SEQUENCES PODCAST no 268 Over the past month, we've been quite busy organising household storage following our return from Australia and assisting our daughter in relocating to a temporary rental while searching together for a permanent home. We encountered disappointment with one property we were close to purchasing due to serious issues discovered during the survey. Given the chaos, we had a limited time to compile a significant music collection for this month, adding more titles already scheduled for May. Thus, we opted to release two distinct editions of the electronic music genre together again. In this first edition, we present uptempo tracks, sequential compositions, symphonic pieces and more, highlighting the diverse aspects of these styles.

American Foreign Policy Council Space Policy Initiative co-directors Richard M. Harrison and Peter A. Garretson are taking a break from their original interview series to bring listeners something special—a free audio version of their co-authored book, The Next Space Race: A Blueprint for American Primacy.In this series, they'll take you chapter-by-chapter through the book, exploring the critical strategies America must adopt to maintain its leadership in space.In this episode, they shift to an international focus in Chapter 6 – Shaping the Global Rules-Based Order of Space. As more nations and private companies expand into space, setting clear rules and norms becomes critical. They explore the role the U.S. can play in establishing a rules-based order that promotes peace, security, and responsible behavior in orbit and beyond.Next, in Chapter 7 – Charting the Dimensions of Space Competition, they review the full spectrum of space competition—from military capabilities and economic opportunities to soft power and diplomatic influence. They discuss how the U.S. can leverage its strengths to outpace rivals and secure its leadership role in the space domain.

Adam Thierer from the R Street Institute discusses the importance of winning the race for dominance in the field of artificiall intelligence. He compares the competition between US-based AI and China's Deepseek AI and why it matters around the globe.

They discuss the policies and investments required to reverse this trend and ensure that America remains the dominant power in orbit and beyond.Next, in Chapter 5– The Future of the U.S. Space Force, they unpack the mission and challenges of America's newest military branch, examining its role in defending space assets and deterring adversaries. They also examine the reforms and resources needed to make the Space Force a capable guardian of U.S. interests in space.

Strategic autonomy is a buzz phrase in Brussels, as the EU tries to ramp up its capabilities in key industrial sectors. Defence is of course a major focus for those efforts. But calls have grown for the bloc to boost its presence in space as well. Space is seeing weaponisation and hybrid warfare; indeed, the EU Commission says it is just as contested as land, sea, air or the cyber field.  Europe does have some world-class systems such as Galileo or Copernicus, but when it comes to the space sector as a whole, it suffers from fragmentation and underinvestment, similar to the problems that have bedevilled its defence sector.

As China accelerates its ambitions in space—from Lunar bases to space-based solar power—the United States faces a strategic challenge like never before. We'll explore how China's space vision is not just about exploration, but a calculated effort to reshape the global balance of power. Next, in Chapter 3: Challenges to U.S. Space Security, they examine the growing threats from anti-satellite weapons, cyber vulnerabilities, and the potential for a new kind of arms race in orbit. As rivals like China and Russia develop capabilities to disrupt or destroy U.S. assets in space, maintaining American security requires a bold and forward-thinking strategy. We'll break down these threats and discuss the measures needed to safeguard America's interests in the final frontier.

Top American generals have raised the threat of China's race for nuclear and space weapons superiority and praised a network of New Zealand and other allies during a US Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. Reporter Phil Pennington spoke to Alexa Cook.

Stanley Kubrick's widow drops a bombshell: 30 hours of lost footage showing the director faking the moon landing for NASA. This episode analyzes the “Studio J” set photos, Buzz Aldrin's leaked tantrum (“We didn't go!”), and the Soviet spy who sold NASA's moon dust as Hollywood glitter. Plus, Neil Armstrong's cryptic deathbed words: “Tell them it was a mirror.”

