On this episode of Talking Space, we tackle two major stories, the launch of Mars 2020 and the landing of Crew Dragon Endeavour. We start with the launch of the Perseverance rover and the Ingenuity helicopter. We look at some of the unique items onboard, as well as listen to the launch audio we recorded from a few miles away. In addition to the mission, we talk about what it's like to cover a launch during a pandemic (with special thanks to the 45th Space Wing) and how a Mars spacecraft sterilizer is helping in the fight against COVID-19. Then it's onto SpaceX and the successful return of the Crew Dragon capsule from the ISS. We look at the successes and some of the items they found need to be improved, including stray boats and possibly toxic hypergolic fuels. Finally, we debate a tweet by President Donald Trump about the state of NASA. Mark and Gene get into an interesting debate over the state of the space program and who we can thank for where we are today.

The launch director announced the Demo-2 mission was a scrub out of an abundance of caution for the safety of the crew on board. It would have been the first time NASA astronauts launched with SpaceX and the first time NASA has launched its own crew since 2011. The company will try again to launch the Demo-2 mission on Saturday at 3:22 p.m. ET. In a tweet, NASA said, “we are not going to launch today.” “Due to the weather conditions, the launch is scrubbing,” NASA wrote. “Our next opportunity will be Saturday, May 30 at 3:22pm ET.” The launch had attracted a full cadre of VIPs, with President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump both flying down to Florida to watch the mission in person. Several members of Elon Musk's family had joined him in the mission control room to watch, as well. The U.S. Air Force's 45th Space Wing is giving a 60% probability of favorable weather on Saturday. What is a space weapon, and who has them? Link: https://www.c4isrnet.com/battlefield-tech/space/2020/05/27/defining-what-a-space-weapon-is-and-who-has-them/ With the increasing militarization of space, there have been a number of efforts to find an international agreement to create controls on the use of space weaponry. But there's a problem: How do you create a meaningful framework for a treaty against space weapons if no one defines them the same way? The report comes at a time when a number of countries, including Japan, France, South Korea and the United States, are expanding or standing up military organizations specifically focused on space, with officials in those nations hinting at, if not outright declaring, the need to expand their respective space weapon capabilities. While the Partial Test Ban Treaty and the Outer Space Treaty place limits on the weaponization of space, Harrison argues there is no real consensus on what the weaponization of space means — even as it is becoming impossible to deny that a number of nations already have space weapons. “People are still saying we shouldn't militarize or weaponize space. When you go through the framework, and you look at what countries have already done, I think you have to stop and say it's already been weaponized. And it's been that way for decades.” The report organizes space-based weapons into six categories, featuring kinetic and non-kinetic versions of Earth-to-space, space-to-space and space-to-Earth systems. Of those, three categories have been proven through testing, deployment or operational use: •Earth-to-space kinetic: Physical systems launched from Earth, such as the anti-satellite missile test by India in 2019. •Earth-to-space non-kinetic: Jammers, laser dazzlers or cyberattacks launched from Earth, upward. The effects can vary wildly, but overall the goal is to interfere, temporarily or permanently, with satellite capability. •Space-to-space kinetic: Satellites physically intercepting other satellites to disrupt or destroy them, or weapons put specifically in space for this purpose. •Space-to-space non-kinetic: A satellite is placed into orbit and uses non-kinetic, high-powered microwaves, jammers or some other means to disrupt another space-based system. •Space-to-Earth kinetic: A classic of science fiction, the ability to bombard a terrestrial target from space would give a true upper hand to whatever nation perfected it. Damage can be inflicted using the kinetic energy of the weapon itself (such as dropping a bunch of rods off a satellite and letting them build power during descent). •Space-to-space non-kinetic: A system that could target down, whether through jamming of signals or through targeting spacecraft or ballistic missiles. The U.S. has talked about a desire for space-based laser systems for missile defense, but there are no open-source examples of such a system being used. Virgin Orbit's 1st test launch fails to reach orbit Link: https://www.space.com/virgin-orbit-first-rocket-launch-failure.html Something went wrong shortly after the LauncherOne rocket separated from its carrier plane. Virgin Orbit's air-launched rocket didn't earn its wings on its first attempt. The company, which is part of Richard Branson's Virgin Group, aimed to send its LauncherOne rocket to orbit for the first time today (May 