Were you inspired by "Star Trek" (or one of its innumerable spinoffs) as a young person? We know we were, so it was a pleasure to invite Glen Swanson, author of the new Star Trek history book "Inspired Enterprise" onto the show. We've all heard lore about the original series, but Swanson, who was previously the Chief Historian at the Johnson Space Center, used his prodigious skills to perform a deep dive into the topic. From Gene Roddenberry's original inspiration to working with Caltech, the RAND Corporation, and NASA; and on to the design of the good ship Enterprise itself (and the very popular AMT models that followed), this book provides everything you need to know to be a certified Trekker.

Snow on the moon? Yes, though not recently... but maybe billions of years ago. Recent discoveries indicate that the early moon, orbiting just 20,000 miles above our planet at the time, may have shared a dynamic magnetic field with that of the Earth, resulting in the moon having an early atmosphere about twice as dense as the Martian atmosphere is today! This has wide implications for planetary science, but perhaps our favorite is that it may have snowed both carbon dioxide and water ice on the moon back in the day. We're also talking about the amazing launch and recovery of New Glenn, the plight of the Chinese taikonauts aboard the Tiangong space station, and a recent SpaceX memo about—no surprises here—a delay to their lunar landing program for Artemis III.

Episode 212 - Navigating Work-Family Balance - Tools for Modern FathersIn this episode of Dad's Space Podcast, host explores the real challenges dads face in balancing work and family life. Reflecting on long commutes, demanding jobs, and emotional disconnect, we question if true work-life balance exists or if "work-life harmony" is a more realistic goal. The conversation dives into the struggles of transitioning from work mode to being fully present as a dad, redefining what it means to be a provider beyond just financial support, and the importance of embracing small daily moments at home to build meaningful connections with family. Practical strategies, such as a simple five-minute mental shift to switch gears, are shared to help dads thrive both at work and at home.Key Topics CoveredThe myth of work-life balance versus the reality of work-life harmonyThe emotional toll of long commutes and being physically distant from familyRedefining "provider" as presence and emotional availability, not just financial supportChallenges in mentally transitioning from work responsibilities to being a present dadThe importance of small, everyday moments for building trust and emotional closeness with kidsPractical tools and mindset shifts to help modern dads manage stress and improve family connectionInsights on the pressures and expectations faced by dads in 2025, including cultural shifts toward self-employment and work flexibilityKey Quotes from the Episode"I don't want to be a resource for my family. I want to be a provider.""There is no work-life balance when you're physically two hours away from home. It's just work, then family.""It's not about extravagant trips or toys. It's about being genuinely present in the little moments."Calls to ActionReflect on your own transition ritual from work mode to dad mode. What helps you switch gears?Commit to daily check-ins and being fully present with your family whenever you are homeShare your work-life harmony tips with the host to foster a supportive community of dadshttps://movember.com/___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

As you may or may not know, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is in the administration's crosshairs. With cuts to their budget and staffing beginning under Elon Musk's DOGE, it has taken a different form with the government shutdown. Employees furloughed or retired from critical programs, laboratories shuttered, and entire facilities gutted--all without the approval of Congress. By the time the shutdown is over, NASA's primary research center--and the one most responsible for what many are now calling "the C-word," climate science--will be a shell of its former self. Josh Dinner, who recently completed a months-long investigative report, joins us. Also: Jared Isaacman is back in the running as NASA chief, the 25th anniversary of the ISS, and China now working with the US on orbital dangers. Headlines: Trump Renominates Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief, Sparking Political Drama 25 Years of Continuous Astronaut Presence on the International Space Station China Initiates Rare Satellite Collision Avoidance With NASA Apollo-Era Radio Telescope That Spied on Soviet Satellites Up for Sale Mars ESCAPADE Missions Twin Probes Prepare for Launch on New Glenn Rocket Main Topic: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Crisis Goddard Hit by Accelerated Building Closures and Funding Cuts NASA Employees and Lawmakers Accuse Agency Leadership of Breaking the Law Climate Science and Political Motives at the Core of Goddard's Struggles Union Power Stripped After NASA's Reclassification as National Security Agency High-Profile Missions Like Hubble, the Nancy Roman Space Telescope, and LISA Facing Uncertainty Loss of Talent and Institutional Knowledge Threatens Future Space Projects Congress and the Public Urged to Support, But Outlook Remains Grim Could New Leadership Reverse the Changes Brought to Goddard, or Reinforce Goddard's Decline?

If you ever saw the IMAX spectacular, "The Dream is Alive," you've seen astronaut Terry Hart in action, capturing the Solar Max satellite with the shuttle's robotic arm. But even if you missed that film, Terry has had a fascinating career as an Air Force pilot, NASA astronaut, senior leadership at Bell Labs (more than once!), and as an academic and creator of a new aerospace engineering program at Lehigh University. Join us for an enjoyable hour with one of our favorite guys. Also, is Jared Isaacman back as the new NASA Administrator? Will the Orion capsule soon be used for non-NASA missions? And what's going on with the layoffs at the Jet Propulsion Lab? All this and more on This Week in Space. Headlines: Jared Isaacman Back in the Running for NASA Administrator Lockheed Martin Considers Launching Orion on Rockets Other Than SLS JPL Hit Hard by Layoffs and Uncertainty Amid NASA Budget Woes Main Topic: Astronaut Terry Hart's Career, Space Shuttle Missions, and NASA's Evolution Terry Hart Recaps a Multifaceted Aerospace Career from Bell Labs to NASA Behind the Scenes of the IMAX Film "The Dream is Alive" and Shooting in Space In-Depth Look at STS-41C: First Shuttle Rendezvous, Satellite Repair, and Pioneering On-Orbit Servicing Long Duration Space Experiments and the Legacy of LDEF Reflections on Challenger, Shuttle Risks, and Safety Culture in Human Spaceflight The Ongoing Shift from NASA-Led Programs to Private Spaceflight Industry Preparing the Next Generation: Aerospace Education and Lehigh University's New Graduate Program Insights on Space Bees, Life Aboard the Shuttle, and Visions for the Future of Space Manufacturing Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Terry Hart Download or subscribe to This Week in Space at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.
