This week's Pathfinder podcast features the CEO of the XPRIZE Foundation, Anousheh Ansari – our first guest who's actually been to space (it's shocking to us too that it's taken this long). After immigrating to the United States from Iran as a teenager, she co-founded Telecom Technologies, a telecommunication company that integrated voice and data. In 2006, she became the first first-privately funded female and Iranian-American to travel to space and the International Space Station.Catch up: The $10 million purse, sponsored by the Ansari family, set forth a competition to stimulate innovation in private spaceflight. It challenged private entities to design a reusable crewed spacecraft capable of two flights within a two-week period. In 2004, the Mojave Aerospace Ventures team's SpaceShipOne clinched the prize, catalyzing a paradigm shift in the realm of commercial spaceflight. Virgin Galactic eventually licensed the technology for its SpaceShipTwo vehicle.In addition to Anousheh's background, we discuss:The origins of the XPRIZE FoundationHow to focus on the right global challengeThe future of commercial spaceflightStructuring the incentives to promote innovationXPRIZE WildfireAnd much more…• Chapters •00:00 - Intro01:02 - Moving from Iran to the US07:45 - Going to space10:09 - Becoming the first Iranian-American astronaut13:47 - The Overview Effect17:18 - Introduction to XPRIZE27:28 - The XPRIZE Brain Trust33:00 - Equity ownership at XPRIZE?38:21 - Wildfire detection & suppression39:45 - XPRIZE & Crowdsourcing41:58 - How has the experience of space flight changed?46:41 - Regulations in the commercial space flight industry51:37 - Game changing technology for humanity55:12 - What does Anousheh do for fun?56:15 - Favorite sci-fi movies?56:42 - How to get involved with the X Prize Foundation• Show notes •XPRIZE website — https://www.xprize.org/Anousheh's socials — https://twitter.com/anoushehansariMo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Pathfinder archive — Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@payloadspace Pathfinder archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/episodes • About us •Pathfinder is brought to you by Payload, a modern space media brand built from the ground up for a new age of space exploration and commercialization.

Hablamos de la imponente imagen de Urano y sus anillos, que captó el telescopio espacial Webb. Pero sobre todo de aviones espaciales. Los que están en uso actualmente y los que están en desarrollo. Entre ellos, el X-37B de Estados Unidos, que es un avión espacial militar que ha tenido seis misiones hasta la fecha, siendo la última la que duró más tiempo en el espacio. También la nave espacial experimental reutilizable china del programa Shenlong (nada que ver con las esferas del dragón, lamentablemente), que ha realizado dos misiones de las que no sabemos nada.  Hablamos del SpaceshipTwo de Virgin Galactic, que es un avión espacial que despega colgado del WhiteKnightTwo y luego enciende su motor cohete para realizar un vuelo suborbital. Por último, mencionamos el avión espacial europeo, el Space Rider, y otros proyectos de naves espaciales reutilizables por llegar.

Le 11 juillet 2021, le SpaceShip Two, le vaisseau spatial du milliardaire Richard Branson, effectue un vol suborbital réussi. C'est du moins ce que l'on croyait. Depuis cette date, en effet, une enquête a été ouverte sur un incident qui se serait produit durant ce vol. En attendant ses conclusions, le vaisseau est cloué au sol.Un incident de volCe 11 juillet 2021, Richard Branson avait pris place, en compagnie de trois autres passagers, dans son SpaceShip Two. Le vaisseau avait franchi la frontière de l'espace reconnue par les États-Unis et regagné sa base peu après.Tout semblait s'être passé sans encombres. Aujourd'hui, pourtant, ce vol très médiatisé fait l'objet d'une enquête de la part des autorités américaines de l'aviation.En effet, l'appareil aurait légèrement dévié de la trajectoire prévue. Pour être plus précis, il n'aurait pas opéré une ascension assez verticale. Comme la navette spatiale américaine, ce type d'avion a besoin d'effectuer une montée très raide. Elle lui permet d'accumuler assez de puissance pour pouvoir se poser sans difficulté.Des voyants d'alerte se sont donc allumés dans l'appareil. Leur signification était claire : il fallait interrompre le vol. Pourtant, l'avion a continué sa course.Les explications de Virgin GalacticAu nom de sa société Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson reconnaît que son vaisseau n'a pas atteint l'altitude souhaitée. Mais il affirme que la décision de continuer le vol était justifiée.D'après lui, elle a été prise en toute connaissance de cause par les pilotes d'essai aguerris qui étaient aux commandes de l'avion. Ils auraient choisi une trajectoire qui, en aucun cas, ne mettait en danger la vie de l'équipage et des passagers. La décision prise n'aurait donc pas enfreint les règles de sécurité.Il est vrai qu'un tel incident, s'il était avéré, aurait des conséquences fâcheuses pour la compagnie de Richard Branson. Le milliardaire comptait en effet sur le succès de ce vol inaugural pour faire de Virgin Galactic le leader du tourisme suborbital.En attendant que les enquêteurs aient rendu leurs conclusions, l'avion ne peut plus repartir. Le vol prévu pour septembre a été reporté sine die. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Prohíben a Virgin Galactic realizar más viajes al espacio mientras investigan incidente. La Administración Federal de Aviación de Estados Unidos (FAA) prohibió a Virgin Galactic realizar vuelos espaciales hasta que concluya una investigación en curso sobre un incidente ocurrido en julio con el SpaceShipTwo, donde viajaba su fundador, Richard Branson. En una declaración enviada a los medios, la FAA indicó que la nave se desvió de su trayecto mientras descendía rumbo al Spaceport America, Nuevo México, lo que la sacó de la zona autorizada. “Virgin Galactic no podrá volver a volar el vehículo SpaceShipTwo hasta que la FAA apruebe el informe final de la investigación del percance o determine que los problemas relacionados con el mismo no afectan a la seguridad pública”, dijo la agencia federal. The FAA is grounding Virgin Galactic until further notice. — Nicholas Schmidle (@nickschmidle) September 2, 2021 "La FAA es responsable de proteger al público durante las operaciones de lanzamiento y reentrada del transporte espacial comercial. La FAA está supervisando la investigación de Virgin Galactic de su percance SpaceShipTwo del 11 de julio que ocurrió en Spaceport America, Nuevo México. SpaceShipTwo se desvió de su autorización de Control de tráfico aéreo cuando regresó a Spaceport America ”, agregó. Mientras descendía, la nave voló fuera de su zona de espacio aéreo durante un total de un minuto y 41 segundos. En una declaración enviada a los medios, Virgin Galactic indicó que en ningún momento los pasajeros y la tripulación corrieron peligro como resultado de este cambio en la trayectoria”. "To all you kids down there..." - @RichardBranson's message from zero gravity. #Unity22 Watch the livestream: — Virgin Galactic (@virgingalactic) July 11, 2021 Además de Branson, en la aeronave viajaban cinco empleados de Virgin Galactic. "Creo que, como la mayoría de los niños, he soñado con este momento desde que era niño y, sinceramente, nada puede prepararte para ver la Tierra desde el espacio", dijo Branson en una conferencia de prensa tras volver de su breve viaje al espacio. El viaje del multimillonario duró aproximadamente una hora y durante la misión el aparato se elevó hasta los 88 kilómetros de altitud.

