We welcomed Dr. Farrand back to the show to talk about Opportunity's 10th anniversary on the surface of Mars, Mars rovers in general and Martian science. During the first segment of our 1 hour 37 minute discussion, Dr. Farrand was asked about 10 years for Opportunity effective Jan. 24 and to why he thought Opportunity was still going strong after ten years. He gave credit to the JPL engineers that designed and built the rover and those that keep the systems going. We talked about the loss of a few of Opportunity's instruments over the past ten years plus the current science being done by the rover. We also talked about its path to Endeavour Crater. In response to one of my questions, Opportunity has traveled about 38 KM since it first landed on Mars ten years ago. He also said the science was as exciting today as it was when Opportunity first started. Listen to how he described the rover's evolution with science and its work over the past decade. From time to time, other Mars rover science questions and comments came up, especially related to comparing Curiosity to Opportunity. Our guest was asked about Earth analog sites for Mars, then water on Mars. Cathy asked how they kept the solar panels clear of dust for maximum solar power to the rover. He said they rely on Martian winds to dust off the panels. We also talked about bandwidth communications and the use of the Deep Space Network (DSN). In the second segment, we talked about our guest's, www.farrviewconsulting.com plus the pictures posted on the site. We also talked about the special rover exhibit now underway at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. You can see some photos from the exhibit along with a picture of our guest on the website. As you will hear, some of the photos in the exhibit were taken by Spirit before it suffered its untimely demise. Bill was asked several questions about technology advancement from rover to rover and Mars in general. Later, we talked about humans on Mars, the use of Phobos, and then Doug called in to ask if it was worth the cost to put humans on Mars given how many more rovers we could put on Mars for the cost of just one human mission. As the program was ending, Dr. Farrand summarized his thoughts on 'Oppy" and ten years, again giving a shootout to JPL engineers. He said the outcome of Oppy was paradigm shifting! The final question was from Sally asking about Martian fossils. Don't miss Bill's final comments regarding this question. Post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. Dr. Farrand can be reached through his website or me. Selected by: Andrew Grumet [ stations ], Thu, 23 Jan 2014 05:17:56 UTC

We welcomed Howard Bloom back to the show for this two hour 6 minute complex space policy, leadership, commercial space and more discussion. During the first segment, Howard worked us into discussions about space and pop culture, space leadership and policy issues, commercial and private space issues, and the SLS as representative of extreme pork taking down the space program. This conversation included many side tracks including space art for inspiration, Von Braun, Chesley Bonestell, and more. We talked about The Space Development Steering Committee, their focus on private space as well as space solar power (SSP). As you listen to this program, you will realize this is not an ordinary Space Show discussion on these topics as Howard brings to us very unique and very broad important perspectives with important information. In the second segment, Chuck Lauer called in to talk about the Darpa XS1 suborbital program and his company submission. Later, Howard talked about Dragon and Cygnus plus the significance difference between the two. He advocated for fuel depots and space infrastructure. I asked Howard about a timeline for realizing the development/implementation of the project he was talking about. He also talked about the ISS, Mars, Phobos, and L1. Near the end of the discussion, Howard talked about his two Kindle books available on Amazon, "How I Accentually Started the Sixties" and "The Mohammed Code: Why a Desert Prophet Wants You Dead." Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. Howard provided his social media and email address during this show for contact and for joining The Space Development Steering Committee.

