Commercial stratospheric balloons - An opportunity to touch space
High-altitude Adventures
08/07/23 • 35 min
You will be able to see our blue planet Earth below; black skies, bright stars and the Sun will be above. You will be in a space-rated capsule, in the vacuum of space. You will have 2 hours to enjoy the view from 36 km. Your flight will be slow and gentle. It will cost much less than a flight to orbit or a space station. Your spaceship will be carried by a stratospheric balloon.
Our guest, Jose Mariano Lopez Urdiales, the Founder and CEO of Zero 2 Infinity company, spent many years launching high-altitude stratospheric balloons. He had studied at MIT and International Space University; has worked at Boeing and European Space Agency. For the last 13 years he is developing the project of lifting tourists beyond Earth's atmosphere, to see space with their own eyes.

Did you know you could experience real weightlessness here on Earth? Exactly the same type as on board of the International Space Station.
Our guest, Dr. Kirby Runyon, a planetary geologist and a zero-g coach, who himself had spent an hour in weightlessness, is talking about how and where it can be done, how much it costs, how safe it is, and why your jumpsuit patch is upside down before your first zero-g flight.

Space Tourism and "Creature Comforts in Space"
High-altitude Adventures
06/30/24 • 46 min
Samuel Coniglio IV is a futurist, technical writer, photographer, inventor, and private space industry advocate. He is a Board Member and a former Vice President of the Space Tourism Society. Samuel was active with the National Space Society, Space Frontier Foundation, and Yury's Night World Space Party events. In the 1990's, he worked for McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) on the Space Shuttle, International Space Station, and the little-known, but historic Delta Clipper Experimental (DC-X) reusable rocket program.
He is also my friend. We first met in 1994, when Samuel and I worked together to organise a trip of a group of Russian "rocket scientist" students to Florida to visit KSA, ERAU and attend a launch of a Space Shuttle. I lived in the U.S. then.
Samuel was in Ireland last week, for the first time ever, and I took liberty of pulling him away from his family for half a day. We talked about space in general, space tourism, and about his new book. We exceeded all possible time limits, so I had to split our "chat" into two separate podcast episodes.
In the previous episode (3) we talked about space programs of USA, USSR and Russia and about Delta Clipper Experimental project by McDonnell Douglas.
In this episode we talk about space tourism in general and about the book which Samuel wrote and has finally published: "Creature Comforts in Space". It's about all technical solutions (some of which are Samuel's inventions) which will make our lives in space liveable ... and perhaps even comfortable.

In this episode we talk about the Delta Clipper program and space programs of USA and Russia in general, and share memories about the "early days" of US-Russian cooperation in space.
In the second part of our conversation, which became Episode 4, we talk about the space tourism and Samuel's new book: "Creature Comforts in Space". You can watch it on Youtube here: • High-Altitude Adventures. S2-E4. Spac... ... or take a listen on the same audio platform.
The significance of the Delta Clipper (DC-X) is in the fact that it was the first reusable rocket and it paved the way for several modern projects, which are making access to space routine and cheap, thus opening future for commercial space travellers.