NAGANO! Zařval si určitě Richard Branson dneska, když úspěšně vyletěl jako první miliardář SVÝM STROJEM DO VESMÍRU. Jeho SpaceShip Two dosáhla nad hranici 50 mil, ergo 80 km s posádkou šesti lidí...a my si o tom na Vědátorovi zařveme v sestavě JRN, LL a vzácný host Dušan Majer z @Kosmonautix.

Richard Branson poleciał w kosmos na pokładzie SpaceShipTwo zbudowanego przez swoją firmę Virgin Galactic, wyprzedzając o kilka dni Jeffa Bezosa z Blue Origin, który poleciał w kosmos na pokładzie rakiety New Shepard. Lipiec 2021 przejdzie do historii jako miesiąc, kiedy rozpoczęła się komercyjna turystyka kosmiczna. Co dla fanów eksploracji kosmosu jest świętem, dla wielu postronnych obserwatorów było serią kuriozalnych wydarzeń, w trakcie których miliarderzy wydają ogromne pieniądze na kilka minut w kosmosie, a tymczasem na Ziemii jest mnóstwo problemów nie rozwiązanych.

Začátkem července do vesmíru vyrazila soukromá turistická loď SpaceShipTwo miliardáře Richarda Bransona, v úterý 20. července vzletěla raketa Jeffa Bezose. O novodobé vesmírné závody ale podle Dušana Majera ze serveru kosmonautix.cz nejde: „Ty lodě byly ve vývoji několik let. Že se to sešlo v rozmezí několika dnů, je, myslím, spíše náhoda. Na druhou stranu se oba pánové hlavně na Twitteru trochu pošťuchovali, takže se dá mluvit i o nějakém souboji.“

Kosmické lety v podání miliardářů mají potenciál i pro vědecký výzkum. Čím více firem se jimi bude zabývat, tím více bude vesmírná ekonomika sílit a technologicky se rozvíjet, říká odborník Dušan Majer.Nedělní let SpaceShipTwo s Richardem Bransonem na palubě byl přelomový. „Padl rekord v počtu lidí, kteří byli najednou na palubě jednoho stroje dopraveni na suborbitální kosmický let. To, že jich bylo tolik, šest, a že se dostali zpátky, je významný milník. A fakt, že byl na palubě sám Branson, byl důkaz, že hardwaru věří,“ říká Dušan Majer, odborník na kosmonautiku ze serveru Kosmonautix.cz, v podcastu Stopáž.Další miliardář, zakladatel Amazonu Jeff Bezos, se na svůj první let s raketou pojmenovanou New Shepard chystá v úterý. Rozdíl mezi Bransonovou firmou Virgin Galactic a Bezosovou společností Blue Origin je v technologii i výšce, které jejich rakety dosáhnou.„Virgin Galactic vystoupali do 86 kilometrů, tudíž byli nad hranicí kosmického prostoru podle amerických pravidel, ale pod mezinárodní hranicí, která činí 100 kilometrů. New Shepard překoná hranici 100 kilometrů a nebude tak sporu, zda byli či nebyli v hranici kosmického prostoru. Ostatně Blue Origin toho taky ve své PR kampani využívá a Virgin trochu popichuje,“ vysvětluje Majer.V podcastu také odmítá názor, že by suborbitální miliardářské výlety byly jen marketingové divadlo nebo rozmar zbohatlíků.„Marketing hraje významnou roli, nebuďme naivní. Jsou to soukromé fimy, musí se o nich mluvit, být o nich slyšet. Ale jejich program je natolik unikátní, že chlubení se je na místě. Tyhle lety mají potenciál i pro vědecký výzkum. Už na onom testovacím letu s Bransonem probíhal výzkum University of Florida, obsluhovala ho jedna z astronautek-spolucestujících. A velká kosmonautika těmito podniky rozhodně ohrožená není, naopak,“ domnívá se Majer.Komerční lety pro „amatéry“ chystá i SpaceX Elona Muska. „Její lety s turisty nebudou suborbitální, ale skutečně až na oběžnou dráhu. SpaceX má k dispozici loď Crew Dragon, kterou dopravuje astronauty na Mezinárodní vesmírnou stanici - už od začátku se ale počítalo s tím, že nebude určena jen pro lety profesionálů,“ dodává publicista s tím, že osobně by ho nejvíce lákal let právě s Muskovou společností.Jak se liší role Bransona, Bezose a Muska v jejich vesmírných firmách? Podle jakého klíče si vybírá posádku Jeff Bezos? A jak se vlastně stalo, že se vývoj letů do vesmíru přesunul od NASA k soukromníkům? Poslechněte si celý podcast.

