In the first hour, publisher Joel Skousen delved into the complexities of drone sightings, their potential implications for national security, and why experts have trouble telling the difference between drones, aircraft, and UFOs. There has been a prevalence of strange sightings across the US, particularly in New York and New Jersey. After reviewing hundreds of videos, he believes that some of the objects are clearly not drones. "Drones simply can't travel across the sky in a second and a half... that's more speed than hypersonic," he remarked, adding that "95% of hobby drones don't have transponders," making them nearly invisible to radar, and all the more difficult to track at night.Regarding the drones, "the government is not being forthcoming... to say it's not foreign indicates that they're hiding something," he continued. Skousen also touched on the phenomenon of drones purportedly shooting lasers, suggesting that while there are videos of such events, the craft may be more likely to be UFOs. The public deserves clarity on aerial threats, he urged, especially given the historical context of military operations that often go unannounced. However, he dismissed claims that the recent drone sightings could be a prelude to a "false flag" operation, stating, "It can't be a false flag if it doesn't generate massive public fear... there's been no damage." He added that while UFOs may be investigating nuclear facilities, they do not interfere with human activities.------------In the middle two hours, space historian Robert Zimmerman discussed the evolving landscape of space exploration, emphasizing the crucial role of private companies, and what we might expect in the new year. "I don't want a space program. A space program implies that somebody in the government is dictating what everyone must do," he stated, advocating for a competitive environment that fosters innovation. He highlighted SpaceX's dominance, noting they "actually had more launches than everyone else in the entire world combined." However, he lamented the challenges smaller startups face due to stringent regulations imposed by the FAA, which he described as a "nightmare" that has stifled innovation. He argued that this regulatory framework has driven many promising companies out of the market, and called for a return to a more flexible regulatory environment like in 2020.Zimmerman also shared insights on NASA's future direction under the potential leadership of Jared Isaacman, a billionaire with private spaceflight experience.

NASA's Space Launch System Faces Uncertain Future Under Trump Administration Hey, remember when the SLS rocket absolutely nailed that Artemis I mission back in 2022? Makes you wonder why they'd even think about canceling such a successful program now, right? The future of NASA's most powerful rocket hangs in the balance following Donald Trump's recent electoral victory. The Space Launch System (SLS), a cornerstone of America's ambitious return to the Moon, faces potential cancellation according to space industry insiders. The US space journalist Eric Berger recently posted on X: "To be clear we are far from anything being settled, but based on what I'm hearing it seems at least 50-50 that Nasa's Space Launch System rocket will be cancelled." The SLS rocket serves as the primary launch vehicle for NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo era ended in 1972. This massive rocket has demonstrated its capabilities through successful testing, including the unmanned Artemis I mission in 2022. The completed Artemis III mission would mark humanity's return to the lunar surface, with plans to land the first woman and person of color on the Moon. The current mission architecture for Artemis III involves a carefully choreographed sequence of events. Four astronauts will launch aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft, carried by the SLS rocket, into lunar orbit. Upon reaching lunar orbit, two crew members will transfer to SpaceX's Starship vehicle, which will have launched separately, to make the descent to the Moon's surface. After completing their lunar exploration, these astronauts will return to orbit in Starship, rejoin their colleagues in Orion, and make the journey back to Earth. Technical challenges have pushed the timeline for the first crewed lunar landing to Autumn 2026, considerably later than initially planned. Various factors contribute to these delays, including necessary redesigns of astronaut spacesuits, complications with Orion's heat shield and life support systems, and ongoing development issues with SpaceX's Starship lunar lander. Additionally, the upgraded mobile launch tower for the SLS has experienced both cost overruns and schedule delays. China's space program has announced plans to send its own astronauts to the lunar surface by 2030, adding a competitive element to the timeline. Chinese space missions typically maintain conservative scheduling estimates, suggesting their projected timeline may be more reliable than American estimates. This development has created pressure on NASA to maintain its schedule and technological edge in space exploration.

Title: Trump's Victory Could Boost Elon Musk's Mars Dreams Introduction: The election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States is expected to significantly impact the American space program, particularly Elon Musk's ambitious plans to send humans to Mars. According to sources familiar with the emerging space policy agenda, NASA's Artemis program may shift its focus more directly toward Mars under Trump's leadership. Three key questions to be answered: Musk's Support for Trump and Its Implications: Elon Musk has been an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, contributing $119 million to his White House bid. Musk's endorsement of Trump has successfully elevated the importance of space policy during the presidential transition. The Trump administration is expected to prioritize a more direct approach to Mars exploration, potentially accelerating the timeline for sending humans to the Red Planet. Regulatory Changes and Their Impact on SpaceX: Under a Trump presidency, SpaceX may benefit from reduced regulatory hurdles, particularly at the Federal Aviation Administration's commercial space office. NASA is expected to favor fixed-price contracts that place greater responsibility on private companies while scaling back over-budget programs. The shift in contracting approach could have significant implications for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, potentially leading to a restructuring or streamlining of the program. Musk's Ambitious Mars Timeline: Elon Musk has outlined an ambitious timeline for reaching Mars, including landing a Starship on the Red Planet by 2026 and launching a crewed mission four years later. Many industry experts view this timeline as overly optimistic and improbable, given the technical challenges associated with safely landing a spacecraft on Mars and establishing a sustainable human presence. Environmental Concerns and Legal Challenges: The development of SpaceX's Starship rocket at the Boca Chica launch site in Texas has raised environmental concerns, with evidence suggesting that launches have a detrimental impact on the surrounding wetlands and wildlife. The Center for Biological Diversity and local environmental organizations are currently suing the FAA for failing to conduct a comprehensive environmental impact statement before permitting SpaceX to launch Starship from the site. If regulators take a more lenient approach under the Trump administration, the courts may assume a more prominent role in enforcing environmental regulations. The Future of American Space Exploration: The potential for increased collaboration between NASA and private companies like SpaceX could accelerate the development of technologies and infrastructure necessary for human missions to Mars. However, the exploration of Mars is an enormously complex and expensive endeavor that will require sustained political support, robust funding, and close collaboration among various stakeholders. As the Trump administration takes shape, the specifics of its space policy agenda will become clearer, providing a more definitive picture of how it intends to support and shape the future of American space exploration. Conclusion: The election of Donald Trump represents an important inflection point in the history of space exploration, particularly for Elon Musk's ambitious plans to send humans to Mars. As the new administration begins to shape its space policy agenda, the world will be watching closely to see how the United States chooses to pursue this grand vision of human exploration beyond Earth.

