I agree with Nick – this is a good marketing tool to boost interest in STEM careers. Had I seen one of these kinds of things as a high school senior or college freshman I might have done something other than teach history, though that has value, too. A society as tech-dependent as ours needs a near-constant supply of people who can think scientifically, and have the skills to do math, chemistry, physics, etc. Those are all skills, by the way, that I decidedly lack, but I recognize their value intellectually and economically.
The main reason for not going to the moon in the past fifty years was we had the International Space Station to do the science in microgravity. We have never been able to convince conservatives that space research is essential and worthy of funding.
Nick, I love what you are doing, both with these mini series about what CWU offers and our regular A to Z series and field trips. Your teaching style makes even the clueless, like me at times, understand. I think the best part is how you end your video by telling the viewers you love them. It makes me feel special and that I am in your classroom. I live 800 plus miles away from my grown children and chose to move away from NJ for a variety of reasons, but I miss my kids and now grandkids, They have their lives so we do not always talk on a regular basis but they to, always end with those three little but powerful words, I love you. I love that you are sincere when you say it and it means a lot to me and I am sure it does to others as well. I think it’s fair to say we all love you to! Thank you!
Would think that SpaceX has developed a tested and successful first state that returns to the earth; NASA should use this technology to not save millions of dollars on first-stage first-stage boosters that could land back on the ground. It could save future Artemis missions tons of money
Lunar ice has the great potential for powering a permanent base ( because of hydrogen and oxygen) but also combined with solar energy. I can see similiarly designed huts connected together and flow in by several missions to make a scientific base within 20 years but we need young people in various STEM courses to develope those means to do any of this! Dr. Darci really knows how to challenge and engage her audience. Thanks for bringing her to us and those young folks there Nick. Exploring and exploiting the potential of the internet to get even younger students interested in possibly going to CWU is a great thing as your channel on YT shows.
42:40 In which Snowden makes the point that the US has to be "first". This is left over from the cold war (which initiated all this rocketry.) The US's space efforts are defense first, everything else second. That was true of Apollo, and because of US politics (no party wants to be seen as not patriotic) it still remains true today.
Hi Nick, you’ve said in the past that you don’t pay much attention to you tube analytics, but if you want to know how old your viewers are: Go to your channel, click on “manage videos” move your mouse to the right of any video thumbnail and click on “analytics” Then click on “audience” scroll down the page and it will show “age and gender” Thanks for all you do for us!
Seeing that that CWU is heavily into Geology and these talks are hosted by the geology department, my question without notice is…Do you think there are synergies to be had in studying moon geology to help us understand the geology of the PNW. For example understanding things like the Columbia River flood basalts
All power to NESSPA. Education is the road to the first world and non traditional learning like seniors education for pure interest instead of education that is driven by economics
I hope NASA can keep inspiring young people with a mission like Artemis so that space exploration will continue!😃💫 I also hope that more universities like CWU can take a part in outreaching students and teachers from various communities to encourage the STEM education to blossom in the States and elsewhere in the world!! For that matter, Nick Zentner is doing an awesome job streaming the speaker like Darci Snowden to let us know those resources are available to us, thank you to both.💞🚀🌕💫
I loved this presentation. Probably because my father was a professional aviator in the military before he retired at Mtn. Home AFB, Idaho in 1975. One of his room mates in his college (USMA West Point) was a part of the Apollo missions. I think if you can spark curiosity in young folks and provide the avenues of exploration and the tools great things happen. I wish the program described success.
This episode is brought to us by Nick. We gotta love him!
Kidding aside, thank you Nick for bringing CWU and Vinman's Bakery to the public. We need scientists as much as bakers. They bring knowledge and joy to the world.
Of course all professions are important, but these two must not be forgotten.
As to the sound : the speaker's microphone was a bit higher up, so she seemed louder than you.
Most of my comments on Professor Zentner's were positive. For the first time, I am posting a negative comment. 1.This lady uses a demeaning tone, as if she were addressing a group of kindergartners. (Does anyone want NASA stickers ???) This is a group of intelligent college students. 2. She did not come to teach science – she came to promote her employer, and her own ideas of critical race and gender theories. I could not watch this past the first 30 minutes. This is a shame. I have a great deal and appreciation for Professor Zentner and his work. I am looking forward to all the lectures featuring real scientists.
Dang…I missed it by 11 minutes
Missed was distracted. I'm hooked on Nick's investigation.

I missed it also…thank goodness for replay.
5×5 in Tucson…
Nick, if you looked like her I would never miss a video
Darci is an engaging speaker-Thank you.
Late, doctors don't keep schedules!
You have classes for over 75? Slow learners- Ha!! Welcome speaker and new instructor!!

what an exciting program! We need to develop propulsion by gravity control.

Space smells like burning walnuts with a distinct additional aroma of burning car brake pads.
