Taylor Dinerman, Tuesday, 6-8-10 (49.65MB; download) -- Guest: Taylor Dinerman. Topics: Falcon 9, commercial space, ISDC, SSP. We welcomed back Taylor Dinerman and learned that he is no longer writing for The Space Review but is now writing for the Hudson Institute New York. You can find his new posts at www.hudsonny.org/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&blog_id=1&id=138. In our first segment, Mr. Dinerman started out by commending the Falcon 9 for a near flawless launch and Space X. Taylor talked about the U.S. launch development process and the quality of U.S. launchers going back to EELVs. We started talking about policy and a listener asked about the balance between space as a jobs program and a space policy for the good of the nation. Don't miss how Taylor responded to this question. We also talked about the affordability of the Program of Record as compared to the administration program and Taylor was asked how human spaceflight was in our national interest. Don't miss Taylor's response to this question. We continued talking space policy in this segment and asked how the US was viewed by China, Japan, and India. Mr. Dinerman brought up the fact that there were people in congress and government that did want to end human spaceflight and have wanted to do so for years. This discussion then included an assessment of OMB and human spaceflight, then a listener asked what our guest thought of the idea of an international body making decisions for human spaceflight. This was an interesting discussion with Taylor, myself, and the caller agreeing that such an international body would probably not be a good idea. In my comments, I used a NEO as an example and an international body that might make the decision to deflect or take the hit of the NEO. These comments led Taylor to suggest that no matter where a NEO was going to hit on Earth, no US president would allow the hit to happen. In our second segment, Bruce brought up many of the U.S. problems suggesting they would interfere with our space program development. See what you think of Taylor's answer. From here, we went to SSP as Taylor was part of an SSP panel at ISDC and will also have a panel at the coming NewSpace Conference in July. In discussing SSP, we talked about the DOD war avoidance concept, closing the business case, time lines, technology, demos, and much more. Mr. Dinerman updated us on the Indian view of SSP and how NASA, our DOE and most of our government views SSP. In response to some of my questions, Taylor did say investment capital was starting to flow into SSP business projects but that for the moment they were still very private and under the radar. In and our third and final segment, we spent some more time on the SSP subject and when such technology would be ready for prime time. Terrestrial solar and wind were mentioned and we all agreed that these forms of energy were not reliable for base load electricity. Taylor repeated that our Dept. of Energy had a bias for nuclear fusion projects. In the remaining minutes of the program, Rules of the Road and military space came up as Taylor had recently attended a conference on these subjects. There are differing perspectives on these issues among space nations and regions so listen to what our guest had to say about the U.S. position as compared to the position of other space nations. In summarizing the program, Mr. Dinerman said the space debate for the remainder of the year would be very spirited but there was a chance that the forces supporting the POR and those supporting the administration program would self-destruct, thus allowing those that want to destroy human spaceflight to win out. This was a theme our guest repeated at different times during the program. Finally, we talked about space as a policy tool for manipulation and influence. Don't miss these comments. If you have a question or comment for Taylor Dinerman, please email me at drspace@thespaceshow.com and I will forward it to him.