Would you want to ride to space on Virgin Galatic's SpaceShipTwo?! Does Paris want to go? Paris was recently with Sir Richard Branson and they discussed this soon to be a possibility and the future of Space Tourism.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Richard Branson became the first person to ride into space aboard a rocket he helped fund. The supersonic space plane developed by his company, Virgin Galactic, roared into the sky over New Mexico early Sunday, carrying Branson and three fellow crewmembers.Branson -— along with Virgin Galactic employees Beth Moses, Colin Bennett, and Sirisha Bandla and pilots Dave Mackay and Michael Masucci — boarded the SpaceShipTwo, a winged plane with a single rocket motor that the company has spent nearly two decades developing, before the crack of dawn. Attached beneath its massive, twin-fuselaged mothership, dubbed WhiteKnightTwo, the vehicle took to the skies at 8:30 am MT and climbed to about 50,000 feet in the air.Just after 9:15 in the morning, the SpaceShipTwo detached from its mothership and dropped momentarily before its engine screamed to life and the vehicle swooped upward. On board, the passengers experienced up to three Gs of force from the burst of extreme acceleration and watched the blue sky fade into the star-speckled darkness of outer space. At the top of the flight path, more than 50 miles high, the vehicle was suspended in weightlessness for a few minutes, allowing the passengers to enjoy panoramic views of the Earth and space as SpaceShipTwo flipped onto its belly. It then deployed its feathering system, which curls the plane's wings upward, mimicking the shape of a badminton shuttlecock, to turn the spaceship rightward as it flew back into the Earth's thick atmosphere and glided back down to a runway landing.As Branson floated around in microgravity, he taped a message using cameras onboard the space plane: "To all you kids out there — I was once a child with a dream, looking up to the stars. Now I'm an adult in a spaceship...If we can do this, just imagine what you can do," he said.This flight marked only the fourth test flight of the vehicle that reached the edge of space.Surrounding SpaceShipTwo's takeoff was — in typical Branson fashion -— a high-production party with friends, family, employees and a few VIPs in attendance. Earlier on Sunday, Branson tweeted a picture of himself and a barefoot Elon Musk hanging out. Grammy-nominated artist Khalid is also expected to perform an as-yet-unreleased song on an outdoor stage.What this meansBranson's flight — which came just nine days before Amazon bilionaire Jeff Bezos is slated to rocket into suborbital space aboard his own company's spacecraft — is a landmark moment for the commercial space industry. The up-and-coming sector has for years been seeking to make suborbital space tourism (a relatively simple straight-up-and-down flight, as opposed to orbiting the Earth for longer periods) a viable business with the aim of allowing thousands of people to experience the adrenaline rush and sweeping views of our home planet that such flights can offer.Branson and Bezos are situated to become direct competitors in that industry, each offering tickets to wealthy customers for brief rides to the upper atmosphere aboard supersonic, rocket-powered spacecraft.Virgin Galactic plans to conduct just one more test flight before it will begin flying paying customers. More than 600 people have reserved tickets priced at $200,000 to $250,000 so far. The company is expected to reopen ticket sales soon, though at a higher price point.Branson's flight also helps bolster Virgin Galactic's reputation as the "world's first commercial spaceline." That's how the company advertised itself as it signed up those hundreds of willing customers who've waited through development delays — and a tragic mishap — for their chance to ride aboard SpaceShipTwo.But whether or not Virgin Galactic will really be the "first" commercially operational suborbital space company is not yet clear. Bezos' space company, Blue Origin, appeared poised to put its founder in space before Branson, until Virgin Galactic made the surprise announcement earlier this month that he would be on the very next test...

