Former astronaut and fighter pilot and current Senatorial candidate from Texas Terry Virts makes a very prescient prediction of the effects of Trump’s cuts to science (this was recorded two weeks ago). He also recounts his own call to service, his frustration with the current Democratic Party, the disaster of Trump’s immigration manipulations, and Texas’ place in the world.(www.terryvirts.com)

He was a fighter pilot, then an astronaut, and now a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator from Texas. Terry Virts saw Russia attack Ukraine while sitting alongside cosmonauts in the International Space Station. Now he sees the party in charge of America attacking... America. Terry Virts gives his first podcast interview after announcing his candidacy.(www.terryvirts.com)

Retired astronaut, International Space Station Commander and colonel in the United States Air Force sits down with Frank Mackay on this episode of The Frank Mackay Show!

Two NASA astronauts are in the midst of an extended, headline-grabbing, eight-month stay in orbit. So we turned to Terry Virts, former commander of the International Space Station, as our official PTFO Outer Space Correspondent. Because he was stranded there for 200 days after his cargo ship blew up — low on underwear, polo shirts and his beloved borscht. Turns out, there are way worse places to be than staring out a Russian dorm-room window while watching bombs, auroras, typhoons and the very essence of human nature, from 250 miles up. Also: how to pee, dream and listen to Hans Zimmer without gravity. (Hint: Do not raw-dog the universe.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today on the Dads with Daughters Podcast, we bring you father, astronaut and author Terry Virts. We talk together about fatherhood, being an astronaut and what he has learned about life by looking at the Earth from the outside. Colonel (retired) Terry Virts has spent over seven months in space during his two spaceflights, piloting the Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-130 in 2010, and commanding the International Space Station during Expedition 42 and 43. He is an avid photographer and has taken the most ever photographs in space, more than 319,000 images altogether. He served in the US Air Force as a fighter pilot, test pilot, NASA astronaut, and is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and Harvard Business School.  The first book Terry read as a child was about the Apollo moon missions and he was hooked. He grew up with posters of airplanes and rockets and galaxies on his bedroom wall, and when he wasn't playing baseball or football, he was reading books about astronomy or astronauts or teaching himself how to program computers. Terry also fell in love with traveling at a young age; he lived in Finland as an exchange student in high school and attended the French Air Force Academy for a semester during college. He has since travelled to all seven continents and lived in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Russia.

Alex Stone Car chase // Alex Stone talks missing submerger // Col. Terry Virts talks Hamish

Retired Nasa astronaut Colonel Terry Virts good friend to Hamish Harding and one of the last people he texted before he went on the ‘Titan' Submersible. The text read: 'Hey, we're headed out tomorrow, it looks good, the weather's been bad so they've been waiting for this.'

