Maddie was born and raised in Brevard County, Florida, about 30 minutes from Kennedy Space Center. From a young age Maddie remembers visiting the space center with her grandfather, who was a Radio Frequency Engineer for General Electric in the 1960s on the Saturn V program.  Though exposed to it from a young age, Maddie was not initially interested in aerospace. She attended Edgewood Jr/Sr High School in Merritt Island, Florida, where she developed a strong passion for the arts and was avid participant in theatre, choir, and drawing/painting. Though her passions were centralized around the arts, Maddie always had an affinity for math and science. After high school, she enrolled as a Civil Engineering student at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida as a means to merge her artistic creativity with her passion for STEM. Maddie's introduction into the aerospace industry came with her first internship in Civil Engineering, where she was hired as a Civil Engineering Intern at RS&H, a national architecture and engineering firm with a vast range of engineering contracts supporting many different industries. Maddie worked at RS&H's aerospace and defense office in Merritt Island, where she worked on a wide variety of projects across Kennedy Space Center, including designs supporting NASA's SLS Rocket. It was through this internship that Maddie discovered a deep passion for all things space. In her junior year of college, Maddie was hired as a Civil Engineering Intern once again, but this time working for United Launch Alliance's Engineering & Infrastructure team at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base. In this role, she worked on projects supporting the maintenance of facility infrastructure for Atlas and Delta rockets, while also supporting the development of new site infrastructure to support the new Vulcan rocket. Maddie adored working in the launch environment and was able to expand her launch site knowledge with a second United Launch Alliance internship at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California the following year. Similar to her previous internship, she supported the Engineering & Infrastructure team in development of new site infrastructure for the Vulcan Program. Maddie graduated from the University of South Florida in December of 2021 with her bachelor's in civil engineering, and in January of 2022 began work as a Structural Engineer for ULA's Engineering & Infrastructure team in Cape Canaveral. She spent two and a half years gaining valuable, hands-on experience in analysis and design engineering continuing to develop and maintain launch pads and integration facilities on both coasts in support of the Atlas, Delta, and Vulcan programs. In March of this year, Maddie decided to take her United Launch Alliance career in a new direction when she accepted a new role as a Strength Analyst Engineer here in Denver working exclusively on analysis for the future upgrades to the Vulcan rocket.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-m-seely/support

Get access to Founders Notes here. ----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----Episode Outline: —Numerous other entrepreneurs had tried playing at rocket science before, Musk well knew. He wanted to learn from their mistakes so as not to repeat them.—Elon announces that he wants to start his own rocket company and I do remember a lot of chuckling, some laughter, people saying things like, ‘Save your money kid, and go sit on the beach.'” The kid was not amused. If anything, the doubts expressed at this meeting, and by some of his confidants, energized him more.—Musk was a siren, calling brilliant young minds to SpaceX with an irresistible song. He offered an intoxicating brew of vision, charisma, audacious goals, resources.—When they needed something, he wrote the check. In meetings, he helped solve their most challenging technical problems. When the hour was late, he could often be found right there, beside them, working away.—The iterative approach begins with a goal and almost immediately leaps into concept designs, bench tests, and prototypes. The mantra with this approach is build and test early, find failures, and adapt. This is what SpaceX engineers and technicians did.—"Here was a man who was not interested in experts. He meets me, he thinks to himself, 'Here is a bright kid, let's employ him.' And he does. He risks little with the possibility of gaining much. It is *exactly* what I now do at DysonThis attitude to employment extended to [Jeremy] Fry's thinking in everything, including engineering. He did not, when an idea came to him, sit down and process it through pages of calculations; *he didn't argue it through with anyone; he just went out and built it.* When I came to him to say, 'I've had an idea,' he would offer no more advice than to say, 'You know where the workshop is, go and do it.'  