    Becoming Martian! - How Will Human Beings Evolve on Mars?

    It is widely accepted that over time, humanity will need to expand its presence into the solar system. What are the challenges? Well, space and our nearby worlds have proved to be a much greater challenge than we had long thought. While the rigors of zero-g have been well researched on the International Space Station, the challenges of living in lower gravity, such as that found on the moon and Mars, has not yet been explored. And human reproduction in space, along with genetic challenges, is a complete unknown. Rice Univeristy professor and researcher Scott Solomon joins us to explore these topics in depth, and to posit possible solutions. Headlines: Artemis 2 Moon Launch Faces More Delays Due to Hydrogen Leaks Perseverance Rover on Mars Completes First Fully AI-Driven Journey Study Warns of Urgent Need to Research Human Reproduction in Space Main Topic: Becoming Martian – What It Would Take for Humans to Thrive on Mars Biological impacts of space and Martian environments on the human body Gaps in research about reproduction, growth, and development in space and partial gravity Ethical, social, and medical challenges of having children beyond Earth The complexities of transplanting Earth's ecosystems, microbiomes, and the risk of disruptive species Evolutionary changes and the likely divergence of human populations living long-term off-Earth Considerations around modifying humans versus modifying extraterrestrial environments Infectious disease threats and dwindling biological immunity for space settlers Psychological, cultural, and population dynamics for future interplanetary communities Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Dr. Scott Solomon Download or subscribe to This Week in Space at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

    Introducing CryptoPunks creators: from art experiment to cultural movement from Possible. Follow the show: Possible Before NFTs were a category and crypto was an industry, two artists released 10,000 characters into the world with no roadmap, no pitch, and no expectations. What started as an art experiment in code ended up flourishing into a movement about ownership and identity. In this episode of Possible, Reid sits down with Matt Hall and John Watkinson, co-founders of Larva Labs and creators of CryptoPunks, to trace how a small creative experiment became one of the most influential cultural phenomenons of the internet era. They reflect on what it means for art to live on-chain, why decentralization was a design choice rather than a slogan, and how digital identity became one of the most valuable real estates online. From museums and blockchains to profile pictures, permanence, the conversation explores how letting go of narrative control can allow culture and community to write the story themselves.

    Remembering Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia - NASA's Week of Remembrance with Gerry Griffin

    This month marks a bitter annual anniversary for NASA. On February 1, 1967, the crew of Apollo 1 was killed in a horrific fire on the pad in Florida. Years later, as the space shuttle Challenger ascended on February 28, 1986, it was destroyed mid-flight with a loss of seven crewmembers. Finally, on February 1, 2003, the shuttle Columbia was lost during reentry, again with a crew of seven. This episode is a remembrance of these tragic events with Gerry Griffin, former Apollo Flight Director and Director of the Johnson Space Center among his many other roles with NASA and beyond. Gerry brings a personal touch to these events, describing the experiences first-hand and lessons learned. Please join us for this very special episode. Headlines: NASA Artemis 2 Testing and Launch Delayed by Cold Weather Crew 12 Launch Schedule Impacted by Artemis II Slip New Artemis Launch Windows and Associated Challenges Countdown to NASA's Next Moonshot: Updated Flight Timelines Main Topic: Remembering NASA's Worst Tragedies and Lessons Learned Apollo 1 Fire: Causes, Team Reaction, and Aftermath Transition from Gemini to Apollo: Organizational and Technical Shifts Challenger Disaster: Technical Failures, Team Dynamics, and Impact Shuttle Safety Evolution and Lessons from Columbia The Resolve and Spirit of NASA Teams After Tragedy Evolving Risk Management and Decision-Making in Human Spaceflight Reflections and Advice for Today's Flight Directors as Artemis II Flight Approaches Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Gerry Griffin Download or subscribe to This Week in Space at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

    COPs in Space! - Is the Outer Space Treaty Ready for the New Space Race?

    The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which was intended to regulate activities in space, is hard to enforce and woefully out of date. New nations and private actors are entering the spaceflight arena, and an updated mechanism with a bit more teeth is needed. Our guest, Ely Sandler, a Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, has put forward the idea of using COPs—not the kind in uniform, but a Conference of Parties—as a less-formal gathering of spacefaring (and space-ambitious) entities, to discuss future treaties, agreements, and enforcement mechanisms, eventually leading to new treaties. These would be similar to the annual climate COP that has provided useful discourse on climate change. A space COP would address responsibility for and control of orbital assets, land and resource use on the Moon, Mars, and asteroids; and possibly limits to the militarization of space. Join us for a fascinating discussion! Headlines: Artemis II Moon Rocket Rolls Out for Launch Preparations Crew-11 Astronauts Speak on Space Station Medical Evacuation Earth Faces Strongest Solar Radiation Storm in 20 Years Auroras Sparked Across Unusual Latitudes Main Topic: Is the Outer Space Treaty Obsolete? Examining the Future of Space Governance with Ely Sandler Outer Space Treaty's Vagueness and Limits for Modern Space Activity Why New Space Policy Models Are Needed for Orbital Debris, Spacecraft Ownership, and Liability "Conference of the Parties" (COP) Model Proposed for Space Law Updates Challenges of Property Rights, Exclusion Zones, and International Consensus on the Moon How Commercial Space and Military Concerns Intersect Under Outdated Treaties Space Solar Power's Potential and Regulatory Hurdles for Energy Beaming Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Ely Sandler Download or subscribe to This Week in Space at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

    Space, 2026! - What's Coming in Spaceflight This Year

    2026 promises to be the most exciting year in the new space age yet! Shining bright is the prospect of an Artemis II launch to send astronauts around the moon for the first time since 1972, as early as February. We've already seen news about a medical incident on the International Space Station that will force a crew to return to Earth early, but NASA says this won't affect the Artemis launch. On other news, NASA's budget seems on track to be passed at near 2025 levels, China is preparing to send a robot to the south lunar pole, SpaceX plans robust tests of Starship this year—and hopefully refinement of their lander for Artemis III, Boeing will fly Starliner again (uncrewed), Mars Sample Return is poised to be scuttled, and all this under the leadership of a new—and apparently quite capable—NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman. Join us for an in-depth look at what's coming in 2026! Headlines: Medical evacuation planned for ISS astronauts due to health concerns NASA Chief Jared Isaacman leads first big press conference amid ISS medical incident Artemis 2 lunar mission remains on track for February launch Orion spacecraft heat shield faces scrutiny ahead of crewed flight NASA budget nearly secured—Congress backs full funding for 2026 Mars Sample Return project faces likely cancellation SpaceX Starship gears up for crucial orbital and refueling tests Blue Origin's Blue Moon lunar lander launch delayed, competition heats up China's lunar, asteroid, and orbital missions ramp up for 2026 Boeing Starliner and Sierra Space Dream Chaser schedule ISS cargo missions New moon landers, asteroid missions, and global crewed capsule tests coming in 2026 NASA's Roman Space Telescope possibly launching this year Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Download or subscribe to This Week in Space at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

    Mars Throwback - The Pioneering Work of Dr. Robert Zubrin

    One of our favorite interviews of 2025 was with Dr. Robert Zubrin, founder of the Mars Society and the mind behind Mars Direct, a streamlined approach to reaching the Red Planet with human beings that was later largely adopted by NASA in their mission designs. It's a fascinating story about a man who continually swam upstream against strong currents of the aerospace establishment. His seminal book, "The Case for Mars," has enjoyed multiple reprints and influenced millions. Join us for this encore of an informative and forward-looking episode!
