This will help me bring better programming to the audience. For the first program of 2016, we did Open Lines plus you the listeners provided us with your space predictions for 2016. We started out our 1 hour 37 minute program by my announcing the launch of our new website and noting that the launch took out the drspace@thespaceshow.com email address. I used the Special Announcement option (it posts on our Wordpress blog) on the new website to post two messages before our show, one stating that shows would no longer be archived on our Wordpress blog and the other notifying listeners of the email problem and giving out my davidlivingston.com addresses for use on today's program. I urge you to check the Special Announcement box on the new website homepage from time to time to make sure you don't miss anything. Also, read my introductory announcement about the blog changes. If at times I sounded distracted during today's show, I was. During the show, the IT people were working to fix the email address issue and they kept coming to me for more information. Also, I had Tom helping me with new website issues and comments from listeners. I do apologize for being distracted from time to time. I started today's discussion by offering my 2016 predictions which were mostly that for the new year, we would see the status quo for the industry. Later a few listeners reminded me of some planned events that I had omitted and I must confess, I was excited about some of them including the Bigelow BEAM experiment and learning about the Elon Musk plans for going to Mars. John from Freemont, CA was our first caller saying that he was looking forward to the "spectacular" Falcon Heavy launch. I questioned him as to why he used the word spectacular. This was a fun discussion that actually brought in other listeners to the topic later when they called the show. Doug called with a list of predictions for 2016 including events around the Dragon, the Mars plans by Mr. Musk, and more. He also mentioned the Juno mission to Jupiter, then expressed some concern about international partnerships government to government as he wanted to see international partnerships along the public/private model plus he wanted American commercial companies to lead the partnerships. As Doug is one of the participants in the Friday, Jan. 10 Great Cislunar Debate with John Strickland, I asked him for a preview of what he would promote in the debate. I read some listener emails that addressed the suborbital operators as did Doug in his call. Doug also talked about Russian rockets and the SpaceX Raptor engine. Rick, also from Freemont, emailed us that he thought the FH launch would be spectacular because of the large number of engines firing at one time. In the second segment, John from Redding, CA was our first caller. See Recent Shows @ www.thespaceshow.com for the rest of the summary.

Guest Host Francis Rose and I discussed Space Show listeners choices for the top space projects of 2015. We divided the topics into three categories, launch services, planetary missions, and human spaceflight. Note that this program also contains the Dr. Space blooper of 2015! Near the end of the segment, I remembered to give credit to the Japanese Space Agency for being able to save their Akatsuki satellite. First, I forgot the name but to make matters worse, I initially said it was rescued and now orbiting Mercury. I immediately changed it back to Venus but in a sentence conveying uncertainty. I tried to get in a later word to correct my blooper but Francis had the last word and ended the segment. I could have edited it out but then that would not have been very open and honest with all of you so there it is, my blooper of 2015, maybe of all time. No need to email to tell me its Venus, not Mercury. I knew it at the time but bad history was made anyway. For the rest of our Hotel Mars segment, I listed the projects most frequently mentioned by Space Show listeners in our multiple end of the year shows. Both Blue Origin and SpaceX got tops in the launch industry for recovering their rocket and first stage. Planetary missions included New Horizons, Dawn, Cassini and mentions of Kepler & Cassini. The twins study and setting the American astronaut record for most time in space by Astronaut Scott Kelly were it for human spaceflight. Please post your comments on TSS blog per above. You can email Mr. Rose or me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Tom Olson for his traditional annual year in review show, this time for the year 2015. During the first segment of our 1 hour 45 minute discussion, I asked Tom to start off with the worst space event for 2015 rather than the best. Interestingly, he said it was the fact that another year has gone by without our flying people to space, either orbital or suborbital. This opened up a discussion about disappointments in the suborbital industry other than for Blue Origin which got the best