Robert Zimmerman,Monday, 6-7-10 (71.75MB; download) -- Guest: Robert Zimmerman. Topics: Falcon 9 successful launch, U.S. Space Policy, Bat fungus and caves. We welcomed back Robert Zimmerman to talk all things space policy. We started our first segment with a discussion on the successful Falcon 9 launch on June 4, 2010. Bob said it was exhilarating to watch and we all had high praise for Space X. Our guest talked at length about the need for the private sector to continue with these successes to lower the cost of space access. Listeners asked our guest to comment on the impact of the successful launch on the administration's space program and Bob said it was probably not that much given the layoffs coming from the cancellation of Constellation as well as shuttle are far more significant and represent a potential disaster. Toward the end of this segment, listener Patrick asked about other space programs with different companies and he was also interested in the impact of the Falcon 9 on the Russians and Chinese . In our second segment, we talked about the side effects of the cancellation of the return to the Moon per the comments made during the Friday European space policy program. Bob said the U.S. has a lousy reputation for cancelling programs and international cooperation. Marshall called in with a question about the Apollo astronauts commenting on the administration's program and wondered how valuable such comments and opinions were. Later in this segment, another listener asked about the ISS and the possible participation in it by South Korea and China. We concluded this segment with a discussion about Orbital Science and its efforts to provide cargo transportation to the ISS. Our third final long segment started with listener Jack asking about ITAR reform. Listener Charles entered into a vigorous debate with Bob regarding the administration's space policy program. This is a must listen to discussion. The debate ended up with an agreement that we are definitely in uncertain times. Other listeners sent in questions wondering what type of compromise between Congress and the administration might unfold and Bob speculated on the potential for compromise and the likelihood for going to continuing resolution. Listener Peter sent in the URL for the earlier mentioned Dr. Harrison article. You can download the article at www.rightsidenews.com/2010060210427/editorial/the-chasm-between-apollo-and-the-gulf.html. Jerry called in to defend the Obama program suggesting it would be a pipe dream to think that shuttle would be extended. Bob debated with Jerry that the administration plan does not reduce overall costs and they talked about the recent GAO report on Constellation. I stepped into this particular discussion by referring to the printing press comments made on an earlier Classroom show by Dr. Hertzfeld and suggested that since the printing press money was in full force anyway, it was a matter of choice as to what it was being used for and could be used for space, the point made by Dr. Hertzfeld. But let me be clear, nobody including Henry recommended or believes that printing press money should be used for anything including space. If you have not done so, you should listen to Lesson 9 on the Classroom from June 1. In the remaining minutes of the show, Bob updated us on the strange bat fungus problem that is spreading. Bob did a good job in explaining the fungus, what it is doing to a specific species of bats and the caves where they live and how the fungus has spread beyond the East Coast. We will continue to follow this strange problem with Bob when he is a guest on the program. If you have questions or comments for Bob Zimmerman, you can find his email address near the bottom of his website, http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3cxxp/zimbib.htm which is zimmerman at asw dot org or you can forward it to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

The Space Show Classroom Lesson 10 Space Policy, Sunday, 6-6-10 (51.45MB; download) -- Guests: Classroom, Dr. Eligar Sadeh, Dr. John Jurist. Topics: Lesson 10 U.S. Space Policy, what it is, how its made. See The Space Show Classroom blog, Lesson 10 Archive Notes for regarding this show. Lesson 10 got underway in the first segment with Dr. Sadeh talking about the nature of political policy, some of the players in formulating space policy, and the priorities for NASA in the context of overall US government policy. As you will hear, space policy is typically a means to another end. Dr. Sadeh provided us with several examples underscoring this perspective. In response to a listener question, Dr. Sadeh identified four space policy segments that overlap in terms of making policy. These segments were civil space, commercial space, military space, and intelligence space. He further defined each group into subsets. For example, civil space would include NASA but also NOAH. Don't miss this set of definitions and explanations as we can use it for most all of our space policy discussions. Toward the end of this segment, we talked about the Falcon 9 launch and its impact on policy and then I asked Eligar if the policy makers were at all concerned about the economics and costs of their policy, for example the cancellation of Ares 1 and the sunk cost of about $9 billion plus another 2+ billion to terminate the program. Dr. Sadeh had some interesting things to say about policy makers and this type of concern and awareness but then our program was abruptly terminated as ATT dropped Dr. Sadeh's iPhone call. After a short break to reconnect with Dr. Sadeh and his ATT iPhone, we continued discussing the economic awareness and concern of policy makers and