We welcomed back Dr. Marcelo Vazquez back to discuss space radiation and mostly human spaceflight to Mars though we covered much ground dealing with space radiation, the risk to humans, mitigation and shielding, as well as policy issues. During the first segment of our 1 hour 38 minute program, we jumped right into it by my asking our guest about the radiation risks, exposure levels, and survival odds for both the Inspiration Mars mission and the Mars One effort to send settler to Mars on a one way mission starting late 2020 or 2021. This was a detailed and comprehensive discussion of the issues for these missions, the state of the art shielding availability, possible technology advancements, and more. We also talked about radiation & pregnancy on a Mars mission, radiation & a young child on Mars or in space, cosmic rays, solar events & extrapolations from radiation oncology. Doug called to ask about the need for a solar storm shelter in case of a solar particle event. Before the end of the first segment, we talked about ISS analogs, antioxidants, and electromagnetic shielding possibilities. In the second segment, Michael sent an article about the LRO analysis suggesting light weight materials and plastics might shield astronauts on the Moon. Dr. Vazquez said this was in keeping with what was known. Joel sent a note asking about RLIP76 and spaceflight, a subject on which our guest had much to say. Our guest went into detail about the radiation impact on a human system, including the destruction of blood vessels. In this light, I asked him about radiation and epithelial cells & if this was a show stopper for HSF, especially to Mars. Another question came in on antioxidants and while they might be helpful to some degree, they might also need to be taken at levels that are at or near toxic to humans. Another listener asked about radiation & telomeres, then we talked about valid analog space radiation studies here on Earth. I asked our guest about other nations doing HSF radiation research, then Jeff called in to discuss the Curiosity radiation findings and the regulatory questions involved since a person going to Mars would exceed the radiation dose allowed by existing OSHA & other regulations. We talked about the validity of Inspiration Mars as a research study & as the program ended, we talked about neurological and cognitive radiation impact & some tests Inspiration Mars crews could do in this area on the mission.

I started it out with some Space Show announcements, suggested topics for today's discussion, then I opened the phone lines for listener participation. Dr. Doug Haynes was our first caller. Doug is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Blue Ridge Nebula Starline (www.blueridgeairlines.com) and his sister site, www.bluenebula.com. Dr. Haynes talked about his vehicles, missions, propulsion, AST, orbital, suborbital and all HSF, his issues with zero gravity, green space technology, spaceports with the Front Range Airport as well as Denver International. Follow our discussion about his vehicles and pods via his Blue Nebula website above. Doug also told us about his books through the 3rd Wave Air Books which is linked to both his websites. I did mention Doug's very well known newsletter & how to visit his operation for those in and around the Denver area. Our next caller was Dr. Doug Plata from Southern California to discuss space radiation and our Monday guest, Dr. Marcelo Vazquez. Doug took us through several radiation risks and mitigation strategies. We talked about radiation and the Mars missions plus what might & might not be appropriate regarding taxpayer money or the cash equivalent regarding helping a private company do a HSF to Mars. Just before the break, questions came up about the upcoming SpaceX Falcon 9 Vandenberg launch. In our second segment, Tim Weaver was our first caller to talk about Skylon. There has been some recent press suggesting that the UK government my be interested in some funding with Skylon (www.sen.com/news/uk-pledges-fresh-support-for-revolutionary-space-engine.html). We talked about the UK space interests and program along with the astronaut safety issue mentioned earlier and by Rand Simberg in his recent program. John Hunt called in to talk about the Zubrin article on NASA's asteroid retrieval mission, then he said he doubted anything would become of Skylon. His last point pertained to astronaut safety per the Rand Simberg show and comments. He suggested that since the government flies astronauts for national prestige, safety would be extreme given the potential prestige damage resulting from an accident. Before the end, Doug sent in a note saying the Falcon 9 Vandenberg launch is currently set for Sept. 5th. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. You can reach any of the guests who called in today via their website or my email address. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Sun, 30 Jun 2013 22:25:11 UTC

