This week, we're taking a broad look at the progress of America's Artemis lunar landing program, space science in general, and the challenges to Western space plans posed by a fast-rising Chinese space program. Joining us is the uniquely qualified Dr. Greg Autry--the Associate Provost for Space Commercialization and Strategy at the University of Central Florida, visiting Professor at Imperial College London, former NASA transition team member, and author of "Red Moon Rising." We'll also highlight the recent launch of SpaceX's Starship and the amazing catch of the booster by the Mechazilla Launch tower, Michael Bloomberg's recent article condemning the slow progress of the Artemis program, and this weekend's Orionids meteor shower! Headlines: - SpaceX's successful Starship flight test 5, featuring the Super Heavy booster's impressive catch by the "Mechazilla" tower - Michael Bloomberg's critical op-ed on the SLS rocket and the Artemis program, highlighting delays and overspending - The upcoming Orionids meteor shower, peaking on October 21st, 2024, and the Hunter's Moon, the biggest supermoon of the year Main Topic - The State of the US Space Program with Greg Autry: - Greg's lifelong passion for space was ignited by watching Apollo missions as a child; he later got involved in the commercial space industry and served on the NASA transition team in 2016 - US human spaceflight is in both the best and worst of times - there is bipartisan support for Artemis and returning to the Moon, but the program is behind schedule and over budget on almost every element - Lack of top-level political leadership and sense of urgency compared to the Apollo era is hurting Artemis' progress; the US needs a leader willing to provide direction and funding, and hold people accountable - Competition with China could help spur the US, but the public may not be as motivated as during the Cold War; still, it's important for the US to get back to the Moon first to initiate fair use of resources - Artificial intelligence will play a critical role in future space operations, especially on Mars and the Moon; AI can enable more flexible and capable spacecraft - The US needs to rebuild its aerospace manufacturing and production workforce to execute ambitious space goals; STEM education and hands-on skills are lacking - In 10 years, Autry hopes to see a diverse on-orbit ecosystem with compatible, specialized vehicles; regular Moon missions laying the groundwork for resource extraction; and an influential space tourism industry - He believes that a dual-track lunar architecture with both Starship and a more conventional system for redundancy would be wise; Starship is great but very complex with many potential failure points, especially in a lunar mission that requires multiple refueling flights and a crewed SLS launch in close timing - Greg is the Associate Provost for Space Commercialization and Strategy at the University of Central Florida and is standing up new academic programs to train the next generation of commercial space workforce - His book "Red Moon Rising" examines the history of the space industry, China's space ambitions, and the current state of play - an engaging read for anyone interested in space Get "Red Moon Rising": https://amzn.to/3YxmJab Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Dr. Greg Autry Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

There was A LOT of space news happening the last 2 weeks while we were adventuring in Scotland! (more on that soon) Our first episode back is dedicated to the Boeing Starliner news and reports of the astronauts being “stranded” on the ISS. We break down why that click-bait headline isn't true but also how NASA is dealing a double standard with Boeing's test flight status.  We review the latest from what's been shared by NASA/Boeing leadership, the tests underway, and what to expect for a timeline for when Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore could return home on Starliner. We also discuss the possibility of another spacecraft bringing the Astronauts home, as well as the “worst-case” scenario from all of this.  But in the meantime - we want to know what YOU think! Email us at todayinspacepodcast@gmail.com, or DM us on social media!

It's our 200th episode!!! And we are throwing it back to where it all began, but with better audio, and more thorough research. This week, Hannah re-tells Katy the story of the Lost Cosmonaut, and all the deep, dark, terrible things that happened within the Soviet (and US) Space Program. The girls talk about the ethics of putting dogs in space (spoiler: it's not ethical and should never be done), horrific ways to die (ie, burned alive), not so bad ways to die (ie, exposed to the vacuum of space), and the likelihood of two Italian brothers uncovering the darkest, and most deeply kept secret in Soviet Russia. The first time we covered this topic, we were little baby podcasters stumbling through our 7th episode with what turned out to be faulty audio; this time around, we're "seasoned" podcasters making our 200th episode, still trying to figure out the whole audio thing, and trying to keep the food noises to a minimum. Basically, we're professionals. Pour your drinks, get a celebratory snack (we chose chocolate/peanut butter cookies, and peanuts), and join us for this astronomical Conspiracy Theory!

Famous for its invaluable contributions to WW2 and the US Space Program, the USS Hornet is a highly decorated Naval vessel. Although she is decommissioned today, that does not mean she is at rest. The USS Hornet is reported to be one of the most haunted ships in the world; and after today's episode you'll be sure to see why. Are you loving The West London Witch and want more? Fear not!

Who's the best pilot you ever saw? It's Brennan! (Because it's his birthday and we have to feed him delusions of grandeur.) Meanwhile, Erin is the launch button-pusher who is getting increasingly anxious that each rocket they launch blows up. This week we review "The Right Stuff," a film about the test pilots that became the first generation of astronauts in the US Space Program. It's a race against communism, it's a race between the military branches, and it's a race to give the president the news before he already knows about it. So, who's the best pilot with the right stuff? It's Chuck Yeager, duh. 

The recorded conference presentation you are about to hear includes a made up game show, a scene from a novella about artists working in a fictional prison, and a visit to a fake town in the midst of a harsh reckoning around issues of race, justice, othering, and belonging. (A Reprise of Episode 27) Welcome to a Bonus edition of Change the Story Change the World —- as we pay a visit to the 16th Annual Art in Society Conference. Bill Cleveland: Hi I'm Bill Cleveland, the host of Change the Story / Change the World. This week we are going to do something a bit different. A few episodes back we shared a conversation with writer Jan Cohen Cruz to commemorate the New Village Press publication of Meeting the Moment by her and artist activist Rad Periera. This week's bonus episode is indirectly related to another soon to be published New Village volume called the Book of Judith, "an homage to the life of poet, writer, and teaching artist Judith Tannenbaum and her impact on incarcerated and marginalized students." Judith, who passed away in 2019, taught me a lot about both art making, and the imagination. In my own teaching her lessons have been a constant presence, often manifesting through the stories she shared in her work. This was the case In June of 2021 when I participated in an international conference convened by the Art in Society Research Network. My part in this online conference was a presentation about using story-based strategies for community arts training. My approach was to share few stories, including one of Judith's about how using stories can help prepare artists for work in real life communities and social institutions. So, the recorded conference presentation you are about to hear includes a game show, a scene from Judith's novella about artists working in prison, and a visit to a fake town in the midst of a harsh reckoning around issues of race, justice, othering, and belonging. Welcome to a special edition of change the story Change the World —- as we pay a visit to the 16th Annual Art in Society Conference. Hi: I'm Bill Cleveland. I am speaking to you from, Alameda CA, near Oakland which is the traditional land of the Ohlone people and home our county's new VP Kamala Harris. I run the Center for the Study of Art & Community. Our name is a mouthful to be sure but we have a pretty simple mission.

