Dr. Eligar Sadeh, Monday, 2-21-11 (43.55MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Eligar Sadeh. Topics: Towards a National Space Policy, commercial launch, NewSpace and space industry stakeholders. Please note that 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. Visit our guest's website, Astroconsulting International at www.astroconsultinginternational.com. In our first segment, Dr. Sadeh brought up the National Space Strategy Study and said we as a nation really only have a policy for the security space community though there are other components comprising the full space industry community. Many times throughout the show our guest referred to the recently released National Security Space Strategy document. We talked about the fact that not all space industry stakeholders have had a voice in the policy creating effort. We talked about the National Space Strategy Project for example and here he mentioned that while there were commercial space stakeholders participating in the program, NewSpace was not there. Later in the segment, the subject was the Europeans taking the lead with their Draft Code of Conduct for Outer Space Behavior and the fact that some guidelines are needed and now there are no guidelines. I translated guidelines into rules of the road. Dr. Sadeh talked about the need for space governance and what that might look like if in place. We talked about many in the private sector segment and NewSpace not wanting regulation or intrusive rules of the road and that to many, this constitutes a political risk to the development of the emerging commercial space industry. In our second segment, Dr. Sadeh then brought up the subject of low cost space access. He said this was not specifically a goal of most of the commercial space industry and that the actual launch price was only a small part of the overall space access cost, including space operations, and that commercial companies sought out other factors that were more important to them than just the launch cost. Don't miss this discussion. He did mention that two stakeholders, Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) and NewSpace did have low launch costs as a primary goal and he stated that these industry segments needed to be at the policy developing table. Eligar talked about the impact of space tourism in this segment and we discussed the perspective of DOD with unfettered civilian space access. Eligar did a good job in outlining the DOD perspective followed by his own perspective. You might be surprised by what he had to say. In our third segment, a listener asked him to connect the dots to troubles in the Middle East and increasing oil prices to space policy. In his response, he talked quite a bit about national security space but he did say that he doubted an added emphasis on national security space would crowd out the commercial space interests. He then outlined the commercial space segment within DOD space. We also talked about the possibility of creating a new cabinet level organization for space development. Later, a listener asked what he would say were he a keynote speaker at a NewSpace Conference given their dislike for regulation. He said that he would point out that regulations are going to happen, he pointed to AST for being able to create constructive and industry friendly regulations and he suggested that NewSpace and other stakeholders come to the table and play a role, exerting their leadership in policy making. He talked about Newspace needing to be proactive and to be a leader, not to be passive. If you want to offer a comment or ask Dr. Sadeh a question, please post it on the blog URL above. You can also send it to Dr. Sadeh by email either through the Contact page on his website or by using esadeh@gmail.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:44:26 UTC

Robert A. Adamcik, Sunday, 2-20-11 (43.46MB; download) -- Guest: Robert (Bob)A. Adamcik. Topics: Space Shuttle Discovery and the space shuttle in general. Please note that 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. We welcomed Robert (Bob) Adamcik to the show, author of the new Apogee release, "Voyages of Discovery: The Missions of the Space Shuttle Discovery. This book is available on the OGLF Amazon partners page and if you buy it there, Amazon contributes to The Space Show/OGLF. Please use www.amazon.com/dp/1926837134?tag=onegialeafou-20. In our first segment, our guest was asked why he focused on the Discovery shuttle. As you will hear, Arthur C. Clark had a lot to do with his focus on Discovery along with other reasons he discloses during our interview. I asked him about his biggest surprise he came upon while researching his book and it had to do with STS 131. Don't miss what he had to say about this mission. Charles called in to ask about the new genre of spacecraft being built, capsules, rather than winged vehicles. Our guest reminded Charles about Dream Chaser which is a winged vehicle. Toward the end of the first segment, listeners pointed out that Discovery had only flown (including the last mission scheduled for later this week) 39 missions yet it and all shuttles were rated for 100 missions. The listeners wanted to know if Discovery could fly 100 or more total missions. You might be surprised by the Bob's answer to this set of questions. In the second segment, we asked Bob for a list of his top three favorite missions. STS-120 was at the top of the list, followed by STS-51A, and then STS-63. You will want to hear what he had to say about each mission and why it made his favorites list. Our guest was also asked why Discovery was the return to flight shuttle after both the Challenger and Columbia accidents. Later in this segment, we focused on the payload capacity going to and back from the ISS and what it will be like in the future given the absence of this capacity/capability. Bob had much to say on this subject. As we started the last segment, we talked about the John Glenn flight, STS-95, Oct. 29, 1998. Our guest, having his roots in Ohio, then told us about the Buckeye mission, STS-70 in that the entire crew was from Ohio and what had to happen to make sure everyone was from Ohio. Later, we talked about Bob's research efforts including NASA, Rockwell, and Boeing. As you will hear, NASA had lots of information available but much of what both Rockwell and Boeing had was discarded! Later we talked about heavy lift and if we needed it. Our guest said absolutely. Don't miss his comments on this. He also said Hubble was perhaps the most significant of the Discovery missions. Near the end of the interview, he was asked about the issue of using solid rocket boosters (SRBs) for the shuttle and human spaceflight. Don't miss his response to this question. If you have questions or comments for Robert Adamcik, please post them on the blog URL above. You can also email Bob at robert.a.adamcik@gmail.com.

