Listen Now to Future News 9.6.2022 Welcome to September, coming in rather hot, literally!  And not just for us Earthfolks living in the Western US..No, no, no.. The Sun threw a coronal mass ejection at Venus just as our Solar Orbiter spacecraft was flying by, giving us some awesome data on CME’s! Fortunately the ship was designed to handle such an event! Lots of fun this week, including a nasty caller, join us!  Solar Orbiter performing a Venus Flyby to get closer to the Sun

Listen Now to Steve Wagner Ten years in the making, Steve’s book, “All You Need is Myth: The Beatles and the Gods of Rock” exploresAuthor Steve Wagner the idea that rock and roll spawned a new global  religion, with living archetypes from the ancient pantheon of Gods and Goddesses expounded in traditions like the  Greek,  Roman, and Hindu mythologies. Author Steve Wagner establishes a persuasive argument that these “Rock Gods” have not only achieved the status of mythic deities but were chosen and nurtured for these roles by global culture itself. In our interview we explore the rock Pantheon of Gods, the influences of media guru Marshall McLuhan, Jungian archetypes of the iconic rock stars, (i.e. Hendrix - Magician, Slick - Witch, Wilson - The Child, Dylan - Prophet, Joplin - Oracle), influences of eastern religion and psychedelics on the Beatles, and Yoko Ono as the Yin of Lennon’s Yang. And after a living  religion like this…really, what’s next? Enjoy!    

Listen Now to Future News - August 30, 2022 We got a few Dr. F stories in, but boy, the phone lines were lit up today!  After our little discussion about our live show at the Stanford golf club restaurant with SID, the Society of Informational Displays, we got callers concerned about the upcoming extension of PG&E’s nuclear Diablo Canyon power plant, the last nuke plant in sunny California.  Lots of pros and cons around that, regarding CA senate bill, SB 846.  Not deterred, Dr. Future re-oriented the conversation towards space, and the DART mission, scheduled to knock an asteroid from its trajectory this coming September 26, Save the Earth! But callers wanted to talk about the drought stricken Lake Mead, Las Vegas drying up, and a Tesla equipped with a GM V-8 gas engine! Enjoy..  

Listen Now to Future News and Views 8.23.2022 It’s getting close now, the launching of NASA’s biggest effort in years, the Artemis 1 mission, which, after a hiatus of 50 years, will take us humans back to the moon. Like the James Webb Space Telescope, it’s way over budget and timelessly late, it nevertheless will finally launch in a few days from Cape Canaveral, if all goes well.  Much of the main mission will be discussed on mainstream media, but what caught our attention, are the secondary payloads of Artemis, the ten or so tiny Cubesat satellites that will be launched into space along the way to the moon, each with its own mission. The NEA Scout, for example, will unfurl its solar sail and head out in search of Near Earth Asteroids, and the Japanese Cubesat, OMOTENASHI, will attempt to land on the moon with the help on onboard thrusters and a giant airbag! The Italian Cubesat, ArgoMoon, will hover near the mothership and document the launch of it’s fellow Cubesats, before heading out into deep space to study the earth and the effects of deep radiation on it’s hardened technology. There is something for everyone on this mission, enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News and Solutions Is there such a thing as an addictive personality?  Apparently, it’s not that simple, but more related to our individual reactions to the environment compounded by the mood in which we find ourselves.  We review some of the latest work in this arena.  Also, new rodent experiments with blood suggest there may be something to the vampire myths of old, in that senescence can be triggered in younger mice by transfusing them with elder blood.  But is the reverse also true? We take a closer look..also updates on the Virgin Orbit, Europa, Exoplanet naming, fusion advances, the Tesla Android, jokes, and fixing the atmosphere! Enjoy! Virgin Orbit prepping for launch from Mothership

Listen Now to Future News Now 8.9.2022 This could be the summer of eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff Landing) aircraft, the long held vision for practical flying cars and cheap and easy air flight.We have our eye on several companies in that race, one of them being the “Switchblade,” in Oregon, a hybrid machine that both flies and drives on the ground.  And to make it all the more greener to fly electric, the materials for the powerful batteries needed will soon be coming from Greenland rather than China or Africa, thanks to the discovery of a massive trove of critical minerals for hundreds of millions of electric vehicles.  Ironically, Greenland is ground zero for many impacts of climate change, but it could also become ground zero for the materials needed to be a solution to the crisis. 

Listen Now to Future News 8.02.2022 Lots to explore and chat about this week. We love the Carwheel Galaxy images from JWST, and that the moon has hundreds of temperate zones, where humans would feel comfortable with the temperature (63 degrees F), and that the visual drawing AI, DALL-E, has dramatically improved its ability to draw beautiful art from a simple description of a scene. And it looks like we have helped spawn a new ‘citizen scientist’ project with the advent of inexpensive ‘smart balls’ for canines, promising to dramatically increase their intelligence.  A ways to go but we gotta start somwhere!  Enjoy! JSWT captures the large pink, speckled galaxy

Listen Now to Future News and Space Artist Don Davis Future News this episode includes a discussion on space junk, a Virginal plan to print an entire neighborhood with 3D printers, a 17-year in advance blood test for Alzheimer’s, a 105-mile long skycraper plan in Saudi Arabia, and a caller with the water district discussing problems and potential solutions to our water shortage issues. Our guest, Don Davis, is a space artist known for his accurate portrayals of what is he painting, such as the surfaces and atmosphere of distant exo-planets. You can imagine his excitement at having thousands of new images of the cosmos to play with, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope and its ability to see far beyond what has been seen before. Enjoy!  

Listen Now to Dr.Mrs. Future Show 7.19.2022 In news this week we look at the competition to Mars Space-X is facing with new companies, Relativity and Impulse, joining the fray.  Also, we discuss the new Chinese meatballs, created with stem cells, and the extremophiles found in the Canadian Artic that just might feel right at home on Mars. And if all else fails, there are ‘space bubbles’.. Hacker John Draper aka Cap’n CrunchIn the second hour, hacker legend John Draper (Captain Crunch), speaks about hackers hacking the Ukraine War, cutting off the Kremlin from the internet, the current danger of going Nuclear in the conflict, UAPs (UFOs), Skinwalker Ranch revelations, and a wireless revolution via the Helium Blockchain.  Col Terry, ever watchful of existential threats, gives us his analysis and solution to Ukraine situation. Enjoy!  

Listen Now to Dr. Bruce Lipton 7.12.2022 After a brief discussion on the stunning first Webb space telescope images, Dr. Bruce arrives (author of “The Biology of Belief”, “The Honeymoon Effect”, Spontaneous Evolution”, and others),  into the studio and we delve quickly and deeply into his understanding of consciousness and the brain, especially with respect to reprogramming human thinking to create what we wish to experience in this world. We discuss the conscious and unconscious mind, wishes and desires, the Species Operating System, how the film The Matrix is in many ways a documentary, genes and controlling their expressions, how chaos is not random but deterministic, Pavlovian conditioning, Bernays’s programming and hypnosis on a cultural scale, imaginal cells and the butterfly model for change, and biological metaphors for creating a new global government, our next step in our species evolution towards being global humans. Exciting times for us all, enjoy! After our interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton at KSCO studios