From day one, she was asked to fit inside a box that didn't align with her true calling. She grew up feeling trapped within a patriarchal, cultural mindset where women are groomed, expected to be wives and homemakers, and not encouraged to go to school. Being a bright and headstrong young girl, she pushed over one barrier after another in her determination to complete her high school education and go on to college. Shehnaz graduated high school as the valedictorian and continued engineering at the University of Karachi despite persistent cultural and familial abuse and degradation as a female.Her aspirations to achieve a college degree and financial independence were soon obliterated when obligatory arranged marriage disrupted her education. Dictated by cultural tradition, she was married off to a stranger after a one-hour interview, and quickly after the wedding, she immigrated to the United States with her new groom, leaving everything behind.Upon her arrival in the United States, she faced a new set of challenges, including financial, cultural, and language barriers—as she tried to acculturate to her new life. In facing the choice to either do what was expected and approved or to expand her inner self, Shehnaz reawakened her trailblazer instincts and chose the path of transformation.Committed to pursuing her dream life, she attended a community college to learn English. She already spoke three languages – Urdu, Gujarati (goo-jar-a-tee), and Hindi but had long-dreamed of speaking English fluently. Her decision not to take “no” for an answer rewarded her with a degree in electrical engineering at the University of California, Irvine. This achievement launched her into a life of financial independence, space exploration, and an ongoing personal expedition of change at both the physical and quantum level.Shehnaz has worked as a rocket scientist for both Boeing and NASA.

The Starship rocket is designed to generate up to 17 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, and the latest hot fire test saw the rocket generate 7.9 million pounds of thrust, meeting the test's objectives, even though two engines shut off. The upcoming orbital flight test will throttle the rocket's engines up to 90%, which will surpass the current most powerful rocket on Earth, NASA's Space Launch System (SLS), which generates 8.8 million pounds of thrust. If the upcoming orbital flight test is successful, the Starship rocket will set two records. It will break the world record for the most engines fired at the same time, and it will become the most powerful rocket in history, surpassing the Soviet Union's N1 rocket, which generated 10.2 million pounds of thrust but failed on all four launch attempts.

