    God of Heaven and Earth - interview with producer Elliott Wallach

    Did you know there might be scientific proof for the Star of Bethlehem, marking the birth of Christ? There’s also a pinpointed date of April 3rd, 33 AD marking the cruxifiction.  There’s a new film coming soon that you should check out, find out more in this episode. Coming to movie theaters nationwide for a special, two-day-only theatrical event on Sunday, November 5th and Monday, November 6, 2023, GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH is a feature-length film, bringing two completely different scientific disciplines together to show that the creator of the Universe is the God of Heaven and Earth. Shot on location in Israel and the Dead Sea, the film shows that the geologic record agrees with the biblical narrative establishing both a birth and crucifixion date.  In an astounding conclusion, the film presents evidence from a completely different scientific discipline to show that an earthquake occurred in Jerusalem upon the date presented for Christ’s death, supporting Matthew’s biblical account, that when Christ died, an earthquake followed that was so powerful it terrified a nearby Centurion who declared his famous words, “Surely, this was the Son of God.”   Producer Elliott Wallach joins us today to discuss this incredible new film. Elliott has been working in the film business for over 20 years.  He is the founder of Edify Media, a full-service public relations firm that specializes in the promotion of family, faith-friendly, and faith-based films.  He has worked with every major studio and has been responsible for promoting movies like The Passion of the Christ, The Help, Amazing Grace, and more. godofheavenandearth.com

    NASA Artemis I - Return to the Moon with SLS Booster expert Dave Reynolds

    Interview with Dave Reynolds, NASA's Deputy Program Manager for SLS Booster Subsystems In this episode we’ll discuss NASA’s upcoming Artemis 1 mission, scheduled to launch no earlier than the end of this month. The Space Launch System rocket, or “SLS” will propel the Orion spacecraft on its mission around the Moon and back to Earth. Artemis 1 will be an uncrewed flight test that will travel farther than any other human-rated spacecraft has traveled before. This mission, the first of an increasing series of complex missions, will demonstrate NASA’s capability to extend human existence to the Moon, and on to Mars. Joining me in this episode from NASA’s Marshal Space Flight Center is Dave Reynolds, Deputy Program Manager for SLS Booster Subsystems.  Artemis I Mission Overview Artemis I is the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration and demonstrate our commitment and capability to return humans to the Moon and extend beyond. During this flight, Orion will launch atop the most powerful rocket in the world and fly farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. Over the course of the mission, it will travel 280,000 miles (450,000 kilometers) from Earth and 40,000 miles (64,000 kilometers) beyond the far side of the Moon. Orion will stay in space longer than any human spacecraft has without docking to a space station and return home faster and hotter than ever before. This first Artemis mission will demonstrate the performance of both Orion and the SLS rocket and test our capabilities to orbit the Moon and return to Earth. The flight will pave the way for future missions to the lunar vicinity, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the surface of the Moon. With Artemis I, NASA sets the stage for human exploration into deep space, where astronauts will build and begin testing the systems near the Moon needed for lunar surface missions and exploration to other destinations farther from Earth, including Mars. With Artemis, NASA will collaborate with industry and international partners to establish long-term exploration for the first time.