着陆！维珍银河首次载人亚轨道飞行成功！布兰森成进入太空边缘的私人航天第一人 【华盛顿邮报】当地时间7月11日，70岁的维珍银河创始人布兰森搭乘的VSS Unity飞船成功落地。布兰森在飞船着陆时拍手庆祝。当地时间7月11日10时30分许，维珍银河白骑士2号（WhiteKnightTwo）飞机载着可重复使用商业载人飞船太空船2号（SpaceShipTwo）从美国新墨西哥州的美国航天港升空，飞船上载有理查德·布兰森和五名机组人员。 本次飞行原定于9时开始，由于当地恶劣的天气，任务推迟了一个半小时。从起飞到着陆总共将持续90分钟，其中失重阶段持续4分钟。这艘载有六名乘客的太空船被称为“太空船二号”，把乘客带到50英里（80千米）高度，这个高度被美国联邦航空管理局认证为太空的边缘。此次飞行成功，布兰森成为进入太空边缘的私人航天第一人。 1、拜登儿子一幅画售价50万美元被指“靠爹谋利”，白宫：他有权追求艺术 【国会山报】亨特·拜登目前已经成为全职艺术家，正在筹备私人展览，每幅画售价最高可达50万美元，买家信息则对外保密。该情况随即引发外界质疑。曾担任奥巴马政府道德主管的沃尔特·肖博指出，亨特·拜登虚高的作品价格与对金主的匿名安排，可能会让“有影响力的人”向拜登家族输送利益，“这种想法是可耻的”，总统乔·拜登应该制止这样的行为。 白宫新闻发言人珍·普萨基近日对此回应表示，亨特·拜登有追求艺术事业的权利，“我认为，让一个我们不认识、亨特·拜登也不认识的匿名人士（对总统）产生影响是十分困难的。” 2、丈夫遇刺身亡后，海地第一夫人首发声：不能让他的血白流 【BBC】在丈夫在家中遇刺身亡、自己也身受重伤后，海地总统莫伊兹的夫人马蒂娜·莫伊兹昨日在其推特账户上以音频形式发布了声明。报道称，这是她在刺杀事件后首次发声。 “我活下来了，感谢上帝。我还活着，但我失去了我的丈夫若弗内尔·莫伊兹，”马蒂娜·莫伊兹在这段长2分20秒的音频消息中说，“我们不能让他（海地总统）的血白流。”马蒂娜还承诺，在不久之后会在脸书上与海地人直接交流：“我绝不会抛弃你们。” 3、美国一动物园野生蝙蝠验出狂犬病毒 建议186名游客尽快接种疫苗 【NBC】美国内布拉斯加州的亨利·多尔利动物园，一名过夜露营游客日前醒来发现，一只蝙蝠在她的头顶飞来飞去。园方调查发现，有7只野生小棕蝠进入园区，其中1只确认感染狂犬病毒。这种蝙蝠常见于内布拉斯加州，感染狂犬病毒并不罕见。 据报道，那名发现野生蝙蝠的女游客没有任何咬伤和抓痕，但园方建议她及最近几周在动物园过夜的186名游客注射狂犬病疫苗。动物园已经给露营者退款，并将支付疫苗接种费用。园方还提醒称，由于蝙蝠是夜行性动物，因此白天的游客不用担心，只有晚上入园或露营过夜的人需要接受“暴露后预防性治疗”。 4、美国女子正在做饭 邻居敲门告知：你家的德国牧羊犬正在跟黑熊玩 【纽约邮报】美国佛蒙特州的饲主Jenn日前在家里煮饭时，她的狗狗Jameson在后院交了一个不同寻常的朋友。Jameson与68公斤的黑熊绕圈圈跑着玩，熊还一度站起来，似乎心情很好。让她忍不住惊叹说道，“住在这这么久，从来没遇见这种事！”。 报道称，所幸黑熊来家里不久后就迳自离开了，Jameson与幼熊并未受伤，Jenn随后也坦言说道，“这幕看似愉快温馨的画面，其实让她非常紧张”。据报道，这只幼熊经常出现在附近，有时候身旁还会带着熊妈妈。Jenn称，“其实Jameson有强烈领地意识，不会轻易的与陌生人玩得这么开心”。 5、美国会大厦周边围栏被拆除 民众扎堆打卡拍照 【ABC】距离2021年1月6日美国国会骚乱6个月后，美国会大厦周边的铁丝网围栏和混凝土路障近日被全部拆除。随着这片区域的开放，许多人在现场或者社交媒体上庆祝围栏拆除。美国会大厦门前聚集了大批游客，他们在此游览和拍照。 美国会大厦围栏拆除引发议员讨论。华盛顿哥伦比亚特区民主党议员埃莉诺·诺顿支持拆除围栏:“国会大厦本来就是一个公园，一个可以享受户外空气的地方，我们希望它能回归本来用途。” 6、加州报告2021首例死于西尼罗河病毒！美CDC提醒！ 【美联社】美国加州昨日报道了该州今年第一例死于西尼罗河病毒的病例。加州公共卫生部门在一份新闻稿中说，圣路易斯奥比斯波县的一名居民死于这种蚊子传播的病毒引起的并发症。声明没有透露死者的死亡时间，也没有提供其他细节。该部门表示:“本月的高温天气导致蚊子数量增加，并增加了病毒传播给人类的风险。” 美国至少有7个州在今年夏天发现蚊子携带西尼罗病毒（West Nile Virus），如果人类因蚊虫叮咬而感染该病毒，可能出现发烧等类似流感的症状，严重者可能瘫痪，极少数病例甚至面临死亡风险。美疾控中心（CDC）提醒，目前还没有针对西尼罗病毒的疫苗或治疗药物。建议人们使用驱虫剂，穿长袖衬衫和长裤，以防止蚊虫叮咬，从而降低感染该病毒的风险。 7、纽森签署创纪录的1239亿美元教育计划 【ABC】美国加利福尼亚州州长纽森昨日签署了一项新的教育计划，为加州的学校提供了创纪录的资金。该计划规定了2021-2022财政年度用于K-12教育的1239亿美元中的大部分必须如何使用。作为该计划的一部分，该州的两年幼儿园项目将扩大到所有4岁儿童免费就读。 新计划还将更多的资金投入到课后和暑期学校项目上，特别是在那些为许多高需求学生提供服务的地区。纽森说:“这是我们在这个州从未做过的事……我们不仅在加州创建一个全新的年级，让所有4岁的孩子都能得到高质量的教育和丰富，而且我们还提供全方位的服务。” 8、美国夏威夷州将通过抽奖送山羊 每位中奖者至少可领20头羊 【美联社】为了保护历史悠久的文化遗址免受山羊侵害，夏威夷州政府将通过抽奖方式向大众分发至少700只山羊。对山羊感兴趣的人届时可以申请许可证，许可证将在7月28日通过随机抽奖的方式发放。 届时，美国国土与自然资源部将按“一份许可证，可领20至50只山羊”的方式发放山羊。抽奖者中奖后，必须带一个16英尺（4.87米）的封闭式拖车或类似设备去接山羊，以免它们逃跑。如果没有达标的接送设备，中奖者可能会错失许可证。 9、美国一州移除内战时期南方著名将领雕像 【美联社】美国弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔市10日移除了位于市中心的美国内战时期南方著名将领罗伯特·李的骑马雕像。一起移除的还有另外一名南方将领托马斯·杰克逊的雕像。在夏洛茨维尔市议会2017年打算移除罗伯特·李的这座雕像时，遭到当地多个白人至上主义团体的激烈抗议，他们与反对者发生冲突，导致1人死亡多人受伤。 昨日早上，在罗伯特·李的铜像被移除前，夏洛茨维尔首位黑人女市长尼库亚·沃克向聚集在那里的人群发表讲话。沃克表示，移除这座铜像，标志着弗吉尼亚州和美国距离“摆脱为了经济利益奴役黑人”又迈进了“一小步”。 10、美国一游乐设施运行过程中底座脱离地面 游客压住栏杆帮其稳定 【今日美国】美国密歇根音乐节上的一个游乐设施发生事故，该游乐设施运行时候发出巨大异响，它的底座突然脱离地面开始松动，整个设施在摇摆中倾斜。很多围观者冲向游乐设施的栏杆，跳上去压住，帮其保持平衡。 报道称，最终，钟摆慢慢停止旋转停了下来。幸运的是，在工作人员和游客的快速反应下，这场事故中没有人受伤。 11、破纪录！美国拍卖行以87万美元售出1987年生产的一款游戏卡带 【美联社】美国达拉斯一拍卖行近日以87万美元的价格售出一盒1987年制作的、从未开封过的《赛达尔传说》游戏卡带副本。打破了去年4月以66万美元成交的NES版《超级马里奥兄弟》保持的世界上最贵游戏的记录。 《塞尔达传说》是由任天堂公司于1986年2月21日在旗下游戏机平台Famicom Disk System上发行的一款电子游戏，游戏一年后以卡带为介质，在北美和欧洲的NES主机上发行。拍卖行称，这是一个罕见的版本，这件实体版游戏是任天堂在游戏发售早期最早生产的一批实体版，游戏专家瓦莱丽·麦克莱基称，“它的历史意义不容小觑……它是真正的收藏品。” 12、79岁冰淇淋爷爷去世 10辆冰淇淋车组成车队为他送行 【太阳报】英国多塞特郡79岁老人约翰·伦尼(John Lennie)在温伯恩工作了48年，许多人从小吃着他的冰淇淋长大。约翰·伦尼日前因心脏病发作去世，在送葬这天，为了缅怀这位老人，同事们开着10辆冰激凌车组成车队为他送行。 报道称，约翰非常热衷于自己的工作，在心脏病发作去世的前两天还在卖冰激凌。他的女儿杰玛说：“这绝对不可思议，看到那些街道两旁站立的人们，我都屏住了呼吸，我不得不集中精力开车，因为我一直在哭。” 13、非裔女孩摘得美国拼写比赛最高奖 同时保持3项吉尼斯世界纪录 【CNN】在美国一项拥有长达96年历史的拼写比赛中，年仅14岁非裔女孩扎伊拉·阿梵特格兰迪近日摘得最高奖项，这也是美国非裔群体首次在该比赛中获得最高奖。据报道，选手需要在90秒的比赛时间中拼出尽可能多的单词。扎伊拉轻松获胜，获得5万美元奖金。 报道称，她还保持着篮球方面的三项吉尼斯世界纪录，分别是30秒和60秒内同时运四个篮球并拍球次数最多、同时运球个数的最高纪录，她可以同时运6个篮球。扎伊拉赛后表示，为自己感到骄傲，并希望世界上有更多的有色人种女孩来尝试拼写比赛，因为这是一个获得教育的机会。   14、超大胆！美国一名攀岩者紧贴在2000米高狭窄悬崖壁边自拍 【每日邮报】来自美国科罗拉多州博尔德市的一名攀岩者近日分享了一段让人心惊肉跳的视频。视频中，24岁的职业冒险摄影师斯科特·克雷迪攀上了一座离地面2000米的悬崖，他站在一处狭窄的悬崖崖壁边，脚下是一片茂盛的山谷。 报道称，他似乎没有佩戴任何安全设备，也没有任何攀爬绳。大多数网友对这段视频感到恐惧，也有人质疑斯科特是否利用了一种视觉错觉来帮助营造出令人眩晕的镜头。 15、美国一少年练习高尔夫时 打出的高速球被闪电击中 【每日邮报】美国得克萨斯州18岁的托马斯·恩里克·戈麦斯近日带着弟弟妹妹和三个朋友一起练习高尔夫球，他打出了一个时速140千米的球，球飞到半空之后，突然被一道巨大的闪电击中，炸开火花。 托马斯称他被吓了一跳，立即往回跑，还在湿滑的地面上摔了一跤。托马斯接受采访时称，“很高兴闪电击中了球，而不是我。”随后，俱乐部要求在室外的人全部进房屋里，直到风暴过去。

