 The push for hyperscale AI data centers in every county isn't about innovation — it's about centralized control, land grabs, and the surveillance state. China just beat the U.S. tech giants for a fraction of the cost. I'm joined by computer scientist and AI expert Jim Calhoun to expose the massive grift behind America's generative AI strategy. While U.S. tech giants like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Amazon take on trillions in debt to build massive, power-draining data centers, China just released a decentralized, open-weight AI model (Kimi-3) essentially for free. Calhoun breaks down why decentralized "edge computing" is the real future of AI and why Big Tech's current path is a dangerous misallocation of capital disguised as a "Sputnik moment."

Es ist soweit: wir sind bei der letzten Folge unserer Sinnesreihe angekommen. Die meisten wissen, was noch von den “big five” übrig bleibt: der Tastsinn. Wir reden also heute darüber, wie er funktioniert, welche Formen er annehmen kann und wie er beeinträchtigt werden kann. Und weil wir schon dabei sind und alles so viel Spaß macht, sprechen wir natürlich auch noch ein bisschen über andere “honorable mentions” der Sinne, die man vielleicht gar nicht auf dem Schirm hat. Viel Spaß!Fact check ImpfungenWurden 1500 v. Chr. tatsächlich schon die ersten “Impfungen” verabreicht?Ja, in alten Schriften auf Sanskrit wird geschrieben, dass im alten China die Hemden von Pockenkranken angezogen wurden oder dass die Pockenbarke durch die Nase eingeführt wurde.Die geschichtliche Entwicklung - Springer Was ist Gelbfieber?Gelbfieber ist in den Tropen verbreitet und wird von einem Virus ausgelöst, der von Mücken übertragen wird. Es ist dementsprechend nicht von Mensch zu Mensch ansteckend. Der Verlauf kann glimpflich sein (nur Fieber), endet aber bei ca. 20% der Erkrankten tödlich. Der Name kommt durch die gelbe Färbung der Haut, wenn der Virus die Leber angreift.Gelbfieber - Auswärtiges Amt Gibt es eine psychologische Reaktion auf Zwang?Ja, das Konzept wird in der Psychologie “psychologische Reaktanz” genannt. Hier eine kleine Übersicht zum Thema.Reaktanz: Wie Verbote Widerstand erzeugen - Deutschlandfunk Kultur Lustigerweise wurde das ganze auch im Zusammenhang mit Impfgegnern in der Covid-19 Pandemie untersucht. Hier das paper dazu:Psychological reactance and vaccine uptake: a longitudinal study Wie war das jetzt mit der Erfindung der Polioimpfung?Der erste wirksame  Polioimpfstoff (inaktivierter) wurde 1952 von Salk und einem Team an der University of Pittsburgh entwickelt. Einige Jahre später setzten Sabin und Koprowski ( beide in der USA) die Arbeit an der Entwicklung eines Lebendimpfstoffs fort. Sowohl Sabin als auch Koprowski gelang es schließlich, Impfstoffe zu entwickeln. Aufgrund der in Amerika bestehenden Festlegung auf den Salk-Impfstoff mussten Sabin und Koprowski ihre Tests beide außerhalb der USA durch führen – Sabin in Mexiko und auch der Sowjetunion, Koprowski im Kongo und in Polen. 1957 entwickelte Sabin einen trivalenten Impfstoff, 1959 erhielten zehn Millionen Kinder in der Sowjetunion den oralen Impfstoff von Sabin. Sabins oraler Impfstoff auf Basis von Lebendviren kam 1961 in den kommerziellen Einsatz und verdrängte weltweit nach und nach den injizierbaren Impfstoff, bis Ende der 1990er Jahre viele entwickelte Länder dazu wieder übergingen, wieder den inaktivierten Impfstoff einzusetzen, nachdem die Länder für poliofrei erklärt worden waren und es immer ein Risiko einen impfdruchbruches gibt.

Gratulerer med dagen Sputnik!

Is there an Ancient object orbiting Earth? The Black Knight Satellite is a mysterious object some claim has been monitoring humanity for thousands of years. It's connected to Nikola Tesla's strange signals, mystery satellite reports before Sputnik, the supposed alien message from Epsilon Boötes, Philip K. Dick's VALIS, and the famous 1998 NASA STS-88 photo.Watch the full episode on YouTube:▶ https://bit.ly/TheoriesOfTheThirdKindYTSupport the show + unlock bonus episodes:

