The launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in October 1957 led to a geopolitical crisis that reshaped American science policy. Within months, Congress established NASA, and by 1961, President Kennedy committed the nation to landing a man on the moon before the decade's end. The resulting investment was massive, and the program still serves as a model of government spending for advocates of public R&D. In a paper in the American Economic Review, authors Shawn Kantor and Alexander Whalley question whether the space race program succeeded as an economic policy that boosted economic growth and productivity. To estimate the space program's effects on economic growth from 1947 to 1992, the authors used data on NASA contractor spending and a novel identification strategy based on declassified CIA documents that allowed them to determine which US industries in which counties specialized in space-relevant technologies before the space race began. Their findings complicate the conventional narrative about public R&D and provide important context for current proposals to replicate so-called "moonshot" models in other domains. Kantor and Whalley recently spoke with Tyler Smith about the local effects of space race spending and why they didn't translate into long-term productivity gains.

A Nobel laureate on why we should sometimes trust scientists, and not politicians, to fix the futurePeter Agre won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2003, but he's not interested in playing God. Or even know-it-all. “When Nobel Prize winners start predicting what the stock market would do, or who's going to win the World Series, they may be beyond their specialty,” he says. Yet in his new book, Can Scientists Succeed Where Politicians Fail?, Agre claims that scientists have succeeded in defusing international crises where politicians have failed. He uses the 2015 Iran nuclear accord as an example, arguing that it only happened because two MIT-trained physicists spoke the same scientific language and brought presents for each other's grandchildren. Then Trump canceled it. Now, with RFK Jr. running American health policy and the CDC “decimated,” he fears for catastrophe. Peter Agre may not quite be God. But he's about as close as we will get in our polarized and paranoid world. * Science diplomacy works when politicians deadlock. The 2015 Iran nuclear accord succeeded because two MIT-trained physicists—Ernest Moniz and Ali Akbar Salehi—could speak the same technical language and find common ground where politicians like John Kerry and Javad Zarif had reached a standstill. They started by bringing presents for each other's grandchildren.* Trump's cancellation of the Iran deal exemplifies political failure. After scientists brokered a successful nuclear agreement involving the P5+1 nations, Trump withdrew from it, believing the deal wasn't “tough enough.” The result: “we're back to round zero,” undermining years of scientific diplomacy.* The bipartisan consensus on science has collapsed. During the Sputnik era, Republicans and Democrats united to fund NASA and transform American science education. Today, that unity is gone—COVID politicized science, Fauci became a lightning rod, and the traditional respect for scientific expertise has eroded across the political spectrum.* RFK Jr.'s health policies reflect “a lack of fundamental understanding.” Agre warns that Kennedy's anti-vaccine stance and the decimation of the CDC under his leadership are “dangerous” and “counterintuitive.” Measles, virtually absent from the Western Hemisphere, is now returning without leadership response. Catastrophe, Agre suggests, is not a question of if but when.* Scientists must inform policy without becoming know-it-alls. Agre argues that scientists shouldn't make all decisions but must make information accessible to those in power. The challenge: maintaining credibility and trust in an era when Americans are increasingly skeptical of expertise, and when standing up for science risks becoming unavoidably political.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Alpenkriminologiekongress - AKK Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der SAK - der Schweizer Arbeitsgruppe für Kriminologie findet der Kriminologie Kongress in der Perle der Alpen Saas-Fee statt. Die SAK wurde 1974 gegründet - zeitgleich mit der Geburt des Autors dieser doch so spannenden Geschichte. Im Gletscherdorf Saas-Fee trifft sich alles aus der Kriminologie was Rang und Namen hat. Nur Hubert ohne Staller sind wohl rein zufällig hier. Sie wurden in Wolfratshausen von Ihrer Chefin Frau Sabine Kaiser beurlaubt und ja verbringen nun Ihren Urlaub in Saas-Fee wo ja eben so rein zufällig das AKK stattfindet - ja der Alpenkriminolgie Kongress. Rein zufällig wurde Herr Gunti Häfliger ermordet und rein zufällig ist die Pathologin Frau Dr. Caroline Fuchs auch Teil dieser doch so interessanten Geschichte. So viele Zufälle ? Im Ernst - der Gunti isch tot ? Ermordet ? Wollte wohl sein Patent nicht herausrücken - seine Entwürfe der Erfindungen - wir erinnern uns an den W-Lan Duschkopf und das Schneeflockeninventarsieb ? Ja im Dorf geit der Hengert. Auch der Autor dieser doch so spannenden Geschichte ist emotional am Boden - den Tränen nahe - ja auch sein Körper besteht aus 80% Wasser, sehr nahe am Wasser und am Fendant. Was für eine Freundschaft hat sich da in den letzten Jahren entwickelt. Wie wohl Marie - die - ja beste Ehefrau von allen mit diesem Schmerz umgeht ? Nun gut - es sei ihr vergeben - das mit dem Inserat - ein schlechter Witz und ja wir erinner uns Ehemann sehr sehr günstig abzugeben. Nun ja - er wurde dem Bestattungsinstitut übergeben. Da Marie Häfliger eine Autopsie verlangte und man von keinem natürlichen Tod ausgeht wurde die Leiche nun ja auf dem Seziertisch von Frau. Dr. Caroline Fuchs seziert. Geschehen LIVE am AKK - doch was da geschah konnte keiner ahnen. Und ja da passt wohl kein besseres Lied