'But we'll need to weld this thing,' I would protest.Well then, get a welder and weld it.' When I asked if we shouldn't talk to sure someone about, say, hydrodynamics, he would say, 'The lake is down there, the Land Rover is over there, take a plank of wood down to the lake, tow it behind a boat and look at what happens.' Now, this was not a modus operandi that I had encountered before. College had taught me to revere experts and expertise. Fry ridiculed all that; as far as he was concerned, *with enthusiasm and intelligence anything was possible.* It was mind-blowing. No research, no preliminary sketches. If it didn't work one way he would just try it another way, until it did. And as we proceeded I could see that we were getting on extremely quickly.  *The root principle was to do things your way.* It didn't matter how other people did it. It didn't matter if it could be done better.  As long as it works, and it is exciting, people will follow you."      — Against the Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson by James Dyson (Founders #300)—Elon personally interviewed the first 3,000 employees of SpaceX.—His people had to be brilliant. They had to be hardworking. And there could be no nonsense.—SpaceX operated at its own speed.—Pony Express ad: “Wanted: Young, skinny, wiry fellows not over eighteen. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred.”—I've never met a man so laser focused on his vision for what he wanted. He's very intense, and he's intimidating as hell.—SpaceX had juice with the best students in space engineering. The freedom to innovate and resources to go fast summoned the best engineers in the land.—Talent wins over experience and an entrepreneurial culture over heritage.—He always made the most difficult decisions. He did not put off problems, but rather tackled the hardest ones first. And he had a vision for how aerospace could be done faster and for less money.—He didn't want to fail, but he wasn't afraid of it.—The speed SpaceX worked at relative to its peers could be jarring.—No job is beneath us.—No committees. No reports. Just done.—Most of all he channeled an intense force to move things forward. Elon wants to get shit done.—SpaceX likes to operate on its own terms and its own timeline.—90% of the book is SpaceX failing.—Elon spent much of the flight poring over books written about early rocket scientists and their efforts. He seemed intent to understand the mistakes they had made and learn from them.—SpaceX is in this for the long haul and, come hell or high water, we are going to make this work.—Who knows your customers? Find the person that knows your customers and then hire that person to sell your product to them.—No work about work, just work. Shotwell wrote a plan of action for sales. Musk took one look at it and told her that he did not care about plans. Just get on with the job. “I was like, oh, OK, this is refreshing. I don't have to write up a damn plan,” Shotwell recalled. Here was her first real taste of Musk's management style. Don't talk about doing things, just do things.—Within its first three years, SpaceX had sued three of its biggest rivals in the launch industry, gone against the Air Force with the proposed United Launch Alliance merger, and protested a NASA contract. Elon Musk was not walking on eggshells on the way to orbit. He was breaking a lot of eggs.—A Pegasus launch cost between $ 26 and $ 28 million. SpaceX's price was $6 million. Musk wanted it front and center on the company's website. This sort of transparency was radical at the time.----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

NASA has tried to get Extra Vehicular Activity Number Ninety underway since June 13th. The first attempt was thwarted by a space suit comfort issue, the second by a water leak that created a blizzard of ice inside the  Quest airlock. Are the Shuttle-Era Extra Vehicular Mobility Units (EMU) or space suits finally showing their age? Also, what about Collins Aerospace and their recent withdrawal from their NASA contract to build the next generation of space suits for the ISS and the Artemis Lunar Program when they indicated back in February that all was going well? We discuss. On June 17th, the FAA held a virtual public hearing to receive comments concerning SpaceX's plans to use Launch Complex 39-A and NASA's Kennedy Space Center to support Starship Super Heavy Launches. We discuss what occurred during the session and the fallout from statements put into the record by both Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance. Talking Space continues our Boeing Space CST-100 Starliner Crewed Flight Test coverage. The team continues to examine the “Starliner is Stuck at the ISS” misconceptions and asks what NASA & Boeing Space could have done to alleviate such headlines. We also look at a detailed explanation posted on Twitter from Jim May, a Boeing Engineer who was part of the NASA-TV coverage, of why “Calypso” remains on the ISS. The basis of his discussion comes from the actual NASA flight certification plan. Heather Smith mentions the observations of a NASA flight director and his assessment of how Starliner performed during its first actual safe-haven exercise.  All this and more in this edition of Talking Space!

