Podcasts about Spacelab

Elliot Williams is out where the deer and the antelope play for the next week, so it's up to Tom Nardi and Al Williams to wrangle this episode of the Hackaday Podcast. They'll start off by reading some listener messages before talking about the slow extinction of time broadcasts, Linux on cheap smartphones, microcontroller VPNs, and the computers of Spacelab. You'll also hear about using a video game's "Photo Mode" to capture 3D imagery, strange red lights in deep space, and ASCII fish that you don't need to feed. The episode wraps up with a discussion of WWII spy tech and the revelation that modern smartphones and powerful magnets don't always mix. Check out the links if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

What if the future of drug discovery isn't on Earth? In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent is joined by Aqeel Shamsul, the visionary CEO and co-founder of Frontier Space, a UK-based space biotech company developing shoebox-sized biolabs to unlock the power of microgravity for pharmaceutical R&D. Spun out of Aqeel's PhD at Cranfield University, Frontier Space is on a mission to make in-space research and biomanufacturing accessible, affordable, and impactful, and they've already achieved what few startups can: bootstrapping two space missions and securing over £1.3M in non-dilutive grant funding.

This recording accompanies a presentation I gave on the Rest Less Platform on 12 January 2026. You can also use the introduction and three short lessons for your own learning and explorations. The recording includes: A16 minute Introduction: from 0 to around 16 minutes A 16 minute Lesson 1 Rolling to Sitting (start): From 16.30 minutes to 33 minutes An 8 minute Lesson 2 Non-Dominant Hand : From 33 minutes to 41 minutes A 13 minute Lesson 3 Step in, Step out, Step over: From 41 minutes to 54 minutes   Here is how the presentation was introduced: Better Bones - The Anatomy of Movement How Form Follows Function: What Astronauts, Wolves and Antifragility Teach Us (12th January) Explore how lifespan bone strength is shaped by movement, gravity, and challenge—in this engaging and interactive session led by Jill Wigmore-Welsh MSc HCPC, CEO & Healthy Bone-Span Expert at OsteoProSisters. You'll discover: How 1970s Spacelab research changed everything- the dramatic impact of gravity on bone health Why Wolves matter—the physiological law bones follow at every age How bones respond to life's pressures - fragile systems break down, antifragile ones grow stronger—even in the face of stress and uncertainty Join us for a friendly, interactive session designed for all abilities. Take away a clearer understanding of the relationship between gravity, bones, antifragility and simple strategies you can start using every day to future-proof your frame and move with confidence for life.   If you want to send me a message to update how you got on, you can email me through my website: EMAIL:
