Brief Summary: The program focused on a discussion with Roger Launius, a retired NASA historian, about his book covering NASA's history from its origins as NACA to the present day. The conversation explored NASA's relationship with commercial space industry, historical organizational changes, and the challenges of accessing NASA's historical records and archives. The discussion also covered various technical and political aspects of space exploration, including decision-making processes, military roles in space, and the evolution of NASA's approach to partnerships and innovation. Roger shared his thoughts on the future of space exploration, expressing uncertainty about the timeline for lunar missions and human presence on Mars. Space Show team participants included myself, John Jossy, Bill Gowan, Marshall Martin, John Hunt, Dr. Ajay Kothari, and Phil Swan.Detailed Summary: As host I welcomed Dr. Roger Launius back to the Space Show to discuss his new book, “From NACA to NASA to Now.” Launius explained that the book, published in 2025, provides a concise history of NASA from its origins as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1915 to its transformation into NASA in 1958. He highlighted the ongoing role of NASA's legacy research centers in aeronautical research today. Launius also discussed the evolution of the aerospace industry, emphasizing that the distinction between “old space” and “new space” is complex and not clearly defined. He noted that private sector activities in space have a long history, dating back to the 1950s, and that NASA's approach to commercial partnerships has evolved over time, particularly with the creation of separate entities to handle launch services in the 1990s.Bill Gowan and Roger discussed the evolution of NASA's relationship with commercial space, noting that while NASA has always relied on commercial industry for spacecraft design and construction, there has been a shift towards non-cost-plus contracts. Roger highlighted that while NASA innovations have contributed to commercial space advancements, the designs are not entirely independent of NASA's influence. They also explored the partisan nature of NASA's early years, with Roger explaining that the Apollo program faced political challenges from both the left and right, and was subject to budget cuts after its initial success.The discussion focused on the impact of the government shutdown on NASA's historical resources and archives. Roger explained that while NASA facilities are currently closed, their websites and online historical resources remain accessible, though not updated. He detailed the complex federal records system, noting that most NASA records are stored at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and other federal record centers across the country, with access often delayed by years, especially for recent or classified materials. Marshall inquired about accessing Elon Musk's communications with NASA and the President, to which Roger clarified that such recent records would not be available in the National Archives yet and suggested using interviews and publicly released documents for journalistic research on recent events.Roger explained that separating historical facts from salesmanship in space exploration is a challenging task due to the varied motivations behind statements. He emphasized the importance of understanding these motivations and balancing contradictory perspectives. David inquired about the feasibility of modernizing old Apollo lunar lander plans, to which Roger confirmed that NASA possesses extensive technical drawings and records of past hardware in federal records centers and has historically allowed access for analysis. Roger also described the difficult transition from NACA to NASA in 1958, highlighting resistance from the military, particularly over the transfer of the von Braun team and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency's resources, which was a prolonged and contentious process.Our discussion addressed historical NASA consolidations and organizational changes, with Roger explaining that efforts to close or merge NASA facilities have been ongoing since the 1960s, though political opposition from congressional delegations has typically prevented closures. The conversation also covered the history of the National Space Council, which was established in 1958 but became less active after the 1960s, particularly under Nixon, before being revived by the Trump administration. John Hunt raised questions about military roles in space, noting how the Army developed its own ballistic missile programs while the Air Force maintained separate capabilities, highlighting ongoing challenges in service roles and missions.Roger explained that Space Council issues are now handled through the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House. He discussed the difficulty in finding detailed information about NASA's decision-making process for certain projects, such as the Mars Sample Return mission. Roger mentioned that some individuals, like George Lowe and Bob Siemens, kept detailed records of meetings and decisions, which are now available at Rensselaer and MIT respectively. David asked if there would be a “post-NASA era,” to which Roger responded that there is no known impetus for such a transition. The conversation also touched on the public and intellectual resistance to using Nazi engineers, like Wernher von Braun, in the early American space program, and the debate within the federal government about this issue.Roger discussed the history of supersonic flight, clarifying that Chuck Yeager did not demand a million dollars to fly the X1 and that Slick Chalmers flew multiple supersonic flights. He also addressed a controversy about whether the F-86 pilot beat Yeager's speed record, noting that the evidence was unreliable. Roger emphasized the importance of data-driven decision-making in engineering, using examples from the Challenger disaster and flight readiness reviews. Marshall inquired about decision-making processes, and Roger highlighted the need for comprehensive data and proper training in engineering education.The group discussed historical space program decisions, focusing on the Challenger launch and the X-30 National Aerospace Plane program. Roger explained that while data existed showing risks of cold-weather launches, the decision-making process was complex and the data wasn't presented clearly, leading to the catastrophic failure. The discussion also covered the X-30 program, which was announced by Reagan in the 1980s but ended in the early 90s due to technological challenges and cost concerns, though some research continued.Roger discussed the NACA's contributions to aeronautics, highlighting its approach to research and development. He explained how the NACA hired young engineers and provided them with advanced research tools, such as the variable density wind tunnel, which led to significant advancements in airframe and wing design. Roger also mentioned the NACA's involvement in rocket research during World War II, which eventually led to the establishment of NASA and the transition of key personnel to the new space agency.Roger discussed his friendship with Dr. John Anderson and shared details about a 2009 incident involving Mike Griffin and Laurie Garver at a launch party for John Logsdon's book. He explained that Mike Griffin expressed concerns about Laurie Garver's involvement in the Constellation program, emphasizing her need to step back from technical details. Roger also highlighted Laurie Garver's significant role in transitioning NASA to the commercial crew program, advocating for private sector involvement in space exploration. The conversation touched on the challenges NASA faced in the 1990s, including the cancellation of the X-33 program and the search for alternatives to the Space Shuttle.Concluding Summary: The meeting featured an interview with Roger, a retired NASA historian, who discussed his book on the history of NASA and its predecessor organizations. Roger shared his plans for future conferences and mentioned his current residence in Auburn, Alabama. The discussion also covered the availability of Roger's book for free download from NASA. The conversation ended with thanks to the show's sponsors and participants, and a reminder about an upcoming open lines session.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

