In this wide-ranging conversation, astronaut Leroy Chiao joins Miles to talk candidly about what it’s really like to live and work in space — and inside NASA. From Cold War suspicion to Russian cooperation, and from toilet paper certification to Starliner delays, it’s a journey full of humor, frustration, and hard-earned insight. Chiao also shares why he almost flew a year-long mission (spoiler: a very large space tourist), what happens when blood flows the wrong way in microgravity, and whether Jared Isaacman can actually fix what’s broken at NASA.…

In this special edition of Miles to Go , I sit down with longtime friend and aviation expert Lars Perkins to analyze the NTSB’s latest findings on the midair collision over the Potomac River. We discuss the altimeter discrepancy, the challenges of visual flight rules (VFR), and whether night vision goggles (NVGs) may have hindered rather than helped the helicopter crew. We also explore systemic issues in aviation safety, including the normalization of deviance—where repeated near misses create a false sense of security. Finally, we examine the political interference in the NTSB investigation and what the agency’s next steps might reveal.…

In this episode of Miles to Go , we delve into the invisible world of methane leaks with environmental advocate Melissa Ostroff. Armed with a thermal imaging camera, Melissa tracks methane emissions from century-old oil wells in Pennsylvania's Allegheny National Forest to the streets of Philadelphia. Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, is responsible for 30% of global warming, yet it often escapes detection due to insufficient monitoring and outdated infrastructure. Join Miles O'Brien as he follows Melissa's journey, uncovering the surprising scale of methane leaks—from abandoned wells to her own basement. This eye-opening discussion reveals the hidden dangers of our reliance on natural gas and highlights the urgent need for better policies and technologies to address these emissions.

Today is Election Day—at long last. I am exhausted, and I suspect many of you feel the same way. I am in Georgia to cover this important day in history for the PBS News Hour. I'm sure you know by now Georgia is one of the seven swing States where the actual decision will be made on who is our next president. Despite no evidence to support the notion, Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly questioned the Integrity of the vote tallying process in this country. Georgia became one of the main targets of these so-called election deniers in the wake of the 2020 election. But long before the likes of Mike Lindell and Sidney Powell descended on places like Coffee County to try and steal the presidency from Joe Biden, Donna Curling was raising questions about the security and integrity of the machines that Georgia uses to record and tabulate votes. The lawsuit, now called “Curling v. Rafensperger,” began when Donna had just moved to Georgia and voted on machines made by Diebold, which left no verifiable paper trail of voter intent. She was dismayed by this, eventually leading her and the other plaintiffs to sue the state in 2017 to stop using the machines. The machines that the state bought in 2019 to replace the DREs are so-called Ballot Marking Devices made by Dominion Voting Systems. Curling and her fellow plaintiffs believe these devices are still vulnerable. They have consistently advocated for what computer scientists say is the gold standard for voting: paper and pen. Oh, the irony. So, the suit remains active even as the BMDs do here in Georgia. Hopefully, election deniers will not raise false allegations about the performance of these machines - using them as a way of planting seeds of doubt in the Integrity of the election. As for Donna Curling, she will continue her fight to have Georgia join the 70% of voters in the United States using hand-marked paper ballots. I had a great conversation with her. I hope you enjoy it. #ElectionDay #Democracy #VotingIntegrity #newshour…

Marvin Minsky is often regarded as the father of modern AI, but when Miles visited him in 2010, Minsky wasn’t a proud father. In fact, Minsky was disappointed with the lack of progress in the field and had reservations about its future. Unfortunately, Minsky is no longer with us and can’t answer our questions about machine learning and new robots, but his answers from this interview in many ways still hold.
