During our 11 minute plus discussion, John, Mike Listener, and I talked about the legalities of asteroid mining, resource usage in space, potential issues such as profit sharing, treaty constraints, liability, and government regulation. I believe Michael summed it up well when near the end of our segment, he said that this type of activity was still possibly 20 years away and during that time, the legal issues should be addressed and hopefully resolved.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Richard Godwin back to the program as CEO of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. in Boca Raton, Florida. For more information and contact, visit www.zerogravity.com. During our first segment of this 1 hour 28 minute program, Rich Godwin talked about his path that eventually took him to being CEO of Zero Gravity Solutions. This includes doing work and analysis for SpaceX on DragonLab and eventually being introduced to John Wayne Kennedy in Bethesda which led to the development of Zero Gravity Solutions. Rich then talked about their plant research and stem cell experiments on the ISS of which there have already been several experiments. He talked at length about biofuel from the plant Jatropha, the background for why this plant was selected, and what that are doing with it in microgravity on the ISS. He also spoke about the threat to bananas and their work to make the Cavendish banana resistant to diseases threatening them at this time. We took a call from listener Don who asked about their relationship with CASIS which Rich talked about in detail. CASIS, or the Center for Advancement of Science in Space (www.iss-casis.org), is the intermediary organization formed to facilitate commercial business with the ISS so that it becomes easier to do commercial projects rather by avoiding the need to directly interact with NASA and the government. As part of this discussion, Rich fielded questions about intellectual property, royalties to NASA, and outstanding issues needing to be resolved for companies with IP wanting to do business on the Station. Later, Gus called from Brussels to ask about how the company acquired public status by buying a public shell traded OTC through the pink sheets. We talked about this method of financing, comparing it to traditional IPOs, and their public, commercial platform. In our second segment, we talked about human stem cells, 3 D printing, and why plants were their first priority instead of human projects. Kim emailed in a question about the risk of the ISS being cancelled and wondered what the company Plan B was in case the ISS was retired sooner than everyone wants as that would have a potentially detrimental impact on the company. Another listener asked about Bigelow space stations and if their stem cell experimentation cold be done on a Bigelow station. Rich talked more about DragonLab and up & down capabilities using commercial rockets plus the Soyuz. As the program was ending, he mentioned their new patented product, Formula X and the radiation shielding properties of a new hydrogen product developed by Cella Energy. Please post comments/questions on The Space Show blog. Rich can be reached through their company website. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:31:17 UTC

Visit their website for more information including competition rules, prize information, and more: www.newspacebpc.com. In the first segment of 95 minute program, Tom and Jeff spoke about this year's competition, why it was delayed and separated this year from the NewsSpace Conference. Tom also mentioned having a focus this year on mining given the commercial interest in asteroid mining. Our guests went over the prizes for this year which are substantially higher than in previous years. There is a $100K first price, a $25K second prize and a $5K specialty third prize. Our guests also talked about the rules but we urge those of you interested in the competition to read the rules posted on the website above to make sure your proposed business meets the guidelines of the competition. Jeff spoke with us about the Boot Camp coaching sessions this year starting a day and half before the Oct. 2 competition. Boot Camp, as you will hear, is not open to the public but the competition on Oct. 2nd is a public event. Listeners asked several logistical questions and Curt wanted to know about recent trends, hot topics and such. We talked about mining, 3 D printing and the need for the projects to be space scalable. Visit http://newspacebpc.com/what-is-space-scalable for information on space scalable as this is an important part of the competition. Those entering the competition have a $50 registration fee. Our guests were also asked about oversight on how the prize money is used by the winners. Larry emailed in to inquire about other national business plan competitions & our guests separated student from pro competitions. The NewSpace competition is a pro business plan competition. During the second part of our program, Allison inquired about the past successes and the start of their commercial ventures and Dave Hook emailed in to inquire about IP protection. Later in the segment, I asked our guests about the competition management which is handled by the Exodus Group. As we were nearing the end of our program, we talked about commercial space trends, how the competition has changed and evolved over the years, and some of the highs and lows for Tom and Jeff with the past conferences. If you have comments/questions about this discussion, please post them on The Space Show blog above. You can reach Tom and Jeff through the competition website.

Please direct all comments and questions regarding Space Show programs/guest(s) to the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments and questions should be relevant to the specific Space Show program. Written Transcripts of Space Show programs are a violation of our copyright and are not permitted without prior written consent, even if for your own use.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Ed Wright back to the program to discuss the Space Hacker Workshop to be held at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field, Dallas, Texas July 20-21, 2013. For more information about the event and for online registration at a discount (by a certain date), please visit www.citizensinspace.org. The specific online registration link is http://spacehackerdfw.eventbrite.com. Ed was with us for the entire program which was 1 hour 3 minutes in length. Ed started the discussion with an overview of both Citizens in Space and the Space Hacker Workshop program of which the first was held a few months back in Silicon Valley. Ed then shifted gears to discuss the upcoming Space Hacker Workshop to be held at Love Field in Dallas. He spoke about some of the main speakers including the top people from XCOR. He also said it was a hands on workshop with the participants actually engaging in building things. We went over registration and ticket pricing, plus Ed suggested a hotel for out of town participants. Ed received several listener questions about the workshop and Citizens In Space. For example, a listener asked if Ed's organization had actually paid for the ten XCOR flights he talks about or if he only has a deposit for the fights. Another wanted to know if he had a priority choice with XCOR as to which flights Citizens In Space will get. He was also asked when he thought XCOR would become operational with commercial flights. In a clarification comment, Ed also told us that all the Citizens In Space flights would be citizen science flights. Citizens in Space was not engaging in space tourism per se. We then talked about flight opportunities, what types of projects were wanted and how to get them accepted by Citizens In Space. He said the rules require all experiments & results to be open source. Another listener asked if was competing against the groups that are part of the Next Generation Suborbital Researchers Conference. Ed explained why there was a difference in both the customer and the target market for both. He was also asked about scaling up to orbital spaceflight. A few listeners wanted to know the plans for the next Space Hacker Workshop after Dallas. Ed thought it might be at KSC in Florida but he did not make it definite at this time. He also took a question about the fact that Lynx only flies to 2/3 of the way to space and if this impacted his citizen science projects and research. Near the end of our discussion, Ed was asked about the regulatory environment that might adversely impact citizen science experiments, flights, & the work of Citizens In Space. For Ed's response to these and all the questions, don't miss this important hour long discussion. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog per above. Ed can be contacted using edward.v.wright@rocketacademy.org.
