Andrea Macdonald, founder of ideaXme interviews Jekan Thanga, PhD., Head of SpaceTREx laboratory, Principal Investigator of the NASA-funded ASTEROIDS laboratory and Assistant Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arizona. They discuss the latest developments at the laboratories. Moreover, ideaXme receives a news exclusive relating to SpaceTREx's proposal to build a "Noah's Ark" on the Moon. Jump to timestamp - 37 minutes to discover that news!

The Lunar Ark:

SpaceTREx in collaboration with the ASTEROIDS laboratory has proposed utilization of lunar lava tubes as a modern day "Lunar Ark." These subsurface lava tubes are only 4-5 days journey from Earth and are hypothesized to have been pristine for 3-4 billion years. These shelters could be the ideal location for preserving seeds, spores sperms, eggs, and DNA of Earth's rich biodiversity. They estimate needing to preserve 6.7 million species of plants, animals and fungi. SpaceTREx: The Space and Terrestrial Robotic Exploration (SpaceTREx) Laboratory at University of Arizona's Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department develop systems engineering design and control solutions for space, planetary and asteroid exploration, using small spacecraft, robots and sensor network devices. Research is focused on developing enabling technologies for extreme environment exploration, interplanetary CubeSat explorers and on-orbit servicing spanning spacecraft constellations, propulsion, power and communications. The laboratory and key personnel have a diverse range of expertise including CubeSat design, development, launch expertise, smart system design and control using bio-inspired and neural network control paradigms, space weather and extreme-environment robotics.

News relating to the Lunar Ark:

Jekan Thanga, Head of SpaceTREx: [37:10​] In the next week or so at the Interplanetary Small Satellite Conference, we're going to be giving an update to the world about progress that we've been making on the Lunar Ark project. And I can give you an early indication of what that update will entail. We've branched out into two fronts, further exploring and advancing the Lunar Ark concept. One is, we've been looking at how we could start the Lunar Ark project in the near term. In the original idea we talk of preserving six point seven million species. It's going to take a lot of resources. It's going to require advancement in cryogenic. We think it's at least 30 years away. But can we get started now? Can we at least start to see important bio matter there as we speak? And so that's the second thrust that we're looking at. What would it take specifically to go out and explore these lava tubes in one mission and in that second mission? What would it take to take seed samples just like from Svalbard and deploy them into these laboratories? And so we've been doing some early feasibility studies on those fronts. And on a second thrust, we've been trying to we've been identifying the component technologies that are needed for this whole effort of, you know, the Lunar Arc. And one of that means transport of all this bio matter from Earth on at least a five day journey to the Moon under cryo conditions. And so you need some kind of cryo container that can do that for you. And so we've developed a prototype cryo container experiment. And so we'll be sharing details about that in this upcoming conference. And that, too, is another effort to further build up the building blocks necessary for the bigger project.

Neil Koenig TV Producer and Journalist interviews David Roche, Founder of Independent Strategy.

Neil Koenig comments:

The great financial crisis that began in 2007 mostly took the world by surprise. And the main reason why so few experts saw it coming, says the global investment strategist David Roche, is that most of our existing tools for analysing how economies work are "useless". He argues that fresh ideas are needed, building on insights drawn from other fields of study, such as quantum physics. He is well placed to make such a case, having forecast some of the major turning points that have affected global markets, such as the demise of the Soviet Bloc and the subsequent fall of the Berlin Wall, and the financial crisis that swept Asia in the late 1990s. David Roche grew up in County Kildare in Ireland. He holds an MA from Trinity College, Dublin and an MBA with the highest distinction from INSEAD. He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst and has a diploma in accounting and finance from the UK's Association of Certified Accountants. In his youth he spent time in various countries, including a period in what was then known as the USSR. He says he fell into a career in investment strategy "by accident". After a spell working for JP Morgan, he joined the multinational financial services enterprise Morgan Stanley, where he was Head of Research and Global Strategist.