Dr. William (Bill) Rowe, Sunday, 1-19-14 (113.47MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. William (Bill) Rowe. Topics: Dr. Rowe's hypothesis regarding EVAs, heart rate, shortness of breath, dehydration. 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. Bill Rowe for this 2 hour 3 minute discussion regarding his hypothesis about Neil Armstrong's hear rate while on EVA on the surface of the Moon and just before reentry. During the first segment, Dr. Rowe explained his hypothesis, his having gotten specific information about Neil Armstrong on the Moon through the Freedom of Information Act, and more. At times, Dr. Rowe's discussion was technical using medical terminology but our guest was careful to explain everything to us using layman terminology as well. Bill referenced several papers on his website: 1) www.femsinspace.com/ARMSTRONG_LAST_LUNAR_20_MINUTES_PAPER.pdf; 2) www.femsinspace.com/Armsrtong_moonwalk_and_Spashdown.pdf; 3) www.femsinspace.com/exercise.htm; 4) www.femsinspace.com/apollo15.htm. I urge you to visit these pages for additional & supplemental information for today's discussion. During this fist segment, Bill put forth his hypothesis based on the information he received about Armstrong on the Moon and from what he knows about generally accepted cardiac conditions, facts, treatments, and risks. He received several listener emails with questions and a call from Doug in S. California who is a medical doctor. In summary, Dr. Rowe's hypothesis was based on Neil having a very high heart rate on the Moon during EVA of 160 bpm. Upon reentry to Earth three days later, according to the information, Neil's heart rate was 61-62 bpm. Dr. Rowe used this segment to explain the significance of these heart rate numbers, the risks associated with them, and what it likely meant was going on with Armstrong from a cardiac and medical perspective. Dr. Rowe then postulated a care and management protocol for EVAs, what to do if shortness of breath is reported by the astronaut, the use of IV fluids to combat dehydration, spacesuit fluids & cooling, and more. In the second segment, Dr. Rowe continued taking listener questions, he spoke about his peers and their reception to his hypothesis, the publication of his hypotheses in reviewed journals and his upcoming presentation on this subject at a major international conference in Dubai. Listeners asked about cosmonaut medial information as well as the same regarding the Chinese. Bill commented on how good the Russian information was but he did not know very much about the Chinese taikonauts and their medical information. He talked more about Armstrong's information, he introduced us to the term "confounder" and he talked about the lunar regolith being loaded with iron and what this probably means for astronaut health given iron being a toxic. He talked about a few of his articles on his website, all of which are listed above. Later he talked about some of Astronaut Jim Irwin's medical information from his being on the Moon and the reentry G force of about 7 G's. As our program was ending, Bill summarized his hypothesis for us and said this opens the door for much needed further research. Post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Joan Horvath back to the show to discuss 3D printing with her company Deezmaker & 3D printing for space and here on Earth. For more information, visit her company website, http://deezmaker.com. During the first segment of our 1 hour 27 minute show, Ms. Horvath introduced us to 3D printing and Deezmaker in Pasadena, CA. Joan talked about being part of the Maker and Hacker communities, the two highly successful Deezmaker Kickstarter programs, and their two small desktop and portable printers, the Bukobot and the Bukito Portable Printer. She described their customer as being one of 3 types. Their target included high school and college students. We talked about the capabilities of their printers, the fact they both are do it yourself assembly kits, and that the company offers some assistance in assembly as well as scanning. Other topics in this segment included mass manufacturing, molds, robotics, mechanical parts, materials used to build the kits as well as for printing items. Joan was asked about plans to put a 3D printer on the ISS, the success of both Kickstarter programs, the interest & demand for 3D printing, Deezmaker competition, and even lunar surface 3D printing. We learned that tops among the challenges her company printers faced were supply chain problems. I asked if Deezmaker faced ITAR challenges which it does not. Joan often referred to their printers as a "little factory on the desk." Jack emailed asking if these smaller printers were stepping stones to learning how to work with larger 3D printers. Joan talked about the operating software & computer tools, including G Code which 3D printers use. She also relayed a story to us about how these printers served as a learning inspirational tool for geometry/math students and others. Rob of PISCES called in from Hawaii to ask about 3D printing and volcanic basalt. In the second segment, Aaron wanted to know if the 3D printing claims were exaggerated. Joan said the industry was definitely on the ramp of the hype cycle. She then said what she thought 