We welcomed back Doug Messier, Managing Editor of ParabolicArc.com for this 1 hour 43 minute discussion. During our first segment, Doug talked about the proposed Google space program involving up to 1,600 satellites for global communication and wifi. Doug shared with us as much information as was currently known regarding this program, plus he talked about the Loon Project and explained why he referred to the multiple satellite program as "Son of Teledesic." While no launch vehicle has been identified Doug and listeners did talk about the possible impact launch services needed for such a large program. Doug also reported on Masten Space Systems. He also talked about Masten in the second segment. Many listeners sent in emails about the proposed Google program, some expressing skepticism, some wanting more information. Doug then turned his attention to Virgin Galactic and he talked about their powered test flights, engine issues, possible hybrid replacement engines, and more. We talked about the signed up Virgin passengers and PR efforts to keep them informed of Virgin's progress. Doug also briefed us on XCOR and the Google Lunar XPrize contest. A listener emailed in about the decline of the California aerospace industry and state regulatory issues. Doug had much to say about this. Before the break, a listener asked for an update on Stratolaunch. In the second segment, Doug talked about the management changes at Virgin given three executives have left in recent times. In addition, he said some of the lower level employees were sending out resumes. In response to a question, he updated us on Virgin's Launcher One. We talked about Dream Chaser test flights, the name change at Dryden, & the NASA Ames name. Near the end he gave us a brief report on Garvey Space, then Dr. Lurio called in and they discussed at length the Virgin hybrid engine issues, vehicle modifications, & the possibilities for a replacement engine. Doug commented that they may not make it to 100KM! As the program was ending, Doug said it would be an interesting year, that he thought there would be crewed vehicle flights later this year, and then he shared his thoughts regarding possible commercial crew downsizing. During this segment, I asked Doug to comment on his most exciting and frustrating stories of last year. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. Doug can be reached through me or through ParabolicArc.com.

Dr. Curt Bilby, Monday, 2-17-14 (60.08MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Curt Bilby. Topics: Update on developing RLIP 76 as a radiation countermeasure drug as we as for possible use in space. 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.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed back Dr. Curt Bilby, CEO of Terapio ( http://terapio.com), to update us on progress with the radiation countermeasure drug RLIP 76, including its potential use to combat and reduce space radiation risks. We had a one hour update with Dr. Bilby which started with the basics of RLIP 76 which is a naturally occurring protein in the human body. Dr. Bilby went through the basics with us, told us that since he was last on the show, they have stabilized the shelf life of the product by being able to store it as a white powder and then when needed mix it with saline. He described the pathway in the body by which RLIP 76 works which is really a supplement to what the body already produces. We talked about their experimentation and testing under what is known as the FDA Animal Rule which he explained in detail to us. He also talked about toxicology studies as well as the type of radiation used in testing the product by the independent testing labs at the University of Indiana and Maryland under the management of the NIH. We discussed the potential uses for RLIP 76 which are prioritized for first responders and those injured but it does have a potential application for space. Listeners asked our guest several questions about its potential use in space, on the way to Mars, on the surface of Mars, and even on the lunar surface for a lunar settlement. At one point later in our discussion, I suggested that being able to use RLIP 76 on a lunar settlement a decade or so out might be the first use of it if we escape a nuclear accident, nuclear terrorist attack, etc. He said such a first usage would be a dream come through as it would mean there were no nuke accidents or attacks and we had a settlement on the Moon! We did talk at length about the two types of animals used in the testing, plus moving to human trials and what information is sought from the human trials. We also talked about production and manufacturing for RLIP 76 and I asked if they had future plans for outsourcing the production to another country. Near the end of our discussion, Dr. Bilby went through the four phases of testing with us as required by the FDA. We also talked extensively about the FDA Emergency Use Authorization for any drug and a listener wanted to know if a Mars mission could apply & be approved for using RLIP 76 as part of their life support mission planning. Just as the show ended, Doug sent in an email asking about the probability of NASA increasing the amount of radiation allowed if the crews used RLIP 76. Dr. Bilby answered him by saying pharmaceuticals might change the profile & exposure levels as current standards are for unmedicated crews. But it was far from certain & NASA might not be the determining agency on the matter. Post your comments/questions on TSS Blog. You can contact Dr. Bilby through me or his website.

