The Small Self Effect
May 11, 2023 09:00 - 7 minutes - 10.6 MB“Awesome” is used so often these days—at least in the US—that it has almost lost its meaning.

At a minimum, media coverage about this new space age has been about Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and space tourism.

When My Boots Melted in Iceland
March 16, 2023 09:00 - 9 minutes - 13.1 MB“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only poor equipment.” You have, no doubt, heard this adage. I have lived the truth of it many, many times in my life as an explorer. One of the strangest of such experiences happened in 1974. It all started with me visiting Iceland to attend a conference in Reykjavík and ended with me hunting for a pair of sturdy hiking boots I couldn’t really afford on my shoestring budget as a starving Ph.D. student. In this episode, I discuss how I learned a lesson...

In this episode, I describe how I became the first woman to walk in space and how bias in medical reporting almost prevented all women astronau...

Surtsey Island
February 02, 2023 09:00 - 34 minutes - 46.8 MBHave you ever been curious about how islands are formed? Whenever we look at typical maps like the ones on Google or in atlases, we assume that islands are simply land masses separated by some body of water.

Some islands, like Surtsey Island, located south of Iceland, are formed by something awe-i...

Carrots vs Sticks (John's Story)

January 05, 2023 09:00 - 16 minutes - 22.6 MBOne of my favorite stories from my career as a NASA astronaut is about the night I attended a formal Air Force dinner in 1987. A fellow NASA astronaut, Joe Engle, had been invited to give a talk at the dinner but couldn’t go and suggested that I stand in for him—I did. What started as a night where I gave a talk about my career as an astronaut ended in a hilarious moment—me, wearing a baked potato.

Rejected!
November 10, 2022 09:00 - 7 minutes - 9.62 MBSomebody else got the job. You didn’t win the game. The gallery won’t show your art.