We welcomed retired Skylab astronaut Jerry Carr back to the program to discuss the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (www.astronautscholarship.org) and the 40th anniversary of the Skylab space station. Jerry the discussion with an overview of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, the STEM college scholarships it awards each year, auctions held to support the scholarship program as well as sales off the gift store on their website. We then switched over to Skylab nothing that there will be a 40th anniversary celebration at KSC on July 27. You can find out more about this celebration on the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation website. I asked Jerry to describe for us one of his most memorable Skylab experiences and he talked about going into the command module flying over the Pacific and the views he saw as Skylab traveled in its orbit from Japan to the Pacific Northwest and more. This is a great description of his view, don't miss it. Listeners asked Jerry multiple questions about Skylab, his experiences on board, comparing Skylab to the ISS and Skylab to the Mir. We even talked about Skylab food and butter cookies, 0 g adaptation, close calls, and getting stuck in the center of Skylab. Later in the segment, Jerry talked about consulting for space station human design factors for the ISS, then budget issues for Skylab as compared to NASA budget issues of today. We also talked about lessons learned throughout the program. He was asked about inflatable commercial space stations & the time capsule they left on board when they departed the station. In the second segment, a listener asked if the time capsule was recovered or could have survived reentry. Another listener asked about the Skylab data still coming under analysis, then I asked about his public speaking engagements and if he could spot trends over time in terms people's interest in space and science. Jerry had much to say in response to several questions on this theme so don't miss them. Tony wanted to know about space radiation issues, Mars One, & artificial gravity with tethers. Near the end, a listener brought up the recent interview with Rand Simberg and his space safety argument in his new book, "Safe Is Not An Option." We talked about risk taking, the mission, even risk taking landing on carriers and flying combat missions with the Marines. He thought there might be too much risk averseness out of politically correct thinking but don't miss all of his comments on this subject. Our final topic focused on art with his wife Pat. Check out their exhibit, OUR FRAGILE HOME at www.camusart.com. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. You can contact our guest through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

Visit the Teachers In Space website for more information: http://tis.spacefrontier.org. During our 1 hour 4 minute discussion with our guests, Bob Werb did a brief Space Frontier Foundation and Teachers In Space overview and update. Bob put forth a very strong and excellent case for both stem and space education and why The Space Frontier Foundation and the Teachers In Space were focusing on STEM. Don't miss what Bob said. Dr. Kring then spoke to the ongoing human factors and space medicine workshop including spacesuit design projects and more. Liz talked about Teachers In Space, the teachers involved in the programs, rules for the program, and the need for and importance of STEM inspiration for the teachers to take back to their students in the classroom. Also the need for funding for special projects. Listeners asked about broadening the program to Liberal Arts and non-STEM teachers, plus making the program available to grade school, middle school, and even college professors. We talked about funding grants, funding restrictions, and new sources of funding including a new crowd funding program about to be launched by Teachers In Space on RocketHub.

Please remember that your Amazon Purchases Can Help Support The Space Show/OGLF (http://www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm). We welcomed Rand Simberg back to the program for this 1 hour 47 minute discussion regarding his about to be released book, "Safe is Not An Option."(http://safeisnotanoption.com). Check out the book summary: http://safeisnotanoption.com/book-summary. During our first hour, Rand explained the production challenges he has had with the book, the name change from last fall, & delays. He compared similarities with a book printing production run to the launch/flight rate. With both he said one needs to get the rate way up there for economies of scale. For the balance of our discussion, we talked about human spaceflight risk taking, the regulatory environment of today, & potential risks to this regulatory environment down the road after 2015. Rand supports individual choice & believes that regulation regarding flight safety would be detrimental to this developing industry. The subtitle of the book makes Rand's case: "Overcoming The Futile Obsession With Getting Everyone Back Alive That Is Killing Our Expansion Into Space." Jim emailed to ask Rand to compare the risk taken by Virgin & XCOR flight participants with risky terrestrial ventures. Rand suggested this would depend on the informed consent documents required under current FAA regulations. Trent asked about one way trips to Mars & Mars One. This brought up the discussion of space ethics & the Mars One position of pregnancy & childbirth as an ethical issue, not a personal choice issue as is the decision to do a one way trip to Mars. Rand stressed that his book has to do with people taking their own risk, not the government, regulators, or policy makers dictating risk taking. In the second segment, we fielded several questions from Curt on risk taking & Congress, plus he asked Rand about the nomad gene. Another listener emailed in a question focused on the role of the media in helping to make space important beyond the space community. Another listener wanted to know if Rand could see a day where to avoid government regulation, private human spaceflight would take place outside the United States. I asked Rand about feedback he has received regarding his book & thesis, his interest in a Washington, DC media event upon the book's release, selling the book at the upcoming NewSpace 2013 Conference, & if in his research, he came across papers, books, or other works advocating similar positions to his. During the entire discussion, Rand repeated his understanding that space is not important to the policy makers. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. Rand can be reached through his own blog on the About page at Transterrestrial Musings at www.transterrestrial.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 26 Jun 2013 15:33:16 UTC