I'm joined once again by Dr. Ken Yeager for an honest and insightful conversation about healing from trauma. And why it's so much more than just “moving on.” As a journalist and trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand how deeply these experiences can affect both our bodies and our minds.In this episode, Dr. Yeager and I dig into the science behind trauma and stress, exploring how unresolved pain and constant fight-or-flight responses can show up as physical symptoms—everything from gut issues to memory lapses. We talk about the myth of the “quick fix,” and the importance of understanding how nutrition, nervous system regulation, and holistic wellness all play a part in true healing.I open up about my own healing journey, including what it's taken for me to unravel old patterns, the obstacles I've faced, and the ways I've learned to ask for help. Dr. Yeager helps map out what recovery really looks like. Highlighting why it's a team effort, why vulnerability matters, and how patience and compassion are essential.If you or someone you care about is living with the aftermath of trauma, I hope our conversation offers guidance, encouragement, and real hope. You are not alone, and there is a path forward—one step, one day at a time.Some important takeaways I wanted to share:Healing is Holistic: Trauma has a real, measurable impact on physical health, including inflammation, chronic illness, and even memory loss. Addressing trauma requires looking at emotional, nutritional, physical, and environmental factors, not just quick fixes or medications.The Recovery Journey is Nonlinear—but Mapped: True healing isn't instant. Dr. Yeager shared a roadmap of about 18-24 months, with stages of crashing, building hope, setbacks, and ultimately acceptance and growth. Understanding this timeline can help set compassionate expectations for ourselves and others.Self-Awareness is the Foundation: Early warning signs of stress and trauma (jaw clenching, sleep disturbance, emotional numbing) are our body's way of communicating. Being honest with yourself and willing to ask for help opens the door to real, lasting change.Moments00:00 Stress, Inflammation, and Health Risks04:04 Visualizing Emotional Impact on Body09:12 "Balancing Holistic and Western Medicine"10:45 Balancing Health and Medication16:39 Aging, Trauma, and Cognitive Decline20:05 Neurotransmitter Activity in Hyper-vigilance22:45 Understanding Memory Gaps and Trauma24:51 Intentional Healing Through Determination27:31 "Challenges of Executive Dysfunction"31:45 Recovery Challenges: 120-180 Days36:57 Understanding Neurodivergence and Addiction Struggles40:05 Empowerment Through Understanding and SupportSpirit of EQ We hope you enjoy the podcast.

