Spoiler alert: The NASA success secret is..... the collaboration of extraordinary men and women of huge intelligence, drive, creativity and persuasiveness.
What a conversation @Fraser Cain, I really appreciate this one! So many concrete and diverse subjects. I appreciate this type of interview so much. Sometimes they are very theoretical, but Dr. Zurbuchen covers many interesting facts and points. I particularly like the subject of aid to farmers and of course the Parkson probe. Great interview!
Excellent and inspiring interview, Fraser, especially in the present circumstances where we are plagued by corrupt and incompetent companies and governments who have no really coherent vision nor strategy- NASA appears a rare beacon of the hope that Dr Zurburchen talks about, perhaps one of the core secrets of their success. Thank you.
thank you very much for this beautiful talk @fraser . i haven't seen it yet, but just on my way of doing it. thx @ThomasZurbuchen as well.... for your time.. and all these /brain/tiggling/information
That interstellar probe would be quite visionary indeed. Perhaps there is little need for it but it would be amazing if we had a modern probe with colossal ion thrusters and a small nuclear reactor and keep it firing for years on end to achieve insane +1000km/s velocities.
The folks who do the actual space, science and engineering stuff at NASA are *_absolutely amazing!_* The people involved with education and communicating with the public, however, not so much. It's almost as if they're completely preoccupied with a bunch of unrelated goals and priorities.
@@brucehansensc Indeed, but it's a real shame because SO MUCH amazing stuff goes on at NASA all the time and about all most people ever get to see of it is little bite-sized chunks of dumbed-down, superficial drivel aimed at children and idiots.
It's reported as such because NASA is the lead agency and paid $8.8 billion of the project's $9.7 billion lifetime cost. NASA, U.S. labs, U.S. universities, U.S. scientists, and U.S. companies developed and/or played key roles in every instrument aboard the telescope. Euclid, in comparison, is also typically reported as just ESA because ESA is the lead agency. Yet Euclid is a collaboration between ESA and the Euclid Consortium, an array of countries and thousands of international scientists, labs, universities, and companies - including key components provided by NASA, and key scientific and manufacturing expertise from a range of U.S. sources in the development of instruments, tools, algorithms, and data analysis.
@@Objectified Key roles were also played across instruments by ESA (various different countries) and CSA, even NASA says it's a collaboration but a lot of media doesn't acknowledge that. Euclid isn't comparable because it has had relatively little publicity in comparison.

I'm not Fraser (obviously), but I can try to clarify this one for you. Because I don't know how familiar you are with the concepts involved, I'm going to simplify a lot - accuracy of details ,ay suffer. 1. Actually, there /is/ sound in space, but you might not recognise it. Space is not a perfect vacuum - it's just amzingly low-pressure gas. 'Sound' is a just a pressure wave - it's the particles of whatever medium banging into each other, the momentum transferring from one to the other. As those particles get less dense (like Martian atmosphere - or space) that collision becomes more rare, and when your medium is really packed (like inside a piece of steel, say), it happens literally all the time - meaning sound travels at different speeds and efficiencies depending on medium. So...If there was a titanic explosion 100m away from your naked head in space, you might hear a muffled 'thud' just before you died of freezing suffocation. 2. The solar wind is called that because it's an actual wind. Not of the various molecule that make up air, of course, but it's still /stuff/ that's moving - and any material can tranmit pressure waves.
@@CyberiusT thanks. What would be considered the speed of a standard pressure wave in this wind of photons? What generates these pressure waves? And what solar effects could potentially make that wave go even faster than their regular speed to cause them to become supersonic?
@@YousufAhmad0The wind isn't just photons. It's also ionised hydrogen (H+ ie: protons), and He+, a few other kinds of ions, free electrons (ripped off all those ions), and a tiny amount of recombined atoms. You'd need to specify a distance from the sun to get the speed, because the pressure within it will drop as you get further out; whatever the figure is, though, I don't know how dense the wind is at any distance. :/ Sorry. As to acceleration mechanisms... Well, the sun doesn't really have many toys to play with: just gravity, magnetic fields, and temperature (which is also down to speed, from one point of view). I'm going to put a few bucks on magnetic fields, but I could be wrong.
@@CyberiusT thank you. When I heard "supersonic" I thought of a Mach cone. I wonder what that might look like in the context of solar wind. Fascinating subject.
Totally want some real tests of more propulsion systems, solar sail, nuclear radiation sails, nuclear salt water rocket's, fusion ion drive's. Some way to make more deeper space science much more achievable.
It’s always kind of a fart sniffing contest at the upper echelons of academia but honestly I want those confident and capable people leading these massive bastions of science and research. And while in a perfect world I also would like all data to be shared. That is what sets scientists apart, anyone in the world can see how you conducted an experiment, how you collected data and how you analyzed it. And in a perfect world, anyone else could recreate what you did and verify your working theory. Unfortunately, every country wants what’s best for their people and their way of life. Therefore they will keep things secret which might give them an edge and take any free data you can give them so they don’t have to pay to run the experiments. I don’t think it will ever be fully transparent
Hi Fraser, I just saw the brightest star ever for 5 mins and that just exploded in the sky but can't see any other star. Am I going crazy or did Betelgeuse just explode?
Successful. When compared to asking nobody else to do the same thing...... I was very successful at feeding four cows hamburger patties yesterday. It may have cost me $700 and another five grand because everything was running late but I certainly fed those cows one hamburger patty a piece..... I think I've made my points
@@RectalRooterthis is a very softball interview. When Dustin had a chance to talk to these people, he told them they were running into a brick wall and it was obvious that everything was going to be delayed. This interview is asking how many more strokes until climax. The cost overruns on web are actually unexcusable. And it was purposeful. They were actively handing extra money to companies like Boeing, Lockheed Martin with no rational reason why. NASA is extremely successful with what they try to do because everything they do costs 10 to 30 times what it should. Web is awesome in the science from it is awesome but for the cost we could have also had submarines under the eyes of Europa, mission sample return from Mars and actually had it returned to Earth, and more! You don't pet the rich spoiled kid on the head for having a successful business when it is the outcome of nepotism. If the kid was given a functioning business that made 100 million a year and his incompetence made it drop to 50 million a year. That does not mean that the kid has successfully run a 50 million a year business. He has lost 50 million a year. You don't give the kid praise you ask questions
Weak. Cow cannibalism was already a common commercial practice way back in the 1980's. Nothing about your hypothetical is innovative or ground-breaking. (And that lead to the outbreak of Mad Cow Disease, but that's not relevant to your hypothetical.)
We need more administrators like him ... open, visionary, fearless, thoughtful ... glad NASA had his leadership for a while.
I'm not a fan of the "big companies" idea. I think that is dangerous. Big companies are already a threat. However, consortiums of companies bound not by law but by common purpose is a better idea, pooling resources and dividing tasks. Every big problem is comprised of smaller ones.
Another 5 star interview. Could listen to Zurbuchen for hours with his fantastic insights.
Well done Fraser! Another great interview with an exceptional guest. Who wouldn't want to enrol at ETH Zürich immediately? I hope you can pick up the conversation with Dr. Zurbuchen again.
one-third of the interview and it is already the best interview so far, thanks Fraser!
Amazing conversation, thanks to both of you ❤
really enjoyed this one. kinda expected him to be pretentious considering his career, but he was very humble and curious. a real scientist mindset.
