3.  This Week on The Space Show

FOUR PROGRAMS THIS WEEK

All archived programs at www.thespaceshow.com contain a short program synopsis as well as biographical information about the guest. More recent shows feature a key word search program.

1.  The Monday, February 8, 2010 , 2-3:30 PM PST program welcomes back Robert

Zimmerman to discuss the new proposed space policy as part of the 2011 U.S.

budget.  Robert Zimmerman is a well known and respected space historian and author. 

He also wrote a weekly UPI column which can be found by doing a Google for

"Zimmerman bibliography" and click on "A Zimmerman Bibliography".    Mr. Zimmerman

is also an award winning author.  His new book is now out, “THE UNIVERSE IN A

MIRROR: THE SAGA OF THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE AND THE

VISIONARIES WHO BUILT IT” is published by Princeton University Press. The book

tells the poignant tale of the men and women behind the telescope, and how many had to

sacrifice careers and family to get it built. It also describes in detail the importance of

Hubble both scientifically and culturally. More than any other instrument sent into space,

the Hubble Space Telescope reshaped the human perception of our place in the universe. 

Robert’s book “LEAVING EARTH: Space Stations, Rival Superpower, and the Quest

for Interplanetary Travel” is a must read!  His work is published regularly in such

magazines as ASTRONOMY, THE SCIENCES, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL,

INVENTION & TECHNOLOGY, FORTUNE, AD ASTRA, AMERICAN HISTORY,

STARDATE, and many other major magazines. In 2000 he was co-winner of the David

N. Schramm Award, given by the High Energy Astrophysics Division of the American

Astronomical Society for Science Journalism.  Before writing his newest book, 

LEAVING EARTH, Mr. Zimmerman authored two books, GENESIS, THE STORY OF

APOLLO 8, published by Four Walls Eight Windows in 1998, describes the family and

political tale behind the first human journey to another world and THE

CHRONOLOGICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DISCOVERIES IN SPACE (published

by Oryx Press, now Greenword Publishing Group 2000).  This is a detailed reference

book describing what was accomplished on every space mission beginning in October

1957 with Sputnik and continuing through December 1999.  Mr. Zimmerman also won an

Emmy Award for the best space history for the general public by the American

Astronautical Society awarded on Nov. 16, 2004.  Listeners can talk to Bob Zimmerman

Program is The Space Show Classroom program on the rocket equation.  Our guest

panelist is Paul Breed of Unreasonable Rockets.  Our co-hosts, Dr. Jim Logan and

Paul T. Breed's company is Unreasonable Rockets ( see

http://unreasonablerocket.blogspot.com).   Paul T Breed grew up in Alaska where

his father ran a bush airline. He learned to fix and build things at a young age out of

necessity. He has an engineering degree from Harvey Mudd college and has been

working as an embedded systems engineer for 25 years.  He has been working with

his son, Paul A. Breed, 21, building a rocket for the Lunar Lander Competition. 

95% of the work for Unreasonable Rockets is by this father and son team.

 

Dr. Jim Logan has held numerous positions at NASA’s Johnson Space Center since

1981 including Chief, Flight Medicine; Chief, Medical Operations, Chief, Medical

Informatics & Health Care Systems and Group Manager, Human Test Support.

Board certified in Aerospace Medicine, he served as Mission Control Surgeon,

Deputy Crew Surgeon or Crew Surgeon for twenty-five space shuttle missions and

was the only medical representative to serve on the NASA Headquarters-chartered

Space Station Operations Task Force. As Project Manager for the Space Station

Medical Facility he helped design the first telemedicine-based inflight medical care

delivery system for long duration missions. Dr. Logan is a past Provost of

International Space University, consultant for The RAND Corporation and a

founding board member of the American Telemedicine Association. Recipient of

NASA’s Distinguished Speaker Award, his speaking activities have taken him to

Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, Iceland, Russia,

Argentina, Costa Rica, Guam, South Korea, New Zealand and the Peoples Republic

Dr. John Jurist was simultaneously a physicist and a medical researcher before becoming

involved in business. He has degrees in biophysics and nuclear medicine earned while he

was at the UCLA School of Medicine. Dr. Jurist has held faculty positions at the

University of Wisconsin (Madison) in the Division of Orthopedic Surgery and in the

Space Science and Engineering Center. In the former, he studied human factors in space

flight during Apollo and what was then called Apollo Applications. In the latter during

the early 1970s, he was team leader of the group that transmitted the first medical

imaging over communications satellite links in the precursor of what is now called

telemedicine. In the business arena, he created, grew, and ran a very successful

biomedical engineering consulting firm, took over a surgical care facility with instructions

from the board to prepare it for bankruptcy, and within a year, converted it into a

successful operation. He also founded a nonprofit medical research institution and ran it

for four years — it now has an eight figure annual research budget. Dr. Jurist is

experienced in running a business and evaluating a business plan. Now semi-retired, he is

applying his experience to the developing new space industry. He has invested in several

alt.space startups, supported research in others by corporate grants, and funded research

projects at Montana State University and at Santa Clara University. Dr. Jurist is currently

a Life Member of the Aerospace Medical Association, a Life Member of the International

Association of Military Flight Surgeon Pilots, and a Fellow of the Gerontological Society

among other professional organizations. He is presently an Adjunct Professor of Space
