The FRAM2 Mission is ready to take flight on Monday, March 31st with a 4.5 hour launch window that starts at 9:46PM ET! We'll be going live on social media for a Launch Hangout if you want to join us and hangout. This episode is covering all the basics for the first crewed polar orbiting mission, you'll learn about the mission, the crew, the original Polar Expedition with the FRAM ship, and our thoughts on the next human spaceflight mission!

Since this is a private mission, there's so much to learn about as it's not the typical NASA Astronaut mission. Plenty of firsts, along with an all-international crew with all but 1 Astronaut being the first of their country to go to space. For all the adventurers out there, this mission is for you!

Let us know what you think about the mission! Hit is up on social media @todayinspacepod on X/Instagram/Threads, @todayinspace on TikTok, or email us at [email protected]!

On this week's episode we discuss the return of Crew 9 to Earth after! All four humans on board spent at least half a year, while the "stranded" Starliner Astronauts returned home after 9.5 months in space. We breakdown the whole thing, starting by introducing the crew, reviewing the Starliner Saga, and discussing why this mission was so important, and engaging. We also discuss the importance of international cooperation, the challenges faced, and the significance of NASA's backup plan, and the resilience of the SpaceX teams that made it all happen.

So buckle up, and let's dive in! Thanks for joining us for another episode of Today In Space

Firefly Aerospace successfully landed its Blue Ghost 1 mission on the moon on March 2, 2025, as part of NASA's CLIPS program. They became the 1st Commercial Company to touchdown safely and land on the moon! 

The mission, which cost 1/10th of a NASA-led mission, carried 10 NASA instruments onboard (among some other payloads as well). The mission's instruments will study lunar dust, solar wind interactions, and other scientific phenomena. Future missions, including Intuitive Machines' IAM-2, are expected to build on the Lunar Momentum, with significant scientific data expected in the coming weeks before the bitter cold of lunar darkness.

Buckle up, and let's dive in! Thanks for joining us for another episode of Today In Space

On today’s episode, we’re diving into what’s going on with Near-Earth Asteroid 2024 YR4. You may have heard online that this asteroid is on a trajectory to impact Earth on December 22nd, 2032. It’s captured the zeitgeist and everyone’s talking about it. 

But what can we do in the meantime? We say - Let’s learn! We need to science the $%#t out of this one! We’re going to explore the idea of planetary defense, the level of impact if it does hit Earth in 2032, and how lucky we are to have successful missions like DART and HERA to lean on for our “armageddon” moment. 

We'll also try to answer these questions:

• What is the Asteroid?
• What is the impact potential on Earth?
• How was it discovered?
• Why do the impact probabilities keep changing?
• What can we do about it?
• Why don't we just NUKE it?

Keywords:

On this week's episode, Alex dives into Japan's Lignosat mission from JAXA!

• LignoSat is a wooden CubeSat launched from the International Space Station on December 13, 2024.
• LignoSat aims to test wood as a sustainable, thermally insulating alternative to traditional space materials like aluminum and titanium.
• Previous research by Kyoto University showed wood's resilience to space conditions over 10 months.
• The mission could reduce orbital debris and environmental impacts of re-entry. 

We also recognize the major job changes in the space industry since the start of the year and invite space professionals to network here on Today In Space! Email us at [email protected] if you're interested in sharing your Space Industry story and promote what you're working on next in an episode of People of Science.

Welcome back to Today In Space! It’s the end of January, and we couldn’t start off the year without a recap of one of my favorite space theories—the Space Conundrum. As space progress accelerates, so does the chaos in society. But why does this happen? Why are they correlated? And more importantly, where is this all heading?”

We’re going to explain what the space conundrum is, how it led to a world changing event the first time and why these times, as crazy & wild as they are, are actually a cycle we’ve seen before. So in favor of mental health & focus, let’s search for answers in the chaos of space progress and humanity!

This week, on Today In Space...our first 'Tech Talk' about AI & Business (with some aspirational takes on the role of AI in Humanity's future on Earth and in Space). Our guest David Hirschfeld, CEO of Tekyz, shares the knowledge of his 35-year career in software, including his origin story founding a vending machine software company that grew to 800 customers in 22 countries! We discuss business and AI; including Tekyz's take on the importance of product-market fit and early customer engagement given that "95-98%" of startups fail. David introduced "Launch First," a strategy for pre-launch sales to validate market demand, sharing success stories of securing $70,000 in 60 days for a real estate product and $250,000 for clinical trial software. Long story short - David was a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise, and we talked about almost anything and everything tech, AI, and even philosophy and business along with some laughs!

With the way 2025 is shaping up, AI and technology will continue to make a difference in our lives. Our goal is to dive-in head first, try to understand the unknown and talk to experts along the way and share it with you. Our goal is to face our fear of the unknow and try to understand the magic behind it, using the scientific mindset as our guide. If AI's promise of impact is anywhere close to humanity discovering fire, then every little bit of understanding we have will help us make a better future for the world tomorrow. While we definitely recommend you do your homework, all you need to do is get comfortable, get ready to listen, and dive in with us.

Alex shares some of his thoughts and concerns about AI, and the two have a great debate of ideas and topics, some of which include:

• The Value-Add for AI and how it can help you
• Concerns about AI and Corruption
• The Quality of data used to train AI models
• The Energy consumption of AI at scale 
• The future of AI in Space Travel
• Examples of real life applications of AI to make life better for individuals and businesses

We thank David for joining us and being such a great guest! We look forward to checking in with him in the future and see if any of his predictions were spot on. Check out his new podcast, "Scaling Smarter" at https://tekyz.podbean.com/.  People interested at becoming a guest can schedule at scalingsmarter.net

On this episode, in the wake of Blue Origin’s maiden launch of New Glenn and SpaceX’s fascinating Starship Flight 7 it’s time to take a step back and tell the tale of Two Heavy Lift Rockets. After a decade of space progress from both companies, they each took different engineering approaches to building a rocket. Depending on when you look at their progress, it might feel like one approach is better than the other. 

But is there a real answer to the “right approach” to building a rocket? Or is success only measured by how well that rocket flies and sends payloads into orbit? The race between the Tortoise (Blue Origin) & the Hare (SpaceX) is in full swing now that New Glenn is orbital. Is there an end to the race? We hope not anytime soon - and that the American Space Program continues to grow thanks to these two innovative companies and the thousands of people that make it happen behind the scenes.

This was a hard episode to put together, especially given the timing. While I think it came out better than it would have been originally, we hope it shares a glimpse of the next 5-10 years, the challenges these companies will face, and how painful yet beautiful the quest of reaching the final frontier really is.

In 2025, we’re predicting a BIG year for human space progress! In this episode we’re breaking down what we’re looking forward to, and adding some of our own predictions as well.

It’s going to be a wild year with so much to follow, like SpaceX, Starship, NASA Artemis, the New pick for NASA Administrator, Crew Dragon, Boeing Starliner, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, space stations and more! Not to mention our thoughts on other Global space programs, including Russia, India, and China.

This year will be one for the record books, we can feel it. Let’s enjoy history as it’s happening and dive into 2025 the year of human space progress! Happy New Year & May you find Mental and Physical Wealth this year
