Future News - Arecibo's Demise, Joby's Flying Car Rise, Astro-Zeneca's Surprise, Reverse Aging Arrives!

Listen to Future News 11.24.2020

Certainly the most promising story this week is the Israeli research on reverse aging, the aging process has been biologically reversed for the first time by giving humans oxygen therapy in a pressurised chamber. The researchers claim that telemere length, a key measure of the aging process, shows a lengthing equivalent to 25 years younger for the average subject in the experiment, over a period of three months.  Truly remarkable!

Reverse aging oxygen therapy in a pressurized chamber
   It was very sad to hear of the demise of the iconic 1000-foot Arecibo radio astronomy dish in Puerto Rico, the end of an era of pioneering research into the electromagnetic mysteries of the universe.  It was uplifting, however, to cover the successes of Jo Ben Bevirt of Joby Aviation, a ‘local boy done good’ in creating actual flying cars, a dream of humanity since the dawn of time. And of course, we give you our latest report on the Covid-19 virus world, with the breaking news surrounding Astro-Zeneca’s offering, with great input from Bobby Wilder, our science correspondent in SF. Enjoy!

As we enter into the darkest part of the year and the most infectious period of the virus, we are told that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are almost ready for us.  Not for all of us at first, but the front line defenders, first responders,  approved fact checkers, and perhaps holders of the coveted Disney Signature Plus passes.

In today’s show we delve into these vaccines for your edification, with many callers adding their two cents on our current not quite dire situation. Welcome to our newly achieved Level Purple in the Golden State, the highest level you can get, so far..

Can you believe it, more Apple news? Yep, three major presentation in the last two months, and this one is all about the new Apple Silicon, and how it’s stream lining the Apple eco-system with high speeds and levels of coss platform compatibility. Apple tracker Taylor Barcroft is in the studio with the latest Apple info.

Not as much space news this week, but I found it fascinating that NASA’s latest estimate of inhabitable worlds in our local galaxy is about 300 million planets.  Talk about room for migration! All we need is some decent transportation, perhaps a future version of Virgin Galactic’s Hyperloop..

And lots of virus news this week, with the 90% success rate of Pfizer’s vaccine and promising reseach results from the University of Washington on their ultra-potent nano-particle vaccine. My favorite this week is the MIT research to create an app for your phone that can see if you have Covid simply by analyzing your coughs!  Bobby Wilder is in our virtual studio to help us sift throught the latest research.  Enjoy!

Naturally on election day we mostly didn’t talk about the elections, everyone else is doing that! But it does look like we have a new astronaut senator from Arizona, congrats to Mark Kelly! In other space news, we discuss the return mission of OSIRUS-REX, space-based AI for improved weather info by deleting photos with clouds, the upgrade to our global Deep Space Network, how our NASA chief admin, Jim Bridenstine, is performing, and the latest results from Starlink’s beta test.

In the Covid world, we report on the breakthrough research in a nano particle spike vaccine from University of Washington, and an AI-based app that can determine with 98% accuracy whether or not you have SARS-Cov2 from your cough, even if you are asymptomatic!  And because there was COVID alert at our KSCO radio station, everyone in today’s broadcast was at home! Enjoy..

Some great space stories this week, as NASA announces more water found on the moon, and the Bennu probes tries to bring home some asteroid rubble, despite some technical difficulties.  The Hubble space telescope also takes a closer look at Psyche, a large metallic orb in the Asteroid Belt, containing more iron, nickel and other metals than the entire Earth.  What are the implications?

We bring on “Anon” to educate us more about Bitcoin and its recent rise from $10-13K in value.  Anon helps us delve a bit into the Bitcoin trading world, a topic of interest to many as the good old US dollar takes some flak from Covid and political turmoil in these tumoltuous times.

Also of interest this week is an open letter from World Doctors Alliance to citizens and governments of the world about contentious issues regarding the  Covid-19 pandemic. Definitely worth checking out, enjoy!
