Podcasts about Spaceflight

Social Scientist Alires Almon explains why the human element is critical to mission success during long-duration spaceflights.In this episode, Alires discusses the impacts of sending people to the Moon and beyond, how to maintain their mental health, and the ethics of extended space missions. With challenges like extreme isolation, communication delays, and living within the confines of the spacecraft, taking care of an astronaut's overall wellness will be no easy task.

We are talking about one of my all time favorite topics this week: Space! My podcast guest is Kenneth O'Neill from AMD and we are talking all about the implementation of AI applications in space and how artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of space missions. We also chat about AMD's Versal XQR devices and how these devices reflect a big leap forward in terms of onboard processing for space applications, and where Kenneth sees space based AI edge applications headed in the future. 

Dive into the extraordinary story of Marie and Mildred Maier, the original Doublemint Twins, whose encounter with an alien signal shook Chicago and exposed a shadowy government cover-up. On November 28, 1954, during a live WGN radio broadcast, the sisters recorded eerie, high-speed tones—described as a coded message resembling Jingle Bells—after host Jim Mills invited extraterrestrials to respond. What followed was a web of deception involving the CIA, fake Air Force officers, and a relentless UFO skeptic, Dr. Leon Davidson, who uncovered the truth.Explore the Maier's journey from advertising fame as Wrigley's Doublemint Twins to accidental UFO hunters.  Their WGN recording, detailed in a rare 1955 Journal of Space Flight article, caught the CIA's attention, leading to a covert operation to seize the tape. Posing as Air Force officers, CIA agents George O. Forrest and Dewelt Walker visited the sisters, claiming the signal was mere Morse code from a U.S. radio station. Was it?Enter Dr. Leon Davidson, a Los Alamos scientist who believed UFOs were a CIA-orchestrated psychological warfare tactic. In 1957, Davidson contacted the Maiers, exposing inconsistencies in the CIA's story and accusing the agency of fabricating UFO sightings to manipulate public perception during the Cold War. His dogged pursuit revealed a deeper conspiracy. The CIA's 1997 report, The CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90, later admitted mishandling the case, confirming Davidson's suspicions of agency involvement.Set against the backdrop of 1954's UFO frenzy, this episode uncovers a time when Cold War paranoia, public obsession with flying saucers, and government secrecy collided.  The Maier sisters' story is a microcosm of a nation grappling with the unknown. Why did the CIA go to such lengths to bury a single tape? Was the sisters' recording evidence of extraterrestrial contact, or part of a larger psychological operation?https://www.mydarkpath.com/73-doublemint-twins-vs-the-ciaRead MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

A Talk by Dr. Oliver White (SETI Institute)May 28, 2025Ten years ago, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by the Pluto system and revealed an unexpectedly diverse range of landscapes on that dwarf planet and its largest moon Charon -- implying much more complex geological histories for these distant worlds than anyone expected. Dr. White leads a vivid tour of their often bizarre terrains, some of which are still evolving, and explains what processes scientists think molded them into their present appearances. After a brief stop at Pluto's four small moons, Dr. White extends the tour 2 billion km farther out into space, to show us Arrokoth, the tiny "planetesimal" that New Horizons flew past three and a half years after visiting Pluto.  It is the most primitive object in the Solar System ever visited by a spacecraft.

Researchers, led by Konstantin Batygin, used the orbits of Jupiter's small moons, Amalthea and Thebe, to deduce these findings, providing critical insights into the early stages of planetary formation. The implications of this research could reshape our understanding of gas giants and their formation processes across the universe.Gamma Rays and LightningIn a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have detected intense flashes of gamma rays produced by lightning strikes. This phenomenon, known as terrestrial gamma ray flashes, occurs when lightning accelerates electrons to near light speeds, resulting in bursts of radiation. The study, published in Science Advances, sheds light on the high-energy processes occurring in Earth's atmosphere, enhancing our understanding of lightning's power and its effects on our planet.Precision Formation Flying in SpaceHistory has been made in Earth orbit as two spacecraft from the European Space Agency's Proba 3 mission successfully flew in millimeter-perfect formation for the first time. This precision alignment is crucial for studying the Sun's corona, allowing the two satellites to simulate a single large spacecraft. We discuss the technology behind this mission and its potential to revolutionize solar observations.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Science Advanceshttps://www.science.org/journal/sciadvBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 64 for broadcast on 28 May 202501:00 Jupiter's original size and magnetic field12:15 Gamma ray flashes unleashed by lightning22:30 Precision formation flying in space30:00 Science report: New contact lens technology for night vision

