    The Recent Glitch Threatening Voyager 1

    The Recent Glitch Threatening Voyager 1
    The Voyager 1 space probe is the farthest human-made object in space. It launched in 1977 with a golden record on board that carried assorted sounds of our home planet: greetings in many different languages, dogs barking, and the sound of two people kissing, to name but a few examples. The idea with this record was that someday, Voyager 1 might be our emissary to alien life – an audible time capsule of Earth's beings. Since its launch, it also managed to complete missions to Jupiter and Saturn. In 2012, it crossed into interstellar space.

    But a few months ago, the probe encountered a problem. "It's an elderly spacecraft," says NPR science correspondent Nell Greenfieldboyce, "and it had some kind of electronic stroke." Greenfieldboyce talks to Short Wave Host Regina G. Barber about the precarious status of Voyager 1 – the glitch threatening its mission, and the increasingly risky measures NASA is taking to try and restore it.

    Are We Alone In The Universe?

    Are We Alone In The Universe?
    Are we alone in the universe?

    It's a question that's been posed again and again. Carl Sagan posed it in the 1970s as a NASA mission scientist as the agency prepared to send its twin Viking landers to Mars.

    And nearly 50 years after the first of two landers touched down on Mars, we're no closer to an answer as to whether there's life — out there.

    Scientists haven't stopped looking. In fact, they've expanded their gaze to places like Saturn's largest moon, Titan and Jupiter's moon Europa.

    The search for life beyond planet earth continues to captivate. And NASA has upcoming missions to both moons. Could we be closer to answering that question Carl Sagan asked some 50 years ago?

    The Intelligence: I’m your private lander, a lander for money

    The Intelligence: I’m your private lander, a lander for money

    If it succeeds—and that is no sure thing—this week’s soft landing of Odysseus will be the first by a private firm. We examine the prospects and the business models of the Moon rush. Our producer visits Ukraine to mark the anniversary of a revolution that helped to shape today’s conflict (11:22). And the rise and coming fall in entertaining British obituaries (21:25).

    The Curious Mr. Feynman

    The Curious Mr. Feynman

    From the Manhattan Project to the Challenger investigation, the physicist Richard Feynman loved to shoot down what he called “lousy ideas.” Today, the world is awash in lousy ideas — so maybe it’s time to get some more Feynman in our lives? (Part one of a three-part series.)

    Special Delivery from Outer Space

    Special Delivery from Outer Space
    On September 24, 2023, a capsule from space parachuted down into the Utah desert. Tucked inside it were 4.5-billion-year-old bits of rock and dust from a faraway asteroid named Bennu collected by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. These pristine space rocks, which contain carbon and other building blocks of life, could rewrite scientists’ understanding of our solar system. In this episode, sit in mission control and ride aboard helicopters with asteroid mission leaders like Dante Lauretta and Mike Moreau for a behind-the-scenes look at the OSIRIS-REx sample return mission’s epic conclusion.

    Welcome to the Dark Side

    Welcome to the Dark Side
    Normal matter—the kind that makes up our home planet and everything we can see—adds up to just five percent of the known universe. The other 95 percent is dark matter and dark energy, a tag team that ranks among the biggest mysteries in all of science. NASA astrophysicists Jason Rhodes and Ami Choi explain how we study this dark side and why it’s making scientists reconsider what we think we know about the universe.

    Osiris-REx and the quest to understand the solar system's origin

    Osiris-REx and the quest to understand the solar system's origin
    In 2016, NASA launched a spacecraft to do something rarely attempted before: Collect space rocks from a potentially dangerous asteroid. The mission, named OSIRIS-REx, was successful. Tuesday, scientists opened a sealed canister containing the samples from the asteroid Bennu. Science correspondent Nell Greenfieledboyce talks to host Regina G. Barber about the mission's close calls and what NASA might learn from these space rocks that are older than our planet.

    Astronaut Fashion Is Changing. This Is Not Your Grandpa’s Spacesuit

    Astronaut Fashion Is Changing. This Is Not Your Grandpa’s Spacesuit
    For the first time in decades, NASA is planning to send astronauts back to the moon. Their spacesuits will be very different from what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore when they walked the lunar surface in 1969. Spacesuits today are thinner and lighter, while still making sure astronauts can complete tasks and stay alive. In this conversation from the Future of Everything festival in May, WSJ’s Danny Lewis speaks to Amy Ross, one of NASA’s top spacesuit engineers. She explains how the lessons learned from designing next-generation moon suits will eventually help astronauts explore Mars, while leading to other innovations here on Earth.

    548: Secret Space UFOs: Fastwalkers

    548: Secret Space UFOs: Fastwalkers
    In Episode 548: Secret Space UFOs: Fastwalkers we are joined by filmmaker Darcy Weir to talk about his latest project exposing the UFO coverup. NASA and governments around the world have been covering up UFO phenomena for decades. They haven't been just hiding the sightings in our sky and landings on our land but they have been keeping quiet about the close encounters they have been having outside of our atmosphere in space. Darcy shines a light on these "fastwalkers" and how it is irrefutable that these organizations have been keeping quiet one of the greatest mysteries of human history.
