We welcomed back Anthony Young to discuss his new book, “The Twenty-First Century Commercial Space Imperative.” During the first segment of our 92 minute discussion, Anthony talked about writing the book as part of the Springer Briefs In Space Development Series. He talked about commercial space emerging into a huge venue, then he outlined the format of his book which is for the most part the book’s Table of Contents (check out the book’s Amazon page to read the Table of Contents). You can follow along with us as our guest discusses the major topics and themes based on the Table of Contents. During this segment, I sked Anthony why he thought commercial space was the twenty-first century imperative. Don’t miss his response to my question. Other topics discussed in this segment included entrepreneurism, start-ups, even NASA projects. In chapter 2, Anthony talked about game changers in the industry. Here, he specifically cited SpaceX and Stratolaunch. Later, he included the developing cubesat industry and then in a later chapter, he cited the personal spaceflight industry. Anthony talked about reaching students and addressing the issues surrounding STEM, plus he talked about what was happening with private space outside the United States.
In the second segment, we talked about the upcoming movie, “The Martian” and the fact that it addresses a government mission and has nothing to do with commercial or private space. Anthony cited a recent headline he had seen saying the movie would do nothing to advance commercial space. Returning to the Moon came up next as did international projects which he said were a significant contributor to global peace. Near the end of the segment, a listener asked about the impact of the SpaceShip 2 accident and our guest talked about the NTSB findings. Despite the accident, he said their was significant potential for growth in the personal spaceflight segment of the industry, both for suborbital as well as for orbital flight. Anthony was asked about both the role and risk of government regulation in the emerging commercial space industry. As we were nearing the end of the program, I asked him for his thoughts on what the industry would look like ten years from now. Before our discussion ended, Anthony said he was working on a another book regarding the Apollo lunar samples.

We welcomed Dr. Jason Reimuller back to the show for this 1 hour 28 minute discussion and update regarding Project PoSSUM (www.projectpossum.org). During the first segment of the program, Dr. Reimuller provided us with an overview of Project PoSSUM, then he went into detail regarding the need to study the mesosphere and Noctilucent clouds. He explained his two training programs, the PoSSUM Scientist-Astronaut Qualification Program and the PoSSUM Academy. I found it interesting that both programs have a math level requirement for participants. Our first segment was devoted to Jason telling us about these two programs as well as their research projects which included a spacesuit research project along with Final Frontier Design. Near the end of the segment, we talked about launch vehicles to be used by Project PoSSUM, timelines & FAA licensing requirements.
In the second segment, Jason focused on their public and educational outreach programs for their science projects. Jason told us about their high altitude balloon projects, probably with World View and the global appeal of their citizen science projects. Among the many listener questions, Ronnie asked about the field of aerometry while another listener inquired as to why the study of the upper atmosphere was important. As the segment was ending, listeners asked Jason about his use of cubesats while another listener asked if balloons from JP Aerospace would be used. Also mentioned was the PoSSUM manual which can be obtained from the Project PoSSUM website along with various articles of spirit ware. Gina got the last question in to ask if one could get by in the two programs without the required math that Jason mentioned earlier in the show.