Enough about us. I'd like to begin this presentation by inviting you to participate in one of our fabulous Quiz shows. The show is actually a little game called TRUTH OR NO. The object of the game is to spark your imaginations and have a bit of fun. To do this you will need write a few things down, Yeah, I know you thought this conference would be just sitting and watching, but please, indulge me here. I'll give you 30 seconds to grab a pencil and paper. OK now lets start. The game goes like this: In a little bit I am going to share 4 really short-stories that may or may not be true. Your job is to identify the ones that are false. Before I start t you will need to write 1 through 4 on a piece of paper. Now after each little story I tell write T for those you think are true and N for No for the fabrications. This will happen very fast. So here we go.

Today's woman grew up participating in more activities than most young people.  She was curious and loved to be a part of things. In her family unit, conversations usually centered around how to leave the world a better place - a burning desire that developed in her as she grew into an adult. The area she began to influence was aerospace and her determination and talent landed her a senior executive spot in the US Space Program. As a Deputy Administrator of NASA, she knew she could bring so much good to the world as she set out to reform the agency. But aerospace was not a place where women were welcomed and being in such a powerful role of influence was not easy. She was sexually harassed and verbally abused but she pushed on. Now others can learn from the wisdom of her journey from her recently released book “Escaping Gravity, My Quest To Transform NASA and Launch A New Space Age.” The story reveals how she defied the status quo as a woman working in a male-dominated field. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Lori Garver.

Gene Kranz, who was portrayed by Ed Harris in the Oscar-winning movie Apollo 13, — also! earned a SAG and Critics' Choice Movie Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role— sits down with Dave on Dave Ward & Friends. They talk about how the US Space Program launched both their careers, from the start of the Mercury rockets, to the famed Apollo 13 and beyond for Gene. Dave talks about covering all the launches, starting in radio from the very beginning of the rocket programs to the discontinuation of the Space Shuttle in 2011. (Dave Ward is the only journalist in the world to have covered all NASA space launches)

As the war in Ukraine continues, Russia has now cut ties with the U.S. and European partners and that includes the International Space Station.

