This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Greg Cecil back to the program for this 1 hour 37 minute discussion. During our first segment, Greg summarized his space shuttle experience when working on the thermal protection system at KSC, talked about keeping in touch with former shuttle employees and letting us know that in his opinion, shuttle was retired too early. After the shuttle program was closed down, Greg began consulting and teaching science to middle school students. He talked about the difference in a public inner city school as compared to teaching in a private school. His observations are important, especially about parent involvement & support in the student's education. Greg devised space related projects for the students & created scientific experiments to fly with the J.P. Aerospace high altitude balloon flights. Greg described some of the experiments and the benefits in working with John Powell of J.P. Aerospace. We talked about the impact of the flights and making the payloads. I asked if the impact will remain with them as they go through school, possibly in selecting a space or science education and career. Greg also attended the recent Explore Mars Humans2Mars Conference and here he offered us many valuable observations. Listen to what he had to say about NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden's talk, then later the talk given by NewSpace advocate and co-founder of the Space Frontier Foundation, Rick Tumlinson. The differences between the two talks and approaches led to Greg's conversion to being a NewSpace proponent. Greg talked about SpaceX and suggested it was risky for any one company to be the face of NewSpace, either intentionally or by chance. In the second segment, Greg talked about the movie, "I want To Be An Astronaut." Doug emailed in a comment based on our first segment discussion given Greg's comment about NASA budgets being tight & being a show stopper for grandiose HSF missions such as those to Mars & as reported in the NRC Pathways HSF study. Greg responded to Doug, then I let got with one of my infamous rants directed not just at Doug but we space enthusiasts in general for having lousy communication skills. In this instance, my rant was about Doug focusing on technology and never ever making the case for the WHY or the need to do what he suggested in his question. Greg then spoke to the importance of knowing your customer, congressman, market, and effectively communicating the WHY & the NEED. Later, after the rant and aftermath of the volcanic eruption, Greg spoke to how best to approach members of congress and state legislatures.

We welcomed to Hotel Mars Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX to discuss the upcoming Falcon 9 launch, We talked about the recent Falcon 9 launch attempts, delays, thrust vector for the first stage and reusability. John mentioned a video of Falcon 9R and cattle. You can see this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgLBIdVg3EM. We talked some about the importance of reusability, then I read Gwynne the tweet by Peter B. de Selding about Arianespace saying they will match SpaceX launch prices (see https://twitter.com/pbdes/status/481482483792609280). Gwynne then talked about the importance of competition. Near the end, John asked Gwynne about the differences in Grasshopper and Falcon 9R.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Bob Zimmerman back to the show for this 2 hour 8 minute discussion. During the first segment, Bob focused on the Russians gearing up to leave Baikonur, putting more and more of their space industry back under government control, plus their upcoming first test flight and launch of the Angara rocket which has been in development for 20 years or so. We addressed issues from the Russian perspective and the US perspective, talked about the ISS beyond 2020, and the fact that Russia has again said they are not interested in doing space tourism to the Moon, disavowing plans to send two tourists around the Moon despite the rumors that keep appearing. We then talked about the Falcon 9 delays and issues. Bob also explained what was behind the Orbital delay for the next Cygnus/Antares launch which will now take place in July. Evidently there are issues with the Russian rocket motor used by this launcher. The idea that the US will build a new domestic version of the Russian RD-180 engine was discussed with more questions being asked than answered. SpaceX getting USAF certification was also talked about in this segment. In our second segment, we talked about the Chinese lunar rover, Yutu, which is still alive. Bob had much to say in this update. The issue over the NASA and NOAA climate change ground data was discussed in light of the recent news stories suggesting the data was corrupted. Bob explained the use of raw data, why it is being said that the data was corrupted or possibly manipulated. He provided the website sources for this information as did caller Tim. We also talked about the latest radar images coming from Titan which seem to show an island that appears and then disappears in a methane lake. We got a question from Tony about rockets in Australia and Trent answered the questions for us via chat. Trent said the engineers and others get training in Australia, then leave the country. Trent also shared news with us about the recent Falcon 9 launch delays and reported that Arianespace said it would price compete with Falcon 9 launches. Noted space journalist Peter B. de Selding tweeted this from the Arianespace CEO: "Arianespace CEO: Our decision to cut prices to match SpaceX has resulted in handful of contracts already, to be announced in coming weeks." See https://twitter.com/pbdes/status/481482483792609280. Don't forget to visit Bob's blog, http://behindtheblack.com. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog.

