John Batchelor and I welcomed back Dr. Curt Niebur, NASAs program scientist for Cassini, to update us on the close flyby of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. The flyby was 30 miles above the moon's surface and took place approximately 10AM PDT Oct. 28, 2015. Cassini flew through the south pole plumes or seafloor vents of expelled water given that it is believed that Enceladus has an under the ice ocean. The flyby will be able to tell the nature and content of ocean plus much more, including the possible detection of organics. Dr. Niebur also described the north pole area since it was viewed for the first time in recent weeks, revealing a very cracked and crevice filled area. Our guest was asked about the Cassini instruments used to gather the information as it flew through the plumes and we learned that two instruments had to be recalculated to do this mission. Another topic briefly discussed was the use of nuclear power for this mission and why solar power would not have worked. Don't miss what our guest had to say about this and more regarding Cassini and this strange moon of Saturn. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. You can email Mr. Batchelor or Dr. Niebur through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

During the first segment of our 88 minute show, Blaze introduced us to the SpaceVR company, their 2D technology, their goals including wanting people to become astronauts, plus STEM outreach and education. Blaze spent a good part of the first segment talking about their technology, why they use 2D instead of 3D, the side effects which suggest more usage of 2D, the viewing headsets they work with plus their subscription fee and costs. He also talked about their recent successful Kickstarter venture and mentioned that several of their perks were still available and will be for a few more weeks. If you are interested go to their Kickstarter site, www.kickstarter.com/projects/1035872323/spacevr-step-into-space?ref=project_link. Another topic that we discussed was the use of audio on their VR films plus some of the details about their special camera they have made to do the filming. In the second segment, we talked about SpaceVR stem outreach. We talked about their visits to high school students, the student interest in the space virtual reality imaging and in space as well. Later, I asked Blaze questions about black and white VR imaging, then as a result of several listener questions, Blaze said they were considering licensing their products for video games, movies, and other uses by other companies. Near the end of the program, I asked Blaze if he had always been interested in space. He told us about his early grade school interest in wanting to be an astronaut so he has been a space cadet all his life. In fact, he would consider doing a one way Mars trip to live on Mars at some point in the future. Other topics came up as the program was ending including geographic regions for their imaging, menu choices, age levels suitable for VR and more. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. Blaze can be reached at the email address he gave out on air or through me.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Charlie Chafer back to the program to discuss commercial space, the Celestis space memorial services and flights, plus much more. During the first segment of our 88 minute program, Charlie started out by providing an overview of the commercial space history since he played a huge role in its start decades ago. For example, he talked about the fist ever commercial launch that was done by his company, the regulatory and permit process back then, and how the industry has evolved since those early days. It’s a most interesting discussion with one of the major founders of the commercial space industry. We then changed topic to talk about the space memorial services and how this industry has changed since 1994 when Charlie co-founded Celestis. As for today, Celestis has a global customer space offering several categories of space memorial services, all of which are described on the Celestis website, www.celestis.com. There launches are far more routine today with more launch vehicle availability. Regarding the lunar service, he talked about sending Eugene Shoemaker's remains to the Moon, then later in the second segment, he talked about the commercial space significance of having done this. Celestis offers four services including Earth Rise which is suborbital, an orbital service known as Earth Orbit or Earth view, the Lunar Service, and the Voyager Service which is a deep space mission. He described each service but also he talked at length as to how Celestis carries out a memorial spaceflight starting with advance work before the launch, tours of the launch pad, a special Celestial memorial service, and the launch. Listeners asked Charlie several questions about the service including listener Judy who had seen rocket launches before and wondered how those attending a memorial service launch viewed watching a rocket launch. Before the segment ended, Charlie was asked about pet memorial services. Celestis offers the Celestis Pets Memorial service. Check out www.celestispets.com for more information on this service. In the second segment, we focused on commercial space, customers, markets, commercial waves and more. Our guest pointed out some thoughts that might suggest a possible commercial space "bubble" ahead. He also talked about & described the three waves of commercial space history. Charlie talked about his interest in opening up commercial markets in the space weather field and we talked about the value of data as a product. Regarding SSP which he mentioned, he said it has not developed but may do so down the road in the future. The same for pharmaceuticals and other energy related possibilities.