On this episode of People of Science we are pleased to have Avi Loeb on to discuss the scientific mystery of Oumuamua. Avi is an Astrophysicist who's hypothesis on the first detected interstellar object to pass through our solar system looks at all the facts and leads us to challenge humanities greatest question - "Are we alone in the universe?" A true Sherlock Holmes style mystery challenging our logic when the evidence in front of us points to Oumuamua not having a natural origin. First thought

In our final episode of February we wanted to share what to expect in space to start March 2021 (on earth and mars). I share my thoughts on Mars Perseverance Landing and the data we've gathered. The inevitable fake science reporting or poor attention grabbing content sharing fake Mars has returned. Can we get better at this as science communicators? Latest data from Mars rover (images, videos, & more) can be found here: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/images/ Then we close talking about

Catch the replay of the exciting finale of Mars Exploration for this season with the Perseverance Rover Entry, Descent, and Landing for NASA & JPL. A MASSIVE congratulations to the Mars2020 team, quite literally persevering through a pandemic and still accomplishing what so many have failed at before - landing successfully on Mars. Never mind using a rocket powered skycrane to drop

In this episode Alex shares his favorite facts about the two missions of the Mars Triplet this month - Hope & Tianwen-1. We also discuss the ideas of an interplanetary mission to Mars as an amplifier for a country's value and recognition on the world stage. Can a small, young team of engineers and scientists succeed where the most powerful countries in modern history have failed? Can space progress and the ideal of adding to humanities collective knowledge of a planet like Mars be the grounds for

2021/02/04

On this week's episode we sat down and watched both SpaceX Starship high altitude test flights (SN9 & SN8) to compare the two. Both ended in a 'boom', but the 'landing' position was pretty good. How much good data did they get from this launch? Is it enough to continue progress on the Starship program? We'll learn soon enough once SpaceX goes through the debris and analyzes. Best of luck Alex shares his first thoughts and reaction to watching both SN8 & SN9 launches side by side. There are a

We also share some stats on this mission to give it some more context Then we discuss the Balance of the space industry and ask whether or not Space is ready for all these emerging launches of cubesats & satellites, considering last year was a record year for satellite launches. Don't we already have too much orbital debris

We’re talking about some great things to LOOK UP for in the night sky this month, review the latest news since the start of the year, and break down the idea that we’re in the era of Space Race 2.0. The private sector is keeping the space industry strong and while interest is still high, there’s a ton of progress still to come! With a ton of success to build momentum on, SpaceX is doing great things. We bring attention to the person who we think is

It's the end of 2020, and we can't be more excited for this year to end! We've learned a whole bunch along the way, and I wanted to take this last episode of this shitty year to breakdown some lessons and takeaways. Would love to know what you've taken away from this year as well. We've learned alot by seeing SpaceX & NASA work together to achieve great things. I've learned alot about being honest with myself about who I am and what I'm not good at. I also take some time to dive into some of the

Welcome to our Holiday Special! We're gearing up for the end of 2020 (thank goodness) and this week we wanted to break down what makes this Great Conjunction so 'great'. We go over what's happening with these two planets, when it's happened before, and what the Earth was like the last time this astronomical event was happening in 1623 and 1226! Were things as messed up as they are now? You'd be surprised... As is tradition on the podcast, we spend some time on the holiday special discussion the mind

It's been a crazy month of Space so far! On this week's podcast we start by giving you a lightning fast review of all that's happened recently in space, and then we focus on breaking down the SpaceX Starship SN8. Alex explains why the test was a success (go R&D!) and how SpaceX's definition of failure is very different than all the haters and click baiters saying it was a 'failure' Way to go Elon & SpaceX team - y'all are amazing!

This week we had the pleasure of having Cyril Dupuy on the podcast! He’s the CEO of Vaonis, an ex-Aerospace engineer, and extremely passionate about astronomy. We discuss Vaonis’ telescope Stellina and all the ways they are making it easy for ANYONE to view the night sky and guided by their platform’s application. A really great talk with a science based thinker who’s on a mission to innovate astronomy for beginners, children, and anyone who’s not doing it because it’s too complicated to get

This week Alex talks about the 3D printing fire that was prevented due to redundancies, geeks out about the space shuttle, and then discusses the latest success from SpaceX with their 7th time flown Falcon 9 B1049. This kind of progress in space brings about a new era we're watching unfold in real time. To answer last weeks question about how much money rocket customers are saving by using a reused Falcon 9 - we did some research to figure out what the numbers really are and how SpaceX is making

We're slowly getting back to a regular schedule after I was out with COVID. Thanks for your patience! I share what's been on my mind lately, and what kept me preoccupied when I was recovering from COVID. There's been alot of dystopia floating around in my head - and no wonder, its pretty dystopian right now in the real world. Our lives are intertwined with the digital world, there's a pandemic ongoing, and of course - a US election. What else could 2020 bring us? My basic premise this week - is

We had the pleasure of working with them early in the development stages of their design and used 3D printing and iterative design to fast-track their idea from paper to product. Iterative design is a core tenant in the New Space world, we see this concept in real life with SpaceX's Starship and the Falcon 9. Our 3D printing lab AG3D uses that concept to help people

This week has been tough for me - so I hope you're hanging in there. Stress overload. I usually end up thinking 'big picture' and looking to the future when that happens. So for this episode, I pull together some research on how we might make space colonies possible. For me, I'm putting alot of stake into SpaceX's Starship being the vehicle for progressive change to human life on the Moon and Mars.
