Guests: Dr. Mario Pinheiro; Greg Meholic. Topics:" Advanced propulsion ideas and theories. Greg Meholic was the co-host with me for this special program featuring Dr. Mario Pinheiro from Portugal to talk about his plasma physics and fluidic space time research that may have applications for advanced space propulsion. In our first segment, Greg and Dr. Pinheiro provided us with background information on plasma physics, fluids, space time and Maxwell equations. As you will hear, Dr.

Guests: First Hour: Dr. Klaus Dannenberg, John Karas, Jeff Hamstra; Second Hour: Open Lines: Topics: propulsion, breakthrough propulsion, NASA, AIAA, Open Lines, Space Show guests, bone loss, microgravity, acceleration, NASA. The first hour of this two hour program was dedicated to discussing the coming AIAA Joint Propulsion Conference which will be in Denver, Colorado at the Colorado Convention Center from August 3-5, 2009.

Guest: Dr. Michael Brooks, author of "13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Baffling Scientific Mysteries Of Our Time," was the guest for this Space Show program. We started our discussion with Dr. Brooks regarding the things he talks about in his book, focusing in on dark matter, the placebo effect, the WOW signal, cold fusion, Pioneer 1 & 2, Viking, homeopathy, and free will. Listeners asked many questions about these issues and we explored each of them in some detail.

Guest: Dr. Donald Rapp was the guest for this Friday Space Show program. Dr. Rapp authored two new books, both of which were discussed on this program. During the first three-quarters of the show, we discussed his book, "Human Missions To Mars," and what it will take for humans to go to Mars. For the remaining part of the program, we discussed his book, "Assessing Climate Change," and here we facilitated an important discussion about the science behind climate change and global warming. Some listeners may find this to be a controversial show regarding both topics, so please be advised.

The Space Show Deep Space Message for this month was submitted by the Senior Writer at Space.com, Leonard David and his wife Barbara. Here is the text of their message: Hello to out there…from over here. We don’t speak your language, so you may think that this message is more chirp than chatter from our little niche in the Great Universe. But if you do decipher this communiqué, we’re broadcasting from a small planet close to a neighboring star – a world of mostly water that we call Earth. Go figure.