grade along with SpaceX for their landing their rocket back on the pad after making it to space. As for the best, Tom mentioned several "bests" during the show but started out with the new commercial space legislation recently signed into law, specifically the part about funding commercial crew and U.S citizens being able to extract resources from asteroids. He spoke about the launch industry in general saying this was a near record year with 87 total launches. He talked about the ISS extension to 2024, commercial projects on the station and he said it would be better to design a commercial station properly than to try and commercialize the ISS. Tom then mentioned several entrepreneurial companies worth noting and watching including Planet Labs, Spire, Made In Space, also Sierra Nevada with the continuation of its Dream Chaser space vehicle. Listener Robert asked if his views on space solar power had changed in 2015. Tom said no but listen to his explanation. I asked Tom for the top space leaders of 2015. He had trouble naming a few other than Bezos and Musk. He said there were no heroes. All of the space men and women were heroes. Jeff from Denver asked Tom if he changed his mind on SLS/Orion from previous years. Again, Tom said no but listen to his full explanation. Another listener asked him if he thought 2016 presidential politics would influence space policy. Again, he answered with a no. Ft. Worth John called to talk about artificial gravity experiments that were needed, Falcon 9 landing the 1st stage successfully, plus he asked when the Falcon Heavy would fly. In the second segment, Luis from Venezuela asked Tom about small scale laser beaming of power from powersats to landers and assets on the lunar surface. Next up was Dr. Lurio who put in a plug for Made In Space for a 2015 outstanding company award, then he talked about XCOR, responding to some of the recent management changes in the company plus the comments Tom was making about the company. Tom further addressed Made In Space and mentioned a 3D bioprinter. Here is the link to the story he mentioned about the bioprinter, http://medcitynews.com/2015/08/watch-out-organovo-biobots-launching-new-line-of-low-cost-3d-bioprinters.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. Welcome to our annual Open Lines Annual Year In Review program for 2015. As it turned out, we did the 2 hour 10 minute program without a break as calls kept coming and we kept going with the program. Before taking listener calls, I updated everyone on the new website's development. We started with listener calls with Jerry's call about seeing the Falcon 9 land the first stage from his porch in Merit Island, not far from the SpaceX launch and landing sites. He described both the launch and the landing for us from his perspective of being there, plus he talked about potential and future SpaceX rockets and launches. As it turned out, the overwhelming winner for the best 2015 space event was the SpaceX landing of its first stage back at the Cape. While there was lots of discussion about the future economics of the project, reusable economics and more, including the specifics of this flight that made it perfect for the landing demonstration, there was overwhelming support for SpaceX and reusability. Several listeners even called to talk about reusability with the Falcon Heavy, they described what they thought was the customer profile for reusability, we talked about risk vs. reward ratios, payload mass and possible pricing strategies for the "used" rocket launch and what the competition may do as a result of this excellent SpaceX success. As for planetary missions for 2015, hands down for New Horizons and Dawn going to Ceres. We had a few votes for Comet 67P and some mention of Kepler. Doug, during his call, mentioned that for 2016 there might not be much happening in planetary science but he did refer to the JUNO mission which makes it to Jupiter on July 4, 2016. John Hunt called and in addition to talking about reusability and SpaceX, we talked about the new movie Star Wars. That too was a popular topic for the show. John and I pointed out lots of similarities to the earlier Star Wars and what seemed to be technology that had not advanced much since the initial Star Wars movie. Another listener emailed in with the technological advances in the fighters and other systems in the new Star Wars movie so there was tech advancement though I don't think it was easy to spot. However, we did talk in general about reaching technology plateaus and a few callers brought that up. I cited a current article from an Australian financial publication suggesting Apple Computer had "run out of ideas" which supported what some of the listeners were asking about re space technology. Michael Listner called to talk about the RD180 engine and the Defense Authorization Act. We also talked about ULA CEO Tory Bruno being on The Space Show for Tuesday, Jan. 5th.