Am Sonntag will der Musik-Mogul Richard Branson an Bord seines Raketengleiters "Spaceship Two" einen Hüpfer ins All machen. Neun Tage später plant Amazon-Gründer Jeff Bezos das Gleiche. Mit seiner eigenen Rakete "New Shepard", versteht sich, Milliardäre unter sich eben. Aber das Universum übt auf alle Menschen eine Faszination aus. Zu viele Rätsel hält es noch bereit, zu unvorstellbar sind seine Dimensionen. Wer versteht schon die Unendlichkeit? Selbst grundliegende Fragen zum All können wir noch nicht beantworten, Stichwort Dunkle Materie und Dunkle Energie. Wir suchen Leben in unserem eigenen Sonnensystem, im Wasser der Eismonde des Jupiters zum Beispiel. Und wir wünschen und fürchten gleichermaßen einen Kontakt zu Leben außerhalb unseres Sonnensystems, die Begegnung mit extraterrestrischer Intelligenz. Auch wenn vieles davon nach Science Fiction klingt, rückt das All doch näher, wenn auch erst mal nur für die Wissenschaft und die Superreichen. Weltraumtourismus, Forschungsstationen auf dem Mond, die Besiedlung des Mars. Was hält das All in den nächsten Jahrzehnten für uns bereit?

