Spacevidcast’s Ben and Cariann Higginbotham talk to XCOR COO Andrew Nelson, who has a detailed update on the company’s progress in building the first Lynx suborbital vehicle.
A rocket goes bada boom, a sunset on Mars, Zombie sat ate enough brains to come back to life, continued Ares development and a look forward to what we’re thinking of doing in Spacevidcast 400.
Spacevidcast News: A new bill to protect NewSpace companies, Nexus S in Near Space, a new master plan for the KSC Visitor Complex with a space shuttle orbiter home design, iPods in space, Virgin Galactic’s plans to go into orbit, shuttle fueling tests on Friday, and launch costs are going up, not down.
On our 100th live show we have special guest Andrew Chaikin, who is best known as the author of “A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts.” First published in 1994, this acclaimed work was the main basis for Tom Hanks’ 12-part HBO miniseries, From the Earth to the Moon, which won the Emmy for best miniseries in 1998.
In space news we have a confirmed UFO sighting as well as a very awesome explanation as to what it is, Send your face to space, and wrapping up the Moon (AKA @toddthemoon) with a bow to deliver clean and limitless power back to Earth. Pipe dream or valuable reason to push for human space flight? After the commercial break we’re joined by Tim Bailey and George Schellenger of SpaceTaskForce.com to talk about space flight, human exploration and putting sharks in space.
