We welcomed back Dr. Pat Patterson to discuss the upcoming SmallSat Conference to be held at Utah State University in Logan, Utah from August 2-7, 2014. During our one hour one segment discussion with Pat, we went over all aspects of the conference including the networking, social, and cultural aspects associated with the conference and Logan, UT. Visit the conference website and follow along with us (www.smallsat.org). The theme for the 2014 SmallSat Conference is "Commerce of Small Satellites." In keeping with this theme, Steve Jurvetson of Draper, Fisher Jurvetson will be the key speaker. Those of you familiar with NewSpace conferences over the years will be familiar with Mr. Jurvetson as he has been a big part of the Business Plan Competition and the conferences. Read about him & his space activities at http://smallsat.org/technical-program/keynote. Pat spoke about conference details, registration, and logistical issues throughout our discussion so pay attention if you are attending, especially to the hotel situation and options. We learned that Orbital is back to throwing one of the parties this year after a recess from their famous party. Other parties are hosted by ATK and SpaceX. The exhibit hall has been expanded and will now cover two floors. Also, an outdoor "lounge" area has been created for more room and networking options. I asked if the presented papers were peer reviewed. Dr. Patterson explained their review process so if you are interested in submitting a paper for future years, take note of it. About a third of the papers submitted are selected for the conference. Networking is exceptional at SmallSat. In addition the social activities including the Space Dynamics Lab hosted party Monday night, the other parties including the Moog sponsored program Wednesday night are all excellent networking venues as are the lunches and the food networking breaks throughout the day. We got questions about the student programs, presentations, exhibits and their scholarships. We spoke about newcomers to the exhibit hall and SmallSat, plus family activities for spouses, etc. in and around Logan. There are also side meetings which you can read about & attend so see http://smallsat.org/conference/side-meetings. The 11th Cubesat Workshop is also being held again this year on Saturday/Sunday. See http://smallsat.org/technical-program/workshop. For conference questions, see http://smallsat.org/contact. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog above.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back long time NBC space news reporter Jay Barbree to the show to discuss his new book, "Neil Armstrong: A Life of Flight. Our program made use of the 60 minute format and one segment. We welcomed Jay to the show but as you will hear, there was a technical glitch as we started so you will hear the program being restarted. No program time was lost. Jay started by sharing with us the timeline he worked on for this book which spanned several decades. He also set the stage by detailing his special relationship with Armstrong that made it possible for him to write this type of book. He started Chapter 1 with the story of Neil ejecting from his fighter jet during the Korean War. As you will hear, Neil was one of the early pilots ejecting from a jet fighter. He flew into an anti-aircraft wire stretched between two mountains and it removed part of his plane. He was unable to make it back to the Essex but he did manage to keep the plane in flight and when he ejected, he was over a Marine base. Jay talked extensively about Neil seeing himself as a research test pilot and he referenced the old NACA plus his efforts that eventually paid off to get a test pilot assignment at Edwards AFB to fly at Dryden which has since been renamed after Neil Armstrong. Jay talked about one X-15 flight where he overshot the landing. The flight being described, the Pasadena Over flight, demonstrated Neil's skills and expertise as a test pilot. Jay talked about how Neil always wanted to go to space, plus his teaching career later in life. A listener asked Jay about Neil and the Apollo 11 crew. Jay had much to say on this subject, & why the specific Apollo 11 crew members were selected by Neil and Deke Slayton. He also talked about the facts of Neil being the first to walk on the Moon, the conspiracy theory about their not being photos of Neil on the Moon because Buzz would not take any and much more. Another listener wanted to know why Neil became far more public after the Columbia accident. In his response to this question, Jay talked about Neil not liking the press and wanting to keep his privacy. In the book, Jay Barbree referred to Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin as the misfits. Don't miss this great discussion. Later, another listener wanted to know about Neil's objections to cancelling the Constellation Return to The Moon program. Jay went into some detail on this subject, including commenting on commercial space, SpaceX and more.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. Welcome to our Open Lines program. The first segment of our 131 minute program opened with a technical glitch so you will hear some announcement repeats, etc. We had a damaged wire connection that I did not pick up on until I got several email complaints. I did start the program over again but you can tell we had a glitch listening to the opening of this program. Prior to taking calls, I put out some suggested talking points including the recent Chinese ASAT test, the NewSpace 2014 conference, the Asteroids Act 2014, and the recently dismissed ULA petition to the SpaceX-Air Force litigation. I also went over the upcoming Space Show schedule. Our first caller was Doug from Australia who wanted to talk about his app for the iPhone and iPad, Leo-Low Earth Orbit. Search for that title in the App store. You can find out more about his app, orbital dynamics and the uses for this app at http://leo-lowearthorbit.com. For those of you wanting to try out the app but using a different platform for your smartphone, email Doug for assistance. You can reach him through his website plus he gave out his email address on air. Marshall called in to talk about the need to take on more risks for human spaceflight. He also talked about the RD-180 rocket motor. John from Ft. Worth called in to give us his theory of ducking jury duty since I mentioned I had jury duty the end of the week and had to cancel the Friday show because of it. When he got around to space, he wanted to know if the Aquarius paper had been uploaded to the SEI website per a recent Space Show discussion. You can find the paper at http://www.spaceenterpriseinstitute.org/downloads. As the segment ended, we started talking about artificial gravity and asking about the gravity RX needed for HSF plus other related issues. In the second segment, I read an email from B John in Sweden who believes he has the answers to the human factors challenges and criticizes both space doctors and me for not recognizing his solutions and what he has said on a past show regarding known 17th century solutions for the human factors challenges. I read his email in full, then promised him a guest appearance on The Space Show providing he bring credentials, facts, science, medicine, numbers, etc. to his discussion. I said he could not do a Space Show program on this topic with only his hunch, his ideas, unfounded theories, ideology, & religion. He needs to come to the debate with facts. You can hear more on this subject by listening to my reading of his emails on the July 22 program with Dr. Mark Shelhamer.

