Space Show programs can be quoted in news articles, papers, academic & research work, but must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact Dr. Livingston for questions about our copyright and trademark policies. We welcomed Brad Blair back to the program to discuss several issues including a law suit against governments per the Liability Convention to create a super fund to use in mitigating space debris. Other topics included space mining, ISRU development, HSF to Mars, Cislunar development, the Red Bull Stratos jump, space skydiving, the NIAC-RAP (Robotic Asteroid Prospector Project), and more. During the first segment of our two hour discussion, Brad focused on the space debris lawsuit. He explained the concept, the state liability issues in the Liability Convention, the idea of creating a superfund, and practical issues in doing this. He suggested interested parties talk to space attorney Declan O'Donnell for more information. Declan, a frequent Space Show guest, can be contacted using isdac.usis@gmail.com or 1-800-632-2828. We fielded many listeners questions and phone calls about the lawsuit & superfund idea, some of which continued into the second segment. Brad talked about large and small debris removal issues, mostly in LEO, and he suggested the use of Earth-based lasers as a debris removal tool. We also talked about space salvage & the use of a bidding system for private companies to remove & possibly recycle space debris. As we neared the end of the segment, Doug asked about Lunar ISRU, either excavating or using explosives on the Moon, and mining tools such as the slusher bucket. Our second segment started off with Brad talking about space mining & the use of space resources. He then talked about his NIAC RAP project. A caller asked him why the taxpayers should fund space debris cleanup per his lawsuit idea. You will want to hear this discussion. We got several emails and a call from Spike regarding debris and mining issues. Next, Brad talked about commercial markets and market development for space projects. He also talked about the potential of 3D printing and said many times that we are at a tipping point for commercial space development. He talked about space visions for space settlement and development. Doug called back to ask about his space skydiving ideas using a rocket instead of a balloon. At the program's end, he told us about his venture, NewSpace Analytics, LLC. Post your comments/questions on The Space Show Blog. Brad can be reached @ newspaceanalytics@gmail.com.

Dr. Curt Bilby, Dr. Elizabeth Leffel, Monday, 10-22-12 (46.31MB; download) -- Guests: Dr. Curt Bilby, Dr. Elizabeth Leffel. Topics: The RLIP76 protein by Terapio for radiation toxicity mitigation from multiple causes. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We do not permit the commercial use of any Space Show program or part thereof, nor do we permit Space Show programs to be edited, placed on YouTube, or other private channels & websites. Space Show programs can be quoted in news articles, papers, academic & research work, but must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact Dr. Livingston for questions about our copyright and trademark policies. We welcomed Drs. Curt Bilby & Elizabeth Leffel to the program to discuss the use of the RLIP76 protein for radiation damage mitigation using this biologic medical product. You can learn much more about RLIP76 at the Terapio website, www.terapio.com. Terapio won Honorable Mention at this year's NewSpace Business Plan Competition where I met Dr. Leffel as she presented for the company at the competition. You can see Dr. Leffel's presentation at www.spacevidcast.com/2012/07/27/newspace-2012-business-plan-competition-part-2. Dr. Leffel starts her presentation at 26 minutes 25 seconds into the video. In starting today's discussion, our guests explained RIP76 and how it works through the oxidative stress pathway. We learned about the FDA Animal Rule being used given human radiation experiments are not allowed. We also talked about FDA fast tracking RLIP76 approval in case of an emergency, plus how RLIP76 would probably be used for acute radiation syndrome as compared to a chronic radiation exposure as the treatment models differ. Near the end of the first segment, NYC 1st responder Daniel called us with several questions applicable to his being an emergency 1st responder & likely to be closely involved in any nuclear terrorist event. We don't often get a view of this world on The Space Show so I urge you to pay attention to Daniel's questions & the discussion with our guests. In our second segment, I asked Dr. Bilby questions about the venture capital model for pharmaceutical R&D, pricing, & national healthcare systems plus insurance companies blocking access to many of these cutting edge drugs due to their high cost. Curt took us through the risks associated with the different stages of pharmaceutical R&D, clinical trials, & product distribution. We talked about the very high failure rate for new drug research & we were introduced to the term "valley of death" as applied to this process. We talked more about the actual RLIP76 process, potential pricing of the product & public health policy that might control its use. We had a caller ask about using RLIP76 on a one way Mars trip as a trial, wondering if the FDA would approve such an "experiment." Dr. Bilby explained why it was unlikely this would happen, then we talked about getting RLIP76 for a space use by going outside the U.S. Listen to why that won't work. We also talked about space radiation issues, the possible role of RLIP76 regarding these issues, plus NASA's interest in working with Terapio in their research. Doug called to cite Terapio as a perfect example of a space scalable business, a topic we talk often of on The Space Show. As the segment ended, I asked Dr. Bilby if Terapio was public or if it had plans to do an IPO anytime in the near future. He explained the mixture of government & private sector equity partners but no plans for an IPO at this time. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. You can email our guests through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:15:35 UTC

Dr. Erik Seedhouse, Sunday, 10-21-12 (44.87MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Erick Seedhouse. Topics: Astronauts4Hire.com, commercial astronaut corps, & "Astronauts For Hire: The Emergence of a Commercial Astronaut Corps." You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright.

