Since we took the last part of 2011 off we thought it may be a good idea to review some of the amazing events that took place. From the shuttles retiring to space mishaps we talk about 2011 and what the future holds for 2012.

If you didn’t catch it, our live shows have changed times. We now broadcast on Sundays at 22:00 UTC / 2:00pm PST / 5:00pm EST. The live show is a lot more fun when you participate in the community, so stop on by and say hello!

This is a silent auction to raise money for leukemia research. Space has a long history of helping to find solutions for humanity and on-orbit cancer research is no exception.

After the break we take a look at the upcoming final flight of the space shuttle. Where you can watch it, how you should watch it and what to do before and after the shuttle flight.

Armadillo Aerospace is a NewSpace company looking to take you and me to the stars. Led by fearless leader John Carmack this amazing little startup is cranking away at next generation vehicles. Sometimes things don’t always go according to plan. We take a peek at a couple of crashes and big bada booms.

Speaking of NewSpace, Virgin Galactic is looking beyond sub-orbital tourist flights to LEO and even uber short trips between continents. Beyond just awesome space trips, it is possible that Virgin Galactic will change how we fly and make the world an even smaller place.

We may spend a lot of time talking about the larger NewSpace companies such as SpaceX, but in this episode we look at a couple of the smaller entities that are doing some amazing things with next to zero budget.

NASA has returned some beautiful videos of the shuttle attached to the ISS while ESA wants to make sure we don’t go stir crazy during our ride to Mars.

All that, a bit of Spacevidcast crazy and your questions answered on this Jun 10th, 2011 edition of Spacevidcast Live.

The Space Shuttle is retiring this year. NASA is shifting its focus to build a space industry and spur a new space enconomy rather than just run a single manned space program. Of course with this change comes some pain, and people resistant to new things. In this live show we cover ways you can participate in the ending of the Space Shuttle Program as well as why you shouldn’t fear change. The future for manned space exploration has never been brighter, we just have to illuminate the path for those who don’t see it yet.

Why that numbering system? Well, we explain it in the open of the show!

A lot of amazing stuff is happening within America’s Space Programs on the 50th anniversary of JFK’s iconic moon landing speech we talk about people stuck in the past of Apollo and some of the advantages of moving forward with companies like SpaceX.

After the break we have some awesome video from Endeavour’s solid rocket booster cameras as well as a Soyuz station flyaround with the Space Shuttle stuff attached to the International Space Station

Too many to answer during our live coverage. We decided to take an entire live to to talk about some of the more common questions and answer them as best we can. Of course our amazing live community was there to help out both during the regular show and the after dark show (epic subscribers only).

Speaking of After Dark, if you want some insight in to the new Disney Star Tours ride, you’ll want to watch this episode! We also chat more about the future of space and an amazing gift from one Spacevidcaster!

NASA Awards over a quarter billion to next generation space companies to develop spaceships capable of sending humans to the International Space Station. Lockheed Martin details plans to go to Mars, well, close to Mars. China may get Space Race 2.0 going, but is that a good thing?

States that did get a retired orbiter but may not have deserved it are upset. And people are just plain grumpy about where the 4 remaining space shuttles will go. We also chat about delays in next generation rockets and how to INSPIRES kids.