Dr. Mark Shelhamer, Tuesday, 7-22-14 (87.38MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Mark Shelhamer. Topics: A look at the risks associated with long duration human spaceflight. 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.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Dr. Mark Shelhamer, Chief Scientist of the NASA Human Research Program to the show to discuss the critical risks associated with BLEO long duration HSP. You can hear his FISO talk on this topic from April 2, 2014 at http://spirit.as.utexas.edu/~fiso/telecon/Shelhamer_4-2-14/Shelhamer.mp3. His associated Power Point can be downloaded at http://spirit.as.utexas.edu/~fiso/telecon/Shelhamer_4-2-14/Shelhamer_4-2-14.ppt. During the first segment of our 95 minute discussion, Dr. Shelhamer started off saying we would be talking about beyond low earth orbit only and that many of the risks are unknown since we have very little experience with BLEO. Much of what we do know is extrapolated from our current knowledge base plus our Apollo experience. Next, our guest defined three major areas/issues. First he listed medical issues which he later described as onsite medical treatments for various complications, illnesses, surgical needs and such. He classified physical deconditioning issues such as muscle and bone loss issues, cardio vascular issues in a different category. The second group he identified had to do with radiation, and the third group included psychological-social issues. I asked about Microgravity not being in the top three and he said because those issues are likely a constant for both LEO and BLEO missions. He then talked at length about the challenges needing countermeasures/mitigation. He did not say these were showstopper challenges but they do require effective countermeasures. For example, he said humans could probably survive a trip to Mars today providing the hardware & life support was up to the job but their goal is to get the crew there in good condition, to be able to do effective work, and to return safely. He did not think those goals could be obtained today. I asked if money was a primary issue and it was not though he said more money is always helpful. He talked about the time needed for some human studies, team studies, and research, sometimes extending even longer than a year. He then took us through the three categories to tell us what NASA was doing & how it was doing in that research area. You might be surprised by what you hear. I certainly was. Later, we talked about ocular/vision issues which are now getting front page attention. He explained the latest theory causing the problem as possible fluid shifts. Listen to this discussion. Note that once we start with BLEO HSF, we may find other problems that do not now show up now. Also, we may develop a countermeasure for one problem but that opens the door to lots of other problems currently unknown.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Erik Seedhouse to the program to discuss the new Second Edition of "Tourists In Space: A Practical Guide." In our first segment of our 1 hour 26 minute show, Erik told us that the second edition was about 80% new and that it would be released the end of August. If you buy the book on Amazon, you can order it at the special pre-release price. Also, be sure to use the OGLF portal explained in the archive summary statement, on the blog and on both TSS & OGLF websites. If you purchase it using the OGLF portal, Amazon makes a contribution to The Space Show. Erik opened with the manual part of the book and mentioned his suborbital training company, Suborbital Training located in Melbourne, Florida. For more information on suborbital training, visit www.suborbitaltraining.com. Next, Erik talked about the flight profiles for both the XCOR Lynx and the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo. I asked Erik for the top 3 or 4 challenges to the industry and he cited space safety as the largest challenge to overcome. Other top challenges included the spaceship noise which will be very loud, vibrations, acceleration, and space motion sickness. He talked about the impact mostly on the cardiac system. Erik was asked about the use of spacesuits with by the various companies. We also discussed orbital space tourism using the Dragon and then later using the Dream Chaser. Erik was asked if spaceflight participant medical exams would be done by special doctors or one's own doctor even if the doctor has no aerospace expertise or experience. Before the break & in response to a question, Erik pointed out that the industry was on hold given the all the earlier "cry wolf" announcements about starting revenue flights. In the second segment, Erik talked about going to space at the designated and approved altitude by the FAI in France, the official international record and standards keeping organization for space issues. He pointed out that 50 miles was not space. We talked some about the World View project, then our topic switched to spaceports here in the U.S. as well as those planned for outside the country. Erik raised some red flags given the spaceships are under ITAR control which might make it very difficult for them to be operated in a foreign country under present ITAR rules/regulations. Orbital tourism came up for Dream Chaser, Dragon V2 and the Bigelow Aerospace habs. In speaking about the industry, our guest pointed out how SpaceX was changing spaceflight by their success. The Brownsville, TX proposed