SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 30 The Astronomy, Space and Science News Podcast Earth's Jessica Cycles, Starship's Latest Failure, and Lunar Landings in Trouble In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore a groundbreaking discovery linking Earth's ice age cycles to its orbital shifts. Recent research indicates a predictable pattern for glacial and interglacial periods, suggesting the onset of the next ice age could occur in approximately 10,000 years. This insight stems from a million-year climate record that matches changes in Earth's orbit with significant climate shifts. Starship's Crash and Burn We also discuss the latest mishap involving SpaceX's Starship, which experienced a dramatic failure just seconds before achieving orbit. The test flight ended in a spectacular explosion over the Caribbean, prompting multiple investigations into the incident. This marks the second consecutive failure for SpaceX's ambitious rocket program, raising concerns about its future, particularly in relation to NASA's Artemis lunar missions. New Developments on the Moon Additionally, we report on the recent successful landing of Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander on the lunar surface, marking a milestone in commercial lunar exploration. However, not all lunar missions are faring well, as Intuitive Machines' IM2 lander appears to have landed on its side, echoing past failures. Meanwhile, NASA's Lunar Trailblazer has lost communication, raising further concerns about its operational status. 00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 30 for broadcast on 10 March 2025 00:49 Linking Earth's ice age cycles to orbital shifts 06:30 Predicting the next ice age 12:15 Overview of SpaceX's Starship crash 18:00 Implications for NASA's Artemis program 22:45 Successful landing of Blue Ghost on the Moon 27:00 Challenges faced by IM2 and Lunar Trailblazer missions 30:15 Study on vaping and smoking cessation www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (https://www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com/) www.bitesz.com (https://www.bitesz.com/) 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn (https://www.bitesz.com/nordvpn) .