We welcomed back Randa and Rod Milliron of Interorbital Systems (www.interorbital.com) for news and updates since their 2014 Space Show appearance. During the first segment of our 1 hour 28 minute program, Randa and Rod updated us on their launch license application process as they just returned from starting the process with the FAA AST office. They also attended a ride share conference at the Applied Physics Lab which they talked about. We talked about launch sites, the EIR needed for their launch license, and other issues relevant to getting a launch license. Our guests mentioned they were planning both land and sea launches. We talked more about the ocean launches in the second segment of the program. Our guests described their test launch program, then we talked about their satellite kits, both the TubeSat kit and the CubeSat kit. We then received a call from one of the Interorbital customers, Barbara at Boreal Space (www.borealspace.com). Following Barbara’s call and her take on being an Interorbital customer, Randa talked about their Guidance System test program and upcoming test flight, then Jack sent in an email asking them for time lines on their launch manifest. You can see the Interorbital launch manifest at http://interorbital.com/interorbital_05022015_014.htm. We talked about the capabilities of their satellite kits once the TubeSat or CubeSat made it to orbit as Kristine asked what these small satellite can do. Next, the Interorbital orbital plans were discussed as were the company suborbital plans. Jake in Dallas inquired about their suborbital to orbital plans using their modular rocket system. Don’t miss what our guests had to say about this. Randa then brought up their space rescue and suit design program featuring Olaf Spitzer jumping from space off of one of the Interorbital rockets. Our guests had much to say about this planned jump, especially when they compared it to the recent record holding balloon jumps. Near the end of the first segment, questions came in about 3D printing and rocket reusability.
In the second segment, Tim called to ask about the cost to make each modular rocket, wanting to know if they could make a profit given these costs. Our guests said actual costs were proprietary but they did say they would price their orbital launch at $1 million for 30-50 kilos to a 310 km orbit. Tim also wanted to know how Randa and Rod got started in this business, plus he wanted to know if crowd funding was a good way to go. They supported crowd funding but said it might not be a good method for starting up a launch business. Don’t miss their comments on this subject. Mac inquired about going to a geo orbit with their N36 rocket and a small payload. Bill asked how many employees they had. The number was 12. Next, we got a listener question asking about their lunar plans. Our guests went into some detail regarding their lunar plans and missions. I asked our guests about the very small cubesat, the PocketCube. I also asked about the skill level needed for assembling their Personal Satellite Kits and found out they also sell backup kits/parts in case you ruin something making the kit. Near the end of the show I asked them for then remaining 2015 plans so don’t miss their expected highlights for the balance of the year. Wayne got in a last minute question asking about their ocean launch plans. Here, we learned that they had changed from earlier floating launch ideas. Listen to how they intend on launch from the ocean with their new concept. Interorbital does not produce a newsletter so watch their website for updated information.

We welcomed Anthony Young back to the show to discuss the use of spacesuits in suborbital flight based on his Feb. 16, 2015 Space Review article, www.thespacereview.com/article/2695/1. During the first segment of our 1 hour 47 minute program, Anthony talked about his Space Review article and the Virgin Galactic accident from last year plus their goal of flying spaceflight participants in a short sleeve environment. We spent much of the segment talking about the pros and cons of using pressure suits as opposed to having a pressurized cabin and short sleeve environment. Anthony mentioned the other space vehicle programs and what he said were there plans to use pressure suits as opposed to non-pressure suit environment. Listeners asked him several questions by email. For example, BJohn wanted to know if the same spacesuit being talked about could be use for EVA purposes. Michael Listner took issue with Anthony comparing the early days of aviation to spaceflight saying the political, legal and media environment were completely different in the early days of aviation. He suggested that today a serious incident during a revenue-generating flight would raise a huge outcry and would probably kill the industry. Both Anthony and I disagreed with him on his conclusion.
In the second segment, we talked about work being done on a new generation of spacesuits for the commercial space tourism industry and Anthony mentioned several spacesuit companies and developers. He also talked about the special training Felix Baumgartner had to have to avoid panic attacks in the suit. Listeners continued with email questions including one asking if any airline companies had looked into suborbital flight. John in Florida called to talk about efforts to lower the cost for spacesuits. Toward the end, Anthony addressed his latest Space Review article which was about Sarah Brightman going to the ISS later this year (www.thespacereview.com/article/2724/1).

We welcomed Loretta Hall back to the show to discuss her new book “Space Pioneers in their own words.” Remember, if you buy this book on Amazon, use the OGLF access so that Amazon will contribute to The Space Show. Instructions are in all archive summaries on our website & the blog. For more information, visit both http://www.spacepioneerwords.com & http://www.authorhall.com. In the first segment of our 90 minute program, Loretta discussed the background of writing this book as well as the oral histories at the New Mexico Museum of Space History (www.nmspacemuseum.org). I asked our guest for some of her favorite stories & she mentioned Paul Haney, Neil Armstrong & others. I also asked her about her UFO chapter 17 in the book, “Anyone Else Out There?” This came up later in the show as well with some very interesting stories including one involving an emerald laser classified experiment with the sound of frogs in the background discussed in detail in the second segment. We talked lots about the importance of knowing our early space history. What was fascinating about Loretta’s scholarship & this book was that many of the stories & people featured were those in the background of our early space program as she did not just focus on the top people & the stars we all know. The emerging commercial & NewSpace industry in New Mexico was also talked about & at times Loretta said that once operational flights begin at the spaceport, the industry may provide the exciting inspiration needed as was the case with many of the early space programs. BJohn emailed in a question about the New Mexico culture influencing our space program & the possible cultural issues facing a Mars settlement crew.
In the second segment, we again talked about Chapter 17 & we heard more about UFO stories from those involved in our early space history. Loretta read a few passages from some of the oral histories where people were genuinely concerned about the adverse stigma attached to UFO comments so they were avoided. Her book covered balloon histories & when asked about connections with our space history & the Old West, mostly what we found out about were rancher disputes with the government over land use, etc. Later in this segment, we talked about the rocket slide work with John Paul Stapp & Loretta read an interesting quote from him about his famous rocket sled ride. Loretta was asked to explain the structure of the book, then she relayed a few more stories to us including one about setting up a school at White Sands for the Paper Clip kids plus one of stratosphere ballooning. These were part of the roles women played in the oral histories in the museum’s research library.