in die Sendung als das BRANDNEUE LIED von SUE - Songs of Sue und jetzt wo ich gerade diese Zeilen schreibe weiss ich nur so viel - SUE hat in diesem Lied sehr viel persönliches verarbeitet. Es geht darin um persönliche Erfahrung am Arbeitsplatz mit dem VORGESETZTEN. Gerade habe ich auf Facebook das Video angeschaut - quasie the making off und Dialog mit dem CO-Writer. A murders ballad. Is a little creepy. I will bury you in black. RUN das neue Lied von Sue - pünktlich zu Halloween und bist Du so Halloween ? Valentin. Clementin. Adrenalin. Kerosin. Frau Dr. Caroline Fuchs ihrer Seite nun ja keine Emotionsbombe. Dies lässt Ihre Arbeit wohl nicht zu. Pathologin nun nichts für schwache Nerven und noch einen schwächeren Magen? Nie im Leben hat es sie in Erwägung gezogen - geschweige sich den Gedanken gemacht - privates und geschäftliches zu trennen. Sicher war da einmal dieser Mann auf ihrem Seziertisch wo sie dachte - schade um einen so schönen Mann aber eben - Schnaps isch Schnaps - und ja beim Gunti - any Feelings ? Sie dachte sich - der sieht - obwohl er so Tod vor ihr liegt - wie ein Stück totes Rinderviertel noch sehr sympathisch aus, aber das wars dann auch. Bedürftigkeit ist keine Grundlage für ein gesundes Zusammensein. Dies steht Heute auf dem Kalender in der Pathologie. In der Pathologie hört Dr.Frau Caroline Fuchs am liebsten Radio Supersaxo. Sie ist angetan von den Alpensendungen aber auch vom Walliser Podcast - Ische Hengert und dachte sich - so eine Pathologin oder Bestatterin wäre doch auch mal was - nicht wahr ? Radio Supersaxo ist offizieller Medien Partner des AKK und versorgt die Krimi Fans mit exklusiven Interviews und News. Gemäss Berichten wurde berichtet über einen Bericht, dass auch Magnum in Saas-Fee sei? Sputnik serviert in den Kaffeepausen frisches Roggengebäck. Zum Apéro gibt es Fendärboerg und Walliser Blätterteigschnecken mit Pesto Rosso di Vallese by Horny Chef. Gerade referiert Kommissar Shaun Määhloney im Podiumsgespräch mit Derrick über einen makabren Fall, der sehr viel Einfühlvermögen ab verlangte. Ein Mann ist eines Morgens rein zufällig auf den Kopf seiner Frau gestanden. Der Mann 174 cm gross und 134 Kilo schwer, sie können es sich vorstellen wie da der Kopf unter seinem Gewicht zerbrach, wie eine Wallnuss im Nussknacker oder eine leicht fauler Kürbis - SQUASH- Päng - Pädäng und wie könnte man dieses Geräusch wohl am besten beschreiben. Die Zuhörer:innen am Podiumsgespräch mit Derrick und ja sicher auch sie - fragen sich - wie steht man so rein zufällig auf den Kopf seiner Frau ? Der Angeklagte behauptet ja es war ein Unfall. Shaun Määhloney ermittelte und wollte ihn Anfangs wegen Mord - aber eben. Die Frau des Angeklagten lag sehr heiter angetrunken am Boden. Am Pfosten des Bettes. Auf dem Teppich. Im Schlafzimmer. Er im nun wie sagt man diesen neuen Better die etwas höher sind. ? BOXER Betten ? Da kommt man einfacher hinaus aber die Frau des Angeklagten scheiterte wohl beim Einstieg früh morgens in einem alkoholisierten Zustand - die Autopsie ergab 2.9 Promille und 12 verschieden Tabletten im Magen der Toten - ein Mix zwischen Andidepressiva - Schlafmittel - etc - ein tödlicher Mix. Ihre Alkohlabhängigkeit und wenig Bewegung seit Jahren so meint der Angeklagte - ein Selbstmord auf Raten? Sie wäre eh gestorben - früher oder später - mein der Angeklagte. Er meint es sei wohl auch eine Frage der Ethik und möge man ihn als Mörder verurteilen. Wem sei denn da geholfen ? Die Richterin im Prozess konnte auch nicht begreifen, wie man einfach so auf den Kopf seiner Frau - so aus versehen stehen möge, ob er denn nicht gesehen hätte, dass da seine Frau am Boden lag. Ihr und wohl vielen anderen im Gerichtssaal war das streng verdächtig ? Ihre sehr hochgeachtetet Frau Richterin fing der Angeklagte an zu referieren. Sie kennen es ja - morgens noch so im Delirium Alpineum - so richtig geschreddert vom tiefen Schlaf und den Träumen wo einem der Chef begegnet. Also meistens bin ich vor dem zu Bett gehen ja weniger müde als nach dem Schlaf. Ergeht es ihnen nicht auch so ? Also vor dem dritten Kaffee sehe ich nicht wirklich was vor - unter und neben meinen Füssen und ja beinahe wäre ich mal über den Hund gestanden, aber der hatte wohl mehr Glück oder einfach besser reagiert ? Wie gesagt, es war ein dummer Unfall, aber sicher wollte ich meine Frau nicht ermorden, das hat sie ja daran gearbeitet, an ihrem eigenen Tod, ich lieferte ich täglich ihre Ration, schenkte ihr grosszügig ein und bin vielleicht mit verantwortlich und wäre sie am Alkoholexzess gestorben. Ich - ja Ihr Lieblingsweinlieferant - ich wäre dann wohl Mittäter ihres eigenen Todes gewesen und nein - es braucht da einfach nur Geduld - wie gesagt - sie währe selbst vor sich hingestorben. Es ergibt kein Sinn zu morden. Sie verstehen. Motiv - Co Abhängiger - Leidensgenosse - und ja wie die Familie unter ihrer Depression und ihrer Sucht litt. Sie sprechen von Motiv ? Der Angeklagte wurde frei gesprochen. Shaun Määhloney versuchte unter keinen Umständen noch mehr Beweismaterial, Zeugenaufrufe etc und ja die ganze Nachbarschaft - Familie und Freunde wusste wie sehr der Angeklagte seine - ja die beste Ehefrau von allen seine Ehefrau hasste. Ein Hassliebe. Sie eine verwöhnte Narzisstin - er gefesselt in einer toxischen Beziehung. Man hatte viel Verständnis mit dem Angeklagten und der Fall - wie gesagt, verlange sehr viel Mitgefühl. Derrick sichtlich gerührt mit einer Träne in den Augen bat Harry schon mal den Wagen zu holen. ( Also das Elektro-Shuttle zu organisieren - by Metmet Bereck aus Nord-Nord-Mord ) Zurück - LIVE on STAGE auf Bühne Nr. 2 der AKK wo Frau Dr. Carloline Fuchs gerade anfangen wollte den Häfliger zu autopsieren. Seine Frau - also die Marie wollte von Frau Dr. Fuchs wissen - ob ihr Mann vor dem Tod noch Sex mit einer fremden Frau hatte. Die meisten Taten sind ja Beziehungstaten und die Marie unheimlich eifersüchtig. Er - also der Gunti konnte ja die Idee der offenen Beziehung