Marcia Smith, Friday, 2-18-11 (44.57MB; download) -- Guest: Marcia Smith. Topics: Mostly the FY 2011 and FY 2012 NASA budget, commercial space, and the federal budget process. Please note that 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. Please visit SpacePolicyOnline at www.spacepolicyonline.com for more information and to read Marcia's timely and important news articles regarding NASA, all of space, and much more. While our program unfolded in three segments, our discussion topics all focused on the FY2011 budget yet to be finalized and the newly announced FY 2012 budget, particularly the NASA portion of the budget. Ms. Smith updated us as to the status of FY2011 which has not been finalized and we learned the process it still must go through to become the nation's 2011 fiscal budget. We both talked about FY 11 in general and specifically the NASA part of the budget. At the same time, we discussed the newly proposed FY 2012 budget, including the NASA portion of it, and the fact that discussions and debate on the new budget must commence and move forward even without a resolution to what the FY 11 budget will be. Confused? Well, if you are, Marcia Smith will clear up all of your confusion in this 90 minute discussion. We did break down the components of the FY 12 NASA budget and compared them to the 2010 budget, the NASA Authorizations for FY 11 and FY 12, and we discussed the likely impact of budget cuts. As you will hear, areas of risk were pointed out and highlighted. You will hear both listeners and me refer to various tables on Marcia's website. To access this information, visit http://spacepolicyonline.com/pages/images/stories/NASAs_FY2012_Budget_Request.pdf. In talking about budget cuts, both Marcia and I made the point that non-national security and defense discretionary funding, even if cut by 100%, would not make much of an impact on the overall crisis we face re the deficit and debt that is mounting up. For spending reductions to focus only on the discretionary items, it seems almost futile as the bulk of our national spending is in the entitlements part of the federal budget. We talked throughout the interview about commercial space, human spaceflight, space exploration, and science missions. We also talked about competing interests in congress and the need for the space enthusiast/advocacy community to speak with a united voice to be more effective. Other issues that were addressed included international cooperation, foreign competition, and the restrictive language to be debated in the House CR bill forbidding NASA to work with the Chinese. Listeners had several questions regarding the possibility of shutting down the government due to both sides being unable to reach a compromise on the budget. Marcia made a very strong case for evaluating the public benefit of gov. programs so that quality programs, including NASA, are not cut with regard to merit. One of her suggestions as we neared the end of the program for the 11th hour situation we now find ourselves in regarding FY 11 and probably FY 12 was to use the FY 10 budget across the board. We took several questions about the budget and the ISS as well as continuing some aspects of Constellation, specifically the new heavy lift vehicle. The issue of NASA as a jobs program came up and you do not want to miss this part of the discussion. As you will hear, we must decide as a nation how important it is to move to a technically literate workforce that can also inspire the youth and students of the nation to move us forward. If you have questions or comments for Marcia Smith, please post them on the blog URL above and you can also email them to Ms. Smith at the email address info@spacepolicyonline.com.