Antariksh Matters: Putting space ambitions in context— Pranav R SatyanathThe Artemis 1 mission rocket stays grounded, ready to launch on another day. The North American Space Administration (NASA) made two unsuccessful attempts to get the massive Space Launch System (SLS) rocket off the ground. The first attempt to launch the Artemis 1 mission, the rocket's Engine-3 (SLS has four engines) faced a cooling issue. During the second attempt on September 3rd, NASA aborted the launch due to a fuel leak issue.. But the SLS stands tall to be launched another day. The Artemis mission has raised the prospect of a new space race in popular media, with some even proclaiming that space is getting excited once again. But the narrative around the space race is flawed, both in the context of the Cold War and the present day. True, the United States and China plan to send humans back to the Moon by 2026. By pitting two countries' space programmes, however, we often forget the domestic politics and organisational drivers of national space programmes. The refusal to open the ‘black box' of domestic politics often skews our perception as to what really motivates countries to undertake certain actions, whether it is in the realm of national security or civilian space programmes. During the Cold War, the US and the Soviet Union had set up their respective space programmes to achieve completely separate goals. In the US, successive Presidential administrations kept the civilian and military space programmes strictly separate, with NASA placed as the heart of all civilian space ambitions. The Department of Defense (and individual branches of the US military) took it upon themselves to drive the direction of the ballistic missile and missile defence programmes. Approval of budgets and high-level decision-making fell on the hands of the President, with each new Presidentsetting the course of the space program and fighting for NASA's budgets in Congress.In stark contrast, decision-making in the Soviet Union was decentralised. The Soviet military, in particular, prioritised the missile programme in order to match the numerical and technological prowess of the US. The technology derived from the ballistic missile programme often drove the space programme. In parallel, influential heads of design bureaus, namely Sergei Korolev (design bureau OKB-1), Vladimir Chelomey (design bureau OKB-52) and Valentin Glushko (OKB-546), led the way to propose space missions and rocket payloads to the higher Soviet leadership. The outcome of interpersonal rivalries between these men (and their design bureaus) often led to a disorganised space programme within the USSR.While the Soviets achieved great success with the launch of the world's first satellite, dog, man and woman in space, the Moon did not capture the interest of the Soviet leadership, led by Nikita Khrushchev until August 1964 — three months after the first launch of the Saturn-1 rocket that carried Apollo astronauts to the Moon. The Soviet Union ultimately lost the “race” to the Moon as the motives and commitment to a Moon race was very different from what the Americans perceived Soviet ambitions to be.Today, the new race to the Moon is also driven by domestic politics and marketed by domestic politics and asymmetric goals. The US aims to make its Moon landing sustainable with a long-term presence alongside its partners. On the other hand, China's goals are much more modest as it seeks to land humans on the Moon's surface by 2026. To claim the existence of a space race often takes away the nuances of national ambitions and achievable goals. As policy wonks, therefore, we must be wary of catchy yet flawed narratives,Matsyanyaaya #1: Where Knowledge is Free and Accessible to All— Bharath ReddyA White House directive on 25th August requires agencies to update their public access policies as soon as possible to provide open access to taxpayer-funded publications and research. The move is expected to broaden access to research and yield significant benefits to the public on issues ranging from climate change to cancer research to protecting civil liberties in an automated world. This directive not only makes scientific research more accessible to the broader research community, it could also have implications for research funded by Indian taxpayers. This White House directive overrides a 2013 directive which required federal agencies with an annual grant greater than $100 million to make their research publicly available. The 2013 directive also allowed for a year-long embargo on the research and accompanying data. As expected, scientific journals use embargos to create exclusive access to research and gain subscriptions. Academics would also prefer to publish their research in journals with a better impact factor, which is a measure of the number of times an average article in the journal has been cited. The new directive expands the scope to all agencies receiving federal funding and ends the optional embargo.This move is expected to radically transform access to research and has been praised by open research advocates and the research community. The New York Times quotes Mr Tanenbaum of the Open Research Funders Group as saying the policy “broadens the circle of science. It broadens the conversation”. This move could, however, have a significant impact on the current revenue models of journals. It would force them to look at alternative sources of revenue, which might significantly increase article processing costs. Publishing research in journals has been the conventional approach of communicating research. Journals operate on a subscription-based model. They charge hefty amounts from authors for publication and are only accessible by those who pay the significant subscription charges. These paywalled articles pose a significant cost barrier, and the costs can add up when referencing dozens of articles for a paper. Many people will end up not having access to such research unless they are part of a large institution that pays for a subscription to most of the journals. Studies have shown that across disciplines, freely available articles have a greater research impact. In addition, it is unethical that the fruits of the research funded by taxpayer money should not be accessible to the public. The trend has been changing, with more research being published in online open-access journals. Open access requires granting all users an unrestricted, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of access with a licence to copy, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly and digital publication in at least one open access repository. Awareness and momentum around open access to research has been growing globally with many institutions across USA and Europe adopting open access policies.India has had a policy on open access to the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and Department of Science and Technology(DST) funded research since late 2014. Per this policy, any research partially or fully funded by DBT or DST or performed on infrastructure built with the support of these organisations should be made available in open access repositories maintained by their institutions or those maintained by DBT and DST. If the research is published prior in a journal that insists on an embargo, the policy recommends that the period of the embargo should not exceed one year. While this policy is laudable in terms of its intent, the implementation and impact have been poor. This can be attributed to poor state capacity and non-alignment of the journal and academic incentives. With the reforms imposed by the White House directive, the incentives and revenue models of the journals are expected to change significantly. This precedent could have a positive impact on Indian taxpayer-funded research as well. The MHRD must take the initiative to expand the open access policy to all government-funded research. In addition to setting up national open access repositories, high-quality open journals should also be set up in multiple disciplines to provide a credible platform for academics to publish their research. The journal editorial board should include renowned academics from around the world and be granted operational independence to ensure the quality of the research being published. The platform should not be restricted only to Indian research but must welcome excellent research from across the world. Over time the costs incurred will yield returns by providing broad access to research but also in nurturing and growing the research community.These timeless lines by Tagore can guide us, “Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, where knowledge is free”, “Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake”.Matsyanyaaya #2: How can India use Technology as a Strategic Tool to Advance its Interests?— Arjun GargeyasIn the current Information Age, technology has become a ubiquitous part of every country's society. Citizens are empowered in a wide range of ways with improved access to technology, states' economic sectors are transitioning into the digital space, and tech development has been outpacing regulations and governance regularly. This is the era where technology is becoming a strategic tool for the state to drive growth and protect its interests. India, as a fledgling and rising technological power has the ability to leverage technology for the greater good. As seen from the past two decades, tech has simplified policy decisions and has improved the quality of governance in the country. The questions on accessibility, inclusion and levelling the playing field have been bridged by the use of technology to a certain extent. The Indian state should now start viewing technology and its adoption from a more strategic lens. But how can India use ‘technology' to tackle existing problems as well as try to deploy it as a prospective solution in key areas of governance?India's Technology Assets Frontier Areas of Expertise and Scale - India must focus on identifying and building on certain technology areas where it has made and can make a significant global impact. This can aid its technology exports and help expand its international digital and technological footprint. Low-cost telecommunication operations, renewable energy systems, and digital payment frameworks can serve as model areas that India can use as soft power tools in the technology sphere.Skilled Labour Workforce in Multiple Domains - India should look to leverage the presence of the abundant domestic human capital in the country to create a strong workforce in specific technology areas that might prove to be critically important in the near future. The availability of low-cost labour must be used to persuade technologically advanced states to look at the Indian workforce as a contributing partner to some labour-intensive supply chains. Semiconductor design and IT services are areas that continue to require large pools of human resources, and India's workforce has proven to be competent in these fields.A Notable Presence in International Technology Supply Chains - Though a rising technological power, India has become essential in key areas of the high-technology realm. Other states depend considerably on India for certain technology supply chains because of its comparative advantages and expertise in specific processes. This must be used to India's strategic advantage and to ensure it remains a factor in the international technology trade ecosystem.Research and Development The identification of critical technologies or key areas in technology supply chains to invest scientific and financial resources remains critical. The Indian state must consider extensive collaboration with the domestic private sector to enhance research and match global developments in specific strategic science and technology areas. This can eventually result in increased influence through a dominant domestic technology sector.The focus on promoting research in technology areas where India-specific solutions are needed and are unlikely to be addressed by the developed world can be prioritised. Encouraging the use of open-source technologies to promote innovation free from state intervention, technology oligopolies, and international politics can help in India's tech growth trajectory. This would make technology more accessible and more relevant to developmental challenges. Open-source technologies also serve as a counterweight to the dominance of Big Tech and aid technology sovereignty in an uncertain geopolitical climate. It can also bridge the trust deficit between the state and the citizens by addressing privacy and surveillance concerns.While gaining a foothold in technology product development can create a zero-sum game between two or more parties, the scientific knowledge in the field itself is a non-zero-sum game. The Indian state should prioritise improving the dissemination of technical expertise as part of its technology strategy.International CooperationThe Indian state should not favour isolationism especially in the field of technology development. The process of collaborating in high-technology areas to tackle the existing bottlenecks in several supply chains must be one of the sector's priorities. The principle of ‘plurilateralism being a necessity and not a choice' while dealing with critical and emerging technologies must be championed if India aims to become a leading tech power.Leading talks with fraternal multilateral groupings to build technological partnerships can be done. The Indian state should also engage in responsibilities such as improving technology-related trade, facilitating technology transfer agreements between participating states, and setting credible technology standards in critical and emerging technologies.A good example would be to move forward on the recently signed India-Europe Trade and Technology Council to build a robust technology trade infrastructure. The focus should be removing export controls on components related to critical technologies and reducing import tariffs for high-tech products.The Ministry of External Affairs must also take up a technology diplomacy approach to include science and technology as a source of outreach through appointed officials leading diplomatic conversations in the field.A non-discriminatory data-sharing framework between states so long as the data in question does not infringe on India's national security can allow India to be integrated digitally worldwide. This can include participation in multilateral technology data-sharing agreements if there are no compulsions to share critical data threatening its internal security and ensuring India's access to similar data from other signatories.Finally, the state can lead global efforts to set forth universally-acceptable and legally-binding instruments on technologies that threaten the safety and security of all states. A techno-democratic alliance that prevents the control of specific technologies by selective groups, especially those potentially impacting warfare and conflict and detrimental to international security, can be led by India and its diplomatic partners.Technology has become an integral aspect of international relations, foreign policy, military and defence in the recent past. As an aspiring world power, India should focus on utilising its strengths in the technological realm to advance its strategic interests. This would benefit both the Indian and society in the long run. Our Reading Menu[Book] The Red Rockets' Glare: Spaceflight and the Soviet Imagination, 1857-1957 by Asif A.

