Dr. Marcelo Vazquez, Tuesday, 8-22-06 (41.01MB; download) -- Dr. Marcelo Vazquez was the special guest for this Space Show program. This program focused on cosmic radiation, how to shield for it to protect astronauts, what it is, what it does, what is the state of the art in handling cosmic radiation, what does the future hold for long term space flight or settlement and much more. Dr. Vazquez answered many listener questions, compared radiation on the Moon with Mars and in deep space as well as LEO. We also talked cosmic radiation versus other types of radiation, the use of radiation for medical treatment, Ozone shielding, etc. We talked about the future of humans in space, genetic modification for humans to cope with radiation, we talked about the Earth's magnetic field and thick atmosphere to shield us here on the ground, the Martian atmosphere and even some shielding on the surface of the Moon. Don't miss this program. Dr. Vazquez will return to The Space Show as this is an important topic, one that we all need to understand. You can send your comments or questions to Marcelo at vazquez@bnl.gov. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 23 Aug 2006 05:07:49 UTC

Charles Miller, Sunday, 8-20-06 (41.11MB; download) -- Charles Miller, CEO of Constellation Services Incorporated (CSI) returned to The Space Show with this program. Mr. Miller began the discussion with an explanation of the COTS program, what it is and what it is not. From there we discussed the two winners and what NASA is obligated to do with the product developed by both or either of the companies. For example, since COTS is not a services acquisition program but instead a demonstration program, there is nothing to sell to NASA as defined by this type of program. We discussed the market for ISS cargo delivery, the CSI model and partners, and other ways a program could have been developed to support private sector cargo transportation to the ISS. We also discussed suborbital tourism, academic payloads and launch demand, space solar power, and much more. In addition, we talked about space politics and the politics of space, how to get the attention of congress, group congressional visits versus individual visits, and more. You will not want to miss this program as it is timely, important and will be helpful to us as we continue to navigate the tough waters with shores on the public and private side of space development. Please send your comments and questions for Charles Miller to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com and I will forward them to him. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 21 Aug 2006 00:34:32 UTC

Dr. Larry DeLucas, Saturday, 8-19-06 (54.80MB; download) -- Dr. Larry DeLucas joined The Space Show guest family for this program to discuss protein crystallization in microgravity. Dr. DeLucas explained the basics to us, we spoke at length about both pharmaceutical and commercial interest and applications. We discussed space access and its costs in terms of doing something commercial in space regarding protein crystal growth. Dr. DeLucas explained the success ratio, compared it to growing proteins on Earth, talked about the need for a gentle re-entry and what that means, why the g-force will damage the proteins, and much more. We also spoke about science education, funding, NASA's role in this, and also the role of the federal government, NSF, etc. Dr. DeLucas is the expert in this field and this program is most informative about this promising commercial business, practically ready to go right now if we had reliable, routine, affordable space access. For further questions and comments, send what you have for Dr. DeLucas to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com and I will forward them to him. Dr. DeLucas will certain return to The Space Show as a guest.

Monte Davis, Tuesday, 8-15-06 (37.82MB; download) -- Monte Davis was the guest for this Space Show program. Mr. Davis is working on a new book and provided us with some insights into his work. We talked about the love hate relationship with space advocates and NASA, space advocate organizations in general, the classifications Mr. Davis is using for describing spacers. Sure to ruffle feathers and make us all think, Monte offers us classifications that help us identify our space interest and motivation. This is a must listen to program, a program that promises to kick your critical thinking skills into high gear. For questions or comments, you contact Monte Davis at monte.davis@verizon.net.

Mr. Baker began the interview by giving us a history of SpaceHab and then talking about the Apex program and their participation in COTS. He then spent some time explaining COTS to us so that we would clearly understand what the program is and is not. We spent a good portion of the program discussing cargo transport to the ISS, EELV usage, reusability, and related items. We also talked about the development of the ISS, alternate access to the station, MIR, comparisons with some of the MIR programming and facilities with ISS and even Space Station Freedom. Mr. Baker fielded many questions about NASA, the Vision for Space Exploration, we talked about politics and lobbying in the aerospace industry and much more. We also addressed what it is like working for different aerospace companies and how the culture of each company shows up in the workforce. Mr. Baker talked about commercial markets, even without the government or winning COTS. We also talked about suborbital tourism, its potential market, and its importance to developing space commerce.

Joel Powell, Friday, 8-11-06 (54.78MB; download) -- Joel Powell was the guest for this Space Show program. As the focus was on his book about the history of Cape Canaveral, "Go For Launch: An Illustrated History of Cape Canaveral" published by Apogee, we began with a brief history of the Cape. For history buffs, you will certainly enjoy this program as Joel takes us through the history with military rockets, test rockets, commercial efforts and NASA launches over the 56 year history of this rocket center. We talked about the visitor services, the museums, the models of rockets from history on display, the Saturn V in its own hanger, and even the submarine launches off the coast of the Cape. From listening to this program, you will learn a history that most likely is new to you, or at least a large part of it is new to you. You will hear me praise his book throughout this show because it really is a terrific book, pictures, text, captions, all of it. I consider this book a must have for anyone who reads and collects space books. Toward the end of the program, we went through the launch rate per year, finding out why the rate was so high in the peak year and so low right now. You can continue asking questions or comments of the author, Mr. Powell, by sending them to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com. I will promptly forward your messages to Joel Powell.