mit ihr und anderen Frauen leider nie durchsetzen - wir erinnern uns. Im Radio läuft gerade das neue Lied vom Autor der Geschichte - She did not say anything. Yes she did not say anything - but that told me everything about her. If the Past doesn't shock your future - what is the point to be eaven her right now. In you - I feel understood, In you I can find a piece of my self. Bullocks. Bullocks. Bullocks. OCHS - OCHS - ich OCHS. Nun Frau Häfliger - Ihr Mann - der beste Ehemann von allen hatte mit keiner fremden Frau SEX, dies kann ich so bestätigen. Er hatte höchstens noch Sex mit sich selbst. Aber wollen wir den Toten nicht in bester Erinnerung ruhen lassen? Keine Eifersuchtstat also doch die Theorie - Raubmord - die Mörderin wollte wohl an die Pläne des Häfligers. ? Frau Dr. Caroline Fuchs hielt noch einmal das Glied des Häfligers in der Hand und es geschah was niemand ahnen konnte. Live auf der Bühne des AKK - auf dem Seziertisch - vor Publikum - die Kamera von Radio-TV Supersaxo zoomte auf - dieser in sich zusammengeschrumpft als ob er schon vor dem Tod verstarb. —my best looking friend wie der Gunti seinen Penis zärtlich nannte. Gott hab ihn Seelig. Frau Dr. Carloline Fuchs fing an zu singen - erinnernd an eine Musical Szene : so klein wie du ihn erhalten hast - so kleine musst du ihn zurückgeben. Und auf einmal - das Glied in ihren zärtlichen Händen. Sie in Ihrem Pathologie Mantel und im Ausschnitt sah man die Konturen des Walliser Schwarznasuschaf Woll Roll Chragu Decolte…..! Ach ja - das Glied in ihren zarten Händen ( Frau Dr. Prof Fuchs - also in Echt heisst Sie Susu Potzek oder so und ist verheiratet. Eigentlich schade. Nun gut verheiratet ist der Autor der Geschichte ja auch und dieses ständig daran erinnert zu werden, unnötig ) Ach ja - ja das Glied in ihren zärtlichen Händen - und nun kommen wir zum Höhepunkt der Geschichte - das Glied - der Penis - der Schwanz - his best looking friend im Zoom der Kamera - Frau Dr. Fuchs noch immer noch singend -Das Glied in ihren zärtlichen Händen fing auf einmal an zu zucken, sich zu erregen, zu hüpfen vor Freude und schaute Frau Dr. Fuchs zärtlich an. Eine kurze Weile danach erwachte auch der Rest des Körpers des Häfligers. Eine Wiedergeburt. Die Auferstehung der Toten. Im Wallfahrtsort Saas-Fee wo schon manch einem die Mutter Gottes vor der Kappelle zu hohen Stiege erschien. Aber eben - live in Stage - on Camera - ? Und nun führe mich nicht in Versuchung - die Fuchs und Häfliger ignorierten die Kameras - umarmte sich gegenseitig vor Freude. Er immer noch nackt wie ein Viertel totes Rind und sie entledigte sich ihrem Autopsie-Mantel….. dem Decolte…….. ! Wo isch jetzu z Marie wemus al mal brüchtiii ? Fertig.

Is UFO Disclosure dead? Join investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp for a rollicking ride through the wild world of UAPs, where Las Vegas ties clash with cosmic ties, and “Disclosure is dead" headlines get a much-needed autopsy. Is the post-2017 truth train derailed, or just rerouted through stubborn congressional hearings, shadowy intel whispers, and unyielding whistleblowers? The duo dissects Carl Nell's bombshell, skewers the flimsy "solved" narrative behind SUV-sized drone swarms over military bases, and dives into Avi Loeb's interstellar interloper (hint : it's probably not the alien armada you've been warned about). From Bill Maher's surprise UAP shoutout to Dr. Beatriz Villarroel's peer-reviewed bombshell of pre-Sputnik "ghost satellites", Corbell and Knapp unpack the week's weirder edges: Bigfoot saucer-spotting at Skinwalker Ranch, shadow beings lurking in secure silos, and why credible witnesses whisper about "fast-forward" entities zipping from crashed craft. Plus, a cinematic UFO avalanche alert - get hyped for Age of Disclosure, James Fox's Varginha alien hunt, Dave Paulides' Bigfoot-UFO mashup, and a fresh Bob Lazar doc.

Truly Significant presents the one and only Homer Hickam, best selling author of multiple books including Rocket Boys that was adapted for the feature movie October Sky. He was born in a small West Virginia coal town called Coalwood — a place where dreams were supposed to be buried as deep as the mines themselves. His daddy ran the mine, his mama ran the house, and young Homer Hickam? Well… he ran outside one October night in 1957 and looked up. There, streaking across the heavens, was Sputnik. And that—ladies and gentlemen—was the spark that lit a boy's heart on fire. While other boys were learning to swing pickaxes, Homer was learning to launch rockets. He and his friends—the “Rocket Boys”—turned a scrap heap into a laboratory, a coal-town canyon into a launch pad, and failure after failure into something far greater: faith in possibility.They were ridiculed by some, doubted by most. But Homer believed that curiosity was a kind of courage. He believed that science and wonder could lift a man out of his circumstances, without losing sight of where he came from. And years later, after college, after the Vietnam War, after NASA… Homer Hickam came home—not just to Coalwood, but to America's imagination.His memoir Rocket Boys became the book that inspired the film October Sky. A story that reminded us all that genius can bloom anywhere, that small towns can grow big dreams, and that sometimes—just sometimes—the most significant discoveries aren't found in outer space… …but within ourselves.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Don't let the episode title fool you--we're still covering J Allen Hynek. But we're considering the period of his career in which a number of important events transpired, including the launch of the Russians' bleeping ball of evil, as well as the construction of the mysterious, time-traveling sound bath, the Integratron. See you in a couple of weeks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
From banging his shoe at the UN to launching Sputnik into space, Nikita Khrushchev was bold, unpredictable, and unforgettable.
