  Space News for Kids: Astronauts, a Moon Base & a Photo Billions of Years Old 07.08.2026 12m

  Space news the whole family can understand! This week Tess rounds up 10 big space stories and asks one fun question about all of them: how does time actually work up there? 🚀We follow 4 astronauts getting ready to fly to the International Space Station, find out why rockets are booked all the way to 2029, visit a future Moon base, ride along on a 6.5-hour spacewalk, and finish with a brand-new telescope photo that lets us look BILLIONS of years into the past.Perfect for curious kids, families, homeschoolers, and classrooms. Every story ends with a simple takeaway you can try at home. Ever wondered how old you'd be on another planet, or how long a year lasts on Uranus? This is the show for you.⏱️ In this episode:(00:00) Welcome + this week's big question(01:09) SpaceX astronauts head to the ISS on Sept 12(02:48) NASA funds 18 wild future-space inventions(04:18) Why Falcon 9 is booked to 2029 (and Mars launch windows)(06:08) Building a base on the Moon(07:48) How a launch schedule works(09:05) NASA watches a rocket part crash into the Moon(10:40) Crew-13 and the fastest ride humans have(11:53) A 6.5-hour spacewalk = 4 laps of Earth(13:23) Why a space museum is really a time machine(14:43) A telescope photo of galaxies billions of years old(16:50) Your Time Traveller Challenge + goodbyeHost: Tess.

  Could You Live Longer on Mars? Human Lifespan Across the Solar System 05.08.2026 8m

  Would you age slower on Mars, or faster on Jupiter? Tess breaks down how gravity, radiation, and atmosphere on every world would rewrite the human lifespan, planet by planet.Full description:Imagine a hundred-year lifespan on Mars, or one measured in months on Jupiter. In this episode, Tess explores the real biology behind living on other worlds: how Mars's lighter gravity could ease strain on your heart and bones, why the Moon's low gravity is actually a trap rather than a shortcut, and why radiation, not gravity, is the biggest threat to how long we could last across the solar system.We cover:Earth's baseline: why 1G, a magnetic field, and 21% oxygen make 72-80 years possibleMars: the optimistic vs. realistic lifespan scenariosThe Moon: bone loss, muscle atrophy, and 200x radiation exposureJupiter, Saturn, and their moons: survivable or not?Venus: the ultimate hostile environmentThe technology (artificial gravity, radiation shielding, gene therapy) that would actually decide the outcomeCalculate your own age on every planet at tatssp.com/calculator.

  Moons of Madness - Where Time Goes Sideways 28.11.2025 10m

  What if the Sun rose in the west? On Mars's moon Phobos, it does — and it happens twice a day.In this episode, we journey to the strangest moons in our solar system, where the rules of time get bent, broken, and turned completely sideways.You'll discover:- Phobos — the moon that rises backwards and orbits faster than Mars rotates- Titan — where a single season lasts 7 Earth years and methane rivers carve the landscape- Io — where Jupiter never sets and volcanoes are powered by gravitational kneading- Europa — the ice moon hiding an ocean with more water than Earth- Our Moon — the familiar stranger with two-week days and a sky where Earth never setsWhether you're a student, teacher, parent, or space enthusiast, this episode will change how you think about time, moons, and what "a day" really means.Explore more at tatssp.com/moons — calculate your age on Titan, read stories about life on these worlds, and discover why the moons are where the solar system gets personal.—Time Across the Solar SystemFree science education for everyone.Every fact NASA-verified.

  Why Do Astronauts Float in Space? — Zero Gravity Explained 25.11.2025

  They’re not escaping gravity — they’re riding it.In our first full episode of Time Across the Solar System, we uncover the real reason astronauts appear to float. Discover how orbit works, why the International Space Station is constantly “falling forever,” and what weightlessness truly feels like.This episode connects directly with our mission at tatssp.com — an educational web project making planetary science personal, visual, and engaging.At the site, you can explore interactive tools that show how time, days, and years work differently on every world, calculate your age on other planets, and dive into classroom-ready lessons backed by NASA and JPL data.✨ Highlights• The truth behind “zero gravity” — what scientists really call microgravity• How orbit balances gravity and motion in perfect harmony• The strange physics of floating water, fire, and even tears in space• How astronauts turn science into play — from floating candy to spherical flames🎙 Hosted by: The TATSS AI Narrator🎵 Music: Neural Syntax— Ambient Cosmic Intro Theme🔭 Learn more and try the interactive planetary tools at: tatssp.com
