By the late 1950s, John F. Kennedy was a rich and handsome Democratic senator with a beautiful wife and young family, heading for the White House despite his Catholicism, his affairs and his secret illnesses. In January 1961 he became the youngest ever President of the United States, during a period of heightened political and social tensions at home and abroad, with the Cold War raging, communism on the rise and the Civil Rights Movement dominating the headlines. What role, then, did Kennedy's domestic and foreign policies play in these monumental moments of world history? And does the backlash against him offer us the crucial clues to the motives behind his assassination, and the identity of his killer?  Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss Kennedy's early political career, the successes and failings of his presidency, and world-shaking events such as the Bay of Pigs disaster, the Cuban missile crisis, the Space Race and the Vietnam War. All the while, Kennedy's days are numbered as that fateful day in Dallas comes ever closer… *Dominic's book The Fall of the Aztecs is available now from bookshops across the UK - the perfect Christmas present!* Twitter:  @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

The New York Times has called Rick Prelinger “one of the great, undersung historians of 20th century cinema.” But the Bay Area-based archivist isn't known for books on Chaplin or Bergman. Instead, Rick and partner Megan Prelinger collect the film history of everyday life: home movies, industrial films, studio outtakes and other works that would otherwise be lost or forgotten. The duo may be best known for the free movies they make available through the Internet Archive digital library. And locally, they've gained a following for their “Lost Landscapes” film project, a compilation of historic Bay Area footage from their archives. We'll talk to Rick and Megan about the 18th and latest installment of “Lost Landscapes”, entitled “City and Bay in Motion: Transportation and Communication.” Guests: Rick Prelinger, founder, Prelinger Archives, whose moving image holdings may be found online at archive.org; co-founder, Prelinger Library, a publicly-available collection of historical periodicals, books, print ephemera, maps and government documents Megan Prelinger, co-founder, Prelinger Library; co-director, Prelinger Archives film digitization project. Prelinger is also the author of the books Another Science Fiction: Advertising the Space Race 1957–1962 and Inside the Machine: Art and Invention in the Electronic Age

In a Special Encore Episode of Rising Tide we revisit our June 2022 talk with the late Ocean Pioneer, Don Walsh, who passed away on Nov. 12 at the age of 92.  In 1960 he and Jacque Picard became the first humans to reach the deepest part of the ocean – almost 7 miles down in the Challenger Deep. He talks about that journey and its near disaster, why ocean exploration didn't go the way of the Space Race, and also gives his unvarnished take on deep-sea mining and other ocean issues.  So here again, Don Walsh!Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast, is a compelling platform that delves into the vast realms of ocean and climate science, conservation, and exploration featuring experts, scientists, mariners and explorers. Each half hour episode navigates through insightful discussions on marine life, and the critical issues affecting our seas. Informative, educational and humorous it is a valuable resource for anyone passionate about understanding and preserving our ocean world.

With only one week until the first 60th anniversary Doctor Who special hits our tv screens, we go back ten years to the 50th anniversary and the 1963 Trilogy. Three stories centred around that very special year in Doctor Who history. The stories titles are 1963: Fanfare for the Common Men, 1963: The Space Race and 1963: The Assassination Games. As a special treat, we are joined by each of the authors, Eddie Robson, Jonathan Morris and John Dorney, who discuss their work.

We dive right into the intricacies of real estate investing, with a front-row seat to our learnings from note expo and what AI is doing. Listening to Damon West, a former footballer and sentenced to life in prision and now a best-selling author, was inspirational. We also indulge in some light-hearted banter about East Coast timezone differences during daylight savings and Richard's amusing encounters with whales and hummingbirds. As we journey on, we draw parallels between the cumbersome process of manually filing paperwork with the county recorder and the ease of accomplishing tasks online in the digital era. Discover how AI is fundamentally altering real estate procedures such as buying lists, creating renderings, and streamlining complex tasks. We delve into the implications of AI replacing mundane tasks, and how it can potentially alter human interactions. We extend the conversation to AI's influence over a spectrum of industries, focusing primarily on real estate. From pre-operation building mapping, loan package analysis, to extracting information from documents, AI is genuinely the game-changer. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of caution when integrating AI into business operations.

Ashlee Vance visits Google to discuss his latest book “When the Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach.” With the launch of SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket in 2008, Silicon Valley began to realize that the universe itself was open for business. Now, Ashlee Vance tells the remarkable, unfolding story of this frenzied intergalactic land grab by following four pioneering companies—Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs, and Rocket Lab—as they build new space systems and attempt to launch rockets and satellites into orbit by the thousands. With the public fixated on space tourism being driven by the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson, these new, scrappy companies arrived with a different set of goals: to make rocket and satellite launches fast and cheap, thereby opening Earth's lower orbit for business. Through immersive and intimate reporting, this book reveals the spectacular chaos of the new business of space, and what happens when the idealistic, ambitious minds of Silicon Valley turn their unbridled vision toward the limitless expanse of the stars.