If you haven't listened already, go back and check out Part One. When you hear 'space race' you probably (correctly) think about the 1960s Soviet Union v. U.S. race to put an astronaut on the Moon. But a few hundred years before, the space race was all about Venus. About twice every century we here on Earth get to see Venus pass in the front of the Sun. Back the 18th and 19th centuries, this was a Big Deal. At the time, all astronomers wanted to be the first to use the transit of Venus to figure out the distance between the Earth and the Sun. In Part Two we're bringing you more adventures to observe the transit and talking about what the result (or lack of results) meant for astronomy.Thanks to our guests in this episode: Ted Rafferty, formerly of the United States Naval Observatory Dr. Samantha Thompson, Astronomy Curator - National Air and Space Museum Find the transcript here.AirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.

Operation Paperclip Quick Summary: After WWII, the U.S. secretly recruited hundreds of Nazi scientists to gain a technological edge over the Soviets. This covert operation, known as Operation Paperclip, focused on rocketry, aeronautics, and biological warfare, bringing in figures like Wernher von Braun and Kurt Blome—men with questionable pasts but valuable knowledge. While it helped the U.S. win the Space Race, it also raised serious ethical concerns. Did the ends justify the means? And were there even deeper secrets behind the operation? The Basics Why It Happened: The U.S. needed top German scientists to compete with the USSR in technology and warfare. What It Focused On: Rocketry (missiles & space travel), aeronautics, and chemical/biological warfare. The Moral Dilemma: Recruiting individuals linked to war crimes in exchange for scientific progress. The Key Players We Went After Wernher von Braun – V-2 rocket engineer and mastermind of Nazi missile programs. Kurt Blome – Specialist in biological warfare, linked to human experimentation. Hubertus Strughold – Aerospace medicine expert, with a dark past in Nazi medical trials. Arthur Rudolph – Engineer behind Nazi rocket production, later tied to forced labor camps. The Conspiracies & Weirdness Occult Ties? Some believe Nazi scientists were involved in esoteric and occult experiments. Secret Experiments? Allegations of Paperclip scientists contributing to MK-Ultra and unethical human testing. The Nazi Bell Theory: A rumored anti-gravity or time-travel device that may have been part of Paperclip's classified projects. The Disney Connection: How Wernher von Braun went from Nazi scientist to beloved TV personality. Final Thought: How much of this story is still classified? Could there be modern-day “Paperclips” happening right now? Thanks for listening, but remember, don't tell anyone about what you heard today, because this podcast is a secret!

The discussion emphasizes how the stakes are higher than ever, with China rapidly advancing its capabilities and challenging American leadership in space.Then, they dive into Chapter 1: Space Is an Untapped Resource. The chapter explores the immense potential of space-based resources—from energy and minerals to manufacturing—and what that means for America's economic future. The chapter addresses the strategic importance of tapping into these resources before rivals like China can capitalize on them, and why failing to act now could have long-term consequences for U.S. dominance on the global stage.

Description:Delve into the world of SpaceX and move past the flurry of Elon-related news of late with SPACEX: ELON MUSK AND THE FINAL FRONTIER, by Brad Bergan. GUESTBrad 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. He was the senior editor of Interesting Engineering, is the author of the book "Space Race 2.0," and remains the founding editor of the now-defunct Sonder Q, in Ho Chi Minh City. Sometimes he reads from the rooftops of Brooklyn or near Chinatown, but he rarely, if ever, leaves the city.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Aran Shetterly. Classified as a White Man, Mr. Shetterly studied at Harvard, is a “journalist and narrative historian,” and a non-fiction writer. He's lived in Costa Rica, Cuba and Mexico, and his black wife Margot Lee may own the title as best writer in the family. She authored the bestseller, Hidden Colors: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race. The local history of Alabama White Supremacy in book and film format. Mr. Shetterly does his best as the 2nd best writer in his house with his 2024 offering, Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre & The Struggle for an American City's Soul. Gus found this book in response to the passing of Rev. Nelson Johnson, who transitioned earlier this year. Mr. Johnson was nearly killed - and, ultimately, blamed, for the November 3rd, 1979 Greensboro massacre. White Terrorists coordinated with local police, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms, journalists, and probably other Whites to kill 5 people. No Whites were ever criminally charged for the slaughter. Johnson - who was severely injured during the melee, was blamed for the fracas for decades. #ReplaceWhiteSupremacyWithLove #GreensboroMassacre #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

