SCIENCE: An interstellar object Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

This week on science from Fueled By Death Cast, astronomers have discovered another interstellar object, and this one could be a comet. The first object, Oumuamua, was discovered only a week before it flew out of our solar system into the universe. This new object should be in our solar system for almost a year, giving scientists enough time to properly study it. Plus, if it does turn out to be a comet, the discovery could lead to some surprising data about the universe itself. Then, NASA won two Creative Arts Emmy Awards. one for the coverage of the first test of the Crew Dragon capsule, which launched from Cape Canaveral and docked with the International Space Station for the first time. The second award was for the interactive coverage NASA and JPL produced for the Mars InSight lander mission, which is still getting data today on the red planet.

Niles Deneen - Deneen Pottery Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

Niles Deneen of Deneen Pottery joins the 144th episode of the podcast this week. Deneen is a second-generation pottery business that got its start in the 1970s from Niles's father. From meager beginnings of making a handful of mugs with only four glaze colors, the small business has blossomed into producing over 600,000 mugs a year. These mugs are all hand-thrown, fired in a kiln and glazed in Deneen's facility, which is doing its part to reduce its carbon footprint and create incredible art at the same time. Death Wish Coffee has been working with Deneen Pottery since almost the beginning, and Niles talks about his unique relationship, the pottery industry, and just how these beautiful mugs are made.

SCIENCE: New dinosaur discovered Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

On this week's science segment from Fueled By Death Cast, it's all about dinosaurs. First, a new dinosaur species was identified in Japan. Kamuysaurus Japonicus is a new genus and species of hadrosaurid or duck-billed dinosaur. This new find will help scientists to further unlock the mysteries of these dinosaurs, including their reasons for being near large bodies of water. Then, new evidence about Tyrannosaurs Rex suggests that the holes in their skulls might work like giant thermostats. Much like alligators today have temperature regulators in their skull, the T. Rex could also have had this biological phenomenon.

SCIENCE: Mars Helicopter Sep 08, 2019

Show notes

On this week in science from Fueled By Death Cast, I check in with the progress on the Mars 2020 rover from NASA. The final clean lab tests are being performed, and some of the last pieces of technology are being added to the rover, including the very interesting Mars Helicopter. Developed by NASA, the helicopter flies differently than a helicopter in on Earth, having to compensate for the gravity and atmosphere of the red planet. One of the final things left to do with the Mars 2020 rover is to give it a name! So kids all across the country from grades K-12 have the chance to submit their suggestion and a short essay explaining their name choice to NASA by Nov.1. The names will be voted on and a winner announced on Feb 18th, 2020, exactly one year before the rover touches down on the surface of Mars.

SCIENCE: Virgin Galactic Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

This week on science, I talk about the historic flight into space from the Virgin Galactic VSS Unity in 2018. Sir Richard Branson started the Virgin group in the 1970s and it spawned Virgin Airlines, Virgin Records, and most recently, Virgin Galactic. The space-faring company has had a rocky road from inception to the successful flight of 2018, and I break down some of the most amazing advances they have come up with and the preparation that went into the launch. Plus, meet the two pilots who brought VSS Unity to space, and who might one day be YOUR pilot on a trip to the stars.

If you would like to learn more about one of the pilots, Mark 'Forger' Stucky, check out our interview with Mark at deathwishcoffee.com/forger
