In this episode I talk to Vi Tran, a Space Medicine student at Adelaide University. Vi’s Honours project analyses data from the Artificial Gravity Bed Rest study at the European Space Agency, with a focus on the gluteal muscles. In essence, Vi studies what might happen to butts in Space, which makes this episode, recorded over Zoom, a literal Booty Call. Outside of her research, Vi has worked with the Flying Doctor service in Broome, WA, and enjoys long-distance running. Our discussion delves into philosophy, and how she thinks about finding duty and purpose while pursuing an unconventional career path.

In this episode I chat to science communicator and astrophysicist Kirsten Banks. Kirsten is currently undertaking a PhD at UNSW in astrophysics. She is passionate about increasing the representation of women in science, and as a proud Wiradjuri woman often speaks on TV, radio, and at public events about aboriginal astronomy. Kirsten was the winner of the CSIRO Indigenous STEM Award in 2018 and spoke at TEDx Youth @ Sydney in 2019. I was super excited to catch up with Kirsten over a cup of tea via Zoom to talk about her PhD research and career, and to chat about flat earthers, tik tok, and the good (and bad) of being young women on the internet.

This podcast begins with a conversation over a cup of tea with Thomas Gooch, founder of the Office of Other Spaces, the Office of Planetary Obervations, and the national Australian director of the Moon Village Association. Regular listeners might remember Thomas as the host of the Moon Village Association panel on the Moon in Melbourne in February this year.

The second half of the episode is the audio from the presentation Thomas gave at the conference ‘Property rights and real estate interests in outer space’ which was hosted online by RMIT university on 1 May 2020.

The event was sponsored by:

• The Space Industry Association of Australia
• RMIT School of Property, Construction and Project Management
• Sir Lawrence Wackett Centre
• YK Law

I’d like to thank Rebecca Leshinsky, Sam Le May and the team from RMIT for making this recording available for publication through the Space Junk Podcast.

If you would like to watch this presentation and see the slides along with the audio, you can it here: https://youtu.be/gIr68YGvtuo

Because this is a recording from an online conference, the audio is a little crackly, so I suggest listening without headphones.

A/Prof Alice Gorman, who tweets as @drspacejunk and is the author of 'Dr Space Junk vs The Universe' is an internationally recognised leader in the emerging field of space archaeology. Closer to home she has worked extensively in Australian Indigenous heritage management, providing advice for mining industry, urban development, government departments, local councils and Native Title groups in Australia. She is also a specialist in stone tool analysis, and the Aboriginal use of bottle glass after European settlement. Alice and I got together over Zoom to record this podcast episode. We talk about 'what is space junk?' and who gets to decide, and how we might solve the dual issues of safety and heritage management in Earth orbit and in space more generally.

Cain and Tal join me again to unpack the film Interstellar, the 2014 Christopher Nolan film that made relativity even cooler than it already was.

This was recorded back before the crisis really hit Australia, and you can totally tell because we talk about the bushfires as if they are the worst thing we’ll encounter this decade, and about social isolation and video chat lag as if it’s something you’ll only experience on a spaceship or inside NORAD.

If you watched the ABC program ‘employable me’ last year you might remember Cain, who identifies as being on the autism spectrum and channels his talents into watching and reviewing hundreds of movies a year. Natalia Bye, also known as Tal, is an aboriginal Australian woman and mother of two who also runs that fantastic podcast ‘Australian History: Journals of the Early Explorers’ which can be found here: https://player.whooshkaa.com/shows/australian-history-journals-of-the-early-explorers

In this very fun episode I'm joined by Cain and Tal from the phenomenal Aussie podcast ‘Movies with Cain and Tal’. We consume junk food while talking about a film that can only be called junk cinema – the 1964 cult classic ‘Santa Claus Conquers the Martians’.