When you hear 'space race' you probably (correctly) think about the 1960s Soviet Union v. U.S. race to put an astronaut on the Moon. But a few hundred years before, the space race was all about Venus. Twice every century or so we here on Earth get to see Venus pass in front of the Sun (with proper eye protection. Don't stare at the Sun, kids.) Back in the 18th and 19th centuries, this was a Big Deal. At the time, all astronomers wanted to be part of the effort to use the transit of Venus to figure out the distance between the Earth and the Sun. And to claim that astronomical victory for their respective empire. In Part One we're talking about the astronomical breakthroughs that made scientists and adventurers flock to the 1761 transit. Thanks to our guests in this episode:  Ted Rafferty, formerly of the United States Naval Observatory Dr. Samantha Thompson, Astronomy Curator-National Air and Space Museum Find the transcript here.Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletterAirSpace is created by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum with generous support from Lockheed Martin.

Space, once a distant destination, has become yet another battleground for great power competition.  Since the early days of the People's Republic of China, the country has been pursuing a series of ambitious space programs aimed to build up its space capacity as an essential element of its comprehensive national power.  In recent years, under the Xi Jinping regime, Beijing has significantly increased its investment in its civilian space program efforts. It has a plan to send Chinese Taikonauts to the Moon before the US can return.  As the US-China strategic competition continues to heighten, it is vital to assess China's space policy and its role in China's grand strategy. To discuss these issues, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Dean Cheng, senior advisor to the China program at the U.S. Institute of Peace and a nonresident fellow with George Washington University's Space Policy Institute. Dean focuses on China's space program, Chinese military doctrine, and “dual-use” issues associated with China's scientific and technical enterprises.  He also recently published a book titled China and the New Moon Race. Timestamp[00:00] Start[01:54] Space Race 2.0[03:27] Space in China's Grand Strategy[05:27] Achievements of China's Space Program[07:18] Similarities and Differences in China's Approach[09:14] Nature of Public-Private Cooperation in China[12:42] Implications of Landing on the Moon[15:30] A Chinese Incident in Space[17:00] International Lunar Research Station [18:50] Responses to China's Space Ambitions[21:03] Problems in the US-China Civilian Space Race[23:20] Stars and Stripes on Mars

Today's episode takes a deep dive into the next era of Bitcoin, the network, and BTC the asset. As Bitcoin transitions from retail speculation to institutional adoption, new infrastructure is quietly reshaping its capabilities. Stacks stands at the forefront of this evolution. BitVM and its iterations are progressing faster than expected, turning theoretical discussions into practical solutions. While initial L2 hype has cooled, the underlying technology continues to advance, creating opportunities that many have overlooked. We feel that the next 18 months will be very important for top Bitcoin scaling teams to prove their worth and expand their marketshare, with a rising BTC. This will likely coincide with a massive bid from nation-states as they start to "FOMO" to create strategic Bitcoin reserves globally. What a time to be alive. Today we're diving deep with Muneeb from Stacks to explore Bitcoin's institutional evolution and the infrastructure enabling it. Enjoy.

Send us a textIn July 1969, the United States beat the Soviet Union in the decades long Space Race, taking one giant leap onto the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong's steps would go down in history as one of mankind's greatest achievements. But there are those who question whether it happened at all. Was our technology really up to the task? Or were we fighting a losing battle against the Soviets, desperate to hold on to our reputation? We'll explore the history of the Space Race and the two brains behind it all - Wernher Von Braun and Sergei Korolev. One a former major in the SS and the other a former prisoner of the Gulag. Both would use their knowledge of rocket science to advance space travel in ways we'd never before seen. We'll dig into conspiracy theories started by technical writer Bill Kaysing, and examine photos from the landing that people love to pick apart. In the end, we'll tell you where we each land. Strap in for a fun episode uncovering one of America's greatest conspiracy theories. Happy Haunting! Get in touch!
