Today In Space

This week the timing of everything Starhopper worked out and I was able to sit in front of the microphone and watch the 150m test launch for SpaceX. While the first day was scrubbed, there was solid space-talk about Starhopper, how to make spaceships and rockets cheaper, the power of iterative design, 3D printing, and more. Just an Aerospace Engineer, a microphone, and a launch hangout as we talk everything SpaceX, Starhopper, Starship, and more! https://twitter.com/sciguyspace/status/1164184942978502656?s=21 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3772474 3D Printing Time-lapse and Assembly of the hand-held Starhopper from AG3Dprinting: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B1qvZbEBQII/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet EryDayAstronaut Live Broadcast of first launch attempt (lot's of good space talk here- Tim's great at what he does!

This past week was really busy, and I wanted to refocus myself for the week ahead. So, here's another installment of the Balance in this week's Personal Log. We all have a balance for success, and we're all human and get off the wagon. I'm sharing my struggles and achievements of personal development in the hopes it starts a discussion about things like mental health, personal well being, and simply taking care of yourself. At the very least, it's a place for me to talk about the human side of science. Plus, this is a space science show and last I checked we are all still in human form. If we can't handle ourselves on Earth, how are we expected to survive in the infinite vacuum of space without going mad or becoming unstable? Will we just continue the madness we see today but on other planets?? Never mind actually having a colony on another planet like Mars and not have it dissolve into complete anarchy. So, let's start talking about the human side of science - I'll start.

This past week I had the chance to visit Johnson Space Center while I was in Texas! I wanted to share my thoughts on my first time there, including some tips on what to see and where I stayed - I still want to go back and see more of it. It's a pretty interesting area, and I love Texas. It also made me think of my early influences for space and science - because I got to see a Space Shuttle up close and personal for the first time EVER! So much space nerding - and you can see my pictures and videos on our instagram page @todayinspacepod There weren't many guides I found on what to see at JSC - but I did find this great guide if you find yourself in Houston! https://spacetourismguide.com/visit-johnson-space-center/ We've got a lot of Orbital news to catch up on next week - a busy summer of space 2019! Spread Love - Spread Science! Alex G. Orphanos

Happy 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing! In this special edition of the podcast, I will be sharing my thoughts on the Apollo60th, and hope to cover it from an angle you haven't heard before. To start, we have a launch hangout using the audio from the Saturn V launch on July 16th, 1969 and we finish off with my thoughts on the influence of the Apollo 11 moon landing 50 years later. I also share my logic against the age old argument that "We shouldn't put money and resources into a space program when there are so many things we could use that money for down on Earth". I hope you enjoy! I'm off to the Houston Space Center next week! If you have any recommendations of what to see when I'm out there - please let me know! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48857752 https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/apollo11_audio.html https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:266725

This last week was packed full of space! I got to attend a public conversation at the Boston Public Library where Robert Stone and Alan Andres spoke about 'Chasing the Moon' and everything Apollo as the 50th is coming up this week July 16-20th. Lots of NASA centers to celebrate at, see links below for more. In Orbital News, we go over SpaceX's Starhopper test on Tuesday, LightSail2, Hayabusa2, India's Moon mission launch (day episode was released), and we cover the change at NASA for leadership of the Human Exploration and Operations division. Something that will definitely have an effect on the success of the Artemis mission in 2024. Hopefully this former astronaut returning from the private sector will bring the government back what it needs to accomplish the goal in 5 years. Have a great week! Don't forget to catch the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 mission on July 20th thanks to NASA! https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1149550157068812290 http://www.planetary.org/explore/projects/lightsail-solar-sailing/images/lightsail-1-in-space-vs-ground-test.html https://twitter.com/exploreplanets/status/1149789931453030400 https://www.cnet.com/news/elon-musk-spacex-starship-aims-for-crucial-hover-test-july-16/ https://www.boeing.com/space/starliner/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_(spacecraft) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oedz4MoMHaY https://twitter.com/haya2e_jaxa/status/1149225624105410561 https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/fs-2014-08-004-jsc-orion_quickfacts-web.pdf https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-celebrates-50th-anniversary-of-historic-moon-landing-with-live-tv-broadcast/

This week I got carried away after SpaceX tweeted video from the Falcon Heavy STP-2 mission where the camera was attached to the fairing they recovered thanks to Ms. Tree. It's really amazing how much inspiration and learning you get for everyone when a company like SpaceX takes NASA's tact of sharing their development for everyone to see. The simple act of sharing a video of what it looks like to recover a fairing from a rocket literally gave me enough energy and excitement to write a 20 minute episode. Imagine what else and who else this act of free sharing is inspiring. Which leads me to the second point of this week's podcast - from my research into Space History, thanks to the book Chasing the Moon. Space Programs that do great things take a while to accomplish - 5-10 years. If we learn anything from the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, its that the trend shows interest in the program fades before the mission is finished and fully funded. How does NASA adjust in 2019 to make sure that support stays with the Artemis program so that we see the first woman and next man to walk on the moon in 2024? I also finish with my sporadic impression of JFK as I go through Part 2 of the "We choose to go to the Moon" speech at Rice University in 1962. Getting excited for the Apollo 11 50th anniversary next week (July 16-20th). Reach out if you'd like us to cover anything space related!

