The SpaceInfo Podcast

High-performance teams operate under extreme pressure, and understanding the dynamics that drive success is crucial—especially in the space industry. In this episode, Paul Hawkins shares profound insights from his work with Crazy Might Work, a program launched in Antarctica that focuses on human behavior in critical situations.Through extensive research in Antarctica, Paul shares that some teams emerge from harsh conditions as tight-knit families, while others become fractured. The difference often lies in how they interact and support one another during adversity.

Astronomy has always adapted to new technologies—from photography to CCDs to adaptive optics. Do you see satellite constellations as another challenge the field will eventually overcome, or is this fundamentally different because it alters the sky itself rather than just the way we observe it?Want to meet Dr Lampkin and ask him questions? On Wed. 29th of July, at Space Park Leicester!

While delayed, Artemis 2 mission is a peculiar one. Not the usual LEO launch we're used to nowadays. It's similar to those Apollo mission of the glorious past. But are you able to describe the details of its trajectory?Let's do this together!🔔 Subscribe to the SpaceInfo Club channel, the biggest help you can give us!

According to NASA, telemetry data revealed an interruption in helium flow to the rocket’s Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS), the upper stage responsible for sending Orion out of Earth orbit and toward the Moon. Helium is essential for pressurizing propellant tanks and supporting proper engine conditioning prior to ignition. Without stable helium flow, the stage cannot be certified for flight.

During the February 19–20 countdown simulation, engineers fully fueled the SLS core and upper stages with hundreds of thousands of gallons of cryogenic propellant, executed multiple countdown holds, and validated terminal count procedures that mirror launch day operations. Teams also rehearsed closing out the Orion crew module and verified performance of critical ground support systems.

SpaceX just changed its space strategy.Instead of building a Mars colony first, Elon Musk says the Moon now comes first.But this isn’t just about geography — it’s about AI, Starship, orbital computing, and building a real space economy.Is the Moon the smarter move?

On February 1, 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-107) broke apart during re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.All seven astronauts on board were killed.The shuttle disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana, scattering debris across several states.