After standing down on today's Artemis I launch attempt when engineers could not overcome a hydrogen leak in a quick disconnect, an interface between the liquid hydrogen fuel feed line and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, mission managers met and decided they will forego additional launch attempts in early September. Over the next several days, teams will establish access to the area of the leak at Launch Pad 39B, and in parallel conduct a schedule assessment to provide additional data that will inform a decision on whether to perform work to replace a seal either at the pad, where it can be tested under cryogenic conditions, or inside the Vehicle Assembly Building. To meet the requirement by the Eastern Range for the certification on the flight termination system, currently set at 25 days, NASA will need to roll the rocket and spacecraft back to the VAB before the next launch attempt to reset the system's batteries. The flight termination system is required on all rockets to protect public safety. During today's launch attempt, engineers saw a leak in a cavity between the ground side and rocket side plates surrounding an 8-inch line used to fill and drain liquid hydrogen from the SLS rocket. Three attempts at reseating the seal were unsuccessful. While in an early phase of hydrogen loading operations called chilldown, when launch controllers cool down the lines and propulsion system prior to flowing super cold liquid hydrogen into the rocket's tank at minus 423 degrees F, an inadvertent command was sent that temporarily raised the pressure in the system. While the rocket remained safe and it is too early to tell whether the bump in pressurization contributed to the cause of the leaky seal, engineers are examining the issue. Because of the complex orbital mechanics involved in launching to the Moon, NASA would have had to launch Artemis I by Tuesday, Sept. 6 as part of the current launch period.

