Five ‘Martian’ miscues to fix in space flicks
by Alan Boyle on May 25, 2018 at 4:45 pm
LOS ANGELES — Planetary scientist Pascal Lee could give astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson a good run for his money when it comes to truth-squadding movie depictions of space missions. For almost two decades, Lee has been working on the tools and techniques that will be needed for future Mars expeditions, as the leader of the Haughton-Mars Project on Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic. The project, funded by NASA, the SETI Institute and other institutions, provides an earthy analog to the Red Planet’s bleak, cold, dry, isolated environment. Astronauts could conceivably set up shop on Mars sometime in the next decade or two, and there could be a crewed base on the moon even before that. So Lee says it’s high time for Hollywood to provide a more accurate picture of how such missions would work. “We actually have not captured the look of a mission yet,” he told me today at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles.

It’s the unofficial kickoff of summer and just about everyone uses this week to relax a bit, and, after the end of the ISDC 2018 conference later today, there is only one U.S. space policy event on our calendar this week: a 1-hour telecon meeting of NASA’s Earth Science Advisory Committee on Tuesday.

The summer of small launchers
by Jeff Foust
Tuesday, May 29, 2018
If this upcoming launch is a success, Rocket Lab plans to increase the cadence of future missions. The next launch is one for NASA’s Venture Class Launch Services program, carrying a collection of cubesats for the agency’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellites, or ELaNa, imitative. That launch will be “pretty close on the heels” of June’s launch, although the company hasn’t set a date. The company expects to ramp up its launch cadence for the rest of the year. “We should come out of 2018 with eight or nine launches,” said Brad Schneider, executive vice president of the company, in a presentation at the International Space Development Conference (ISDC) in Los Angeles on Friday. “Double that in 2019.”

Broadcast 3117 Special Program: Aggie Kobrin & Dave Dressler on ISDC 2018
17 May 2018 Aggie Kobrin, Dave Dressler
We welcomed both Aggie Kobrin and Dave Dressler for this special Thursday evening program focused on ISDC 2018. We started our one segment 62 minute with Dave introducing us to this year’s program including featuring Tom Mueller who is the key SpaceX rocket scientist behind the Merlin and Raptor engines. Also, Jeff Bezos as a special Friday dinner speaker. Please visit the ISDC website at http://isdc2018.nss.org to learn more about the event, make your conference and hotel reservations and to follow along with tonight’s discussion. Aggie and Dave talked about other key features of this year’s ISDC event. They told us about the special SSP program on Wednesday before the official start of ISDC but also later in the actual conference. In addition, they brought our attention to the Thursday program “Living in Space” with several doctors specializing in life support and the mitigation of human factor challenges for long duration spaceflight and settlement. For the balance of the ISDC event, the name of this sessions change to space settlement. Another key feature we learned about was the program with the head of the NASA Advanced Concepts (NIAC) on Sunday.

Could Space Aliens Speak Our Languages?
By Michael Walsh May 27, 2018
“To put it whimsically, the Martian language might not be so different from human language after all,” explained Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Watumull in a presentation at the International Space Development Conference (ISDC) in Los Angeles on Saturday. Chomsky is a noted author on both linguistics and global politics and is often referred to as the “father of modern linguistics” who pioneered the notion of a universal grammar. “Chomsky has often said that if a Martian visited Earth, it would think we all speak dialects of the same language, because all terrestrial languages share a common underlying structure,” said Douglas Vakoch, president of METI (short for Messaging Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence), which organized a daylong Language in the Cosmos workshop at ISDC. “But if aliens have language, would it be similar to ours? That’s the big question.”