Space Show programs can be quoted in news articles, papers, academic & research work, but must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact Dr. Livingston for questions about our copyright and trademark policies. We welcomed Dr. Erik Seedhouse back to the program to discuss his new book, "Astronauts For Hire: The Emergence of a Commercial Astronaut Corps." You can order the book from the following link & when you do, Amazon makes a contribution to The Space Show/OGLF: www.amazon.com/Astronauts-For-Hire-Commercial-Exploration/dp/146140519X/ref=onegiantlea20. While our program was in two segments, again, our topics crossed segments so this summary is written without regard to segments. Dr. Seedhouse introduced us to the organization, Astronauts4Hire.org which is also their website. On their home page, you can subscribe to their newsletter and news alerts for the organization as they strive to build a commercial astronaut corps. Erik told us how to join up, the difference with Flight Members and Associate Members, what the flight qualifications consist of, and how they envision their role in flying citizen science experiments on the upcoming suborbital flights. While we did mention orbital flights, Erik said the difference was significant with suborbital and for now the focus was completely on suborbital. As you will hear, the book is much broader than the organization as he goes into many of the human factors impacting HSF, both on the suborbital level and the orbital level. His book addresses the leading companies in the industry, NASTAR training for suborbital astronauts, and forward looking potential commercial space businesses. One of the issues that can negatively impact suborbital human flight is space sickness and Erik spoke about this in some detail. He also talked centrifuge training and G-forces on launch as well as the reentry. Near the end of the program, we talked about suborbital vehicle safety, launch abort, and crew escape. If you have comments or questions, please post them on The Space Show blog above. You can contact Dr. Seedhouse through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:11:18 UTC

Classroom: Dr. Paul Spudis, Dr. Jim Vedda, Friday, 10-19-12 (65.88MB; download) -- Guests: CLASSROOM: Dr. Paul Spudis, Dr. Jim Vedda. Topics: Cislunar space development and economics. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blogs, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com and the Classroom blog, http://spaceshowclassroom.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming.

Space Show programs can be quoted in news articles, papers, academic & research work, but must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact Dr. Livingston for questions about our copyright and trademark policies which we do enforce. For this Classroom Space Show two hour program, we welcomed Dr. Paul Spudis and Dr. Jim Vedda for a comprehensive discussion on the importance of undertaking Cislunar space development as a major focus of U.S. space policy. Our program was in two equal segments but since our topics crossed segments, our summary will reflect the entire program, not each segment. Also, at the end of this summary, I have listed several relevant URLs for cislunar space development and our guests. If you want more information on the subject, I suggest you visit the recommended websites and blogs. Our guests described cislunar space for us and did an excellent job in letting us know why it is important to focus on a cislunar space development program. In the process of addressing this very important issue, we talked about policy, the railroad model, the need for space infrastructure, insitu resource development and understanding, lunar water, lunar ice, lunar polar robotic exploration, the need to learn to live and behave in space, and much more. Listeners called and asked email questions that drew out both our panel members so that our discussion was sufficiently thorough. Side issues were discussed such as budget cuts, tight budgets, how to do cislunar space in a belt tightening environment, small businesses and contractors, even sequestration. Our guests were very clear as to why cislunar development was much more preferable than "space stunt accomplishment" types of programs and projects. Our guests presented a good case in letting us know why cislunar development is preferable over a humans to Mars mission at this time. Another issue brought up by a listener was to ask about "Plan B" if for some reason there was no water or there was insufficient water/ice on the Moon. Dr. Spudis explained why that was not likely but both panel members talked about why cislunar development was important to even without sufficient water/ice resources on the Moon. Here are the URLs of interest I mentioned above: First, Dr. Vedda's new book, "Becoming Spacefarers: Rescuing America's Space Program" is at www.amazon.com/Becoming-Spacefarers-James-A-Vedda/dp/1477130918/ref=onegiantlea20.

