David Hook, Monday, 3-11-13 (44.73MB; download) -- Guest: David Hook. Topics: General and business aviation security, General Aviation Security Magazine. 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.

We welcomed David Hook back to the program to discuss general aviation security and the new magazine addressing general aviation issues, General Aviation Security. You can learn more about the magazine by visiting http://gasecuritymagazine.sharepoint.com. In the first segment of our 90 minute discussion, David talked about what defines general aviation as compared to the commercial airline industry with a scheduled time table. General aviation has no scheduled time table, operating on demand or at the convenience of someone. Listeners asked our guest if the FAA and TSA were planning to have some sort of security for the suborbital tourism flights when they start. Our guest said the FAA had complete jurisdiction over suborbital flights, not the TSA, but that security measures, if any, were not known at this time. We also talked about the size and scope of general aviation in the country which is approximately 3/4ths of all airline flights in the U.S. Our guest introduced us to the General Aviation Security Magazine, the type of articles it contains, the writers, and how interested listeners and others can submit an article if they are interested in doing so. In our second segment, we talked about pilot training, accidents and security, especially since the accident rates are higher in general aviation than in the commercial aviation industry. Mr. Hook also told us that the company Magzter would soon be distributing the magazine and that they would have an iPhone and iPad app. For more about the distribution, he suggested visiting www.magzter.com or when the app is released, through the app newsstand. Listeners asked more questions about submitting articles to the magazine for publication and Dave suggested sending in a query letter before writing the article to make sure the article would be on an acceptable topic. His address for sending him your query letters is Planehook@hotmail.com. In discussing listeners submitted articles, he said some photos were welcome with the necessary releases. He also said that they do not do equipment reviews. Another topic discussed was using the economic strength of the general aviation industry as an indicator for a recovering and strong U.S. economy. Dave said the business component of general aviation might suggest an economic indicator as it would indicate business spending going up which should indicate a healthier industry. Listener Jerry asked about using English as the language for business and general aviation international flights & Dave pointed us to the ICAO rules. Dave brought up the fact that their appeared to be a bigger drop off of women pilots in recent years than men. We also talked about special security protocols in place for flying into Washington, DC and the three business airports within that region. We even talked about the need to have a weapon on board when flying into our nation's capital. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. You can email David hook at his address below. Check out General Aviation Security Magazine. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:25:53 UTC

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. We welcomed John Oehler to the program to discuss his book, "Aphrodesia: A Novel of Suspense," which focuses on creating a perfume scent based on the fragrance used by the Queen of Sheba to seduce King Solomon. It’s a great murder mystery which you will enjoy, but it also opened the door for us to discuss smell, space, Mars, the smell of the insides of a space vehicle, and more. If you buy the book at Amazon using this link, www.amazon.com/Aphrodesia-Novel-Suspense-John-Oehler/dp/1477680306/ref=onegiantlea20.com, Amazon will make a contribution to The Space Show/OGLF. During the first hour of this two hour program, we talked about perfumes, scents, biblical references to the same, and then we talked about smell and fragrance in space. Our guest had much to say about the ISS as well as the shuttle. We talked about perfume schools, specifically ISIPCA which was the school used for the book. Another issue that came up was determining what was in an ancient scent given archaeological findings of perfume bottles, containers and such. Other issues regarding scent were discussed including pheromones, fragrance R&D, and the possible use of fragrances to have a more cooperative or supportive mission effort on a long duration human spaceflight. In our second segment, we talked about their being a smell of Mars and if any of our rovers could detect it. John also thought having a simple microphone on a Mars rover to record the sounds from Mars would be worth doing. In this segment we returned to talking about John's book and the lead character Eric as the story is a very good mystery story. Doug emailed and called in regarding smell, olfactory neurons and chemical bonding, and he asked about certain dog sniffer behaviors. This opened up an entire new line of discussion regarding the sense of smell of dogs and also the People Sniffer used by our military during the Vietnam war. Toward the end of the show, our guest talked about Sherlock Holmes and TV shows based on that character, plus we talked about ethical issues using fragrance to manipulate consumers to buying this or that product. Our last topic had John telling us about the memory of astronauts regarding the smell of space and why bananas are no longer taken to space for fresh food for the astronauts. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. Visit John's website for more information at www.johnoehler.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:42:58 UTC

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, Friday, 3-8-13 (30.96MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Topics: Dr. Tyson's book, "Space Chronicles: Facing The Ultimate Frontier," delusional thinking, space exploration, space economic power. 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.