I'm Director of Global Oncology and Health Equities at Indiana University. Dave Johnson: My name's Dave Johnson. I'm at UT Southwestern in Dallas. Patrick, we're excited to be back for another segment of ASCO's Educational Podcast, Oncology, Etc. We have two very special guests today, Drs. Ellen Baker and Robert Satcher, oncologist and former astronauts. So I predict this will be an out of this world segment. Patrick Loehrer: It's starting out pretty slow right now, with that one. Thank you though.  Dave Johnson:  Well, listen, this should be a great segment. But before we get started, do you have a favorite astronaut book?  Patrick Loehrer:  Well, the one I read this summer was called American Moonshot by Douglas Brinkley, and it basically took the story of John F. Kennedy and how the space race happened from 1960 and actually earlier than that, into getting onto the moon. It was really, I thought very extraordinary.  Dave Johnson:  So, I haven't read that yet. My favorite would be Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam. I thought that was a fantastic book about his life growing up in West Virginia and ultimately, becoming a NASA engineer and rocket scientist. So that was really great. Patrick Loehrer:  I read that several years ago after you recommended it. They made a movie out of that.  Dave Johnson:  Yeah, I think October Sky was the name of the movie. Yeah. >Patrick Loehrer: Yeah, it's a terrific book. Dave Johnson: Well, why don't we introduce our guests? You want to start with Dr. Baker?  Patrick Loehrer: Oh, sure. It's my pleasure to introduce Dr. Ellen Baker. I have known Ellen over the years through interactions in global oncology. She was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, graduated from Bayside High School in New York, got a bachelor of arts degree in geology from the State University at Buffalo. A doctorate in medicine for Cornell, masters in public health at UT Public Health, and then trained in internal medicine at UT San Antonio. And during her residency, she decided to join in the NASA program as a medical officer. And it was actually, she did a residency around the same time I did, and I remember the space call for astronauts at that time. She was selected as an astronaut in may of 1984, had a variety of jobs. She's logged more than 680 hours in space and has been a mission specialist. She retired from NASA in 2011 and is Director of the MD Anderson project, Echo Program in which he does projects in rural Texas, as well as Zambia, Mozambique, in Central and South America. It's such a great pleasure to have you here today, Ellen.  Dr. Ellen Baker:  Thank you, Patrick.  Dave Johnson:  Our other guest is Dr. Robert Satcher, currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Oncology Division of Surgery at MD Anderson, as well. Dr. Satcher grew up in Hampton, Virginia. He's the son of a university professor and English teacher, so I'm sure they made him do all of his homework. He received a bachelor degree, as well as a PhD in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his MD degree from Harvard. By the way Patrick, Dr. Satcher enrolled at MIT at age 16 and graduated at the top of his class. Later, we'll find out what you were doing at age 16? Patrick Loehrer: I do have to interject that I was a mechanical engineer at Purdue, and it's like being in high school compared to chemical engineers. Dave Johnson: Yeah, there's a hierarchy in the engineering world for sure. Dr. Satcher's medical degree was followed by internship and residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. In addition, he did a post doc research fellowship again at MIT and University of California, Berkeley. And completed a fellowship in muscular skeletal oncology at the University of Florida, before joining the faculty at Northwestern in Chicago. You guys have a lot of connections it seems? Not satisfied with that massive amount of education and training, Dr. Satcher went on to NASA to train as an astronaut, culminating in a flight aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in November of 2009. Apparently, he got a little bored cooped up in the shuttle because he took a couple of space walks, which I'd like to know more about. In fact, I read on NASA's website that he did some lubricating on one of his walks. I'm not sure what that's about, but I assume there's not a lot of gas stations in space. I also read that he repaired one of the robotic arms, which seems perfect appropriate for an orthopedic surgeon. You'll have to tell us more. Anyway, while these achievements would be enough for most people, it only begins to scratch the surface of the many accomplishments of Dr. Satcher's career to date.  I really can't cover it all, but our audience should know that Dr. Satcher's has been involved in a number of community activities, as well, ranging from his involvement in Big Brother for Youths at Risk, counseling program, to serving as a lay minister in his church. He's also undertaken a number of medical mission trips to underserved areas in countries, such as Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nigeria, and Gabon, where he once served as a Schweitzer fellow at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné. Dr. Satcher, welcome to Oncology, Etc., we very much appreciate your joining us. Dr. Robert Satcher: Thanks Dave. Glad to be here. Dave Johnson: Perhaps I'll start by asking the two of you, if you could give us just a little bit about your background, other than what we've stated and what got you interested in medicine and how you got interested in space? Dr. Baker, maybe we'll start with you? Dr. Ellen Baker: I've always been interested in space. I was a child of the '60s, and I think one of the very memorable parts of the '60s was the US Space Program. It was a fairly tumultuous decade in the US, I think otherwise, and the space program was really literally a shining star. However, there were no girls in the space program at that time. Right? There were no girl astronauts and so I thought about it, but it didn't seem like it was even possible. I come from a family of medical people. My mother was a nurse, my father was a doctor, my brother is a doctor, and so that had a lot of influence, I think, in my choosing to go into medicine. And in fact, my brother is an oncologist and though I am actually not an oncologist, I've been hanging around with him long enough that some people think I'm an oncologist. So I think that's what got me pointed in that direction. Dave Johnson: Your brother is Larry Schulman, by the way, right? Humanitarian of the Year Award from ASCO, a couple years ago. Dr. Ellen Baker: It is, yes, and he is a great humanitarian. I was actually at my last year of medical school when I saw a little article in the New York Times that NASA was selecting new astronauts and women and minorities were urged to apply. And I kind of filed that away and went off to do my medicine residency and at the end of my residency, I applied to work for NASA as a physician. And that's how I got to Houston and to Johnson Space Center. Dave Johnson: Dr. Satcher, what about yourself? Dr. Robert Satcher: I got interested in space and being an astronaut when I was a kid too, and I was watching astronauts land on the moon. And I was sitting there listening what Ellen was saying and yeah, it was a time where all the astronauts were of course, white males and I didn't see myself there walking on the moon, but I knew it was something that I would really like to do, but didn't really see a way either, at the time. So it really was with the shuttle era that women, people from underrepresented groups finally had the opportunity to become astronauts. And right around the same time too, was when I was starting as an undergraduate at MIT and had the good fortune of meeting Ron McNair, who got his PhD from MIT. And that was the first time I ever saw someone who looked like me, who was an astronaut and that planted the seed that maybe I could do that one day. I also come from, as you mentioned, a family that values education and we've got a number of physicians in our family. Most famously my uncle, Dr. David Satcher, who was Surgeon General of the Clinton Administration. And I always remember, this is a funny story I like to tell if he's listening. When I was going around getting advice on whether or not I should stick with medicine or think about applying to become an astronaut, he advised me just to stick with medicine. So didn't take his advice, this is the one time I didn't, but I did take his advice, in terms of going to medical school. And I wound up applying to become an astronaut, right actually, before the Columbia accident and so they actually paused taking astronauts for a number of years. And in those years, actually that's when I went to Northwestern and was on faculty there. So they opened it up again and that's when I submitted my application and I was in Chicago and was selected from there. Dave Johnson: There's a number of questions that spill off from that. You guys may know David Wolf, who's an astronaut, who's from Indiana University. I had him in my clinic when he was a medical student and as I always do, I basically say, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" And he said, "I want to be an astronaut." And I just smiled and I don't think I ever went back in the room with him, I just figured, "This guy is a flake, what's going on with him?" And I think he's logged more space miles than just about anybody, he's an incredible human being. And again, if he's listening, you're terrific. David. Patrick Loehrer: I just have to ask this as a boyhood thing, because I did contemplate being an astronaut because I was an engineer and MD just like you were Ellen and so were you Bobby. But it hit me, one is, you have not to be afraid of heights, I think. And then, you have to be willing to go around in a circle a thousand