Lonnie Schorer, Friday, 6-19-06 (42.16MB; download) -- Lonnie Schorer was the special guest for this Space Show program. Ms. Schorer discussed her new book, "Kids To Space" which is published by Apogee Books, but the program evolved into a comprehensive discussion of kids education regarding space and related topics. Lonnie explained how the idea for the book came about, what happened when she began contacting schools and parents to participate in the project, and the contributions by the kids as well as the space experts she consulted with to answer the kids questions. Toward the end of the show, we read some of the statements by the kids regarding their desire to go to space. Their comments are most revealing, even the comments indicating no desire to go to space. The book is superb, organized quite well, and I believe most adults will find the questions and the answers stimulating. This is much more than a kids book and Lonnie has done an incredible job putting this book together. With a forward by Buzz Aldrin, prologues by Sir Arthur C. Clark, Burt Rutan and Neil deGrasse Tyson, you will be in for a journey you will appreciate and you will want to share with your kids and all kids. This book really is a "A Space Traveler's Guide" and Lonnie was able to demonstrate this on today's Space Show. You will not want to miss this program, you will want to share it with your kids and everyone you know. If you have additional comments or questions for Lonnie Schorer or other feedback per her request near the end of the program, please share it with her at LonnieSchorer@aol.com. Remember, you can buy this book and all Apogee Books through The Space Show and One Giant Leap Foundation and receive a tax donation for your purchase amount. Contact me at drspace@thespaceshow.com for details. Don't miss this show or this book! Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Sat, 20 May 2006 03:28:44 UTC

Brian Weeden, Sunday, 5-14-06 (35.44MB; download) -- Capt. Brian Weeden, USAF, was the guest for this special Space Show Mother's Day program. Capt. Weeden joined us from deep inside Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, CO where he spends his time tracking space debris in the Space Control Center. During this interview, Capt. Weeden talked to us about Cheyenne Mountain, about being on ICBM alert during 911 at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana, and the nuts and bolts about space debris in all orbits up to and including GEO. We talked orbital mechanics and its importance, we talked about the military in space and the possibility of weapons in space, and much more. Capt. Weeden suggested that people interested in learning about orbital debris and items in the catalog being tracked that they log onto www.space-track.org and you can access the catalog that his department puts out. You have to create a password but the site access is free. Also, if you have a problem identifying items in the catalog, feel free to send him an email at brian.weeden@gmail.com. You will not want to miss this show and this realistic discussion on many very important and interesting topics. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 15 May 2006 04:18:08 UTC

Rex Ridenoure, Friday, 5-12-06 (40.36MB; download) -- Rex Ridenoure, CEO of Ecliptic Enterprises Corporation of Pasadena, CA, joined The Space Show for this program. As Rex pointed out, Ecliptic is a very successful alt.space company, thus significantly broadening our usual application of the term alt.space. We began our discussion talking about their RocketCam product which took the incredible Space Ship One and Shuttle real time photos. This discussion expanded how Rex leads Ecliptic in the global space economy, how they are impacted by ITAR, cost plus contracting versus FFP. We talked about business secrecy, public and private companies. We discussed cubesats and student launches, sessions from the recent ISDC conference and much more. As a result of a listener question, Rex talked about his work with Blast Off, the project, and how it might someday be started again given the concept is still valid. I believe this is an important show, Rex Ridenoure and his company Ecliptic Enterprises are clearly a role model for alt.space. To learn more about the company and to contact Rex with your questions or comments, visit www.eclipticenterprises.com. You can also send him email through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

Chip Proser, Tuesday, 5-9-06 (39.90MB; download) -- Chip Proser returned to The Space Show for this program. Fresh from ISDC and from updating his important documentary, "Gaia Selene: Saving The Earth by Colonizing the Moon," we discussed how space can be used as a major path for solutions to our energy problems and the climate change being experienced around Earth. Chip discusses these topics in detail and connects the dots for people so they can see yet another vitally important reason to become space-faring, reach for the Moon and take humanity off Earth. Chip answered many questions from listeners, some of which were skeptical to either Chip's core thesis or some of his references. In addition, both Chip and I referenced some of the programming at the recent ISDC as energy from space was an important topic discussed by many at the conference. Chip and I will soon be working together on a project to send his documentary to all members of congress and to leading corporate executives here in this country. More to follow on this developing idea. To find out more about his documentary and Chip Proser's work, visit www.spacecommand.org. You can contact Chip with your comments or questions using his email, chippro@aol.com. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 10 May 2006 06:21:28 UTC

Alan Wasser, Tuesdaay 5-2-06 (37.03MB; download) -- Alan Wasser, the Chairman of the Space Settlement Institute, was the guest for this Space Show program. Mr. Wasser began the interview by telling us about The Space Settlement Institute and then the Space Settlement Initiative. Listeners are urged to check this information out at the following sites: www.SpaceSettlement.Org and also www.space-settlement-institute.org. Make sure you read the article we discussed at length on the program, you will find it at http://www.space-settlement-institute.org/international_law.htm. In addition, you can contact Mr. Wasser through the website or at alan.wasser@space-settlement-institute.org. The Space Settlement Institute has as its purpose to promote human colonization and settlement of outer space, especially by means of the private sector, not the government. To develop a profit motive for space settlement, Mr. Wasser wants to make it possible for a lunar settlement to claim and own lunar real estate and then re-sell the lunar real estate to those back home on Earth. During the program, we discussed this plan and examined its feasibility given the Outer Space Treaty. You will want to hear this innovative and thought provoking discussion. Mr. Wasser says he could use some help. Listen to the program, investigate the Space Settlement websites and if you find you are in agreement with him, get on board. As always, you can also contact this guest through me at drspace@thespaceshow.com and I will forward all mail to Alan. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Wed, 03 May 2006 07:29:47 UTC

Professor Freeman Dyson, Sunday, 4-30-06 (38.81MB; download) -- Professor Freeman Dyson was the very special guest for this Space Show program. Professor Dyson offered his perspective on a wide ranging list of topics including alt.space investment, the private sector and space access, cosmic radiation, Mars, the VSE, the ISS, shuttle, and humans versus robotic/scientific space missions. We also talked about nuclear power for space and his famous Project Orion. He provided us with his thoughts on HE3, fusion, and why space is not a great draw across America and elsewhere. He would like to see very fast vehicles getting us to the Moon, a NEO or someplace quickly to excite the public. He was not optimistic about the VSE but he is optimistic about the private sector getting us to space in the not too distant future. If you want to contact Dr. Dyson with additional questions or comments, you can send him e-mail at dyson@ias.edu. Selected by: David Livingston [ stations ], Mon, 01 May 2006 00:37:10 UTC