In 1994, after leaving Morgan Stanley, he founded Independent Strategy, an investment research firm which provides advice to institutional investors and governments. He often contributes to many top financial publications and is also a regular commentator on the BBC, Bloomberg TV and CNBC television networks. He is also the author of several books, including "New Monetarism", "Sovereign DisCredit!" And "DemoCrisis". For David Roche, "the first thing that's wrong with [conventional] economics is consensus thinking". The traditional view, he explains, is that human behaviour is consistent, stable and predictable - whereas in fact it is "disruptive". In this interview he explains why getting to grips with the baffling worlds of quantum physics and mechanics may help economists and forecasters to build models that better reflect the incoherence of today's economic scene.

Andrea Macdonald founder of ideaXme interviews Dr. Kevin Pitts, Chief Research Officer at Fermilab and Physics Professor, University of Illinois.

They spoke of 2 exciting research projects. The first focuses on neutrinos and the second on muons: Will these experiments reveal new laws?

13.8 billion years ago matter pitted against antimatter and won. DUNE, a new experiment in the making, hosted by Fermilab attempts to discover why matter won - that is, why the universe and galaxies exist at all. The current models dictate that the Big Bang created equal parts matter and antimatter. Within a second, all the matter and antimatter should have met and annihilated, leaving behind a universe with nothing but energy in the form of light. The first results for a second experiment from the same lab - Muon g-2 were recently published. Although, at the early stages of the experiment (5 runs in total and less than 10% of the data processed) many believe that the results to date show promise to challenge The Standard Model of Physics. Dr. Kevin Pitts: Kevin Pitts of the University of Illinois has been named chief research officer at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory beginning March 1. His focus will be on oversight for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, including advancing scientific excellence across the laboratory through strong communication, collaboration and coordination with the Department of Energy and other partners. He joins the laboratory as it prepares to usher in a new era of science and innovation in particle physics research and discovery. "We are proud to have Kevin Pitts join Fermilab at a time when DUNE is underway," said Joe Lykken, deputy director for research at Fermilab. "His leadership and research collaboration with Fermilab make him the ideal person to direct the development of the DUNE research program both at the laboratory and with our partner institutions." Upon its completion, DUNE, supported by the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, will make Fermilab the premier neutrino research institution globally. DUNE is the first international mega-science project at a DOE lab and Fermilab's flagship project. Hosted by Fermilab, it comprises over 200 institutions in more than 30 countries. Construction work for LBNF, along with the PIP-II accelerator, are in progress at Fermilab in Illinois and at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. Pitts joins Fermilab after 22 years with the University of Illinois where he was most recently the vice provost for undergraduate education and a professor of physics in the Grainger College of Engineering. He has a long history working on experiments at Fermilab, including participation in the discovery of the top quark in 1995. Additionally, he has been serving on the Long Baseline Neutrino Committee since 2016. "Fermilab has been an important part of the first-half of my career and I am thrilled to be joining the laboratory as chief research officer," Pitts said. "After numerous Fermilab research projects and collaborations, I am honored to be leading the ball down the field to further the development of DUNE and other neutrino research projects." He received a B.A. in physics and mathematics from Anderson University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Oregon. Pitts was a research associate at Fermilab on the CDF experiment. He also works on the Muon g-2 experiment. Kevin Pitts is a fellow of the American Physics Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and is a member of the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel. He has received numerous awards and recognitions for his research, teaching and advising. Fermilab is supported by the Department of Energy Office of Science. The DOE Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Andrea Macdonald, founder of ideaXme interviews Craig Fugate, former Administrator at FEMA, USA, (2009-2017), reporting to President Barack Obama.

Craig, now Chief Emergency Officer, One Concern, provides his perspective on the recent crisis in Texas - the power grid outage, the current Mexican border refugee challenge (9,500 unaccompanied children at the border in February 2021) and his perspective on working together across nations to build international planetary-wide resilience.

Towards the end of the interview he even provides some tips on how we can as individuals all get through these tough and pressured times to build resilience.