Following the Artemis I pre-launch briefing, meteorologists with the U.S. Space Force Space Launch Delta 45 predict a 60% chance of favorable weather conditions at the beginning of the two-hour launch window that opens at 2:17 p.m. EDT Sept 3, increasing to an 80% chance of favorable weather conditions toward the later part of the window. The primary weather concern for the two-hour launch window remains scattered rain showers. The weather guidelines for NASA's Artemis I flight test identify conditions to launch the agency's Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft. Teams will continue working their way through the countdown conducting planned health checks on SLS and Orion systems. The mission management team will meet early in the morning, Saturday, Sept. 3 and give the final determination for a “go” or “no-go” decision to begin tanking operations. The uncrewed flight test will test SLS and Orion as an integrated system, demonstrating the performance of the rocket and testing the spacecraft's capabilities as it journeys about 40,000 miles beyond the Moon over the course of about six weeks.

Contents: Background Initial delays Preparation Artemis 1 Artemis 1, officially Artemis I and formerly known as Exploration Mission-1, is a planned uncrewed Moon-orbiting mission and the first spaceflight in NASA's Artemis program. It is also the first flight of the agency's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the complete Orion spacecraft. The launch was originally scheduled for 29 August 2022, but technical difficulties and uncertainty about the weather forced a cancellation. The test flight launch has not yet been rescheduled. Artemis 1 will last for six weeks and will test all the rocket stages and spacecraft that would be used in later Artemis missions. After reaching orbit and performing a trans-lunar injection (burn to the Moon), the mission will deploy ten CubeSat satellites and the Orion spacecraft will enter a distant retrograde orbit for six days. The Orion spacecraft will then return and reenter the Earth's atmosphere, protected by its heat shield, and splash down in the Pacific Ocean. The original launch date of Artemis 1 was planned in December 2016, but it was delayed at least sixteen times due to technical issues with the SLS and the Orion spacecraft. Other factors contributing to the delays are the cost overruns (which is the main criticism of the SLS) and budget limits imposed by the federal government. After the Artemis 1 mission, Artemis 2 will perform a crewed lunar flyby and Artemis 3 will perform a crewed lunar landing, five decades after the last Apollo mission.

Interview with Dave Reynolds, NASA's Deputy Program Manager for SLS Booster SubsystemsIn this episode we'll discuss NASA's upcoming Artemis 1 mission, scheduled to launch no earlier than the end of this month. The Space Launch System rocket, or “SLS” will propel the Orion spacecraft on its mission around the Moon and back to Earth. Artemis 1 will be an uncrewed flight test that will travel farther than any other human-rated spacecraft has traveled before. This mission, the first of an increasing series of complex missions, will demonstrate NASA's capability to extend human existence to the Moon, and on to Mars.Joining me in this episode from NASA's Marshal Space Flight Center is Dave Reynolds, Deputy Program Manager for SLS Booster Subsystems. Artemis I Mission OverviewArtemis I is the first integrated test of NASA's deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the ground systems at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration and demonstrate our commitment and capability to return humans to the Moon and extend beyond.During this flight, Orion will launch atop the most powerful rocket in the world and fly farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. Over the course of the mission, it will travel 280,000 miles (450,000 kilometers) from Earth and 40,000 miles (64,000 kilometers) beyond the far side of the Moon. Orion will stay in space longer than any human spacecraft has without docking to a space station and return home faster and hotter than ever before.This first Artemis mission will demonstrate the performance of both Orion and the SLS rocket and test our capabilities to orbit the Moon and return to Earth. The flight will pave the way for future missions to the lunar vicinity, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the surface of the Moon.With Artemis I, NASA sets the stage for human exploration into deep space, where astronauts will build and begin testing the systems near the Moon needed for lunar surface missions and exploration to other destinations farther from Earth, including Mars. With Artemis, NASA will collaborate with industry and international partners to establish long-term exploration for the first time.For more information visit Nasa.gov/artemis-1Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

This week, NASA has announced that they are moving towards the first launch attempt for the Artemis I mission with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft currently in the Vehicle Assembly Building at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA is currently targeting launch for no earlier than Monday, Aug. 29, at 8:33 a.m. EDT during a 2 hour window!!!!! So, Dean and Beth dig right in to the who, what, where, when, why and how of NASA's Space Launch System on this week's episode of the Casual Space Podcast! NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) is the world's most powerful rocket and the backbone of NASA's human lunar exploration program (check out this reference guide ASAP: https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/sls_reference_guide_2022_v2_508_0.pdf). No other rocket can send astronauts and the Orion spacecraft directly to the Moon for the Artemis missions. SLS provides an unmatched capability to deliver greater mass and volume than any current launch vehicle for both human and robotic exploration of the Moon, Mars, and the outer planets. SLS was established by the NASA Authorization Act of 2010. The program was created at Marshall in 2011 and received funding in FY2012. SLS is the world's first exploration-class launch vehicle since the Apollo Program's Saturn V. Along with SLS, NASA's Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate in the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate is developing the EGS and the Orion spacecraft for crew. Orion, managed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, is a spacecraft designed to carry astronauts on exploration missions into deep space. EGS has converted facilities at Kennedy into a next-generation spaceport capable of supporting launches by multiple types of vehicles.