Today's 'guest' is HAD's This Month in Astronomical History.  I'll be reading more essays from the archives: Emily McMahon's November 2020 essay titled, "Sedna: In the Depths of the Solar System", and Dr. Ken Rumstay's November 2022 essay titled, "Lunokhod 1 - The First Extraterrestrial Rover". Please note that Emily was a high school student when she wrote her essay, so you don't have to be an astronomer or astrophysicist to write for TMIAH.   H'ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We're here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We'll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were "in the room" during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.     Podcast theme music: "Frost Waltz" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under creative commons: by attribution 4.0 license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)    Loretta Cannon (an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers) is a science-and-word-nerd who really likes outer space and the people who study it.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Clem Chambers to the show. Clem Chambers is Author, Journalist and Founder/CEO of ADVFN. The discussion begins with current market volatility: gold is down roughly 30% from its January peak, and oil has cratered 40% from its March high. Chambers identifies the AI space as the major action now, though it recently corrected, and sees the previous gold rally as driven by fears of a China-Taiwan conflict, which has likely been postponed. He argues that gold's price peak roughly a year out from a potential invasion window, and the sacking of Chinese generals suggests the army resisted such plans, removing that immediate geopolitical bid. He now sees a better floor for gold around $3,500 when inflation, not war, becomes the dominant driver. Chambers emphasizes a transformative global shift: America is abandoning globalization for “re-localization” and must reindustrialize to compete with China, especially in AI. He coins the phrase “electricity is destiny,” noting China has 250% more electricity, but America is now having a “Sputnik moment” and must go all-in on energy and AI or lose democracy. This energy build-out—nuclear, fossil fuels, infrastructure—creates massive long-term investment themes, though lags and government intervention pose risks. He is particularly bullish on platinum and palladium, noting tiny annual supply, Russian and South African geopolitical risks, and that much of the production is destroyed by catalytic converters, leaving no net accumulation. On precious metals, Chambers advises a 2.5–5% portfolio allocation, dollar-cost averaging into physical gold or ETFs, but warns miners behave irrationally and are difficult to understand. He also notes gold has a small inflationary overhang from 3,200 tons of annual mine supply. For viewers, Chambers highlights his free investment platform ADVFN, which offers real-time UK and soon US pricing with advanced tools, and his Substack and YouTube channel where he shares contrarian market thinking. The interview closes with the reminder that active economic participation puts investors on the upward leg of the K-shaped economy.

He has recently started ANewFN, providing tools for private investors. Clem writes for Seeking Alpha, Forbes and Engineering and Technology magazine and has written Nikkei BP, the Gulf News and The Scotsman as well as specialist trading and business publications Risk AFRICA, Traders and Your Trading Edge. He has written investment columns for Wired Magazine, which described him as a ‘Market Maven'. Clem's first thriller novel ‘The Armageddon Trade' was published in 2009, followed by ‘The Twain Maxim' in 2010, ‘Kusanagi' in 2011 and ‘The First Horseman' in 2012. The fifth installment in the Jim Evans Saga, ‘The Shrine’, was published in January 2016 as an Amazon Kindle single. In November 2018, Clem won Journalist of the Year in the Business Market Commentary category in the State Street UK Institutional Press Awards. The awards recognise outstanding performance in institutional financial services reporting in the UK. He was shortlisted in 2016 and 2017 as Columnist of the Year (Business Media) in the PPA Awards for his column in E&T Magazine, The Institution Of Engineering & Technology, and in June 2017 won silver in the Tabbie Awards for his Money and Markets column in the same publication.

El Mundial sigue latiendo y este fin de semana tenemos unpartidazo de eliminatorias: Brasil contra Japón. Dos selecciones con estilos completamente opuestos. Ynosotros, en el terreno de las letras, armamos nuestro propio duelo de gigantes. Por el lado brasileño, una de las voces más potentes yoriginales de la literatura latinoamericana: Clarice Lispector, con su explosiva novela “Cerca del corazón salvaje”. Y por el lado japonés, el maestro de lo onírico y lo melancólico, Haruki Murakami, con “Sputnik, mi amor”. Dos formas radicalmente distintas de entender la existencia,el amor y la identidad. Clarice nos sumerge en la piel de una mujer que siente todocon una intensidad casi salvaje: sensaciones, pensamientos, deseos y libertades que queman. Su prosa es eléctrica, visceral, poética y sin piedad. Es como un golazo de volea en el área chica: te deja sin aliento. Murakami, en cambio, nos lleva por paisajes interiores mássuaves, misteriosos y flotantes. Amor que desaparece, realidades paralelas, soledad cósmica y esa tristeza dulce que solo él sabe crear. Es como un contraataque limpio, preciso y envolvente, que tedeja pensando mucho después del pitazo final. Una escribe con la sangre y la selva. El otro escribe con niebla, estrellas y silencios. ¿Quién se lleva la victoria en este choque literario? ¿La fuerza desbordante de Clarice o la delicada extrañeza de Murakami? Eso lo decidimos juntos en este episodio.

Sein neuer Roman läuft bei radio eins unter „richtig runde bösartige Satire zu Medien und Berlin“: Nikita Afanasjew begeistert mit „Sputnik“ (erschienen bei Voland & Quist) und heimst nebenbei immer wieder Journalistenpreise ein. Der Wahl-Berliner mit sowjetischen Wurzeln hat für DIE ZEIT, GEO und den Tagesspiegel geschrieben und inzwischen zwei Romane veröffentlicht, die beide sehr lustig sind. Im „Berliner Zimmer“-Podcast spricht er über die Schriftsteller-Fußballmeisterschaft, seine Reportage-Leidenschaft, die ihn immer wieder durch die ganze Welt führt, und den Mix aus echtem Leben und Fiktion beim Romanschreiben. Moderation: Judith Gridl & Klaus Rathje

La década de 1950 fue mucho mas que bailes de salon y el surgimiento del rock and roll. Fue la época en que el mundo aprendió a vivir bajo la sombra de la bomba atómica, en que una joven reina fue coronada ante las cámaras de television, en que Fidel Castro marcho desde la Sierra Maestra hasta La Habana y en que la humanidad puso su primer satélite en orbita.  En este episodio de Interesante Historia exploramos el contexto politico de la Guerra Fría, la derrota francesa en Dien Bien Phu, la Revolución Cubana, los desastres naturales que sacudieron continentes, los personajes que definieron una era y las transformaciones culturales que aun hoy resuenan en nuestra vida cotidiana. Los años 50 lo tienen todo.

