During the first segment of our 90 minute discussion, Mr. Ruck talked about his own background and he came to seeing the importance of NASA and being an astronaut so he decided to do a documentary type film on the subject. He describes how he selected Blair to be the subject of the film as the crew follows Blair and his space interests through high school into his enrollment and taking the oath for entering the Naval Academy. He also made the point of saying he was not a space advocate at the time he was making the film but that this was a learning process for him and he certainly is an advocate now. Note that he has a focus on NASA and our public space program which he repeated many times over as being owned by we the people so we can & should demand better and expect more. He repeated over and over again that space travel and work is a public benefit. He also spoke about the need for better STEM programming and results and held the film's star, Blair, up to the light as a an example for not only STEM but for showing the value of space to everyone he comes in contact with out in the public. Mr. Ruck talked about our national and individual priorities, all the time making the case for space. The film has a website, www.theastronautfilm.com which I recommend you visit for more information, to set up local screenings and topic discussions plus lots more. the Director's Blog is on the website but David also spoke about the website Tumblr and blogs, http://sagansense.tumblr.com and astronautfilm.tumblr.com. One of the questions asked our guest was about there being a separate space track at the Naval Academy. While David did not know, he did suggest that up to 50% of the Midshipmen were interested in going to space. In the second segment, we talked more on STEM, robotics, and science. David talked about his process in his area for capitalizing on student robotic interests, highlighting First Robotics. A listener asked about the film's length which is under 40 minutes. David said it was specifically made with film festivals in mind and that being 40 minutes or under was a requirement. I asked him about the role of Cecil Gregory in the film as Cecil has been a Space Show guest in the past. David had much to say about Greg's STEM work and we talked about his newly acquired support for NewSpace and the commercial space industry. His take away for our discussion was "Always Do Your Best," something he learned from Blair while making this film. Post comments/questions on TSS blog.

Add this to another station Dr. Ajay Kothari, Tuesday, 4-29-14 (96.12MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Ajay Kothari. Topics: Rocket reusability, 1st 2nd stage reusability, space tourism, & 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.

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 Dr. Ajay Kothari to the show to discuss first stage and full rocket reusability. During the first segment of our 1 hour 44 minute discussion, Dr. Kothari opened with references to his April 14, 2014 Space Review article, "Robust and Reusable." I suggest you read this article and have it handy as a reference as you listen, http://thespacereview.com/article/2490/1. Dr. Kothari explained his model and analysis process to evaluate the costs and economics for rocket reusability options. Our guest goes through his models and scenarios for us, notes that they are only for TSTO rockets (2 stage to orbit), plus he identifies his analysis and software tools. His analysis led him to understanding the importance of the First Unit Production Cost (FUPC) and how this is a killer without a high rocket launch rate. Dr. Kothari then talked about the possibilities for space tourism. As you will hear, he thinks much more of orbital tourism over suborbital tourism which is understandable when you see his costing, price points, percentage of net income being spent on the flight, & a few other parameters. When asked if he thought orbital space tourism would be the economic driver for rocket reusability, he said he thought it had the potential to be a significant contributor to it. Listener Paul asked him about the reusability penalty due to added mass for a reusable rocket. Ajay said they addressed that in their model and suggested a reusable rocket capable of the same payload and destination as an expendable would need to be 2-4 times the size of the expendable! John from Ft. Worth was a caller with many questions but near the end of this segment, he asked for Ajay's thoughts on the SpaceX reusable system and process. Our guest thought highly of the SpaceX effort, process, and concept. We also talked about both flyback and boostback options. In our second segment, Dr. Jurist called in and addressed efficiencies in the learning curve which benefit expendables over reusables though our guest was quick to point out that after decades we still cannot build on these learning curve efficiencies to move further out with expendables in technology and cost reduction. Dr. Kothari and John spoke about the flight rate b/e point which is largely unknown. I then asked our guest about full rocket reusability and his ideas for a hypersonic second stage to orbit and back. Dr. Kothari spent time with us during the balance of our program discussing his concept. We even discussed point to point transportation as a result of this model and he suggested the innovative idea of combining limited orbital space tourism with P to P to make it more acceptable. Don't miss his explanation of this idea.To read the balance of this summary, please visit www.thespaceshow.com or http://thespaceshow.wordpress.