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. We welcomed backed Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to this 60 minute discussion about the new release of the paperback version of his current book, "Space Chronicles: Facing The Ultimate Frontier." If you buy the book with this Amazon link, Amazon will make a contribution to The Space Show/OGLF: http://www.amazon.com/Space-Chronicles-Facing-Ultimate-Frontier/dp/0393343626/ref=onegiantlea20. The book is a collection of all of Dr. Tyson's thoughts about the past, present, and future in space. It consists of essays, tweets, op-eds and more, plus an appendix with important documents such as the original agreement creating NASA in the late 1950s. Neil said that some of the points he made in the book were that space was expensive and that we do things in space for one of two reasons: 1. As a result of military threat or war; 2: In support of economic growth of the country. He then supported his argument with historical facts, making the point that we do not explore for the sake of exploring, that exploration is not in our DNA, that we do not go into space to inspire future generations of kids, and then he even mentioned that the famous JFK Rice University speech which he said was a lie in that weeks before in a speech before Congress, President Kennedy put forth the real reason we were going to the Moon which was to show the world a path of freedom over tyranny. Dr. Tyson documents this on p. 192 of his book by saying that "Kennedy did adopt a military posture in his speech to Congress." Neil stressed this point during our discussion in support of the above reasons for developing. More about this speech can be found at www.history.com/this-day-in-history/jfk-asks-congress-to-support-the-space-program. The actual text of the speech can be seen at www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/xzw1gaeeTES6khED14P1Iw.aspx.

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. We welcomed Yonatan Winetraub as our guest to discuss SpaceIL, Israel's Google Lunar X-Prize entry. Mr. Winetraub founded SpaceIL through an interesting set of experiences and conversations at a local Israeli establishment. He tells us this interesting story as we begin our one hour discussion. At age 26, Yonatan proves that much can be done with passion, commitment, education, volunteers, and local industry support. During our discussion, Yonatan told us about the SpaceIL plans, the lunar hopper that they will land on the Moon, and their process in procuring a secondary launch contract for the launch capable of putting their lander on a trajectory to the Moon and landing in time to win the Google Lunar X-Prize contest. One issue we discussed in detail was the fact that their secondary payload would have propulsion on board making it challenging to be approved as a secondary payload by the primary payload on the launcher. In fact, Charles both emailed and called at the end of the program to raise the propellant issue for secondary payloads. SpaceIL as a nonprofit, is also engaged in STEM and education outreach in Israel and this too was a significant part of our discussion. Yonatan got questions about commercial space and space attitudes in Israel and the treatment of their venture by the Israeli general public and press, both in Israel and internationally. The Google Lunar X-Prize competition was discussed as well as their funding and plans for after the contest ends. Given that SpaceIL is consulting with American companies, we talked about our ITAR laws as well as the Israeli ITAR laws and regulations. The SpaceIL website is www.spaceil.com and I urge you to follow along on the site while listening to this discussion. If you have comments/questions for Yonatan Winetraub, please post them on the blog and I will call them to his attention. You can also email him through drspace@thespaceshow.com. We will certainly be talking with Yonatan again as they progress in the competition. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:53:23 UTC

