This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Michelle Evans, author of the best selling book, "The X-15 Rocket Plane, Flying the First Wins into Space." During the first segment of our 1 hour 28 minute program, Michelle started off talking about the May, 18, 2014 Michael Adams re-dedication memorial event. You can see pictures from this event and understand the crash site and location better by viewing the pictures Michelle took and posted. See www.mach25media.com/adams.html. In fact, I strongly urge you to explore her full website, www.mach25media.com as it has the best ever collection of X-15 photos plus other aviation and related material, her presentations on the X-15 and collections from her modeling photography. Michelle took us through the history of the X-15 program and Major Mike Adams up to and including his last and fatal flight. This was the only fatality in the X-15 program which had 199 flights! During this segment, we talked about other X-15 pilots including the very recent passing of pilot Bill Dana. Note the history of the Mike Adams Memorial which had its genesis in a project by Eagle Scout candidate John Bodylski in 2004. Listeners and I asked Michelle about the X-15, the B-52 carrier planes and the location of X-15 historical craft and related hardware. B-52 008 which was one of the carrier planes for X-15 is parked outside Edwards AFB while B-52 003 is at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson. The remaining X-15 rocket planes are at Wright Patterson Air Museum and the Smithsonian. Michelle also spoke about the two nearby towns to the Mike Adams Memorial, Randsburg and Ridgecrest. In the second segment, Michelle noted that the remaining X-15 pilot Joe Engle was invited to the re-dedication but his schedule did not allow it. However, you will find the Joe Engle letter about the re-dedication on Michelle's website per the above URL. Michelle was asked if the X-15 was really a precursor for our space program and she said not so much for Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo but definitely for the Space Shuttle, helping to prove the fact that the shuttle could do a power free glide back to Earth and a safe landing. After talking about several dry lake emergency X-15 landing sites, Paul emailed in a question about Chuck Yeager and the X-15. Michelle had much to say about Chuck and the X-15...See www.thespaceshow.com or http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com for the balance of this summary.

We welcomed back to Hotel Mars veteran Anatoly Zak to help us understand recent statements made by Russia regarding their breaking off space relations with us by the year 2020 in response to U.S. sanctions against Russia over the Crimea and Ukraine. Anatoly provided us with valuable insights to the rhetoric on both sides, the Russian rocket engine issue, the newly announced Russian space budget, Russian-Chinese space agreements and joint programs, Russia's new launch site and the ISS orbit, and the likelihood of Russian going it alone with their ISS module plus the unlaunched segments of what might make up a Russian only space station. We also talked more about the RD-180 engine problem. At one point Anatoly said damage had already been done regarding our joint space programs but he was optimistic the situation would stabilize.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back plasma physicist Dr. John Brandenburg to talk about his new book, "Cosmic Jesus: The Metaphysics of How the God of Israel Became the God of the Cosmos." Remember, if you buy the book through the OGLF Amazon portal, Amazon contributes part of the purchase price to The Space Show/OGLF. In the first segment of our 2 hour 1 minute show (this was a 90 minute segment), Dr. Brandenburg introduced us to the topic of metaphysics which he defined as what can be deduced from physics or the attempt to answer basic questions like what happened before the Big Bang and what is actually out there or here or anywhere. Dr. Brandenburg provided us with the foundation and background for having written this book starting with his fundamentalist upbringing, his Ph.D and his work at Lawrence Livermore Lab. This is one of the few Space Show programs that is hard to describe in summary format but during the first long segment, John related things we know about in physics to metaphysics and biblical history. John from Ft. Worth called and here we departed from the metaphysical and biblical to a discussion about related theories and associations in physics, including the work of noted Russian physicist, Dr. Andrei Sakharov. John also cited biblical references in his physics discussion, plus we talked about Mars rocks, extraterrestrial life, early life on Mars, and the realization that we here on Earth are not the center of the biological universe. In discussing this, Dr. Brandenburg said many times throughout the program that we were headed for a Second Copernican Revolution. Our long first segment ended with the three of us talking about the gravitational constant, models of gravity, & gravity modification. In the short second segment, we talked about Alexander the Great and the combining of the physical/scientific universe with the spiritual universe. Dr. Brandenburg then spoke to the separation which he said came later on with the scientific revolution with Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton and others. John also told us about one of his theories suggesting that around 1520, the Spanish brought back to Spain information about the Aztecs and Aztec culture and items. This was a big deal to the Europeans, especially those in Northern Europe so note what he proposes. As we were nearing the two hour point and the end of the show, I asked John about future book plans and for his take away or Pearls of Wisdom from tonight's discussion. He referred back to many of his earlier extraterrestrial life in the universe comments and said that even if we as Earthlings are demoted from being the biological center the universe, we are still very important. A metaphysical perspective for sure. Please post your comments/Questions on TSS blog. You can reach Dr. Brandenburg through me.