Dr. Paul Spudis, Friday, 6-20-14 (88.10MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Paul Spudis. Topics: Dr. Spudis provided us with an overview and analysis of the NRC "Pathways to Exploration: Rationales and Approaches for a U.S. Program of Human Space Exploration." Please direct all comments and questions regarding Space Show programs/guest(s) to the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com.

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. We welcomed back to the show Dr. Paul Spudis to discuss the NRC Human Spaceflight Study report recently released. You can download the report for free at www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=18801. Please note that this program was broadcast and recorded live on Wednesday, June 18, 2014. It is being archived on Friday, 6-20-24 as there will be no live show on Friday due to the host travel schedule. During the first segment of our 1 hour 36 minute program, Dr. Spudis first walked us through the NRC nearly 300 page study, hitting the highlights, raising questions, talking about what was good in the report and disappointing in it. We talked about the rational for human spaceflight, for Mars, also the Moon. We noted the absence of economic development in the report and this gave Dr. Spudis several openings to talk about his ideas for cislunar economic development. Listeners asked lots of email questions ranging from budget issues, to SpaceX and rocket reusability. Paul described much of what the study suggested as a form of "Apollo to Mars." Near the end of this segment we talked about public/private partnerships and learned that the Pathways study was only addressing public programs. A listener asked Dr. Spudis what he thought the impact of the study might be and sitting on a shelf somewhere seemed a plausible answer. In the second segment, Dr. Spudis focused on the response to the report and ways to actually develop a quality space program. He talked about the need for a space transportation system, space infrastructure, and to use an incremental approach. Robotics were discussed, we talked about the space media, and Dr. Spudis reminded us a few times that if there is no infrastructure, there can be no institutional use and capability. We also compared the Apollo period and JFK's goal for the Moon compared to now. Its an interesting discussion, especially since we no longer have many of the skill sets we had back then. The value of the Moon and commercial space came up & we talked about promoting the value to policy makers. In supporting his incremental approach, Paul referenced a bit of US naval history. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. Check out Paul's blog, www.spudislunarresources.com. You can contact Dr. Spudis through his blog or me.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed both Sara Jennings and Aaron Oesterle to the show to discuss the upcoming NewSpace 2014 conference to be held at the Doubletree in San Jose, CA from July 24-26, 2014 in the heart of Silicon Valley. This was a one hour conference promotion program leading off with Sara, the conference chairman for this year, introducing us to the conference and the first day events. Follow the discussion with us at their website, https://newspace.spacefrontier.org. Sara started with the Thursday agenda with a focus on investors, the Lightening Round Pitches, the welcome reception and the keynote later in the day by Art Dula. Also on Thursday, we talked about the Awards Ceremony and near the end of the program, Sara and Aaron announced the winners of this year's awards. We had telephone glitches early in the program, first dropping the call with Sara, then with Aaron. Also, both guests used cell phones which created a few audio issues early on with Aaron. Aaron talked about the Friday program leading off with comments about the Do It Yourself (DIY) space movement which is growing rapidly. Next up we discussed property rights and the planned focus of the panel plus the panel members. On Friday, Andy Aldrin is the lunch speaker and our guests talked about Andy wanting to go to the Moon as did his Dad, Buzz. Andy is now president of the Moon Express. team. Also on Friday, our guests highlighted the lunar panel along with the paradigm shift panel. Saturday, the last day of the conference, our focus was on Donna Edwards as the lunch speaker, then the Gala Event. Our guests pointed out that registration on Thursday and later will be at an increased price so if you are planning to attend, do the online registration prior to the conference first day. We also talked about the Doubletree and the fact that is filling up so act quickly to get the conference rate. Throughout our discussion, we focused on the great networking available throughout the three day event. Doug even sent in an email to support the conference for its excellent networking. In addition, listeners wanted to know if HSF and risk averseness was part of the program and Tony wanted to know about SSP being part of the program. The conference will be live streamed. Check back on the website for details. If you attend NewSpace, please track me down and say hello. Post your comments/questions on TSS blog. Our guests can be reached at the conference website.