Space Madness Podcast Episode 59: Space Architecture and the Technological Sublime
I find myself drawn to space architecture as a podcast topic because 1. it takes as a given that humans will live and work in space, 2. requires challenging so many daily assumptions and 3. has so many interesting entrace pathways. Speaking to space architects feels like talking to a 3rd century fisherman about modern cruise ships, or to 12th century cathedral builder about skyscrapers. The field of space architecture is not just about creating structures; it's about reimagining how we live and work in an environment vastly different from our own. Jeffrey Montes’ insights remind us that as we venture into the cosmos, innovative design will be key to ensuring human survival and comfort in space. The journey is just beginning, and the possibilities are as limitless as the universe itself.

Space Madness Podcast Episode 58: Fifty Years at JPL
Discover Jim Erickson's 50-year journey at JPL from Voyager to Perseverence, and the lessons learned from a life spent pioneering space exploration. Jim's journey to JPL began in college when he was looking for a summer job to help pay for his education. A fortuitous connection through his father led him to apply for a position at JPL. After impressing the team with his resume and a bit of luck, Jim found himself working on the Voyager mission right out of college. This pivotal moment set the stage for a lifelong career in space exploration. It's a great joy for me to speak with him, as very little is more interesting professionally than the insights, secrets, and stories of those who spent their lives advancing the frontiers of space exploration.

Space Madness Podcast Episode 57: Satellite Racing; the First Sport in Space!
The idea of racing in space may seem like a sci-fi fantasy, but it’s rooted in humanity's longstanding love for competition. From racing cars to horses, we have always sought to push the limits of speed. However, while other forms of transportation have seen organized competitions shortly after their invention, space has lagged behind. The average time from technological invention to the first organized race for cars and planes is around 11 years, whereas space has remained dormant for over 60 years. In this post, we explore the innovative idea of satellite racing, its historical context, and the potential it holds for the future of sports.
