exciting look at what's happening in


00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.350
space and astronomy we've got a packed


00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:09.990
show covering some fascinating


00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.749
developments across the space industry


00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.549
and Beyond coming up we'll dive into


00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:16.950
Boeing's ongoing challenges with their


00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.510
Starliner spacecraft program where the


00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:21.390
company is facing some significant


00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:23.990
financial hurdles we'll also explore an


00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.589
incredibly busy week in space launches


00:00:26.599 --> 00:00:29.310
with multiple missions from SpaceX blue


00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.470
origin and rocket lab taking to the


00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.910
skies plus we'll look at some


00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.470
groundbreaking research that's


00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:37.630
challenging what we know about planetary


00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.069
formation examine the latest efforts in


00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:41.590
the search for extraterrestrial


00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.510
intelligence and discuss growing


00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.709
concerns about space debris there's a


00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:47.990
lot to cover today so let's Jump Right


00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.470
In Boeing's Financial struggles with


00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:53.349
their CST 100 Starliner program have


00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.670
reached New Heights with the Aerospace


00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.270
giant reporting staggering losses of


00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.790
$523 million in 2024 alone this marks


00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:04.549
the largest single-ear loss for the


00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:07.030
commercial crew vehicle program to date


00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.230
pushing the total program losses beyond


00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:11.870
the $2 billion Mark according to


00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:14.190
Boeing's recent SEC filing these


00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.270
mounting costs stem from a combination


00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.749
of scheduled delays increased testing


00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:20.870
and certification requirements and


00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:23.270
higher expenses for post-certification


00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.270
Missions the company had already


00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.990
disclosed significant charges throughout


00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.910
the year with $125 million in the second


00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.789
second quarter and $250 million in the


00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.950
third quarter before adding another $148


00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:38.109
million loss in the final


00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:40.749
quarter the situation appears far from


00:01:40.759 --> 00:01:43.270
resolved with Boeing explicitly warning


00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.870
that additional losses might be on the


00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:48.550
horizon neither Boeing nor NASA has


00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.550
provided clear timelines for Starliner


00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.630
next flight leaving questions about


00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.270
whether the next mission will be crude


00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:55.029
or


00:01:55.039 --> 00:01:57.270

with the spacecraft however the Thruster


00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:04.830
problems that led NASA to bring the last


00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.630
test flight back uncrewed remain


00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.029
unresolved while panel members expressed


00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.070
confidence that NASA is focusing on the


00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.509
right core issues for safely flying


00:02:14.519 --> 00:02:17.270

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:29.390
minutes of lunar gravity conditions to


00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.830
test technology crucial for future Moon


00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.830
missions this is achieved through a


00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:35.710
clever method of spinning the capsule at


00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:37.910
precisely 11 revolutions per minute


00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:39.429
creating an environment that mimics the

Mission from the placet cosmodrome


00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.789
demonstrates that despite geopolitical


00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:22.230
tensions space operations continue


00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.030
across all major space fairing Nations


00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.110
these launches represent more than just


00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.350
individual missions they showcase the


00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.710
transer form of space access from a


00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.870
purely government-driven Endeavor to a


00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:36.230
dynamic commercial marketplace with


00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:37.870
multiple providers offering various


00:04:37.880 --> 00:04:40.310
launch Services we're witnessing an era


00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:42.070
where access to space has become more


00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:44.510
routine and diverse than ever


00:04:44.520 --> 00:04:46.990
before and in some not so good news


00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.550
today India's first space mission of


00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.950
2025 has encountered significant


00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:54.189
challenges highlighting the complex


00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:55.990
nature of satellite deployment


00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.749
operations the mission which marked the


00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.070
100th launch from India's historic sades


00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:03.670
dwan Space Center initially appeared to


00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.749
proceed according to plan with the


00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.430
successful liftoff of their


00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:10.150
geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle


00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.150
the spacecraft designated nvs 02 was


00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.270
intended to join India's navigation with


00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:18.790
Indian constellation Network known as


00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.150
nav this system provides crucial


00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.909
positioning navigation and timing


00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:25.029
services for India and surrounding


00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:27.550
regions similar to the GPS system we're


00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.990
all familiar with however the Mission


00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.350
hit a snag during a critical phase of


00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.469
deployment after reaching its initial


00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:36.790
transfer orbit the satellite experienced


00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.670
a valve issue that prevented it from


00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.110
firing its engines this malfunction has


00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.870
left the spacecraft stranded in an


00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.110
elliptical transfer orbit rather than


00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:46.870
reaching its intended position in


00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:50.309
geostationary orbit approximately