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Dr. John Jurist to present his popular talk, "The Space Program of the 1960s." I have uploaded to The Space Show blog his Power Point presentation that he uses with this talk so be sure to visit it. He refers to many of the Power Point slides during this two hour Space Show program, especially slides featuring historical pictures. The specific URL for this program on our blog is https://thespaceshow.wordpress.com/2015/10/24/dr-john-jurist-sunday-10-25-15. During the first segment of our two hour program, Dr. Jurist discussed the origins of our space program going back to the 1920s with Robert Goddard and his rockets, and even earlier to Tsiolkovsky with the rocket equation. John then advanced the story through WW2, V2 rockets, the development of the hydrogen bomb, the creation of the NSF, then on to Sputnik and the eventual launch the first American satellite. During this overview, Dr. Jurist received many listener questions as well as questions from me so this is quite the comprehensive discussion. John also pointed out the interest in space from the public which drove media coverage. He referenced Walt Disney, von Braun's popular work, sci fi films, & Colliers Magazine articles. He mentioned several stand out events such as JFK's Rice University speech, the Apollo 1 fire and then Apollo 7 which contained thousands of human spaceflight safety advancements and improvements and the testing of many of those advancements with the Apollo 7 flight. A listener asked about nuclear propulsion and NERVA. This resulted in a phone call from Dr. Dewar who continued the discussion with nuclear propulsion but advanced it to include the development cryogenic systems to support the H bomb and then these systems making their way to NASA. John and Jim had much to say about the H bomb and space development connections so don't miss this discussion. By the way, Dr. Dewar is returning to The Space Show on Dec. 6. John talked about the biomedical advancements in aviation that contributed to safer HSF. Here, he mentioned the work by Dr. John Paul Stapp and others, especially out of Holloman AFB in New Mexico. Don't miss this discussion or the relevant PPT slides. In the second segment, John from Ft. Worth called to continue the discussion about the H-bomb and space connections, huge airplanes to deliver the large bombs and the later development of compact warheads which lead to the use of smaller missiles. They also compared these advancements to the Soviet Union program of the day as the soviets used a different system for the bomb which resulted in it being smaller than the initial American weapons. The two John's continued talking about cryogenic development. Dr. Jurist then advanced the discussion to the economic benefits - Read the rest of the summary @ www.thespaceshow.com.

Dr. Paul Sutter, Friday, 10-23-15 (48.94MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Paul Sutter. Topics: Science, The Big Bang Theory, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and astrophysics. Please direct all comments and questions regarding Space Show programs/guest(s) to the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments and questions should be relevant to the specific Space Show program. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are a violation of our copyright and are not permitted without prior written consent, even if for your own use.

For those listening to archives using live365.com and rating the programs, please email me as to why you assign a specific rating to the show. This will help me bring better programming to the audience. During the first segment of our 97 minute program, Dr. Sutter opened up with a detailed discussion of the big bang theory and the physics and science to go along with it and support it with scientific evidence. Almost the entire first segment was devoted to this comprehensive discussion. We talked about proof, theories, truth, alternative ideas and scientific evidence including the cosmological microwave background light which is the oldest light in the universe. Paul described this in detail, explained that it was really microwave radiation and how it supported an expanding universe. Rather than summarizing this segment in detail, I urge you to listen to this show because it is one of the best ever Space Show science shows and discussions. In my opinion, Dr. Sutter is gifted in his ability to explain complex scientific theories and concepts in ways that those of us who are not scientists can grasp and understand facts, scientific evidence, and theories. In addition to the science, several listener questions came up along with mine about the meaning of certain words in use by the general public as compared to a scientist. This was a very illuminating discussion and I think you will agree when you hear how theory, fact, truth, plus other words are used in science and what they mean to a scientist as compared to how we use the same words in our daily vocabulary and word use. BJohn asked questions about star formation and John from Ft. Worth called and added to our scientific discussion given his physics expertise and knowledge. I personally want to thank him for his two calls which advanced the quality of our discussion, especially about an open and closed universe. Then our guest added a third possibility, a flat universe. Don't miss this part of our program. In our second segment, we talked in more detail about Dark Matter. This too was an example of the clarity given the topics by our guest so listen carefully and enjoy and appreciate how something so complex can be made so easy for us to grasp and understand. Later in the segment, a listener asked about the impact a TV show like The Big Bang Theory might have on people given the way it portrays "scientists." As this was one of my favorite TV shows, I entered the conversation and had a different set of thoughts about its impact than did our guest. Listen to hear what we both had to say about it. As I said on the show, in the 2,571 programs I have done to date, plus with all the scientists and engineers that I have met in person at conferences and elsewhere, I have yet to meet a real scientist or engineer that even comes close to being in real life the way the four Big Bang TV Show guys are with their personalities and science.