Craig Fugate's Official Biography:

Mr Fugate served as President Barack Obama's FEMA Administrator from May 2009 to January 2017. Previously, he served as Florida Governor Jeb Bush's Emergency Management Director from 2001-2009. Fugate led FEMA through multiple record-breaking disaster years and oversaw the Federal Government's response to major events such as the Joplin and Moore Tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Matthew, and the 2016 Louisiana flooding. Prior to his tenure at FEMA, Fugate was widely praised for his management, under Governor Jeb Bush, of the devastating effects of the 2004 and 2005 Florida hurricane seasons (Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma). During his tenure, Fugate focused not only on restoring FEMA's response capabilities but on promoting emergency management as a community and shared responsibility. Fugate instituted a permanent effort to build the nation's capacity to stabilize a catastrophic event within 72 hours. He drove completion of Presidential policy on national preparedness and implemented the National Preparedness System to build unity of effort to address the nation's most significant risks. On Fugate's watch, FEMA awarded more than $19 billion in preparedness grants, supported more than 700 drills and exercises in 47 states, and had more than 40 million participants take part in grassroots community preparedness drills. During Fugate's tenure, rates of adoption for disaster resilient building codes nationwide increased from 40% in 2009 to 63% in 2016. Fugate also provided Federal Government-wide leadership on reducing disaster risk through efforts to develop for President Obama's approval executive orders that reduce the Nation's flood, earthquake, and wildfire risk through managed Federal investment in hazard-prone areas. FEMA's use of technology to support operations and enable decision-making flourished under Fugate's leadership. Prior to his service in the Obama Administration, Fugate served as Florida's Emergency Management Director. As the State Coordinating Officer for 11 Presidentially-declared disasters, he managed more than $4 billion in Federal disaster assistance. In 2004, Fugate managed the largest Federal disaster response in Florida history as four major hurricanes - Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne - impacted the state in quick succession. In 2005, Florida was again impacted by major disasters when three more hurricanes - Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma - made landfall in the state. The impact from Katrina was felt more strongly in the Gulf coast states to the west but Florida launched the largest mutual aid response in its history in support of those states. Under Fugate's stewardship, Florida's emergency management program became the first statewide program in the Nation to receive full accreditation from the Emergency Management Accreditation Program. In 2016, he was the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) Lacy E. Suiter Award honoree for lifetime achievements and contributions in the field of emergency management. In 2017, Fugate formed Craig Fugate Consulting LL. and joined One Concern as Chief Emergency Management Officer.

They believe that success and its rewards should be founded on merit and expertise, rather than gender. They support young females aspiring to a career in the built environment sector, as well as supporting those in 'mid-career' and at board level.

Excerpt of transcript:

Keith Clarke, Chair of Constructionarium[00:49:51] The good aspect of CO2e, is that you turn it into a singular driver. I think for agriculture and big infrastructure projects, biodiversity net gain is another complexity. So not to belittle that, you've got to deal with the biodiversity issue. But for most buildings or in an urban context, CO2e, carbon dioxide equivalent and greenhouse gas equivalence is a really good singular driver of a new design parameter. It manifests itself in all sorts of ways. Can you reuse the structure? Can you add two floors to the existing foundations?

Keith Clarke, Chair of Constructionarium[00:51:58] . The issues we've had with quality, certainly in the UK have been about standards and we have a disgraceful issue going on with fire protection in the UK and in one particular sector, which is housing. All of those things will have to be addressed. However, decarbonising at speed means you really are going to disrupt the industry. So, embrace it or get left behind.

What will future space habitats for humans on the Moon or Mars look like? What do we need to consider when we design habitats for outer space? Dr. Samer El Sayary designs future habitats for outer space. He is a practicing Architect and Assistant Professor at the Beirut Arab university. https://www.samerelsayary.com.

Here, Dr Sayary is interviewed by Andrea Macdonald, Founder of ideaXme.

Listen to this interview, not only to hear of his unique approach to designing for both Earth and Space - see his international award winning designs for human space habitats.

Dr. Sayary pushes the boundaries of experimental design combining cutting edge science and technology to produce new realms of architectural design that addresses both problems on earth as well as outer space. Sayary has received over 36 international and national architecture awards. He has been the recipient of the prestigious Hassan Fathy Award twice. His works are recognized and published widely in many local and international media appearances including in Wired Magazine and the Discovery Channel.

Transcript:

Andrea Macdonald, Founder, ideaXme: [00:00:17] It's just a matter of time before humans inhabit the Moon and Mars. But what sort of habitats are we going to design to survive there? I'm here with a multi-award winning architect who has considered this question. In your words, who are you?