Dr. Henry Hertzfeld, Tuesday, 3-5-13 (47.08MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Henry Hertzfeld. Topics: Commercial space, Mars, human spaceflight, regulations & economics. 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. We welcomed Dr. Henry Hertzfeld back to the show for a fascinating 90 minute discussion regarding commercial space, human spaceflight (HSF), recently announced HSF Mars missions, increasing the launch rate, and more. During our initial segment, Dr. Hertzfeld addressed my question about lowering launch prices to increase the launch rate. Dr. Hertzfeld did a classic economic study on this subject several years ago and I asked him if today's current market and commercial space progress had altered his earlier conclusions. He said no. Later, I asked if space solar power (SSP) could drive launch rates down. The short answer was no but don't miss what he had to say about SSP economics, launches, and debris issues. Jerry emailed in a question about SpaceX being a commercial company given its receipt of government money. Henry had much to say about what makes a company commercial or not and if it is even an important issue. Another listener wanted to know about the deep space commercial ventures announced in 2012 and in 2013. The listener wanted to know if these were really commercial ventures, if regulations could stop them, and what would happen re the ventures needing property rights or the equivalent. One of the things our guest reiterated several times during our discussion was the need for stability and predictability for the commercial industry. Questions came in about benefit sharing and he mentioned the likelihood that some sort of international system would develop on these issues. I asked what constituted an acceptable ROI and the example of controlled ROIs as in the utility industry came up. Doug wanted to know about rocket reusability and its impact on launch costs. We also talked about both Mars One and the new Inspiration Mars mission. As part of this discussion, astronaut rescue and the rescue treaty were discussed. In the second segment, Doug called to discuss property rights for a NEO as opposed to the Moon, wondering if the Moon might be more valuable. Doug & Henry talked about our having returned lunar rockets as a model for commercially returning lunar products but Henry suggested there might be a difference in returning something for science as compared to commercial exploitation. Later, we addressed human spaceflight and its challenges. The Chinese space program was brought up as was the risk of a space war. Dr. Hertzfeld was asked about putting 10,000 people on Mars, space migration, species survival, space settlement, and the need to explore as possible drivers for HSF. My final question pertained to our evolving to a business friendly environment in space. Simply put, we are not there yet. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above.

Henry Vanderbilt, Monday, 2-4-13 (44.84MB; download) -- Guest: Henry Vanderbilt. Topics: Space Access Conference 2013 & Planetary Defense 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.

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. We welcomed back Henry Vanderbilt for our annual program in support of the upcoming Space Access Conference to be held in Phoenix, Arizona from April 11-13, 2013. For detailed conference information, hotel & conference registration, and for speaker and program information, please visit www.space-access.org. During the first hour of our 90 minute program, Henry described the conference, talked about many of the speakers, and the issues facing the general space industry as well as commercial space for 2013. He also talked about other national space programs and how they were moving forward with their space budgets and plans, even in the commercial space world. Near the end of the first segment, we covered the conference logistics in some detail, including registration and hotel information. All of this is available on their website. In the second segment, Henry spoke about planetary defense issues in their latest newsletter issue. You can read this issue at www.space-access.org/updates/sau130.html. Henry went over the planetary defense issues based on the observations of Comet 2012-A1 which may be headed for Mars. He asked the question what if this comet were headed for Earth and we knew about it at least two years before reaching Earth. Could we do anything about it? He concluded that we might be able to deflect it and put forth his deflection scenarios in the newsletter and our on air discussion. For the most part, his concept makes use of hydrogen bombs exploding near the comet before it reaches Earth. The explosions heat up one side of the comet causing a sort of exhaust from the volatiles slightly changing the course of the comet. Not only will you find this to be an interesting discussion but I urge you to read his paper on the subject as he goes into detail about the energy needed, how to do it, the launch issue, etc. He said that the political and leadership issues were probably more challenging than the technical challenges. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog per above. You can email Henry about the conference or with other questions using space.access@mindspring.com. If you want to subscribe to the conference newsletters and the Space Access mailings such as the newsletter, send your request to this email address and Henry will add you to the list.

Wayne White, Sunday, 3-3-13 (75.39MB; download) -- Guest: Wayne White. Topics: Space real property rights, salvage law and mining law 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.