We welcomed our two guests, Steve Wolfe and Steven Gonzalez for an in-depth discussion on the upcoming Space Commerce Conference & Exposition which will be in Houston November 17-19, 2015. For more information, visit the conference website at www.spacecomexpo.com. During the first segment, Steve Wolfe described SpaceCom as this is an unusual type of conference or space event. Both Steve and Steven spent the majority of the first segment explaining just how unique and different this event is given it is a business to business out reach effort with five industries including medical, manufacturing, energy, communications, and transportation. The outreach is focused on showing these industries that there are new commercial opportunities coming out of today's space industry, especially through the use of ISS commercial opportunities. Check out the event agenda at www.spacecomexpo.com/Content/At-a-Glance-Agenda/13_78 as this illustrates just how unique this event is. Also on their website, you can find information relating to who should attend this event (www.spacecomexpo.com/Content/Who-Should-Attend/5_36 plus all essential event and hotel registration information. That said, our two guests discussed the event and its three days of programming in detail as each day of the conference offers a different structure and program. Listener questions were focused on the conference agenda and structure, plus there were several questions about space advocates attending the event, networking, the Exposition Hall and how that has been set up to facilitate networking opportunities, and more. In the second segment, I asked about live streaming the conference or segments of it. For this year, the event will not be live streamed but there may be some segments posted on the website at a later date, especially the reports coming out of the second day workshop groups. In addition, we learned that the conference has a focus on STEAM/STEM, a topic we discussed at length during this segment. Later, a listener asked what their outcome expectations were for the event. This provided us with an interesting discussion with outcome and innovation evaluative mechanisms. Listeners asked specific questions about the launch industry, NewSpace entrepreneurial startups, and possible private space stations since the life of the ISS may be limited. Our guests told us the theme for this year's event was "LEO and BELW." Make sure you hear this part of our discussion. Near the end of the segment, Brandy wanted to know about changing commercial and NewSpace industry trends. Both guests offered us closing comments and unique take aways for this event.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Ben Haldeman of Planet Labs to the show. During the first segment of our 87 minute show, Ben introduced us to Planet Labs, told us about the company history, goals, and Dove satellite imaging program wherein they want to image the entire Earth every day. You can find out more about this at their website, www.planet.com. Ben described the size and nature of their satellite fleet, how they can cover the entire planet once a day, their agnostic launch policy, and their cubesat manufacturing process for their 10cm x10cm x by30cm finished product. He explained the company's iterative approach, the company employee growth, and their recent payload losses on the Antares and the Falcon 9. We talked at length about the ISS process of getting the Dove satellites, launching them from the ISS, and the astronaut training needed to carry out the Planet Labs mission. Also discussed was the orbital decay profile for their satellites at the end of their life, altitudes for their Dove satellites, and plans to use the preferred sun synchronous orbit given the ISS may have a limited remaining life expectancy. Ground stations were described as was the satellite pointing process. Listeners asked many email questions including the use of off the shelf GPS and the range of optical spectrum/wavelengths for the cameras/sensors being able to detect images. Listeners also wanted to know if Planet Labs had plans to make satellites via 3D printing and if any radiation hardening was being used with their onboard electronics. In the shorter second segment, we talked about Planet Labs hiring and their internship program. The company mostly hires engineers but about 25% of their hires are from different disciplines. They also hire a person a day so if you are interested, be sure to check it out. They are located in a truly exciting and creative part of San Francisco, known as SOMA (South of Market) and this is the area to be in if you like technology, want to be on the leading edge of the cutting edge, and be surrounded by peers that redefine the meaning of the word. You can find out more about their hiring and intern program by checking their website. Adrian asked another question about solar sails and CCD cameras. I asked Ben the question Debra was asked by a Mom on the Friday show regarding her child studying engineering but preferring Apple Computer for example over a space company. I asked Ben to respond to that Mom's question. Don't miss what he had to say about it as our discussion involved Silicon Valley, being located in the San Francisco Bay Area which is a highly evolved tech market place, including the Bay Area universities, and more.