00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.749
22236 Mi above earth's equator the


00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.790
Indian space research organization isn't


00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.950
giving up on the mission just yet


00:05:57.960 --> 00:05:59.670
Engineers are currently exploring


00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.870
alternative Solutions including the


00:06:01.880 --> 00:06:03.710
possibility of using the satellite's


00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.110
smaller attitude control thrusters to


00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.469
gradually raise its orbit while these


00:06:08.479 --> 00:06:10.150
thrusters weren't designed for major


00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.550
orbital adjustments they might provide


00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.790
enough thrust to prevent the satellite


00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.749
from eventually falling back to Earth


00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.589
due to atmospheric drag despite this


00:06:19.599 --> 00:06:22.430
setback ISO reports that the satellites


00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:25.469
other systems remain healthy and they're


00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:27.589
actively working on developing alternate


00:06:27.599 --> 00:06:29.909
Mission strategies that could still


00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:31.790
allow the spacecraft to provide


00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.550
navigation Services albeit from its


00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.110
current elliptical orbit this situation


00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:38.909
demonstrates both the challenges of


00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:41.430
space operations and the Ingenuity


00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:43.870
required to adapt when things don't go


00:06:43.880 --> 00:06:46.950
as planned in a remarkable demonstration


00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:48.350
of our ongoing search for


00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.909
extraterrestrial intelligence scientists


00:06:50.919 --> 00:06:52.430
have recently completed one of the


00:06:52.440 --> 00:06:55.550
largest setti experiments ever conducted


00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.670
examining data from nearly 1 million

commensal open- Source multimode


00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:07.589
interferometer cluster researchers have


00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:09.950
pushed the boundaries of our search


00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:12.110
capabilities working in conjunction with


00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.909
the Carl G jansky very large array


00:07:14.919 --> 00:07:17.710
Cosmic processes an enormous amount of


00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.150
astronomical data specifically looking


00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.749
for signals that might indicate


00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.350
artificial radio emissions from distant


00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.710
civilizations the system's sophisticated


00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.550
algorithms are designed to identify


00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.869
narrow band signal that change frequency


00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.950
over time due to the Doppler effect


00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:35.629
characteristics we'd expect to see in


00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.990
artificial Transmissions from Advanced


00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.950
civilizations while the search through


00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:42.909
these 950,000 objects hasn't detected


00:07:42.919 --> 00:07:45.110
any clear signs of extraterrestrial


00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.469
intelligence it represents a significant


00:07:47.479 --> 00:07:49.629
milestone in our systematic exploration


00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.189
of the cosmos the Project's real


00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:53.869
achievement lies in demonstrating the


00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:55.469
effectiveness of new automated


00:07:55.479 --> 00:07:57.589
processing systems that can handle the

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.110
astronomical observations essentially


00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.029
piggybacking on existing research to


00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:11.670
conduct its steady analysis this


00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:13.710
approach maximizes the efficiency of our


00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.149
search efforts while making use of every


00:08:16.159 --> 00:08:19.149
available moment of telescope time in a


00:08:19.159 --> 00:08:20.749
rigorous test of the system's


00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.990
capabilities researchers focused on a


00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.070
subset of 511 stars from the Gaia


00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:28.830
catalog during a 30-minute observation


00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:30.309
window


00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.230
though no potential techno signatures


00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.990
were identified this test proved the


00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.230
viability of cosmic rapid filtering


00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.909
mechanism Paving the way for even faster


00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.550
and more automated searches in the


00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:43.790
future this project marks an important


00:08:43.800 --> 00:08:45.550
step forward in our quest to answer one


00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:48.110
of Humanity's most profound questions


00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.590
are we alone in the universe while we


00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.509
haven't found anyone out there yet we're


00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.110
now better equipped than ever to


00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.509
continue the search processing more data


00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.269
from more potential sources than ever


00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.590
before possible


00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:01.990
we seem to have talked about this


00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.190
problem a lot now it's getting serious


00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.430
the growing issue of space debris poses


00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:09.509
an increasingly significant risk to


00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.949
Aviation safety with new research


00:09:11.959 --> 00:09:13.670
highlighting the concerning intersection


00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:15.870
between falling space objects and


00:09:15.880 --> 00:09:18.590
aircraft operations a recent study


00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.509
published in scientific reports reveals


00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.949
that there is a 26% annual chance of


00:09:22.959 --> 00:09:24.949
uncontrolled space debris re-entering


00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:27.269
Earth's atmosphere over busy airspaces


00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.470
like northern Europe or the northeastern


00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.350
United States this risk was dramatically