times a minute and not throw up. But in the training there, did any of that stuff bother you or was this no big deal? Dr. Ellen Baker: That sounds a little like Hollywood and not so much like the real thing, actually. In the early days of the space program, they did put astronauts in rotating chairs. I'm not exactly sure why? But we don't do that anymore. I would say that the training is rigorous, but it's not unreasonable. I don't know what you think, Bobby? It's fairly predictable. And I will put a little shout out for Purdue, which maybe has one of the highest number of astronauts of any university outside the military academies. I don't know if that's true now, but 10 or 15 years ago, we just had a large number of engineers from Purdue who were in the astronaut office. Dr. Robert Satcher: I agree, the training is not quite how it's portrayed sometimes in the media. The question I get asked from my doctor friends a lot, "I guess you can't be claustrophobic going into space because you're in the space capsule." And that really does deter a significant number of people, probably more than myself or Ellen appreciate because I'm always surprised when I get that question. Dave Johnson: But I'm 100% sure I couldn't be an astronaut if claustrophobia is an issue because I can't stand to be in an elevator. Dr. Ellen Baker: Let me step back a little, I don't want anybody to get discouraged. But you'd be surprised at how many pilots have a fear of heights if they're not encased in an airplane. So fear of heights is not necessarily something that you might worry about if you're an astronaut. And I disagree with you Bobby, I don't think space vehicles are claustrophobic. It's not like being in a submarine, which I would find very claustrophobic. Particularly in the shuttle because we actually had great windows and great views and we didn't feel confined. I don't know what you think Bobby, but I didn't think it was like being in a cave or closet or a submarine. Dr. Robert Satcher: Yeah, I definitely agree with that, the views are spectacular. Patrick Loehrer: So William Shatner just went up and had a brief stint in space and is now considered an astronaut, but he came back with such a sense of awe. Can you describe a little bit what it's like, the view from up there and how does it leave you, particularly your first time up in space? Dr. Robert Satcher: The words don't completely capture it. The colors are so vivid, the view is so breathtaking. It's really impressive seeing the Earth, not only at daytime, but at nighttime and it goes beyond. It's one of a few things I always tell people, that really exceeded my expectation, in terms of what my preconceived notion of what it would be. And ever since going, that's what's so addictive about going into space, it makes you want to go back just to see that again and experience it again. The closest that I've come to seeing anything like that is, they have these new virtual reality experiences, where they actually got footage that they shot in high-def on the space station, outside the space station. It comes close, in terms of the look but it still doesn't fully capture it because the colors and everything, aren't as clear and crisp as it is when you're there. Because you're in the vacuum of space and there's nothing interfering with it and it's just spectacular. Dr. Ellen Baker: Yeah. I'll jump in here too and I absolutely agree with Bobby. And the other thing is, you orbit the Earth every 90 minutes, so you cover a lot of ground and you see a lot of the planet and in that one orbit, you get a sunrise and a sunset. So you orbit the Earth 16 times a day and get 16 sunrises and sunsets, so every 45 minutes the sun is either coming up or going down. It's really hard to know what time of day it is, in terms of your work day in orbit, but it's just magnificent. And it did give me a sense that we're all from the same planet and of course, it makes me wonder why we can't all get along better? Patrick Loehrer: I think people our age remember a few things, we remember the day Kennedy was shot. We remember the landing on the moon with Neil Armstrong. We also sadly, also remember the Challenger disaster and where we all were at that point in time. Ellen, you were an astronaut at that time. Dr. Ellen Baker: I was. Patrick Loehrer:> Can you reflect a little bit about that, if you can? I'm not sure I could do it without getting emotional, if I was there. Dr. Ellen Baker: Yeah, I was actually at work of course, and watching the launch and it was just devastating. Obviously, I knew everybody on board, I knew their families very well. And I have to say, we knew flying in space was risky, but we were still pretty unprepared for Challenger and for Columbia. It is something that I still think about. As weird as it might sound, I actually rescued the plant from Dick Scobee's office. He was the Commander of Challenger and I still have it growing. So it's a reminder that he was a good friend and a good colleague, it was a terrible blow, as was the Columbia accident. In that same tradition, I have African violets by my sink that were in Laurel Clark's office and Laurel was a physician who was aboard the Columbia, as well as Dave Brown, who was also a physician on the Columbia. Dave Johnson: That's an amazing tribute to both of your colleagues. It's very touching to hear that. I wonder if the two of you could share with us, what you actually did on your missions scientifically? How did you use your medical knowledge, if at all? And Robert, what about your oncologic knowledge, was that useful at all? Dr. Robert Satcher: Fortunately, no use for the oncology training in space. I got to use the orthopedic training. One of the most common problems is back pain the first few days when you're in space. We attribute it to, you're going into weightlessness and all of a sudden, there's these fluid shifts, you get more fluid in your inner discs, everybody gets taller. Dave Johnson: Well, let's send Patrick to space. Patrick Loehrer: We need to get up there soon, Dave. Dr. Robert Satcher: Yeah. Actually, during our visit, we measured everybody's height just so that we know what that change was and we did do a experiment actually, that my background came very useful for. We were looking at the effects of bisphosphonate on bone loss. So bisphosphonates, well, everybody knows, this is ASCO, a class of drugs, anti-absorptives, used in patients with bone metastasis. It was actually being tested in rats, thinking about countermeasures for keeping people from losing bone in long duration, space trips. Unfortunately, bisphosphonates come with a lot of effects. But it did seem to work, in terms of the bone mass, which is induced by weightlessness in rats. And then finally, I was the crew medical officer for my group because I was the only MD up there in our crew. Ellen probably was the same in hers. So, what that involves is, NASA was one of the first places to pioneer use of telemedicine. So, you're basically, communicating with the flight surgeons on the ground every day, talking about what sort of medical issues there are with the crew and getting their recommendations for dealing with whatever it is. So yeah, being a doctor actually came very much handy. Dave Johnson: I was going to ask both of you. During your flights, did you encounter any medical emergencies without violating HIPAA? I mean, did you have to do an appendectomy? Dr. Ellen Baker: No appendectomies and fortunately, no emergencies, astronauts are pretty well scrutinized and examined before flights. And I think the best insurance against a medical problem in space is to send crews that are really fit and really healthy. And of course, there's always the risk of things like trauma, but the risk is actually fairly low. So no emergencies on my flight. Patrick Loehrer: There's no RVUs up there are there, that you have to worry about billing or no? Dr. Robert Satcher: No, we didn't have to deal with third-party payers. Patrick Loehrer: This is looking more and more like a job I want to pursue here, I'm going to be taller and there's no billing. This is great. Dave Johnson: I want to hear from Ellen, what sort of experiments she was involved in and how her medical background helped her assist with that? Dr. Ellen Baker: Yeah. People think, "Gee, if you're a doctor and you're an astronaut, they selected you to be a doctor in space." But in fact, astronauts are selected sort of generically. So once you come into the office, you're trained as an astronaut and Bobby and I were both mission specialists, as opposed to astronaut pilots. And so we received training on all sorts of different things. Bobby did a space walk. I trained for space walks, but never did one. We trained on the remote arm. We trained how to fix things when they were broken. I was actually a flight engineer on one of my flights. But that aside, I was also the crew medical officer and on every flight astronauts participate in medical experiments, because we are trying to gather lots of information from very few people on the physiologic effects of space flight, particularly looking towards longer flights, perhaps back to the moon or to Mars. So I did participate as a subject, I was an operator in a few medical experiments, but the bulk of my responsibilities actually were not medical. And I think Bobby, maybe you would agree with that? We did have some flights that were designated as what I would call, space life sciences flights, but there was only a handful of them and I was not a crew member on any of those flights. Patrick Loehrer: Boy, I could spend another three hours on this and would love to hear more stories. Dave Johnson: This concludes part one of our interview with former NASA astronauts, Drs. Ellen Baker and Robert Satcher. Please be sure to tune in to part two of the interview, where we will learn more about the incredible work they're doing in their post NASA careers.

