Jeff was our first caller regarding propulsion, SLS, Orion, SRBs, ATK, advanced technology as compared to existing or old technology, composite materials, and much more. I also asked him about sequestration in the defense side of space. Todd sent an email to Jeff to inquire what he thought about the possibility of an SLS cancelation. We talked about the possibility of canceling the SLS project due to economic issues with the government. Jeff also spoke about XCOR, ULA, Rocketdyne, pumps, and lower cost options with NewSpace companies. Charles Pooley called in to talk about the Indian Mars mission, the 4 stage PSLV rocket, and his forthcoming book due out before the end of the year. Tim sent in a STEM article & he called so we talked about the article but both of us did not think much of the author's comments on the subject. Next up was Doug from Southern California regarding articles about Bigelow and Lunar Cots. The use of SLS was discussed for commercial missions or public/private partnerships and I parted company from his analysis and conclusions. The articles suggested by Doug included www.parabolicarc.com/2013/11/12/50647 and www.newspacejournal.com/2013/11/12/bigelow-report-calls-for-use-of-cots-model-for-cislunar-transportation. As frequent listeners know, Doug is a strong advocate of lunar cots. I also asked him what the profitable commercial mission would for lunar cots. Mostly Doug talked about selling rides to NASA except with the SLS, they would be using a gov. vehicle. It’s an interesting discussion. What do you think about the ideas we talked about? Andrew from Tucson was our last caller and we learned he has been busy with precision tool and engineering for rocket parts. We also talked about the need for cultural changes in the country and he talked specifics in this area, not with generalizations. We also talked about astronomy, career paths, and telescopes. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. If you want to email any of the participants, you can do so through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Adam Johnson to the program for a fascinating discussion regarding the lost science, photography, and people behind the famous 2001: A Space Odyssey movie. In the first segment of this 1 hour 33 minute discussion, we talked about Adam's book, 2001: The Lost Science; The science and technology of the most influential film ever made. The book, published by Apogee Prime, is a large format, high resolution picture and fact book documenting the making of the 2001 movie. The people behind the movie and the science are both fact and photographed detailed, the models used and developed for the film are in the book, and little or unknown facts behind the making of this film are revealed, maybe for the first time. Adam talked at length about the science advisors including Fred Ordway, Arthur C. Clarke, Henry Lange, and others. He had much to say about Kubrick and his making of the film, plus his visit to the archives at the space center in Huntsville and getting those archives in order for research and for historical purposes. Adam found blueprints related to the film and so much more. He was asked about the movie sets and props and we learned that Kubrick ordered them destroyed after the film was made to keep them from being used in a B rated sci fi movie. Listeners asked about the science fiction in the movie largely becoming reality today. Mr. Johnson had much to say about the utopian viewpoint expressed in the movie, the fact that Russians actually visited the set and one was a spy. We even discussed the still photography, the two photographers, and black and white as compared to color photography. Doug asked about the large scale props in the moving having influence on our use of large scale space hardware for real such as in heavy lift the and the shuttle. At the end of the segment, we learned that Adam is working on Volume 2 to be released next year. Also, he mentioned the Kubrick and other view that only scientists and educated people, test pilots, and the like would ever be able to go to space. In the second segment, Dave Hook emailed in to ask if our guest could reference modern sci fi movies that would be icons like 2001. He mentioned two movies. Billy wanted to talk about Apollo 13 and the later film, Apollo 18. When Adam was asked what was most impactful to him, he mentioned the Russian story and the contributions by Fred. I asked about the theme song and Kubrick having taken it from the famous Strauss symphony. Adam gave us the fascinating history behind the use of this music. Hint: God , asking unanswerable questions about ourselves and our place in the universe. Near the end, we talked about modern day space having a legacy from this film. We also talked about the nuclear rocket and how the movie changed the lives of countless people that saw it. Please post comments/questions on TSS blog. Information about the book is at www.apogeeprime.com/prime/bookpages/9781926837192.html. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:35:27 UTC