25), during a test mission called Launch Demo. However, something went wrong shortly after LauncherOne separated from its carrier plane, which is called Cosmic Girl. "We've confirmed a clean release from the aircraft. However, the mission terminated shortly into the flight. Cosmic Girl and our flight crew are safe and returning to base," Virgin Orbit representatives said via Twitter today. The rocket was supposed to fire up its first-stage NewtonThree engine for a 3-minute-long burn. The plan called for LauncherOne's upper stage to then separate from the first stage and power up its NewtonFour engine, which would take a dummy payload the rest of the way to low-Earth orbit (LEO). Since debut launches such as this one fail about 50% of the time, Virgin Orbit didn't risk putting an operational satellite aboard. Big plans, small satellites Virgin Orbit plans to claim a large chunk of the growing small-satellite launch market with Cosmic Girl and LauncherOne, which is capable of hauling to LEO payloads that weigh up to about 1,100 lbs. (500 kg). There's stiff competition in this sphere already. Rocket Lab offers dedicated rides to orbit with its Electron booster, for example, and SpaceX is making a push to carry smallsats as piggyback customers aboard its powerful Falcon 9 rocket. But Virgin Orbit's air-launch strategy gives the company a great chance of success, Hart said, stressing that the system provides flexibility, mobility and responsiveness. "We can fly to space from anyplace that can host a 747, which is almost any place," he said. "And we can go to any orbit." Virgin Orbit already has a number of customers lined up, including NASA, the U.S. Air Force and the U.K. Royal Air Force. The deals already inked represent hundreds of millions of dollars of business, Hart said. Show Stuff Join the fan chat on Discord!

Link: https://929nin.com/uk-to-release-ufo-files-to-public-will-united-states-be-next/ The UK just decided to make its classified files on UFOs public, and Americans want the same here. At least that's the result of a Piplsay survey. According to the survey, 23% of the nearly 31,000 respondents claimed to have seen something they couldn't explain and 27% think extra terrestrial entities are real. 34% weren't sure. Those numbers track pretty consistently with the numbers from the UK participants so the whole UFO phenomenon seems to be intriguing people world wide. While less than a third of the Americans in the survey believed in alien life, a full 58% think the U.S. government is investigating it, and 61% are in favor of the United States government releasing its classified files to the public. There's no doubt that our government has a lot of X-File information they're not sharing with us. After the Tic-Tac UFO information broke out they even renamed the whole Unidentified Flying Object subject to Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. Was that to make it a more specific type of event?

Live coverage: SpaceX readies Falcon 9 for fifth Starlink mission Link: https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/02/13/live-coverage-spacex-readies-falcon-9-for-fifth-starlink-mission/ Live coverage of SpaceX's preparations for the next Falcon 9 rocket launch from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The mission will launch SpaceX's fifth batch of Starlink broadband satellites. A Falcon 9 rocket has been lifted into position at launch complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station as SpaceX prepares to launch its fifth batch of Starlink satellites. The payload fairing housing the 60 broadband satellites is attached to the rocket. The rocket is being prepared for a static test fire of the rocket's nine Merlin first stage engines on Friday followed by a launch on Saturday at 10:46 a.m. EST (1546 GMT). Forecasters at the 45th Space Wing are predicting a 70% chance that weather conditions will be acceptable for launch. Winds and cumulus cloud are the primary concerns. Harvard Prof: Deep Space Signal May Be From Alien Civilization The mysterious signal is repeating every 16 days. A Harvard researcher says it could be of "artificial origin." Link: https://futurism.com/harvard-prof-deep-space-signal-alien-civilization Earlier this month, Canadian researchers announced they'd discovered a powerful radio signal, emanating from a distant galaxy in bursts every 16 days. And Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard University's astronomy department, told Futurism this week that he thinks one possibility is that the signals are coming from an alien civilization. To be clear, Loeb also acknowledged that the signals — “fast radio bursts,” or FRBs — could be generated by young neutron stars called magnetars, or by another, yet-undiscovered natural phenomenon. “But at the moment we do not have a smoking gun that clearly indicates the nature of FRBs,” he wrote in an email. “So all possibilities should be considered, including an artificial origin.” One concrete possibility, he said, is an extraterrestrial civilization using a beam of energy to propel cargo through space — and that the Canadian researchers picking up radiation leaking away from it. Loeb pointed out that he previously examined