Zeit Podcast: Alles gesagt: Matthias Maurer, wie lebt es sich im All? “Er hielt Astronauten für Superhelden, dann flog er selbst zur ISS. Im Podcast spricht er über die Angst vor dem ersten Weltraumspaziergang und Essenslieferungen ins All.” Podcast vom 18. Juli 2024, 9 Stunden und 46 Minuten. Und keine einzige Sekunde langweilig!
Das war eine der besten, wenn nicht die beste Folge dieses Podcasts. Häufig erwähnt wurde die ähnlich interessante Folge, nämlich Thomas Zurbuchen, wann findet die Nasa Leben im Weltall? vom 2. August 2022 (“nur” 5 Stunden 2 Minuten lang).
Cosmic Kiss war übrigens der Name seiner Mission zur ISS vom November 2021 bis zum Mai 2022.
Smarter Every Day: I Accidentally Photographed Something Unknown During the Eclipse. (YouTube, 23:40min)
I’m already looking forward to finding out if someone is able to identify the satellites.
Here’s the earlier video which he did in preparation for the eclipse: April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Here’s what you need to know. (YouTube, 22:55min) It includes a lot of information about things you can observe during the partial phases, like how shadows change or why small clouds will disappear.
There’s more information and a link to the eclipse app at Destin’s website: Smarter Every Day – Eclipse.
I haven’t experienced a total solar eclipse, only a few partial ones, but I hope to be able to see one in the future.
Smarter Every Day: I Swam at NASA’s NBL to Observe a Lunar Spacesuit Test – It was AMAZING. (YouTube, 1 hour 18 minutes)
“This was an incredible opportunity. I decided to go all in and discuss everything in detail.”
This is quite a bit longer than Destin’s videos usually are, but worth every second. Fascinating!
Have you ever heard of Nitinol? That is what NASA uses to build wheels for other planets.
Veritasium: How NASA reinvented the wheel. (YouTube, 25:33min) “NASA have made a wheel capable of withstanding tough Martian terrain, but just how indestructible is it?”
The material can also be used to make bullet-proof bike tires. No more punctures!
