Still in awe of our lunar landing achievement. Dr. Tim Crain, my fellow co-founder and CTO at Intuitive Machines, provided unique insights about the IM-1 mission, shedding light on our groundbreaking success of landing on the lunar South Pole. Listen to this podcast to learn more of the science, teamwork, and ingenuity behind this historic milestone!

I had the pleasure of hosting NASA's Dr. Dalia Kirschbaum, the Director of the Earth Sciences Division at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, in Interesting Engineering's latest Lexicon podcast! Thank you for such an insightful conversation on how the satellites of NASA's GPM mission are advancing our understanding of Earth's water cycle, as well as what this means for predicting rain-triggered hazards globally. Here's the article on what we discussed: https://lnkd.in/ewzhyjFr

Light as a healer? Dr. Harry T Whelan, a NASA Space Technology Hall of Famer, is one of the pioneers of this ""gentle"" approach. But how's the efficacy of the trending light therapy? Dive into our latest blog post to uncover the evidence: https://buff.ly/3T10AxV"

NASA's Engineering Communication Disaster: Episode 3 is now up on my Patreon. https://lnkd.in/gJ6xJsf3 This is a six-part series (text and podcast) that looks at the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and the deaths of seven astronauts. Today, I'm looking at how the hard science approach led NASA engineers right back to a soft, fuzzy, ever-so-human ability to believe in something even given a lack of hard evidence.

Digital twins are by no means a new concept, with NASA initially pioneering the idea in the 1960s. Adoption and implementation have gained a lot of momentum since then, especially in recent years as businesses begin to recognise their wide-ranging benefits.

You know the adage about the best time to plant a tree? Well what if a tree planted yesterday grows up to be the furthest human made tech currently operating beyond the influence of the sun? I read today that the flight team for NASA's Voyager I (currently exploring interstellar space) was successful in resolving a critical memory issue allowing them to continue communicating with it. There's a couple things worth noting here. Voyager I was launched in 1977, so it's 47 year old chip they're troubleshooting (and 1970's era tech). But what really got my attention was the highlighted headache for the team is that they have to work in delays because it takes time for a radio signal to reach Voyager I and for it to respond. The delay is 22.5 hours for Earth to reach Voyager I, 15 billion miles away. It's still communicating and fixable. And viewable here for those curious: https://lnkd.in/e_QNwyTp So if you're planting something--an idea, a conversation, a company--keep going. Apparently time and distance are quite solvable.

ICYMI: Our latest podcast episode is about the Artemis Lunar Terrain Vehicle! Take a look:

Forecasting weather, changes to sea conditions, and food supply changes are part of the interest in making best use of satellite data. Making the information broadly available increases the opportunities to bring innovative ideas to data use. Good video here by NASA, talking about a view to studying ocean conditions.

In 2018, Federal Budget IQ identified climate resilience as a 10-year multi-billion dollar federal policy and funding priority. Our team argued that the leading edge of those investments would be improved climate science and weather-forecasting at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.
