Podcasts about SpaceX

 Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Farooq Malik, co-founder and CEO of Rain, as two parallel wars erupt across crypto: the Perp DEX war between Hyperliquid and the CZ-backed Aster, and the deepening battle for stablecoin dominance. As Aster rockets to $30B in daily volume, we debate whether it's real adoption or points-fueled froth — and what it means for Hyperliquid's lead. Then we dive into Tether's shocking $500B valuation play, Circle's shrinking moat, and how Rain is building real-world rails for stablecoin payments. If crypto has two new battlegrounds — trading venues and money itself — this is where the future is getting drawn. Show highlights

Big companies like Amazon and SpaceX are claiming that the National Labor Relations Board – an independent federal entity in charge of overseeing unionizing efforts – is unconstitutional. In addition to those companies, colleges like the University of Southern California and Loyola Marymount University are also joining the movement to push back against labor groups. If this movement succeeds, it could make unionizing harder on a broader level. LAist higher education reporter Julia Barajas joins us to talk about why these universities are seemingly working against faculty attempting to organize and what it could mean for unions at universities – and beyond – in the long term.

Dust is a big problem for Moon and Mars. It sticks to everything, breaks things, covers solar panels. So, how do you solve this problem? One possible solution is an electric shield that uses charged surfaces to repel the dust.

On this episode of Today In Space, we are honored to have the creators of "The Complete Book of Spacecraft" 2nd Edition on the podcast to discuss deeply about space, storytelling, and humanity in the 3rd Age of Spaceflight!  We begin learning about each creator's origin story, Michael H. Gorn, Giuseppe De Chiara, Davide Sivolella - all who are active within the space industry in their own way. We then dive into storytelling, the 3 Ages of Space, Human Spaceflight, and their thoughts on the Space Conundrum. If you are massive space fan this book & the podcast episode are for YOU!  And like any space-nerd podcast, we also debate the current state of space exploration, the evolving definition of an Astronaut, the duality of Civilian/Private & Military Space Programs, including NASA's decline, China's progress, and SpaceX's dominance. Thankfully, we close with a little optimism for the future, the importance of teamwork in space (and on earth), and hope for humanity after we've had a hell of a year so far in 2025.  So buckle up - and let's dive in!

Elon Musk Talks about aliens, SpaceX and moreOriginally published - Published: August 17, 2024 at 4:18 AM

The internet continues its chaotic march, with a TikTok deal potentially happening (for real this time, maybe), while LimeWire bought the Fyre Fest brand, because more viruses are always a great idea. Corporate America is going full AI-bro with massive layoffs at Fiverr, xAI, and Google, while OpenAI reveals people are using ChatGPT for pretty much everything but coding. Age verification is coming to apps and online services in California and New York, because apparently, teenagers need protection (after the fact). Elsewhere, nudists have declared war on SpaceX over rocket launches, and fans are ditching Elon since he started being so insufferable; even a Tesla engineer quit and roasted him spectacularly, all while NHTSA investigates Tesla's fire-prone door handles.In the world of entertainment, we're catching up on Wednesday and Foundation S3 (just pretend the books never existed, your brain will be rewired!), and Upload wrapped up its truncated season nicely. The 2003 Freaky Friday was a fun, nostalgic trip through early 2000s L.A., reminding us of all the cool places that are now just... gone. Alien: Earth and Gen V S2 are on our watchlist, and we'll see if Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 lives up to its promise. The Witcher S4, featuring Liam Hemsworth as Geralt (aka the Dick Switch), drops in October, with Laurence Fishburne making it somewhat palatable. The Lilith Fair documentary is peak 90s, and Meta's latest dystopian product was so bad it made the Cybertruck demo look good. Apple's new AI features are cool, but the iOS 26 "liquid glass" update and its awful crossfade feature are less so; also, meditation apparently has a dark side, but binaural beats might just make you rave. Publishers Clearing House's bankruptcy means "forever" winners won't get paid (always take the lump sum!); international sellers are charging absurd shipping to avoid American buyers; and the deepfake Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kills Darth Maul (Live Action) is surprisingly good.Steve Martin's Born Standing Up is still great life advice, and the Carrot App the Musical is, against all odds, amazing. Robert Redford has sadly passed, a legend who gave us Sneakers, and L.A.'s own Clayton Kershaw is retiring at the end of the season, a true one-team legend who deserves all the accolades.Sponsors:MasterClass - Right now, our listeners get an additional 15% off any annual membership at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKS.