Col. Terry Virts (ret.) served as a U.S. Air Force test fighter pilot, is a NASA veteran of two spaceflights and a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Harvard Business School. In 2019 he directed his first film, One More Orbit. His second book, How to Astronaut, continues to amass excellent reviews. He is currently involved in several film and television projects, serves on corporate boards, consults to the entertainment industry, writes and promotes public policy.​ He is a celebrated thought leader, speaker and author whose ​seven months in space included: piloting the Space Shuttle; commanding the International Space Station; three spacewalks; and performing scientific experiments, while working closely with multiple international partners. Virts worked with Russian Space Agency cosmonauts during some of the most stressful U.S.-Russian relations since the Cold War.​ While in space he took more than 300,000 photos – more than on any other space mission. The images are an integral component of the National Geographic IMAX film ​A Beautiful Planet​, which Virts also shot and stars in. His first book for National Geographic, ​View From Above​, combines his best photography with stories about spaceflight alongside his perspectives about life on earth and our place in the cosmos.​ Terry shares the importance of feedback, cultural understanding, and fair treatment when leading diverse teams. He discusses topics such as debriefing, stress management, and skills-based training. Gain insights into balancing productivity and well-being, prioritizing tasks, and overcoming fears. Don't miss the valuable advice for handling emergencies.   https://bit.ly/TLP-361   Key Takeaways [01:53] Terry talks about his experiences as an entrepreneur and the challenges of selling ideas in comparison to being a leader in the military. During his time commanding the International Space Station with an international crew, he learned that feedback is important and helps to resolve conflicts between team members from different cultural backgrounds.  [05:36] He also emphasizes the importance of understanding where people are on the experience spectrum and treating everyone fairly regardless of their position or length of service. [11:23] Terry shares his experience working with people from different cultures and the importance of a culture that values accountability while not punishing mistakes.  [16:58] He also emphasizes the value of debriefing and learning from mistakes to improve safety in industries like aviation.  [23:19] Terry discusses how stress can impact performance during missions, highlighting the need for moderate stress levels to optimize productivity. Additionally, he talks about pre-mission training and team-building exercises such as National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS).  [25:25] Terry touches on the importance of skills-based training, including medical skills necessary when someone falls ill during a mission. He talks about medical procedures in space and how to handle potential emergencies like appendicitis.  [31:22] Terry also discusses leadership styles and ways to balance getting things done while also taking care of their team's well-being.  [40:01] The discussion revolves around the concept of being a "lazy" commander. Terry refers to a quote by Steve Jobs, highlighting the idea of hiring smart people not to be told what to do, but to receive their guidance. The importance of prioritizing tasks, working smarter instead of harder, and being a little bit lazy as a leader were key takeaways from the conversation. [45:43] Terry shares the three steps to handle emergencies: maintain control, analyze the situation, and take appropriate action. He also gives advice for business leaders facing adversity and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing tasks in order to avoid making things worse. [47:33] Closing quote: Remember, the universe is under no obligation to make sense to you. — Neil deGrasse Tyson   Quotable Quotes "If you're a leader, try and see things from other people's point of view, a skill we must have."   "You kind of have to know where people are on the experience spectrum... People mature at different rates."    "You need to be open to feedback also and not make it too awkward or strange."   "If you've got a CYA culture in your organization, you have to look at how you're holding people accountable."   "If people make mistakes... you can use people's mistakes in a positive way, that can be really good for your industry."   "You figure out what you need, and then you train that need so that people know what they're doing."   "If you can take your team and travel overseas, that's when you get to know people, you can hang out and do things outside of work, that's important."   "There's a terminal velocity by which a team can come together."   "You need to have some kind of moderate amount of stress to perform optimally."   "Part of what we have to do as leaders is to get stuff done, and the best way to do that is through the commitment of people who are willing and engaged."   "The best commanders are a little bit lazy."   "I hire smart people so they tell me what to do."   "When working in a big bureaucracy, choose one specific goal you want to accomplish and focus on achieving it."   "Sometimes you just need to chill out and let things happen."   "Be like water, find the path of least resistance."   "Work smarter, not harder."   "Don't crash into the ground. Do your analysis then take your action."   "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you." - Neil deGrasse Tyson These are the books mentioned in our discussion with Terry     Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by | www.darley.com Rafti Advisors.

“Antes de convertirme en astronauta, había visto historias de astronautas que habían visto destellos blancos de radiación mientras volaban en el espacio”, dice Terry Virts, exastronauta de la NASA. En la quinta noche de su primer vuelo, una misión de 2010 con el transbordador espacial Endeavour, acababa de acostarse. “Yo… cerré los ojos y ¡bum! Este gigantesco destello blanco y cegador sucedió en mis ojos, y no escuché nada”. Uno de los más extraños de todos es el presenciado por Virts. Esta es la Anomalía del Atlántico Sur (SAA), que combina un destello masivo de luz sin ningún sonido. Pero la SAA no es solo una vista extraña. Causa estragos en las computadoras cercanas y expone a los humanos cercanos a niveles de radiación más altos, algo que le ha valido el apodo de "el Triángulo de las Bermudas del espacio". Para comprender el SAA, primero debe comprender los cinturones de radiación de Van Allen. Estas son dos áreas en forma de rosquilla de partículas cargadas que rodean la Tierra y se mantienen en su lugar por su campo magnético. “El Sol emite una gran cantidad de radiación”, dice Virts, “y gran parte son partículas como electrones que salen disparados de la superficie del Sol… Todo este material sale disparado al espacio y el campo magnético del Sol puede doblarlo. Cuando llega a la Tierra, queda atrapado en nuestro campo magnético y forma estos cinturones de radiación en el espacio”. La buena noticia es que los cinturones de Van Allen protegen a la Tierra de estas partículas electrónicas altamente cargadas que arroja el Sol. La mala noticia es que hay una trampa. La Tierra no es completamente redonda; sobresale ligeramente en el medio. Los polos magnéticos de la Tierra tampoco están completamente alineados con sus polos geográficos, por lo que está inclinado, lo que da como resultado que los cinturones de Van Allen también estén inclinados. El SAA es donde el cinturón de radiación interior de Van Allen está en su altitud más baja y, por lo tanto, en su punto más cercano a la Tierra. Debido a la inclinación, el campo magnético es más fuerte en el norte, dejando un área sobre el Atlántico Sur y Brasil justo en el camino del cinturón de Van Allen. No es peligroso para la Tierra. Pero causa estragos en los satélites y otras naves espaciales como la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS) que pasan por el área, así como en las personas a bordo, algo que Virts sabe muy bien tanto de su vuelo de 2010 como de su tiempo a bordo de la ISS. en 2014.
