Some cool stories this week, including our very own Taylor Barcroft’s admission he is a Swiftie, in the Taylor Swift sense of the word. Who knew?  Besides sharing his Swiftie passion he updates us on the latest in Apple Tech, waveforms of the word ‘water’ in many languages onboard Europa Clipperincluding what’s coming up soon, like Siri 2 this summer!   If you’ve ever wondered what Hitler sounds like if he spoke native English, wonder no more, we play you one of the AI clips that has gone viral.  This clip did inspire a political conversation on authoritarianism and US politics, which is rare for us. 

The Europa Clipper mission is coming up soon and we share with you some of the magic of this space adventure, as it is exploring a fellow water world in our very own solar system.  There is a cool plaque about water on board, and a world class poem about water, which is quite delightful!

Listen Now to Dr.Mrs. Future Show 10.18.2022

 With special in-studio guest, Gabriel Cianfrani, today’s show starts off with a ‘burst,’ as look into the powerful gamma ray burster that lit up our skies earlier this month.  Considered huge, it was nicknammed “BOAT,” the ‘Biggest Of All Time’. We are fortunate that it happened in a galaxy far far away..   We also take a look at the mysterious ‘burp’ of  starstuff, emitted by a supermassive black hole.  Supposedly nothing escapes the event horizon of a black hole, but somehow, remnants of a devoured star did..We wonder why..

Apple Computer had some special announcements today, so our Apple geek, Taylor Barcroft, is in the studio to inform us of the updates in the latest iPads and Apple TV’s. We then delve into several stories involving ‘spin,’ such as the successful Spinlaunch space launches, the ever spinning faster asteroid, and centrifugal coffee.  Callers brought up some amazing aerial stories, such as that of DB Cooper’s plane hijacking, David Blain’s balloon trip, and Col. Terry’s spin on a socio-Ukrainian hot button. Enjoy!

Fascinating news this week about Venus, and the discovery of a gas usually only made by living organisms, phosphine, was found in the upper atmosphere of the planet. If this checks out, it could mean that Venus may harbor microorganisms in it’s atmosphere! NASA is working on a mission to scoup up some of the Venusian atmosphere and bring it home for testing..

Meanwhile, back here on Earth, we have Scientific American actually endorsing a presidential candidate for the first time in it’s 175-year history.

Future News - Finding India's Lunar Lander, China's Rover finds Lunar Gel, Moon Conspiracies, Taylor Barcroft on the new iPhone 11 and Watch Series 5.

Listen Now to Future News 9.10.2019

Things looked bright for the Indian Lunar Chandrayaan 2 mission, until the final mile, when all contact was lost with the lander. It did land, however, but it appears to be on its side, a hard landing. Fortunately, most of the science of this mission lays with the instruments aboard the Chandrayaan 2 lunar orbiter.  So the mission continues despite the lander loss. Meanwhile, the Chinese lunar rover, the Yutu-2, has discovered what has been described as a gel-like substance near the South Pole. 

And to discuss the latest greatest iOS devices announced today by Apple, we have Taylor Barcroft in the studio, our Apple correspondent with the inside scoop. Should you get a new iPhone this year? There are many compelling reasons if you are still an iPhone 6,7,8 or X user.  (I do like the stunning new 3 lens camera on the iPhone 11 Pro). And if you like games, here’s comes Apple Arcade, where you can play dozens of compelling titles for $4.99/month. If you don’t like games, there is Apple’s Neflix competition, Apple TV plus, also for $4.99. Taylor will explain all. Enjoy!