Dr. Alan Stern; Open Lines, Tuesdasy, 2-15-11 (54.83MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Alan Stern; Open Lines. Topics: The upcoming Next-Generation Suborbital Research Conference starting Feb. 28, 2011 in Orlando for the first hour, then Open Lines for the last 45 minutes. Please note that 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. During the first hour of the program, Dr. Alan Stern was with us to discuss the upcoming Next-Generation Suborbital-Researchers Conference 2011 (NSRC 2011) which will be held at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Feb. 28-March 2, 2011. Advanced registration ends Friday, Feb. 18, 2011 so if you are interested in attending, make sure you do the advanced registration. Student registrations are also available. Please visit their website http://nsrc.swri.org. You can check out the conference program by visiting www.swri.org/9what/events/confer/nsrc/2011/program.htm. Not only did Dr. Stern provide us with the conference logistics including advance and student registration information, but we discussed the highlights of the program agenda. We mentioned the three special Space Show programs that we will do with people in attendance at the conference. For early details and times for these special programs, please see the coming attractions section of The Space Show website newsletter. Later in the segment, Dr. Stern fielded several questions about the emerging suborbital markets, using next-generation vehicles for research as opposed to the NASA sounding rockets, and the NASA CRuSR program was described in some detail. We asked Dr. Stern about overall NASA support for both next-generation suborbital flights and commercial space. We learned that foreign payloads were welcome on the domestic flights and that we were getting closer to payloads being ready to fly when the vehicles are ready to fly. Toward the end of the first segment, Terry asked Alan about the New Horizons mission as Alan is the PI for this important planetary mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. Alan had much to say about the mission, its discoveries so far, and its current location and mission progress. You don't want to miss this New Horizons update. At the end of Alan's segment, I asked him if the NSRC was a NewSpace conference. As we learned, NewSpace is definitely a segment of this conference the suborbital subject but the conference is broader than just NewSpace. Again, if you are considering or planning to attend, do the advanced reservation as we discussed in the first few minutes of the program. As we started our short Open Lines segment, I began the discuss by restating that a requirement to post on Space Show blogs is civility. Please note these simple rules for posting on our blogs. After my civility discussion, Dave Huntsman called to talk more about the amazing achievements of Dr. Stern, especially in putting together the Suborbital Research Conference in the first place. Dave raised some important points for consideration and he was right on, Dr. Stern deserves and has earned an amazing amount of credit and applause for his work in this field. The last caller was John Hunt from Atlanta who wanted to talk about the NASA FY 12 budget and why NASA can't do things, especially rocket building, much easier, simpler and for less money. This was about a 25 minute discussion with email comments from listeners addressing what John was talking about. If you have questions or comments regarding the upcoming conference, use the contacts listed at the bottom of the NSRC 2011 homepage. Comments or questions for Dr. Stern or the two Open Lines callers should be posted on the blog and forwarded to me so I can pass them on to the designated recipient. Please use drspace@thespaceshow.com. Do post all comments on The Space Show blog. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 16 Feb 2011 18:06:10 UTC

Robert (Bob) Zimmerman, Monday, 2-14-11 (61.03MB; download) -- Guest: Robert (Bob) Zimmerman. Topics: NASA FY 11 and newly released FY 12 budgets. Please note that 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. Also check out Bob's blog at http://behindtheblack.com. You can also download the NASA FY 12 budget overview at www.nasa.gov/budget. This was a two hour program with a break after the first hour. In addition, its the first of a series of programs The Space Show will present dealing with the NASA FY 12 budget and space policy. For 2010, The Space Show presented more than 120 hours of programming devoted to discussion of all sides and perspectives of the Administration's proposed space policy, the debate and FY 11 budget issues. For 2011, we will also be presenting all sides and perspectives regarding space policy issues and the FY 12 NASA budget. Thus, this is the first of a long and comprehensive set of Space Show programs that will undertake to evaluate and understand our emerging space policy and the budget that goes with it. In today's first segment, Bob provided us with a quick overview of the FY 12 budget which had only been released a few hours earlier in the day. We talked some about the CR for FY 11 that will be debated this week, including the restrictive Chinese language that was inserted into this bill. During this segment, we took a call from Dr. Charles Lurio who publishes the well known and respected Lurio Report (www.thelurioreport.com). Charles and Bob together discussed many of the details, problems, and issues with the segment of the new NASA budget designated for commercial space and impacting the NewSpace segment of the space industry. Don't miss this exchange of ideas and information. Later in the first segment, Jack Kennedy sent in an email that focused on budget impact for space telescopes. Here, we talked about the Kepler Space Telescope and it easily being the bright star in the astrophysics part of the NASA, but Bob also talked about the problems facing the astrophysics part of the NASA budget due to the James Webb cost overruns and the approximate $4 billion going into the revised heavy lift/Constellation program which Bob does not support as you will hear him say throughout our discussion. During our second segment, a listener asked about a recent news article suggesting $190 billion for corporate sponsorship for a Mars human mission. Bob talked about and returning humans to the Moon, especially via the private sector. Other topics discussed in this segment included more on budget issues, suborbital development and the NASA CRuSR program, popular support for space in Texas and the rest of the country, a proposed JPL/Indian lunar retrieval mission, and issues surrounding commercial markets, their existence, and how they might drive commercial space development regardless of our civil/NASA space policy. We concluded the show with an update from Bob on the situation facing certain species of bats with the fungus that is destroying many of them. Bob did his usual white nose syndrome bat update for us as he follows this situation very closely. If you have questions or comments for Bob Zimmerman, please post them on both The Space Show blog URL above and on Bob's behindtheblack.com site. You can also email Bob at zimmerman at nasw dot org.