THE NOUVELLA: STORY-BASED COMMUNITY ARTS TRAINING Hi I'm Bill Cleveland, the host of https://change-the-story-chan.captivate.fm/listen (Change the Story / Change the World.) This week we are going to share something a bit different. In June of 2021 I participated in an international conference convened by the https://artsinsociety.com/ (Art in Society Research Network.) My part was a presentation about using story-based strategies for community arts training. Because of the pandemic, the conference was entirely online, with most of the presentation were delivered asynchronously, or what I call In UNREAL TIME, Which I have to admit is not my favorite mode of teaching. My response was to use a few stories about how using stories help prepare artists and their partners from other community sectors for work in communities and social institutions.  What we came up with is a game show, a scene from a novella about artists working in prison, and a visit to a fake town in the midst of a harsh reckoning around issues of race, justice, othering, and belonging.  Welcome to a special edition of change the story Change the World —- as we pay a visit to the 16th Annual Art in Society Conference.  ***** Hi: I'm Bill Cleveland. I am speaking to you from, Alameda CA, near Oakland which is the traditional land of the Ohlone people and home our county's new VP Kamala Harris.   I run the Center for the Study of Art & Community Our name is a mouthful to be sure but we have a pretty simple mission. Which is basically, helping to Create new community art partnerships in service to building caring, capable & equitable communities and then telling the stories that rise up. Over the past couple of decades, the Center has done that by conducting research, providing cross-sector community arts training, and producing studies, articles books and a podcast on arts-based community development and social change efforts all over the world.  Enough about us. I'd like to begin this presentation by inviting you to participate in one of our fabulous Quiz shows.  The show is actually a little game called TRUTH OR NO. The object of the game is to spark your imaginations and have a bit of fun. To do this you will need write a few things down, Yeah, I know you thought this conference would be just sitting and watching, but please, indulge me here. I'll give you 30 seconds to grab a pencil and paper.  OK now lets start. The game goes like this: In a little bit I am going to share 4 really short-stories that may or may not be true. Your job is to identify the ones that are false. Before I start t you will need to write 1 through 4 on a piece of paper. Now after each little story I tell write T for those you think are true and N for No for the fabrications. This will happen very fast. So here we go.  Space Out: Way back in the 20th century the US Space Program felt they needed more public support. So, they decided to engage artists to help them to draw more positive attention to their efforts. This NASA arts program started with a bang – hiring Oh Superman, Laurie Anderson and Pop artist, Robert Rauschenberg as resident artists to make art celebrating the exploration of the cosmos.  CRACKED: Once upon a time A group of neighbors found themselves with a crack house problem. They responded by engaging law enforcement, zoning officials, and the city council, all to no avail. In their desperation they turned to a group of artists from the community. These artists went crazy, whipping out a mural that was so powerful that within 24 hours of its completion the dope peddlers had totally fled the scene, never to return.  MAXED OUT: If you are incarcerated in SuperMax prison you spend 90% of your life locked in an 8x10 cell and will breath fresh air only 60 minutes a week.