In the 18th century the world was focused on Venus. Expeditions were launched in pursuit of exact measurements of Venus as it passed between Earth and the Sun. By viewing its journey and location on the Sun's surface, scientists hoped to make a massive leap in scientific knowledge. With a little help from math, Scientist in Residence Regina G. Barber recounts how humanity came closer to understanding our cosmic address — and relative distances to other planets — in the solar system.

Michael and Kegan sit down with Nate Pack to discuss this year's annual Space Race, which occurs on New Years Eve. Previous editions include a 24-hour Assault Bike challenge in teams of three (580 miles was the final 'winning' score), 12-hour Dante's Triathlon (ski, row, bike 50-40-30-20-10 calories repeated in teams fo 3 or 4 depending on total weight of the team), and a 6-hour 40/400 AMRAP (40 calories plus 400m run) done solo. Continuing to cut total time by 50% would obviously lead to a 3-hour event and no one saw the point in that — the goal must be challenging and difficult enough to cause change or adaptation if that is what one seeks. And the power of having a date or deadline for performance, and people to do it with should not be underestimated.Once the structure of this year's event was determined they delve into the psychological (and physical) limitations of truly hard effort, the challenges of different time domains, and how most people never actually work hard but believe they do. Nate also discusses his impressions of the Capacity manual and the eight-week progression proposed therein ... and how ‘simple' is much harder to abide than we imagine. Within this context they cover the various interval structures and training styles that helped develop them into the athletes they are today.Finally, Michael declares, "You have to rewrite what your brain thinks is hard in order to do something harder ..." and drops the mic. 

Over the course of his career with NASA, legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin changed the course of human history. From his groundbreaking work with EVA techniques to his walk on the moon with Apollo 11 mission commander Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin has seen and done astonishing things. In 2018, news outlets claimed Buzz Aldrin had one more astonishing achievement under his belt, an event kept secret until the modern day: Apparently, he had seen a UFO in space. They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oh my Maria, was she the most beautiful girl in China Grove? Even though I was a bit of a ramblin' man, she still loves me like a rock. Whether I was off on that midnight train to Georgia, or on that Rocky Mountain way seeking higher ground, I always kept her photograph close to my heart. She stuck by me through my indiscretions, even those with that lady Angie. Somewhere in those travels, I began to appreciate the love I lost and realized that at home, I had been on the top of the world, close enough to be knockin' on heaven's door.

The private space sector is growing tremendously. The industry's consensus leader, SpaceX, headed by outspoken billionaire Elon Musk, is today worth an estimated $74 billion. And SpaceX and its chief competitors, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, are taking on more roles—flying cargo, supplies, and astronauts to outer space. Space Race 2.0 tells their story with expertly written text by science journalist Brad Bergan and stunning photography of the spacecraft, key players, and facilities in California, Texas, and Florida. Brad Bergan is a writer and executive editor in New York. His words have appeared in or on VICE, the National Book Critics Circle, The World Economic Forum, nft now, NBC News, Business Insider, and elsewhere. Brad is the author of the book "Space Race 2.0, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, NASA and the Privatization of the Final Frontier.” Space Race 2.0 is the only authoritative photographic history of the efforts of private companies—often alongside NASA—to accelerate humankind's exploration and understanding of the final frontier.

In a way I'm just impatient -- while the raw power of the fully integrated Starship or NASA's SLS are impressive, we have the means to expedite the development of more efficient and speedier means of interplanetary travel, like NASA's nuclear thermal rocket engine -- so, since we can't send humans to extrasolar worlds or the vast distances of interstellar space, I enjoy learning how our understanding of those distant places is evolving (e.g., JWST finding galaxies fully formed far earlier in the universe's life than previously thought possible). But, put simply, I like.. - flagship missions of NASA's to the outer planets, and the deepening of our understanding about the formation of the solar system, and the possibility of life on Europa, Enceladus, etc - Ambitious, Spartan-like plans to put humans on new worlds, like Robert Zubrin's Mars Direct/Indirect - Speculating what the world will be like once space commerce becomes a multi-trillion dollar industry. - Reflecting on the incongruities of narratives about space -- like how commercial space travel is framed as a collective, public effort, when science and the will of the people will continue to take a back seat to the interests of corporations. What books/ projects/ activities/ events have you been a part of that you would like to mention on the show? - First book, "Space Race 2.0," dropped late last year. - Second book, "SpaceX: Elon Musk & the Final Frontier" dropping in 2024 (preorders open!) https://www.quarto.com/books/9780760384015/spacex - Slowly collecting names of emerging literary writers for a localized cultural publication in NYC that seems missing.