Coronado doesn't need another church, it needs a move of God. In this powerful message, Ps. Mike explores how we embrace the assignment of God to save a city!
We're talking about a topic that touches so many lives but is still so misunderstood. Trauma and its profound impact on our minds and bodies. I'm joined once again by Dr. Ken Yeager, a leading expert whose career has been dedicated to understanding trauma, neuroscience, and the power of nervous system regulation.In this conversation, we unpack what trauma really does to us. Not just emotionally, but neurologically. We explore how adverse life events, especially early in life, can literally rewire our brains, influencing everything from our daily decisions to our sense of safety in the world. Dr. Yeager explains the science behind the fight, flight, and freeze responses, and why high-pressure professions like journalism, healthcare, and law can leave us feeling chronically on edge.You'll hear personal stories from my own journey as a journalist and trauma survivor, and we'll talk about the realities of living in a society that demands more, faster—and why that's making so many of us unwell. More importantly, we focus on hope and practical tools, like mindfulness and nervous system regulation, that can help us begin to heal, slow down, and actually experience life in the present.If you've ever felt exhausted, anxious, or wondered if there's a healthier way to move through the world, this episode will resonate with you. We're here to remind you that you're not alone—and there is hope and support on the horizon.Here are my 3 key takeaways:Trauma isn't just “in your head." It rewires your brain and narrows your ability to access critical thinking, often pushing you into fight, flight, or freeze mode. This can make daily life and decision-making feel overwhelming, especially in high-stress professions.Nervous system regulation and mindfulness are not just nice-to-haves; they're game changers for sustainable performance and wellbeing. Simply learning to check in with your body, take a deep breath, or slow down your internal pace cues your brain to exit survival mode.Organizations that acknowledge the impact of stress and create space for mindfulness see real benefits. Not just for their people, but for productivity as well. A reimagined “work-life balance” starts by recognizing that we're not machines, and our emotional well-being deserves real priority.Moments00:00 Understanding Trauma and Nervous System Regulation03:52 Trauma's Impact on Brain Function07:51 "Managing Calm in Recovery"10:08 "Building Positive Energy Awareness"16:12 Post-COVID Work-Life Balance Trends20:26 Nervous System Stress Impacts22:32 Prioritizing Emotional Well-Being Over Expectations26:37 Grounding Through Presence28:49 Finding Focus and Grounding31:23 Mental Health Resources & SupportSpirit of EQ We hope you enjoy the podcast.

Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?We'd all love our children to breeze through school, enjoying a satisfying academic life, having lots of friends, and coming out at the end feeling a success. But what if you have a child that doesn't thrive in an academic environment? What if they can't or won't do the work? How do you deal with it and what techniques can you use to motivate them?According to eminent psychologist, Dr David Yeager, when kids hit puberty they're primarily looking for experiences that give them social status and respect.He says the common belief that teens and young adults are lazy and incompetent causes us to miss what really motivates them, and do some pretty dumb things that don't help.In his book, 10-25: The Science of How to Motivate Young People, Yeager - who's ranked as one of the top 0.1% most-influential psychologists in the world - explains how the science of motivating young people can help us to harness their drive for social status and a growth mindset so they're motivated to achieve their best.BOOK:10-25: The Science of Motivating Young PeopleDAVID YEAGER: Author/Professor/Scientistyeagerds@austin.utexas.eduTED Talks: Sir Ken Robinson Do schools kill creativity?https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity?language=enBooks referenced:The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned JohnsonThe Gift of Failure by Jessica LaheyThrivers by Michele BorbaSupport the showThank you so much for your support.