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins Brian Keating to discuss a groundbreaking observation: the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has imaged 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar visitor, from the vantage point of Mars. In this episode, we explore: • What HiRISE detected and why it matters for planetary science. • How interstellar objects like ʻOumuamua and 3I/ATLAS challenge our theories. • Why Mars may become an ideal outpost for detecting future interstellar visitors. • The implications for astrobiology, planetary defense, and our search for extraterrestrial technology. ✨ Just as the 1977 “Wow! Signal” jolted radio astronomers with a one-time unexplained burst, 3I/ATLAS may be its optical cousin—an anomalous, fleeting, but potentially transformative messenger. Loeb even calculated that 3I/ATLAS's trajectory passed within about one degree of the Wow! Signal's sky position, making the connection more than metaphorical. Ignoring such rare alignments risks repeating history: anomalies slip through our fingers while orthodoxy insists nothing unusual happened. The Wow! Signal warned us of the danger of complacency; 3I/ATLAS reminds us that cosmic surprises often lurk at the margins of expectation, carrying lessons we may miss if we force every mystery into old categories. -

The Do One Better! Podcast – Philanthropy, Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship
Philanthropy faces a “Sputnik moment” in science funding. Ari Simon, President of Tambourine Philanthropies, shares why the U.S. research system is under existential threat — and how foundations can step up now. In this episode, you'll learn: Why labs, postdocs, and decades of data are at risk from sudden funding cuts Four immediate philanthropic responses to keep research alive How tools like recoverable grants, guarantees, and IP-based financing can bridge gaps Why supporting early-career scientists and researcher well-being is urgent Visit our Knowledge Hub at Lidji.org for information on 300 case studies and interviews with remarkable leaders in philanthropy, sustainability and social entrepreneurship.
At the EUVC Summit 2025, the stage belonged to a voice shaped by geopolitics, defense, and the future of industrial innovation: Sebastian von Ribbentrop, Managing Partner at Join Capital.Sebastian took us on a journey—one that started in Berlin in 2017 with a cornerstone commitment from Eiser Capital, and has since expanded to NATO, Ukraine, and beyond.Not Just Startups. Not Just Capital.Join was born when European engineers left corporates like Siemens and Airbus to build their own ventures—but weren't getting funded.Sebastian and his team stepped in. Today, with 148 LPs (90% from across Europe's industrial heartlands), Join has become a backbone for the builders reimagining enterprise and defense.The paradigm shift became undeniable in 2023, when the NATO Innovation Fund wrote its largest ticket into Join Fund II. It wasn't just capital—it was a mandate to help reshape defense and industrialization.A New Industrial MomentFrom Washington's NATO anniversary to trips into Ukraine, Sebastian's message was clear: the defense supply chain has transformed.It is now:FastTargetedSmartAnd while Europe faces inefficiencies (43 different tanks vs. one Abrams in the U.S.), it also faces a massive market opportunity.Billions at PlayThe scale is unprecedented:€200 billion from Ursula von der Leyen into defense & infrastructure€500+ billion from Germany's new chancellor, Matz$500 billion floated by Trump over the next five yearsThese aren't subsidies—they're revenues. Offset programs that give companies the ability to build products, not just pitch ideas.DARPA, Dual Use & the Technology RaceSebastian reminded the room: shocks create breakthroughs. Sputnik birthed DARPA, which still deploys $4 billion annually into challenges.Now, the race is on—dual-use technology, export restrictions, inexpensive smart radar systems taking down next-gen jets.Europe, he argued, must catch up. But it has the chance to lead.“Geopolitics,” he quoted Kissinger, “is 100% personal.” And Europe must take responsibility—urgently.Leadership With TeethSebastian's talk wasn't about abstractions. It was about:How wars reshape supply chains overnightHow NATO's backing changes venture capitalHow Europe can seize its industrial and defense momentBecause leadership in this decade won't be written in press releases. It will be written in supply chains, radar systems, and the speed of capital deployment.Congratulations to Sebastian von Ribbentrop and Join Capital—for reminding the ecosystem that industrial innovation isn't just defense spending. It's Europe's opportunity to lead in a world being reshaped, fast.
The race for global AI dominance has crucial implications for governments and financial markets. Much like Sputnik, this isn't just about a single technological achievement. Confluence Associate Market Strategist Thomas Wash discusses how the future of the global order is at stake and offers some guidelines for investors.
Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. There are still lots of questions and not a lot of answers after a bold Israeli airstrike targeted a meeting of Hamas’s top leaders in Qatar’s capital, Doha, on Tuesday. According to some reports, the leadership had gathered to discuss a new US-sponsored hostage-ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza. At publication, reports still differ as to whether the attack was successful. And just before recording on Wednesday, the IDF confirmed it had carried out strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, saying it struck military camps where operatives were gathered, the headquarters of the terror group’s propaganda division, and a fuel depot, in both Sanaa and in the al-Jawf area north of the capital. Borschel-Dan asks Rettig Gur: Is Israel acting like an unpredictable "Middle Easterner" to restore deterrence on all fronts?

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. There are still lots of questions and not a lot of answers after a bold Israeli airstrike targeted a meeting of Hamas’s top leaders in Qatar’s capital, Doha, on Tuesday. According to some reports, the leadership had gathered to discuss a new US-sponsored hostage-ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza. At publication, reports still differ as to whether the attack was successful. And just before recording on Wednesday, the IDF confirmed it had carried out strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, saying it struck military camps where operatives were gathered, the headquarters of the terror group’s propaganda division, and a fuel depot, in both Sanaa and in the al-Jawf area north of the capital. Borschel-Dan asks Rettig Gur: Is Israel acting like an unpredictable "Middle Easterner" to restore deterrence on all fronts? In a quick-take conversation, we hear why Rettig Gur doesn't put much weight into diplomatic theatrics as Israel fights its existential war against the Hamas terror group that launched the war on October 7, 2023.

Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, the First Manned Flight to Another World Author: Bob Zimmerman Segment 4: NASA's Daring Gamble: Responding to Soviet Failures NASA's decision to send Apollo 8 on a circumlunar mission was a bold, aggressive move spurred by the Soviet Zondprogram. While the lunar module was behind schedule, George Low, manager of the Apollo program, proposed sending Apollo 8 to the moon after observing Soviet progress and knowing a simple Earth orbit repetition was a waste. The Soviets experienced failures with Zond 4 (self-destructed), Zond 5 (ballistic re-entry), and Zond 6 (lost atmosphere), which canceled their manned lunar mission. Low and Sam Phillips made the decision, informing a furious but ultimately supportive James Webb, NASA's head. This "gamble" was driven by the desire to prove American capabilities in the space race. 1957 SPUTNIK
The Justice brothers are back from Labor Day and dive into one of the biggest catalysts of the year: the unemployment report. From “bad news is good news” to “good news is bad news,” they map out all four possible outcomes and how each could impact bonds, equities, and the dollar. They also review RSP, small-caps, and the Dow to see if breadth can keep strengthening the bull case. The discussion then shifts to China's AI surge—Alibaba's blowout growth, a domestic chip launch aimed at Nvidia, and DeepSeek's disruptive “Sputnik moment.” Add in September's seasonal headwinds, a packed “Stock It or Drop It” lineup (Ulta, Snowflake, CrowdStrike, Dick's, Wheaton, Delta, Citi), plus Coaches Corner on covered calls, tariffs, and trading setups—and you've got a can't-miss episode.

