Col. Rick Searfoss, 8-8-06 (38.36MB; download) -- Col. Rick Searfoss returned to The Space Show for this Tuesday evening program. We began the interview talking about the commercial space industry and primarily his experience and relationship with XCOR Aerospace. We talked about flying rockets, the Rocket Racing League, suborbital space tourism, safety issues, test flights, and more. As a result of a listener question, Col. Searfoss addressed competition in the suborbital tourism industry and safety given the pressure of competition. Col. Searfoss answered questions about the business market for suborbital tourism, orbital tourism, flight profiles for suborbital flights, and more. He was also asked about the difficulty in flying something like EZ Rocket for a person with only light general aviation or no flight experience. Col Searfoss also has a speaking business where he specializes in bringing leadership and teamwork lessons from human spaceflight to business. Visit his website www.astronautspeaker.com for more information on his speaking business. You can contact Rick Searfoss with your questions, comments, or inquiries regarding his public speaking at Info@AstronautSpeaker.com.

Bryan Palaszewski, Sunday, 8-6-06 (39.63MB; download) -- Bryan Palaszewski was the guest for this Sunday Space Show program. We began the discussion talking about advanced space propulsions, experimental, exotic, and new fuels, and space ship and engine design. Bryan fielded many questions from listeners on a variety of related subjects. We talked about not only advanced and experimental fuels, but methane, nuclear electric and nuclear thermal propulsion, green rocket fuels and engines, frozen hydrogen, water, and much more. This is a show for every level and it will certainly prove helpful in understanding the challenges ahead for us with chemical rockets and other forms of space vehicles. Mr. Palaszewski also spoke about atmospheric mining of the outer planets and in the final minutes of the program, we discussed the VSE and how work on the VSE is related to our propulsion discussion. Listeners can send additional questions or comments to Mr. Palaszewski at his NASA email address, Bryan.A.Palaszewski@nasa.gov.

Dr. Paul Hardersen, Friday, 8-4-06 (69.17MB; download) -- Dr. Paul S. Hardersen returned to this Space Show program. Dr. Hardersen began the interview by discussing important changes happening in the Space Studies Dept. at UND. One of the new developments is that the department has started a search for a new department head. You can read the description for the department head at this location, http://www.space.edu/aerospace/documents/2090%20-%20Space%20Studies%20Chair%20Ad%20Long%20Version%206-06.doc. If you are interested in this position or know someone who might be, contact Dr. Mike Gaffey or Dr. Hardersen at Space Studies. You can find their respective email addresses at www.space.edu. Dr. Hardersen also spoke about asteroids, the observatory and telescope that is being developed at UND, cosmology, peer review, global warming and lots more. You can email Dr. Hardersen at Hardersen@space.edu. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 07 Aug 2006 00:25:18 UTC

Eric Lerner, Thursday, 8-3-06 (27.82MB; download) -- Eric Lerner returned for this Space Show program to continue discussing cosmology and alternative theories. In addition to the cosmology discussion, we also talked about the politics of publishing, getting funded, and the peer review process. This is a powerful discussion that will not want to miss. This special show is a one hour program, all commercials are at the end of it. You can learn more about Eric Lerner and his at the websites listed in his bio and also at www.cosmology.info. The newsletter is published on this website and you are able to download it for free. If you want to ask questions or send Mr. Lerner a comment, please do so through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

Dr. Robert Hoyt, Tuesday, 8-1-06 (41.65MB; download) -- Dr. Robert Hoyt was the guest for this Space Show program. We began the interview with Dr. Hoyt telling us the basics about tethers. Tethers are either momentum exchange tethers or electrodynamics propulsion tethers working with Lorentz force interactions and the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Hoyt then described these types of tethers in greater detail and the type of applications for each tether. In response to a listener question, he talked about being able to use tethers to move the ISS to another orbit though it would take about 18-24 months. We also about using tethers to mitigate space radiation. Dr. Hoyt was asked about work on tethers being carried out in other countries and this took us into a brief but valuable ITAR discussion. He said it bleeds the American space industry and you won't want to miss all his comments on this important subject. Dr. Hoyt talked about the challenges of building a commercial space company on a niche technology, we discussed the concept and value of failure and learning from failures, and we talked about the importance of limiting the use of Power Point presentations in favor of actually doing real work in the company. You can learn more about tethers and Tethers Unlimited, Inc. by visiting their website at www.tethers.com. If you have additional questions or comments for Dr. Hoyt, send them to me in care of drspace@thespaceshow.com and I will forward them to Dr. Hoyt.

Dr. S. Fred Singer, Sunday, 7-30-06 (36.83MB; download) -- Dr. S. Fred Singer was the special guest for this Space Show program. Dr. Singer began the interview with a detailed discussion of his Ph-D Project, going to Mars via the moon Deimos with a base on Deimos and working from the other Martian moon, Photos. Dr. Singer explained why it is easier, less costly, and much faster to go to Deimos than to Mars. This is one of the discussions you must hear as it makes scientific, engineering, and economic sense to launch Mars exploration with this type of plan. Dr. Singer answered many questions about this program including questions dealing rockets, radiation, robotic exploration, science, why go to Mars with humans, and so much more. Again, don't miss it. In the last segment of the program, Dr. Singer discussed the issue of climate change and global warming right here on Earth. Dr. Singer has spent his career studying this subject and is an expert and authority on it, among other issues as well. His discussion is eye-opening, again, a discussion not to be missed. He also talks the straight truth about the politics and academics regarding the global warming issue. Dr. Singer has a terrific website with his articles and newsletters there for everyone to see. Visit www.sepp.org and click on archives, FAQ, and the other index topics. Dr. Singer will take your comments and questions using my email address, drspace@thespaceshow.com.

Eric Lerner, Friday, 7-28-06 (65.41MB; download) -- Eric Lerner returned for this Space Show program. We began the interview with Eric updating us on his fusion work and an AFRL report on propulsion using similar technology to what Eric researches. We then turned our attention to cosmology with an in-depth discussion of black holes and new theories that impact the Big Bang theory. I must say that Eric Lerner is brilliant and amazing and you must hear this program. He was so interesting that we are continuing this discussion Aug. 3, 2006 from 9:30-10:30AM PDT. Don't miss it. During our show today, Eric referenced an important physics paper as a result of a listener question and you can find it at the physics archive, www.arxiv.org, then click on astrophysics, then on Abstract #0505518. Later in the show, he directed us to search out legitimate alternative cosmology theories at www.cosmology.info. In addition to the websites listed in Eric's bio below, check out his other website, www.bigbangneverhappened.org. Eric Lerner forced anyone listening to him to use critical thinking. Don't miss this program. If you do, its clearly your loss! You can email your comments or questions to Eric in care of me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.