Embark on a celestial journey with today's episode of Astronomy Daily - The Podcast, where your host, Anna, brings you the latest cosmic updates. We'll delve into Voyager One's latest achievements as it resumes its science operations after a technical glitch. We'll also discuss the recent spacewalk cancellation on the International Space Station due to a spacesuit discomfort issue. And don't miss out on the new findings from NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars, which has just reached a new area of scientific interest. Stay tuned for these stories and much more.NASA's Voyager One has fully resumed its science operations after resolving a technical issue that had been affecting its capabilities since November 2023. This remarkable spacecraft, now over 15 billion miles from Earth, is once again collecting crucial data from its four science instruments, providing invaluable insights into the nature of interstellar space. After a series of careful diagnostics and repairs, the mission team successfully restored the instruments to their full operational modes. Engineers will continue to perform minor maintenance tasks, including resynchronizing the timekeeping software and maintaining the digital tape recorder that stores data for the plasma wave instrument. As Voyager One continues its journey, it remains one of NASA's most historic missions, shedding light on the mysteries of space far beyond our solar system.A spacesuit discomfort issue forced NASA to cancel a planned spacewalk on the International Space Station today. The spacewalk, set to be a routine six-hour mission involving astronauts Tracy C. Dyson and Matt Dominick, was aimed at conducting necessary repairs and science experiments. However, as the astronauts were preparing for their trek outside the station, NASA astronaut Mike Barrett requested a private line to talk to flight controllers about an unspecified medical issue, leading to the mission's cancellation. Despite the setback, NASA assured the public that there was no emergency, and the mission will be rescheduled.After an arduous journey, NASA's Perseverance rover has reached a new area of scientific interest on Mars, dubbed Bright Angel. The rover navigated through a challenging dune field to avoid boulder-filled terrain, leading it to an ancient river channel full of potential geological treasures. Bright Angel, located at the base of Jezero Crater's northern channel wall, is now being studied for evidence of carbonate and olivine deposits, which could reveal secrets about the ancient river that once flowed into the crater. One particularly intriguing find is Atoko Point, a unique boulder whose composition and origin are currently under investigation.New research suggests that some planets orbiting white dwarfs may retain their water and potentially support life. White dwarfs, with their small size and dim light, provide an excellent backdrop for studying these planets. The study offers a roadmap for finding these elusive worlds and could guide future telescope missions as they search the cosmos for signs of life. The potential for discovering habitable exoplanets around white dwarfs opens up exciting possibilities for understanding planetary systems and life beyond our own solar system.Blue Origin, SpaceX, and United Launch Alliance have secured a monumental $5.6 billion in contracts from the Pentagon for the National Security Space Launch phase three program. This is a significant milestone, especially for Blue Origin, as it's their first time entering the national security launch arena. These contracts, which span over the next five years, will see the companies compete for various crucial launch missions, enhancing competition, driving down costs, and ensuring reliable access to space.In a stunning revelation, the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that a star long believed to be a single entity, known as WL 20s, is actually a pair of twin stars. Using its mid-infrared instrument, Webb has also detected jets of gas streaming from the north and south poles of these twin stars, adding a new layer of understanding to the processes of stellar formation and evolution. Further observations have shown that each star is encircled by disks of dust and gas, suggesting that planets may be forming within these disks.For an astronomical experience, visit our website at astronomydaily.io for the latest news, sign up for our free newsletter, and check out exclusive sponsor deals.Connect with us on YouTube, TikTok, X, and Facebook via @AstroDailyPod for engaging discussions with fellow space aficionados.

