Today on Spaced Out, Rosetta has a kōrero with Josh about a failed soviet lander that has made its way back to Earth after 50 years in orbit, and Trumps proposed cuts to NASA funding. The pair also discuss what sounds like an exciting shooting star sighting from a beloved bFM texter - and an exciting upcoming event at The Stardome: Sanoi is previewing his new album at Stardome next week, pairing his lush electronic sounds with the cosmic wonders of our solar system!
It's been a huge week for space! Josh catches up with Nick and Rosetta to chat about some magnificent shots of the lunar eclipse caught by the Blue Ghost Lunar Lander (from the moon!), the Boeing Stranded Astronauts that finally are heading home after 9 months in space, and the Saturn's newly discovered moons! Thanks to the Stardome Observatory.
Josh catches us up on the news off-planet, including a successful moon landing by Firefly Aerospace, the probability of an Asteroid impact in 2032 has dropped but it may hit the moon, and in more happy news a total lunar ecplipse will occur next Rāmere/Friday.
Josh Aoraki joins Rosetta and Nick for Spaced Out. The trio chat about the impending arrival of the 'Blue Ghost Lunar Lander' Josh also hypes the team up for Stardome's upcoming Mars Month.
Josh Aoraki is back for 2025 - in outer planetary news, a small asteroid has been discovered with a very small chance of impacting earth in 7 years, Boeing and NASA are likely to cancel the SLS Moon rocket for Artemis missions as the Trump administration is set to layoff staff, and Saturn’s rings will ‘disappear’ next month.
For the final Spaced Out of 2024, Kaitlyn is joined by Josh in the studio to round-up out-of-this-world developments from 2024 and play a couple space-themed tracks. Thanks to the Stardome!
This week on Spaced Out we chat with Josh about how the US election results will effect NASA's future of space exploration, an exciting fly-by of Venus, and a series of congressional UFO hearings! Thanks to the Stardome Observatory!
Rosetta chats to Mall Goth, the band from the capital that has been making waves on the gig circuit down south whilst only having two releases out in circulation so far. At the start of November, the band dropped their second single, I Hate It Here. Whakarongo mai nei!