About NASA's Moon to Mars plans: https://www.nasa.gov/specials/moon2mars/Credit: NASAThe Artemis program is organized around a series of Space Launch System (SLS) missions. These space missions will increase in complexity and are scheduled to occur at intervals of a year or more. NASA and its partners have planned Artemis I through Artemis V missions; later Artemis missions have also been proposed. Each SLS mission centers on the launch of an SLS booster carrying an Orion spacecraft. Missions after Artemis II will depend on support missions launched by other organizations and spacecraft for support functions.Artemis I (2022) will be an uncrewed test of the SLS and Orion, and is the first test flight for both craft.[b] The goal of the Artemis I mission will be to place Orion into a lunar orbit, and then return it to Earth. The SLS will use the ICPS second stage, which will perform the trans-lunar injection burn to send Orion to lunar space. Orion will brake into a retrograde distant lunar orbit and remain for about six days before boosting back toward Earth. The Orion capsule will separate from its service module, re-enter the atmosphere for aerobraking, and splash down under parachutes. Artemis 1 was originally scheduled for late 2021, but the launch date has been pushed back to no earlier than August 2022.Artemis II (2024) will be the first crewed test flight of SLS and the Orion spacecraft. The four crew members will perform extensive testing in Earth orbit and Orion will then be boosted into a free-return trajectory around the Moon, which will return Orion back to Earth for re-entry and splashdown.Artemis III (2025) will be a crewed lunar landing. The mission depends on a support mission to place a Human Landing System (HLS) in place in a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) of the Moon prior to the launch of SLS/Orion. After HLS reaches NRHO, SLS/Orion will send the Orion spacecraft with a crew of four, which is intended to include the first woman and the first person of color to land on the Moon, to rendezvous and dock with HLS.[c] Two astronauts will transfer to HLS, which will descend to the lunar surface and spend about 6.5 days on the surface. The astronauts will perform at least two EVAs on the surface before the HLS ascends to return them to a rendezvouGlobal Admissions Apply to universities online ____________________________________________________________Check out more episodes and subscribe on 2030school.com You can also email us at rich@2030school.com

News: NASA Solar Sail Spacecraft to Chase Tiny Asteroid After Artemis I Launch | SciTechDaily (01:25) Launching with the Artemis I uncrewed test flight, NASA's shoebox-size Near-Earth Asteroid Scout will chase down what will become the smallest asteroid ever to be visited by a spacecraft. The asteroid being targeted is, 2020 GEnear-Earth asteroid (NEA) that is less than 60 feet (18 meters) in size Asteroids smaller than 330 feet (100 meters) across have never been explored up close before. The spacecraft will use its science camera to get a closer look, measuring the object's size, shape, rotation, and surface properties. It will ride as one of 10 secondary payloads aboard the powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which will launch no earlier than March 2022. After it is dispensed in space it will use stainless steel alloy booms to unfurl a solar sail that will expand from a small package to a sail about the size of a racquetball court, or 925 square feet (86 square meters).Will generate thrust by reflecting solar photons – quantum particles of light radiating from the Sun Sunlight acts as a constant force, so a tiny spacecraft equipped with a large solar sail can eventually travel many miles per second. Maneuver by tipping and tilting its sail to change the angle of sunlight The mission will act as a nimble scout for future human and robotic missions that may utilize asteroid resources – and will gain important planetary defense insights about this class of NEA. Julie Castillo-Rogez, the mission's principal science investigator, provides insight as to why looking at even small asteroids are important:“Although large asteroids are of most concern from a planetary defense perspective, objects like 2020 GE are far more common and can pose a hazard to our planet, despite their smaller size.” Altos bursts out of stealth with $3B, a dream team C-suite and a wildly ambitious plan to reverse disease | FierceBiotech (08:11) Early details of Altos leaked out last year when MIT Technology Review reported Jeff Bezos had invested to support development of technology that could “revitalize entire animal bodies, ultimately prolonging human life.” The official reveal fleshes out the vision in more detail Hal Barron, M.D, the future CEO of Altos, provided a statement on the company:“It's clear from work by Shinya Yamanaka, and many others since his initial discoveries, that cells have the ability to rejuvenate, resetting their epigenetic clocks and erasing damage from a myriad of stressors. These insights, combined with major advances in a number of transformative technologies, inspired Altos to reimagine medical treatments where reversing disease for patients of any age is possible.” Yamanaka is a 2012 Nobel Prize winner for the discovery of the ‘Yamanaka factors' — four transcription factors (Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4) that can reprogram cells to roll back cellular aging and repair tissues. Altos is bringing in the biggest names in life sciences to staff out their C level positions at the company. The team will use $3 billion in capital committed by investors to turn breakthroughs in our understanding of cellular rejuvenation into transformational medicines. Co-founder, Rick Klausner, M.D., stated in a press release:"Remarkable work over the last few years beginning to quantify cellular health and the mechanisms behind that, coupled with the ability to effectively and safely reprogram cells and tissues via rejuvenation pathways, opens this new vista into the medicine of the future. Altos begins with many of the leading scientists who are creating this new science. Together, we are building a company where many of the world's best scientists can collaborate internally and externally and develop their research with the speed, mission, and focus of private enterprise. Our success will depend upon a culture of intense collaboration, enthusiasm, and openness." David Baltimore, PhD, a board member provided a positive goal Altos is shooting for:“The goal of Altos will be to reverse the ravages of disease and aging that lead to disability and death, reinvigorating and extending the quality of life. Altos will provide an unparalleled environment for collaborative discovery and has already attracted a most impressive group of investigators to the daunting task of reversing ill health and taking medicine in a new direction.” Patient-specific spinal model may predict the effect of disc implants | New Atlas (16:28) As people get older, the intervertebral discs in their spine tend to deteriorate, some of which end up being surgically replaced with implants. Who doesn't know someone that has a bad back? A new patient-specific spinal model by scientists at Florida Atlantic University, could help determine how successful such surgery will be. Process:Obtain a CT scan of a patient's spine Create a 3D computer model from the scan Produce a 3D-printed model of one section of the spine with a cervical disc implant already in place Utilize a robotic arm to flex and extend the spinal replica, simulating five different real-life spinal postures Sensors then monitored the manner in which the added implant was causing stress to be distributed throughout the spine. The setup was found to be 100 percent accurate at replicating the effects that the postures would have on the real spine, with the addition of the implanted disc. Once developed further, the technology could be used to determine what sort of implant and/or surgical technique would work best, before the surgery is performed. Additionally, simulations could provide information as to what movements are best while recovering from the surgery. Intel Is Investing $20 Billion Towards a Massive New Semiconductor Plant | Interesting Engineering (21:10) According to a Reuters report, Intel is set to invest $20 billion into a massive new semiconductor chip manufacturing site near Columbus, Ohio. All coincides with a recent analysis informing that China is "three or four generations" away from being at the cutting edge of semiconductor production. Chipmakers worldwide are frantically trying to boost output amid the global chip shortage brought on by massive demand and supply chain disruption fueled by the pandemic. Intel's new investment will go towards building two new semiconductor manufacturing plants, bringing 3,000 new permanent jobs to the 1,000-acre site in Albany, OhioThe first step in building an eight-factory complex that could cost additional tens of billions of dollars. Intel also recently announced plans for another U.S. campus site that would begin construction before the end of the year.The new site, according to reports, could cost $100 billion and eventually employ 10,000 people. Elon Musk's brain chip firm Neuralink lines up clinical trials in humans | The Guardian (27:10) The billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's brain chip startup is preparing to launch clinical trials in humans. This is stemming from a job post for Neuralink for a “Clinical Trial Director.” What is mentioned in this post?“As the clinical trial director, you'll work closely with some of the most innovative doctors and top engineers, as well as working with Neuralink's first clinical trial participants …. You will lead and help build the team responsible for enabling Neuralink's clinical research activities and developing the regulatory interactions that come with a fast-paced and ever-evolving environment.” Just last month, Elon Musk, mentioned his optimism in allowing quadriplegics to move again:“We hope to have this in our first humans, which will be people that have severe spinal cord injuries like tetraplegics, quadriplegics, next year, pending FDA approval … I think we have a chance with Neuralink to restore full-body functionality to someone who has a spinal cord injury. Neuralink's working well in monkeys, and we're actually doing just a lot of testing and just confirming that it's very safe and reliable and the Neuralink device can be removed safely.” The company is also recruiting for a “clinical trial coordinator” to help build a team of people to run the trial and liaise with regulators. These applicants, according to the posting, have an “opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and the most talented experts from different fields”.