SpaceX spaceport got lots of discussion time and email questions. The rest of this summary is available at www.thespaceshow.com & http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Rand Simberg and Bill Simon, co-authors of Evoloterra which commemorated when we first left planet Earth and landed on another planet. To follow along with us with the ceremony, visit www.evoloterra.com. During the first segment of our 1 hour 51 minute program, Rand and Bill explained the significance of the July 20, 1969 date and their Evoloterra ceremony. Rand also said that our earlier Moon program was a dead end path and that we will not be going back to the Moon the way we did Apollo. This comment provided an overriding theme throughout the program as Rand explained why large unaffordable rockets were not the way to do things when we could do smaller rockets, use fuel depots, and make space more affordable. Bill explained the July 20th significance saying it was the turning point when humans were no longer bound by Earth. Rand and Bill read the Evoloterra introduction which is a passage from an Arthur C. Clarke novel. Bill also pointed out the significance of going to the Moon in peace and that the U.S. made no effort to nationalize or conquer the Moon. Rand and Bill then took us back to the affordable and scalable space program needs and said that our current program was neither affordable or scalable. I asked them both for lessons learned and I bet you won't be surprised by the answer I got. Rand cited SpaceX many times during the program, especially as a model for affordable space and for having a vision. In response to listener questions, Rand said cost was a nonsense issue. Don't miss why he said this multiple times during our program. Near the end of the segment, our guests talked about the myth of Apollo, space leadership issues, and Rand's frequent statement that nobody cares about space which he then demonstrates by the space policies now in play. In Part 2, Rand talked about his USA Today article, "Apollo Program A Flameout At 40" (http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2014/07/18/apollo-nasa-anniversary-moon-column/12734813). Rand also mentioned Part 3 of the Brian Berger series on space in the Houston Chronicle (www.houstonchronicle.com/nasa/adrift/3). During this segment, we talked more about the Evoloterra ceremony, how it was modeled on the Seder, & the importance of ritual in helping people remember historical and important events. Later, space property rights came up for discussion, then our guests each gave us closing comments. Rand's summary was that there was a better way than the big rocket. Bill Said Apollo 11 was a water shed event. Post comments/questions on TSS blog. You can contact Rand or Bill through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 22 Jul 2014 01:04:06 UTC

During the first segment of our 1 hour 37 minute discussion, Dr. Armstrong provided us with a bit of her personal history and background leading up to her interest in space and living architectures. As you will hear, her medical experience and perspectives were critical to her connecting the body in a relationship with technology. As our guest began introducing us to Project Persephone, Dr. Armstrong talked about the need to move from an industrial type society and economy to an ecological based system which she fully described throughout both segments of our discussion. She talked about new ways of understanding and working with matter and microbes leading to new world views, new types of structures, and to space habitats that will evolve based on the needs of the crew. During our discussion, Dr. Armstrong mentioned many of the leaders in applicable and related fields, their projects, and their papers so I suggest you have pen & paper handy to jot them down for your own research benefits. Dr. Armstrong, in talking about living architectures, made the point many times over that we should start thinking in broader ways about the materials we use. Don't miss her explanation & discussion of this & other important concepts. I also suggest you read "Designing a Sustainable Interstellar Worldship" written by our guest (http://news.discovery.com/space/private-spaceflight/project-persephone-icarus-interstellar-100yss-120920.htm). We talked about today's closed and open loop life support systems and how the future will be built upon the shoulders of today's engineers and designers. Dr. Armstrong introduced us to non-human matter in this segment, but we continued talking about it in our last segment as well. Complexity was discussed, then listener Jack asked by email for our guest to describe the future starship with an evolvable environment. In our second segment, B John asked if we should skip HSF to the Moon and Mars as distractions, instead focusing on habitable orbiting space stations and growing them into world ships. Don't miss her answer. Rachel talked at length in both segments about the manifesto and its purpose and place in ecological starship design. Our guest also pointed out potential conflicts with solar system exploration and the Outer Space Treaty. Heather asked Rachel if she would produce a reading and reference list given all the citations and references she offered us in our discussion. While that might be forthcoming, do visit Rachel's related website, www.blackskythinking.org. Read the complete summary at www.thespaceshow.com or http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com.