This revelation, based on calculations involving Hawking radiation, sheds light on how black holes and other celestial bodies lose mass over time. We discuss the implications of this research and the fascinating mechanics behind black hole evaporation, including the surprising equivalence in decay rates between neutron stars and black holes.Gravity's Quirks on Asteroid BennuAstronomers have uncovered bizarre gravitational dynamics at play on the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, based on data from NASA's Osiris Rex mission. This small celestial body exists in a delicate balance between gravity and centrifugal forces, creating a unique environment that could lead to its eventual disintegration. We delve into how Bennu's increasing rotation might impact its structural integrity and potential future interactions with Earth.India's Manned Spaceflight AmbitionsThe Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has announced plans for its first manned spaceflight, set to launch in early 2027. This historic mission will follow an unmanned test flight of the Gaganyan spacecraft, which is designed to carry a crew into low Earth orbit. We discuss the training and preparations of the selected Indian Air Force pilots and the technical challenges ISRO faces as it embarks on this new frontier in space exploration.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physicshttps://www.cosmos.esa.int/cosmologyNature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natastronomy/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 63 for broadcast on 26 May 202501:00 New estimates on the universe's end12:30 The strange gravity of asteroid Bennu22:45 India's plans for its first manned spaceflight30:00 Science report: Herpes virus linked to Alzheimer's disease

A recent space tourism flight on the Blue Origin capsule featuring an all-female crew including Katy Perry and Gayle King sparked some controversy over whether it was a publicity stunt to promote Jeff Bezos' space tourism business or whether it had some scientific purpose. We were curious about humans' venture into space, so we called on the go-to-expert on all things space flight Dr. Jonathan McDowell. Dr. McDowell is an astrophysicist on the Chandra X-ray Center team at the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard and Smithsonian, supporting NASA'sChandra X-ray Observatory space telescope mission. He studies black holes and quasars, and leads the science software algorithms team for the Chandra X-ray Observatory.Jonathan's astrophysics publications include studies of cosmology, black holes, galaxies, quasars, nearby galaxies, and asteroids.Jonathan is the editor of Jonathan's Space Report, a free internet newsletter founded in 1989 covering technical details of all space launches.Jonathan and I talked about space tourism, the Chandra Xray Observatory at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics right here in Cambridge, Massachusetts, how he became interested in space, learning from Stephen Hawking, and all things spaceflight. Jonathan discussed satellites and space junk, commercial and government entities in space, the Big Bang, and whether Klingons and Vulcans exist and what the likelihood is that we will ever meet one.My only disappointment in this whole discussion was that Dr, McDowell did not agree that tom Baker was the only real Dr. Who.

You've heard of the ET finger…well we bring you a different kind of finger this episode… we talk our Space Flight of Shame, and the Manifesting of Fame the episode. We're just waiting for that big break and some kind of famous friends to give us a nudge! We chat about Dying For Sex and the transition of life to death (this was too hard, even for us) and we wrap it up in a beautiful Bravo Bow of Carl giving us the biggest ick ever. Shout out to the people that DON'T give us the ick, our sponsors!! Rusty Nickel Brewing, Nick Ludwa, Jess in the Kitchn and Roofs by Bryan!

On this episode, we have Roman Chiporuka, the Co-Founder & CEO of SpaceVIP on the podcast to talk everything 'Space Tourism'.

On this episode of The Real OShow, Joshua and Zachary dive into the wild world of WWE and why it's having a serious moment right now. With Triple H pulling back the curtain and showing fans the writers' room, it's clear that storytelling—not just smackdowns—is what's keeping wrestling relevant. WrestleMania keeps going viral year after year, and it's not just nostalgia—there's something real happening behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the NFL Draft is everywhere… but let's be honest—it's massively overrated. The hype is sky high, but do we really need three hours to watch a guy walk to a podium? We break down why the Draft might be more boring than people are willing to admit.And then there's the wildest headline of the week: Blue Origin allegedly shot Katy Perry and co into space. Yeah… we're calling cap. The footage looks shaky (literally and figuratively), and we're not buying the narrative. Is this the new frontier or just another PR stunt? Tune in for hot takes, bold claims, and real conversations only brothers Joshua and Zachary can bring.All love,Check Out our Youtube Page- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoqz3s_B_VYHuQtuVIDxpiQTik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealoshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcTweet @zacharyowings2 with what you thought about the podcast or what you want us to discuss in future shows. Music by Leno Tk- Greatness (Streaming All Platforms)