Esther Dyson, Sunday, 2-13-11 (42.74MB; download) -- Guest: Esther Dyson. Topics: Space investments, commercial space, NewSpace, business opportunities in space. Please note that 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. Visits Esther Dyson's website, www.edventure.com. Also visit the NASA Advisory Council website at www.nasa.gov/offices/nac/home/index.html. Our topics for this program included commercial space, business, engineering, STEM education, NewSpace, and investing. Early on we talked about the confrontational situation within congress and how it impacts NASA and our space program. Space entrepreneurism was mentioned, federal money to NewSpace companies was talked about, and we discussed space angel investors. Esther talked about liquidity issues in space investments, public and private companies, and then several questions about Bigelow Aerospace came in. Toward the end of the first segment, Esther was asked about the proposed new ATK-Astrium Liberty Launch Vehicle and synthetic biology. We started our second segment with a more involved synthetic biology discussion which you do not want to miss. Here, Ms. Dyson talked about terreforming as well as altering molecules to help evolve activities on the Moon or Mars. She also mentioned that here on Earth we are working in this direction with biofuels and she said we will need biology in space, not just manufacturing and the bending of metal. Later in this segment, our guest was asked about space business plans and the long term nature of space investments. Several listeners asked Ms. Dyson for her thoughts on investing, different companies or markets, but we were not on the air to give out investment advice which we did not do. Esther did mention some of the companies she has invested in and earlier in our discussing, she mentioned that she was about a third into space but also into other areas including Russian activities and the health care field. Tax incentives for space development were mentioned and then Esther was asked about her Cosmonaut Training in Russia. For sure listen to what she had to say about this training, space sickness, the centrifuge and pulling 8 G's, her place in the Soyuz, and much more. In our last segment, Esther talked about the NASA Advisory Council and the Technology and Innovation Committee of which she is a member. Toward the end of the show, our guest was asked about SSP and alternative launch capabilities. This prompted her to discuss the Dyson Sphere regarding space energy, a concept originally described by her father. If you have a question or comment for Esther Dyson, please post it on the blog URL above. You can also email Ms. Dyson at edyson@boxbe.com.

Dr. John Logsdon, Friday, 2-11-11 (46.22MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. John Logsdon. Topics: President Kennedy and our Moon program, space policy today. Please note that 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. Dr. Logsdon's book, "John F. Kennedy And The Race To The Moon" is available on the OGLF Amazon partner's page, www.amazon.com/dp/023011010X?tag=onegialeafou-20. If you buy the book through this URL, Amazon contributes to The Space Show/OGLF. During our first segment, we talked about JFK and his interest in space prior to his becoming president. As you will hear, he did not have much of a space interest and as president, JFK saw space as a tool to be used in support of our national policy. There was no indication that he saw space in connection with saving humanity or in the ways that were projected by science fiction and pop culture of the day. We learned that JFK appointed LBJ to be the lead on space policy for his administration. We then talked about Kennedy's main advisors and their thoughts on space. Of the group discussed, only Ted Sorensen was enthusiastic about the developing space program. Toward the end of the first segment, our caller asked about being able to change the paradigm of NASA away from winning the cold war to a modern NASA capable of taking us into the future. Don't miss what Dr. Logsdon had to say about this. In our second segment, Dr. Logsdon explained why he wrote the book and he also mentioned several of his public appearances across the country. If he is speaking near you, I strongly suggest you go hear him. In this segment, we discussed the fact that Kennedy always had as his main focus to use space as a tool of policy and to seek USSR cooperation with the US in going to the Moon together. In May 1961 at a meeting with Khrushchev in Vienna, Khrushchev rejected the cooperation idea. In 1962, there were top level discussions on speeding up our Moon program but eventually the decision was made to stay the course. Later in this segment, I asked our guest about lessons learned from Apollo that were applicable today. Don't miss this discussion. Toward the end of this segment, questions about commercializing space came up, especially in the context of today's space policy. In our third segment, we talked about JFK's final words on space and his visit to key space centers a week before his untimely death. We then talked about the impact of Apollo and our guest suggested that in terms of the evolution of our space program, the impact had been a negative. He suggested that the failure after Apollo was actually the failure to adjust to the post Apollo period. The Apollo program was not a failure. As we moved to the final minutes of our discussion, we talked about how our space program was in transition and we addressed space workforce issues given this period of change. If you have a comment or questions for Dr. John Logsdon, post it on The Space Show blog. You can also email Dr. Logsdon at logsdon@gwu.edu.