It's a power slide into Thursday as we're celebrating the highest inventory levels in 3 years. Plus we talk about VinFast's new pickup and how NASA is going back to the moon with private companies.Show Notes with links:The U.S. new-vehicle inventory witnessed a significant surge in December, hitting a three-year high, while EVs are seeing the long-predicted slowdown, as reported by Cox Automotive.New-vehicle inventory in the U.S. rose by over 200,000 in December, reaching more than 2.7 million units, a substantial increase from the previous year and the highest levels in 3 years.The recovery in inventory levels represents a 71-day supply, a marked improvement from 2021's component shortages.EV inventories increased more rapidly than internal combustion vehicles, ending the year at a 113 days' supply compared to 69 days for combustion models.A total of 317K EVs were sold in Q4, compared with 313K in Q3, only a 1.3% increase.EVs constituted 7.6% of the U.S. market in 2023, up from 5.9% in 2022, with price remaining a significant hurdle; the average new EV cost is approximately $50,789.Cox Automotive predicts that EV growth may continue to slow, with a potential for the first quarter-over-quarter sales decline in over three years.EV manufacturer VinFast revealed a pickup concept at CES slated for a potential 2026 U.S. launch, alongside the VF 3 microcar, reinforcing its commitment to expanding its EV lineup in the American market.The VF Wild concept is a midsize pickup with a flexible bed that can be extended into the rear of the cab through a power-folding midgate and may be produced at VinFast's upcoming plant in North Carolina, highlighting the company's growing focus on the U.S. market.VinFast Chairwoman Le Thi Thu Thuy said the Wild is still only a concept and the design may change based on input from US dealers and others.VinFast also confirmed that the VF 3 microcar, a sub-$20,000 mini eSUV, will enter the market. Production of the VF 3 is expected to begin later this year."We are providing a new companion for a generation of young drivers who value practicality alongside personality," said said Tran Mai Hoa, deputy CEO of sales and marketing for VinFast GlobalNASA is setting its sights on the moon with a series of Commercial Lunar Payload Services missions designed to build moon infrastructure through private companies.The first lander launched aboard a brand new rocket from United Launch Alliance, which is owned by Lockeed Martin and Boeing.

La Luna, ese cuerpo celeste que ha fascinado a la humanidad desde que tuvo conciencia, que ha inspirado poetas y a tantos otros que se la quedan viendo en las noches despejadas. Ese pedazo de cielo que afecta las mareas en la Tierra y al que quienes creen en la astrología le adjudican un peso importante en el oleaje de sus vidas. Ese satélite que supo ser el premio último de una carrera espacial -de “la” carrera espacial-, aquel en el que un mero paso de un mero hombre adquirió una trascendencia histórica, cultural y geopolítica inigualable. La Luna sigue fascinando y esta semana es vista como un objetivo. El lunes 8 de enero, la empresa privada United Launch Alliance, una iniciativa conjunta del área de defensa de la aeronáutica Boeing y de la compañía armamentística Lockheed Martin, lanzó su primer cohete denominado Vulcan Centaur. A bordo llevaba una cápsula desarrollada por otra empresa privada, en este caso una startup de nombre Astrobotic, un módulo lunar bautizado Peregrine que buscaba convertirse en el primer alunizaje estadounidense desde el final del programa Apolo hace más de 50 años. Astrobotic quería además ser la primera empresa en lograr posarse sobre el satélite. Peregrine fue desarrollada por Astrobotic con el apoyo financiero de la agencia espacial estadounidense NASA, que le encargó transportar hasta la Luna material específico, en un contrato por más de 100 millones de dólares. Aunque la primera etapa del lanzamiento fue exitosa, una “fuga” de combustible ya dejó a Peregrine sin “ninguna posibilidad de aterrizaje suave sobre la Luna", según declaró Astrobotic. Más allá del resultado, tanto el Vulcan Centaur como la cápsula Peregrine son muestras de la nueva estrategia espacial de Estados Unidos, que está recurriendo al sector privado en un esfuerzo por estimular una economía lunar más amplia y enviar su propia nave a bajo costo. ¿La meta? Volver a colocar humanos en la Luna como parte del programa Artemis. Y luego, pensar en Marte. Es además el último hito de una renovada carrera espacial, que vio a China lanzar una serie de misiones robóticas en la década passada, con su Proyecto Chang'e, el cual ya tiene planes de misiones tripuladas para 2030; y que vio también el año pasado la llegada exitosa de India a la Luna, con su programa Chandrayaan. ¿Qué motiva estos nuevos intentos de llegar a la Luna? ¿Por qué durante medio siglo se la dejó de lado, y ahora vuelve a ser tema de interés? ¿Qué rol juegan las empresas privadas en la nueva carrera espacial? Conversamos En Perspectiva con Javier Licandro, astrónomo uruguayo, investigador en el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias.

