Add this to another station Tom Olson, May 15, 2005 (39.25MB; download) -- Tom Olson returned to The Space Show to update us on what has been happening within the entrepreneurial space industry for the first half of the year. Since his last visit on the program at the end of 2004, the industry has continued to move forward with hopes placed on the new NASA Administrator Dr. Mike Griffin as well as on the momentum from events in late 2004. Mr. Olson talked about the Administrator and NASA, he spoke about the continuing impact of Space Ship One, and the many likely entries in the space tourism vehicle market. We had an extensive discussion regarding commercial options for the International Space Station and the return to flight for the Space Shuttle. Mr. Olson, in response to questions, suggested that if return to flight did not go as intended the potential was there to derail for a time the development of suborbital space tourism vehicles and the investment the industry needs. He also explained why the industry was yet to be considered an industry most of the investment is still concentrated in the hands of too few investors. Mr. Olson discussed the New Space Vision for returning to the Moon and then on to Mars, explaining how it can be structured to support the development of the alt.space industry by making sure frontier enabling development is a major result of the program. Mr. Olson discussed politics and policy, investment objectives, much more. Don't miss this exciting update program.

Add this to another station Paul Smith, May 10, 2005 (40.15MB; download) -- Paul Smith returned to The Space Show to discuss his new book, "Reading the Enemy's Mind: Inside Star Gate--America's Psychic Espionage Program", and to share his thoughts with us on how remote viewing can be used to facilitate our becoming space-faring. Mr. Smith explained the history and nature of remote viewing and spoke openly about its capabilities, advantages, and limitations. In response to listener questions, he explained how it could be used to help project the winning companies in the alt.space or entrepreneurial space community. Also in response to questions, he explained his different courses, how he teaches the subject and the difference in what he does versus buying RV training videos or DVDs off the internet. Listeners asked Paul if he could determine the outcome of the coming shuttle flight and his answer was surprising. This is a very interesting program, addressing an important topic that has broad scale ramifications for us in our society, national security, business, and related areas. This includes the space community too. For questions, you can send them to the address Paul provides on air or as always to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com.

Add this to another station Wally Schirra & Ed Buckbee, May 9, 2005 (35.95MB; download) -- Wally Schirra and Ed Buckbee returned to The Space Show to discuss their new book, "The Real Space Cowboys." This is a must read for anyone interested in our Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs. The book, published by Apogee, includes a terrific DVD with lots of new material, some of it quite funny. Not only did Wally and Ed talk about their experiences and the history which they each lived, we discussed issues of current importance for our becoming space-faring. These topics included leadership, congress, today's NASA, education and outreach, private sector and space flight realities, rockets and much needed new technologies including nuclear, and so much more. This is a great interview, historic, and one you will not want to miss. And after you hear it, get their book. I promise you it will be one of the best if not the best space read you will have had in a long time.