Welcome to this 2 hour 11 minute wide ranging discussion with a surprising debate between two callers in the latter part of the second half of the show. During the first segment, we started out with a call from Paul to talk about his AIAA Spaceflight Challenge Program for inspiring students. The purpose of this program is to inspire students to be involved in space development and exploration. Paul will keep us posted on the project as it develops over the coming months. Charles Pooley called in next to tell us that his Microlaunchers book was out and that he and his co-author would be on The Space Show to discuss it in detail Monday, Jan. 13, 2014. The book, “Microlaunchers: Technology for a New Space Age,” is available through Amazon. If you buy it and I suggest you do, use the OGLF Amazon portal so Amazon will make a contribution to The Space Show. Directions for doing this are on each blog archive, website archive, TSS website home page and on www.onegiantleapfoundation.org. Let me know if you have any questions. I believe you will be impressed with his long awaited book and hats off to Charles for finally getting it done and for doing a terrific job with it.
In our second segment, we took a call from an upstate NY college student inquiring about the returning to the Moon, lunar commerce and such. Following Eric’s call, Marshall called in from Texas to talk about how inspiring TSS has been for him. We also talking space mining issues with him, the use of robots and more. Our next caller was SLS John. John is a strong advocate for SLS and he again articulated the case for the completion of SLS. I challenged him again with the usual arguments against SLS which did not phase him. Dr. Jurist wanted to comment on what SLS John was saying so using another phone line, Dr. Jurist (Montana John) and SLS John had a lengthy and detailed exchange, both supporting heavy lift and SLS , although with reservations, especially from Montana John as you will hear in their discussion. Its an interesting discussion but I doubt it will change the minds of listeners regardless of how they see and think about SLS. That said, I strongly suggest you listen to their entire discussion many key points were addressed by both callers. As the show was ending, I went over some of the key upcoming guests scheduled for The Space Show.

We welcomed Bill Harwood, the CBS News space consultant to the show. During the first segment of our 90 minute program, Bill told us about his press conference and briefing with Elon Musk, the CTO from SES, the company sending the first GEO bird to orbit on the Falcon 9 on Monday afternoon, 11-25-13, and Ms. Shotwell of SpaceX. Most of the first segment was spent discussing the press conference, the comments about the launch made by all participants, the challenges of doing the first GEO launch for the new Falcon 9 V1.1 and more. Not only did Bill go over the details of the launch and the SES satellite orbital insertion, plus the Falcon 9 plans for second stage firing and getting in position for the satellite to take over for its part, we talked about SpaceX launch costs, we compared the Falcon 9 costs as best we could to the Arianne and the ILS Proton costs. Bill was asked about the thoughts of the Falcon 9 competition and what it might mean for a SpaceX success with their first GEO launch. Also in this segment, Bill was asked about Inspiration Mars, SLS, & Orion. Other topics included space settlement, suborbital flight, Virgin Galactic, robotic missions, and the why that justifies HSF. As the segment was ending, a listener asked about the Florida space coast economy and its economic recovery.
In the second segment, Bill was asked if SpaceX was creating a new market or taking market share from the existing competition. We talked about NASA story telling for a better space policy, the JFK legacy, & space being treated by many as a luxury. I asked Bill about the private sector being able to kick start space industry development and Bill responded with information how hard space was, especially orbital space which requires speeds of 85 football fields per second. Dream Chaser and its recent accident were discussed and there was lots of listener support for Dream Chaser as there was from our guest. More was said about the potential market for suborbital tourism and flights. Bill was asked about the biggest change over the years in his covering space issues and he said it was the change in politics. I asked him about his reporting during both Challenger and Columbia. As the program closed, Bill was asked about the ISS, commercial development for the station, and the need to keep the station going beyond 2020.