Note that about 1 hour six minutes 20 seconds into this program, we had a power fluctuation for about 30 seconds. Please excuse the interruptions in our recording as a result of the brief outage. We welcomed Dr. Gilbert (Gil) Levin to the program for this 1 hour 25 minute broadcast. For more information, please visit Dr. Levin's website, www.gillevin.com. We started our interview with a question from Leonard David asking "why is NASA running away from answering the life on Mars question?" Dr. Levin said he had been asking the same question for 37 years and suggested several reasons including no organics, thus no life, religion, a conspiracy theory, and the most likely scenario in that such an announcement would delay or possibly prohibit human flights to Mars. Dr. Levin went into more detail on each of these reasons, then later in the discussion Doug called in and suggested another reason, the fear of failure. Dr. Levin talked about his experiments during this segment, the results so far, and the meaning. He was asked many listener questions including one about perchlorates on Mars, liquid water, and searching for life via other Mars instruments including Curiosity. Sandra emailed in a question about the religious paradigm he had mentioned earlier and Curt asked a series of questions including the subject of radiation. We talked about the private sector taking on more and more of the Mars searching for life missions, then Dr. Levin talked about the need for a fresh look at the Viking data by a truly objective panel. He said all of the data was online and accessible. John called with a series of questions/comments just before our break. In the second segment, we talked about Complexity Analysis & the Wave Guide Theory. Several questions came in regarding the Viking Labeled Release Experiments, then Gil was asked if initially he had anticipated the level of controversy resulting from Viking. A listener asked about detecting DNA like molecules on Mars and Gil explained why DNA would not work. Many other topics & issues were discussed including his patents & other research so don't miss this interview. We also talked about using Kickstarter to fund a fresh, objective look at the Viking data. Post your comments/questions on TSS blog per above. You can email Dr. Levin at the address he provided at the end of the program. You can also see his Mars papers and work on his website.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Rob Kelso, Executive Director of PISCS, to the program. During the first segment of our 1 hour 28 minute program, Mr. Kelso not only introduced us to the Pacific International Space Center (PISCES) in Hawaii, but also to the long standing space related traditions & history with the state of Hawaii. As our discussion was held on the summer solstice, this certainly contributed to making Rob's Hawaii space historical summary most interesting & relevant. Rob noted the role played by Hawaii as an analog site for the Apollo training and newer robotic missions. In fact, much of our discussion focused in on features within Hawaii that are being used more and more for space analog sites, insitu learning, 3 D printing methodology, and technical development. Rob talked about the PISCES engagement of both public and private sectors & the need to help develop 21st century skills within the Hawaiian aerospace industry. Also discussed in this segment were the relationships with other NASA centers, both for human spaceflight as well as robotic and science missions. In our second segment, we talked about the PISCES signing of six memoranda of understanding. While Rob had something to say about each project, you can read a good summary of these important projects at www.hawaii247.com/2013/04/25/pisces-signs-six-memoranda-of-understanding. Also in this segment, we talked about the HI-SEAS Project (http://hi-seas.org). HI-SEAS is the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation planetary surface exploration analog site at 8,500 feet on the side of Mauna Loa, focusing on research for food preparation strategies for long duration HSF. Rob talked about HI-SEAS quite a bit so don't overlook what he had to say about this program. Later, Doug called in regarding the RESOLVE Program which PISCES participates in with goals of creating O2 & rocket fuel by melting moon rocks to help support humans living on the Moon. Rob then talked about the Robotic Search & Rescue Program and telerobotics. This led to a discussion about communication latency issues, even with the Moon. When asked about State of Hawaii and PISCES objectives, he said near term included showing an ROI to the state with longer term goals of having a state technology research park contributing to all aspects of education, STEM, & space development in the state. Christine emailed in a question about the biggest challenges faced by Hawaii and PISCES, especially since other states are also motivated to building up their space and STEM industries. His response was most interesting. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog per the above URL. You can email Rob Kelso through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

We welcomed Brice Russ to the program for a one hour Yuri's Night 2013 wrap up discussion. For more information, visit their main website, http://yurisnight.net. During our hour long discussion with Brice, we talked about Yuri's Night, its history, goals, and we compared the 2013 year which just ended to earlier years. For 2013, we learned that there were over 350 parties worldwide in 57 countries. This was about 100 more than last year. We learned that there was a Yuri's Night event from the ISS and also Curiosity on Mars! Some of the parties drew several thousand people, we talked about the big party in Los Angeles at the California Science Center under Space Shuttle Endeavour. Other specifically mentioned parties included the one at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, the party in Reno, and the Washington, DC "Space Burlesque Show" which was part of Yuri's Night. Listeners sent in many email questions and suggestions. They wanted to know about parties for young school age kids, fraternity or sorority parties on college campuses, even parties at military basis or on naval ships at sea. Brice also took us through the timeline for the 2014 Yuri's Night parties, website registration, volunteering to help out, and more. During our discussion, Brice suggested several related Yuri's Night websites and their new newsletter which you can sign up for if interested. Most of these additional sites can be accessed through their main website above but if you want to visit one of the other sites & don't see the link for it, just use the direct URL Brice provided on air. One listener asked Brice what other space event in addition to Yuri's Night he would want to celebrate. Both Brice and I said the Apollo 11 flight and our Moon program. Brice used the opportunity to talk about how Yuri's Night supports other space events and programs. When asked if the Yuri's Night organization supported any specific space policy, the answer was no other than human spaceflight. Toward the end of our segment, I asked Brice what seemed to work regarding space education outreach. You don't want to miss his response to this question. After our hour with Brice ended, I came back for a very short period to go over the future Space Show schedule and to make a few announcements including our Amazon announcement.