On today's podcast: 1) US air-safety officials retrieved the fuselage panel that blew off during an Alaska Airlines flight on Jan. 5, as authorities begin piecing together evidence to learn what led to the sudden decompression on the almost-new Boeing Co. 737 Max 9 aircraft. 2) US congressional leaders announced a deal on a top-line spending level for the current fiscal year, lessening the chances of a partial government shutdown on Jan. 20. 3) The Pentagon's failure to notify President Joe Biden that his defense secretary had been hospitalized for four days was the result of a series of errors, including confusion over Lloyd Austin's wishes and his chief of staff falling ill, people familiar with the matter said. 4) United Launch Alliance's long-awaited Vulcan rocket lifted off on Monday, heralding a new era for the longtime Pentagon contractor fighting to expand market share against Elon Musk's SpaceX. Full Transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with the latest developments involving Boeing after disaster was narrowly averted on an Alaska Airlines flight on Friday. Boring stock right now is down more than eight percent, and we get more from Bloomberg's John Tucker, John and Nathan. The airlines around the globe have been grounding Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine half to a fuselage section on a brand new Alaska Airlines jet blew out during a flight on Friday. This is a door panel that can be sealed or used for access, depending on the configuration. Only luck prevented a more disastrous outcome. The National Transportation Safety Board cheer Jennifer Homandi says Alaska Airlines pilots did report pressurization warning lights on three earlier flights of the two month old plane in question. The auto pressurization fail light that did illuminate in three previous flights, one on December seventh, one on January third, and one on January fourth. A schoolteacher in Portland found the missing fuselage door plug in his backyard. The door plug that blew out was next to seats twenty six A and twenty six P, and just by chance, there was nobody sitting there. The plane did carry one hundred and seventy one passengers, a valuable data usually collected by the so called black box that was a raised Boeing suppliers. Spirit Aerosystems Holdings was the company that installed the planel on the nearly new jet. John Tucker Bloomberg Radio, all right, John, thank you well be now when to turn to the latest developments in the Middle East. Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln is in the region for a fourth time since the Israeli Hamas war broke out. Lincoln is warning the war could quote easily become a wider conflict. He spoke during a news conference in Doha. This is a conflict that could easily a tastasize, causing even more insecurity, more suffering and Secretary of State blank And met with Jordan's Kingdomdullah on Sunday, a day after stops in Turkey and Greece. Well back here in the US here, and the risk of a government shutdown on January twentieth has eased somewhat with word of a deal on spending caps. Bloomberg's Amy Morris has details from Washington. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson negotiated the bipartisan deal, which caps spending at one point five to nine trillion dollars. Republicans have agreed to a set of budget moves to spare immediate cuts to domestic agency budgets. The deal does not include an agreement to block all conservative policy writers, so there still may be debates over defunding investigations into former President Trump, and while that might cause an impass later, for now, lawmakers have the framework they need to avoid a government shut down this month. The next deadline is February second. In Washington, Amy Morris, Bloomberg Radio, all right, Amy, thank you now. The latest on the health of Lloyd Austin. Bloomberg News has learned the Pentagon's failure to notify prison and in bid and that his Defense secretary had been hospitalized for four days, was the result of a series of errors. They include confusion over Austin's wishes and his chief of staff, Falling Hill from a Republican Congressoman list. Cheney is looking for answers I think they've got some very serious explaining to do. I think that there's a real difference between public transparency and you know, alerting the commander in chief to the fact that Secretary of Defense is in the hospital. Apparently the deputy Secretary was on vacation in Puerto Rico. I think it's inexplicable. We need to know more about exactly what happened there. But that's not the way the Pentagon ought to be conducting business. And that's former Congressome and liszt Cheney. On Saturday, Secretary Austin apologized for failing to inform the public for days, while saying he's on the mend and expects to return to the Pentagon soon. Let's turn to Wall Street now, Karen Bank earnings and the possible Bitcoin ETF will be front and center this week. More from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. Friday, we hear from JP Morgan, Chase, City Group, Bank of America, Anne Wells Fargo. Early earnings reports come amid questions about the path of inflation and FED interest rate POTLESE. Cameron Dawson is chief investment officer at New Edge Wealth. The thing that's the biggest challenge for US for earning sestaments in twenty four is the expectation that topline growth will re accelerate in a year where nominal growth because of inflation is expected to decelerate. Also this week, the Securities and Exchange Commission will decide whether to approve an exchange traded fund tied directly to the world's largest cryptocurrency in New York, Charlie Bloomberg Radio, All