This week we are excited to welcome Dr. Scott Bellamy to the WSH. Scott is the Mission Manager for NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission which successfully launched in the early morning hours from Vandenberg atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on November 24, 2021. Scott Bellamy is one of the Mission Managers in the Planetary Missions Program Office (PMPO) at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), Huntsville, AL. Presently, Scott is responsible for day-to-day oversight of the Europa Clipper flagship mission, as well as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission. DART's mission is to conduct a real-life experiment in changing an asteroid's orbit through kinetic impact. In late September 2022, DART will intercept the moonlet (i.e., Dimorphos,) of the asteroid Didymos — a binary system — and slow Dimorphos' orbit by up to 10 minutes. DART is the first-ever mission of this type and is sponsored by NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office. Europa Clipper, on the other hand, will launch in October 2024 to perform a detailed exploration of Jupiter's ocean-world moon, Europa. This mission will provide priceless information on the thickness and composition of the ice shell to possibly enable a future mission to land a probe on Europa and search for microbial life. Prior to these missions, Scott was simultaneously the Mission Manager for another project that we at CosmoQuest hold near-and-dear to our hearts, the Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission to obtain and return the first-ever United States asteroid sample; the NASA Evolutionary Xenon Thruster–Commercial (NEXT-C) project providing DART's primary propulsion; and the Near Earth Object Surveyor (NEO Surveyor) mission to provide the capability for detecting low-observable asteroids. Scott originally came to Marshall Space Flight Ccenter as the Air Force Liaison Office in 2008 and afterwards retired with over 25 years of service. He then served in several roles, including being a member of the very small team that shaped what later became the Space Launch System (SLS), before joining the Planetary Missions Program Office in 2013. **************************************** The Weekly Space Hangout is a production of CosmoQuest.

