We record the Weekly Space Hangout every Wednesday at 5:00 pm Pacific / 8:00 pm Eastern. You can watch us live on Universe Today or the Weekly Space Hangout YouTube page. This week we are airing Fraser's prerecorded interview with Colonel Terry Virts. Colonel Virts is one of only four astronauts in history to have piloted a Space Shuttle, flown a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, performed space walks, and commanded the ISS. He’s written "HOW TO ASTRONAUT: An Insider’s Guide to Leaving Planet Earth," the book for everyone who wants to know what space travel is really like. Terry took enough photos while in space to create a book and feature IMAX film “View from Above,” all while doing spacewalks to maintain the ISS and conducting science experiments for NASA scientists on Earth. Terry is an expert at demystifying the science associated with space travel, and a treasure trove of anecdotes about daily life in space (How do you shower? What do you wear in space? Can you check your email on the ISS?). He’s also a frequent speaker for National Geographic and I’m pleased to share some clips below my signature. You can learn more about Colonel Terry Virts by visiting his website: https://terryvirts.com/ **************************************** The Weekly Space Hangout is a production of CosmoQuest.

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano provides words of wisdom to young people on how investing their time wisely today can help build a better tomorrow. In this video, Luca recalls his own childhood and says, the most valuable resource we have as young people is time. He encourages the next generation to continue having fun, but to do so while investing in their own education as they plant the seed for a successful future. Success, Luca says, is not measured by being an astronaut or by being rich, but by committing to projects that give you satisfaction and contribute to a better world. If you choose something you love, and you love what you do, you will never work one day in your life. As an ESA astronaut of Italian nationality, Luca has served two six-month space missions on the International Space Station. During his last mission, known as Beyond, in 2019/2020 he became the third European and first ever Italian in command of the Space Station. Luca continues to work as an astronaut in Europe, inspiring the next generation of explorers, and supporting European efforts to enhance life on Earth and the future of space travel through human and robotic exploration.

Scientists recently observed an exotic fifth state of matter known as “Bose-Einstein condensates” for the first time in space using the Cold Atom Lab onboard the International Space Station. BECs could provide crucial insight to help unlock mysteries like dark energy.

In this episode of Down to Earth – All in This Together, NASA Astronaut Jessica Meir recalls her recent time living and working aboard the International Space Station, “I never appreciated how fragile and beautiful and special the Earth was… we have one planet and we are all inhabitants of the same home." #SpaceStation20th

NASA is enabling safe, reliable, and cost-effective crew transportation to and from the International Space Station from two private companies – Spacex and Boeing. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program represents a revolutionary approach to government and commercial collaborations for the advancement of space exploration. For the first time in history, NASA astronauts launched from American soil in a commercially built and operated American crew spacecraft to the space station. The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley launched May 31 on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They returned to Earth and splashed down in the Dragon Endeavor capsule on Sunday, Aug. 2, off the coast of Pensacola, Florida. Known as NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2, the mission is an end-to-end test flight to validate the SpaceX crew transportation system, including launch, in-orbit, docking and landing operations. The program demonstrates NASA’s commitment to investing in commercial companies through public-private partnerships and builds on the success of American companies, including SpaceX, already delivering cargo to the space station. Boeing will also complete an uncrewed flight test followed by a crewed flight test for certification to fly NASA astronauts to the space station.

SpaceX Demo-2 mission is officially a success after the safe return of two NASA astronauts aboard the Crew Dragon capsule. Here's what could have gone wrong.

The #LaunchAmerica mission aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon "Endeavour" spacecraft that brought NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley back to Earth marked the first splashdown of an American crew spacecraft in 45 years. Tune in at 4:30 p.m. EDT to hear Bob and Doug talk about this milestone in human spaceflight.

Today's #LaunchAmerica mission that brought NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley back to Earth marks the first splashdown of an American crew spacecraft in 45 years. Tune in starting at 4:45 p.m. EDT to hear Administrator Jim Bridenstine and #LaunchAmerica mission experts talk about this milestone in human spaceflight.

Docking their SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule to the International Space Station in May completed the first part of the mission for NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley on the first crewed test flight for the Commercial Crew Program (CCP). But their task was far from over. The following months contained another important piece of their journey: living and working aboard the orbiting laboratory. Together, they spent more than 100 hours assisting or conducting science and technology demonstrations on station.

#NASA #SPACEX #Astronaut To change your orbit you must go faster! That is a lesson I learned from the phenomenal Nicole Stott -- an Inspiring Astronaut, Artist and American Hero! Nicole is our second astronaut guest on the podcast, following UCSD's own Dr. Jessica Meir: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-XvFTHAtU?sub_confirmation=1 Nicole is a role model for millions of children around the world. What speaks loudest to me about her, is her humanity and strong sense of giving back. She is a scientist with the soul (and heart) of an artist. Enjoy her unique creations here: https://www.npsdiscovery.com/artist Space for Art: https://www.facebook.com/pg/SpaceForArtFoundation/about/?ref=page_internal Edgar Mitchell once said “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” Nicole brings her space vistas down to earth so that more than just astronauts, and the occasional S.O.B., gets to experience them. Nicole is also an expert on mentorship, leadership and team dynamics. Her favorite phrase comes from Jay Hunicutt “Here’s how we can, not why we can’t!” With the right attitude, as a team, we can make things happen… don’t focus on what can go wrong…come with solutions not just problems. We discussed her biggest fears when she left earth and whether a superhero like her ever experiences imposter syndrome!

Hear from the two NASA astronauts who launched to space aboard the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour, and from International Space Station commander Chris Cassidy, during a live Q&A. Astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley are set to board the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour spacecraft on Saturday, August 1 and undock from the station for the journey home to Earth.   Weather permitting, NASA and SpaceX are targeting 2:42 p.m. EDT Sunday, Aug. 2, for the splashdown and conclusion of the Demo-2 test flight mission. The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, named Endeavour, lifted off May 30 on a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