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. I welcomed our listeners to The Space Show 13th birthday celebration LITE. During the first segment of our nearly 2 hour discussion, I started off with the usual announcements & talked about some of my perspectives with the space industry over time & as a result of hosting the show. Some of what I said helps to explain why I go on rants from time to time about la la & thinking & being grounded in the sciences, engineering, markets, finance, etc. Our friend & first caller was Michael Listner who called in to offer congratulations to TSS & me. Michael has become a real friend over the years as a result of TSS & our Hotel Mars segments as so many of you have despite the fact that I have yet to meet many of you in person. By the way, during this opening segment, I thanked all the listeners who have been sending in great emails about TSS & my hosting it. I did not have time to read each & everyone but do know the success of TSS has as much to do with you the listener & you the guest as it does with anything that I do. Also in this segment, I talked about a detailed email with questions from our friend Bob Krone. I read his email on air & responded to most of his questions as best as I could though as you will hear, in a few instances I pleaded ignorance to what he was asking & in other instances, I lightly imposed my understanding of his question on him with my modified answer. Don't miss Bob's excellent questions & how I responded to them. In the second segment, we continued talking about Bob's email, then Tony from Seattle called to talk about Bigelow, SpaceX, reusability, & being optimistic not negative. This prompted me to explain the difference in being optimistic & a cheerleader which I am not. Tony also talked about SpaceX going to Mars, plus he had much to say in honoring TSS show. He talked about methane engines & listener Doug's work regarding lunar concepts & engineering, plus his frequent Space Show calls which are typically deemed excellent by Space Show listeners. Brian Laubscher called to offer congratulations to TSS show plus he did a mini update on his carbon nanotube work & briefly let us know some of the space elevator updates. Brian will returning to the show on June 8 for a full discussion re carbon nanotube work & advancements plus the space elevator. As we were drawing to a close on the show, I again thanked everyone for their support & participation over the years & their contribution in making TSS successful for us all. I joked with some of the listeners about another 13 years of TSS (I noted that I would then be 81). If I am still able to do the show, I sure as heck hope we have gone some place, done some cool things, & that we are truly space fairing by then. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. Welcome to this 2 hour 1 minute program. In our first segment, we started with the first caller, Richard Easton who told us about the passing of his Dad, Roger Easton, the father of GPS. Richard has been a guest on the show several times &we were most fortunate to have Roger as a guest as well several years ago. We took this opportunity to honor Roger Easton & talk about the early days of Roger's timing work which formed the backbone of GPS. Richard went through some of the early history with us as he has done on previous shows. I urge you to listen to this call plus go back and listen to Richard's earlier shows, including his first one when Roger was with him. You will hear oral history at its best & from the major scientist/engineer who brought us GPS. After Richard's call, we took our first break. In the second segment, I read a NASA PR announcement about the successful recovery of Dragon bringing back 3,500 lbs. of cargo from the ISS. Congratulations to SpaceX and NASA!. John from Ft. Worth called to talk about the U.S. sanctions on Russia regarding the Crimea/Ukraine, the Atlas 5, the RD-180 engine and various straggles that might unfold for the ISS. John was asking thought provoking questions which neither of us could answer but we do know the situation is largely political rhetoric and posturing right now but could easily change. I asked John if he thought we might fast track the development of HSF and Dragon. As he said, we wait and see. Next, I took a very short break to return with my attempt to respond to the questions about Russia, the ISS, and sanctions asked by Kelly in his email which I read on air. Our next caller was first time caller John from New Jersey who took us through to the end of the program. John's call was an excellent one & I urge you to listen to what he had to say. We talked about the old shuttle policy, the possible use of depots, lunar settlement & using the Moon for training and experience to go further out in space. We also talked about Mars and asteroid mission, then the issue of leadership came up regarding policy & in particular, space. Like so many of us frustrated by our current situation, John was unable to find answers to how to advance policy. I asked him if the militarization of space by another state actor might be a driver for the type of space activities we had been talking about. He did not think so but listen to his answer. One of his favorite comments was to the effect that "we are having Star Trek dreams in a wagon train universe!" Prior to ending our program, I went over our upcoming Space Show schedule. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. You can reach any of our callers/participants through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 19 May 2014 16:34:44 UTC

During the first segment of our 1 hour 25 minute discussion, Mark Fisher introduced us to the Schafer Corporation which has in excess of 40 years experience and activity in the civil, commercial, DOD, & the government space industry. We honed in on civil and commercial and Mark talked about Bigelow Aerospace, Stratolaunch, the entrepreneurial community, and NewSpace. This discussion took us to new technologies and here Mark said that NewSpace was providing lots of new technology. We also talked about human spaceflight and its growth, particularly on the NewSpace side of things. Listener Jack emailed in a question about the wisdom of international partnerships to which Mark had much to say. I asked our guest about overlapping areas with DOD & commercial space, then about pursuing ROIs from space activities & projects & if that was a big switch from just a decade ago. That brought up a discussion about business models and the role Schafer plays with clients in business as well as