This next guest we can honestly say is one of the smartest guests & folks we have ever come across in doing the show (he will tell you otherwise), but our guest is what Shakespeare would say, “Jack of all Tradses & Master of none, though oftentimes better than a master of one”. He also likes a good cigar & sipping beverage while having a good conversation. Most fans know him from Texas Chainsaw 3D (2013) as “Leatherface” but let's welcome Mr. Dan Yeager!Dan YeagerIG: https://www.instagram.com/danyeagerla/Crazy Train RadioFacebook: facebook.com/realctradioInstagram: @crazytrainradioX/Twitter: @realctradioBlueSky: @crazytrainradio.bsky.socialWebsite: crazytrainradio.usYouTube: youtube.com/crazytrainradio
I'm Hattie Hawks, and in this very special episode, I'm opening up about my personal journey with complex PTSD—how I discovered it, how it's shown up in my life, and how it continues to shape my healing process. I'm joined by Dr. Ken Yeager, the founder of the STAR (Stress, Trauma And Resilience) program at The Ohio State University and an expert in trauma research and recovery.In this conversation, Dr. Yeager and I talk about what trauma really is, how it lives in our minds and bodies, and the sometimes subtle, sometimes overwhelming ways it impacts our emotions, executive function, and relationships. We talk candidly about my own experiences—including the surprises and setbacks of recovery—and how trauma can show up even when we might not realize it. Dr. Yeager also gives us an accessible look at the neuroscience behind trauma, why we might blame ourselves, and the ways our culture and recent events (like the COVID-19 pandemic) have increased collective feelings of isolation and stress.I hope this episode brings you validation if you're on your own healing journey, or helps you better understand and support those around you. With honesty, some well-earned humility, and the wisdom of a true expert, we explore how emotional intelligence and self-compassion are absolutely crucial as we work toward joy and wholeness. Thank you for being here with me—let's take these next steps together.Here are 3 key takeaways from our discussion:Trauma often hides behind everyday struggles. If you—or your colleagues—are feeling scattered, forgetful, or emotionally exhausted, underlying trauma might be part of the story. Understanding this is step one to creating more supportive workplaces.Healing is not linear—and self-compassion is essential. Progress is messy. You may move forward, backwards, or sideways, and that's okay. Extending kindness to yourself (and others) is a critical part of recovery.Connection is the antidote to loneliness and shame. Whether you're recovering from trauma yourself or leading others, fostering genuine human connection and open dialogue fosters healing and growth for everyone.Key Moments00:00 Trauma Insights with Dr. Yeager09:44 "Parental Impact on Childhood Trauma"13:19 Impact of Trauma on Perspectives19:33 Healing Through Life Experiences25:58 Understanding Personal History30:20 Loneliness Epidemic: Fear of Closeness33:37 Thriving Through Emotional Understanding42:50 Struggling with Emotional Connection43:54 Loneliness and Connection Crisis53:22 "Self-Understanding Through Compassion"55:16 Processing Emotions and Anger01:01:11 Rediscovering Joy Amidst Challenges01:11:06 "Understanding Work's Impact on Well-being"01:12:44 "OSU STAR & Helpful Resources"In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

In this episode, I talk with David Yeager about what really fuels motivation and a sense of belonging for our kids—especially neurodivergent ones. We unpack the different mindsets adults bring to the table—like enforcer, protector, and mentor—and how shifting into a mentor mindset can help kids feel respected, understood, and more engaged. David shares powerful insights about what helps adolescents thrive, and we explore how things like trust, connection, and belief in a child's potential can make all the difference.

Send us a textYou've been tossing mindset seeds onto concrete, wondering why they won't grow. Walton & Yeager's research confirms that powerful beliefs—like “you belong here” or “you can grow”—won't take root just because we say them. Beliefs need fertile ground. When your culture, systems, or norms contradict your message, people don't just ignore it—they lose trust in your leadership.
In this episode of The Hormone Genius, we sit down with Haley Yeager to explore a topic every woman deserves to understand—how charting your cycle can be a life-changing tool for health, healing, and wholeness. Contrary to popular belief, menstrual cycle charting isn't just for family planning. It's one of the most powerful insights a woman can have into her overall health. A well-charted cycle acts like a monthly report card, revealing signs of hormonal imbalances, fertility struggles, or conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. It's not just about reproduction—it's about connection with your body. We also discuss the widespread use of hormonal birth control as a catch-all solution for reproductive concerns. While the pill may manage symptoms, it often masks the real issue, delaying diagnosis and treatment. True healing begins with understanding what's actually happening in the body—and that starts with cycle awareness. Haley shares her own powerful journey. At 16, she was prescribed the pill to manage irregular periods but quickly experienced intense side effects. Unsatisfied with masking symptoms, she turned to cycle charting and, through the help of a knowledgeable OBGYN, was diagnosed with PCOS. This shift allowed her to manage her health naturally—and ultimately led to the conception of her three beautiful children.

The physician, Luke, gives an account of Jesus healing a woman who had been inflicted with a spirit of infirmity for 18 years.

Mike asks us to examine if there is any evidence of Pharisee in our hearts.