As part of the lead up to the Apollo11 moon landing 50th anniversary, I want to start by sharing a part of one of JFK's most famous space speeches and moments. In Orbital News, we review the night launch of the third Falcon Heavy mission (STP-2) and give some reusability stats. We also discuss one of the payloads on board from the Planetary Society, as well as a follow-up of the MakeItRain mission from Rocket Lab. I wish you a happy Independence Day! Enjoy the week.

In this episode, hangout with your Science Communicator Alex for the first commercial launch of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy. They attempted to land all three rockets, two side boosters and one center core, on land and at sea on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You". SpaceX also attempted to recover the two fairings for the first time, enabling more reusability of each part of the rocket, driving the cost to go to space dramatically! They launched the ArabSat 6A satellite that will provide for communication coverage for people in the Middle East and Africa. Launch Hangouts are just that - a hangout. We watch a launch, share some extra knowledge you won't get in the live broadcast, and you get to enjoy the reactions of space nerds! I can't wait to go see a launch LIVE and in-person. The most difficult thing about going to see a launch is you need to take a few days off of work just in case the launch gets delayed. From my research, it seems like you need 5 days to play it safe. This launch was delayed twice, and almost had to be delayed a few days later due to the launch window. But I want to go see a launch this summer, and thanks to SpaceX's launch schedule that's a possibility! See you on the Space Coast this summer!

Personal Log...Earth Date: March 12, 2019. After a few months away, Alex returns to explore a thought he has been obsessed with - balance. Balance in life, balance in work, balance in all things. But most importantly, how balance plays a part in science and engineering. Alex uses NASA and SpaceX as perfect examples to explain how each approach, science or engineering, can be used to solve problems. But he also dives into where the balance is off, and how the 'Launch America' program could bring balance back to the force to bring us an interplanetary future for the human race. This week's audiobook recommendation: 'The Dichotomy of Leadership' by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

On this episode, Alex talks about entering Year 5 of the Today In Space podcast and looks at how both he and the podcast have evolved since the beginning, as well as plans for what the focus of the podcast will be moving forward in 2019. Alex also previews the planned missions for 2019. These missions are coming up in the new year, and you can preview a whole year of spaceflight in this 10 minute breakdown. 2019 Missions: New Horizons Flyby of Ultima Thule, OSIRIS-REx at Asteroid Bennu, Hayabusa-2 at Asteroid Ryugu, Mars INSIGHT, Boeing CST-100 Starliner, SpaceX Dragon 2, Commercial Crew Program, Virgin Galactic's first space flight, Blue Origin's first crewed flight Finally, Alex discusses the momentum of all-things-space as we enter 2019.

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about a 'Space Force'. But there are also new Space Policy Directives for NASA moving forward. In order to talk about these issues, given the state of US politics and news, we turned to science for a way to share the facts and help you come to your own conclusion. We set up a thought experiment where we asked what effect a Space Force and the new Space Policy Directives for NASA would have on the space industry? To be scientific, first Alex shares his biases, then goes over the facts (links below), a brief history of NASA politics for context, and then we lay out some possible pros and cons. Then, the thought experiment begins - what do you think about the new NASA Space Policy Directives? What do you honestly think about a Space Force? With some facts, some history, and some pros and cons - you'll be equipped to have your own opinion, and we hope you do in the comments! By using a thought experiment, we're trying to discuss politics and science in a smarter way. We'll see what happens! Let us know what you think.

We had the opportunity to interview Brian Stofiel of Stofiel Aerospace who with his daughter are launching 3D printed rockets and making space more accessible to everyone. Brian stated that with their launch system, if you came to them wanting to launch on Monday, then they could have your payload in orbit by Friday. We touched on so many different topics, including industry bias, the need and challenges of rapid launching giving everyone access to space, creating a generational program to help future asteroid mining, starting and running a business with your daughter, and the possibilities of what's to come when we expand into the infinite expanse of the universe. Buckle up, and get ready to, as Stofiel Aerospace says, fly high and burn hard!

Alex shares his thoughts on the effects the Sun has on the Earth, as well as any Star. What kind of effects, other than temperature can a star have on it's orbiting bodies? He also discusses that even in science, there can be resistance to change by some. This week's influence came from listening to episode #1124 of the Joe Rogan Experience with special guest Robert Schoch. A great listen and a recommended listen or watch. You can find Robert Schoch's work at www.robertschoch.com

In this episode, Alex and special guest John take on Automation, AI, and Driverless Cars to question when technological improvement goes too far. At what point do you say - "That's Too Far!"? We challenged ourselves to think about the future and what possible outcomes could happen with all kinds of automation. Although the future will be more different than we can imagine, thinking ahead can better prepare us for certain things to come. Today in Space is about all things space - that includes the future. We hope you enjoy this episode! If you have any ideas for future "That's Too Far!" segments let us know in the comments below!