Joe Cassady is Executive Director of Space Programs in the Washington DC Operations for Aerojet Rocketdyne. Joe and the AR team help to plan human missions to the Moon and Mars, helping to develop the strategy and architectures for future space and launch systems. Joe and Beth met at the NASA Stennis Space Center and the NASA Michoud Assembly Center in New Orleans for the NASA Artemis Day celebration. Together, Beth and Joe geek out about rocket engines and what it takes to get us to the Moon and Mars and beyond. They discuss the different types of rockets, types of propulsion systems, how building rocket engines is a kind of architecture, and working to shorten the transit time of getting to the places we want to go in space. Learn what the GREEN RUN test is coming up, and why it’s another HUGE milestone in our journey toward our return to the moon. What surprises people most when it comes to rocket engines? Find out all this and more on this episode with Joe! Beth’s favorite quote from Joe on the podcast: “Literally, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of companies are involved- many are small companies that are our suppliers…they’re the real lifeblood of things like this and they are very proud of it. Being able to go out, and go across the country and say to people, ‘The road to Mars and the road back to the Moon starts here, in your town. You’re part of this’. It’s really exciting. More great stuff from Joe: “We’re able to use what we learned on the Space Shuttle Program- some of the very engines themselves on a fleet of orbiters that flew three of the RS-25s that gave us an inventory of engines! Rather than keeping them on the orbiters that went to museums, they removed the flight engines and we’ll be using them for the first few Artemis missions! We went back an equipped them with a new brain, and electronic controller…it’s really neat to see them be available to the nation to get us on this path in an accelerated way. “I’m looking forward to the day we put those boots back on the Moon, and I’m really really looking forward to seeing the first steps taken on the surface of Mars.” About Joe Cassady is Aerojet Rocketdyne's Executive Director for Space in the company’s Washington Operations.

In 2011, the storied Space Shuttle flew for the last time. Three spacecraft survive in retirement as specimens in museums around the country. But the program isn't dead yet: Many of its parts are popping up as zombie components in spacecraft now in development. Modified left-over Shuttle engines will power NASA's delayed Space Launch System (SLS), a giant launch vehicle intended for lunar missions and, eventually, Mars.

News: Elon Musk is prepping for Mars SpaceX announced that they are building the first Mars, or interplanetary ship, and they think we'll be able to do short trips and flights by early 2019 NEXT YEAR!! Their original plan was to send a cargo ship to Mars in 2022, thus making these test flights. SpaceX's BFR rocket system is expected to travel to other planets, and be fully reusable AND a flight will cost less than the initial Falcon 1 flights, which Musk estimated in the $5 to $6 million range. He hopes if BFR launches, others will believe Mars travel is possible, and follow suit. Musk noted that as soon as all of the necessities for life are installed on Mars "then really the explosion of entrepreneurial opportunity [will begin], because Mars will need everything from iron foundries to pizza joints.” NASA is sending another lander to Mars! InSight, (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport), is a Mars lander designed to measure the inside of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core. NASA will be launching InSight from Vandenberg Air Force Base on May 5th as the first planetary mission launched from the West Coast! Today’s Topic: The Future of Humans on Mars Mars 2020 Rover Launch: July/August 2020 Landing: February 2021 Mission Duration: At least 1 Mars Year (687 Earth Days) 4 Science Goals Determine whether life ever arose on Mars Characterize the Climate of Mars Characterize the Geology of Mars Prepare for Human Exploration To support these goals, Mars 2020 has 4 Science Objectives Determine Habitable Environments Seek signs and biosignatures of past life Collect rock and Soil samples and store them on MArs Test Oxygen Production from the Martian atmosphere The atmosphere is 96% Carbon Dioxide. Mars 2020 will test technology (MOXIE- Mars Oxygen ISRU Experimaent) to extract the oxygen for humans to breathe. Potential Landing Sites Gusev Crater (goo-sev) Jezero Crater Northeast Syrtis (seer-tis) NASA’s Journey to Mars NASA is on a journey to Mars with a goal to humans there by 2030s. We’ve actually already started this process with satellites, rovers, private companies, international cooperation and Mars 2020. NASA has classified this journey into 3 thresholds: Earth Reliant Proving Ground Earth Independant Earth Reliant ISS operation through 2024 Commercial development of Low Earth Orbit Development of deep space systems, life support, and human health ISS, Orion… Proving Ground (Cislunar space) Regular crewed missions and spacewalks in cislunar space ISS is hours away from home, cislunar space is days, Mars is months Verify deep space habitation The first of these missions will launch NASA's powerful new rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS). The mission will carry the Orion spacecraft (without astronauts) thousands of miles beyond the moon during an approximately three week mission. Then, astronauts will climb into Orion for a similar mission, traveling farther than humans have ever traveled before. Also in the 2020s, we'll send astronauts on a yearlong mission into this deep space proving ground, verifying habitation and testing our readiness for Mars. Earth Independant Demonstrate Entry, Descent, landing and ISRU Conduct robotic round trip with sample return in late 2020s Send humans to orbit Mars in the early 2030s How has Trump changed any of this? On Dec. 11, Trump signed Space Policy Directive 1, a document that shifts U.S. policy, directing NASA to land astronauts on the moon before sending them on to the Red Planet. "This time, we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprint, we will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars," Trump said at the event. President Trump said Thursday that he wanted to "top" President John F. Kennedy's ambitions to send a man to the moon by pursuing a trip to Mars. "We're looking at Mars, by the way," Trump said. "Trying to top [Kennedy]. We're going to get there. It's moving along pretty good. A lot of things have happened ... having to do with that subject. Way ahead of schedule." So… in his 2019 budget request The Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway (LOP-G) is a concept for a crew-tended cislunar space station led by: ESA, NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA and CSA. Formerly known as the Deep Space Gateway, the station was renamed in NASA's proposal for the 2019 United States federal budget. The station would be used as a staging point for the proposed Deep Space Transport, which is a concept of a reusable vehicle that uses electric and chemical propulsion and would be specifically designed for crewed missions to destinations such as Mars. This is the new Proving Ground