Richard Branson will take a rocket-powered space plane on a 2,400 mile-per-hour ride to the edge of space this weekend. That's if everything goes according to plan. And there's plenty that could go wrong.The rocket motor could fail to light up. The cabin could lose pressure and threaten the passengers' lives. And the intense physics involved when hurtling out of — and back into — the Earth's atmosphere could tear the vehicle apart.But Branson is ready to follow in the footsteps of the test pilots and Virgin Galactic employees who have already flown on VSS Unity, the vehicle Branson's company, Virgin Galactic, has spent nearly two decades working to develop. If all goes as planned, Branson will also be the first billionaire ever to travel to space aboard a vehicle he helped fund the development of, beating fellow space baron Jeff Bezos by just nine days.Any time humans are on an airborne vehicle, there's risk involved. Here's a breakdown of just how much danger Branson -— and the three people going with him — will be taking on.About the space plane: VSS UnityRichard Branson founded Virgin Galactic in 2004, after watching a space plane called SpaceShipOne rocket into space to win the Ansari X Prize. Branson bought the rights to that tech, and a team of engineers set to work developing a larger vehicle capable of carrying two pilots and up to six paying customers on a high-speed joy rides. The evolved designed is called SpaceShipTwo.SpaceShipTwo takes off from an airplane runway attached beneath the wing of a massive, custom-designed quad-jet double-fuselage mothership known as WhiteKnightTwo. Once the mothership reaches about 40,000 feet, the rocket-powered plane is dropped from in between WhiteKnightTwo's twin fuselages, and fires up its engine to swoop directly upward, accelerating up to more than three times the speed of sound, or 2,300 miles an hour.Once it reaches the very top of its flight path, it hangs, suspended in microgravity, as it flips onto its belly before gliding back down to a runway landing. From takeoff to landing, the whole trip takes roughly an hour.VSS Unity — the name of the SpaceShipTwo that Branson will be taking to space and the first to make the full trek — has completed three successful test flights so far. But the company's development program has also endured years of delays for a variety of reasons, including a fatal 2014 crash that killed a test pilot.A planned test flight in December was also halted when VSS Unity's onboard rocket motor computer lost connection. And Virgin Galactic encountered a potentially serious safety hazard during a test flight in 2019, New Yorker staff writer Nicholas Schmidle revealed in a new book, "Test Gods." A safety probe was ordered to investigate why a seal on its space plane's wing had come undone, risking loss of the vehicle and the lives of the three crew members on board. No one was harmed in the test flight, which was publicly deemed a success.But after VSS Unity's third test flight in May, the company received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to begin flying passengers. That doesn't mean, however, that the FAA — which is focused primarily on ensuring safety of people and property on the ground — is guaranteeing the spacecraft is safe. That decision is left up to Virgin Galactic, and the company made the surprise announcement on July 1 that Branson would be on the very next test flight — becoming the first non-crew member ever to make the trek — this Sunday.Markus Guerster, an aerospace industry professional who co-authored a 2018 paper on the risks of suborbital space tourism, said there is never a perfect time for a company to deem its spacecraft safe enough to fly members of the public."It's kind of a difficult decision to make — if you're ready, or if you're not ready, because there is some risk remaining. But if you don't try it, you're also not going to learn," Guerster said. "I think the first group of people who will...

