Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Guest: David Susko, The Road To The Moon And Then To Mars, Part 2
Q: Is Mars a one-way trip, or can astronauts be brought back safely?
Bringing astronauts back is very challenging but feasible; the plan commonly discussed involves first orbiting or detouring around Mars, or staging a return by delaying landing, with future missions aiming to ensure a safe return capability.
Guest: Sarah W. Anderson, Attorney at Law, specializing in Cybersecurity
Q: What should companies consider when using AI in hiring or surveillance?
Companies should require clear disclosure of data sources and algorithm origins, ensure consent where required, and treat AI outputs as one of many signals, always reviewing them for potential legal liabilities and biases under existing data and labor laws.
Guest: Sarah W. Anderson, Attorney at Law, specializing in Cybersecurity
Q: What are your thoughts on pass keys and biometrics?
Pass keys and biometrics are moving the security conversation forward, but biometric data carries long-term risk because unlike passwords you can't change a fingerprint or iris, so I counsel staying away from biometric collection where possible and implementing cautious, policy-driven use when necessary.
Guest: David Susko, The Road To The Moon And Then To Mars
Q: How will multiple rockets and spacecraft coordinate for Artemis developments?
The plan envisions linking up three powerful rockets (Orion, Starship, and Blue Moon/New Glenn variants) in space for docking demonstrations and then executing cargo and crew transfer sequences to enable a broader, more rapid buildup on the Moon.
Guest: David Susko, The Road To The Moon And Then To Mars
Q: What is the expected timeline for Artemis III, IV, and V?
Artemis III is aimed for 2027, Artemis IV around 2028-2029, and Artemis V as a follow-on to build lunar infrastructure for long-term habitation, though schedules may slip due to program challenges and technical issues.
