This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Jeff Smith to the program to discuss the recent Space Expedition Corp program held at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. We initially learned of this event when Doug Messier was recent a guest on the program and since Jeff was going to be in Los Angeles, he decided to attend the event while in Los Angeles. During the first segment of our 91 minute, Jeff introduced us to Space Expedition Corp (www.spacexc.com) which is a Netherlands based space service company wanting to sell & service flights on the XCOR Lynx suborbital vehicle in Curacao. Jeff described the audience attending the event, spoke about the qualifications, expertise, and knowledge regarding the Space Expedition Corp's (SXC) speaker at the event and others in the company. Listeners asked many questions, including environmental questions regarding rocket pollution in the atmosphere. Jeff said this was discussed at the event. Another listener asked about ITAR given XCOR was working with a company in the Netherlands. Both Jeff and then later another listener, Carl, responded and explained the ITAR situation vis a vis XCOR. Jeff also talked about opportunities in aerospace as a result of many leaving the Air Force or other services after their 20 years. Another observation Jeff offered was that he thought more companies were interested in marketing space, not doing space. Jeff was asked if SXC planned Lynx flights at locations other than Curacao. Listener Carl responded that XCOR was planning flights in the States and elsewhere but it was not clear if SXC would be operating in locations other than Curacao. In the second segment, I asked Jeff for his thoughts on the NewSpace industry in general, plus the emerging suborbital industry. Here, Jeff had lots to say, including some concern for market issues and the low barrier to entry for parts of the industry. Betsy in Tulsa asked him what inspired his interest in NewSpace and like many of us, Jeff was addicted to space everything at a very early age, chose to get an education in a related field and follow a career in aerospace. He also wanted to follow the entrepreneurial side of things through NewSpace. He said NewSpace seems to be more ideologically driven than traditional aerospace. We talked about star gazing in Tucson, the Planetary Science Institute plan for telescopes on a Lynx, & the ability of students, especially at the high school level, to do science experiments that were space related through cubesats and more. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. Jeff can be contacted through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 19 Mar 2014 16:15:27 UTC

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed Lee Hutchinson to the program to discuss his recent article, "The audacious rescue plan that might have saved space shuttle Columbia" which you can read at http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/02/the-audacious-rescue-plan-that-might-have-saved-space-shuttle-columbia. Note that Mr. Hutchinson said he found the possible rescue plan spelled out in the CAIB report in seldom discussed Appendix D13 of the report. In questioning Lee, we also learned that the plan did not exist real time with Columbia but was actually requested as part of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board's work. In the first segment of our 1 hour 28 minute program, our guest told us why he wrote the article and how he noticed the possible rescue plan back when he was tasked with reviewing the CAIB Report. During this segment, our guest described all parts of the plan and we discussed the likelihood of it having worked had it been implemented. Lee also discussed probable & significant timing issues with parts of the rescue plan making it unlikely to have been implemented had it been a real time plan under consideration. It was dependent upon too many things happening precisely on time and schedule, something that was not always possible with shuttle launches. Lee also went over the specific crew training issues that would have been required, plus issues in using EVA suits and getting them to and from Columbia for the astronauts to use. Listeners asked many questions including questions about NASA management at the time, risk averseness, & the NASA culture. Lee was asked about the comments & feedback he received from writing his article. As the segment ended, Mr. Hutchinson discussed plane change maneuvers and the significance of the orbital inclination of Columbia and the ISS. In the second segment, a Cleveland listener ask for Lee's thoughts on SLS-Orion. Lee & I talked about this & the NASA culture plus the need for heavy lift assuming there are missions for it. He was asked if the shuttle could fly without pilots, then we went back to SLS. He also told us about his interest in the redesign of the F1 engine. You can read his articles on the F1 here: http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/04/how-nasa-brought-the-monstrous-f-1-moon-rocket-back-to-life; http://arstechnica.com/science/2013/04/new-f-1b-rocket-engine-upgrades-apollo-era-deisgn-with-1-8m-lbs-of-thrust. Lee received several email questions regarding the foam strike on Columbia & foam modification efforts. He was also asked about the shuttle repair kit which was carried on subsequent shuttle flights. Benny asked if a 3D printer on board could have made the materials to repair the Columbia damage. Please post your comments/questions on TSS Blog above.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed back Robert Walker from the UK to discuss artificial gravity with us given our recent Space Show programs on the subject. There was an audio issue with this program so listen carefully so you don't miss anything. During the first segment of our 90 minute program, Robert went over some of the basics such as the Coriolis effect, the gravity gradient, tethers, centrifuges, the vestibular effect, and more. He also went over linear acceleration, spin rates, Russian experiments, issues facing space tourists, and spinning a Dragon capsule. Robert has written many articles on artificial gravity which can be found at www.science20.com/space. One such article was discussed yesterday. See www.science20.com/robert_inventor/blog/ingeious_idea_soyuz_crew_tether_spin_way_iss_artificial_gravity_almost_no_extra_fuel-131278. Also, check out www.science20.com/print/131279; www.science20.com/print/131278 & www.science20.com/print/129424. In our second segment, Robert talked about both Inspiration Mars and Mars One as it relates to spinning to create artificial gravity, the number of revolutions per minute, simulate programs, and his favorite, a 2-3 year precursor mission at Earth L2. He wants the mission designed to be a comprehensive test bed for artificial gravity. Later in the segment while discussing Mars, he suggested we orbit Mars and not land on the planet. Listen to his reasoning for this type of human Mars mission. For one thing, he said its much safer to be in orbit. We then focused on the possibility of microbial life on Mars, we talked about the Viking Labeled Release experiments. Robert was asked a question about the sleeping centrifuge (you sleep horizontal as one does on Earth). Partial gravity was discussed as well. Robert said many times that we must find out what is going on with Mars. He mentioned the Phoenix mission which Mars One is planning to copy to some degree with its robotic mission to Mars in 2018. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. You can reach Robert via his articles or through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Sat, 15 Mar 2014 17:30:13 UTC

