Please remember that your Amazon Purchases Can Help Support The Space Show/OGLF (http://www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm). We welcomed Rand Simberg back to the program for this 1 hour 47 minute discussion regarding his about to be released book, "Safe is Not An Option."(http://safeisnotanoption.com). Check out the book summary: http://safeisnotanoption.com/book-summary. During our first hour, Rand explained the production challenges he has had with the book, the name change from last fall, & delays. He compared similarities with a book printing production run to the launch/flight rate. With both he said one needs to get the rate way up there for economies of scale. For the balance of our discussion, we talked about human spaceflight risk taking, the regulatory environment of today, & potential risks to this regulatory environment down the road after 2015. Rand supports individual choice & believes that regulation regarding flight safety would be detrimental to this developing industry. The subtitle of the book makes Rand's case: "Overcoming The Futile Obsession With Getting Everyone Back Alive That Is Killing Our Expansion Into Space." Jim emailed to ask Rand to compare the risk taken by Virgin & XCOR flight participants with risky terrestrial ventures. Rand suggested this would depend on the informed consent documents required under current FAA regulations. Trent asked about one way trips to Mars & Mars One. This brought up the discussion of space ethics & the Mars One position of pregnancy & childbirth as an ethical issue, not a personal choice issue as is the decision to do a one way trip to Mars. Rand stressed that his book has to do with people taking their own risk, not the government, regulators, or policy makers dictating risk taking. In the second segment, we fielded several questions from Curt on risk taking & Congress, plus he asked Rand about the nomad gene. Another listener emailed in a question focused on the role of the media in helping to make space important beyond the space community. Another listener wanted to know if Rand could see a day where to avoid government regulation, private human spaceflight would take place outside the United States. I asked Rand about feedback he has received regarding his book & thesis, his interest in a Washington, DC media event upon the book's release, selling the book at the upcoming NewSpace 2013 Conference, & if in his research, he came across papers, books, or other works advocating similar positions to his. During the entire discussion, Rand repeated his understanding that space is not important to the policy makers. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. Rand can be reached through his own blog on the About page at Transterrestrial Musings at www.transterrestrial.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 26 Jun 2013 15:33:16 UTC

Note that about 1 hour six minutes 20 seconds into this program, we had a power fluctuation for about 30 seconds. Please excuse the interruptions in our recording as a result of the brief outage. We welcomed Dr. Gilbert (Gil) Levin to the program for this 1 hour 25 minute broadcast. For more information, please visit Dr. Levin's website, www.gillevin.com. We started our interview with a question from Leonard David asking "why is NASA running away from answering the life on Mars question?" Dr. Levin said he had been asking the same question for 37 years and suggested several reasons including no organics, thus no life, religion, a conspiracy theory, and the most likely scenario in that such an announcement would delay or possibly prohibit human flights to Mars. Dr. Levin went into more detail on each of these reasons, then later in the discussion Doug called in and suggested another reason, the fear of failure. Dr. Levin talked about his experiments during this segment, the results so far, and the meaning. He was asked many listener questions including one about perchlorates on Mars, liquid water, and searching for life via other Mars instruments including Curiosity. Sandra emailed in a question about the religious paradigm he had mentioned earlier and Curt asked a series of questions including the subject of radiation. We talked about the private sector taking on more and more of the Mars searching for life missions, then Dr. Levin talked about the need for a fresh look at the Viking data by a truly objective panel. He said all of the data was online and accessible. John called with a series of questions/comments just before our break. In the second segment, we talked about Complexity Analysis & the Wave Guide Theory. Several questions came in regarding the Viking Labeled Release Experiments, then Gil was asked if initially he had anticipated the level of controversy resulting from Viking. A listener asked about detecting DNA like molecules on Mars and Gil explained why DNA would not work. Many other topics & issues were discussed including his patents & other research so don't miss this interview. We also talked about using Kickstarter to fund a fresh, objective look at the Viking data. Post your comments/questions on TSS blog per above. You can email Dr. Levin at the address he provided at the end of the program. You can also see his Mars papers and work on his website.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Rob Kelso, Executive Director of PISCS, to the program. During the first segment of our 1 hour 28 minute program, Mr. Kelso not only introduced us to the Pacific International Space Center (PISCES) in Hawaii, but also to the long standing space related traditions & history with the state of Hawaii. As our discussion was held on the summer solstice, this certainly contributed to making Rob's Hawaii space historical summary most interesting & relevant. Rob noted the role played by Hawaii as an analog site for the Apollo training and newer robotic missions. In fact, much of our discussion focused in on features within Hawaii that are being used more and more for space analog sites, insitu learning, 3 D printing methodology, and technical development. Rob talked about the PISCES engagement of both public and private sectors & the need to help develop 21st century skills within the Hawaiian aerospace industry. Also discussed in this segment were the relationships with other NASA centers, both for human spaceflight as well as robotic and science missions. In our second segment, we talked about the PISCES signing of six memoranda of understanding. While Rob had something to say about each project, you can read a good summary of these important projects at www.hawaii247.com/2013/04/25/pisces-signs-six-memoranda-of-understanding. Also in this segment, we talked about the HI-SEAS Project (http://hi-seas.org). HI-SEAS is the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation planetary surface exploration analog site at 8,500 feet on the side of Mauna Loa, focusing on research for food preparation strategies for long duration HSF. Rob talked about HI-SEAS quite a bit so don't overlook what he had to say about this program. Later, Doug called in regarding the RESOLVE Program which PISCES participates in with goals of creating O2 & rocket fuel by melting moon rocks to help support humans living on the Moon. Rob then talked about the Robotic Search & Rescue Program and telerobotics. This led to a discussion about communication latency issues, even with the Moon. When asked about State of Hawaii and PISCES objectives, he said near term included showing an ROI to the state with longer term goals of having a state technology research park contributing to all aspects of education, STEM, & space development in the state. Christine emailed in a question about the biggest challenges faced by Hawaii and PISCES, especially since other states are also motivated to building up their space and STEM industries. His response was most interesting. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog per the above URL. You can email Rob Kelso through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

