2023/03/29

On this episode, Alex reviews some of the most interesting Space from March in this final episode of the month! We have a busy April in Space, but let's not forget all the amazing things that happened in this 3rd month of 2023: Relativity Space successfully launches the test flight for Terran 1, an 85% 3D printed rocket that has now showcased that 3D printed structures (at least made with the Stargate printer) can handle the maximum forces of rocket launch! iSpace's Hakuto-R lunar lander has made

On this episode, Alex discusses Relativity Space and their 3D printed rocket Terran 1 which took to the pad twice, went through both 3 hour windows for launch, and scrubbed both times. BUT still have a rocket to try and launch again on March 22 10PM EDT. While scrubs hurt us emotionally, they are part of having a safe rocket industry - and we were very impressed with what we say out of Relativity Space and Terran 1. We discuss 3D printing and space combining and how it could help revolutionize

On this episode (NUMBER 300!), we welcome Kevin Kelly, the CEO of Arcfield on the podcast and it was a GREAT conversation about all-thiings space. We discussed satellite technology, and how valuable the freedom to communicate is for space and humanity. Beaming the internet from space has brought space into the domain of war and national defense, so we were glad to have Kevin on to explain. We learn about the high standards that intelligence equipment and satellites (and communication) go through

On this episode, Alex shares his thoughts in the wake of the Crew 6 mission where NASA will send two NASA Astronauts, a UAE Astronaut, and Russian Cosmonaut to the International Space Station onboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon vehicle. Human spaceflight has a history tied to defense and war, from the base technology of rockets (V2 Rocket), and the Space Race to the moon between the US and Soviet Russia, and the eventual Apollo-Soyuz docking in the middle of the Cold-War. Even today, while Ukraine and

On this episode, we are honored to have both Co-Founder & CEO Ed Mehr and VP of Business Development Alex Huckstepp of Machina Labs on to chat. We discussed how their robotic blacksmiths are enabling Aerospace applications with sheet metal that were previously impossible to achieve. Aluminum, INVAR, Titanium and more - all possible to sheet form in a decentralized way with robotics and machine learning. We also learn about Ed & Alex's own STEM origin stories, and what got them into the STEM field in

2023/02/12

On this episode, we look back at 5 years of the Falcon Heavy and what that inaugural launch means today. The Tesla Roadster and Starman was iconic, and the double landing of both side boosters blew everyone's minds. After the 5th FH launch in January 2023, how far have we come? For me, it's a flaashback to my days working in Apple Retail, sitting in my car after my shift and waatching the inaugural launch. I've come a long way since then, and so have the entire space industry and especailly Human

We're discussing how SpaceX's Starship had it's first full wet dress rehearsal in Boca Chica, Texas at Starbase. As well as an update from the Polaris Dawn crew training: they recently completed some decompression sickness training for when the attempt depressurizing the Dragon Capsule to conduct the highest altitude spacewalk from Earth, that wasn't done around the Moon.

On this episode, our iMac has entered a blackhole of corrupt data so our usual studio is not operational. While I spent my free time since the last episode "troubleshooting" this issue (now resolved...hopefully), I was able to record some Space, Walk, & Talk thoughts and wanted to see what YOU thought?

On this episode, we take some time to discuss the annoucement surround dearMoon as we now know the crew selection! These are exciting times for the abundant opportunities for civilians to go to Space. These are also dark and complex times, and some of the online STEM community offered criticism and comparisons to Mars One. To me, summoning the Mars One mission is like awarding someone the Darwin Award - for extreme cases only, and not to be given out lightly. Let's crack down this confusingly human

We discuss why the rockets ENABLE access to space, and what the world was and might be without the Falcon 9. From reusability to lower $$/kg to orbit, SpaceX's workhorse launch system has done many things in it's young life, with its 178 launches and only 32 boosters to date! The Falcon 9 has even changed the course of America's space program and is paving the way to

We discuss how similar this "alien invasion" of wasps is to what might happen if ACTUAL aliens invaded. Consider this our Halloween episode, as this sci-fi horror turned reality has been consuming our lives the past two weeks.