Please note that audio and transition issues are a result of copying the John Batchelor broadcast & are not within my control as they originate in the Batchelor studio. John Batchelor and I did a quick 2015 year in review. We both agreed that the latest Falcon 9 launch by SpaceX was a potential game changer with the success of their flyback booster landing upright at the Cape. We also talked about the rest of this particular SpaceX mission which was just as impressive. For planetary science, we selected several mission for our 2015 best including New Horizons, Dawn, Akatsuki which started orbiting Venus after being lost for five years, and the Japanese Hayabusa 1 and 2 missions,. We commented that we were disappointed in the suborbital industry progress other than for Blue Origin and their recent successful test flight with their rocket return to the pad. John liked the European Rosetta Mission for Comet 67P and specifically the Philae lander. We summarized our short discussion by wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, plus we look forward to 2016 being another exciting year for space.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Ken Murphy to discuss space current events, his coming articles and stories, and reasons for returning to the Moon and developing cislunar space. During the first segment of our 2 hour 2 minute discussion, Ken started out by telling us about his upcoming Jan. 4, 2016 Space Review article regarding the July 2016 Moon Day celebration in Dallas. He provided the logistical details for the event throughout our discussion, plus he described the event, the Lunar Sample Bags, the educational outreach, and their ham radio connection to the ISS via the ARISS Program. This discussion was followed by our talking about the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch and first stage recovery. Ken then talked about making significant changes in NASA to advance space development, especially getting younger employees at NASA with an average age in the 30's by getting rid of the older NASA employees. This comment caused John from Ft. Worth to call to remind Ken of anti-age discrimination laws, wondering just how Ken would get rid of the older people at NASA. We shifted our discussion to cislunar development and international lunar development efforts. We talked about the need for public private programs to do cislunar and lunar development. Betty emailed Ken to ask him if he thought all the lunar advocacy made a difference and helped the cause of our getting back to the Moon. Ken's response to Betty might surprise you so don't miss it. Before the break, we talked about education and the public's space educational level. You definitely want to hear what Ken said about the average person's space knowledge and teachers in our K-high school grades. Tell us what you think about Ken's education and teacher analysis and comments by posting your thoughts on TSS blog. In the second segment, we talked about going back to the Moon, then Ken brought up lunar dust issues, then in response to the typical Moon or Mars question, he said the Moon was our sand box made to order to train us for solar system exploration and even settlement. He also said while he is interested in Mars and space settlement, his near term focus was on cislunar development and returning to the Moon. During our program, he often referred to talks he has given to the general public so he talked at length about both space and STEM being a hook for getting young people interested in space and the STEM topics. He again mentioned that on Moon Day, they would be talking with the ISS crew via the ARISS program,. Preston from Chicago asked him if he had seen The Martian or the latest Star Wars movie. His response and what he said about the movies will have to be a surprise for you. Read the balance of the summary at www.thespaceshow.com.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back to the program Dr. Julie Robinson, Chief Scientist for the ISS. During the first segment of our 1 hour 25 minute program, I started the interview by asking our guest how research on the ISS benefits humanity. Dr. Robinson told us about a special NASA website on this subject, www.nasa.gov/stationbenefits.com. You can freely download the NASA report on these benefits and contributions, "The International Space Station Benefits For Humanity, 2nd edition," at https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/jsc_benefits_for_humanity_tagged_6-30-15.pdf. This website has terrific station information on it so I urge you to become familiar with it. Our guest said that since 2011, there have been significant R&D benefits. Dr. Robinson listed a few examples including the development and refining of ultra sound, drug work, mitigation strategies for Duchesne Muscular Dystrophy, protein crystal growth, the new discoveries regarding latent virus shredding, plus having tested the new drug, Prolia, for bone strengthening. Listener Jackie wanted to know more about expansion plans. Our guest mentioned the BEAM inflatable module experiment for the ISS in 2016 as one way to expand the ISS. Our guest was asked about the priority of experiments given ISS participants are international and governed by a multi-nation ISS agreement. Don't miss how projects are selected and financed. Helen sent in a note wanting to know how the ISS contributed to cleaning up global water supplies. Dr. Robinson replied by talking about the powerful ISS observational role and close coordination with UN agencies that do help to clean up water supplies. Environmental monitoring mentioned as well. Julie was asked about the possibility of ISS post 2024, the planned shut down date for the station. She said the station was designed to last 30 years with good safety margins built into the design. The actual shut down of the station will be made on a political and budgetary basis along with the station partners. I asked her about the possibility of privatizing the station as many Space Show guests and listeners have advocated or even said would happen down the road. Our guest said the station was not designed to operate cheaply. When it was designed and built, it was pushing the edge of technology, design, engineering, and life support. She suggested a private company would do much better developing a new station built upon what we have learned from many disciplines since the station was designed and built. Dr. Robinson had more to say on this subject so don't miss it. Todd asked her about the use of robots on the station taking over most of the duties now performed by astronauts.