In tonight's explosive episode, we dive deep into the strange and suspicious Blue Origin 'space flight' that allegedly carried Katy Perry and other celebrities into suborbital space.But was it real — or was it yet another staged spectacle designed to distract, deceive, and ritualize power? We'll unravel the bizarre inconsistencies surrounding the launch footage, the conveniently timed media blitz, and the symbolism hidden in plain sight.Could this entire event have been a massive ritual tied to the Baphomet — a desperate energy grab as Hollywood's influence crumbles?And what role does Jeff Bezos, one of the most powerful architects of modern media, really play in this cosmic charade? Tonight, we're asking the uncomfortable questions the mainstream refuses to even whisper:Was this 'space launch' a sign of technological achievement — or an occult ceremony broadcast to the world under the guise of exploration?Is Katy Perry, long rumored to be entangled with elite agendas, just another pawn in a much deeper and darker game? Join us as we expose the cracks in the story, connect the dots they don't want you to see, and reveal how the decline of Hollywood's stranglehold might be pushing the elite into ever more desperate displays of illusion and control.

T Lo unpack the first two episodes of "Hacks," and explain why "The Studio" just isn't doing it for them before diving into all of the drama surrounding "The White Lotus." PLUS: Why you can't support Harry Potter anymore and why the Blue Origin spaceflight was crass and cynical.

Washington Post's Shane O'Neill joins me to talk about the emotion, songs, stories and fashion behind this week's historic space flight.

There are people that are online saying that Jeff Bezos’ flight from his company, Blue Origin, to space was not real. Earlier this week, Gayle King, along with Katy Perry and a crew of all women took Bezos’s spaceship to space for eleven seconds and returned to Earth. Now people are saying that it was never a real flight, and they never went into space. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin rocket launch with Katy Perry and Gayle King is under fire online. Not for science, but for satanic symbols and staged space drama.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- During a press conference on Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a civil lawsuit against the Maine Department of Education over their failure to comply with Title IX—citing their refusal to protect women's sports. 6:10pm- Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin aerospace company sent an all-female crew into space on Monday—passengers included pop singer Katy Perry and television host Gayle King. King took exception to people referring to her participation in the voyage as just a “ride”—suggesting it's demeaning and sexist. But it wasn't like Perry or King controlled the spacecraft or had anything to do with its mechanics/engineering? In response to Perry's involvement in the flight, the X account for fast food chain Wendy's hilariously asked: “can we send her back?” 6:30pm- According to The New York Post, Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte has sent a federal criminal referral to the Department Justice—accusing New York Attorney General Letitia James of mortgage fraud. Ironically, in the past, James has notably stated: “no one is above the law.” Weekday afternoons on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Rich Zeoli gives the expert analysis and humorous take that we need in this crazy political climate. Along with Executive Producer Matt DeSantis and Justin Otero, the Zeoli show is the next generation of talk radio and you can be a part of it weekday afternoons 3-7pm.

