Taking images through your telescope has never been easier. What used to be complicated, time-consuming and expensive is now accessible to people who've never used a telescope before. Getting started in taking pictures of the night sky is orders of magnitude simpler than it was decades ago when film reigned supreme. Now, with modest equipment budding astrophotographers can achieve amazing results right out of the gate, but navigating all that gear can be overwhelming. In this episode of Space Junk Podcast, we'll explore strategies and gear to get you off to a roaring start taking images that will please your family, friends and all your social media followers. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/spacejunk/support
Annie Handmer is a final year PhD Candidate at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Science, in the School of History and Philosophy of Science. Her research traces the social history of Australian space science projects in order to better understand international and interdisciplinary cooperation, the social construction of achievement, and the nature of the military-industrial-academic complex in Australian space science. In addition, she is on the Advisory Council for the Space Industry Association of Australia, a member of the Space Generation Advisory Council ‘Ethics and Human Rights in Space' Project Group, the Space Law Council of Australia and New Zealand, program consultant to the Australian Youth Aerospace Association ASTRA Committee, and is also the host and creator of the Space Junk Podcast. In Spring 2021 (southern hemisphere), Annie will be undertaking a residency at the Sydney Observatory.

(launchyourdreamlife.com) ********************* Opening Remarks Hi Everyone, I'm so glad to have Annie Handmer as my guest on the podcast again. I love the way she sees the world and everything she thinks about. In this conversation Annie and I turned things around. Instead of looking backwards to what we always wanted, we ponder the question of what do you want to be when you grow up. What effect does that question have on kids when they hear it? And what's really the point of asking when the jobs available will be completely different in 20 years. For example the work Annie does now was inconceivable when I was growing up. Annie actually teaches Space Law, she advises the United Nations on Space Ethics, and works for her state government predicting the future in order to come up with better policy. Wow. If you haven't yet listened to our previous conversation, do check out I Always Wanted to Go Into Outer Space from September 2020. She proposes some great alternatives to Space Tourism for those of us who are not billionaires. It's not a prerequisite for this episode but it's well worth a listen. In today's conversation we talk about better questions to ask children than what do you want to be, and discuss how our differences influence our point of view. Annie speaks on behalf of all millennials and I speak for all boomers and together we make sweeping generalizations that are absolutely sure to be true. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Here's the interview. (Full transcript at https://ialwayswantedto.net)

On today's episode of the “Space Junk” podcast, guest host Luke Pringle interviews Gilmour Space Propulsion Engineer Nick McLean (pronounced like John McClane) about hybrid rockets and how to get a job in the Space industry.Luke is a 16-year-old year-10 student from Cherrybrook Technology High School who has been doing Work Experience with The Space Junk Podcast. Luke is studying engineering, physics, and textile design, and would one day like to work in the space industry as an astronaut or maybe an astronautical engineer. It's been an awesome experience having Luke join my week in a virtual format, and I'd encourage anyone out there who does something cool to consider offering virtual work experience to a young person during this challenging time. Luke picked the guest and the topic, and hosted, edited and produced this episode.Nick McLean is a propulsion engineer who works for Gilmour Space Technologies, a leading venture-funded Australian space company headquartered in Queensland, Australia that is developing new hybrid-engine rockets and associated technology to support the development of a low-cost space launch vehicle.Together Nick and Luke discuss what a hybrid engine is and the advantages of hybrid engines over normal solid and liquid engines. Additionally, they discuss how to get into the space sector and what traits are looked for in budding engineers and scientists.Also during the recording, a bird outside Nick's window was determined on interrupting the recording session and being in on the action during the podcast.

I'm delighted to be able to let you know that the Space Junk Podcast has been picked up by That's Not Canon Productions, an independent, Australian podcast network and collective. This is super exciting, and opens up a whole range of new possibilities for the podcast. There are only a couple of small changes you might notice as a result which I want to flag with you so you're not taken aback by them. First, the podcast has been moved to the hosting platform Acast. If you were someone who listened to the podcast on the Fireside website, you should switch to Acast(https://play.acast.com/s/space-junk-podcast/ ). If you listen in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or any of the listening apps, you everything should continue as normal.Second, because we've moved over to Acast, it is possible that your listening platform will now insert ads. I have done my best to restrict any potential ads to innocuous things like gardening equipment, but if you hear an ad that you think is not in keeping with the vibe of the podcast, please let me know immediately by emailing thespacejunkpod@gmail.com.As always, the Space Junk Podcast remains an independently run, ruthlessly intellectual, dining-room table-type enterprise. I'm sorry to say the audio quality will stay, as always, patchy at best, but the quality of the conversations will always be my first and only priority. Thank you as always for listening, and may your space always remain junky. Annie Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/space-junk-podcast.

This podcast begins with a conversation over a cup of tea with Thomas Gooch, founder of the Office of Other Spaces, the Office of Planetary Obervations, and the national Australian director of the Moon Village Association. Regular listeners might remember Thomas as the host of the Moon Village Association panel on the Moon in Melbourne in February this year. The second half of the episode is the audio from the presentation Thomas gave at the conference ‘Property rights and real estate interests in outer space' which was hosted online by RMIT university on 1 May 2020. The event was sponsored by: The Space Industry Association of Australia RMIT School of Property, Construction and Project Management Sir Lawrence Wackett Centre YK LawI'd like to thank Rebecca Leshinsky, Sam Le May and the team from RMIT for making this recording available for publication through the Space Junk Podcast. If you would like to watch this presentation and see the slides along with the audio, you can it here: https://youtu.be/gIr68YGvtuoBecause this is a recording from an online conference, the audio is a little crackly, so I suggest listening without headphones.

In this week's episode, I interrupt the normal scheduling to bring you a special episode on space and bushfires. It seems that despite the technological advances that space has brought, we are still at the whim of nature when it comes to natural disasters. Or are we? To help me answer this question, I tracked down the best expert I know to tell me about the ongoing bushfire situation in Australia, and how space enabled technologies can assist efforts to predict, manage, and assess the impact of bushfires. It just so happens that he is also my Uncle. Professor John Handmer is an Emeritus Professor with the RMIT School of Science, and has qualifications and experience in human geography, economics and law. Recently named Australia's top researcher in emergency management, he chairs the Scientific Committee of the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) Program of ISC (International Council of Science and the UNDRR), and is, or has recently been, on a number of Australian advisory bodies, which cover climate change adaptation, disaster risk and resilience, and most recently the National Vulnerability Profile project. John also ran the Bushfire CRC's communities research program and the post-Black Saturday human dimensions research.

This is one of those episodes that really felt too short.This wasn't really an interview, more a great chat with a friend who has some fascinating experiences and opinions. We talked about space junk, advertising and mining, What STEM is, and even what science is. We finished with a bit of a nerd out about metal music!Annie answered Corey's questions about how you communicate science and asked her own here, it's a doozy!If you could experience going into a black hole knowing that you'd never come back, would you?