Dr. John Jurist, Sunday, 2-16-14 (104.85MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. John Jurist. Topics: Artificial gravity, spinning, tethers, rotation rates, the gravity gradient & more. 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.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed back Dr. John Jurist for this two hour discussion on all aspects of artificial gravity. Note that Dr. Jurist prepared presentation material for this program which you will find on the archived blog entry for this discussion. Also, I recommend you read the excellent article by our UK guest, inventor, & friend, Robert Walker, "Can Spinning Habs Solve the Zero g Health Issues? Can Humans Live in Mars or Lunar g? Why Nobody Knows." (see www.science20.com/print/129424). During our first segment, Dr. Jurist introduced us to the basics of artificial gravity including the Coriolis effect, the gravity gradient & the info needed from in-space artificial gravity R&D. Several studies including one by UC Irvine were mentioned, plus other bed rest studies. He also talked about the Wyle Centrifuge studies which used a short arm for experimentation. Our attention turned to the presentation material on TSS blog titled "Artificial Gravity Comments--JmJurist." Dr. Jurist took us through the tables & charts on his two page document. He was asked about gender & age differences with gravity as well as small rodent/mammal ISS experiments now or in the future. Our first caller was John from Ft. Worth who clarified some of his comments from the last Open Lines show plus he talked about the hardware, infrastructure, & engineering issues for in-space experiments. We talked about the use of tethers & the relationship with microgravity & radiation issues. With our caller still with us, Jenna emailed asking if either Mars One or Inspiration Mars would provide the needed research that never seems to be done by NASA or others. In the second segment, Doug from S. California called. He talked about his T frame tetherball type structure concept as an interim artificial gravity tool but said it was not a long term solution. He also inquired about tethers, then he wanted to know about the mass of possible tether cables as well as potential materials that could be used for in-space tethers. Doug then described a reference mission using a long arm centrifuge for the surface of the Moon. Doug described a very good concept and Dr. Jurist had much to say about it. We had quite the discussion on possible implementation strategies and the roadmap from theory to operations given our current policy & economic environment, plus the track record on other large projects that never made it. With Doug on the phone, Ft. Worth John emailed to inquire about stability issues and tidal forces on the tether. Both Dr. Jurist & Doug made a pass at providing John an answer to his question. In his closing statement, our guest went over some basic advantages with a tether, the problems of the gravity gradient & the fact that the issues for colonization were very different than for experiments or a reference mission. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. If you want to reach Dr. Jurist or our callers, do so through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:10:41 UTC

We welcomed Darrell Preston to the program to discuss his article for Bloomberg News, "Billionaire Musk Gets Brownsville to Pay for SpaceX." You can read the article at www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-12/states-competing-for-spacex-by-offering-financial-breaks.html. Our discussion with Darrell as well as his article explains how Elon and SpaceX got Texas and Brownsville to compete with offers and benefits to get SpaceX to build a launch site near Brownsville. As you will both read and hear, Texas is competing hard for space businesses to come to the Lone Star State. Its an interesting story. In my opinion,
"enlightened" states understand the benefits of going after commercial space companies for the future of their state. Please post any comments/questions you might have on The Space Show blog. You can contact any of us through drspace@thespaceshow.com.