Nach den Raketenpionieren und den Anfängen der Raumfahrtgeschichte geht es in dieser Folge weiter mit dem eigentlichen Wettlauf ins All. Eva und Jana verfolgen die Ereignisse vom Start des ersten Satelliten Sputnik 1 über Juri Gagarins historischen Flug bis zu John F. Kennedys berühmtem Versprechen, noch vor Ende der 1960er Jahre Menschen auf den Mond zu bringen. Wie reagierten die USA auf die frühen Erfolge der Sowjetunion? Und welche technischen Schritte waren notwendig, um aus einer Vision Realität werden zu lassen? Die beiden sprechen über die Programme Mercury, Gemini und Apollo, die Tragödie von Apollo 1, die legendäre Earthrise-Aufnahme von Apollo 8 und schließlich die erste Mondlandung von Apollo 11. Doch die Geschichte endet nicht mit Neil Armstrongs berühmtem ersten Schritt. Auch die späteren Apollo-Missionen und die Frage, warum nach Apollo 17 niemand mehr den Mond betreten hat, stehen im Mittelpunkt dieser Folge. Außerdem werfen Eva und Jana einen Blick auf die sowjetischen Mondpläne und stellen die spannende Frage, ob die UdSSR jemals Chancen auf eine eigene Mondlandung hatte. Schließlich geht es zurück in die Gegenwart: Warum interessiert sich die Menschheit heute wieder für den Mond? Welche Ziele verfolgt das Artemis-Programm? Und weshalb könnte der Mond diesmal nicht nur ein Reiseziel, sondern ein dauerhafter Außenposten der Menschheit werden?

Get ready for National Herbs & Spices Day (June 10) with this flavorful episode of Big Blend Radio's "Food, Wine & Travel" show with the International Food Wine & Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA), featuring Spuddy Faucheux — Cajun cook, instructor, entrepreneur, and owner of the Cajun Cooking Experience in Vacherie, Louisiana.  Located right along the historic Jefferson Highway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Spuddy's place is one of those rare finds that turns a road trip into a memory. Spuddy breaks down Louisiana's renowned cuisine — why gumbo is the ultimate multicultural dish (African okra, French roux, German sausage, Spanish seasoning, and indigenous filé all in one pot), the real difference between gumbo and jambalaya, and why the best seasoning always starts with salt and pepper. Along the way, he shares the story behind his legendary nickname (hint: it involves Sputnik), why he traded 27 years in the restaurant business for cooking classes, and what happens when a UK couple, a pep rally of sixth graders, or an 8-year-old girl walks into his kitchen and takes over. This is Louisiana food culture at its warmest — history, community, storytelling, and a whole lot of flavor!  LINKS & RESOURCES - Visit Spuddy: https://www.cajuncookingexperience.com/  - Learn more about IFWTWA: https://www.ifwtwa.org/  - Follow this podcast: https://food-wine-travel.podbean.com/  - Big Blend Radio "Food, Wine & Travel" Digital Podcast Magazine: https://online.fliphtml5.com/yhwzg/ekxy/#p=1  - Big Blend Media House: https://www.bigblendmediahouse.com 

Thousands of star-like flashes flicker across sky-survey plates shot before any satellite existed — some clustered, some lined up, some on famous UFO nights. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli weigh five explanations for the pre-Sputnik transients. The post Pre-Sputnik Transients appeared first on StarQuest Media.

In this episode, we dive into DARPA — the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency — the secretive U.S. government research organization behind some of the most transformative technologies in modern history.Created after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957, DARPA was designed to keep America at the forefront of advanced science and defense innovation. Over the decades, it has played a role in the development of ARPANET (the precursor to the internet), GPS, stealth aircraft, AI research, robotics, autonomous systems, and neural interface technologies.But with its massive budget and highly classified projects, DARPA has also become the focus of major conspiracy theories and unanswered questions.In this episode, we explore DARPA's history, its most influential technologies, and the theories surrounding surveillance programs, AI warfare, mind control research, HAARP, autonomous weapons, and even alleged secret space programs.Is DARPA simply a defense research agency—or something far more powerful operating behind the scenes?#DARPA #Conspiracy #AI #Surveillance #SecretProjects #Podcast #Technologywww.stayskeptical.comWise Wolf Gold: https://www.wolfpack.gold/?ref=jvujkwgsSources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jcwvgWpPz8GqLxNwpeJM7AHqBJL2O3JWVdE8ggKK7_8/edit?usp=sharing

