, but also when I started listening to the show to make sure that it was something I'd be happy to recommend, I was pretty blown away.The show is called Derelict. It's an independently produced sci-fi podcast from J Barton Mitchell, currently in it's second season, and it's just returned from a mid-season hiatus so now's the perfect time to catch up. Derelict begins with its first season, Fathom, in which an ancient artefact resembling a giant door has been discovered at the bottom of Earth's ocean. To study it, the galaxy's most powerful corporation has built a massive, secret research base surrounding it. Their objective: unlock the secrets of the artifact and discover what it holds inside.​ But some mysteries should remain buried, and some doors should never be opened…One of the things I really love about Derelict is how rich the world is -- they don't spoon-feed you the lore, but there's a constant trickle of information as you listen that really tells you so much about the setting, and I really love that. We open on Dr Eva Graff, leader of a group of scientists who've been working on opening the door for the past year. But the Vault, as they've called it, isn't opening any time soon and their employers are starting to lost patience. And Eva has her own reasons for not wanting to return to the surface...Here's episode one -- I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You can find and listen to DERELICT, that's D-E-R-E-L-I-C-T, anywhere you listen to podcasts, or by clicking this link. And thanks to DERELICT for their support. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you saw the movie "Gravity," you have a sense of the dangers of orbital debris—and the risk is very real. More than 25,000 objects over four inches in diameter are tracked by the US Space Force, and millions of others are smaller or untracked—everything from derelict satellites to dead rocket stages to bits of shrapnel and even just chunks of frozen rocket fuel is there. And even something the size and mass of a paint chip, traveling at orbital speeds, can take out a window of a spacecraft. We're joined by Dr. John Crassidis from the University of Buffalo, an expert in orbital debris and its dangers. Look out below; this is going to be a hot one! Headlines: SpaceX Falcon 9 launch failure investigation underway after engine explosion during upper stage relight James Webb Space Telescope celebrates 2nd anniversary with new "Cosmic Penguin" image Boeing Starliner return date still uncertain as NASA and Boeing review data Mailbag: Zaheer Mohammed congratulates the National Space Society's Ad Astra magazine on winning the Marcom Awards in 2023 Main Topic: Orbital Debris Discussion with Dr. John Crassidis Orbital debris defined as anything in space that is no longer useful, ranging from paint flakes to rocket bodies Debris moves at extremely high speeds (17,500 mph), making collisions highly destructive Kessler Syndrome: cascading collisions could render low Earth orbit unusable within 50 years if debris growth is not slowed Approximately 47,000 tracked objects softball-size or larger, with millions more smaller pieces Challenges in tracking debris due to limited coverage, object tumbling, and modeling uncertainties Ownership and responsibility for debris removal complicated by lack of international agreements Current remediation techniques not feasible due to cost and technological limitations Urgent need for debris mitigation through international cooperation and improved satellite design Future threats extend beyond low Earth orbit, with debris already accumulating around the Moon Importance of investing in research to develop effective debris removal technologies Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Dr. John Crassidis Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Sarah wants to get her groove back, so she got some brand new...custom, orthotic insoles. Ma'am wants to get her groove back sensibly, in comfortable, menopausal shoes. Susie talks about the new season of the Jinx, which chronicles the murder confession and conviction of real estate heir, Robert Durst, his origin story, and his downfall. And why the original docuseries changed True Crime documentaries forever. We debate whether the long-awaited and much hyped Bluey special did the viewers dirty by making a plotline that is more aspirational than reality based, and why parents are none too pleased. We learn about a nude cruise that is setting sail, but they do not want people getting the wrong idea, so they've listed rules about when to use a towel, take pics, and whether the buffet line will have people's privates dangling nearby. A metal object from the International Space Station hurdled toward Earth and smashed into a Florida home despite NASA believing space junk would burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Susie describes the documentary about Hans Zimmer, movie score composer and cinematic musical legend (who composed the Interstellar score by the way).Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 25% off your first month for a limited time at https://ritual.com/BRAINCANDYGo to https://paireyewear.com and use code CANDY for 15% off your first pair!Go to https://www.songfinch.com/BRAINCANDY and start your song – after you purchase, you'll be prompted to add Spotify Streaming for your original song for FREE - a $50 value!Get $20 off your purchase of the Hatch Restore and free shipping at https://www.hatch.co/BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