Mark Bray, Tuesday, 2-11-14 (100.37MB; download) -- Guest: Mark Bray. Topics: Huntsville area space update, SLS from the inside, U.S. space policy, leadership issues. 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.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed back Mark Bray for a Huntsville space area update and a unique view from the inside on SLS and U.S. space policy. In the first segment of our 1 hour 49 minute discussion, Mark shared his personal assessment of the Huntsville area space economy, the moods of contractors and NASA workers, & the space IQ for the Huntsville general population. For the most part, Mark reported stability but lots of uncertainty. In contrast, the last time Mark did an area update for us, there were still layoffs happening, lots of uncertainty and personal stress, and stability was far from the scene. We then switched to SLS which was a topic through most of the show because Mark is a contractor working on SLS. Its important to note that Mark was speaking for himself on the program, not for his employer, NASA, or his fellow workers and area space employees. Mark works in the SLS materials lab so we asked him all sorts of questions about the big rocket. For example, I drilled him on the mood of SLS workers given they certainly had to know about the hate-love war going on over SLS within the space community. Mark answered all these questions for us, including questions about possible competitive pressure from SpaceX. We talked extensively about commercial space development and the need for commercial markets. Mark spent some time on the issue of markets because without them, one has no viable commercial activity. Mark then honed in on the problem of political leadership regarding space saying that NASA and related organizations were not the problem. This opened the door for multiple discussions during the balance of the program going after what Mark and I both thought was an absence of quality political leadership in the country and the partisan warfare between the two main parties preventing workable solutions for many if not all the nation's problems. Before the segment ended, I asked Mark about the Chinese lunar lander & robot and what people thought about it. He said most were frustrated that we (the U.S.) was not doing more as we were not operating even close to our potential. In the second segment, Doug called to ask about public/private partnerships, COTS like programs, and he talked about his Lunar Cots ideas. Doug asked about reducing costs. Mark seized the opportunity to again state that engineering technology & NASA management were not the real problems but that leadership issues in Washington were at the center of the problems. John then called from Ft. Worth. He wanted to talk about SLS cost numbers & asked Mark why it was so expensive given the assumption that much of it came from already developed projects including Ares components and more. Don't miss what Mark had to say about this. To see the rest of this review, visit www.thespaceshow.com or thespaceshow.wordpress.com.

Dr. Armen Papazian, Monday, 2-10-14 (86.55MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Armen Papazian. Topics: Dr. Papazian presented his ideas and theories for investing in space based on wealth, not debt. 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.

Space Show programs can be quoted, but the quote must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact The Space Show for further information. In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed back to the show Dr. Armen Papazian to further discuss his innovative and groundbreaking money mechanics of space theory along with his having received the Alpha Centauri Prize Progenitor Award for his space economics work. You can read more about the award, his theory and body of work at www.keipr.com. Several times during our 1 hour 34 minute discussion, Dr. Papazian referenced his Cambridge University Business School Nov. 2013 presentation, "Our Financial Imagination and the Cosmos" which is at www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/media/2013/our-financial-imagination-and-the-cosmos. During our first segment, Dr. Papazian introduced us to his space economic proposal which is to invest directly in NASA and space commerce by creating money through wealth, not by debt which is the traditional way of getting investment money into the banks to circulate it to industry. As this theory may be difficult to understand, the first segment was devoted to describing how the system proposed by our guest would work, the use of Public Capitalization Notes (PCNs) rather than debt securities, and for the Fed to directly invest in NASA and the space industry about half of their monthly QE3 financial support going to the banking industry. This would put abut $40 billion per month in the hands of NASA and the space industry as wealth investments, not debt. Listeners asked our guest several questions to help understand the proposal, if the plan added to inflation, and to understand just how the PCNs would work. In the second segment, we continued the discussion but listeners also wanted to know more about the plan which seems to bypass the banking industry. Dr. Papazian explained that the banks were not bypassed but that the money would flow to them differently. Instead of from the Fed to be loaned out as debt, NASA and the businesses would get the funds direct as explained in the first segment and then the money would go to the banks in the form of deposits. Remember that the banking industry leverages deposits with reserve ratios to increase their money supply to make loans so by the direct wealth investment in space, banks are still very much part of the process. During both segments, we talked about the advanced technology regarding the space investments yet they were constrained by out of date financial methodologies and instruments. Not only would this new space money mechanics increase space investment, it would also be used by NASA for more education. Also mentioned during both segments was the traditional economic concept of scarcity. Our guest spent lots of time debunking scarcity, especially with space given the vastness of the solar system, stars, all of space. As you will hear, the reality of our environment is that it is not based on scarcity so why should our methods for creating money be based on scarcity. Please post your comments/questions on TSS Blog per above. You can reach Dr. Armen Papazian through me or his website. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:01:40 UTC