Hello Ohio Mysteries Backroads listeners. Did you ever look up in the sky and see something weird, something you can't explain? In this episode we have 3 stories about unexplained things in the night sky. Our first story explores the efforts of a group of St. Joe High School students from Cleveland, Ohio who figured out a way to listen to and track the Soviet satellite, Sputnik, even before our own military. They then created a device from a slide rule and a globe to assist in their efforts. Their efforts landed the boys on TV stations, newspapers, magazines then a visit by the FBI who promptly confiscated all their recorded tapes. Tune in and find out what happened next! Our next story we look at astronomer Jerry Ehman in 1977 using the Ohio State University Big Ear radio telescope. His volunteer job was to simply examine marks on an endless scroll of paper searching for anomalies, outlying marks indicating signals from out space. These signals may show something or someone trying to make contact us here on earth. On this particular day, in review of the data, the signal was so strong he made a notation "WOW" indicating the unusual signal that he had never seen before. This weird and strong signal was so strange, it caused arguments and discussion that continue to this day. Find out what happened and what people think the signal may or may not be. Our final story is about a mystery. A mystery that may or not exist at all. Its yjr infamous Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Some people think that the aliens that were rumored to have been recovered from a UFO crash at the infamous Roswell, NM crash. Were these alien bodies taken there? Who's allowed there?

“Nobody has ever made money selling America short. We're an extraordinary country.” — John Steele Gordon To honor America's semiquincentennial birthday, the Wall Street Journal has been celebrating the most impactful American inventions of all time: 1. Internet2. Light bulb3. Integrated circuit4. Personal computer5. Airplane The railroad doesn't even make the top twenty. But the business historian John Steele Gordon validates the list. Gordon's piece for the WSJ series is titled “From the Telegraph to the Smartphone: How Information Technology Unified a Nation.” His argument is that the United States was always in danger of falling apart and the telegraph saved the republic. Then radio, television, and even the now vilified internet knitted it even closer together. Otto von Bismarck quipped that God looks after three things: fools, drunks, and the United States of America. Gordon agrees with the Prussian unifier of Germany. Nobody, he notes, has ever made money selling America short. As for the now venerable republic, he thinks it's still in pretty good hands. The ever expanding national debt, however, is another matter. That certainly wouldn't get onto Gordon's top 250 most impactful American inventions. Five Takeaways •       Hanging by a Thread: The Communication Crisis at the Founding: George Washington's fear was not philosophical: it was geographic. The original United States, stretching to the Mississippi, was larger than all of Western Europe. The trans-Appalachian West couldn't get its commerce over the mountains — it had to go down the Mississippi, which was controlled by Spain. Washington said the West was hanging by a thread. Every subsequent expansion — to California in 1850, to Oregon and Washington — only deepened the crisis. The republic could not exist without communication. That is why the post office was almost constitutionally important in Washington's time, and why the telegraph and the transatlantic cable were understood as national security technology, not merely as business. •       The Atlantic Cable: Ten Days to Ten Seconds: In 1800, a transatlantic crossing took two months westbound and six weeks eastbound. By the 1850s, with steam, it was ten days either way. Cyrus Field — a paper merchant who knew nothing about cable technology — read about undersea cables and decided to lay one across the Atlantic Ocean. Gordon compares this to reading about Sputnik and deciding to go to Mars. It took six tries and ten years. William Thomson — Lord Kelvin — did the physics. The result: ten days to ten seconds. Basically simultaneous. The nineteenth century was right to call itself an age of miracles. •       The Robber Barons Were Misunderstood: As early as the 1850s, the New York Times was calling Commodore Vanderbilt a “robber baron” — after the medieval German toll barons on the Rhine who wouldn't let your boat pass without paying. Gordon's verdict: the dead can't sue, but they should. Vanderbilt built a faster, safer, cheaper transportation network than had existed before. He died the richest man in America in 1877, worth $105 million. Henry Ford did the same thing with the automobile: took a rich man's toy invented in Germany and built one the average man could afford. Gordon sees Elon Musk's reusable rocket in the same tradition. Nobody complained about their products. They complained about their wealth. •       The Internet Is the Greatest American Invention: The Wall Street Journal's ranking puts the Internet at number one, above the light bulb, the integrated circuit, and the personal computer. Gordon agrees. The Internet has changed everything in thirty years, and — he thinks — we've basically seen nothing yet. Scholars bless Google every day. Gordon spent decades going from index to index in the books behind him; today the entire intellectual world is at everyone's fingertips. The railway, which actually unified the national economy by allowing factories in Worcester, Massachusetts to ship shoes across the continent at lower prices, doesn't make the list. Gordon doesn't quarrel with that either. •       God Looks After Fools, Drunks, and the United States: Gordon's July 4th assessment: optimistic about the republic, alarmed about the national debt. The debt, he says, used to be used only for wars and great depressions. It is now used to ensure that no member of Congress ever loses an election. The budget system of the federal government is an unbelievable national disgrace. But the republic itself? Bismarck was right. Nobody has ever made money selling America short. It remains, Gordon believes, a blessed country beyond any other in the history of the world. He's not sure about the fools and the drunks. But he's pretty sure about the Americans. About the Guest John Steele Gordon is an American business and technology historian and journalist. He is the author of An Empire of Wealth: The Epic History of American Economic Power, A Thread Across the Ocean: The Heroic Story of the Transatlantic Cable, and many other books. He writes for The Wall Street Journal and Commentary. References: •       John Steele Gordon, “From the Telegraph to the Smartphone: How Information Technology Unified a Nation,” The Wall Street Journal, 2026. •       An Empire of Wealth: The Epic History of American Economic Power by John Steele Gordon. •       A Thread Across the Ocean: The Heroic Story of the Transatlantic Cable by John Steele Gordon. •       Episode 2874: Don Watson on From One Mad King to Another — the companion episode on American history and what has always made America America. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