I mentioned what was said on an earlier show about Europeans making plans for programs around the return to the Moon and then finding that the Moon was no longer on the table as result of the new policy proposals announced by the Obama Administration on Feb. 1. Eligar commented on the wide ranging impact of policy and how often such impact and collateral damage is not well thought out by those making the policy. We inquired about policy as inspiration for education, STEM, careers, etc. None of that is a primary concern of most policy makers. Bruce from Canada called with comments and questions about our extremely partisan system of government and how destructive it was for good policy making. Our panel had much to say about this so don't miss the discussion. This led us to talk about business as usual, vested interests and all three of us, Dr. Jurist, Dr. Sadeh, and I had lots to say in this arena. Dr. Jurist commented on the increasing complexity and fragmentation going on in government and the country, making it even harder to establish quality policy and not just with regards to space. Later in the segment, I asked Eligar who the policy makers were and he named a few but mostly talked about the OSTP, the National Security Council (NSC), and Congress. We talked about the influence of NewSpace and space advocacy on policy and we said it was increasing and used the FAA AST. Toward the end of the program, we talked about Congress going to continuing resolution (CR) for the FY 11 budget and that the system is set up for feedback from the people through Congress and our elected representatives far more so than our communication with OSTP or the NSC. Space as a jobs program for policy makers was addressed as well as human spaceflight issues. Eligar offered an interesting way to view policy for human spaceflight when asked if the Administration plan was truly a possible end to human spaceflight as many suggest. We ended the program talking about National Security Space Strategy and the need for a national space strategy for the country. Post your comments and questions for this program to the Classroom blog, http://spaceshowclassroom.wordpress.com. Prior to closing, Dr. Sadeh talked about his space consulting business, www.astroconultinginternational.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:17:03 UTC

Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Friday, 6-4-10 (43.30MB; download) -- Guest: Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl. Topics: European space policy. We welcomed Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Director of the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) to the show. Please visit their website for more information at www.espi.or.at. In our first segment, Dr. Schrogl told us what ESPI was and what they do. Note that he stressed they were a think tank, not an academic research center or educational institution. During this discussion, we compared and contrasted many aspects of European space policy with policy here in the States. Our guest also stressed public private partnerships and space cooperation. Later in this segment, I asked the question about the impact of European and Euro economic problems on space spending and planning in Europe. You might be surprised with his response to that question. In the second segment, we talked about a Transatlantic space policy perspective. Here, our guest explained European space policy goals and plans and opportunities. We also inquired about the European general population and its concern for spending on space versus other issues here on the ground. As you will hear, this type of concern and question is diminishing in Europe so you don't want to miss the discussion and explanation. It seems Europeans have far more of a space awareness level than we do here in the United States. Another issue that came up was the focus we in the States have on going to Mars. Dr. Schrogl talked about the importance to Europe of the ISS and even returning to the Moon, not so much Mars. STEM education in Europe came up and we compared that to the U.S. too. Don't miss this analysis! We learned that space tourism was a big and important issue along with space debris management. Dr. Schrogl then told us about the Draft Rules of the Road Code of Conduct paper his organization produced. You can find it at www.espi.or.at/images/stories/dokumente/Perspectives/espi%20perspectives_32.pdf. In our third and final segment, we continued discussing the Code of Conduct and added in the issue of space traffic management. We then switched to ITAR, both its impact in the U.S. and throughout Europe. Dr. Schrogl also explained that there was no European wide ITAR equivalent but that each member state had its own type of ITAR which resulted in some overlapping of important issues. Operationally Responsive Space came up and we learned that there is both a military and a civilian approach to this subject in Europe. If you have a question or comment for our guest, Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl, please email him at kai-uwe.schrogl@espi.or.at. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Sat, 05 Jun 2010 17:36:37 UTC