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. We welcomed back Wayne White, noted space attorney, for an excellent discussion on real space property rights, space salvage law & space mining law. Given the amount of email and listener calls during the program, we went to 2.5 hours! Wayne started us out with about a 20 plus minute overview of space and related property rights today, the governing U.N. treaties, & the problems ambiguity causes in the financial and investment worlds. He also gave us good working definitions for both common law and natural law. He spent some time discussing this in terms of establishing property rights in space. This discussion included territorial property rights stemming from sovereignty as well. I believe Wayne's introduction to the subject was most useful in giving us the basic understanding of the issues so we could move forward with our discussion in the program to possible solutions and why some possible solutions would not work. After Wayne finished his introduction, I offered some challenges to his assumptions and we fielded several listener emails and a call from Marshall. My assumption challenges were based on a different outcome for private sector financial & economic growth & investment should governments continue with economic problems or face a much worse set of economic conditions than we see today. In the second segment, we talked orbital debris and mitigation issues, the reality of satellite service and much more. Wayne also cited the Nimitz law suit against NASA for parking fees re asteroid 433EROS as evidence that the courts need a property right legal format to even hear such cases. He also mentioned one of Rand Simberg' s recent property rights ideas around the Space Settlement Prize Act. Wayne went into details as to why in his legal opinion, this idea would not work. We talked about the U.N. treaties, benefit sharing per the U.N. treaties as being part of the property rights issue, and the idea of establishing a legal Authority for issuing property rights. Listen to why Wayne was not enthusiastic about any of these suggestions or alternative ideas. Near the end, Bethany sent in the question I referred to in my earlier comments in that she suggested the resolution re space property rights rests with the companies that want to go to space for commercial purposes and need property rights for their businesses That in fact, it was not our responsibility to do this as the responsibility belonged to those wanting to commercially operate and profit through space commerce. We discussed Bethany's question & Wayne agree with her. We talked about company lobbying & other things they could do to influence policy makers. Our last call came in under the wire from Charles to suggest Antarctica as a model for space property rights. Wayne explained why that was not a good model. At the end, Wayne suggested some actions for space enthusiasts interested in this issue. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. You can email Wayne White at wnwhite@sbcglobal.net. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:07:49 UTC

Mark Sundahl, Friday, 3-1-13 (46.88MB; download) -- Guest: Mark Sundahl. Topics: Commercial space law issues and 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. We welcomed Mark Sundahl back to the show to discuss current commercial space law issues, the recent FAA COMSTAC meeting, and more. During the first segment of our 1 hour 24 minute discussion, Mark talked about the recent FAA COMSTAC meeting held in Washington, DC. Mark focused on ITAR Reform in his summary. He discussed the reform measures taken last year but said they have yet to be implemented. Other topics in this segment included commercial space development, and the need for secrecy regarding space property rights issues for commercial space companies. He used space mining as an example. At one point he said it would be in a space mining company's interest to keep all their mining research secret to avoid any possibility of the space age equivalent of "claim jumping." Listeners sent in emails to ask our guest about the Cape Town Convention which is an international space treaty. Mr. Sundahl discussed the Cape Town Convention in some detail during the first part of the program. As part of this discussion, we talked about satellite financing, the liability treaty, the sale and transfer of satellites or using them for collateral for financing and the potential impacts of this per the U.S. ITAR. As this segment was ending, our guest addressed launch vehicle certification which may be required for operation in some European and foreign spaceports as compared to needing a launch license in the United State. In the second segment, Carnival Cruise Lines and their limited liability waiver and informed consent contract clauses were brought up by a listener who heard me mention the subject on the last open lines program. Mark had much to say about Carnival Cruise Lines as a potential indicator of what may happen with suborbital space tourism. Our guest was asked about the recently announced Inspiration Mars mission and if U.S. government regulations could prevent such a mission. Mark had much to say about human spaceflight regulations now and in the future. We also talked about the developing cubesat industry and Mark offered some concerns around space debris issues. As the program ended, we talked about new space law programs at various U.S. law schools and some differences and similarities with U.S. space and international space law. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above You can contact Mr. Sundahl through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.