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Doug Messier back to the show to discuss featured news articles of late on his blog, www.parabolicarc.com. Please note that Doug used a cell phone and we did have audio issues at various times during the show. During the first long segment of our 1 hour 38 minute program, Doug talked about the Mojave Air &Spaceport, Stratolaunch and then Doug got called to task by listeners for his recent reporting & comments regarding Virgin Galactic per his blog, his recent Space Show program and his appearance on the Hotel Mars John Batchelor segment last week. The gist of the hard questions asked Doug centered around asking him if he had a conflict of interest reporting on other companies given the XCOR book he is writing. They asked this because to them, his reporting seemed unfair to Virgin while giving XCOR a pass on many of the same issues he talked about with Virgin. We spent most of the first segment talking about these issues. Doug spoke freely and talked about how he reports on these issues and why he reports the way he does. He mentioned several Virgin stories as examples but he also made it very clear that he wants all the companies to be successful and for the industry to develop. As you will see in the last segment, this particular type of question was asked of him as the program was drawing to a close. Doug was in the hot seat for much of the first segment so you listen and you decide. Let Doug know your thoughts on his Virgin reporting by posting on TSS blog or emailing him. I then moved us to other topics & other companies at Mojave, the FAR for amateur rocketry, but the forces to be kept drawing us back to Doug, his Virgin reporting and XCOR comparisons. Doug managed to talk about recent SFF and Space Access alerts about language in the Senate NASA funding bill that these organizations and others believe to be a poison pill. Listen for details. Also, I asked about Congress planning to fund at least $200 million for a new engine replacement for the RD-180. We also talked about the Falcon 9 & AF SpaceX certification.

We welcomed Ed Wright back to the show to discuss Citizens in Space and the new U.S. Rocket Academy Lynx Cub Payload Carrier they developed with the Texas A&M Space Engineering Research Center. For more information, visit www.citizensinspace.org. During the first segment of our 1 hour 34 minute program, Ed talked about space settlement per his recent talk at ISDC 2014 in Los Angles. After introducing us to the topic, he talked about how space settlement needs to evolve to a permanent base by starting smaller and boot strapping along the way. He explained the process as he visualized it and outlined how such a process, including how both suborbital and orbital flights would lead to job creation, eventually job creation in space. As part over his overall strategy, he includes the Maker Faire movement and contrasted Maker Faire to a typical space conference where Maker Faire draws thousands of people and a typical space conference draws a few hundred to maybe a thousand people. We talked about the role to be played by ISS, military space, and the challenges presented by the human factors medical issues as well as other technical challenges. In the second segment, Doug emailed asking about the ISDC reception Ed got regarding his talk at ISDC. Also, Charles emailed in during both segments to suggest the Microlaunchers approach and to once again voice his doubt about suborbital tourism becoming a successful industry. We also talked about the Citizens In Space New Space Research Platform which is ready for flight testing, the Lynx Cub Payload Carrier developed with the Texas A&M Space Engineering Research Center and XCOR. The carrier will be used on 10 Lynx mission and made available to XCIR customers as ready to fly hardware or even as open-source hardware. You can read about it at http://www.citizensinspace.org/2014/05/lynx-cub-payload-carrier-ready-for-flight-test and at http://www.citizensinspace.org/2014/05/lynx-cub-payload-platform-will-be-unveiled-at-makercon. Ed then explained how Citizens In Space is broader than his earlier program, the original Teachers in Space program, and that now preference for being flown to space goes to those submitting science experiments for the upcoming suborbital flights using the Lynx Cub Payload Carrier. He offered excellent closing comments. Post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. You can contact Ed through me or his website.