Jay Wittner, Ron Jones, Sunday, 10-18-15 (51.39MB; download) -- Guests: Jay Wittner, Ron Jones. Topics: The Integrated Space Plan which is a real and detailed timeline of our future in space for the next 100 years.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed both Jay Wittner and Ron Jones to the program to discuss the Integrated Space Plan (ISP), "a real and detailed timeline of our future in space for the next 100 years. Vehicles, Stations, Settlements, Moon, Mars, Asteroids." You can see the ISP at https://integratedspaceanalytics.com/cms/plan and also their previously successful Kickstarter site, www.kickstarter.com/projects/486671231/integrated-space-plan-envisioning-humanitys-future. Wired Magazine did an excellent article on the plan which you can download and read at www.wired.com/2015/08/wildly-detailed-100-year-plan-getting-humans-mars.. Discovery also did a nice article on the ISP dated Oct. 16, 2015 which you can read and download @ http://news.discovery.com/space/private-spaceflight/isp-the-ultimate-plan-to-launch-humanity-to-the-stars-151016.htm. During the first segment, Ron provided us with the history of the ISP which goes back several decades. He explained its purpose and how it has changed and evolved over time. In fact, later in the show I asked our guests if the time had finally come for the ISP to come into its own given the developments and progress in space development. You will certainly want to hear this discussion which comes much later in the show. The first segment is mostly devoted to describing the ISP and responding to basic listener questions about it as it was new to most listeners. I also urge you to look at it on the web using the above links so you can be come familiar with the plan and its blocks. Remember, it is a broad enabling approach that includes many different paths to accomplish space development, exploration and a spacefaring economy/society. It is not about a specific program or project as we are used to discussing on The Space Show. Specific plans and projects can nicely fit in the appropriate blocks on the ISP as the ISP is a collection of logical and plausible multiple paths to space development without saying this or that specific plan is THE plan we must follow. Toward the end of the first segment, John in Freemont, CA asked about the Shackleton Energy plan as was recently discussed on The Space Show. This was a good example for our guests to show how the ISP could nicely accommodate the Shackleton plan but that the ISP was actually much broader and more inclusive than just the three part Shackleton plan discussed on The Space Show. As you will hear, there is no conflict between the two. In the second segment, Jay was asked how people could get a poster copy of the ISP. Jay and Ron told listeners how to order a poster copy (the rolled version in a tube is the best way to get it).

We started out getting an historical overview of Ball Aerospace, including our learning about some of their new projects with S. Korea and new technologies. We did a 135 year overview in just a few minutes. The company really does have a fascinating and most interesting history, including the Ball jars dating back to the 1880s when the company started. The aerospace part of their history dates back 60 years. Debra did a good job in summarizing their aerospace history, including moving forward with NewSpace, non profits, cubesats and more. Listeners asked our guest many email questions including her view of the trends in the space industry, especially among the entrepreneurial segment. Other topics discussed included disruptive markets and technology, the launch industry, SpaceX, ULA & others, plus the need for viable, productive space markets. One market she talked about that was in demand was the market for space data. Debra had much to say on this subject so don't miss it. Debra was asked about human spaceflight which she classified as exploration, discovery, and human nature. Listener Jack asked Debra about space projects based on the "coolness factor" rather than commercial or national security value. This proved a very interesting conversation so again, I urge you not to miss it. Another listener asked about trends toward public only projects, public/private projects, and international cooperative space projects. Near the end of the show, we had a few listener questions about kids studying engineering but preferring something like an Apple employment to NASA or the space industry because space projects take so long and are often cancelled. Debra had much to say about this subject plus the potential of space to impact so many other fields. This prompted an email from a listener who drives part time for Uber. She pointed out how it was disruptive and based on space technology. This too was a most interesting discussion that I am sure you will appreciate. In conclusion, Debra paid her respects to the late George Mueller who recently passed away. George was a great influence on her life , her career, and the space industry as far back as Apollo.