With this episode we go back to our pattern of talking about things we know very little about. For this episode we focus on our memories of the US Space Program. We will review memories about the “Race to the Moon” that occurred in the 60s and early 70s. The danger and consequences of travelling to space are highlighted. We also discus everything we know about space garbage which turned out to be more than we thought. In this episode, you will also get a chance to learn what to say to an astronaut when you happen to be sitting next to one at a Charity Casino Night event. We also mention a few other memories when we were up close and personal with current and future astronauts. Naturally, we slip in a few words about social issues surrounding how earthlings are interacting with space. Last but not least, we ask the age old question, “Really, why do we need to walk in space anyway.” Hope you enjoy the episode and that it reminds you of your own memories about Space. As with all of our episodes, this is a standalone episode, which means that you don’t have to listen to any other episode to enjoy this one. We hope you find this short conversation interesting.

Can we Crowdsource Government? NASA's Deputy Director for the Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation (CoECI), Steve Rader, joined me for an episode of the Reboot Chronicles, to discuss how our government went from “not-invented-here” to crowdsourcing and the art of Dancing with Startups. Founded in 2011 by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, NASA's CoECI goal was to drive crowdsourcing programs to further research and development efforts, assist other federal agencies in solving mission-critical projects, and bringing a new level of co-creation and open-innovation culture to NASA. This decade's overused buzzword, co-creation, was introduced into NASA's culture a decade ago by Dr. Jeff R. Davis, NASA's prior Director, Human Health and Performance. During a time when NASA was experiencing heavy budget cuts with increasing R&D needs, Jeff found he could expand his resources in various industries, through open-innovation challenges. He took this discovery, and often without permission, ran pilot projects with entrepreneurs and startups to prop-up research projects—and the rest is history. "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions." - Albert Einstein NASA was able to elevate the center to the agency level, tasked to teaching other government agencies to understand how to re-frame problems and reboot their closed mindsets. Similar to what I teach students, executives and board members at Kellogg School of Management, through my Dancing with Startups Program, NASA has guided the US Space Program and over 30 other agencies, on how to discover better solutions by driving more open-innovation, co-creation and crowdsourcing.

If you’re a grandparent, no doubt you know there’s no greater joy than sharing a book with your grandchildren that’s both educational and inspiring. And it doesn’t get much more educational and inspiring than this one! Our guest, Katherine Moore, has enjoyed a long and successful career as a teacher and guidance counselor. However, Katherine joins us to talk about her mother, Katherine Johnson. You may know her mother’s name from her celebrated work that helped to launch the US Space Program, or the buildings that NASA has dedicated in her memory, or the movie, Hidden Figures.  Now Katherine, her sister, Joylette, and National Geographic Kids have combined forces to create a wonderful children’s book that explores not only her famous mother’s legacy but also the nearly insurmountable odds this brave and talented woman faced and overcame. The book is called, ONE STEP FURTHER: My Story of Math, the Moon, and a Lifelong Mission and I am both thrilled and honored to speak with Katherine. If you are looking for the perfect gift for the special boys and girls in your life (and a book that will inspire you as much as it does them), be sure to tune in for this one!