Rymdkapplöpningen mellan USA och Sovjetunionen tog ordentlig fart efter att Sovjet skjutit upp satelliten Sputnik 1 i omloppsbana runt jorden den 4 oktober 1957, men drömmarna om att resa ut i rymden har funnits sedan antiken.Både de amerikanska och sovjetiska rymdprogrammen tog avstamp i Nazitysklands utveckling av robotar under andra världskriget. Och trots att bägge rymdprogrammen presenterades som civila fanns det i allra högsta grad militära bevekelsegrunder.I denna repris av av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Björn Lundberg om kampen om rymden. Björn Lundberg är aktuell med boken Kampen om rymden.När världen förundrades över Sovjetunionens uppskjutning av världens första satellit Sputnik 1 i omloppsbana runt jorden den 4 oktober var amerikanarna i chock över att det kommunistiska Sovjetunionen hann före ute i rymden. Sputnik 1 är startpunkten på en rymdkapplöpning som nådde sitt klimax med den amerikanska månlandningen den 20 juli 1969 med Apollo-programmet.Efter Sputnik chockade Sovjet USA igen genom kosmonauten Gagarins första rymdflygning den 12 april 1961 i omloppsbana runt jorden. Efter det bestämde amerikanarna att de skulle sätta ett mål så utmanande och krävande att Sovjetunionen inte skulle hänga med. Den 25 maj förklarade den nytillträdde presidenten John F Kennedy att USA innan 1960-talets slut skulle sätta en man på månen och få honom hem igen.Lyssna också på Berlinmuren – kalla krigets främsta symbol.Bild:Apollo 17-uppdrag, 12 december 1972.

Our analysts Adam Jonas and Alex Straton discuss how tech-savvy young professionals are influencing retail, brand loyalty, mobility trends, and the broader technology landscape through their evolving consumer choices. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Adam Jonas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley's Embodied AI and Humanoid Robotics Analyst. Alex Straton: And I'm Alex Straton, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Softlines Retail and Brands Analyst. Adam Jonas: Today we're unpacking our annual summer intern survey, a snapshot of how emerging professionals view fashion retail, brands, and mobility – amid all the AI advances.It is Tuesday, August 26th at 9am in New York.They may not manage billions of dollars yet, but Morgan Stanley's summer interns certainly shape sentiment on the street, including Wall Street. From sock heights to sneaker trends, Gen Z has thoughts. So, for the seventh year, we ran a survey of our summer interns in the U.S. and Europe. The survey involved more than 500 interns based in the U.S., and about 150 based in Europe. So, Alex, let's start with what these interns think about fashion and athletic footwear. What was your biggest takeaway from the intern survey? Alex Straton: So, across the three categories we track in the survey – that's apparel, athletic footwear, and handbags – there was one clear theme, and that's market fragmentation. So, for each category specifically, we observed share of the top three to five brands falling over time. And what that means is these once dominant brands, as consumer mind share is falling – and it likely makes them lower growth margin and multiple businesses over time. At the same time, you have smaller brands being able to captivate consumer attention more effectively, and they have staying power in a way that they haven't necessarily historically. I think one other piece I would just add; the rise of e-commerce and social media against a low barrier to entry space like apparel and footwear means it's easier to build a brand than it has been in the past. And the intern survey shows us this likely continues as this generation is increasingly inclined to shop online. Their social media usage is heavy, and they heavily rely on AI to inform, you know, their purchases.So, the big takeaway for me here isn't that the big are getting bigger in my space. It's actually that the big are probably getting smaller as new players have easier avenues to exist. Adam Jonas: Net apparel spending intentions rose versus the last survey, despite some concern around deteriorating demand for this category into the back half. What do you make of that result? Alex Straton: I think there were a bit conflicting takes from the survey when I look at all the answers together. So yes, apparel spending intentions are higher year-over-year, but at the same time, clothing and footwear also ranked as the second most category that interns would pull back on should prices go up. So let me break this down. On the higher spending intentions, I think timing played a huge role and a huge factor in the results. So, we ran this in July when spending in our space clearly accelerated. That to me was a function of better weather, pent up demand from earlier in the quarter, a potential tariff pull forward as headlines were intensifying, and then also typical back to school spending. So, in short, I think intention data is always very heavily tethered to the moment that it's collected and think that these factors mean, you know, it would've been better no matter what we've seen it in our space. I think on the second piece, which is interns pulling back spend should prices go up. That to me speaks to the high elasticity in this category, some of the highest in all of consumer discretionary. And that's one of the few drivers informing our cautious demand view on this space as we head into the back half. So, in summary on that piece, we think prices going higher will become more apparent this month onwards, which in tandem with high inventory and a competitive setup means sales could falter in the group. So, we still maintain this cautious demand view as we head into the back half, though our interns were pretty rosy in the survey. Adam Jonas: Interesting. So, interns continue to invest in tech ecosystems with more than 90 percent owning multiple devices. What does this interconnectedness mean for companies in your space? Alex Straton: This somewhat connects to the fragmentation theme I mentioned where I think digital shopping has somewhat functioned as a great equalizer in the space and big picture. I interpret device reliance as a leading indicator that this market diversification likely continues as brands fight to capture mobile mind share. The second read I'd have on this development is that it means brands must evolve to have an omnichannel presence. So that's both in store and online, and preferably one that's experiential focus such that this generation can create content around it. That's really the holy grail. And then maybe lastly, the third takeaway on this is that it's going to come at a cost. You, you can't keep eyeballs without spend. And historical brick and mortar retailers spend maybe 5 to 10 percent of sales on marketing, with digital requiring more than physical. So now I think what's interesting is that brands in my space with momentum seem to have to spend more than 10 percent of sales on marketing just to maintain popularity. So that's a cost pressure. We're not sure where these businesses will necessarily recoup if all of them end up getting the joke and continuing to invest just to