Question everything, especially if you actually make it to space yourself. Please share your personal interest or background in space that we can READ or SHARE on the podcast My dad gave me a celestron refractor telescope in gradeschool, and the almost transcendental experience of realizing that a bluish dot in the sky is actually a colossal gas giant (Jupiter) with all its little moons moved me. At seven years old, realizing outer space is a place and not just a cliche decorative skylight felt like my own personal cosmic enlightenment. I was there, and Jupiter was with me, despite its intimidating, seemingly malevolent features. That experience transformed my love of sci-fi franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars into a practical proposal: suddenly outer space felt like an alternative way of living.

Astronaut Ed Dwight & Co-Director Lisa Cortes spoke to Bill about THE SPACE RACE - it weaves together the stories of Black astronauts seeking to break the bonds of social injustice to reach for the stars, including Guion Bluford, Ed Dwight and Charles Bolden, among many others.

THE SPACE RACE weaves together the stories of Black astronauts seeking to break the bonds of social injustice to reach for the stars, including Guion Bluford, Ed Dwight and Charles Bolden, among many others. In THE SPACE RACE, directors Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Lisa Cortés profile the pioneering Black pilots, scientists and engineers who joined NASA to serve their country in space, even as their country failed to achieve equality for them back on Earth. From 1963, when the assassination of JFK thwarted Captain Ed Dwight's quest to reach the moon, to 2020, when the echoes of the civil unrest sparked by the killing of George Floyd reached the International Space Station, the story of African Americans at NASA is a tale of world events colliding with the aspirations of uncommon men. The bright dreams of Afrofuturism become reality in THE SPACE RACE, turning science fiction into science fact and forever redefining what "the right stuff" looks like, giving us new heroes to celebrate and a fresh history to explore.

As more and more countries -- and corporations -- make astonishing breakthroughs in space exploration, the public becomes increasingly convinced the world has entered a new space race. In tonight's episode, Ben and Matt explore the dangerous future of this journey to the stars... and why powerful forces may conspire to turn this space race into a genuine space war.They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You may not know the name Ed Dwight, but you should. A native of KCK, he took his childhood obsession with airplanes to joining the Air Force, becoming a test pilot in a time when black men had to fight just to SERVE in the military, ending up becoming the first African American to be selected for the Aerospace Research Pilot School with an eye on becoming the first black astronaut...but that part of his story came to an abrupt halt when those in power decided the country wasn't ready for a black man in space. And now he, and others, tell their story in the upcoming documentary, The Space Race...and we had the honor of meeting Ed this morning!

China has vowed to take control of Taiwan, an independent democratic country about 70 miles from its coast. But that's not all China wants. China is seeking world domination, and Taiwan is just the start. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss how Taiwan could be the first domino in China's quest for domination in space as well, how Japan's islands could be next, and why China's exploration of the moon could determine its dominance on earth. Joining us in this episode of Rick Fisher, Jr., a weapons expert, a Senior Fellow with the International Assessment and Strategy Center, and author of the book "China's Military Modernization: Building for Regional and Global Reach."

On this episode, we review THREE of the major space events in the past month! We answer WHAT each mission is, WHO is involved, and WHY its important for space & humanity's future. Virgin Galactic's Galactic02 crew broke many records on their trip to the edge of space and back. We explain WHY a mission like this is so important SpaceX launched a crew of four on CREW7 to the ISS. We chat about the crew, and the importance of the US launching its own astronauts, as well as International Crew too. India's ISRO has successfully landed on the moon (4th country to do so) and the 1st to land on the southern pole. We discuss WHY its so important for progress and how the southern pole will be the place of interest in Space Race 2.5!

The space race is on, again, and it's creating tremendous business opportunities on Earth. In this episode, Deloitte's David Linthicum, Kelly Raskovich, and Raquel Buscaino discuss how deploying cloud platforms in space can provide advantages to businesses that leverage them. Reduced launch costs have already sent more satellites to space, which has led to an explosion in data and insights, especially for companies that put cloud infrastructure in space to analyze it at the point of origin.

Heather Zeiger of the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity discusses recent news in science, including a possible new scientific definition of human embryos, and Russia's attempts to reach the bottom of the moon. From finding God, to getting involved with the wrong crowd, to becoming a worship artist. Musician Justin Gambino shares how God has used his life so far.