During our 11 minute plus discussion with Larry Price & John Batchelor, we discussed the Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle for human spaceflight BLE. Some of the issues and topics talked about included crew capability and size, its possible use for Tito's Inspiration Mars flyby mission, the need for SLS, coming tests for Orion, its planned operational timeline and why it was designed to land in the ocean rather than on land. We talked about the international participation with Orion regarding the role of ESA in developing the Orion Service Module. We also talked about reusability and the fact that it would probably be used for ten missions each. Orion is being designed to be active in our space program for 30-40 years. There is much more about Orion awaiting you in this Hotel Mars segment. Please post any comments/questions you might have on The Space Show blog.

In addition, please remember that your Amazon purchases can help support The Space Show/OGLF. See www.onegiantleapfoundation.org/amazon.htm. We welcomed Brice Russ to the program for a one hour Yuri's Night 2013 wrap up discussion. For more information, visit their main website, http://yurisnight.net. During our hour long discussion with Brice, we talked about Yuri's Night, its history, goals, and we compared the 2013 year which just ended to earlier years. For 2013, we learned that there were over 350 parties worldwide in 57 countries. This was about 100 more than last year. We learned that there was a Yuri's Night event from the ISS and also Curiosity on Mars! Some of the parties drew several thousand people, we talked about the big party in Los Angeles at the California Science Center under Space Shuttle Endeavour. Other specifically mentioned parties included the one at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, the party in Reno, and the Washington, DC "Space Burlesque Show" which was part of Yuri's Night. Listeners sent in many email questions and suggestions. They wanted to know about parties for young school age kids, fraternity or sorority parties on college campuses, even parties at military basis or on naval ships at sea. Brice also took us through the timeline for the 2014 Yuri's Night parties, website registration, volunteering to help out, and more. During our discussion, Brice suggested several related Yuri's Night websites and their new newsletter which you can sign up for if interested. Most of these additional sites can be accessed through their main website above but if you want to visit one of the other sites & don't see the link for it, just use the direct URL Brice provided on air. One listener asked Brice what other space event in addition to Yuri's Night he would want to celebrate. Both Brice and I said the Apollo 11 flight and our Moon program. Brice used the opportunity to talk about how Yuri's Night supports other space events and programs. When asked if the Yuri's Night organization supported any specific space policy, the answer was no other than human spaceflight. Toward the end of our segment, I asked Brice what seemed to work regarding space education outreach. You don't want to miss his response to this question. After our hour with Brice ended, I came back for a very short period to go over the future Space Show schedule and to make a few announcements including our Amazon announcement. Please post your comments/questions for Brice Russ on The Space Show blog per the above URL. You can email Brice Russ at rbruss@yurisnight.net.

