Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Why Space Needs Nuclear Now 41:21

for 7 dager siden41:21

41:21

In this week's episode of Space Minds, Bhavya Lal, the former acting Chief Technologist at NASA explains how nuclear power could unlock humanity's next giant leap in space.Our interview with Bhavya Lal, a prominent voice in space policy, delves deeply into the conversation around nuclear power in space. It begins with a historical overview, citing projects like Orion and NERVA from the 1950s and 60s that envisioned nuclear propulsion for interplanetary missions. Lal underscores how nuclear space exploration has long been discussed but has struggled to gain sustained investment and progress, often stalling due to overambitious goals, lack of demand, cultural fears, and infrastructure gaps.A key part of the discussion centers on the immense energy density of nuclear power compared to conventional methods, which makes it especially valuable for long-duration space missions, such as to Mars or beyond. Lal emphasizes that solar power becomes increasingly inefficient the farther we venture from the Sun, making nuclear energy essential for propulsion, habitats, and industrial activities in deep space. She also highlights how countries like Russia have already launched several nuclear reactors for space use, motivated by strategic military needs.From a geopolitical perspective, Lal stresses the need for the U.S. to treat nuclear space power as a strategic priority, noting how rivals like China are integrating fission reactors into their lunar base plans. She calls for a "crawl, walk, run" approach to developing robust space nuclear infrastructure, beginning with small-scale tests in Earth orbit and scaling up.Our interview ends on a personal note, with Lal recounting her childhood inspiration from the 1969 moon landing and her father’s influence. She discusses the emotional and inspirational power of space exploration, especially in motivating youth to pursue STEM, and reflects on how her passion for preserving humanity ultimately brought her back to a career in space policy.…

Fear, Greed and Glory With Lori Garver 36:18

for 14 dager siden36:18

36:18

In this week's episode of Space Minds, Lori Garver, former NASA Deputy Administrator sits down with host David Ariosto. Garver describes what drives spaceflight-and what that means for the agency's shifting priorities. In this conversation Garver delves into the evolving landscape of U.S. space policy, particularly against the backdrop of political dynamics, commercialization, and shifting priorities within NASA. Garver reflects on the continuity and changes in NASA’s approach, highlighting enduring issues such as the politically driven support for the Space Launch System (SLS) and the broader implications of increased partisanship. Garver also critiques the sustainability of current lunar missions and expresses concern about potential budget cuts, particularly in space and Earth sciences, as NASA shifts focus toward Mars exploration and commercial low Earth orbit (LEO) initiatives. Garver notes the influence of billionaires on the space economy, which has reshaped priorities and expectations, often at odds with traditional governmental roles. And to wrap up, Garver emphasized the need for strategic clarity, especially in the context of geopolitical competition with China and uncertainties brought by trade policies and tariffs. Ultimately, she underscores the complexity of aligning national space goals with constrained budgets and commercial interests, warning that without clear direction and support, NASA could face significant challenges in executing its long-term vision.

38:17

In this week's episode of Space Minds, Bill Nye, CEO of the Planetary Society sits down with host David Ariosto. The conversation starts with Bill's journey but quickly pivots to the proposed science budget cuts at NASA.In this conversation, Bill Nye reflects on the current state of space exploration, describing it as the most exciting period since the Apollo era due to the surge in rocket launches, commercial space ventures, and ambitious scientific missions. He emphasizes the importance of NASA focusing on extraordinary, non-commercial tasks such as exploring Mars, Europa, and Venus, while leaving routine operations in low Earth orbit to private companies. Nye voices strong opposition to proposed budget cuts to NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, arguing that such reductions undermine essential scientific progress and public interest in space exploration. He also critiques the idea of colonizing Mars, noting the planet’s extreme hostility and drawing parallels to the inhospitable nature of Antarctica.The conversation delves into the philosophical implications of discovering extraterrestrial life, which Nye believes would profoundly shift humanity's understanding of its place in the universe. He warns against prematurely contaminating potential Martian habitats with human bacteria, advocating for cautious and deliberate exploration. Beyond space science, Nye addresses the challenges of modern science communication and the divide between scientifically literate and disengaged populations. He highlights the need to inspire younger generations to pursue STEM fields. Nye concludes by underscoring the need for strong leadership at NASA to maintain U.S. prominence in space and support ongoing missions.…