We welcomed back Anatoly Zak to discuss the new Russian launch vehicle that was successfully tested a few days ago. The new Russian rocket, the Angara, is a modular launch system that will eventually have GEO launch capabilities as well as human spaceflight capabilities. It will be replacing the Proton rocket and eventually other launchers used by Russia. The successful test launch was suborbital but the next test launch by the end of the year should be orbital. Anatoly talked about the slow move away from using the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Anatoly explained the 20 year period it took to test and fly the rocket. The main problem was the lack of funding over this time. He also talked about the plans to eventually test the Angara HSF version of the rocket. I asked Anatoly about the RD-191 rocket motor which will be used on all version of Angara. John used a good metaphor for the modular Angara launcher system in comparing it to a Swiss Army knife. Please post any comments/questions you might have on The Space Show blog. You can contact any of us through drspace@thespaceshow.com.

For full conference information including registration and hotel information, visit http://www.aiaa-space.org. During our one segment 64 minute program, our guests took us through important details, features, and benefits of this conference, plus conference registration and hotel information. There are changes in this year's conference as compared to earlier AIAA Space conference so listen carefully as we covered most of them in our discussion and with listener email questions. Our guests pointed out that the theme for this year's Space conference is "Connecting, Protecting, and Enhancing a Global Society." From there, we went through plenary speakers and sessions, speaker panels, and selective tracks, all of which have been organized to support the conference theme. You can follow along with our keynote, speaker panels, and tracks from the website. To do so, use the Table of Contents options in the Explore Space Forum 2014 section at the top of the conference home page. Some of the listener questions included asking for an explanation of the AIAA conference peer review process for submitting and getting papers approved, the networking reception and opportunities, the Exhibit Hall, this year's Pickering Lecture and the AIAA rule "no paper no podium." Questions were asked about topics other than technical and engineering. Our guests pointed out the policy and legal track which addresses these issues. We also talked about tracks focusing on entrepreneurism, Earth monitoring, global security, NewSpace and much more. Our guests explained how this conference represents the new trend with AIAA as several other conferences have been merged with this one. One item to note is that the conference hotel block rooms are sold out so if you are attending, you will need to select from nearby hotels within the area of the San Diego Convention Center.

We welcomed back Ken Murphy for a wide ranging discussion on multiple space topics including cislunar films, space economics & due diligence, capital acquisition, Boy Scouts & more. In the first segment of our 1 hour 29 minute program, Ken talked about Cislunar Cinema which he also wrote for The Space Review (see www.thespacereview.com/article/2518/1. We went through several of the films in his article but also others. We talked about foreign films, Hollywood focusing on special effects, and movie trends. He suggested several films for us to find and view. Next, we talked about the Boy Scouts Space Exploration Merit Badge (see http://thespacereview.com/article/2552/1. Later, we talked about commercial space. Ken pointed out there is still a serious lack of adequate capital for the emerging industry. He mentioned the need for something like crowd source equity funding and he talked about supportive legislation such as the Jobs Act though the rules are not yet in place. We talked about recent successes such as Skybox, Google, etc. Our guest had interesting comments about these events. He then told us stories where people told him NASA and HSF was being disassembled. Listen to what he had to say about general population views. In the second segment, we talked about the Dallas Moon Day which takes place at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field this Saturday, 10-5 PM. He talked about STEM outreach, the kids getting space gift bags, the events, lectures, etc. Ken got a listener question about the Google Lunar XPrize on which he had much to say. Ken was then asked about various lunar commercial projects. We talked due diligence for space projects including financial and market analysis plus assumption making.. This brought our guest to talk about general economic trends in the country and he said we were "still in a looting mode." After an interesting economic discussion, we turned our attention to the Moon Society (www.themoonsociety.org). I asked Ken about the NRC Pathways HSF study with the goal of Mars. Ken explained the Moon first position and said the real goal should be to explore the solar system, not just go to Mars. Before closing, Ken told us about EML1, the Earth-Moon Lagrange 1. For more information here, visit www.thespacereview.com/article/2033/1. As we were closing, Ken had important comments to say about STEM and told us about his work on the Solar System Cinema.