right, Charlie. Thanks. In company news, Bloomberg News has learned MRK is in advanced talks to acquire cancer drugmaker Harpoon Therapeutics. The price tag about seven hundred million dollars. San Francisco based Harpoon is developing drugs that harness the body's immune system to fight cancer. Shares of Harpoon are up about one hundred percent well. Also, while following Apple Care, which has fallen almost six percent to kick off the new year, Jeffries says Apple's iPhone sales slump in China is deepening and the companies likely to see volumes decline further this year. Apple saw a double digit falled volumes in December. Jeffries forecast a similar decline for twenty twenty four. Checking shares of Apple right now they are a little changed to the downside. And on the economic front, Nathan, inflation will be the focus for our investors. Bloomberg's Any del Judaice has more the Labor Department issues the Consumer Price Index Thursday and the Producer Price Index Friday, both covered December. Rising gasoline prices could have an impact on the household data, says Bloomberg Economics. Looking further out, Bloomberg economics 's US inflation continuing to run above the federal reserves two percent target this year, even with all the raid hikes. Vinny del Judice, Bloomberg Radio, Nathan, thank you. It's time for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world, and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris, Sammy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. Ukraine suffered a second large scale Russian missile barrage this year as temperatures dropped below freezing in the latest escalation of aerial attacks. Now, this barrage killed one woman and left at least thirty more people wounded. After months of relatively few air strikes, Russia is ramping up bombardment just before the new year, firing hundreds of missiles at cities across Ukraine, including the capital. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been targeting bases and occupied Crimea, with the Air Force saying over the weekend that it destroyed our Russian command post there. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is set to visit Charleston, South Carolina, today, including a stop at Mother Emmanuel Ame Church, where back in twenty fifteen, nine church goers were shot and killed by a self proclaimed white supremacist. Charlotte City Councilman Malcolm Graham is the brother of one of those victims. Cynthia Graham heard and tells ABC News that when the President visits local black history points of interest, he's sending us strong message of visiting sites like the new Historic African American Museum, he makes a point that history matters, that black history matters. It just not just occurs in the month of February, that black history is also American history. Biden, meanwhile working to shore up support among black voters and Nicki Haley's home state as the Republican governor of former governor of South Carolina, is rising in the polls. Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzalez reflected on the third anniversary of the January sixth attack on the Capitol and stands by his labeling of the mob as domestic terrorists, refusing to accept former President trump statements made on the writers describing them as heroes and hostages. They're certainly not heroes. You know. They broke the law, and we have to obey our laws. We are a nation of laws, and they have to obey the laws. Representative Gonzales tells ABC's This Week he does not support Donald Trump's proposed plan to pardon those convicted for their actions that day. Hospitals across the country are telling people mask up flu and COVID nineteen cases are once again on the rise. The viruses have actually been on the incline for the past few weeks. Health officials are predicting infections will increase even more throughout this month. Global news twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News. Now. I'm Amy Morris and this is Bloomberg Karen Hurry, Amy, thank you. We do bring you news throughout the day here on Bloomberg Radio. But now you can get the latest news on demand, and that means whenever you want it. Subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines at the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot Com plus Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update, here's John stash Hour John Karen. The NFL regular season is over. The playoffs begin on Saturday with a late afternoon game between the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans. A team that won only eleven games over the previous three seasons won ten this year, and the Texans won the AFC South when Jacksonville lost its game yesterday at Tennessee twenty eight to twenty. Saturday night, it'll be Miami at Kansas City. The Dolphins blew a lead in the AFC East and last night's lost to Buffalo twenty one to fourteen cost the Dolphins the AFC East, so they're a wildcard and they'll take on the Chiefs Sunday at one Eastern Pittsburgh in Buffalo. Then it's Green Bay at Dallas. The Packers gaining a wildcard spot with a seventeen to nine win over Chicago. The Cowboys won the NFC East. They blew out Washington yesterday thirty eight to ten. Sunday night, it'll be the Rams in Detroit, so Matthew Stafford will face his former team in the wildcard weekend will conclude next Monday night. Slumping Philadelphia at Tampa Bay, Eagles have been a train wreck down the stretch of the season, losing five to the last six. They were beaten by the Giants yesterday twenty seven to ten. The Bucks won the NFC South with a nine to nothing win over Carolina Atlanta Falcons of fired coach Arthur Smith. Will the Patriots part ways with Bill Belichick after twenty five years as coach there? We should find out soon. Michigan and Washington played tonight in the Houston for the National Championship, both teams fourteen and er. Although the Huskies haven't won a game by more than ten points since September, the Wolverines are the famous from coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam. The Bloomberg Business app in Bloomberg dot Com. