New Year and less books in Florida! We've got harsh winter storms sweeping the country, geopolitical moves in the Red Sea, and its looks like Grand Theft Auto in Ecuador. Taiwan's new presidential election, the latest salmonella outbreak, the Golden Globes making history with Lily Gladstone's win! 

Did you know that NASA collects all kinds of data about our world? You can learn about clouds, trees, weather patterns, planets, moons, deep space and more. And the cool thing is all of this data is open to the public.  Cindy Chin, NASA Datanaut, joins us for an exciting and informative chat about ways you can use this data. She also tells us about NASA's Data App Challenge and gives us information about how to participate! 

The Solve It for Kids Podcast is on vacation for the month of July. But we have left you a great clip of three episodes that show the BEST of Thinking Like an Engineer! Listen to short chats from these three amazing guests: Dr. Jermey Matthews (Ep 91: How Do Scientists Get Kids Excited about STEM?), Dr. Cory Hixon (Ep. 77: How do Engineers Think?) and Tracy Drain (Ep 124: How Do You Study Another Planet's Moon?). Enjoy these fun and interesting topics and see you next week for new episodes! 

The Solve It for Kids podcast is on summer break! But we have left you a few clips of some the best space exploration episodes to enjoy. Take a listen to Carl Sandifer from NASA Glenn Research Center, (How do you Power a Spacecraft?), Dr. Sarah D'Souza from NASA Ames Reserach Center (Why does a spacecraft need a heat shield?) and Julie Wolfson at Lockheed Martin (How do you slow down a spaceship?). Don't miss these out-of-this-world episodes! 

It's a bird. It's a plane.  It's the Super Guppy! Have you ever wondered type of plane can transport really huge objects like NASA's Orion spacecraft? Yep. It's the Super Guppy. We are thrilled to have Herb Baker, retired NASA business manager who worked on programs such as the Space Shuttle, the Space Station, and Orion, as well as, the Super Guppy. He's here to tell us all about this amazing aircraft. 

 This time on the show we have decided to review a popular show called The Expanse. Gonzalo pinpoints the hyperrealistic nature of the series and its attention to detail.

Join myself and Gonzalo to hear some interesting stories about technology past, present and future. Solar food, have you tried space ice cream? It’s not vegetarian, it’s not animals so what is it? Hyperloop will we get to LA to San Francisco in 40 minutes? Also, can we survive eating only avocados? Food for thought.

Join myself and Gonzalo Martin who works at the European space agency on an epic adventure through the cosmos. In this episode we discuss the importance of  STEM study which is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking, which you are going to need if you plan on taking an intergalactic trip any time soon!

The IT Crowd was right! You really should try turning everything off and on again to make it work. This week, Cherlynn and Devindra discuss how the FAA did just that to fix its NOTAM system, which alerts pilots of potential hazards. It turns out a database error was enough to send that system into a spiral, which forced the FAA to ground flights Wednesday morning. But of course, this was just one issue facing air travel in America – we also dive into Southwest’s holiday fiasco, as well as potential transportation alternatives.

Yeast is something you probably eat every day (it's in bread!) but would you ever think about sending it into space? That's exactly what Dr. Sergio Santa Maria, the lead scientist for NASA Ames BioSentinel program is doing. BioSentinel is NASA's first biological mission beyond the Earth-Moon system. Their experiment with yeast was launched on the Artemis1 rocket and is now (and forever) flying through space. The goal is to learn how yeast is affected by deep space radiation in hopes of learning how that same radiation might affects humans. Sounds like a cool experiment, doesn't it? It is! Take a listen. 

We’re all about US Astronauts Doug and Bob and their successful launch Saturday May 30. Woo hoo! Ann and Rebecca share a few tips on behaviors to avoid during your next Zoom meeting - don’t run your microwave! Another epic run to the dump with yet more sheet rock. And Rebecca’s COVID 19 garden looks like it’s going to prosper - that means squash-o-mania. 

Sit back and relax and enjoy the story of 5 different crimes that were solved with unconventional methods.  

In this first episode, host Karama Horne and contributor astronomer Phil Plait tell the story of the moon landing - not of the accomplishment, but of its near failure.