Christopher (Chris) Stone, Sunday, 11-10-13 (56.78MB; download) -- Guest: Christopher Stone. Topics: Space advocacy and National Security Space regarding Chinese and American perceptions on space deterrence. 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 Christopher (Chris) Stone to the program for a 1 hour 44 minute discussion on space advocacy and an analysis of his recent Space Review article, "Re-thinking the National Security Space Strategy: Chinese vs. American perceptions of space deterrence" which appeared on TSR November 4, 2013. You can read the article at www.thespacereview.com/article/2395/1. Don't forget to read the comments associated with the article. During our first segment, we mostly talked about space advocacy issues. Chris was asked about advocacy groups both supporting and opposing SLS as an example of their possible effectiveness in influencing policy. As you will hear, it seems that the influence regardless of the position is marginal. Chris suggested that many advocacy groups are not that understanding as to who is in charge of space policy and how policy is made and how it works. He talked about policy coming from the congressional side, the White House, and industry. Often, both the Senate and House have at least a slightly different view of policy than the other policy participants. We also talked about unrealistic advocacy expectations and priorities. In the second segment, we talked about the article written by our guest for TSR per the URL above. Chris provided his perspective on our space deterrence policy as well as his perspective on the Chinese program, plus he talked about the Chinese perspective based on his readings and work in the field. Listeners asked questions such as the Chinese view on space settlement and their lunar plans. Another listener asked about the policy prohibiting NASA from talking with their Chinese counterparts. Doug called to talk about ASAT tests and the vulnerability of LEO, MEO, and GEO satellites. This discussion took us to one about the goals of responsive space strategies. Christ talked about space weapons and possible conflicts in and around space resource utilization. He was asked about a possible China cislunar type of program and here he referred to a 2011 Chinese White Paper regarding space resources including space solar power. As the program drew to a close, Chris was asked about other national space programs and his perspective on them in contrast to his thoughts on the China policy. Don't miss his closing comments. Post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog per above. You can contact Chris through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 11 Nov 2013 17:47:44 UTC

We welcomed Richard David back to the show for this special Thursday one hour discussion about New Space industry evaluations and the recently held Silicon Valley Space Center "Launching Commercial Space Enterprises" workshop. Richard started out talking about the workshop and the focus on markets and investors. Other topics included the essentials of building a viable business and the evaluations of emerging entrepreneurial companies by NewSpace Global (NSG) in the various lists and reports (see www.newspaceglobal.com). Richard talked about the variety of companies participating in the event ranging from SpaceX to very small startups and emerging companies. He said the group was very diverse representing all aspects of commercial space development and management styles. Richard then named several companies as examples. We talked about timelines for NewSpace company development and at one point I asked him to compare NewSpace times to Twitter which had just gone public. Twitter was started in March 2006 and we talked about the differences in challenges and other issues giving NewSpace longer timelines. I asked Richard to talk about commercial development over the past three years, what makes it different today from three years ago, and do we need a Netscape moment or steady growth. Richard was asked to tell us the major challenges or hurdles he believes exists for these emerging companies. He listed and discussed four such challenges. You might be surprised to find out that regulatory challenges were not among his top four hurdles. Toward the end of our discussion, I asked about business opportunities for human spaceflight. I also inquired about entrepreneurial opportunities from outside the U.S. Richard said 75% of the activity comes from with the United States. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. Richard can be contacted through his website. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Fri, 08 Nov 2013 17:41:48 UTC

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed our two guests to this 1 hour 35 minute discussion of their new book on GPS, its history, workings, uses, and more. Remember, if you buy this book through Amazon using the OGLF portal and instructions in our archives, on the blog, and on TSS website as well as OGLF's website, Amazon will contribute to The Space Show. If you need further instructions on how to do this, please let me know. During our first segment, Richard started out by telling us about the book and why he wrote it, then his meeting up with Eric to be his co-author. We talked about the early programs that led to GPS including the TRANSIT satellite system (NAVSAT), Naval Research Lab, plus other early tracking systems. We talked about timation and we also talked about the GPS systems in other countries such as Russia, Europe, India, and China. Eric explained why the book goes as far back as the Sputnik era and at times even earlier. Doug called in to ask about higher resolution GPS that could for example tell you traffic lane information. As you will hear, that capability is pretty much available now but the resolution and solutions depend on the GPS product one buys or that is a consumer product. We also talked about jamming and spoofing regarding the military GPS systems. Monroe called with questions about GPS Open Source and amateur rocketry, plus signal loss at high speed and 4 g's or more. Also in this segment, we talked about the consumer GPS voice wanting to know if it was a real woman's voice or a computer simulation. In the second segment, we talked more with Monroe and also about mapping issues as an overlay for the raw GPS data. Barry called regarding GPS and automatic flight control systems, then we talked some more with our guests regarding the early days leading up to the development of GPS. Toward the end, our guests mentioned the GPS contribution to our economic GNP! Classified issues were discussed in general but since none of us had a security clearance, classified GPS was just mentioned in passing. The website for the book is www.gpsdeclassified.com and I urge you to check it out Please post your comments/questions on TSS blog above. You can contact our two guests through me.