Classroom Lesson 9 Launch Systems, Tuesday, 6-1-10 (65.05MB; download) -- Guests: CLASSROOM. Dr. Henry Hertzfeld, Dr. John Jurist, Dr. Jim Logan. Topics: Lesson 9 Launch Systems Analysis and Economics. We focused on launch system economics, markets, demand, and the definition of commercial versus government launchers. In segment one, Dr. Hertzfeld defined commercial which as you will hear was no easy task to do. While we considered definitions based on the type of contract and the customer, we looked to the party assuming the risk to determine commercial status. I asked Henry for the track record of government as an enabler of industry and mentioned the usual examples of airmail the railroads, and interstate highways. As you will hear, government has the potential to be an enabler of private industry but in the examples cited, Dr. Hertzfeld pointed out that there was already demand and a market so what government did was to improve development of an existing market. This is not the case for the launch industry because here the market for commercial other than for satellites has not yet been developed so government as an enabler must actually attempt to develop a market, not just make it more efficient. Examining cost plus contracting as opposed to fixed price contracts was next. We talked about COTS, a Space Act Agreement, and a Requirements contract, something that was used frequently by the coal and railroad industries and has some similarities to the launch industry. Listeners asked about lowering launch prices to stimulate market development and demand. As you will hear, Henry said the launch demand is inelastic so lowering prices does not mean much. Our discussion turned to examining risks. Before this segment ended, we talked about the possibility of seeing a truly commercial launch industry evolve in several years where one does not partner with the government which is the case today. Our panel suggested that because of extremely regulated nature of the launch industry, partnering with the government is going to be the nature of the business. Segment two started re the upcoming Falcon 9 launch and the possibility of undue pressure on the company given the launch timing and the space policy debate going on in government. We talked about the GAP and the problems caused by continuing to cancel government programs. This led to an entire discussion on the subject, the consequences of one program cancellation after another on those thinking of careers in the field, education, and more. This discussion took us back to talking about the uncertainty risk and the consequeseunces for having a system with this type of risk in the project. The Field of Dreams approach came up and our panel did not think highly of this approach to space development/the launch industry. Nuclear rockets came up again and while all of us want to see nuclear rocket propulsion developed, we were not sure it would change the demand curve of the elasticity of launcher demand. We agreed that the culture in the U.S. is still going to be a challenge to overcome to do anything nuclear in space plus the various NPT's do not permit nuclear propulsion in space. I asked our panel why we don't fund space development and treat it with the importance all of us believe space represents for our future. I'm not sure we came up with a plausible answer to this often asked question but it does seem to require an answer, especially as we look at new space policy designed on limitations and what can be afforded or not afforded. If space is so vital, affording it should not be a question. Henry even said that government could choose to pay for space development even in these hard times. Its a political choice and a leadership issue. I then related a personal experience that I recently had at a local film festival and asked the panel how they would have responded. Post all questions and comments on the blog, http://spaceshowclassroom.wordpress.com. Emails to me will be posted on the blog.

Diane Murphy, Monday, 5-31-2010 (41.48MB; download) -- Guest: Diane Murphy. Topics: Rocket Racing League (RRL). We welcomed Diane Murphy of the Rocket Racing League (www.rocketracingleague.com) to the show. In our first segment, Ms. Murphy talked about the Rocket Racing League, what it is, what it has done so far and it what it will be doing in the future. She explained the air frame and the rocket engine and told us about the manufacturers of each. She also said that the air frame structure determines the performance of the vehicle, not the rocket motor. Diane also talked about the recent Tulsa Air Show and the vehicle flights and more. Later in this segment, we talked about the pilots and their qualifications, as well as the fact that RRL was for the time being making the racers. Since all racers were alike, the contests focus on the skills of the pilots. Diane did explain the typical flight profile for a racer in this section. It was also mentioned that some point it might be possible to have a passenger fly along with a pilot for ride purposes. We also talked about noise abatement and learned that it was not applicable to the racers. Diane said the racers fly about 300 mph but need to stay as close to the ground for thrills. Spectator safety was talked about and stressed. In the second segment we talked about future point to point racing, media rights and income for the RRL, and regulations through the experimental aircraft rules, not the AST rocket launching rules. Diane said that the RRL was started about four years ago and that its role modeling not only NASCAR but the Red Bull races. We talked about the ethanol fuel and also the gaming applications for the iPhone, iPad Touch, and more. In the third and final segment, Diane mentioned the RRL X-Racers Club and becoming a member. We also talked about the racers and vertical flight, and the RRL usage of social media for promotion. I asked Diane for a look at the RRL five years out so be sure to hear where the RRL is headed. The last set of listener questions dealt with the rocket motor's reusability and green capabilities. If you have questions or comments for Diane Murphy, you can email her at press@xracing.com.

