Rocket Ranch, NASA's Kennedy Space Center Podcast

Bob Crippen was a rookie astronaut in 1978 when NASA assigned him and veteran astronaut John Young to train for the very first space shuttle flight. In this episode for the 40th anniversary of STS-1, Crippen reflects on the mission and shuttle Columbia.

Dealing With Isolation

Imagine a future where the Perseverance Rover actually found definitive evidence of life on Mars. What would happen next? The Explore Mars Society recently held a virtual discussion on this topic with NASA’s chief scientist Jim Green and astrobiologist Penelope Boston from NASA’s Ames Research Center. Hosted by Mat Kaplan of the Planetary Society’s Planetary Radio podcast, the panelists talked about the current evidence for chemistry associated with life on Mars, what we can learn from life in extreme environments on Earth, and how finding evidence of life on Mars would change the world.

ESA Director General Jan Wörner and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine sit down with hosts Ally Koehler and Stephen Ennis to talk about collaboration and the future of space exploration – including a new space station around the Moon. This episode was recorded just ahead of the 20 year anniversary of humans living and working on the International Space Station on 2 November 2020. 

Please note, there are some issues with audio quality due to the nature of recording remotely during a pandemic. We hope these don't detract from your listening experience. Enjoy!

On a Mission: Season 3, Episode 8 - Fueled by Fire

Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is a mysterious dwarf planet called Ceres. Its surface is dark and muddy, but has hundreds of patches of bright material. The salt-covered dome and other bright features in Occator Crater are so reflective that they looked like flashlights in distant images. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft got a close look, and pointed scientists to the idea that liquid brine has come up from the interior of Ceres, forming the Occator dome and other bright features. Ceres’ crust also contains a significant amount of ice. Astrobiologist Britney Schmidt discusses the implications, as well as her fieldwork in Antarctica.

Intróito da Missa da Festa da Epifania do Senhor (Malaquias 3. 1; I Crônicas 29. 12; Salmo 71. 1):

Ecce advénit dominátor Dóminus: et regnum in manu ejus, et potéstas, et impérium. Ps. Deus, judícium tuum Regi da: et justítiam tuam Fílio Regis.

Eis que vem o Senhor, o dominador, tendo na sua mão o reino, o poder e o império. Sl. Ó Deus, dai o vosso discernimento ao Rei, e a vossa justiça ao filho do Rei.

D'Aquin (L.-C.), VI. Noël "Qu'Adam fut un pauvre homme"

On Episode 177, Paul Niles, planetary geologist and analytical geochemist, describes the Mars environment, terrain, weather, atmosphere, and more that humans will face while living on the Red Planet on this ninth episode of our Mars Monthly series, where we drop a new episode about a human mission to Mars on the first Friday of every month.

Searching For Extraterrestrial Life Like ‘Sherlock Holmes’

On this episode of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Rocket Ranch Podcast, we remember Challenger, her crew and their survivors, and how we carry forward the lessons NASA learned with the director of the Apollo Challenger Columbia Lessons Learned Program.

Lessons of Loss

The rocket ranch welcomes Dr. Moogega Cooper, NASA JPL's planetary protection lead for Mars Perseverance. She'll tell us how she and her team are actually protecting Mars and she'll describe the incredibly complex maneuvers needed to land on the red planet. Plus, she'll tell us about the most exciting parts of its astrobiology mission.

Perseverance Rover: Rapid Disassembly, Martian Mission, and Beyond

The Rocket Ranch welcomes Sheldon Lauderdale, Program Analyst for NASA's Commercial Crew Program, which last year returned human spaceflight to orbit from U.S. soil. Shel will tell us what it's like to be part of the NASA family. He'll share where he draws inspiration, plus, he’ll talk about his role supporting NASA’s efforts to expand diversity and inclusion to empower the next generation of explorers.

Being Black in the NASA Family, Finding Inspiration, and Becoming More Inclusive

Hello, we’re NASA. You may have seen our astronauts, rocket launches, or Mars rovers — but have you heard our sounds? From interviews with astronauts and engineers to stories that take you on a tour of the galaxy, NASA’s audio offerings let you experience the thrill of space exploration without ever leaving Earth.