drive mind share. Adam, turning to a topic that's been very hot this year in your area of expertise. That's humanoid robots. Interns were optimistic here with more than 60 percent believing they'll have many viable use cases and about the same number thinking they'll replace many human jobs. Yet fewer expect wide scale adoption within five years. What do you think explains this cautious enthusiasm? Adam Jonas: Well actually Alex, I think it's pretty smart. There is room to be optimistic. But there's definitely room to be cautious in terms of the scale of adoption, particularly over five years. And we're talking about humanoid robots. We're talking about a new species that's being created, right? This is bigger than just – will it replace our job? I mean, I don't think it's an exaggeration to ask what does this do to the concept of being human? You know, how does this affect our children and future generations? This is major generational planetary technology that I think is very much comparable to electricity, the internet. Some people say the wheel, fire, I don't know. We're going to see it happen and start to propagate over the next few years, where even if we don't have widespread adoption in terms of dealing with it on average hour of a day or an average day throughout the planet, you're going to see the technology go from zero to one as these machines learn by watching human behavior. Going from teleoperated instruction to then fully autonomous instruction, as the simulation stack and the compute gets more and more advanced. We're now seeing some industry leaders say that robots are able to learn by watching videos. And so, this is all happening right now, and it's happening at the pace of geopolitical rivalry, Sino-U.S. rivalry and terra cap, you know, big, big corporate competitive rivalry as well, for capital in the human brain. So, we are entering an unprecedented – maybe precedented in the last century – perhaps unprecedented era of technological and scientific discovery that I think you got to go back to the European and American Enlightenment or the Italian Renaissance to have any real comparisons to what we're about to see. Alex Straton: So, keeping with this same theme, interns showed strong interest in household robots with 61 percent expressing some interest and 24 percent saying they're very or extremely interested. I'm going to take you back to your prior coverage here, Adam. Could this translate into demand for AI driven mobility or smart infrastructure? Adam Jonas: Well, Alex, you were part of my prior coverage once upon a time. We were blessed with having you on our team for a year, and then you left me… Alex Straton: My golden era. Adam Jonas: But you came back, you came back. And you've done pretty well. So, so look, imagine it's 1903, the Wright Brothers just achieved first flight over the sands at Kitty Hawk. And then I were to tell you, ‘Oh yeah, in a few years we're going to have these planes used in World War I. And then in 1914, we'd have the first airline going between Tampa and St. Petersburg.' You'd say, ‘You're crazy,' right? The beauty of the intern survey is it gives the Morgan Stanley research department and our clients an opportunity to engage that surface area with that arising – not just the business leader – but that arising tech adopter. These are the people, these are the men and women that are going to kind of really adopt this much, much faster. And then, you know, our generation will get dragged into it eventually. So, I think it says; I think 61 percent expressing even some interest. And then 24 [percent], I guess, you know… The vast majority, three quarters saying, ‘Yeah, this is happening.' That's a sign I think, to our clients and capital market providers and regulators to say, ‘This won't be stopped. And if we don't do it, someone else will.' Alex Straton: So, another topic, Generative AI. It should come as no surprise really, that 95 percent of interns use that tool monthly, far ahead of the general population. How do you see this shaping future expectations for mobility and automation? Adam Jonas: So, this is what's interesting is people have asked kinda, ‘What's that Gen AI moment,' if you will, for mobility? Well, it really is Gen AI. Large Language Models and the technologies that develop the Large Language Models and that recursive learning, don't just affect the knowledge economy, right. Or writing or research report generation or intelligence search. It actually also turns video clips and physical information into tokens that can then create and take what would be a normal suburban city street and beautiful weather with smiling faces or whatever, and turn it into a chaotic scene of, you know, traffic and weather and all sorts of infrastructure issues and potholes. And that can be done in this digital twin, in an omniverse. A CEO recently told me when you drive a car with advanced, you know, Level 2+ autonomy, like full self-driving, you're not just driving in three-dimensional space. You're also playing a video game training a robot in a digital avatar. So again, I think that there is quite a lot of overlap between Gen AI and the fact that our interns are so much further down that curve of adoption than the broader public – is probably a hint to us is we got to keep listening to them, when we move into the physical realm of AI too. Alex Straton: So, no more driving tests for the 16-year-olds of the future... Adam Jonas: If you want to. Like, I tell my kids, if you want to drive, that's cool. Manual transmission, Italian sports cars, that's great. People still ride horses too. But it's just for the privileged few that can kind of keep these things in stables. Alex Straton: So, let me turn this into implications for companies here. Gen Z is tech fluent, open to disruption? How should autos and shared mobility providers rethink their engagement strategies with this generation? Adam Jonas: Well, that's a huge question. And think of the irony here. As we bring in this world of fake humans and humanoid robots, the scarcest resource is the human brain, right? So, this battle for the human mind is – it's incredible. And we haven't seen this really since like the Sputnik era or real height of the Cold War. We're seeing it now play out and our clients can read about some of these signing bonuses for these top AI and robotics talent being paid by many companies. It kind of makes, you know, your eyes water, even if you're used to the world of sports and soccer, . I think we're going to keep seeing more of that for the next few years because we need more brains, we need more stem. I think it's going to do; it has the potential to do a lot for our education system in the United States and in the West broadly. Alex Straton: So, we've covered a lot around what the next generation is interested in and, and their opinion. I know we do this every year, so it'll be exciting to see how this evolves over time. And how they adapt. It's been great speaking with you today, Adam. Adam Jonas: Absolutely. Alex, thanks for your insights. And to our listeners, stay curious, stay disruptive, and we'll catch you next time.