Open Lines, Tuesday, 2-8-11 (74.80MB; download) -- Guest: Open Lines with Dr. David Livingston. Topics: We discussed a variety of topics dealing with all aspects of space commerce to the economy, and launch options. Please note that 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. During this two hour program, we discussed a wide range of topics dealing with space policy, commercial space, EELV, Bigelow Aerospace, its doubling its space in Las Vegas and its plans for the Florida Space Coast, SpaceX and the Falcon 9, ATK and their new venture with Astrium to develop the Liberty Rocket for CCDev 2 competition and more. As we started our discussion, I went through a list of 14 discussion topics for this program and then during our discussion with callers, added two or three more items to the discussion list. I was a bit disappointed that nobody wanted to discuss the EU's Draft Code of Behavior for Outer Space or our new National Security Space Strategy but as you will hear, there was lots of interest in discussing NASA, the budget, Bigelow Aerospace and Space X plans with the Falcon 9, plus the new announcement by ATK regarding their CCDev 2 entry with Astrium, the Liberty Rocket. Perhaps the most controversial call came from Charles who is now in Las Vegas rather than Mojave, CA. Charles was asked about laser launch possibilities and he threw lots of cold water on the laser. He also was very critical of both NASA and Bigelow Aerospace and in fact suggested that because Bigelow was not developing his own transportation system, his venture would likely be unsuccessful. I argued against what Charles was saying and still believe Charles is off the deep end both with how he sees NASA and certainly how he views Bigelow Aerospace. A few listeners sent in emails saying about the same thing I just said. Trent from Australia was our first caller and he focused in on several of the discussion items I had mentioned, including stating he had been caught off guard by the ATK announcement. I think many of us were caught off guard by their announcement which went out yesterday morning. We also talked about the Competitive Space Task Force press announcement I had received and as the show ended, Trent sent this YouTube clip to me saying that it was shown at their press briefing, www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h_d6YVA1Kg. I want to find out more about this organization, possibly even have Rand and some of the others as guests to discuss their plans and goals. John from Atlanta called in, we had a follow up discussion on nuclear propulsion and some of the comments made on the Sunday Space Show, specifically about the U.S. becoming irrelevant with space policy with Asian countries. John also mentioned the letter by three members of the House wanting to redirect NASA Earth Imaging money to human spaceflight. Then John brought up the A-12 project as an example of cancelled projects and that started a mini discussion with John in Billings that continued by email after the show ended. For those interested in this project, let me know and I will send you some of the email links and information provided by both our listeners on this project as John in Billings provided John in Atlanta with some reference links and point clarifications on this project. If you have questions or comments for any of the callers or participants in tonight's show, first, post them on the blog URL above. You can also send them to me and I will forward them to the person of your choice. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:24:36 UTC

Don Green, Monday, 2-7-11 (47.22MB; download) -- Guest: Don Green. Topics: Dr. Napoleon Hill and the Napoleon Hill Foundation, his book "Think and Grow Rich," and applications for space entrepreneurism. Please note that 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. We welcomed Don Green, Executive Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation to the show to discuss the application of Napoleon Hill philosophy to space entrepreneurism. For more information, please visit their website, www.naphill.org. While this program covered the traditional three segments, this summary omits the segment by segment description for one short summary of our discussion. Also, as you will hear, we were giving away three book sets to callers during the show. We had only one caller, the rest of listeners chose email so I have two book sets left that will go to the first two people emailing a question for Don Green, copied to me and posted on the blog. Each book set contains three Napoleon Hill books as described on the show. If this offer interests you, you should expedite sending your question to Don Green, the blog, and me as only two of you can win the book set. Our discussion started out with Don Green providing us with background information on Dr. Hill. We talked about the most famous of his books, "Think and Grow Rich" which was initially written in 1937. If you have never read this book, I urge you to do so as its as relevant today as it was when it was written. Mr. Green was asked many