What can a 94-year-old teach us about life? Jeff Gould sits down with Alex Brown, age 94, to hear the wisdom that only nine decades of living can provide. Jeff believes we spend far too much time comparing ourselves to people our own age. Instead, he suggests we look 20–30 years ahead and learn from those who have already traveled the road we're on. In this thoughtful conversation, Alex reflects on nearly a century of life — from growing up during the Great Depression, remembering Pearl Harbor as a child, serving in the U.S. Navy, building a business from scratch at age 40, and eventually selling that company after 25 years. Along the way he shares simple but powerful lessons about: • Longevity and staying healthy into your 90s • Starting a business later in life • The importance of goal setting • Parenting and family values • Faith and maintaining a positive outlook • What it's like to witness nearly a century of world events Alex has lived through World War II, Sputnik, the Cold War, and the rise of digital technology, giving him a rare perspective on how dramatically the world has changed. And before the conversation ends, Alex shares a couple of classic jokes that show something else about long life: a sense of humor might be one of the best survival skills of all. Sometimes the best wisdom doesn't come from experts or influencers. It comes from someone who has simply lived a long life and paid attention.

This week we start to trace the story of space travel from the first theoretical rockets to the massive machines sending humans back to the Moon today. Tom explores the physics of rockets leading up to the first satellite that was launched into space: Sputnik 1. Mitch focuses on the current Artemis 2 mission and the boys discuss the technological advancements that are likely to arise from a rejuvenation of space exploration.

La Luna siempre ha estado ahí, aparentemente a tiro de piedra. Se encuentra a una media de 384.000 kilómetros, lo que la convierte en el único cuerpo celeste que nuestros antepasados podían contemplar con detalle a simple vista. Eso hizo de ella territorio de sacerdotes, poetas y astrólogos durante miles de años. Sus fases regulares, ese ciclo de 29 días y medio, sirvieron para medir el tiempo mucho antes de que nadie entendiese la mecánica orbital. Calendarios lunares los hay por todas partes, desde el chino hasta el musulmán, pasando por el modo en el que los cristianos fijan la fecha de la Semana Santa. Llegar a pisarla ya era otra historia. La odisea empezó con la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los cohetes V-2 que Wernher von Braun desarrolló para el Tercer Reich. Acabada la contienda, estadounidenses y soviéticos se llevaron a los ingenieros alemanes. Von Braun acabó en Alabama trabajando para el ejército de Estados Unidos. Durante años su trabajo avanzó lentamente hasta que el 4 de octubre de 1957 la Unión Soviética puso en órbita el Sputnik. Aquella esfera que pitaba desde el espacio provocó la estupefacción de los estadounidenses. Los soviéticos repitieron con la perra Laika y luego con Yuri Gagarin, el primer ser humano en orbitar la Tierra. Estados Unidos iba siempre un paso por detrás. Entonces apareció Kennedy. Joven y ambicioso, vio en la Luna un proyecto casi de ciencia ficción en el que todos estaban de acuerdo. En mayo de 1961 anunció ante el Congreso que un estadounidense pisaría la Luna antes de que terminase la década. Era una promesa temeraria porque en aquel momento la experiencia tripulada de la NASA se reducía al vuelo suborbital de quince minutos de Alan Shepard. Nadie sabía cómo llegar a la Luna. Nadie tenía el cohete. Nadie estaba seguro de que fuera posible. Los programas Mercury y Gemini fueron la escuela. Con el Mercury aprendieron que un ser humano podía sobrevivir en el espacio. Con el Gemini ensayaron todo lo necesario para la misión lunar: acoplamientos, paseos espaciales, maniobras orbitales. El programa para llegara a la Luna la NASA lo bautizó Apolo. Adoptaron el perfil de misión propuesto por el ingeniero John Houbolt y Von Braun construyó el Saturno V, un monstruo de 110 metros de altura capaz de poner 45 toneladas camino de la Luna. Hubo tragedias. El incendio del Apolo 1 mató a tres astronautas en enero de 1967 y obligó a rediseñar la cápsula entera. Hubo también momentos gloriosos. El Apolo 8 llevó a tres hombres a orbitar la Luna en la Navidad de 1968. Y el 20 de julio de 1969, Neil Armstrong y Buzz Aldrin descendieron con el módulo Eagle hasta el mar de la Tranquilidad. Seiscientos millones de personas lo vieron en directo por televisión. Le siguieron seis misiones más, hasta el Apolo 17 en diciembre de 1972. Trajeron 382 kilos de rocas, desplegaron instrumentos, algunos incluso siguen funcionando hoy y cambiaron para siempre nuestra comprensión del sistema solar. Las huellas de aquellos doce hombres permanecen intactas en el regolito lunar ya que en la Luna no hay viento ni lluvia que las borre. Esperemos que quienes lleguen después las respeten.