From the Lock Tavern via The Gun to spoons… Family Silver are Mr Nick ‘The Gun' Stephens and Casper ‘Volte Face' Clark. Nick was the publican at The Gun, a much-loved Hackney institution that recently closed its doors – more on that here for those who have been living under a rock. Nick's excellent Netil radio show can also be found here. Casper, is based in Clapton and was the music programmer for Camden institution The Lock Tavern where our paths originally crossed – most of the time being kicked out whilst DJing. Casper's shared stages with Justice, Jeff Mills, Helena Hauff, Daniel Avery and many more and is also known for his long-running BleeD events via which he collaborated with labels like Blackest Ever Black, PAN and Downwards. Both share a love for “v lo-fi early eighties sound, kosmische, post-punk and scuzzy electronics,” with Nick's influences ranging from 80s TV themes and Giorgio Moroder to The KLF, while Casper was shaped in his youth by electronic acts like Leftfield, Underworld, and William Orbit with DJ Hell's International Deejay Gigolo Records becoming a huge influence later on. Their sound sits between post-punk and the electronic… so with that in mind let's give it a listen shall we? Handily via the wonder of a recording from this year's Field Maneuvers where they opened The Gun's stage.

GPS is essential these days. We use it for everything, from a hunter figuring out where the heck they are in the backcountry, to a delivery truck finding a grocery store, to keeping clocks in sync.But our reliance on GPS may also be changing our brains. Old school navigation strengthens the hippocampus, and multiple studies suggest that our new reliance on satellite navigation may put us at higher risk for conditions like dementia.In this episode (first released in 2024), we map out how GPS took over our world—from Sputnik's Doppler effect to the airplane crash that led to its widespread adoption—and share everyday stories of getting lost and found again.Featuring Dana Goward, M.R. O'Connor, Christina Phillips, Michelle Liu, Julia Furukawa, and Taylor Quimby.Produced by Nate Hegyi. For full credits and transcript, visit outsideinradio.org. LINKSIn 2023, Google Maps rerouted dozens of drivers in Los Angeles down a dirt road to the middle of nowhere to avoid a dust storm. Maura O'Connor traveled from rural Alaska to the Australian bush to better understand how people navigate without GPS—and sometimes even maps. Here's the peer-reviewed study, published in the journal Nature, that found that young people who relied on GPS for daily driving had poorer spatial memories. Another study out of Japan found that people who use smartphone apps like Google Maps to get around had a tougher time retracing their steps or remembering how they got to a place compared to people who use paper maps or landmarks.
Multi-agent AI systems are moving from theory to enterprise reality, and in this episode, Babak Hodjat, CTO of AI at Cognizant, explains why he believes they represent the future of business. Speaking from his AI R&D lab in San Francisco, Babak outlines how his team is both deploying these systems inside Cognizant and helping clients build their own, breaking down organisational silos, coordinating processes, and improving decision-making. We discuss how the arrival of optimized, open-source models like DeepSeek is accelerating AI democratization, making it viable to run capable agents on far smaller infrastructure. Babak explains why this is not a “Sputnik moment” for AI, but a powerful industry correction that opens the door for more granular, cost-effective agents. This shift is enabling richer, more scalable multi-agent networks, with agents that can not only perform autonomous tasks but also communicate and collaborate with each other. Babak also introduces Cognizant's open-sourced Neuro-AI Network platform, designed to be model and cloud agnostic while supporting large-scale coordination between agents. By separating the opaque AI model from the fully controllable code layer, the platform builds in safeguards for trust, data handling, and access control, addressing one of the most pressing challenges in AI adoption. Looking ahead, Babak predicts rapid growth in multi-agent ecosystems, including inter-company agent communication and even self-evolving agent networks. He also stresses the importance of open-source collaboration in AI's next chapter, warning that closed, proprietary approaches risk slowing innovation and eroding trust. This is a deep yet accessible conversation for anyone curious about how enterprise AI is evolving from single, monolithic models to flexible, distributed systems that can adapt and scale.

Back on this day in 1958, NASA was established. NASA was created in response to the Soviet Union launching their Sputnik 1. The agency ended up launching many manned missions to space and won the Space Race when they sent Apollo 11 to the Moon in 1969.
This Day in Legal History: Eisenhower Signs Act Creating NASAOn July 29, 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act into law, officially creating NASA. The legislation emerged in response to growing Cold War tensions and the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik the previous year. It marked a pivotal shift in U.S. federal priorities, establishing a civilian-led space agency to coordinate scientific exploration, aeronautics research, and peaceful uses of space. NASA began operations on October 1, 1958, absorbing the earlier National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and ushering in a new era of government-backed technological ambition.Over the decades, NASA has become a symbol of American innovation, from landing astronauts on the moon to deploying the Hubble Space Telescope. Its work has catalyzed advancements not only in spaceflight, but also in climate science, materials engineering, and telecommunications. The legal framework underpinning NASA reflects a national consensus that science and exploration are critical public goods deserving of federal investment and support.But 67 years later, that consensus is showing strain. Just yesterday, NASA announced that nearly 4,000 employees—about 20% of its workforce—are leaving the agency through the Trump administration's deferred resignation program. This mass exodus follows proposed budget cuts and internal restructuring driven by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a key player in Trump's effort to slash the federal workforce.The timing couldn't be worse. The administration has called for both sweeping workforce reductions and a significant budget cut of nearly 24% for FY 2026, even as it touts long-term funding increases in the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Scientists and space advocates, including The Planetary Society, have criticized the inconsistency, calling it a direct threat to American leadership in space. A group of over 300 NASA employees echoed that concern in a public letter this week, denouncing the changes as "rapid and wasteful" and warning that they jeopardize the agency's mission.What began as a proud moment of bipartisan support for science and exploration now faces a political climate where expertise is undervalued and institutional stability is sacrificed for short-term optics.Nearly 4,000 NASA employees opt to leave agency through deferred resignation programIn her latest appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, Ghislaine Maxwell argues that her 2021 federal sex trafficking conviction should be overturned because it violated a 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) originally struck between Jeffrey Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida. Maxwell contends that the agreement, which shielded Epstein and his unnamed co-conspirators from federal charges in exchange for his state-level plea, should have also barred her later prosecution in New York. The Justice Department disputes this, saying the NPA applied only to the Southern District of Florida and does not merit Supreme Court review. Maxwell's brief criticizes the DOJ for focusing on Epstein's misconduct rather than the legal scope of the deal, framing the issue as one of government accountability to its promises. The Second Circuit previously upheld her conviction, finding no evidence that the NPA was meant to apply nationally. However, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers filed a brief supporting Maxwell, arguing that even atypical