We welcomed back Kevin Sloan to the program to discuss the Mars Society 2013 University Rover Challenge (URC). For more information, visit their website, http://urc.marssociety.org. During the first segment of our 90 minute discussion, Kevin went over the rules and the goals of this year's 2013 URC, then he told us about the near perfect score by the Polish team, Hyperion, representing Bialystok University of Technology. Kevin had much to say about this team, how it turned in a near perfect score, what the Hyperion rover was able to do that other rovers could not do, and the need for next year's judges to think of more challenging goals as everyone was taken by surprise with the success of the Hyperion Team. We spoke about the international nature of the contest with teams from Poland, India, Canada, and the U.S. We talked about the outstanding job done by the Mars Society of Poland in making sure universities there knew about the competition and those that could participated. Kevin fielded listener questions via email regarding entering the contest, team costs, other U.S. school participation, the international representation, and questions about Hanksville, UT which is where the competition was held. He was also asked about coming to see the competition and IP rights regarding the rovers. Since the competition takes place near MDRS, listeners also inquired about this Mars Society program. In the second segment, Doug asked if the URC was to encourage robotics education & does it lead to ideas actually being used on a Mars mission? He also wanted to know that
apart from the Lunar Regolith Excavation Challenge, were there any other lunar equivalent challenges & was the URC applicable to the Moon. Kevin was also asked about contestants using JPL rovers as possible models and the use of JPL or other industry consultants. The various teams & their countries were discussed in this segment as were some of the URC rules. Eric asked two good questions near the end of the program including the use of 3D printing & the arbitrary definition of higher-education. Toward the end, Kevin described the winning Hyperion team performance, especially to the 5th Gate! Don't miss it. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog above. Kevin can be reached through the URC website.

Space Show programs can be quoted, but the quote must be cited or referenced using the proper citation format. Contact The Space Show for further information. We welcomed Gordon Woodcock to the program to discuss his ISDC 2013 financial analysis presentation for an SSP power system. This presentation is available for your consideration on after the program summary on The Space Show blog for this program per the above URL. In addition, visit the SolarHigh.Org website for more information at www.solarhigh.org. In the first segment of our two part 90 minute discussion with Mr. Woodcock, we were introduced to the concept of space solar power from the initial work of Peter Glazer followed by microwave expert Bill Brown. Mr. Woodcock then discussed the need for large space transmission and Earth based receiving antennas, the need to use GEO for the SSP satellites, and some basics about beaming microwave power. Economic & financial concepts were introduced along with the need for systems to be affordable, reusable and generate acceptable ROIs. However, as you will hear, all of this is hard to do at this stage given the need for research and demo systems for proving out the best engineering approaches and designs. We talked about solar efficiencies and the trade in mass with thin film lighter material with only about a 30% energy efficiency but because of their lighter weight, the trade allows us to launch & deploy bigger systems giving us more bang for the buck, so to speak. Gordon also talked about efficient transmitter systems & the use of 5.8 GHz. In this segment we talked about lowering launch costs, increasing the launch rate, and the competitive price for terrestrial electric power. Earlier in the segment, Gordon suggested the need for a one year payback but Tony sent in a question suggesting longer paybacks, all of which were acceptable scenarios as long as they were roughly competitive with highly risky terrestrial investments. In the second segment, we talked about starting with smaller systems & demos, all followed by incremental project development. We also talked about specific space and terrestrial antenna size and ratios as well as the size of power systems, even up to 2,000 MW or larger. Mr. Woodcock went over the idea of raising the frequency and what this might mean for a demo as well as an operating power project system. Questions came in regarding on orbit system repairs and maintenance. Our guest said the systems would need to be serviced robotically. We talked about the environment for SSP systems at this time & into the near and medium term & possible fossil fuel competition given new energy extraction methods. Crowd funding was suggested as a way to fund some of the needed research which our guest said could be done in many competent labs in the U.S. Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog.

We welcomed Robert (Bob) Zimmerman to the program (www.behindtheblack.com). During our 2 hour 3 minute discussion with Bob, we covered a wide area of space, policy, budget and climate science issues. Bob started out talking about the Commercial Space Launch Act of 2004 and his warnings back then about a heavily regulated commercial and NewSpace industry coming out of this particular legislation. He has now reported on the evolution of regulation for this segment of the industry. See this article on his blog, http://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/essays-and-commentaries/the-red-tape-of-the-space-bureaucracy. He strongly suggested that the focus was misplaced on excessive safety. Instead, it should be on risk taking, innovation, and experimental flight.