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Rick Tumlinson back to the show for this 1 hour 53 minute program to discuss Rick's commercial space ventures, space advocacy, NASA, space development and exploration challenges & methods for moving the "revolution" forward. In the first segment, Rick opened up with updates for Deep Space Industries (DSI), asteroid mining, NEO defense, and more. We also talked about Rules of the Road and possible industry regulation that the FAA is now talking about. Much time was spent on possible NEO impacts. We also started discussing the "opposition" to commercial space and new space directions over traditional aerospace programs and directions. Following our discussion regarding DSI, we turned to another of Rick's entrepreneurial companies, Orbital Outfitters. Rick talked about their new & advanced spacesuit design version IS3, their opening R&D offices in Midland, Texas, plus he mentioned upcoming news with which the company will soon take public. I asked Rick about modern day advocacy hurdles as compared to when the Space Frontier Foundation was first started. This provoked lots of interesting comments and discussion points that crossed over into the second segment of our program. However, he did say it was harder now so don't miss the discussion and talking points. In the second segment, we talked about the overall Texas commercial space development strategy, possible new spaceports for Texas, and their understanding of how the space industry is changing and becoming profitable. We also talked about his most recent Huffington Post Op-Ed which will appear within a few days which was a reply to a Slate.com article by NYU Journalism Professor Charles Seife titled "What Is NASA For." You can see the article at
www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/mysteries_of_the_universe/2014/02/nasa_s_mission_its_search_for_meaning_has_limited_its_science_and_damaged.html. While Rick pointed out the problems with the article, he also talked about the author's perspective being valid. Don't miss this discussion. We also talked about public/private partnerships with Doug & the need to be commercially profitable. Lots was said about HSF to Mars and Deimos, plus returning to the Moon. Rick also talked science & robotic missions along with HSF missions. As the program was ending, Rick talked Big Picture with us and being caught up in space advocacy battles & the path forward. He talked about culture, space exploration & development benefits for all of humanity, benefit sharing, and more. He repeated many times that we are at the cusp, a turning point, a paradigm change moment. Please post your comments on TSS blog. Rick provided his email address for contact during the show or you can reach him through me.

Dr. Tom Matula, Friday, 2-7-14 (97.43MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Tom Matula. Topics: Space settlements known as astrosettlements, commercial space development. 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.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Dr. Tom Matula back to The Space Show for a 1 hour 46 minute discussion about Tom's concept for space settlements known as astrosettlements. His Power Point presentation given at the ISDC 2013 has been uploaded to The Space Show blog for your review. In the first segment of today's program, I started out asking about one of Tom's previous theories, the Space Development Bank. From there, we jumped to astrosettlements which Tom believes will be market driven so we discussed some of the market factors that could drive these settlements. Astrosettlements are orbital and would be designed for 500 to 1,000 inhabitants. He listed three characteristics for the astrosettlements and we discussed each one. The three included the need to be autonomous, mobile, and expandable. Doug called from S. California to talk about and clarify market demand. This led Tom to discuss the potential of the SpaceX Dragon Lab. He also talked about suborbital with his understanding that the killer part of suborbital would not be space tourism but instead atmospheric research. I asked Tom for timelines for the astrosettlements and he said 2-3 decades. This sparked further discussion. When I asked for the starting point to develop the astrosettlements, Tom said we would need to develop virtual world models. This resulted in a rather comprehensive discussion of modeling in the virtual world with Charles calling in to disagree across the board with our guest. In the second segment, I read a lengthy email from Carl in San Antonio that deal the lunar development, the Moon Treaty, Common Heritage of Mankind and benefit sharing issues. Don't miss this discussion. Paul Turner both emailed in and called regarding how to profitably develop real estate in orbit, and why it is financially sustainable. Paul has a book coming out on this topic so we will hear more about this later on. More timeline questions came up regarding astrosettlements and the potential early market drivers which might include intellectual property, early materials manufacturing, and raw materials. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show Blog URL above. Tom has a blog you should check out, www.wealthofspace.com. You can reach Tom through me or his blog.
