#ThinkwingRadio: SEPTEMBER 17, 2014, 10PM, @KPFT-FM 90.1 (Houston). GUESTS: YOU! (Open Forum); TOPIC(s): Elections Upcoming, “The Fifth Season”, What ‘THEY’ Understand, Monoculture, #100YSS

SHOW AUDIO: kpft_2014-09-17_2200 CULTURE & DISCIPLINE, ELECTION INFO, DONALD HONIG’S PHOTO, THEY UNDERSTAND, BANANAS

[NOTE: This show was a total surprise to me and shows how live talk can sometimes become soothing other than what the host expected. I was expecting talk of elections, right-wing politics and liberal protests, my search for a baseball photo, maybe the 100 Year Star Ship Symposium, and the environmental risks of Agribusiness’s love affair with monoculture and the end of bananas as we know them. Instead, it turned into a discussion of Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, discipline vs. abuse/assault, and the connections of those things to race, culture, and history. It was a fascinating discussion which provoked a lot of thought and some future research. – Mike]

100YSS Symposium Logo

This weekend (Sept 19-22, 2013) Houston will be hosting this year’s 100 Year Star Ship (100YSS) Symposium. Anyone who is interested may attend. To discuss it, my tentatively scheduled guests are former NASA astronaut and founder of the 100YSS, Dr. Mae Jemison, along with Dr. Karl Aspelund. Dr. Aspelund is a textile professor who won a grant to research recyclable sustainable clothing such as might be needed on a 30-year space mission where water and clothing are limited (Yes, the Final Frontier includes laundry); And Mae Jemison, first woman of color in space, doctor, astronaut, and leader of 100 Year Starship.

The 100 Year Star Ship is not science fiction. It’s an initiative of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency; the folks who helped create the internet). It’s a serious concept supported by ongoing research and funding in various sciences, technologies and disciplines. The goal is to develop the knowledge and capabilities necessary to launch an interstellar-capable vessel within 100 years. You can see some of the research tracks being explored, here: http://symposium.100yss.org/technical-tracks Continue reading
