Hainan Island, 2025. The tropical air shudders as the Long March 9 rocket climbs into the sky and disappears, leaving behind only tendrils of smoke. Thousands of miles away in Tiananmen Square, plasma screens show the launch to a vast, cheering crowd. The rocket is carrying China’s 98th, 99th, and 100th taikonauts to the Moon, where they will take their turn manning the recently established lunar base.

This episode features special guest Tim Glotch of Stonybrook University and introduce the science and education programs associated with RIS4.

The CLSE Hangout series explores the modern Lunar exploration as we consider the science, technology, training, and education that are required to understand our nearest neighbor and prepare for the eventual return of mankind.

Albert Einstein predicted that gravitational waves exist, back in June of 1916. But actual proof of their existence didn’t arrive until almost 100 years later.

On September 14th, 2015 gravitational waves were directly detected for the very first time. Gravitational waves had been indirectly detected before, but this was a direct detection.

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce.

Our podcast extra, to explain in simple terms, why the detection of Gravitational Waves is SO ground-breaking

For anyone who's still a little fuzzy or confused by the enormity of the recent detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO facility, we've recorded a special podcast extra to shed some light on the impossibly complex world of General Relativity, interferometry detectors and gravitational waves themselves.

This podcast extra should explain in simple terms:
- What gravitational waves are
- Why they're so important
- How they were detected
- What this means for the future of physics & astronomy

With special thanks to LIGO, the National Science Foundation and Cardiff University's School of Physics and Astronomy

Their stories this week:
- LIGO - Einstein is still right!

http://www.universetoday.com/127329/gravitational-wave-sources/

- Man in India killed by meteor? (NASA says no…would have been a cool way to go though)

- NASA budget proposal

- Asteroid Retrieval Mission delayed to 2023 (and probably forever)

- JWST primary mirror fully assembled

- Hidden Galaxies!!
We’ve had an abundance of news stories for the past few months, and not enough time to get to them all. So we’ve started a new system. Instead of adding all of the stories to the spreadsheet each week, we are now using a tool called Trello to submit and vote on stories we would like to see covered each week, and then Fraser will be selecting the stories from there. Here is the link to the Trello WSH page (http://bit.ly/WSHVote), which you can see without logging in. If you’d like to vote, just create a login and help us decide what to cover!
We record the Weekly Space Hangout every Friday at 12:00 pm Pacific / 3:00 pm Eastern. You can watch us live on Google+, Universe Today, or the Universe Today YouTube page.
You can also join in the discussion between episodes over at our Weekly Space Hangout Crew group in G+!

We haven’t been back to the Moon for over forty years. The Space Shuttle was retired in 2011 after a rocky history that saw two out of the five orbiters destroyed catastrophically with the death of all on board. For four years the United States has only able to get astronauts into Earth orbit with help from the Russians, who aren’t our best friends these days. The International Space Station is functional, but it’s unpopular with the companies it was supposed to attract.