with engineering as Schafer is an engineering company. One point made continuously by our guest was that space investment leads to results but its an ebb & flow over the long haul. We talked about space technology, computer, and electronic advances, plus changes over time in materials and optics. The subject of launch vehicles & the industry came up, especially with cubesats, SpaceX & Orbital. Pooley called in to talk once again about small launchers & Microlaunchers. At one point he commented that Leo, being too crowded, should be abandoned for escape orbital opportunities. Both Mark & I had some interesting comments per what Charles was talking about. In the second segment we talked about the U.S. capability to build new launchers & engines but we also talked about the high costs and long development & testing time in doing so. Mark shared with us his rocket motor development experience. We talked about Mark's Schafer team, the development of an internship program at Schafer, and Shafer employment opportunities. A listener asked about difference in approach to the public, civil, & commercial side of space projects & the need for commercial to fund itself. We talked about wireless medial monitoring, miniaturization, & other space spinoff technologies. Much was said about the biomedical push by NASA. I asked about the once robust Huntsville space economy which has had some issues in recent years. An inquiry was made about DOD, Mars technology development, sharing tools with NASA, and if we needed to make weapons to advance technology. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. If you want to contact our guest, you can do so through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Sat, 17 May 2014 18:12:46 UTC

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Chris Laster to the program to discuss his award winning space shuttle simulation program for 4th & 5th graders in the Russell Space Center project at the Russell Elementary School in Smyrna, GA (see http://russellroadrunners.typepad.com/space for more information). In part one of this 90 minute discussion, Mr. Laster provided us with an overview of the simulation program plus its history, why he started it, his early on interest in the space program, how students are selected for the program and the criteria they must meet, plus the support the program has throughout the school, with parents, and the community. Please follow along with us on the website above. Once there, you can access all aspects of the sim program including the YouTube presentation of the 27 hour sim from this year. By visiting the Mission Control link at the far right and Intrepid Simulator link also on the far right, you can see photos of their hardware and the students hard at work with the sim. To qualify for the program, students need to write an essay and make a commitment to do the program after school because they start in September getting ready for the sim and then they fly the sim near the end of the school year in early May. Chris told how he selects the astronaut crew which is focused on getting the best team that can work together. He talked at length about the typical 4th and 5th grader at the Russell Elementary School and those choosing to do the sim. Also during this segment, we talked at length about the actual mission and the mission objectives. Questions were asked about following alumni of the program to see how it might have impacted their college and career choices. In the second segment, we talked about the YouTube video of the 27 hour sim which is broken up into two hour segments. We also talked about broader school interest and support from teachers and students not part of the sim. Chris told us about the launch and landing which are big deals throughout the school so don't miss what he had to say about this. John called in from Ft. Worth and talked logistics for the students who spend the night on the sim set. We talked about food, sleeping conditions, even bathroom conditions which are all designed to simulate space flight as much as possible. Later in the segment we talked about adding a space walk and the support received for mission objectives and more. As the program was drawing to a close, we talked about payload challenges. Wait till you hear what the students designed in terms of a future Mars mission. I certainly look forward to more programs with Chris in the future and if possible with some of his students who do the sim. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. You can reach Chris Laster through his website or me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 14 May 2014 16:39:23 UTC

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Dr. John Jurist to discuss some space program related medical and biotechnical advancements to illustrate some of the benefits and importance of human spaceflight. Listeners also asked him about radiation and one listener in particular answered my question as to why so many space advocates & enthusiasts dismiss the human factors when planning their versions of a humans to the Moon or Mars mission. During the first segment of our 90 minute discussion, Dr. Jurist talked about the former astronaut Deke Slayton's experience with NASA and spaceflight during NASA's early days when it was discovered that Deke had atrial fibrillation (afib) regarding his heart rate. Given that I've made it public that afib was the reason for my medical leave of absence plus I talked on air about my cardiac ablation procedure at UCSF Medical Center, it seemed appropriate for Dr. Jurist to open with that topic. Dr. Jurist showed how Deke's afib experience was in many ways, with NASA research, the root of biotechnology and patient monitoring, wireless monitoring, and even the early days of afib research. He talked about early space and aviation companies making the monitoring devices for the patient & medical public though this is hardly ever mentioned when talking about NASA spinoffs. Listeners and I asked lots of questions about these advancements coming from sources other than NASA had NASA not been around. Would we have had them anyway and around the same time? Don't miss what Dr. Jurist had to say in response to this line of questioning. Dr. Jurist also spoke about bone density issues and osteoporosis analysis and mitigation devices and drugs, many of which have been tested and used in space.
