2022/09/08

We are all human beings. We have our own incentives to achieve goals in our lives. In the Space-game, incentive for progress depends mostly on how you decide to do space. SpaceX offers engineers of all ages the opportunity to be a part of something revolutionary, like making life interplanetary. NASA offers the best and brightest a chance to join the royal ranks of the United States space program to uphold and progress the legacy of this legendary organization. SpaceX opted to fail fast and learn

2022/09/02

On this episode we are catching up after a busy, but scrub-filled week here in Florida. The first launch attempt for Artemis 1 scrubbed on Monday 8/29/22 originally due to an Engine 3 cooling issue. We discuss what went wrong and the balance that NASA has to strike as they learn their Space Launch System on the fly. Meanwhile, SpaceX launched twice while I've been here, once on the east coast and once on the west coast. Why is NASA having such a hard time? We go over all of that in the second half

Hello space-folks! We are here at the eve of the Artemis 1 and getting very excited for launch day. We've travelled to Florida to help cover the launch and cannot wait to share more after Space Launch System and Orion take off to the moon! This episode I share my thoughts on launch day, and how insanely packed with people it will be. We also talk about the night launch I watched (my first night launch/second launch ever) of a SpaceX Falcon 9 which was the best appetizer to SLS you could ask for. We

We all have our own balance, and we can "hack" our inbalance by thinking outside the box....like having a podcast episode dedicated to only recording WHILE I walk so that I feed the podcast addiction, and a health benefit is included. Instead of saying "I can't" or "I don't have time" I am trying

We are living in a post-JWST world and already the amazing piece of space technology is a suitable successor for the Hubble Space Telescope. And NASA/ESA/CSA are just getting started, as images continue to be released and show us even more about the unseen infrared spectrum of the universe. We share a whole lot of info in this episode, including: What to look for when you're looking at JWST

2022/06/29

This episode, we dive into the balance of being a human-being in a demanding and engaging career in STEM, specifically Technology & Engineering. Even more so at a place like SpaceX, Blue Origin, or NASA (to name a few). While the job can very technical and detail oriented, there’s also the fact that you’re still a human-being and it’s a difficult challenge. You have to juggle your desire to do cool science stuff with not getting completely overwhelmed by the work to the point you have a breakdown

This week we discuss the nuanced topic of launch independence, the ability of a single country to continue their space programs regardless of global conflict that might interrupt international partnerships like the ISS and other space ventures. Given the continuing conflict in Ukraine, this story continues to develop. NASA also rolled out the SLS for the first time from the VAB to Pad 39B, which marks a momentus moment for Artemis 1 just around the corner. Looking forward to seeing that rocket in

2022/01/21

This week, there have been some thoughts brewing that I keep circling back to. It's got some layers: What kind of skills will the first humans living on another planet need to survive? What is the first 50-100 years of humans living in space going to be like? If people are living somewhere, they'll need money - what is that going to be like on Mars? This line of thinking started with the remote assembly of JWST in space by humans on Earth, and tied in with an article from Interesting Engineering

There's a lot we will learn about existence after the big bang thanks to JWST, and we know that Hubble changed the way we look at space. Who doesn't have a Hubble pic on their computer?