Space Show programs can be quoted in news articles, papers, academic & research work but must be cited or referenced in the proper citation format. Contact Dr. Livingston for questions about our copyright & trademark policies which we do enforce. Welcome to our fist Space Show audition program. Most callers talked about their projects to earn a place as guest on the program. We received email questions from listeners for the caller. Tell us on the blog if you would like to hear a specific caller as a guest on The Space Show. John was our first caller regarding his concept for a Two-Stage-Tether-to-Orbit program. I'll upload his two PDF documents to the blog, both of which explain in detail what he summarized on air. Doug was next to talk about Cislunar development around lunar ice at the poles, a moderate heavy lift such as the Falcon Heavy, propellant transfer and depots, and depot locations along with cargo transportation. Doug was asked about markets for his concept which he said might include satellite servicing. When asked about his time line in a "perfect world" supporting his concept, he suggested about 11-12 years. He also talked about a lunar settlement and his Lunar Cots Petition (www.ipetitions.com/petition/lcots). Andrew in Tucson was the next caller, encouraging people with ideas to assemble a garage type tool shop to learn to make simple parts of the hardware supporting their ideas. He talked about tools going back to WW2 & the '60s as being valuable & important today. He explained why he was encouraging people to learn to do at least the basics of building their project components which would help obtain financing & spur the interest of others. He will soon have some of his videos on YouTube so search under his name for more on his idea, "Andrew Tubbiolo." Jeff from Tucson called next to talk about taking a holistic view of space programs/projects such as SLS. He talked extensively about the need for solid rocket propellant per SLS & made the case for NASA being an integral part in our national security via its use of solids, space projects, etc. He stressed the holistic broader view over a more narrow view brought up by listener emails such as cost, economics, etc. Our much shorter second segment started with a call from Armen who talked about the interstellar roadmap which could change the way space projects are financed. He talked about financing being the bottleneck for space projects, then explained how the Fed creates money, debt/credit relationships, and how something like QE3 could be replaced by putting the $40 billion in one month toward space companies per the roadmap. The roadmap by Star Voyager was discussed. You can obtain more information from the Leeward Space Foundation (www.leewardspacefoundation.org). For specifics, www.leewardspacefoundation.org/id32.html. Our caller then talked about the International Space Development Hub (ISDH) at www.isdhub.com. ISDHub has proposed NASA Ames transform Hangar One at Moffett Field from a parking space to a space business hub. For details, see www.isdhub.com/about-us. Place your comments/questions on our blog. Let us know who you would like to hear as a guest on The Space Show. You can email the callers through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:41:28 UTC

Wayne White, Monday, 10-15-12 (63.90MB; download) -- Guest: Wayne White. Topics: Space law, The Space Pioneer Act, property rights & commercial space development. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed Wayne White back to the program to discuss his proposal for The Space Pioneer Act (SPA). His Power Point presentation on this Act has been uploaded to The Space Show blog. Later in the program we talked about his new business venture, SpaceBooster, LLC. Background on SpaceBooster has also been uploaded to The Space Show blog. Mr. White started our discussion with an overview on his proposed SPA and the five United Nations treaties that generally control the behavior in space by all nations, including the issues of property rights, space salvage, and space mining. Mr. White spent a considerable amount of time on this discussion, the Outer Space Treaty (OST) and the Moon Treaty. Our guest then introduced us to the idea of "innovative financing" which is a type of tax being proposed in the U.N. This prompted quite the discussion. Next, our guest took us to salvage law, the Law of the Sea Treaty, and the space asset registration lists with both the Air Force and the U.N. Transferring ownership title of space based assets was a major part of this part of the discussion, including reciprocity with similar laws that might eventually be enacted in other countries. Atty. Michael called in and we had a mini-legal debate on these issues, the treaties, enforcement, and alternatives. Wayne then introduced us to the Deep Sea Hard Mineral Resources Act as being relevant to parts of The Space Pioneers Act. In our second segment, Wayne talked about the history of many of our laws consistent with what he proposes in his Act. He said that 2012 was the 150th anniversary of the Homestead Act and he connected the benefits of the Homestead Act with what might happen in space with the SPA. He also talked about the 1872 General Mining Act which then led him to talking about Article 2 of the OST. Our guest was calling for the "use it or lose it" regime. Space mining was discussed in this segment along with jurisdictional issues, both internationally and domestically. Later in the segment, Wayne talked about his new business, SpaceBooster LLC. You can find out more by visiting their website, www.spacebooster.com though Wayne did say the website is still under construction and being developed. Near the end of the program, we talked about space tourism liability, informed consent, insurance, and the meaning of the term "spaceflight participant" as opposed to being a passenger. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. You can reach Wayne White, Atty, through The Space Pioneer Act presentation on our blog.