We welcomed Dr. Nicola Sarzi-Amade and John Spencer to the program to discuss this year's ISDC 2014 conference to be held at the Los Angeles Sheraton Gateway Hotel from May 14-18, 2014. The theme of this years conference is "A Space Renaissance." For more information and to follow our one hour discussion in one segment, visit www.isdc.nss.org/2014. We started our discussion with John setting the stage for ISDC 2014 and today's rapidly evolving space industry. Nicola talked about the 11 tracks which are all detailed on the ISDC website. For full information about the tracks, panels, and track speakers & coordinators, see http://isdc.nss.org/2014/tracks.html. As you will hear, some tracks go for the entire length of the conference, others only for a day or two. Nicola highlighted many of the speakers, track c-chairs, & more. Both our guests stressed the Los Angeles benefits including connections to the film industry and terrific sites to see, several of which are available on ISDC special tours including SpaceX, JPL, and the Griffith Observatory. Nicola also talked about dinner and lunch speakers as well as the morning keynote speakers. Note that while keynotes are in progress, there are no competing tracks going on at the same time. We also talked about awards going to Elon Musk and Gwynne Shotwell. Check out the featured speakers at http://isdc.nss.org/2014/speakers-vip.html and the meal & plenary speakers at http://isdc.nss.org/2014/speakers-meals.html. Conference registration has many options from full conference registration to daily registration. Also, hotel registration is available through the ISDC website. We also learned that the overflow hotel is almost adjacent to the Sheraton Gateway but if you register early, you can still get the Sheraton Gateway at the conference rate. our guests highlighted some of the special areas of expertise for many guests. For example, when talking about Tabor, John discussed Inspiration Mars and the World View program. Near the end, we learned that there is an ISDC Meet UP at the end of the conference Sunday afternoon. If you can stay, don't miss this event. Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog. You can reach John or Nicola through me.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. Welcome to our Open Lines discussion. During the first segment of our two hour seven minute show, I went over suggested topics including the upcoming SpaceX lawsuit, reusability, the Earth-like planet discovered by Kepler, ISDC 2014 & more. By far, the topic of choice for the entire program was SpaceX reusability though the other topics did come up during both segments of the program. Doug from S. California called first and took up most of the first segment to praise SpaceX reusability, to let us know his thoughts on the subject and the type of assumption making he uses. While I agree on the importance of the success of the SpaceX reusability work so far, I had a departure from Doug on his conclusions and analysis. Doug was unflinching in his approach to the subject, his analysis, his assumption making process, and his conclusions. I repeatedly asked for aerospace engineers to call in to give us their views on the subjects as Doug and I do not work in the field nor are we engineers. Unfortunately, that did not happen until the very end of the show when Dr. Lurio called in about some of the issues Doug and I talked about. So you listen and decide. If you have comments and thoughts about our discussion, post them for all to see and learn from on TSS blog. During our discussion, Kelly, another John, and others sent critical emails to me to read on air. We also talked about pricing strategy, reusable penalties, and Doug's unwavering support in the public discussion comments by SpaceX executives. In the second segment, John called in from Ft. Worth to clarify what he had said a few months back given that Doug recalled the comments and mentioned them during his call. John had much to question about reusability, especially with a fly back booster to a land designation. He talked about economics, reusable launch penalties for added mass and fuel, plus ideas for water landing locations. I repeated the comments offered on launch penalties made by Ms. Shotwell when she was on the show last month. She said the Falcon rockets were designed for reusability so any launch penalties were already factored in and discounted so there were none. We also talked Falcon Heavy & how it might benefit from reusability. Tim called from Huntsville to talk about heavy lift & delays in depot turnaround times. I asked listeners if anyone had seen the Al Jazeera America Fault Line documentary last week, "Space, Inc." I gave my opinion that it was a type of hatchet job on private/commercial space.

This will help me bring better programming to the audience. We welcomed David Steerman Scott & Richard Jurek to the show to discuss their excellent new book, "Marketing the Moon: The Selling of the Apollo Lunar Program" (www.marketingthemoon.com). This was a 75 minute show without a break. We started out talking about how the two authors met & decided to collaborate in writing this book. As you will hear, both are marketing experts and when they met they wondered why the marketing side of the Apollo program had not been written about so they decided to do it. Not only is their book & this discussion about lessons learned, possible extrapolation points, & seldom if never heard history, it offers answers to many questions asked of guests & listeners on TSS but this time we got some answers that make sense. Our guests talked about the massive NASA PR & outreach campaign launched to sell the early space program, plus the work the contractors did on their own with media kits, training the press how to handle the science/engineering to be able to explain it to us & more. We talked about the time period, the U.S. at the time of Apollo, television then and now as well as newspapers & print media then & now. Our guests also talked about the distribution today for PR & information which is radically different from the days of Apollo. Both our guests described important attributes for a space program to work. Some of these included a quest story, defined mission goals, targeted goals & timelines, the need to avoid mission design creep, the need for a global imperative, & a WHY for the mission that drives the mission. Examples were provided including the Red Bull Stratos jump which did all of the above & the VSE under President Bush which came up lacking. Listeners asked lots of email questions including asking if a mission could sell itself with demonstrated engineering, technology, and science. The answer was doubtful but listen to what our guests had to say about this issue. We talked about missed opportunities over time as great opportunities for audacious and daring projects seldom come around. They talked about a missed opportunity at the time of 9/11 by going for the Iraq War instead of an Apollo like world game changing program, even one not involved with space. Later in our discussion, our guests provided us with one of the best reasons for going back to the Moon & doing space programs, especially for human spaceflight. I'm referring to Apollo changing the world forever for the best by spawning youngsters to create Microsoft, Apple, Intel, etc. Read the rest of this summary @ www.thespaceshow.com or http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com.