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Dr. Drago Bratasanu back to the show to talk about his global inspirational program, "The Pursuit Of Dreams" and his award winning and inspiring film, "The Amazing You." for more information and to download the film per our discussion, visit his website, www.drdragosb.com. During the first segment of our 1 hour 25 minute program, Dragos described his program and his target age groups. He explained why he left his aerospace job to undertake this program because he saw the need for inspiring young people to pursue their dreams and take risks to start their own business. Given his background in aerospace, using NASA and space professionals in his film to inspire and motivate was a natural for him. Since Dragos presents his program in various countries and the film is available in many languages, we talked about cultural differences, similarities, universal likes and dislikes. During this segment, he talked about some of the tools he used in his film and his presentation such as virtual reality. He took listener questions including one from a listener starting up a special type of cubesat company. Here, we talked about the usual business concerns including market timing, marketing, financial issues, government regulation, and management. Notice how Dragos integrated these issues into his presentation so that they become relevant in his program & to his film. In the second segment, Dragos talked more about his actual program, "The Pursuit of Dreams." We talked about his online course which you can access through his website. John from Ft. Worth called to discuss risk taking, motivation, inspiration and the population in general given what he referred to as challenges that are actually lowering the standard of living for people using the U.S. as an example. He suggested this makes it harder for people to start their own business. Don't miss how Dragos responded to John's comments. Dragos later pointed out that the path talked about in his film and his program involves hard work. Both Dragos and I used the music industry as an example given that so many famous artists spent years learning and being trained in classical music despite what they do in music today. Later, Dragos was asked if he had many opportunities to directly talk & work with teen agers. You might be surprised by what he said in response to this question. He was also asked if he had favorite countries or found cultural differences in response to his film and program or the use of NASA. One of the surprising things he said was that the US was probably the country with the least favorable response to NASA. Don't miss his concluding comments. Please post your questions/comments on TSS blog above. You can reach Drago through his website or me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 21 Dec 2015 18:12:10 UTC

We welcomed Victoria Samson, Beau Backus and David Hartshorn to this Secure World Foundation-Space Show webinar to address radio frequency interference issues facing the satellite user and operators, plus much more. In addition, both Beau and David have reference material relevant to our webinar and the issues we discussed uploaded on The Space Show blog for this program date. Make sure you see these uploads and make use of the information in the documents: (https://thespaceshow.wordpress.com/2015/12/17/swf-space-show-webinar-friday-12-18-15). In the first 60 minute segment, each of our guests provided us with a short introductory statement regarding radio frequency (RF) issues plus their background & experience in the RF industry and policy fields. This was followed by Ms. Samson offering us a comprehensive assessment of RFI issues as of the close of 2015 given the increasing democratization of access to space. Do not miss her analysis as to why the RF spectrum is a critical component of space activities. Our guests talked about the traditional players in this industry, then they explained how the "player" filed has been expanding as space access expands. We also talked about intentional and unintentional interference with our guests providing us with a good working definition for each interference category. Several examples of intentional and unintentional interference were given. One of the biggest intentional (jamming) interference events was rooted in the Arab Spring movement. This came up several times during our webinar. We also learned that the overwhelming percentage of interference events were unintentional by at least 90% of all interference events. We talked about what causes an unintentional event, the need for better equipment and training, plus both the U.S. and international regulatory environment for spectrum regulation, enforcement and consequence for violations. Examples were provided including the recent Bolivia World Cup television event. As for intentional interference, we talked about & defined jamming. We talked about possible solutions though nation's pursue their interests and as was evidenced in the Arab Spring movement, it was in the interest of some countries to jam radio signals from reaching desired groups of people and markets.

Francis Rose, guest hosting for John Batchelor, and I welcomed back Dr. Jeff Foust to discuss the return to flight for Orbital ATK and SpaceX. In our discussion, we talked about the Russian rocket engines and their use in the U.S, specifically the RC180 and the RD181. Jeff elaborated on Orbital ATK using the Atlas 5 for two launches before bringing the Antares back on line in the late spring 2016. Regarding SpaceX, Jeff said everyone was waiting for the scheduled static firing test which had not happened by air time, followed by the Falcon 9 launch on Saturday providing everything went well with the test. Francis also asked Jeff about what seemed to be very heavy ISS space traffic coming and going.