I was scheduled for a final year interview but at the very last minute - it didn't happen, so this is an adlib broadcast which asks us to become mindful of that which surrounds us and to become conscious of the force that sustains our being. In today's broadcast I remind us that: Earth. A biosphere.A complex - subtly balancedLife - support - system. Et turtur nidum,Ubi reponat pullos suosAltaria tua Domine virtutum,Rex meus, et Deus meus (You will understand the above when you listen to the broadcast.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfHXfy9Fs5E  Greetings to you all, from GreenplanetFM.com here in Nuclear Free New Zealand - and nearly GE & GMO Free NZ* - situated little over over 2000, kilometres from Australia in the South West Pacific Ocean and only 2.600 kilometres from the South Pole and the last major country to be colonised as well. So here we are in many ways isolated from the rest of our global kin. And what a year it was - and note … There is so much possibility … even in these tumultuous times and believe me - we can initiate conscious change and this opportunity is going to unfold all through this decade starting in early 2021 next year - that we are a global family awakening into being - but I am getting ahead of myself. So Kia ora and a warm hello to you dear breathers of the one breath that envelops our magnificent biosphere and home planet - mother earth - our great sustainer … Trusting that I find you warmly inner resourced, that at heart you are able to feel grounded and still. Being able to remain focussed yet fluid in your response to the winds of change buffeting the collective consciousness of the 7.8 billion of humanity - sharing the invisible breath at this moment. 2020 - sure has brought our perspective and vision into focus as humanity dealing with fragmentation and disfunction to realise the imperative that we have to come together as a species and a global family - because looking in at the earth from outer space - that is how we are being seen. We have to raise the platform of our viewpoint like that of the astronauts who journeyed to the moon 50 years ago. Remember what they said - we live on a floating blue and white pearl surrounded by the so-called emptiness of space. It’s home for us all. So every morning as our planet turns and the suns rays kiss the faces of us emerging from our sleep to engage in our daily tasks - as Mothers engage in caring for their babies and children and fathers go out working to bring in the cash for another day - (sorry about the stereotype) we must ask that there has to be something better for children for today and tomorrow - as we learn that every breath we take comes from the plankton of our oceans and trees and forests and grasslands of the vegetable kingdom of our biosphere. We also have to be grateful that it’s our planet that lends us bodies in which to live. This is so profound that Mother earth lends us our body, yes … and it’s our planet that lends us free air to breathe and free rainwater to drink and until recently a free food chain in which to eat and nourish our being … That we are taking in the three elements of air, water and the earth in the form of minerals - that there is also the 4th element and that is that of fire - and the sun which our planet orbits annually has another name - the Latin word - Sol - so there is an extension of light and fullness that shines 24/7/365 for millennia and eons - thus showing us that there is so much majesty in this world - that we have found ourselves surrounded in literally a garden paradise that to some remind us of a long distant mystery and story that we were once in another garden - one that was absent of anything that was not positive, optimistic of light and love … So in recognising ourselves - we are one species of many colours, creeds & cultures that for millennia has slowly evolved from tribalism to city states, to nations and empires … and now we are in need of both a change of heart to unity consciousness to jump the divide and realise that we are all intrinsically connected - as a planetary species. However … that to be conditioned and homogenised by the present global institutions (MSM) into the same swamp of sameness is not the answer to a free spirit. Remember we in Aotearoa NZ we used to have an educational system that encourages us to ask questions, and to be curious, to wonder. This goes back to the earlier times because NZ is an extension of the British education system which in many ways itself was founded on ancient Greek thought and knowledge, and I wish to focus here for a moment as I had the good fortune to go to Greece last year. Ancient Greece For such a small gene pool, the Greeks made very important contributions to life, especially philosophy, because Greek philosophers were "seekers and lovers of wisdom". They studied and analyzed the world around them using logic and reason. Although we often think of philosophy as religion or "the meaning of life", the Greek philosophers were also scientists, they studied the makeup of both nature and matter. They were also adept at mathematics and physics; they brought us the word atom - plus geometry, astronomy, and medicine, extending into anatomy, athletics and of course the Olympic Games . ... The Greeks were known for their drama and plays in their amphitheatres as well as sophisticated sculpture and architecture as well. More so, it was the birthplace of Democracy - and yes, they had slaves as well. Possibly one third of the population were slaves. The Greek culture influenced the Roman Empire and many other civilizations, and it continues to influence modern cultures even today. Note that the Greeks did not descend into the Roman darkness of humans killing humans in the Coliseum. Aotearoan NZ Maori However one of my main reasons for going to Greece, which was my third time, was that I have been a student of our living planet for 38 years, and it was the early Greeks who understood this - and they called her Gaia, the Earth mother - that’s over two and half thousand years ago and I wanted to see if their understanding, was similar to the Aotearoa New Zealand Maori - who here in this country have a very sacred connection to the earth - calling her - Papatuanuku. Recently, they have successfully engaged and secured the NZ Government to recognise a river, the Whanganui River (awa) as being a living entity that is embedded in the landscape of this country. Having a catchment area of 7,308 square kilometres. Furthermore, Maori have also worked with the New Zealand Government to have them bequeath, due to its geographical isolation Te Urewera of Tuhoi, the regional tribe or iwi - a national park that is essentially all forest that covers 2,127 square kilometres in size. Bestowing on this land to be a legal entity that has the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of a legal person. These are world firsts … Having lived near on 72 years of my life in New Zealand - hanging out on the underside of the curvature of our planet, and spending 17 years as Air NZ flight crew flying from the Southern Hemisphere up over the equator into the northern Hemisphere - I had also spent time with Dr Elisabet Sahtouris - who is a geo biologist (among many of her other scientific attributes) and she has studied our planet as a super organism - but I have also had the good fortune to interview Dr James Lovelock - a polymath, who through his research with NASA, the US Space Program - gave us a hypothesis that is now a theory - that our planet is a colossal living superorganism. That, in so many ways, has birthed life and as the ancient Greeks say - “from her - all things have issued.” And so I landed in Athens and set out walking to breathe in the magnificence of this ancient city and see the ordered splendour that they endowed to their civilisation. Yet, with one thing ticking over in my being - how did they come to an understanding that our planet was a living being? Then it hit me … A cat has kittens, a dog has puppies, a cow has a calf, a sheep has a lamb and a goat has a kid. Also, a bear has a cub and a horse has a foal … and they all come from a Mother. Then when I looked around me - in the street - I saw all of these people - men, and women, elderly, and teenagers and children - and they too - all came from a mother … so then the Greeks must have looked at their navel and their belly button and remembered that this is where they were connected to their mother, their grandmother and great grandmother …and in their mind traced back through the family tree and finally they must have deduced that in the mists of time - somehow, somewhere - their bodies must have come from mother earth - because - as in the introduction of this program I mentioned that we are made of the 3 main elements with the sun representing fire to show the four forces of nature. Now when I relate this to the Aotearoan Maori - a great many of them revere Papatuanuku. Quite astounding really - because when in their company all I have to do is mention Papatuanuku in a context of food, water, wind, fish whatever - I manage to get their focussed attention and a wonderful conversation ensues. And to anyone who understands Maori Lore - the belly button and umbilical cord to them is one of the most sacred connections they have back to source. They call it Whakapapa. Maori who have an oral language - have another unique way of singing their connection to source and so they sing their lineage - or bloodline to their babies - pe`pi and children, tamariki - that by the time the baby is 4 or 5 they know their lineage perfectly - completely and this takes them back via the 7 canoes, their waka that they sailed a thousand years ago - from Hawaiki - their mystical departure place within the Pacific ocean - (moana) and at a very basic level - they have a greater sense of belonging and a connection to a/the source. So this was part of my journey into Greece. I also visited Delphi - where the oracle was a very significant part of how the Greeks divined the future - This is where the rounded temple of Athena sat with the rectangular temple of Apollo. Two very different structures. Also, Delphi is known as the navel of the world - the navel of Gaia, such were the clairvoyants of that day able to see clearly - and for a certain amount of time - they nearly brought about a golden age - one that talks of Pericles and Athens. Also over a very small aperture of time so many great beings incarnated into the small Greek landmass that also straddled Western Turkey where the splendour of the 2nd Acropolis only to Athens was built at Pergamon during the Hellenic period and just 170 kilometres further south is the ruins of the once majestic splendour of Ephesus and one of the 7 Wonders of the World - the Temple of Artemis and the Sacred Feminine. Note the ancients knew about subtle energy. Our planet has energy lines and nodal points just like with acupuncture meridians. The British called them Ley Lines - Stonehenge, Glastonbury, the Great Pyramids of Egypt and many Cathedrals of Europe are situated along these Universal Lines of Invisible Force. They are in all countries, here in NZ too, right in Auckland. I would like to finish this little Greek, Maori discourse by mentioning Pythagoras one of the more mystical philosophers of ancient times when it is purported that when we sit really still and are in a quiet meditative state - we can hear the music of the spheres and the planets all spinning. For it was he who originally intuited that our planet was round. That some planets are larger than others - and all spin and hum to a series of musical notes - and thus when sitting and listening to all these planets are part of a musical sound system - a symphony if you will … that we still today are not aware of. We are beings of this planet awakening to a higher consciousness So here we are today living on our magnificent turning, living world atlas - of 4 seasons - that every 6 months tilts away from the sun until 182 days later - incomprehensibly turn back to another season of warmth and light - all in ordered splendour - whilst below on the planet floor and at sea level, the vegetable, animal and human kingdoms draw sustenance from the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire that keeps all species proliferating whilst hidden within the web of life, our planet’s mysterious temperature thermostat embed in the atmosphere and connected to countless other physical conditions keeps this giant super organism in stasis - and balance - enabling all life to magnificently stay homeostatically alive in relationship to a tightly coupled sublime - life support system. So yes … we have to reconfigure our consciousness - our awareness of who we are … for there is a saying that the purpose for existence is to find out the purpose for existence … as to who we are - and that we are spiritual beings having an earth experience - here to fulfill our need to live gracefully as a global family awakening to our unknown potential, whilst in a world that is heaving in anxiety and un-fulfillment. The Awakening Earth This is our time and our incarnation to divine who we are and look within - knowing that we are surrounded in all 6 directions by infinity, coiling with suns through deep dimensions of time. It’s also our time to storm the inner self and recognise that we have been like dormant seeds nested under the ground and being like Gods of limitation, awaiting a new metaphor for ascension and to now burst out of our dark cocoon of unknowingness into the sunlight of a totally new day. Even more so - to ignite our innermost expression as embryo Gods and realise that every baby born into this realm is an energy bundle of exponential potential and love. If there is one thing that we’ve learned from global mainstream media is we’ve been conditioned and desensitised at the same time - being boxed into something like a self-limiting 6 sided cube or more precisely a rectangle - when at soul level we need to increase and extend our aura of consciousness that surrounds us all - to that of the fullness of an expanding sphere and see more degrees of arc and dimensionally as well … with 360 degrees of perspective in every direction, both horizontally and vertically. Pushing out the barriers. As we simultaneously - look deeply within as well. Sure - from our first breath in this lifetime we came in full of passion and imagination … our aim … extend the invisible envelope that surrounds our being … our auric field.   But, that was for many of us during the last century - now we are realising that life for us is potent and full of possibilities … Now today, with instantaneous connection to nearly every human on earth we are only a moment away from a family smile and of a loved one - we are only a couple of degrees of separation and the way forward is to share the good and to spread that which will empower us as we realise our connection to 7.8 billion other possibilities - all endeavoring to find their way in life, where we can grow into the light of our own true self. https://www.ourplanet.org/original-site/gaia.html  “Remember - when you were young … you shined like the sun - Shine on you crazy diamond …” Roger Waters of Pink Floyd when he once happily wrote ‘Wish you were here’ THAT YES, we do need to learn much, more about inner discipline and what that signifies and even more about loving our neighbour. Also, to remember our roots as sovereign beings yet realise that we are all neighbours and that goodwill has to flow over all borders in the spirit of cooperation and collaboration. One planet - one earth - from the grass roots up! ADDENDUM: You may wonder why there is no ‘recent’ emphasis on Climate Change and especially the so-called driver Global Warming on the front page of this web site. Well, originally when I started broadcasting in late 2003 I was very keen to be the Global Warming radio program for NZ. Those who remember will be aware that in 2006 icebergs could be seen from the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, even from the hills around Christchurch. However, we have had no such increase in icebergs since then. https://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/11/25/iceberg.newzealand/index.html  Yes - the glaciers in NZ’s Southern Alps are still receding and melting, the waters around the NZ coastline are warming especially in summer and as I always finish my hot shower with a cold shower every time I bathe - I notice especially this year that the water is not really cold but nearly lukewarm, because the water pipes that are in the ground coming to my home are showing that the ground is definitely warming. These three pointers are very serious. However, in this radio program, I call out that there are two other very problematic situations affecting the atmospheric envelope that surrounds our planet. These are geoengineering that includes solar radiation management, or SRM, ... SRM techniques include stratospheric aerosols, reflective ... composed of metallic aluminum, aluminum oxide and barium titanate and strontium. The other, is the use of electronic manipulation of the ionosphere by transmitting radio waves up into the atmosphere. It’s also called Weather wars and Frequency wars and also known as HAARP frequencies. The US is definitely doing this so are China and Russia. This is very serious - however you will never get Ecologists and Environmentalists to sit down and go through the science of what is happening with these two terrible technologies that have been forced upon us - the human species. As for academics and intellectuals in our universities - their job seems to come before any other moral or ethical considerations. https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/ These two subjects are covered by this radio program and you can access them by looking at the ’slider’ on the front page. This state of affairs is a very sad and serious indictment by those in power and until ‘the swamp’ in the higher echelons of Governments globally, are collectively ‘drained’ - these deceitful and insidious acts will continue to the detriment of the biosphere, all biota and especially our children of today and tomorrow. I played this wonderful song: Lost in a Lost WorldThe Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80nUhHofw0U I woke up today, I was cryingLost in a lost world'Cause so many people are dyingLost in a lost worldSome of them are living an illusionBounded by the darkness of their mindsIn their eyes it's nation against nation, against nationWith racial pride sad hearts they hideThinking only of themselvesThey shun the light (Some of them shun the light)They think they're right (Some of them think they're right)Living in their empty shells (Some live in their empty shells)Oh, can you see their world is crashing?

