Snow on the moon? Yes, though not recently... but maybe billions of years ago. Recent discoveries indicate that the early moon, orbiting just 20,000 miles above our planet at the time, may have shared a dynamic magnetic field with that of the Earth, resulting in the moon having an early atmosphere about twice as dense as the Martian atmosphere is today! This has wide implications for planetary science, but perhaps our favorite is that it may have snowed both carbon dioxide and water ice on the moon back in the day. We're also talking about the amazing launch and recovery of New Glenn, the plight of the Chinese taikonauts aboard the Tiangong space station, and a recent SpaceX memo about—no surprises here—a delay to their lunar landing program for Artemis III. Join us!

As you may or may not know, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is in the administration's crosshairs. With cuts to their budget and staffing beginning under Elon Musk's DOGE, it has taken a different form with the government shutdown. Employees furloughed or retired from critical programs, laboratories shuttered, and entire facilities gutted--all without the approval of Congress. By the time the shutdown is over, NASA's primary research center--and the one most responsible for what many are now calling "the C-word," climate science--will be a shell of its former self. Josh Dinner, who recently completed a months-long investigative report, joins us. Also: Jared Isaacman is back in the running as NASA chief, the 25th anniversary of the ISS, and China now working with the US on orbital dangers.

Leo, I remember watching you on TV in the late 90's. I don't remember which channel it was on. It was before TechTV or G4. I've got much love for you, and love that you're still going. Give Beneto his own show!
Leon Bad. Elon Good.
The host for Security Now is seriously awful, and basically does nothing but reads articles S-L-O-W-L-Y for almost the entire podcast. His tonality is so monotonous I can't do it anymore. This show is just bad, sorry.
As for your sponsor Helm, they are TRYING their best to help with privacy, and I do appreciate their effort. But they are USA-based, and if you listen to the CEO's interview with Jason Calacanis, he admits that the FBI came to question him before it even launched! Do you REALLY think a product like this that will be watched like a hawk is going to be private? Educate yourself and do things yourself without Helm to avoid the risk of a backdoor.
Regarding VPN suggestions in this episode: Express is good (though mainstream and a larger target, could be trouble moving forward), lots of new tech, encrypted DNS fetching, good jurisdiction, Nord is better than some, TONS of servers, performance is ok, but their app does forced analytics. TunnelBear has been sold to a USA-based corporation and should be AVOIDED. Don't listen to these mainstream tech sites, first rule of VPN Club: you NEVER use a USA-based VPN, it is the worst possible jusidiction for privacy, even worse than Australia. Overall the best VPNs are offshore outside the 9 Eyes, with OpenVPN standard, that are medium-sized and run by privacy activists preferably.
Good point by Leo. I am so glad that he doesn't install or use Facebook or FB-owned platforms. Sadly he is right about the Facebook "shadow profiles", where they create a non-public acccount for you for their internal data, it is rather psycho. But not using FB-owned products does help a LOT to stop tracking.
Stop referring to the company as "Ring", it is owned by AMAZON. This scandal about Amazon using their Amazon Ring doorbells to spy on people by force should be the top headline on all news sites, as it expands the government/police spying in the USA by a huge margin...and why should this stop in the US? They ship worldwide, there is nothing stopping them from doing so globally. And the fact that it was Amazon the contacted las enforcement about this and not the other way around speaks volumes. People should be terrified about this.
How is this Steve guy supposedly a security expert when he admits he doesn't even encrypt any of his cloud files? He also said that he does all his work from home, in which case, why are you even using cloud storage and exposing yourself to additional risk in the first place? Just do 2x local backups. It is difficult to take advice seriously when something as basic as encryption is ignored.