questions about the most important of Dr. Hill's rules for success and he always came back to having a burning desire to do the venture, a real passion that consumes the person, plus have achievable goals. This subject came up several times during the program. Don Green also talked about his international work in taking the philosophy of Dr. Napoleon Hill to other nations, including Asia and specifically countries that have space programs, China, India, Japan, even South Korea. Maybe this helps shed light on some of the tools used in these countries to further their space industry success. Many of the listeners were familiar with Napoleon Hill concepts and asked about the Cosmic Habitforce as well as for clarifications on the Mastermind. We even took a call about the U.S. economic system and businesses doing one thing here but relying on sweatshops for labor overseas. Don Green had much to say about this so don't miss his concepts. Other concepts discussed included the Law of Attraction, the Law of Retaliation, and using sex as a business driver for success. If you have a comment or question for Don Green, you can email him at TheNapoleonHillFoundation@uvawise.edu. In addition, post your comment on the blog.

Dr. Joan Johnson-Freese, Sunday, 2-6-11 (52.63MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Joan Johnson-Freese. Topics: National Security Space Strategy, U.S. Civil and Military space policy. Please note that 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. We welcomed Dr. Joan Johnson-Freese to the program to discuss our National Security Space and Strategy Policy. There were several documents referenced in this discussion and I recommend you download and read them. The National Security Space Strategy released last week is at www.defense.gov/home/features/2011/0111_nsss. The National Security Space Strategy Fact Sheet is at www.defense.gov/home/features/2011/0111_nsss/docs/2011%2001%2019%20NSSS%20Fact%20Sheet%20FINAL.pdf. The EU Draft Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities can be found at www.spacepolicyonline.com/pages/images/stories/EU_revised_draft_code_of_conduct_Oct_2010.pdf. We started our first segment with a discussion about the National Security Space Strategy and learned that while we are not short of space policy organizations, documents, and efforts, our national space policy is not unified or organized. We discussed our policy in the context of both the Chinese and Indian space policies amid the pros and cons of doing business with China. I was not surprised to learn that the U.S. is on the road to becoming irrelevant from the perspective of other emerging national space programs. With listener questions focusing on China, we discussed both American and Chinese perspectives and the probable consequences of how we decide to relate to China with space policy. Our discussion move to the U.S. DoD perspective and we learned about the DIME term for our nation's diplomatic, information, military, and economic strategies. As you will hear, our guest suggested that we all too often emphasize the "M" in that term and not always to our own benefit. Toward the end of the first segment, we began talking about the EU's Draft Code of Conduct for Outer Space Activities. In our second segment we fielded listener questions asking about China as well as inquiring about some of the more obvious problems with our current proposed space policy. Later in this segment, I asked Dr. Johnson-Freese about her commentary article in Astropolitics in response to a space and strategy target article in the same journal by Dr. James Clay Moltz. Dr. Johnson-Freese talked about comparing nuclear policy and strategy with space policy. I urge all of you to read this issue of Astropolitics, Vol. 8 Numbers 2-3, May-December 2010. A listener asked about the use of nuclear power for advanced propulsion and our guest suggested we would face legal problems doing it but other countries probably would not face such obstacles. The question of an Asian Space Race came up and you don't want to miss what was said about this possibility. In our third segment, I asked about the Common Heritage of Mankind (CMH) language and space as a Global Commons. This took us back to the Draft Code of Conduct discussion and the need for rules of the road for all space stakeholders to be able to access and carry on their desired activities in space. Comparisons were made with air routes and sea lanes. Toward the end of the segment, we talked about space education, including some recent educational efforts for members of Congress and their staff. You will likely be surprised at the stories you hear. Our guest talked about revising the National Space Council as a way to possibly counter some of the issues discussed during today's interview. If you have a question or comment for Dr. Joan Johnson-Freese, post it on the Space Show Blog URL above. You can also send it to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com and I will forward it to Dr. Johnson-Freese. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:21:27 UTC
