Human Everywhere – Details, episodes & analysis

Chille Bergstrom (pronounced like chilly - she/her) began studying aerospace engineering at age 8 through MIT and was named ‘Space Futurist’ at age 10 by MIT’s Media Lab. Sixteen year old Chille has worked with the International Space Station National Lab, the World Design Organization, UNHCR, NASA & Boeing. Having a unique outlook on life that includes a profoundly gifted education due to asynchronous brain development and a love of learning & inventing, Chille is an advocate for those with, as she describes them, "hyperabilities" that could be game changers in space.

Mounir Alafrangy's research efforts investigate humankind's ambitious desire to explore the universe by examining human behavior and its change over time in the isolated, confined, and extreme (ICE) environment of space. This is feasible in part, through an AI system that autonomously monitors and categorizes a network of variables.

Gary Calnan began as the Co-Founder of a startup called NightRiders, Inc. and evolved to cover a wide breadth of experience including: Business Consulting, Investment Management, and Corporate FP&A in both large public company and mid-market PE-owned settings.

As CEO of CisLunar Industries, he returned to his roots in entrepreneurship and combined this with his lifelong passion for space. He believes that we are on the cusp of a great opening of the space frontier and through this endeavor, he hopes to contribute to this effort.

We talk about the new frontier and about the WHY and HOW we will enable human beings to travel into Space, while still focused on helping solve problems, and potential problems, for Earth.

Frank White has authored or coauthored numerous books on topics ranging from space exploration to climate change to artificial intelligence. His best-known work, The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution, is considered by many to be a seminal work in the field of space exploration.

Frank joins the podcast to talk about his philosophy on Space and every human's right to experience the journey from Earth into the greater Universe.

Meet your hosts, Jason Batt and UB Ciminieri, as well as collaborators and frequent co-hosts Alires Almon and Mark Kettles, as they talk about their mission at Deep Space Predictive and what listeners can expect from our new podcast.

After 20 years in commercial real estate, Terry Trevino decided to pursue his passion for space exploration and science. He is currently a founder at Space 4 All, a co-founder at Magneto Space, and an aerospace scientist and graduate researcher at the University of North Dakota. His mission is to seek answers to even bigger questions and assist humanity on its journey beyond the magnetosphere, using the technology at hand, to further develop systems protecting our home - Spaceship Earth.

Bailey Burns is an Aerospace Systems Engineer based in Denver, Colorado. She has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.S. in Space Resources. She is focused on life support systems and other aspects of human spaceflight. Early in her career, Bailey found she had an unknown desire to experience space for herself. And now she's well on her way as an analog astronaut and founder of the PLUR Movement.

In 2017, Olaoluwalotobi Thomas started researching how astronauts train to go to space, then took it upon himself to start the process. First, he learned how to scuba dive and got his scuba diving certification, then he started to meet people in space science circles who gave him more information on how to train. That led him to “more established astronaut training programs" leading to doing an analog astronaut program in Poland.

Adam Dipert is a zero gravity movement artist, studying better ways to help humans move in space. He has performed nuclear physics experiments at Arizona State, Duke, and NC State Universities, and Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratories. HIs 20-year circus career has been focused around object manipulation, equilibristics, costuming, and makeup, garnering him the title, "The Space Juggler."

Drew Smithsimmons, a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, has practiced in the mental health space for years, developing a deep understanding for the connection Humans need to survive, and thrive.

As co-founder of Braided Communications, he combines his expertise in psychology with product development to support the health and performance of astronauts on deep space missions and to improve the experience and outcomes of workplace collaboration, terrestrially.

For #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we dive into a powerful conversation about Human mental health and wellness and how, even in deep space, we still take that Humanity with us, necessitating technology to support what we need to maintain our Humanity.