The newest episode of Finding Demo Surf Fishing has dropped with Webb Skelton, founder of Project Saltwater, for one of the most powerful conversations on the show.After serving in the Army and facing a difficult transition back to civilian life, Webb found himself in a downward spiral that ultimately led to a life-changing stroke. What followed was a second chance, and a new purpose. Through fishing, community, and time on the water, Webb began rebuilding his life. That journey led to the creation of Project Saltwater, a growing mission focused on helping veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families find healing through surf fishing and the outdoors. In this episode, Webb shares his story, the impact of the fishing community on his recovery, and his vision for creating something bigger than himself, an organization built to bring people together, fill the gaps left behind after service, and offer a different kind of therapy through saltwater.  This one goes deeper than fishing.If you know someone who could benefit from what Webb is building or someone who can help support the mission, this is an episode worth sharing.Audio: https://share.transistor.fm/s/3fc3eaeaSocial to follow:FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574453432828This Episode Is Sponsored By:  Kids Can Fish Foundation: Kids Can Fish is a state and federally-recognized 501(c)(3) charitable foundation.  Their mission is to teach kids fishing fundamentals and, most importantly, HAVE FUN!!   Bait Check:  Ninja Tackle: Ninja Dagger, 7' Travel Rod, Bummy Stick, Akios reels, rigs, bait, and firearm accessories (optics, Glock parts, attachments, and more) Bait Check:  DS Custom Tackle: Tackle Supply for all anglers.  Floats, rigs, jigs, bait, and moreTheme Song Dirty Rock by TwisteriumMentions:US ArmyMayo ClinicYouTubeAce On The LineNE Florida Inshore Penn FierceFishbitesOver The Bar RodKelly MeddersBryan RoweCoastline CreationsHero's On The WaterReel Healing OutdoorsBrokenReel23Surf Fishing Solutions#findingdemosurffishing  #SurfFishing #FishingPodcast #AnglingPodcast #SaltwaterFishing #BeachFishing #Surfcasting #PodcastRecommendations #OutdoorPodcast #FishingCommunity #FishingTips #PodcastLife #projectsaltwater #USArmy #MayoClinic #AceOnTheLine #NEFloridaInshoreSlayers #PennFierce#Fishbites #OverTheBarRod #KellyMedders #BryanRowe #CoastlineCreations #HerosOnTheWater #ReelHealingOutdoors #BrokenReel23 #SurfFishingSolutions

New episode of Finding Demo Surf Fishing is live.Buck Bishop, better known as the Salty Leprechaun, is back on the show and this one goes deeper than just fishing.After stepping away from social media, guiding, and content for a while, Buck talks openly about burnout, mental health, and why sometimes the best move you can make for something you love is to step back and reset.We talk about the pressure that can come from turning fishing into work, finding balance again, and what brought the fire back for him this season.If you've ever felt burned out chasing something you care about, this conversation will probably resonate.Listen here:Audio: https://share.transistor.fm/s/488fc622 Video: https://www.youtube.com/@findingdemosurffishingSocial to follow:Website: https://saltyleprechaun.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/TheSaltyLeprechaunIG: https://www.instagram.com/saltyleprechaunsurffishingYT: https://www.youtube.com/@saltyleprechaunsurffishing5956/videosThis Episode Is Sponsored By:  Ninja Tackle: Ninja Dagger, 7' Travel Rod, Bummy Stick, Akios reels, rigs, bait, and firearm accessories (optics, Glock parts, attachments, and more) Bait Check:  DS Custom Tackle: Tackle Supply for all anglers.  Floats, rigs, jigs, bait, and moreBait Check:  Kids Can Fish Foundation: Kids Can Fish is a state and federally-recognized 501(c)(3) charitable foundation.  Their mission is to teach kids fishing fundamentals and, most importantly, HAVE FUN!!   Theme Song Dirty Rock by Twisterium

Sie war die erste Frau im Weltall - bis heute ist Walentina Tereschkowa die einzige Frau, die alleine die Erde umkreist hat. Die 89-jährige Duma-Abgeordnete (geb. am 6.3.1937) sehnt sich nun auf den Mars. Von Ralph Erdenberger.

Sputnik 1 (/ˈspʌtnɪk, ˈspʊtnɪk/, Russian: Спутник-1, Satellite 1), often referred to as simply Sputnik, was the first artificial Earth satellite. It was launched into an elliptical low Earth orbit by the Soviet Union on 4 October 1957 as part of the Soviet space program. It sent a radio signal back to Earth for three weeks before its three silver-zinc batteries became depleted. Aerodynamic drag caused it to fall back into the atmosphere on 4 January 1958.