that concept in a 2017 paper, however, and found that the energy required to move cargo with energy beams would be absolutely staggering. In fact, he said, such a beam would require about as much energy as the entirety of sunlight that hits the Earth. “This would require a huge engineering project, far more ambitious than we currently have on Earth,” he wrote. “So the main technological challenge is in the huge power that the radio beam need[s] to carry.” Show Stuff The Dark Horde Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-dark-horde The Dark Horde, LLC – http://www.thedarkhorde.com Twitter @DarkHorde or https://twitter.com/HordeDark TeePublic Store - Get your UBR goodies today! http://tee.pub/lic/2GQuXxn79dg UBR Truth Seekers Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/216706068856746 UFO Buster Radio: https://www.facebook.com/UFOBusterRadio YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggl8-aPBDo7wXJQ43TiluA To contact Manny: manny@ufobusterradio.com, or on Twitter @ufobusterradio Call the show anytime at (972) 290-1329 and leave us a message with your point of view, UFO sighting, and ghostly experiences or join the discussion on www.ufobusterradio.com For Skype Users: bosscrawler

Today – I’m so excited to bring this very special Extraordinary Woman Radio interview with Astronaut Susan J. Helms - the first U.S. military woman in space! Susan is a retired Air Force lieutenant general and astronaut who was a crewmember on four space shuttle missions. She holds the world record for the longest space walk (8 hours and 56 minutes), and was the first woman to serve on the International Space Station. Susan is part of my series featuring the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame 2018 Inductees. This is an interview full of stories of space travel and the lessons that accompanied it. Apparently, you can learn a lot about life when you spend nearly 5 months aboard a space station with only 3 others aboard the international space station. There's lots of time to ponder the wonders of the world and the wonders of the Universe. We talk about humanity, life, following your dreams, working hard, training hard and being ready. Here are a few of the golden nuggets from Susan: "Humankind is really all one family as opposed to different countries." "Confidence and competency goes such a long way, as a currency, especially for women struggling with biases." "Payoff comes from the journey, not the destination." Susan was a member of the first class at the Air Force Academy to include women. Lieutenant General Helms was commissioned from the US Air Force Academy in 1980, the first class to admit women into the ranks of the cadet corps. Upon graduation, she served as an F-15 and F-16 weapons separation engineer and a flight test engineer. Following completion of her Masters of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, she served on the Faculty of the US Air Force Academy in the Department of Aeronautics. She was subsequently selected to attend the USAF Test Pilot School, Flight Test Engineer Course, Edwards AFB, CA, completing the year long school as a Distinguished Graduate. After graduation, she served as project officer on the CF-18 aircraft as a U.S. Air Force Exchange Officer to the Canadian Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment, at Cold Lake AFB, Alberta, Canada. As a flight test engineer, Lt Gen (R) Helms has flown in 30 types of U.S. and Canadian military aircraft. Selected by NASA in January 1990, Lieutenant General Helms became an astronaut in July 1991. On Jan. 13, 1993, then an Air Force major and a member of the space shuttle Endeavour crew, she became the first U.S. military woman in space. She flew on STS-54 (1993), STS-64 (1994), STS-78 (1996) and STS-101 (2000), and served aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as a member of the Expedition-2 crew (2001). After 12 years at NASA, Lieutenant General Helms transferred to Air Force Space Command in 2002. Over the next 12 years, she served in numerous staff positions and commanded the 45th Space Wing at Cape Canaveral AFS, FL. Her staff assignments include tours at Headquarters Air Force Space Command, Air Education and Training Command, and U.S. Strategic Command, where she was the Director of Plans and Policy (J5). Upon promotion to Lieutenant General, she commanded the 14th Air Force (AF Space Command) and the Joint Functional Component Command for Space (US Strategic Command), in a dualhat position at Vandenberg AFB, CA. As the U.S. Air Force’s operational space component to USSTRATCOM, Lt Gen Helms led more than 20,500 personnel responsible for providing missile warning, space superiority, space situational awareness, satellite operations, space launch and range operations. As Commander, JFCC SPACE, she directed all assigned and attached space forces providing tailored, responsive, local and global space effects in support of national and combatant commander objectives. Lieutenant General Helms retired from military service in 2014. Since retirement, General Helms has spent her time on Board work, consulting and speeches. General Helms is currently on the Board of Trustees for the Aerospace Corporation,
