Can the Dr. Buzz Aldrin cycler become reality? Can we really get to Mars in 100 days? These questions and more are explored with Professors Andy Aldrin, Embry-Riddle University and Brian Kaplinger, University of Kansas.
Recently, Rhonda Stevenson, President and CEO of Above: Space Development Corporation, suggested that I talk with Andre Bormanis and Dan Hawk as part of this blogging series. What a delightful conversation it was! Andre is a member of OAC’s Board of Advisors and is a science consultant for the Star Trek inspired show, The Orville. Dan was featured in a previous blog that I wrote, called “A Seat at the Table.” He is a member of the Oneida Nation, part of the Iroquois Confederacy, and founder of the United First Nations Planetary Defense.
Industry thought leaders discuss, how do we make space available for everyone? Featuring Oroville science advisor André Bormanis, “October Sky” protagonist, Homer Hickam, Dan Hawk, Jared Angaza, and Dr. Shawna Pandya.
Future space habitats may offer hybrid, variable gravity environments to accommodate both human and commercial needs. Researchers have assembled what may be the first exhaustive literature review of artificial gravity opportunities, challenges, and potential impact on humans in space, sponsored by ABOVE.
Dr. Ronke Olabisi, UC Irvine professor, discusses her recent report “Challenges and Benefits to Human Operations in Variable & Partial Gravity Earth Orbiting Habitats”, the impacts of artificial gravity on long duration spaceflight, biomedical engineering in Space and on Earth, and how tissue engineering takes inspiration from ancient Mayan technology.