It's Wednesday, April 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Ugandan Muslim husband kills newly converted Christian wife A Muslim man in Uganda stabbed his wife to death after she converted to Christianity last month. Forty-one-year-old Nasiimu Mirembe was the mother of six children. She put her faith in Christ on March 21st after hearing the Gospel from a friend. On March 23rd, she attended a church service for the first time. Tragically, her husband attacked her on her way home from church.  Mirembe's friend told Morning Star News, “Immediately he started slapping his wife. I started screaming and shouting for help. [He] then removed a long knife and started cutting her with it.” She died from her wounds the next day. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” Church attendance up in United Kingdom A new report from the Bible Society found that church attendance is growing in the United Kingdom. Twelve percent of adults in England and Wales attended church at least monthly last year, up from 8% in 2018. Young people, especially young men, are leading the growth. Sixteen percent of 18 to 24-year-olds attend church monthly, up from 4% in 2018. Church attendance by young men grew from 4% to 21% over the same time period.  In Titus 2:1, 2, and 6, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience. … Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded.” Supreme Court blocks reinstatement of fired federal workers for now In the United States, the Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked an order that the Trump administration rehire 16,000 federal employees who were let go in mass firings aimed at dramatically downsizing the federal government, reports The Associated Press. The justices acted in the administration's emergency appeal of a ruling by a federal judge in California ordering that the probationary employees at six federal agencies be reinstated while a lawsuit plays out because their firings didn't follow federal law. Appearing on NBC News, legal analyst Danny Cevallos spoke to the practical fallout of the Supreme Court decision on the 16,000 federal workers who were let go. CEVALLOS: “When it comes to these probationary workers, functionally, if they're not being reinstated for a certain period of time, they're going to go find other work. So, this is one of those situations where a stay in this case may eventually lead to them just going off and getting other jobs, and they may never return, even if they someday are entitled to return.” President Trump boosts coal production President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday to boost coal  as an energy source. The order allows some older coal-fired power plants to stay online instead of being retired. This comes as data centers, artificial intelligence, and electric cars increase the demand for electricity in the U.S. The order also removes some restrictions on coal mining and encourages coal leasing on U.S. lands. Georgia passed Religious Freedom Restoration Act Last Friday, Georgia became the 30th state to enact a Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The act protects people from unjust government punishment for living out their faith. Greg Chafuen with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Our laws should protect the freedom of every person to live and worship according to their faith. This law provides a sensible balancing test for courts to use when reviewing government policies that infringe upon the religious freedom rights of Georgians.” IRS ends investigation into church praying for school board candidate First Liberty Institute announced Monday that the Internal Revenue Service ended its investigation of a church in Florida recently. New Way Church in Palm Coast, Florida came under investigation after praying for a local school board candidate during a service last year. Jeremy Dys with First Liberty Institute said, “We are pleased that the IRS not only closed its investigation, but affirmed that this church's activities of praying for political candidates during its church service do not threaten its tax-exempt status.” Planned Parenthood closes 3 Michigan abortion mills Planned Parenthood of Michigan announced last Wednesday that it will close three locations in the state. Appearing on Fox 2 in Detroit, Michigan Planned Parenthood President Paula Greear was upset. GREEAR: “A lot of people have reached out to me, and they are angry and they are hurt. And you know what? We are too!” The abortion group blamed funding cuts by the Trump administration.  GREEAR: “They are trying to do everything to defund Planned Parenthood.” Young pro-lifers have been praying outside one of the abortion mills for years. Kevin Weed, the headmaster for St. Michael High School in Petoskey, Michigan, told CatholicVote, “Many people are attributing the closing to the Trump administration's cutting of funds, which I'm sure makes a big difference. Our students have been praying there, and those prayers have been answered. However that came to be, we're just happy that this facility is closed.” Space flight around Earth's poles And finally, a cryptocurrency billionaire and his crew of three people completed the first space flight around the Earth's poles last week. Chun Wang is a Chinese-born investor of Malta, the island country located in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and North Africa. The bitcoin billionaire funded the mission aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.  The crew launched last Monday and returned Friday. Together, they accomplished the first crewed orbit over the north and south poles. Before the launch, Chun said, “My own journey has been shaped by lifelong curiosity and a fascination with pushing boundaries. As a kid, I used to stare at a blank white space at the bottom of a world map and wonder what's out there. … We hope our mission will further inspire later people to do the same.” Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, April 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free  by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly shared operational details about air strikes in Yemen in a Signal group chat that mistakenly included The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. Retired General H.R. McMaster joins "CBS Mornings" to weigh in. Starting Thursday, Social Security will implement its overpayments policy, impacting the checks of some Americans. CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger explains what to know. Thursday is Opening Day of the MLB season, giving each team a fresh start, including the Chicago White Sox. The team lost more games last season than any other team since 1900. CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave got an inside look ahead of the start of the season. Taylor Schenker began collecting photos she found while surveying the damage from Hurricane Helene, which hit six months ago. She's found over 600 photos and is on a mission to reunite each with its owner. More than 172,000 jobs were eliminated last month, marking the highest monthly total since the early months of the pandemic. LinkedIn career expert Catherine Fisher joins us with advice for navigating job loss and finding stability in an uncertain market. In a rare break from party lines, a group called Women of Welcome is encouraging evangelical women to approach immigration with compassion, not fear. "CBS Mornings" followed them to the U.S.-Mexico border, where they met asylum seekers and offered food, prayers and empathy — driven not by politics, but by faith. Best-selling author John Grisham joins CBS Mornings to debut his 52nd book, "The Widow," which is his first-ever mystery. Grisham opens up about writing a new kind of story, the twist that changed the ending, and the inspiration behind a book that's already making headlines. The legendary "Star Trek" actor became the oldest person to travel to space when he flew with Blue Origin at age 90. Now, as an all-female flight crew prepares for launch, Shatner shares what the journey meant to him and what future space travelers should expect.