Chris Carberry, Sunday, , 5-30-10 (53.21MB; download) -- Guest: Chris Carberry. Topics: Explore Mars, Inc, Mars goals and time tables. Chris Carberry is the Executive Director and co-founder of the new organization, Explore Mars, Inc. (www.exploremars.org) which was created to promote science and technology innovation and education with a use for Mars Exploration. In our first segment, Chris went into detail as to why his group thought it necessary to form a new Mars organization and he explained their early focus on prizes. In general, he said prices would range from around $10,000 to $100,000 and would be designed to jump start technologies and education. He described two early prizes, a technology price offering $50,000 and an education prize for a Mars curriculum. Chris explains both of these prizes in detail so don't miss this discussion. Later in this segment, Chris fielded some listener questions and one asked about possible prizes and a focus on Martian robotic teams for robotic cave exploration on Mars. As you will hear, our guest asked for ideas and suggestions for additional prizes. Another listener questioned the effectiveness of prizes if we can't get to Mars for decades. Chris explained how such prizes stimulate interest in science and more. In our second segment, listener Anthony from the UK had questions about a Mars timeline of 2030 for Explore Mars, the Obama plan for 2035 and Chris offered his analysis. Don't miss what Mr. Carberry had to say about this. This discussion then evolved to a focus on heavy lift and here Chris had much to say. In fact, when pressed as to what type of compromise might come about with Congress and the administration re space policy, Chris suggested heavy lift would be an area for such compromise. Chris said his new organization was starting to push the Mars message in Congress. He also said going to the Moon first was fine as long as we did not get bogged down and stuck on the Moon. Toward the end of this segment, the issue of going to Phobos first came up. This is another discussion you do not want to miss. In the third and final segment, Chris told us about the Explore Mars agriculture workshop that they are planning, their online magazine, and we talked about Mars jobs and internships, educational outreach, and more. We asked Mr. Carberry more questions about what he thought a compromise would like regarding space policy and he again focused on heavy lift. He repeated their need for volunteers, ideas, and suggestions for meeting the goals of Explore Mars, Inc. Visit their website at www.exploremars.org for more information about joining in with this organization on its Mars projects. If you have a question or comment for Chris Carberry, please send it to him at carberry@exploremars.org. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 31 May 2010 15:41:54 UTC

Michael Potter, Friday, 5-28-10 (40.29MB; download) -- Guest: Michael Potter. Topics: "Orphans of Apollo," commercial space. Michael Potter was the guest to discuss his documentary film, "Orphans of Apollo" and the first Los Angeles screening which was to take place in San Pedro (Los Angeles) the evening of Friday, May 28, 2010. To find out more about the film, please visit www.orphansofapollo.com. In addition, the film is available through Amazon on the One Giant Leap Foundation (OGLF) book page (after the Memorial Day weekend) so if you buy it from www.onegiantleapfoundation.org, Amazon makes a contribution to The Space Show/OGLF. During our first segment, Mr. Potter described the LA screening of the film in San Pedro and the sponsors for the screening including the 62 Mile Club, AIAA, and the Space Frontier Foundation. Michael then proceeded to tell the story behind his documentary film. This is the story about the effort of a handful of visionaries who came very close to buying the Mir Space Station to using it for true commercial space development. In the second segment, we talked about the challenge of the time between the Mir Corp buying and commercially operating the Mir Space Station as compared to the ISS, plus potential commercial usage on the ISS. Our guest brought up the Bigelow Aerospace space stations and the fact that they will be commercial and of course their were many listener questions about possible government interference in the Mir Corp venture as well as the possibility of such interference taking place today as efforts to commercialize space continue. I asked Michael about the long lasting impact of the Mir venture on space policy makers today. Don't miss his comments in reply to this question. As we started the third and final segment of the program, a listener asked Michael potter how the film was made. In answering this question, Michael explained the availability and use of the still pictures take with a very early digital camera as well as the video that was taken by Rick and others during the meetings and negotiations. Many listeners asked Mr. Potter questions about Walt Anderson and his part in the Mir venture, even if is legal problems were a result of his involvement with Mir Corp and this venture. For full information on the legal issues surrounding the Walt Anderson case, you are directed to the website, www.justiceforwalt.com. Much of this last segment focused on the role Walt played in the Mir venture and given the numerous interviews I have conducted with Walt, I shared some of the information Walt told Space Show listeners during his interviews. If this interests you, I urge you to visit the website mentioned above and to listen to the Walt Anderson interviews on The Space Show. Michael Potter left us with some final words encouraging us to live the dream and never give up. If you have questions or comments for Michael Potter, you can email him using the Contact link on the website, www.orphansofapollo.com.