agreements must be honored if made by the government. Political tensions surrounding the Epstein case continue to complicate matters, as Maxwell recently met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche amid renewed scrutiny of the Trump administration's handling of Epstein's prosecution. The Supreme Court is expected to consider whether to hear the case in late September.Ghislaine Maxwell Tells Supreme Court Epstein Deal Shielded HerThe Trump administration has filed a judicial misconduct complaint against Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, accusing him of violating judicial ethics by expressing concerns that the administration might defy court rulings, potentially triggering a constitutional crisis. The complaint centers on comments Boasberg allegedly made during a March meeting of the judiciary's policymaking body, which included Chief Justice John Roberts. The Justice Department argues that these remarks, later echoed in his rulings, undermined judicial impartiality—particularly in a case where Boasberg blocked the deportation of Venezuelan migrants using wartime powers under the Alien Enemies Act. The administration claims Boasberg acted on a political bias when he found probable cause to hold it in criminal contempt for defying his deportation order. The DOJ has asked the D.C. Circuit to reassign the case and refer the complaint to a special investigative panel. Boasberg, appointed to the federal bench by President Obama after an earlier nomination to the D.C. Superior Court by President George W. Bush, has not publicly responded. The D.C. Circuit stayed his contempt finding, and a final ruling is still pending.Trump administration files misconduct complaint against prominent judge Boasberg | ReutersThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has extended the suspension of 98-year-old Judge Pauline Newman for another year, citing her continued refusal to undergo a full neuropsychological evaluation to assess her fitness to serve. Despite submitting medical reports from her own experts asserting she is mentally competent, the court concluded that those reports were insufficient and contained inaccuracies, including concerns about memory issues and fainting episodes. Newman's legal team criticized the court's swift decision, arguing that their evidence and arguments were not seriously considered following a recent hearing. Newman, a respected patent law jurist appointed by President Reagan in 1984, is the oldest active federal judge who has not taken senior status and has been a prominent dissenter on the Federal Circuit. The court originally suspended her in 2023 after Chief Judge Kimberly Moore raised concerns about her cognitive and physical condition. Newman sued over the suspension, but her case was dismissed; it is now under review by a separate federal appeals court. The latest ruling reaffirms the court's insistence on comprehensive testing before any reconsideration of her judicial role.US appeals court extends suspension of 98-year-old judge in fitness probe | ReutersDonald Trump has asked a federal court to expedite a deposition of Rupert Murdoch in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over a July 17 article linking him to Jeffrey Epstein. The article claimed Trump sent Epstein a 2003 birthday greeting that included a suggestive drawing and cryptic references to shared secrets—allegations Trump calls fabricated. In a court filing, Trump's lawyers said he informed Murdoch before publication that the letter was fake, and Murdoch allegedly responded that he would “take care of it,” which they argue demonstrates actual malice—a necessary legal threshold in defamation cases involving public figures. Trump's team is seeking Murdoch's testimony within 15 days, and Judge Darrin Gayles has ordered Murdoch to respond by August 4. The article's release has intensified political scrutiny of Trump's handling of the Epstein investigation. Legal analysts note Trump faces an uphill battle given the stringent standards for proving defamation, especially against media outlets. Dow Jones, which publishes the Journal, said it stands by its reporting and intends to vigorously defend the case.Trump asks for swift deposition of Murdoch in Epstein defamation case | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week argues that the latest shift in federal tax law—the move from the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) regime to the net controlled foreign corporation tested income (NCTI) system—should push states to reassess their habitual conformity to the Internal Revenue Code. NCTI expands the scope of taxable foreign income for U.S. multinationals, reflecting a broader federal effort to combat base erosion and bolster global competitiveness. But when states automatically conform to these changes—especially through rolling conformity—they risk inheriting complex, federally motivated rules that don't align with their economic interests or legal authority.Rolling conformity is a mechanism by which a state automatically updates its tax code to reflect changes in the federal Internal Revenue Code as they occur, without requiring separate legislative action. While rolling conformity can reduce administrative friction, it's increasingly problematic in an era of aggressive and frequent federal tax rewrites. States adopting NCTI may find themselves without key federal mechanisms like foreign tax credits or Section 250 deductions, exposing them to potential legal challenges over extraterritorial taxation and apportionment. These lawsuits could be expensive, prolonged, and ultimately hinge on issues that federal tax policy has already moved past. I argue that states need to move beyond passive conformity and take an intentional, sovereign approach to tax policy—reviewing conformity statutes now, decoupling where necessary, and preparing to defend their fiscal independence in the face of Washington's rapid policy swings.Trump Tax Law Should Spur States to Split From Federal ‘Pendulum' This is a public episode.

Chapter 23 opens with a sweeping exploration of how the Space Force emerged from a decades-long struggle between visionaries and entrenched bureaucracy. In this conversation, retired Air Force General Stephen Kwast recounts how the idea of space dominance was born in the minds of strategists as far back as the 1940s and why it took until 2019, and the political will of President Trump, to finally establish an independent military branch. General Kwast explains how the Space Force differs from Space Command, why consolidating satellite control was a historic milestone, and how public-private partnerships with companies like SpaceX will transform defense and daily life. The discussion charts the path from Sputnik to Starlink, weaving in Cold War lessons, bureaucratic infighting, and the technological breakthroughs needed to fuel what he calls a golden age. Throughout, the episode warns of the dangers of overclassification, the fragility of centralized systems, and the urgency of building resilience. The narrative closes with a powerful call for civic vigilance and the conviction that space power will be the cornerstone of America's security and prosperity in the years ahead.

In 1968, six-year-old Andrew Basiago stepped through Tesla's teleportation device and emerged at Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863. He was part of Project Pegasus, DARPA's classified program using technology reverse-engineered from Tesla's confiscated research. The program began after Sputnik shocked America into creating DARPA to prevent technological surprises. When scientists rediscovered Tesla's stolen files, they found blueprints for a teleportation machine that could bend space and time using zero-point energy. Adult test subjects either vanished, aged rapidly, or arrived in pieces across different moments. Only children's flexible minds could handle temporal displacement, so DARPA recruited 140 young "chrononauts" for missions throughout history. By 1980, the technology evolved to transport people to Mars, where Basiago claims he served alongside Barry Soetoro - later known as Barack Obama. But the program unlocked more than time travel - it opened doorways to infinite parallel realities that the government desperately tries to keep hidden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCjo9KBpK9I SOURCES & LINKS Tesla's Stolen Tech and the New Arms Race: • Weather Weapons & Worse | Tesla's Stolen T...