I wish to exhort and implore you to take some time out to play this below video. Because, what is happening is that the controllers of the City of London are endeavouring to lock down all of the disunited Kingdom as they see that Trump in America is slowly and methodically taking down the Deep State in Washington DC and it will not be long before he crosses the Atlantic and takes on the England and the EU - and drains the corruption there too. Check 27 minutes in and 40 minutes as well - but please take your valuable time to become savvy of the distortions that we are living around. https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-christmas-special-review-year  I finished by calling All Crew of Spaceship Earth to ‘action stations.’ That we have to take care of the ships embedded operating systems like air conditioning, refrigeration, water and food producing facilities and that in the days and years ahead ‘Unity Consciousness’ is the only way we can take care of today and tomorrow. Meantime we at GreenplanetFM, wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and especially 2021 - because, we will have much to do to freely live as hearted centered beings - navigating time and space.

Welcome to the Breaking Barriers series of our A Little Louder Now podcasts. During this series, Alex and Alicia shine a light on two trailblazing women in a different themed topic each month. These two take their fangirling seriously and are excited to share about women who broke down barriers and reached back to pull up the next generation. This month, we celebrate Black History month. In keeping with that, our theme is Queens of Black History. Our featured Queen of Black History for this episode is Katherine Johnson. Without Mrs. Johnson, the US Space Program would likely not have succeeded when it did. Her calculations and analysis of orbital mechanics(which didn't exist at the time)were absolutely critical to the success of the first (and subsequent) manned spaceflights and many more. We celebrate Mrs. Johnson's unparalleled work as a "female computer" and the barriers she and other women of color worked to break at NASA. She is truly extraordinary. Take a listen!

On This Week's Show... This show originally recorded on 5 April 2019 What does the Sultan of Brunei and the US Space Program have in common? Not much, come to think of it, but both made good topics for today’s show. Mike, Josh, and Tim welcomed back our friend Steve to discuss the recent abhorrent abuses against the LGBTQ+ community, and the US getting back to the moon in a big way. Enjoy! Editor’s Note: This episode is particularly drunk and opinionated. We may not always agree with each other’s opinions, but the point of the show is that we can share a diversity of opinion and still remain friends at the end. Also Overheard: You guys have NO IDEA how hard this intro was to do after a few drinks. Almost as hard as it was to edit sober…. “Pence” and “Boner” doesn’t belong in the same sentence. Sorry Alabama. We’re sure your teeth are perfectly fine. Florica, on the other hand… Tim’s not a rocket scientist but he plays one on the internet. Read up on Alan Turing if you’re not familiar with him. Here is Brunei. Yeah, so this actually happened. Josh isn’t anti-Christian, just anti-dipshit.    

It's hard to find a better example of an agorist than Jim. He once racked up 600,000 counts of felony gambling charges. Another time, he spent ten minutes with Barack Obama, preaching the anti-war message. Still not convinced? Jim almost took down the entire US Space Program using counter-economics. In this episode, Jim gives us the details on all of this and more!

For almost 20 years, the USS Hornet Museum in Alameda has stood as a monument to the US Navy, the men who defend our nation and the US Space Program. But the Hornets history goes far beyond its time as a museum. From battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa to retrieving the Apollo 11 crew upon their return home, the Hornet has been one of the most historically significant ships in our nations long history. Today, we welcome to the podcast Captain Mike McCarron formerly of the United States Navy, to talk about the Hornets amazing past and how you can be a part of it for the price of an admission ticket.

This week, Tim Montgomerie is joined by Francis Elliott, Matthew Parris and Jenni Russell. DYR? Francis Elliott If David Cameron really wants the European Commission to be an agent for change and a place where dynamic politicians go to complete a glittering career two of his arguments from the Juncker J'accuse speech last week - then why on earth is he poised to send Andrew Lansley to Brussels? Matthew Parris Neither my time nor my capacity for enquiry and deliberation are unlimited. So I have decided to have no opinion at all on what those involved should do about the ISIS crisis. We British are not involved. I have no opinion on the future of the US Space Program, either. Jenni Russell There's been outrage over the revelation that Facebook spent a week manipulating the news its users read to discover whether giving them sad or happy stories affected what they then posted online. The anger is justified. But we are all being manipulated all the time by what we read, see and choose to follow... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
