On The Space Show for Wednesday, 25 May 2022:
Vale Vangelis:
For 31 years, The Space Show has used as its opening theme, “Motion of Stars” by Vangelis. The Space Show is sad to report the death of Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou last week, at the age of 79. The artist, known professionally as Vangelis, was a Greek musician, composer, songwriter and producer of electronic, progressive, ambient, and classical orchestral music. Vangelis was best known for his Academy Award-winning score to Chariots of Fire (1981), as well as for composing the scores to the film Blade Runner (1982), music for the NASA Mission: 2001 Mars Odyssey - Mythodea (2001) [listen to The Space Show episode 2021.10.20 | Mythodia: Music dedicated to the 2001 Mars Odyssey mission], and for the use of his music in the 1980 PBS documentary series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan.
CAPSTONE mission launch update.
The Future Australian Space Workforce and its Development panel at the Space Industry Association of Australia conference:
James Webb Space Telescope: An overview of the scientific instrument package
Scott Carpenter and Mercury Atlas 7: A feature celebrating the 60th anniversary of the second U.S. manned orbital spaceflight. Taken from the documentary “Moonshot” based on the book of the same name by Donald “Deke” Slayton.
For the first time ever, researchers have grown plants in nutrient poor lunar regolith: Jim Greene in conversation with Dr Anna-Lisa Paul. More than 50 years after astronauts brought the last rock samples to Earth from the Moon, scientists have successfully grown plants in lunar soil from three different Apollo missions for the first time. The plants showed visible and genetic signs of "stressful" growing conditions. The research paper was published on May 12 in the journal, Communications Biology.
