Consider This from NPR - NASA prepares to head back to the moon.

This time next year, if everything stays on schedule, NASA will send its first crewed mission to the moon, since the end of the Apollo program. Artemis II will be the first flight around the moon in more than 50 years.

Its goal will be to test out the Orion capsule and all the other equipment, so that by 2026, Artemis III can put astronauts back ON the moon.

The Artemis program is aimed to kickstart a new, more enduring era of space travel that leads to Mars.It's also intentionally more representative than Apollo was. The Artemis program will eventually put the first woman on the moon, as well as the first person of color.

It's all as historic and high stakes as it gets, and also pretty daunting.

NPR's Scott Detrow goes behind the scenes at the Johnson Space Center in Houston to see how the team is preparing.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Bitcoin Is Worth Over $1 Trillion. How Much Will Coinbase’s New cbBTC Grab?

Coinbase's new wrapped Bitcoin alternative, cbBTC, just launched. Will it challenge the dominance of WBTC in DeFi, or is it just another centralized solution? Coinbase’s VP of engineering, Will Robinson, breaks it all down.


On Thursday, Coinbase unveiled cbBTC, a tokenized version of Bitcoin on its Base layer 2 and Ethereum. This launch follows the recent BitGo controversy about the custody arrangement for Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) now involving Justin Sun, sparking concerns within the crypto community.

In this episode, Will Robinson, Coinbase’s VP of engineering, discusses the strategic importance of cbBTC, how it differs from other wrapped Bitcoin products, and what this means for the future of Bitcoin within DeFi ecosystems. 

Will Coinbase’s reputation as a "trusted custodian" be enough to make cbBTC the go-to choice for Bitcoin in DeFi, or will the industry remain skeptical?

  • Why Coinbase launched cbBTC and how it aims to bring Bitcoin into the world of DeFi
  • What happens behind the scenes when users mint cbBTC
  • What sets cbBTC apart from other wrapped Bitcoin options, according to Will
  • Whether Coinbase will expand cbBTC to other layer 2s and where users can already use it on major DeFi platforms
  • Will’s response to criticisms about the centralization of cbBTC
  • Why Coinbase's cbBTC launch was part of long-term plans, unrelated to the recent controversy around WBTC and Justin Sun
  • How Coinbase plans to make money from cbBTC, considering that WBTC has not been a big moneymaker for BitGo
  • Why Coinbase has the ability to freeze and blacklist cbBTC addresses
  • How Coinbase ensures that Bitcoin backing cbBTC remains the property of token holders and won’t be used as collateral or rehypothecated
  • Why Coinbase, a centralized entity, is launching cbBTC, a product for the decentralized, onchain world
  • Why Will doesn't want to predict how much demand there'll be for cbBTC

State of the World from NPR - Should the U.N. Security Council be Reformed?

The Security Council is the United Nations' most powerful body, with the ability to impose sanctions and authorize the use of force. There are five permanent members of the council: Russia, France, China, the U.S and Britain. And any one of those permanent members can veto council resolutions. The U.S. is proposing expanding the number of permanent members, including two permanent seats for African countries. We talk to the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. about the proposal.

And Seoul, South Korea is such a massive city, residents looking to experience nature can face a long journey to reach the countryside. As a result, the city's parks are catering to urban campers who want to sleep outdoors closer to home. We meet some of them.
