Direct link ‘Oumuamua: Avi Loeb says it may have been artificial

27 Jan 2021, 16:00 UTC Is interstellar object ‘Oumuamua an alien artifact? Harvard professor Avi Loeb explores his theory in a new book and in a fascinating conversation with Mat Kaplan.Could the first object shown to have originated outside our solar system be a light sail built by an alien civilization? That’s the very controversial hypothesis put forward by distinguished Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb in his new book Extraterrestrial. The book is about much more than ‘Oumuamua, and so is Avi’s conversation with Mat Kaplan. Bill Nye pays tribute to a fallen member of The Planetary Society’s space family, and the biggest coincidence in the history of Planetary Radio surfaces during What’s Up.There’s more to discover, including a link to Planetfest ’21, at https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/0127-2021-avi-loeb-extraterrestrial

6 Jan 2021, 16:00 UTC NASA has given the green light to Principal Investigator Les Johnson and his team for construction of a solar sail that dwarfs all that have come before.It is many times larger than any previous solar sail, and it will pave the way for even bigger spacecraft propelled by light. Solar Cruiser principal investigator Les Johnson tells us about his latest project and looks to humanity crossing the gulfs of interstellar space. Stellaris: People of the Stars is a collection of science fact and fiction co-edited by Les. Mat and Bruce offer a copy in the new What’s Up space trivia contest.

Direct link Episode 1205: "Scrubtember" Leads to "Grabtober"

3 Nov 2020, 02:55 UTC On this episode of Talking Space, we go from the high-highs of space exploration to the low-lows of launch scrubs.We begin with the announcement of water being found on the light side of the moon. We talk about the unique way it was actually discovered...and what we need to know before we can mine it and use it during future missions.Then it's onto the continuing story of OSIRIS-REx, which successfully captured its sample from asteroid Bennu. We'll look at the unexpected issue it encountered and why every sample won't be studied when it returns to earth.Then it's a review of "Scrubtember" and "Scrubtober" which saw an entire month without a U.S. launch, and Talking Space was there for many of them. Hear what it's like to scrub with an engine fire...then scrub again...then scrub another time as the press grows anxious and frustrated, and what it took to finally break the bad luck streak.Next new crewmembers are now aboard the ISS, including the historic way they got to the station...and why the next crew will also make history.After that, do you know how many different groups or organizations need to get clearance before a rocket can launch from the U.S.? ...