Cette semaine dans Silicon Carne, on revient sur un séisme politique aux États-Unis : l'assassinat de Charlie Kirk, figure radicale de la droite conservatrice américaine. Martyre pour les uns, victoire pour les autres, sa mort révèle surtout la violence d'un pays fracturé et la responsabilité des réseaux sociaux dans cette polarisation extrême.

Many ecosystems fall short of their full potential because they're designed around Earth's limitations. The revelation? Gravity isn't just a physical force—it's an economic barrier costing America trillions in unrealized breakthroughs across semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and defensetechnologies.While ecosystem architects optimize terrestrial manufacturing, they overlook a fundamental constraint: Earth's gravity creates atomic-level defects that make perfect materials impossible. Lynn Harper (NASA InSPA) and Dr. Dan Rasky (SpaceX Dragon heat shield inventor) reveal the mathematical reality: microgravity manufacturing achieves 90% yields where Earth struggles to reach 5%—a 1,800% performance gap that redefines competitive advantage.Paradigm Shifts:→ The Seed Crystal Revolution: Space doesn't replace Earth manufacturing—it creates "perfect" molecular templates that unlock Earth's potential. One space-grown crystal can seed millions of perfect Earth products.→ The $2 Trillion Gravity Tax: Every semiconductor, pharmaceutical crystal, and advanced material manufactured on Earth carries atomic-level defects. Space manufacturing eliminates this fundamental limitation.→ From Quantum to Human Impact: First mathematical proof that microgravity improves material organization at every scale—from atomic structures to human tissue engineering.→ The 10X Cost Paradox: Metric-based space contracting delivers 10X cost savings vs traditional aerospace development—making space manufacturing economically inevitable.Ecosystem Impact:→ United Semiconductor: 5% Earth yield → 90% space yield in identical conditions → Merck Keytruda: First uniform cancer drug crystals achieved in microgravity → 7.4 miles of commercial ZBLAN optical fiber: Breaking all world records for performance → 80% of 500+ space-manufactured crystals outperform Earth equivalentsThe Innovation: NASA's InSPA program demonstrates systematic superiority across materials science, proving microgravity manufacturing isn't experimental—it's the next industrial revolution. Combined with SpaceX's reusable transportation breakthrough, space manufacturing transitions from science fiction to economic reality.Strategic Application: Any ecosystem dependent on advanced materials—from quantum computing to personalized medicine—can achieve unprecedented performance by incorporating space-manufactured components or seed crystals into terrestrial production.Strategic Reframe: The most competitive ecosystems will shift from asking "How do we optimize Earth manufacturing?" to understanding: "Which materials require space perfection to unlock their full potential—and how do we architect hybrid space-Earth production systems?"The question isn't whether this transforms manufacturing. The question is: Will America lead this ecosystem transformation, or watch others capture the trillion-dollar opportunity?#EcosystemicFutures #SpaceManufacturing #Microgravity #NASA #MaterialsScience #SpaceEconomy #InnovationGuests: Lynn Harper,Strategic Integration Advisor, ISS National Laboratory | Co-founder, NASA InSPA PortfolioDr. Dan Rasky, Senior Scientist, NASA Ames | SpaceX Dragon Heat Shield Inventor | Co-founder, NASA Space PortalHosts: Marco Annunziata, Co-founder, Annunziata Desai AdvisorsDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksSeries Hosts:Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research CenterDyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

He explains that massive government spending, such as the $5 trillion borrowed during COVID-19 with $3 trillion printed by the Fed, combined with no credible plan for repayment, directly causes inflation. Cochrane differentiates this from monetarism, noting that quantitative easing (printing money and taking back bonds) did not lead to inflation. He emphasizes that the 2022 inflation spike was a loss of confidence in the government's ability to pay its debts. Successful disinflations, he argues, require a combination of monetary, fiscal, and microeconomic reforms. 1145-1200 Professor John Cochrane of the Hoover Institution attributes current inflation to the fiscal theory of the price level.