Show Notes Episode 519: Future's So Bright, Gotta Wear Shades This week Host Dave Bledsoe passed out in a Waymo Taxi and woke up  in Albany owing $1700. (He charged to the network credit card. Again.) On the show this week we wrap up our exploration of the foundation myths of the Baby Boom with how the Atomic Age and the Space Race influenced pop culture and how pop culture influenced them. (In cartoon form.) Along the way we discover that Dave's formative years were basically reruns and cheap plastic toys. (You can tell.) Then we dive into speculative fiction (speculating on whether Dave will ever get to the point) and how it really isn't all that speculative.  Then we examine how the movies shifted after Sputnik and how television pretended the world wasn't changing by imagining the future was exactly like today but space ships.  Finally, we explore the most influential television of the 1960s and how it shaped our vision of the future and our relationship with technology, also it had a talking dog. (Forget flying cars, where are our talking dogs?) Our Sponsor this week is Whuffo Toys Spaceman Space Toy for Boys because only boys go to space.  We open with Major Matt Mason and close with Jason Armstrong for whom things are going great!

In this episode of Finding Demo Surf Fishing, I sit down with Nathan Benjamin, founder of Benjamin's Beach Wheels, to talk about how a personal problem on the sand turned into a solution now used by surf anglers, families, businesses, and veterans across the country.Nathan walks through his fishing background, his transition from freshwater to surf fishing, and the frustrations that led him to start building his own beach carts—and eventually focus entirely on developing heavy-duty beach wheels. We break down what actually matters when it comes to beach mobility: wheel size, bearings, inflation, durability, and why many off-the-shelf options fail in real surf conditions.This episode goes deep into:The evolution from Benji's Beach Carts to Benjamin's Beach WheelsWhy wheel design and bearings matter in sand, water, and heavy loadsCommon mistakes anglers make with beach carts and wheelsMaintenance, inflation, and real-world durabilityHow better access changes who gets to enjoy the beachWe also talk about the moments that matter most—helping people get back to the beach when they otherwise couldn't, including families, businesses, and individuals with mobility challenges.This conversation is part fishing, part engineering, and part reminder that the right gear doesn't just make fishing easier—it makes the experience possible.Audio: https://share.transistor.fm/s/58a4b651Video: https://youtu.be/NOpIPxvJr38Social to follow:Website: https://www.benjaminsbeachwheels.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/Benjaminbeachwheels IG: https://www.instagram.com/benjaminsbeachwheels/YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BenjaminsBeachWheelsThis Episode Is Sponsored By: Ninja Tackle: Ninja Dagger, 7' Travel Rod, Bummy Stick, Akios reels, rigs, bait, and firearm accessories (optics, Glock parts, attachments, and more) Bait Check: DS Custom Tackle: Tackle Supply for all anglers.  Floats, rigs, jigs, bait, and more Bait Check:  Kids Can Fish Foundation: Kids Can Fish is a state and federally-recognized 501(c)(3) charitable foundation.  Their mission is to teach kids fishing fundamentals and, most importantly, HAVE FUN!!   Theme Song Dirty Rock by TwisteriumMentions:Surf Fishing SolutionsSea StrikerFish N MateChrysler Town & CountryVevorWheeleezJustin Reed FishingAli BabaBass Pro ShopStarbrite GreaseNLGI Pro Grade#findingdemosurffishing #Beanjaminsbeachwheels #fishingpodcast #SurfFishingPodcast #beachwheels  #SurfFishingSolutions #SeaStriker #FishNMate #ChryslerTownCountry #Vevor #Wheeleez #JustinReedFishing #AliBaba #BassProShop #StarbriteGrease #NLGIProGrade

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya delivers a winter "real report" across the Panhandle with three key conversations: surf fishing, boat-show season, and a tough-but-producible inshore bay bite. On the surf side, Joe talks with Justin Reed of Justin Reed Fishing about February slowdowns and how to prep for spring—favorite rod lengths (9–10' vs 12'), why he likes 5000-size reels for torque, and must-have surf tackle like Sputnik sinkers, pompano rigs, and sand fleas. They also preview boat season with Jim Cox in an Emerald Coast Boat & Lifestyle Show rundown, covering what to expect at the show, why seeing boats in person matters, and the coastal-lifestyle vendors and seminars that make it a full family event. To wrap, Joe checks in with Justin Leake of Panama City Inshore on winter inshore fishing—focusing on protected bayous and deeper creeks for trout and redfish, using suspending jerkbaits to locate fish, and leaning on live shrimp when the bite gets picky as water temps start creeping toward spring.   Sponsors: Dixie Supply and Baker Metal Killerdock Coastal Connection EXP Realty AFTCO SlipSki Solutions Black Buffalo Hilton's Realtime Navigator

For most of their lives, Stephen and Zack have kept their eyes to the stars and wondering if NASA or anybody else will ever again get serious about launching ships up there.[1. Image credit: SpaceX on X.com.] Now it seems that moment is upon us. Lord willing, next month's launch of Artemis II will drive new great leaps back to the Moon, not only to orbit or put down boots, but to put down roots. Meanwhile, private firms build reusable rockets and plan satellite networks while setting their sights on Mars. So what other science fictions will come true in reality? Join us to discern and celebrate the God-exalting glories of human spaceflight to faraway lands for this landmark 300th episode of Lorehaven's Fantastical Truth.