3D printing would be good for and not so good for. The latter group included food. She then discussed uses in archaeology, paleontology, and other fields. Our guest was asked more about lunar 3D printing. She said it would be OK for 1 or 2 things, not for mass production copies of something needed. Ben talked about industry consolidation. Joan thought it might still be too early to see widespread consolidation. Doug called to say he was skeptical about 3D printing & asked supply chain questions and questions about trades and analysis. Joan mentioned an upcoming Burbank, CA expo, the Deezmaker blog on the website, a calendar of events and more. As we ended our discussion, we talked about international 3D printing interests, materials, garage invention tinkering with 3D printing, and the Deezmaker open house the first Sunday of every month in Pasadena. Post your comments/questions on TSS blog. You can reach our guest through Deezmaker.com or through me. Selected by: Andrew Grumet [ stations ], Thu, 23 Jan 2014 05:15:04 UTC

We welcomed Bob Zimmerman back to the show for this two hour discussion. Bob started the first segment with an overview of commercial space progress to date in 2014 which includes Space X Falcon 9 launch, Orbital's launch to the ISS, the recent Virgin Galactic demo test plus other events. SLS came up again and unfortunately took up time throughout the show. As you will hear me say, I am sick of the pro and anti-SLS comments on the show and really need an SLS break as I imagine most listeners do as well. Unfortunately, callers and email questioners kept bring it back to our focus and Bob was not shy on commenting on SLS as he wants it cancelled. We talked some about Virgin Galactic and XCOR, then I asked about Dream Chaser given the news it has been seeking international partners to continue the project. Bob was next asked about the Chinese policy and their lunar lander. He started comparing the Chinese program of today to the early Soviet Union program and suggested that like all space programs, they will make a significant contribution to changing the culture of the country. We talked about the new Omnibus 2014 Budget Bill before congress and the increases to NASA, planetary science, commercial crew and more. As we neared the break, Bob in Berkeley asked Bob the guest to opine on Inspiration Mars and Mars One. Doug from S. California called with multiple questions before the break, starting out asking about Bob's comments on the negatives for taking government money and wanting to know if that applied to Space Act Agreement recipients. His last question directed to Bob and me was based on our being part of the space media and about influencing policy, culture, programs, etc. Bob's and my response continued into the second segment. During the second segment, Trent chatted in from Australia, then Dave called in from Chicago to asked about the J2X engine. Bob and I talked some more about making a policy impact, then I asked Bob for key issues that will emerge for the balance of the year. He talked about Russia competing with private companies, HSF and Dragon, astronomy, ground based telescope improvements, and NASA science programs. At the end, I asked about the new mission for Kepler Space Telescope to have it continuing doing useful and productive research for the rest of its life. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog and visit Bob website often, http://behindtheblack.com. You can reach Bob through his website or through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

For more information, visit www.microlaunchers.com. Remember, if you order the book through Amazon, please do so through the OGLF Amazon portal which is listed on TSS website, TSS blog, and in all archive summary statements. If you have questions about this, email me. It is important for TSS to receive these contributions from Amazon. During the first segment of our 1 hour 33 minute program, Charles and Ed talked with us about the Microlaunchers concept and how that concept is depicted in the book. We also learned how Charles and Ed met and the role each had in writing and completing this book. Our first caller Jeff from Tucson won the give away copy of the book. Jeff also asked our guests about the role of cubesats in the Microlaunchers concept specifically for LEO and then GEO. This led to Charles talking with us about secondary payloads and why he does not favor them. Charles & Ed then described some of the Microlaunchers launch parameters, then we took a question from Paul in Boston who wanted to ask about market concerns for the Microlauncher concept. Doug from S. California was the next caller with three specific issues to raise with our two guests. We also talked about payload mass and the path to a larger system, including the GEO market. As the segment ended, Charles put forth his payload pricing goals for his system. In the second segment, we started out with Ed describing the organization of the book into three main sections. Next, our guests fielded questions about propulsion. Charles said they were using a bi-propellant fuel consisting of liquid propane and liquid oxygen. Hardware issues were also discussed and our guests raised issues of how to get more awareness and visibility for their concept. The last call came from Nels in London as we were about to end the show. Nels wanted to know about the trades considered and used regarding the fuels and the propulsion systems our guests talked about during the program. Both our guests left us with closing comments you will want to hear. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. You can reach our guests through the Microlaunchers website or through me.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. Welcome to this 2 hour 11 minute wide ranging discussion with a surprising debate between two callers in the latter part of the second half of the show. During the first segment, we started out with a call from Paul to talk about his AIAA Spaceflight Challenge Program for inspiring students. The purpose of this program is to inspire students to be involved in space development and exploration. Paul will keep us posted on the project as it develops over the coming months. Charles Pooley called in next to tell us that his Microlaunchers book was out and that he and his co-author would be on The Space Show to discuss it in detail Monday, Jan. 13, 2014. The book, "Microlaunchers: Technology for a New Space Age," is available through Amazon. If you buy it and I suggest you do, use the OGLF Amazon portal so Amazon will make a contribution to The Space Show. Directions for doing this are on each blog archive, website archive, TSS website home page and on www.onegiantleapfoundation.org. Let me know if you have any questions. I believe you will be impressed with his long awaited book and hats off to Charles for finally getting it done and for doing a terrific job with it. In our second segment, we took a call from an upstate NY college student inquiring about the returning to the Moon, lunar commerce and such. Following Eric's call, Marshall called in from Texas to talk about how inspiring TSS has been for him. We also talking space mining issues with him, the use of robots and more. Our next caller was SLS John. John is a strong advocate for SLS and he again articulated the case for the completion of SLS. I challenged him again with the usual arguments against SLS which did not phase him. Dr. Jurist wanted to comment on what SLS John was saying so using another phone line, Dr. Jurist (Montana John) and SLS John had a lengthy and detailed exchange, both supporting heavy lift and SLS , although with reservations, especially from Montana John as you will hear in their discussion. Its an interesting discussion but I doubt it will change the minds of listeners regardless of how they see and think about SLS. That said, I strongly suggest you listen to their entire discussion many key points were addressed by both callers. As the show was ending, I went over some of the key upcoming guests scheduled for The Space Show. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. If you want to reach any of the callers, do so through drspace@thespaceshow.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 13 Jan 2014 17:47:53 UTC

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. Jack Zirker to the show to discuss his new book, "The Science of Ocean Waves: Ripples, Tsunamis, and Stormy Seas." Please note that this was a one hour one segment discussion. Dr. Zirker started our discussion by letting us know why he wrote this book and he told us about this interest in ocean waves. We covered many interesting topics including rogue and freak waves, 60-70 feet huge waves with the energy to cause lots of damage, tsunamis, currents, tides, and more. Listeners asked him several email questions while our guest described the wave process, wave movement, wave tipping over and breaking. We talked about tsunami movement across the oceans, the speeds at which a tsunami wave travels, and what you would feel if you were on a boat/ship in the open ocean and the tsunami wave moved by you. Our guest explained why these waves are so destructive. Dr. Zirker talked about the early science, oceanography, and forecasting work of Walter Monk, including his WW2 contribution in which he had to forecast wind and water movement to safely allow landing boats to make it to shore for D-Day. Don't miss this story. Listeners wanted to know about using wave energy as a source for renewable energy. Dr. Zirker described some projects around the world to experiment with this, plus he described the different types of equipment being used and considered for making this happen. We talked about large waves off the coat of Africa and also in the North Atlantic and North Sea , plus the Pacific Ocean. Listeners also wanted to know the relationship of space to oceanography and research. As you will hear, satellites are capable of tracking and providing information on a wide range of ocean issues and topics. One listener question inquired about tides for use in sustainable power generation projects . Dr. Zirker then told us about a French tide project that has been ongoing since the 1960's. Toward the end we compared the research fields and dollars going into the oceans and space. You might be surprised by what our guest had to say about this. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. You can contact Dr. Zirker through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.