Put simply, launch vehicles very rarely designed or expected to survive the kind of structural loads the fall and impact put Starship SN9 through and the early prognosis – prior to any up-close observation – was not not great. Weighing at least 50-70 metric tons (110,000-155,000 lb), any other rocket – and possibly even Starship itself – should have been damaged beyond repair from anything less than a minor bump. Instead, Starship SN9 – fully assembled and perhaps just a few days away from a scheduled transport to the launch pad – shifted some 10 degrees (~10 m/30 ft) in a few seconds, seemingly coming to rest against scaffolding and the interior wall of SpaceX's “high bay” assembly building. Starship SN9 – as photos would soon show – appeared to be almost entirely unscathed, baring no obvious hull damage. The rocket's fore and aft starboard flaps, however, were clearly crumpled. Japanese scientists get first peek inside Hayabusa2 asteroid sample-return capsule Link: https://www.space.com/inside-hayabusa2-asteroid-sample-capsule-first-image On Dec. 5, that capsule landed in the Woomera Prohibited Area in Australia; scientists with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), which runs the mission, then flew the capsule to Japan. On Monday (Dec. 14), mission personnel got their first look inside the capsule. "We confirmed black grains thought to be from Ryugu were inside," mission representatives wrote on Twitter. "This is outside the main chambers, and likely particles attached to the sample catcher entrance." Scientists later opened one of the three sample chambers and confirmed that it contained a fair amount of asteroid dust. During one of those sampling attempts, the spacecraft grabbed rocks from the asteroid's surface; during the second, it shot a copper bullet into the asteroid to uncover subsurface material. The combination should allow scientists to understand how the harsh environment of space has affected the surface of Ryugu. JAXA has not yet announced when scientists will begin analyzing the asteroid bits JAXA Tweet: A large number of particles are confirmed to be in “sample chamber A” inside the collected capsule (~11:10 JST on 12/15). This is thought to be the sample from the first touchdown on Ryugu. The photo looks brown, but our team says “black”! The sample return is a great success! Virgin Galactic traces SpaceShipTwo launch abort to bad computer connection Link: https://www.space.com/virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-launch-abort-cause April 05, 2018 A bad computer connection foiled Virgin Galactic's attempt to reach space over the weekend, company officials said. VSS Unity, Virgin Galactic's newest SpaceShipTwo vehicle, lifted off Saturday morning (Dec. 12) from New Mexico's Spaceport America beneath the wings of its carrier airplane, VMS Eve. Unity's destination was suborbital space, but it didn't get there. Eve dropped Unity at an altitude of about 50,000 feet (15,000 meters) as planned, but the space plane's onboard rocket motor didn't light up properly. Virgin Galactic quickly diagnosed the issue. Post-flight analyses have revealed "that the onboard computer which monitors the propulsion system lost connection, triggering a fail-safe scenario that intentionally halted ignition of the rocket motor," Virgin Galactic representatives wrote in a blog post published Saturday. "This system, like others on the spaceship, is designed such that it defaults to a safe state whenever power or communication with sensors is lost." 'Luxury Space Hotel' to Launch in 2021 Link: https://www.space.com/40207-space-hotel-launch-2021-aurora-station.html Well-heeled space tourists will have a new orbital destination four years from now, if one company's plans come to fruition. That startup, called Orion Span, aims to loft its "Aurora Station" in late 2021 and begin accommodating guests in 2022. "We are launching the first-ever affordable luxury space hotel," said Orion Span founder and CEO Frank Bunger, who unveiled the Aurora Station idea today (April 5) at the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose, California. [Aurora Station: A Luxury Space Hotel in Pictures] "Affordable" is a relative term: A 12-day stay aboard Aurora Station will start at $9.5 million. Still, that's quite a bit less than orbital tourists have paid in the past. From 2001 through 2009, seven private citizens took a total of eight trips to the International Space Station (ISS), paying an estimated $20 million to $40 million each time. Aurora Station will accommodate four paying guests and two crewmembers; these latter personnel will likely be former astronauts, Bunger said. If you've got $80,000 to spare, you can put a (fully refundable) deposit down on an Aurora Station stay beginning today. Folks who fly up will undergo a three-month training program, the last portion of which will occur aboard the space hotel itself, Bunger said. To learn more, go to www.orionspan.com Orion Span has taken what was historically a 24 month training program and streamlined it to 3 months. When can I go? Aurora Station will launch in late 2021 and host its first guests in 2022. Our waitlist is now open. As we get closer to launch, we will reach out to guests on the waitlist sequentially to offer potential dates for their trip.

Instead, Starship SN9 – fully assembled and perhaps just a few days away from a scheduled transport to the launch pad – shifted some 10 degrees (~10 m/30 ft) in a few seconds, seemingly coming to rest against scaffolding and the interior wall of SpaceX's “high bay” assembly building. Starship SN9 – as photos would soon show – appeared to be almost entirely unscathed, baring no obvious hull damage. The rocket's fore and aft starboard flaps, however, were clearly crumpled. Japanese scientists get first peek inside Hayabusa2 asteroid sample-return capsule Link: https://www.space.com/inside-hayabusa2-asteroid-sample-capsule-first-image On Dec. 5, that capsule landed in the Woomera Prohibited Area in Australia; scientists with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), which runs the mission, then flew the capsule to Japan. On Monday (Dec. 14), mission personnel got their first look inside the capsule. "We confirmed black grains thought to be from Ryugu were inside," mission representatives wrote on Twitter. "This is outside the main chambers, and likely particles attached to the sample catcher entrance." Scientists later opened one of the three sample chambers and confirmed that it contained a fair amount of asteroid dust. During one of those sampling attempts, the spacecraft grabbed rocks from the asteroid's surface; during the second, it shot a copper bullet into the asteroid to uncover subsurface material. The combination should allow scientists to understand how the harsh environment of space has affected the surface of Ryugu. JAXA has not yet announced when scientists will begin analyzing the asteroid bits JAXA Tweet: A large number of particles are confirmed to be in “sample chamber A” inside the collected capsule (~11:10 JST on 12/15). This is thought to be the sample from the first touchdown on Ryugu. The photo looks brown, but our team says “black”! The sample return is a great success! Virgin Galactic traces SpaceShipTwo launch abort to bad computer connection Link: https://www.space.com/virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-launch-abort-cause April 05, 2018 A bad computer connection foiled Virgin Galactic's attempt to reach space over the weekend, company officials said. VSS Unity, Virgin Galactic's newest SpaceShipTwo vehicle, lifted off Saturday morning (Dec. 12) from New Mexico's Spaceport America beneath the wings of its carrier airplane, VMS Eve. Unity's destination was suborbital space, but it didn't get there. Eve dropped Unity at an altitude of about 50,000 feet (15,000 meters) as planned, but the space plane's onboard rocket motor didn't light up properly. Virgin Galactic quickly diagnosed the issue. Post-flight analyses have revealed "that the onboard computer which monitors the propulsion system lost connection, triggering a fail-safe scenario that intentionally halted ignition of the rocket motor," Virgin Galactic representatives wrote in a blog post published Saturday. "This system, like others on the spaceship, is designed such that it defaults to a safe state whenever power or communication with sensors is lost." 'Luxury Space Hotel' to Launch in 2021 Link: https://www.space.com/40207-space-hotel-launch-2021-aurora-station.html Well-heeled space tourists will have a new orbital destination four years from now, if one company's plans come to fruition. That startup, called Orion Span, aims to loft its "Aurora Station" in late 2021 and begin accommodating guests in 2022. "We are launching the first-ever affordable luxury space hotel," said Orion Span founder and CEO Frank Bunger, who unveiled the Aurora Station idea today (April 5) at the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose, California. [Aurora Station: A Luxury Space Hotel in Pictures] "Affordable" is a relative term: A 12-day stay aboard Aurora Station will start at $9.5 million. Still, that's quite a bit less than orbital tourists have paid in the past. From 2001 through 2009, seven private citizens took a total of eight trips to the International Space Station (ISS), paying an estimated $20 million to $40 million each time. Aurora Station will accommodate four paying guests and two crewmembers; these latter personnel will likely be former astronauts, Bunger said. If you've got $80,000 to spare, you can put a (fully refundable) deposit down on an Aurora Station stay beginning today. Folks who fly up will undergo a three-month training program, the last portion of which will occur aboard the space hotel itself, Bunger said. To learn more, go to www.orionspan.com Orion Span has taken what was historically a 24 month training program and streamlined it to 3 months. When can I go? Aurora Station will launch in late 2021 and host its first guests in 2022. Our waitlist is now open. As we get closer to launch, we will reach out to guests on the waitlist sequentially to offer potential dates for their trip.