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Airlines around the world are starting to ground their Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine jets after part of the fuselage blew out on a brand new model operated by Alaska Airlines last Friday. It is another blow to Boeing's turnaround efforts after two deadly seven thirty seven Max crashes nearly five years ago. From More, we were joined by Bloomberg News. Aviations are Anthony Palazzo. Anthony, what more do we know about why this mishap happened and where the investigation stands? Hi Nathan, thanks for having me. Yeah, So, we had two developments late late yesterday. One is that the investigators have found the door panel that fell out of the plane. This is a key piece of evidence and they're going to be looking very closely at the condition of that panel to understand why it popped out of the fuselage section. The panel was found in the backyard of a Portland area school teacher. So what could that panel tell us about how this happened? Well, well, what they've what they've said so far is that they've looked at they've looked at the tabs that hold that panel in from the interier of the plane, which was largely undamaged, and that they didn't find a whole lot of They didn't find, you know, a problem there. So they're gonna so they're going to need to keep going to understand exactly how this came off. Those those panels are screwed in with four bolts. They're not in use, although they can be opened from the outside of the plane. Those are essentially openings that are built for an emergency door. But a lot of the a lot of the airlines that use this aircraft, it's a stretched Boeing seven point thirty seven Max Jet, a lot of the airlines don't use those exit doors because they're not needed for the seat configurations that they need. So this is putting more scrutiny on the manufacturing process at Boeing, particularly around the seven thirty seven Max. Is there something particular about the Max nine that could have caused a problem like this as opposed to the seven thirty seven Maxes that were involved in those crashes that we all remember just a few years ago. Yes, well, the well, the the Max nine is a stretched version of the of the core Boeing Max plane, which is called the Max eight. So it's a it's a bit longer, and it can seat more people. But because it can seat more people in its in its most densely packed configurations, it requires more additional safety exits. So a lot of a lot of the low cost carriers that would use that plane would would want to put in more seats and therefore more more emergency exits most carriers. So now the Max eight does not have that that kind of a kind of configuration, doesn't have those exits and doesn't need them. The way that Boeing has done it is that they put in the essentially modular cutouts into the frame so they can make all the fuselages the same, and then when they finish the aircraft they can decide, you know, with the customer whether or not to install those doors or to install plugs in those holes. So now that's the difference. Yeah, right, And now we have a couple of hundred of these seven thirty seven Max nines getting taken out of service, these low cost carriers including Alaska and United grounding these jets. How big a blow potentially could this be for Boeing When it's been trying to put a turnaround plan into place. Well, it's a real setback, you know. The extent to how deep or how long term it ends up being that's all yet to be determined. But certainly investors are selling down the stock. This morning we sell that shares go down about eight point three percent in pre market trading. Their supplier is Spirit Aero Systems, that is a former Boeing unit that makes the fuselage and they they're down about sixteen percent. I think there's been there's been a lot of there's been a lot of speculation about the relationship between Boeing and Spirit and how wise it was to separate the two companies. You know, Spirit's been responsible for a couple of the real supplier glitches that have held that production at Boeing, and they've been weakened financially. Boeing had to reduce some contracts with Spirit, they had to infuse some money into it. So this may be something that that Boeing recon suitors in the longer term. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed. At six am Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa Play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, seriusxmb iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg DaybreakSee

Today we meet with Catie Spivey, a Mechanical Engineer and graduate of Portland State University. Catie was the lead on PSU's first CubeSat which launched in 2022. During her senior capstone project, she worked on a prototype liquid fueled rocket airframe and found she really enjoyed that subject area. She then finished a Masters of Engineering at Portland State in a single year and was selected as a prestigious Brooke Owens Fellow at United Launch Alliance. She currently works at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. And of course there is a Kevin Simmons inspiration that I am sure he will share with us. Stay tuned after for the takeaways. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shawna-christenson2/support
