  • This Week in Space 81: Rob Manning, the Carroll Shelby of Mars

    We all know that NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory designs, builds, and flies the premiere machines of space exploration, but just who designs and prepares them? It takes a team, but unique leadership must be at the top, and Rob Manning, JPL's Chief Engineer, has long been such a leader. From his earliest work on Voyager through engineering every set of wheels on Mars to overseeing engineering for all of JPL, Rob's story reads like an engineer's dream. Come share that dream with us as we talk to Rob, the Carroll Shelby of Mars.

  • Pathfinder team was isolated and given the freedom to innovate, but faced intense scrutiny from legendary NASA experts
  • Manning details how Pathfinder pioneered airbag landing and was the first Mars landing in over 20 years
  • Pathfinder was initially designed for one-month lifespan but kept going for over three months - a shocking engineering achievement
  • Manning emphasizes the importance of hands-on engineering experience versus today's digital abstraction
  • They discuss how Pathfinder's philosophy and margins set the stage for Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity greatly outlasting expectations
  • Manning previews upcoming Europa Clipper, Psyche asteroid missions, and more

          In this episode of Windows Weekly, Mikah Sargent is joined by Paul and Richard to discuss the latest Microsoft updates, news, and products. Paul chimes in on his experience at Microsoft's recent AI event, changes to Windows 11's confusing updates, last week's Xbox leaks, antitrust lawsuits against tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon, and more!

          Microsoft Special Event: Blockbuster... or blockluster?

        • Paul went to his first in-person Microsoft event in almost four years. You're not going to believe what happened next!
        • Ahead of the event, everyone was calling this a "Surface event" and some still are. But it was an AI event, period. Were our expectations met?
        • Copilot "rebrand" was in many ways the biggest news
        • Microsoft 365 Commercial arrives November 1 - And Microsoft 365 consumer is a thing
        • Microsoft announced two Surface PCs at event, one with an NPU. And then two other Surface PCs/devices. Most of these do not matter

          • WTF is happening with Windows 11 23H2?

        • We had a confusing several days, the perfect end-cap to a confusing year when it comes to Windows updating. But now we have the answers.
        • At special event, Microsoft reveals it will ship "next major Windows 11 update" September 26. It's 23H2! It's not 23H2!
        • One day after the event, Release Preview gets Fall Update
        • Paul attempted to achieve some clarity ahead of John Cable's post
        • Microsoft releases the Fall Update (in preview form)
        • Is Windows 11 finally where it needed to be when Microsoft shipped v1 two years ago?

          • Follow-ups to last week's blockbuster news 

        • Panos Panay will succeed Dave Limp at Amazon
        • Further examination of the leaked Xbox documents
        • Microsoft's reaction to the PS5 specs reveal is sort of clueless in retrospect
        • Microsoft wanted to buy Nintendo. No, really. And it considered lots of companies

          • Antitrust

        • UK CMA provisionally approves of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard
        • So of course the FTC revives its lost battle against Microsoft/AB. You can't make this stuff
        • FTC sues Amazon for monopoly abuse. Paul has questions. Lots of questions

        • Intel announced its Meteor Lake chipset BEFORE Microsoft event.
        • Amazon buys Anthropic for $4 billion
        • Amazon announces generative AI features for Alexa at its hardware event