Dr. Anita Sengupta, Friday, 11-1-13 (58.40MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Anita Sengupta. Topics: Cold Atom Lab (CAL) project, human spaceflight EDL & 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.

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 Dr. Anita Sengupta to discuss the Cold Atom Lab (CAL) project for which Dr. Sengupta is the project manager. CAL is to launch to the ISS in early 2016, probably aboard the SpaceX Dragon though that has yet to be confirmed but the project needs a ride on a pressurized spacecraft. For more information on the CAL project and mission, check out these websites: http://coldatomlab.jpl.nasa.gov; http://coldatomlab.jpl.nasa.gov/news/FunPhysicsResearch. During this 64 minute discussion, Dr. Sengupta explained the CAL project to us, ultra cool quantum gasses in absolute zero and in zero gravity to establish a Force 3 environment which means no gravity pull. We talked about laser cooling and the series of experiments likely to be done on the ISS with CAL based on the NASA Research Announcement which has a submittal date of Nov. 5, 2013. We talked about atomic physics and many related topics, including the mechanics of the project, the need to place CAL in a rack as close to the center of gravity on the ISS as possible for the closest point to zero gravity. Listeners asked lots of questions about CAL, but they also had questions for Anita regarding her expertise in entry, descent, and landing (EDL) from her recent work with Curiosity and the super sonic parachute. In talking about human spaceflight, at one point Anita remarked that CAL was a hybrid project as it is definitely a robotic science mission but they interface with the ISS astronauts so CAL and the team have feet in both worlds. In talking about the CAL hardware, we learned it was designed as an ORU, an orbital replacement unit. Doug called in regarding EDL on Mars from Phobos and the use of strategically placed propellant depots in orbit around Mars and how that might simply a Martian EDL. Anita provided much technical information on this subject and we learned that the actual EDL is driven by the entry mass and the need to dissipate energy. She talked about the difference in a human EDL protocol and a robotic mission EDL protocol and said the human EDL has not yet been devised or worked out. Near the end of the program, Anita explained more about laser cooling, including photons pushing atoms which slows them down and makes them cooler. This enables more accurate laser tuning for the research. Susan asked her if she learned about the engineering for her project from grad school or from OJT. As you will hear, the basics from grad school and the specifics OTJ. Near the end of our program, we talked about the role of a project manager and auditing Anita's USC class which might be possible when she teaches an upcoming graduate class online. We also talked about career choices and would one rather work on a humans to Mars flight or robotic missions. Please post comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. Dr. Sengupta provided her contact information on air at the end of the program or you can email her through me if you prefer. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Sat, 02 Nov 2013 18:07:43 UTC

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. During the first segment of our 91 minute discussion with Mike, we talked about the lack of a coherent national space policy and how best to use tax payer dollars for the public good. Mike discussed the fact that there was no credible alternative to the RTM program, no clear path to any set of discernible goals. I asked Mike about NASAs asteroid redirect mission. He did say it had interesting potential and it was better than nothing but as listeners agreed, it was not a grabbing and inspiring program. Listeners asked Mike about Constellation which he said was a space system architecture. We talked about a lunar base and access to Mars. I asked Mike about the public's interest in space & you don't want to miss his response. Daniel brought up budget issues, commercial ventures, and the current administration. We also talked public/private partnerships and multi-year programs and policy challenges. Mike was asked about the VSE and bipartisan support though Jon emailed in his disagreement on that issue. Mike talked about goals as being important to congress and the need for an effective policy to have bipartisan support. Mike was asked about the ISS and the potential for discovery and we he responded to a listener question about the mass needed in orbit to support a lower mass on the Moon. The ratio is 10::1. In the second segment, June asked about economies of size in launch vehicles and heavy lift. Barbara emailed in about a COTS like program for HSF. Trent called from Australia to inquire about Stratolaunch. Doug called to ask about cislunar development and what a program that supported that development might look like. Mike had much to say on this subject, don't miss it. We talked extensively about the role of government and the private sector, including government subsidies. A listener talked about scientific discovery and serendipity. John asked about the Ares 1 vibration and solids in comparison to liquids for safety. John in Ft. Worth asked Mike about SLS and Orion as a capabilities holding program and Mike agreed. The idea is to maintain capabilities until the time they can be used. During the entire program, I asked Mike about his public service, how he dealt with attacks and criticism, and how he got his interest in space. This is an important discussion.