Space: final frontier or ultimate tourist destination? Possibly both—provided you have the cash. Already, you can buy tickets for (as-yet-unscheduled) flights aboard SpaceShipTwo, the crew vehicle developed by Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic. And at a NewSpace conference in Seattle last month, Blue Origin—helmed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos—announced that it has plans to sell tickets to wannabe space tourists as early as next year.

On this episode of Talking Space we begin with the preliminary conclusions released by SpaceX regarding the loss of CRS-7, leading into a discussion of the succession of resupply issues over the past year and how it might impact today's commercial space race for future NASA contracts. Heading over to the purely commercial side of things we speculate on the National Transportation Safety Board's public hearing on Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip Two crash from last fall (which took place the morning after recording). Quickly shifting to much happier news we devote the bulk of the show to the New Horizons Pluto flyby with special commentary by our own intrepid on-the-scene reporter, Mr. Mikulka, who was at Johns Hopkins for all the festivities. From the images and data that rocked the very foundations of geological knowledge to international coverage and the incredible reach of this particular mission, we look at how New Horizons has and will change our ideas about our solar system. Speaking of images, we round things out with DSCOVR and its new Earth portraits before announcing a special plan to show NASA some more appreciation. Winding things up is this week's Spinoff and one aspect of how space research is contributing to cleaner drinking water for people at all altitudes.

Carl and Richard talk about two space accidents that happened in the same week - the explosion of Orbital Science's Antares Rocket on October 28 and the breakup of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo on October 31. Richard begins with the Orbital Science's mission to supply the International Space Station. Part of NASA's Commercial Resupply Services, the ORB-3 mission included the Cygnus spacecraft carrying supplies to the ISS as well as a number of smaller payloads, including the Arkyd-3. The Antares rocket exploded a few seconds after launch. The discussion digs into the origins of the rocket design and Orbital's subsequent actions to deal with the loss of the rocket - they're still responsible to get those supplies to the station! The second part of the show is even more serious, since it involves a fatality - the breakup of SpaceShipTwo during a test flight, resulting in the death of co-pilot Michael Alsbury. Is making space commercially viable worthwhile even at the expense of someone's life?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

Last month's mishap that led to a loss of SpaceShipTwo has led to a new examination the value of space travel, and to expand content about space flight safety on AirSafe.com.

On a sobering edition of Talking Space, the team gathers to discuss the loss of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip Two on 31 October, 2014 over the skies of the Mojave Desertin California. The ill fated test flight of the VSS Enterprise left the pilot, Peter Siebold,hospitalized and sadly took the life of  it's co-pilot Michael Alsbury. The acting administrator of the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Christopher A. Hart released some intriguing information during a late night 2 November Press conference that may be the first piece of the puzzle in determining the cause of the accident. Mark Ratterman offers additional insight into how the NTSB painstakingly conducts an accident investigation.  The team then focuses back to the Eastern Shore of Virginia and discusses the information released by Orbital Sciences CEO David Thompson during an investor call on 29 October  concerning the failure of the Antares launch vehicle and the loss of the ORB3 Cargo Mission to the International Space Station. The ORB3 Cargo mission was launched on 28 October and disappeared  into a fireball over the skies of Virginia's Mid Atlantic Regional Spaceport. The Cygnus cargo ship, Donald K Slayton, was to have docked with the orbiting platform on 2 November. The team discusses was known about the accident on the record date.    Scaled Composites has set up an on line fund to help the family of Michael Alsbury, the pilot lost in the SpaceShipTwo accident.

First, It is with great sorrow that we talk about the loss of Mike Alsbury, the pilot of SpaceShipTwo. Mike's life was cut too short but provided a lifetime of achievement in his short time with us. Next, the invention of Operation is in need of some help for...an operation! We conclude the show with details about the growth of Windows 8.1 and the release of the Roku TV.

On the third day of the investigation, the NTSB revealed that the crew member in the right seat ulocked the feathering system. Also, SpaceShipTwo telemetery was lost about 15 seconds after the test flight began.

Summary of the initial media updates from the NTSB investigation into the 31 October 2014 crash of SpaceShipTwo north of Mojave, CA that killed one of the two pilots on board.

On this episode of Talking Space, our first news show in 2014, we discuss a whole bunch of commercial news. We discuss Virgin Galactic's latest test flight of SpaceShipTwo, SpaceX's most recent launch of Thaicom 6 aboard a Falcon 9 v1.1, and Orbital's Antares launch bringing Cygnus to the ISS. In regards to Orbital, we also look at the man behind the name of this particular Cygnus capsule, C. Gordon Fullerton. We then look at National Geographic's upcoming live two hour show from the International Space Station and what in particular they plan on doing that excites us the most. We then talk about the recent announcement extending the life of the space station until 2024. Finally, Mark brings us a special follow-up interview with NASA's Social Media Manager and Deputy Manager John Yembrick and Jason Townsend.  For more on NASA Socials, visit http://www.nasa.gov/connect Host this week: Sawyer Rosenstein.