Dr. Stephen Fuller, Sunday, 10-14-12 (59.36MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Stephen Fuller. Topics: Sequestration and its potential impact on DOD Agencies, aerospace, NASA & non-DOD agencies. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed Dr. Stephen Fuller to the program to discuss the potential impact of the Budget Control Act of 2011 (sequestration) on DOD and the aerospace industry. You can read and download his report at www.aia-aerospace.org/assets/Fuller_II_Final_Report.pdf. We started our discussion with Dr. Fuller providing us with the background and history leading up to the adoption of the sequestration law in 2011 and what it means across a broad group of stakeholders as well as all of us since no one will escape its impact and consequences. Dr. Fuller provided sequestration specifics, especially for 2013, plus the added impact of the law when the multiplier effect is added in to the analysis. We discussed different perspectives on sequestration, including the one suggesting that this might be the best thing possible for the country because it will finally impose strict fiscal discipline on the spending. We contrasted the "cold turkey" approach with a more targeted and disciplined approach designed to accomplish the same trillion dollar reduction over ten years. We talked about the sequestration impact in DOD and aerospace, plus Dr. Fuller told us about his research on its impact with NASA. Listeners wanted to speculate how NASA cuts might impact commercial crew, SLS, the planetary programs, and James Webb. During this segment, our guest did an excellent job of explaining the likely collateral damage throughout the economy should sequestration happen. Dr. Fuller also talked about the effects of delaying the onset of sequestration to February or March 2013. Here, the workforce cuts are more severe as they have to reach a certain goal in FY 2013 but will have less time to reach that goal. Near the end of this segment, Dr. Fuller explained the impact on primary contractors as well as the subs and small businesses. As the segment ended, Doug ask about specific NASA programs. Listen to what Dr. Fuller said about specific NASA cuts impacting NASA centers. Finally, he talked about the damage done to the economy by economic uncertainty caused by sequestration and the concern that Congress will not reach a compromise to fix the problem. In the second segment, John called in to say that after the election, he thinks Congress will reach a settlement and sequestration will not happen. Dr. Fuller used this segment to go into more detail about sequestration consequences with the different economic sectors. He talked about current procurement orders compared to future procurement orders and what sequestration does to research and development. I asked Dr. Fuller about his having testified before Congress about his study & he shared his experiences with us. He also talked about possible less severe ways of dealing with sequestration if it comes to pass, including rolling job furloughs rather than layoffs. Near the end of our discussion, I asked about the sequestration impact on capital acquisition in the private sector & Jack from VA called in to talk about R&D, especially with DOD. In closing, if sequestration is of concern to you, let your congressional delegation know your thoughts to encourage them to reach some sort of compromise to avoid sequestration. If you have comments/questions, please post them on The Space Show blog. You can email Dr. Fuller through me. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:46:21 UTC

Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed our three guests to the program to discuss the benefits and services provided to the U.S. along with the global space community by the National Center for Remote Sensing, Air & Space Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law as well as the quality legal education afforded the students pursuing an interest in space law. Visit their website for more information and for the publications and events mentioned during our discussion: www.spacelaw.olemiss.edu. Our program started with an opening statement about the Center by each of our three guests. As you will hear, John and Nick were students at the Center while Chuck has been a user of services provided by the Center as well as providing internship opportunities for the space law students. Each guest told just how important the Center was and still is to them and their work. Throughout our program, we talked about the Center Director, Joanne Irene Gabrynowicz who has been a guest on this program several times in the past. In our first segment, we talked about international space law, U.S. space law, and other space law schools, comparing their programs to those offered by the National Center. Specific issues such as remote sensing were highlighted as was commercial space, and telecommunications. Published by the National Center, the Journal of Space Law was discussed, including the archival base as well as new issue subscriptions. We talked about some of the articles published in it and the publication as an outstanding resource for space law and researchers in general. Also mentioned was the Res Communis blog which is a free subscription providing important and timely information about aviation and space law issues. Michael called in to talk about academics, treaty space law, international space law issues, and the contributions to the field from the Center. He mentioned the upcoming 7th Galloway Symposium on Critical Issues in Space Law in Washington, DC, an event sponsored by the Center. You can find out more about this event on the Center's website. In our short second segment, I asked about planetary protection and Article 9 of the OST based on our program earlier in the week with the director of NASA's Planetary Protection office. Our guests told us about their studies and work in this area and the relevance of this to the work of the Center. Listener Sagi called in to talk about the Center and how it has benefitted him in his law practice & more. I also thanked him for his part in helping me set up this program with our three guests. Other topics during this segment included commercial space, commercial space companies, other space law programs in the U.S. and around the world, plus the European Code of Conduct for Outer Space Development. Our three guests left us with meaningful closing comments which you definitely want to hear. Please post your comments/questions about this discussion on The Space Show blog.