Dr. Zubrin opened up by telling us about the Mars Artic 365 program (http://ma365.marssociety.org) and their fund raising efforts through Indiegogo and other programs (www.indiegogo.com/projects/ma365-a-one-year-mars-simulation-in-the-canadian-arctic). Throughout the entire program, Dr. Zubrin received questions/comments about Arctic 365. He was asked about telepresence and having the sim in a more populated place than the arctic. Bob dismissed telepresence as not being nearly as effective as having humans work "on Mars" & he stressed the importance of simulating a real Mars working mission. Bob went over the logistics and scheduling for this first crew for Arctic 365, plus remaining opportunities and ways for people to participate in the program as the crew selection process is closed. We talked about the costs and crew skill sets, plus Mars Society fund raising efforts for this program. Jack emailed about radiation on Mars and as before, Bob suggested it was not as big a risk as many claim. He was also asked about teaming up with Mars One on Arctic 365 program. Bob said he was open to doing things with Mars One and suggested Arctic 365 would be a perfect training program those who train the Mars One crews. Later, Bob was asked about doing a completely private mission to Mars. Bob used this as a spring board to describing the kind of policy & political leadership in government and NASA, both of which he said absent for now. He even proposed some broad based financing suggestions. Doug called wanting to know his thoughts on Phobos & Deimos. Bob used this as an opportunity to support a flyby mission. He was not that supportive of visiting the Marian moons. Don't miss his explanation for his position. As the segment was ending, I asked him about life on Mars. Bob thinks there probably is life on Mars, don't miss what he had to say about this. In the second segment, Steve asked Bob about the Delta V needed for going to the Moon as compared to Mars. He talked about the Moon being easier than Mars. Again, don't miss all of Bob's response to Steve's question/comment. NASA and political leadership were more fully discussed in this segment, then he was asked about the SLS. Here, Bob had a lot to say. While critical of SLS, he would not cancel it. Again, don't miss his comments on this topic. He talked about SpaceX & Falcon 9, heavy lift in general, crew size on a Mars mission, and finally possible threats from the Chinese space program. Toward the end he talked about electric propulsion for slow cargo missions, then I asked him for his thoughts on the Mars cycler system. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. You can email Dr. Zubrin through me.