We welcomed back to Hotel Mars Dr. Haym Benaroya from Rutgers University. Dr. Benaroya discussed the NASA LADEE mission, lunar dust issues, the lunar surface, the importance our astronauts returning to the Moon and the Lunar Dust Experiment which so far has proven to be inconclusive regarding the questions it was to solve. Dr. Benaroya went over the toxic and corrosive nature of lunar dust to both humans and equipment, had similar things to say about Martian dust, and talked about how important it is for us to go back to the Moon. He also made the point that we should have a permanent settlement on the Moon and not just use it as a way station stepping stone to Mars, abandoning it again once we are on Mars. The three of us discussed the LADEE project in detail (as much detail as we could in this short segment). We also talked about its end which should come April 21 by crashing into the far side of the Moon. Please post any comments/questions you might have on The Space Show blog.

During the first segment of our 1 hour 29 minute program, Brett introduced us to the concept of space burial and in particular the new start-up, Elysium Space Burial. He went over their services and their marketing to both customers in the U.S. as well as Japan where cremation is the common thing. He gave us some interesting funeral industry statistics for both the U.S. and Japan and we learned that they have a Japanese language website, http://jp.elysiumspace.com. We talked about their launch services which he said would likely be with SpaceX or Orbital but in any event they only plan to use a U.S. launcher. Also, they do not at this time have plans for suborbital launches, only orbital launches and from the established launch sites. We talked about their expansion plans to BLEO services and learned of their mobile app which you can get from their website for Apple and Droid products. The company has seven employees, some of which are part time. In the second segment, I asked Brett how his company differed from the competition. He talked about the personalized services they provide plus their intended use of dedicated spacecraft. He also talked about the media and PR received by the firm in their first year of operations. Listeners asked for his process when working with a completed kit, and if their memorial services were non-denominational which they are. Blair emailed asking about their plans to use smaller launchers such as Microlaunchers. Brett said not yet but possibly down the road. Alex asked about using government launches over private mission launches. Others wanted to know more about their future plans and what countries they had their eyes as future markets. India was mentioned as one such company. When asked for their 5-7 year plan, Brett spoke about driving the costs down and launching 5-7 memorial flights per year. Near the end, a listener asked about green funerals and Pooley emails us asking about their plans for a fast decaying LEO. Also in this segment and in the conclusion, Brett offered a special deal for Space Show listeners so don't miss it. Please put comments/questions on The Space Show blog above.

Our Open Lines discussion started with my providing scheduling announcements as there will be no live shows the week of April 21 due to medical issues I need to address. Rather than play specific OLDIE programs which I usually do in the absence of a live show, I suggested that listeners go through the archives and listen to an archived show or two of their choice, compare what you heard on the archived show to similar issues in space today, then call our next special Open Lines show which will probably be Sunday, April 27 and share your thoughts and perspectives with us. For this Open Lines program, I also suggested a few discussion topics including Russia's Putin saying "We are coming to the Moon FOREVER" as reported in the MailOnline on April 11, 2014. You can read the article I discussed on the show at www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2602291/We-coming-Moon-FOREVER-Russia-sets-plans-conquer-colonise-space-including-permanent-manned-moon-base.html. It reported Russia wanted to go to the Moon, colonize it and stay there as Russia was viewing the Moon as its own permanent colony along with similar colonies it wants to establish on Mars and asteroids. Putin also mentioned Russia was in a race to the Moon. TO READ THE BALANCE OF THIS SUMMMARY, PLEASE VISIT EITHER WWW.THESPACESHOW.COM OR HTTP://THESPACESHOW.WORDPRESS.COM.