00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.230
Illustrated during spacex's recent


00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.430
Starship test flight where the Federal


00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:38.430
Aviation Administration had to activate


00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.030
a debris response area and adjust flight


00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:42.790
patterns to protect aircraft from


00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:45.470
potential falling debris several planes


00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.949
were forced to divert due to fuel


00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:48.470
concerns while holding outside the


00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.150
impacted areas the challenge is becoming


00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:53.150
more complex due to two converging


00:09:53.160 --> 00:09:55.310
factors the increasing frequency of


00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:57.509
space debris re-entries and the growing


00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.910
volume of Airline traffic National


00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:01.870
authorities now face a difficult choice


00:10:01.880 --> 00:10:04.310
between closing airspace during re-entry


00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.310
events which carries significant


00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.110
economic and logistical consequences or


00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.269
accepting the small but potentially


00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.230
catastrophic risk of collision making


00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.430
matters more challenging over 2,300


00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.990
rocket bodies currently orbit Earth all


00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.790
of which will eventually re-enter our


00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:24.430
atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner


00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.990
while the probability of an aircraft


00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.269
strike remains relatively low the


00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.110
potential consequences could be


00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.430
devastating the situation creates a


00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.470
complex dilemma for Aviation authorities


00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.590
who must balance safety concerns against


00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.069
economic impacts while controlled


00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:42.110
re-entries into ocean areas could help


00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.790
mitigate these risks for future missions


00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:46.870
the existing debris in orbit means this


00:10:46.880 --> 00:10:48.790
challenge will persist for decades to


00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:51.350
come this growing problem underscores


00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.190
the urgent need for better Space Traffic


00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.550
management and more controlled disposal


00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:57.230
methods for space


00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.710
Hardware in a fascinating devel vment


00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.310
that's challenging our understanding of


00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.069
planetary formation astronomers studying


00:11:04.079 --> 00:11:06.949
the ultra hot Jupiter wasp


00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:09.430
121b have made some unexpected


00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.190
discoveries about this extraordinary


00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.949
world located about 858 light years from


00:11:14.959 --> 00:11:17.509
Earth this peculiar planet has earned


00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.150
the nickname roasting marshmallow due to


00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:22.269
its extreme temperatures and puffy


00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.030
appearance wasp 121b is truly a


00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:28.430
remarkable object while it only has


00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.230
about 1.2 two times the mass of Jupiter


00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.310
it's actually nearly twice as wide


00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:34.910
making it one of the puffiest planets


00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:36.949
we've ever discovered it orbits


00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:39.190
Incredibly Close to its star completing


00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.230
a full circuit in just 1.3 Earth days


00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.870
and is tidy locked meaning one side


00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:46.990
perpetually faces its star while the


00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.350
other remains in


00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.670
darkness the dayite of this world is


00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:52.870
almost unimaginably hot reaching


00:11:52.880 --> 00:11:56.910
temperatures of around 4,500 de F that's


00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:59.030
hot enough to vaporize Metals which then


00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:02.470
get caught in powerful 11,000 mph winds


00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.069
that carry them to the cooler night side


00:12:05.079 --> 00:12:07.190
there these Metals cool and fall as


00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.230
exotic rain not water drops but liquid


00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.189
metal Ruby and


00:12:12.199 --> 00:12:14.230
Sapphire but here's where things get


00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.430
really interesting using the Gemini


00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.870
South telescope's igin instrument


00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:20.509
researchers have found evidence


00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.790
suggesting that wasp


00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:25.550
121b may have actually formed very close


00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:28.310
to its star contrary to our traditional


00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.990
understanding of how gast Giants develop


00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.389
the planet's unusually high Rock to ice


00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.430
ratio indicates it accumulated a


00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:36.990
substantial amount of Rocky material


00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.829
during its formation something that


00:12:38.839 --> 00:12:40.829
should only happen in the hotter regions


00:12:40.839 --> 00:12:43.389
close to a star this discovery


00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:44.870
challenges our current models of


00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:47.310
planetary formation which suggests that


00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.069
gas giants need solid IES to form and


00:12:50.079 --> 00:12:51.829
typically develop much further out from


00:12:51.839 --> 00:12:55.389
their Stars before migrating inward the


00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.069
research team is now planning to study


00:12:57.079 --> 00:12:59.470
more Ultra hot Jupiters to determine if


00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:03.069
wasp 121b is a unique case or if we need


00:13:03.079 --> 00:13:04.870
to fundamentally revise our


00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:06.030
understanding of how these extreme


00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:08.189
worlds come to


00:13:08.199 --> 00:13:10.790