We welcomed Dr. Erik Seedhouse back to the show for this 1 hour 28 minute discussion regarding suborbital space and Erik's new book, "Suborbital: Industry at the Edge of Space." In the first segment, Erik started out by telling why he wrote the book and he gave us updates regarding the prominent suborbital space companies. We talked about payload flights, science flights, academic flights and space tourism flights. Dr. Seedhouse spoke to the need to lower the cost for the flights and the need to prepare for painful accidents. Listeners asked him to describe the flight profile for SpaceShip2 and the training many of the passengers had taken at the NASTAR Center. Erik then spoke about competing centers, the American Astronautic Institute in Florida and Waypoint 2 Space which is adjacent to NASA JSC. Questions came up about Astronauts4Hire and & the need to self market to get a flight. Erik talked about floating free during the microgravity part of the flight on Virgin, addressing the issue of getting back to your seat on time before reentry. Near the end of the segment, a listener asked why it was taking so long for suborbital flight we it was done decades ago and the information is in the public domain. Ham the Chimp got mentioned in this section. As the segment was closing, the new topic of space motion sickness came up. In the second segment, a listener wanted to know if it mattered to the passenger re medical issues if vertical launch was used or horizontal launch was used. Erik said the g force was the biggest medical problem with suborbital space. He also talked about long arm centrifuge training, then he went over the Anti-G Straining Maneuver to deal with g force issues. Space suits came, space tourist physical conditioning was discussion topic as was space radiation which Erik said was not a problem for suborbital flights. Please post your comments on The Space Show blog above. Erik can be contacted at DrEricSeedhouse@hotmail.com. Erik's website is www.suborbitaltraining.com.

Dr. Gil Levin returned as our guest to continue his discussion about the Viking Landers and the search for life through the labeled release experiments. In the first segment of our 95 minute show, Dr. Levin explained the labeled release experiment plus he went through the analysis and conclusions which point to Viking having found molecular life on Mars. He talked at length about the refusal of NASA to confirm these findings though in private many scientists, including several from NASA, have told him that his conclusions are likely correct. Gil also talked about several recent television appearances he has had regarding the Viking landers and his experiment. Listeners asked him many questions, including what NASA is doing to continue the search for life on Mars. He said nothing and then talked about Curiosity & some of the other rovers and orbiting satellites and what they are focused on doing. He also talked scheduled experiments but have yet to be done. It is worth noting that the Viking 1 and Viking 2 landers sat down 4,000 miles from one another yet their labeled release experiments produced similar results. Gil mentioned some concern for the durability of the Curiosity rover, specifically its wheels as well as the quality of scientific journalism and the press. He is hoping key experiments are done prior to the end of Curiosity. In the second segment, we talked about a Mars sample return mission. Gil was not supportive of such a mission due to the risk of the samples being toxic to us here on Earth. We had quite the discussion on this subject. John from Ft. Worth called wondering about the impact life on Mars would have on us here on Earth. Next, Gil was asked what experiments should be done to confirm life on Mars. Gil talked about doing a chiral labeled release experiment. Don't miss our detailed discussion on this experiment and why it would be so important to do it on Mars. Toward the end, we talked about Dr. Levin's current work, his teaching, and his perseverance for confirming the findings of the Viking 1 and 2 labeled release experiments. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. You can reach Dr. Levin through my address, drspace@thespaceshow.com.

In addition, he has given listeners Chapter One of his book which has been uploaded to The Space Show blog for this program. During the first segment of this 94 minute discussion, Dragos started out by telling us why he wrote the book, what he wanted to accomplish with the book and the methodology he used in writing it. He worked with several consultants and as you will hear, he cited numerous examples both in the space industry and outside the space industry to make his points about what he kept referring to as the social context of decision making, accountability, etc. After providing us with the background to aviation and aerospace failures, he talked about remedies and modifications per the social context which I took to refer to the organizational culture though Dragos has a much broader definition which you will get during this interview. In our second segment, he talked with us about scheduling and budget pressures that lead to failures and some of the recognizable danger signals. He also provided us with some useful stats for speaking up from the employee ranks about problems and issues and why they often go unreported. We talked about some additional specific corporate examples he used to make his point, plus we talked about the entrepreneurial space company culture. Later, he went through the important four human needs followed by the four behaviors. Our guest provided us with a good summary of his book and the subject.

We welcomed Anatoly Zak of (www.russianspaceweb.com) to the program to discuss the Russian action underway in the Crimea and the Ukraine. Since the Ukraine has many supporting space industries, companies, and space products, we talked with Anatoly about the stability of our ISS partnership & interconnected space partnerships. The U.S. has a strong dependency on Russia and in particular the Ukraine for Soyuz components, Orbital's Antares first stage, and much more. Anatoly thought things would remain stable providing thee was no escalation. I specifically asked if he thought economic sanctions would represent escalation and he said yes. We also talked about the new space center Russia is building, the consolidation of their space industry, and the Russian people's interest level in space activities.Please post any comments/questions you might have on The Space Show blog.