David Hook, Monday, 5-24-10 (41.60MB; download) -- Guest: David Hook. Topics: SUSTAIN, space commerce, space policy, space economics. David Hook returned for this Space Show program to discuss several topics pertaining to commercial space development and policy. In our first segment, we reviewed the SUSTAIN conference from last year and talked about the Technology Roadmap that was developed from the conference but not activated. This led to a listener question about a news article about one Franz Gayl who was one of the leaders of the SUSTAIN conference and roadmap development but is now under fire for being a whistle blower about Marine and GI troop safety in combat. The listener said the the story came from an AOL News article at www.aolnews.com. Not only did Mr. Hook discuss this but several callers provided us with comments about Mr. Gayl including Dr. Jurist who worked with him at the SUSTAIN conference. Don't miss the praise bestowed upon Franz Gayl. In our second segment, listeners finished the Gayl story and then we turned to the recent Space Economy Leadership Summit that Mr. Hook attended on May 5 in Austin, Texas. You can find out more about this special meeting at www.spaceeconomyleadership.org. Human spaceflight was a major pat of the agenda and Dave shared with us some of the economic analysis for commercial spaceflight referenced at the Summit. He also talked about risk assessment and the idea that we are too risk averse. Several listener questions dealt with the risk subject but it was not until later in the final segment that a listener asked about protecting the people from the risk of a runaway regulatory happy government. During the third and final segment, Mr. Hook talked about the comments made by several of the speakers including Patti Grace Smith, Greg Pelton of Cisco, George Sowers of ULA, and Buzz Aldrin who spoke at the end of the meeting. Listen to what these people had to say as reported by our guest. These are comments you do not want to miss. As we neared the end of the show, we talked more about the regulatory risk and Mr. Hook commented that small businesses growth was to some degree dependent on the larger spaceflight industry so to the degree that it may suffer in these economic times, so might small space business development. If you have comments or questions for David Hook, please email him at david.hook@planehook.com. His website is www.planehook.com.

OPEN LINES, Sunday, 5-2310 (69.63MB; download) -- Guest: Open Lines with Dr. David Livingston. Topics: Nuclear rockets and propulsion, bone loss, radiation, VASIMR. This Open Lines program was a two hour plus discussion without a break regarding many issues ranging from space policy to nuclear propulsion. The VASIMR was again a focal point for discussion and this took us into a lengthy discussion of nuclear propulsion. Nuclear Thermal Rockets were the main topic but other nuclear propulsion concepts were discussed. This seemed to be the overwhelming topic as caller after caller talked about nuclear propulsion as well as radiation. Following up on earlier programs about bone loss issues for long duration space flight, several callers had ideas for minimizing bone loss. Fortunately, one of the Classroom specialists on the subject, Dr. Jurist, was listening and he called in as well as sent in messages explaining why this or that theory would not help retard bone loss for these longer space missions. A listener also called in about using hydrofluoric acid for Insitu development of the lunar regolith. Toward the end of the program, we received calls about the current space policy debate. At one point during this show, Dr. Jurist asked for my thoughts on STEM education and this led to one of my typical rants but also my referring back to the outstanding program on this issue with Dr. Neville Marzwell on May 2, 2010. If you have not yet heard this program with Dr. Marzwell, please do. The specific URL for it is http://archived.thespaceshow.com/shows/1354-BWB-2010-05-02.mp3. I also offered to do a few very informal polls on The Space Show. Let us know by email if you are interested in more programming on nuclear propulsion or if you think we have had enough on the subject for awhile. Also, regarding Open Lines programs, would you like to see a second Open Lines show each month or should I keep the Open Lines to one program a month. If you have any comments or questions for any of the callers on this program, send your comments to me and tell me who I should send them to and I will forward your note to the appropriate person.