Dr. Samer El Sayary, Assistant Professor of Architecture: [00:00:59] My name is Samer El Sayary. I'm an Assistant Professor of architecture, at Beirut Arab University. I'm a researcher and an award-winning architect. I have a special passion for outer space architecture. I graduated 20 years ago in 2001, at the top of my class. Through the years have gained over 36 awards and prizes. Most of them are from international institutes, across four different continents. I served as a Mars City Design ambassador for three years in Los Angeles, and that was because I was awarded the first prize in 2017. I've also served at The Jacques Rougerie Foundation as a junior ambassador in Paris, which I have been doing for the last two years and I still represent them.

Dr. Samer El Sayary, Assistant Professor in Architecture: [00:01:55] I've succeeded in exhibiting my work in several countries, including NASA's Johnson Space Centre in Houston in 2019. I've exhibited in France twice in 2016 and 2020. In Greece during 2015, in Tunisia during 2011 and in Egypt in 2011 and 2013 during some prestigious awards and honours. My work has been featured in the Discovery Channel UK, on Dutch TV in California Dreamers, Wired Magazine in 2017, Up- Magazine, L'arca magazine, Architectural d'aujordhui, universetoday.com, designboom.com, archdaily.com, spacearchitect.org, among many others.

Dr. Samer El Sayary, Assistant Professor in Architecture: [00:02:33] I see myself belonging to the first generation of space architects who will write the future, turning science fiction into design reality. We see ourselves as the people who will pave the road for humanity to survive and thrive outside of Earth in the near future and on Earth as well, by using existing technologies or near future technologies. Dr. Samer El Sayary, Assistant Professor in Architecture: [00:03:31] I can define myself as a science-tect. It's a new expression that means an experimental architect who uses science in making architecture and then experiments with this architecture and finally, produces scientific papers. As a by-product of the awarded projects, just a couple of weeks ago, I succeeded in publishing in the Q1 Scientific Journal, Solar Energy Journal. I work in a closed loop circular way, starting by reading science, producing architecture and then experimenting with this architecture, reaching new conclusions and then writing new scientific papers.

Dr. Samer El Sayary, Assistant Professor in Architecture: [00:05:20] I do believe that we are living in this era and we have a responsibility to take all of this accumulated science and rethink it, redefine it using cutting edge technology, what we have today and what is available today and to anticipate what will be available in the near future.

Andrea Macdonald, founder of ideaXme interviews Perry Marshall, founder of Evolution 2.0 Prize and Natural Code LLC.

Perry Marshall is a high level connector and multi-disciplinary disseminator of both biological and inorganic information. He is most recently famous for corralling some of the world's top scientists and entrepreneurs to found the $10 Million Evolution 2.0 Prize, a challenge which focuses on one of the biggest questions: How did DNA get code?

Perry, a former engineer is prolific in the business world. He is one of the most expensive business consultants on the planet. Moreover, authored the world's best selling books on Google and Facebook advertising. His 80/20 Sales and Marketing is the definitive text of its kind and the rules therein can be applied to business and science alike.

In this ideaXme interview Perry reveals the essential qualities a team or individual will need to win the Evolution 2.0 Prize. What's more, he shares the key role Rich Connectedness and serendipity is anticipated to play in contestants arriving at a solution to the problem set by the Evolution 2.0 Prize organisers.

Natural Code LLC is a Private Equity Investment group formed to identify a naturally occurring code. Their mission is to discover, develop and commercialise core principles of nature which give rise to information, consciousness and intelligence.

Natural Code LLC will pay the researcher $100,000 for the initial discovery of such a code. If the newly discovered process is defensibly patentable, they will secure the patent(s).

The discoverer will retain a percentage of ongoing ownership of the technology, sharing in future profits of the company, while benefitting from the extensive finance, marketing and technology experience of our investment group. Prize amount as of May 31, 2019 was $10 million.

Code is absolutely necessary for replication and for life. Code is needed for cells to have instructions to build themselves; code is required for reproduction. Code that has the ability to re-write itself is essential for any kind of evolution to occur.

We define code as a symbolic information passed between an encoder and a decoder (Claude Shannon 1948).

So, where did the information in DNA come from? Currently, no one knows the answer.