Today, every space mission starts on Earth A brief summary of spaceflight: Sputnik 1 satellite (Oct. 1957), Yuri Gagarin (April 1961 aboard Vostok 1), Alan Shephard first American (May 1961), John Glenn first to orbit (Feb. 1962 aboard Friendship 1), 1960s moon race, moon landing (July 1969), six moon landings 1980s to early 2000s: Space Shuttle program, ISS, many others Alas, disasters: 1986 Challenger explosion, 2003 Columbia disaster Late 2000s to present: private companies brings new energy Elon Musk: classic humanist, entrepreneur, controversial, mess But a genius billionaire, anyway, and pioneer in new rocketry Same with Amazon's Jeff Bezos, whatever else you think of him These and more are winning goals to make ships less expensive SpaceX rockets can now reverse themselves to land on platforms 2024: Space X “mechazilla” arms caught a returning rocket This month, NASA postponed the Artemis II launch until March. Last week, SpaceX routinely launched a new crew to the ISS. And finally, Elon Musk revealed he's prioritizing lunar missions: For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster. 2. In years, new rockets will reach the Moon Artemis I (Nov. 2022) tested the Space Launch System. Notably, this system is developed separately from reusable rockets. Artemis II (March 2026?) will launch astronauts around the Moon. The mission will last four days and orbit the Moon's far side. The names of these absolutely real, nonfictional astronauts are: Commander Reid Wiseman Pilot Victor Glover Mission specialist Christina Koch Mission specialist astronaut Jeremy Hansen (CSA) As memes foretold, we hope they come back with superpowers. Artemis III will be a real moon landing, first since Apollo 17 in 1972. That mission may launch as early as 2028. No crew announced yet. Axiom Space developed new super-upgraded spacesuits for this. NASA identified possible nine landing sites, all near the South Pole. That region has stable daylight/temperatures plus crater water ice. All said, the first lunar bases could be south polar settlements. Many speculators suggest future lunar manufacturing in this area. NASA, Department of Energy to Develop Lunar Surface Reactor by 2030 Materials include water ice, lunar regolith, and other metals. Musk wants to make AI satellites there and launch them into space. Elon Musk Wants to Build an A.I. Satellite Factory on the Moon Risks: extra radiation could drive habitats under protective layers. You could shield with thick ceilings or else use lunar lava tubes. Listen to our March 2025 podcast series: Martian Month. 3. In decades, mankind may land on Mars In the recent past, Musk and others thought the Moon was jejune. After all, we've already landed there. Where's the fun in returning? But now the Moon seems more accessible. Walk before you run. Last year for ACE's launch, we shared a series: Martian Month. Unlike the Moon, Mars has atmosphere and daylight cycles. It's a little “warmer,” with slightly more radiation protection. Also, Mars has less known surface ice but more carbon dioxide. How to get there? You need to wait about once every two years. Possible transport: nuclear-powered rockets, now in development. NASA administrator Jared Isaacman: nuclear-electric propulsion? 6 Things You Should Know About Nuclear Thermal Propulsion That may reduce travel time by 25 percent (from 6 to 4 months?). Timing: a matter of decades, perhaps the 2030s at the earliest. So yes, you may live to see this happen, yet likely not travel there. Speculators/rocketeers see philosophical, humanitarian motives. For the Christian, our motives for spaceflight are a bit different. After all, God made humans to steward the Earth and maybe more. Alas, sin interferes with our purpose and our very human nature. We're mortal. Space couldn't have killed us before. Now it does. Personally, I see humanity's future with limited spaceflight at best. Yet after Jesus returns and we get New everything, who knows? Either way, with cautious optimism, Christians can rejoice at this. It's healthy to stop navel-gazing and look upward and onward. And someday, yes, missionaries may come to the Moon and Mars. Com station Top question for listeners What big spaceflight news, past or future, is your favorite? Will you watch the Artemis II launch, currently set for early March? Jeremiah Friedli remarked about episode 298: Excellent podcast episode, Stephen! Thanks for tackling these issues from a sound and biblical perspective. I'm looking forward to part 2! Next on Fantastical Truth Three hundred episodes down. Who knows how many to go? Whether you've just found the podcast or have been listening since January 2020, we're grateful for your support of this journey to escape bad books and find the best Christian-made fantasy for Christ's glory.

In the schools of the (near) future, teachers will be replaced by robots and learning will be personalized, allowing each student to move at their own pace. AI refuser and self-described ‘ed tech Cassandra' Audrey Watters says that the vision of education being peddled by Silicon Valley today is virtually indistinguishable from the Cold War fantasy of futuristic schools. Watters makes the case that seventy years after the Soviets launched Sputnik into space, the US and its schools remain trapped in a ‘Sputnik moment.'

In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. About the size of a beach ball, Sputnik sent out radio signals that could be heard around the world. Its launch shocked the United States and began the Space Race—a competition to explore space. This video tells the story of how Sputnik changed history, inspired new inventions, and led to humans traveling to space. It marked the moment when people realized our future could reach beyond the stars.
