Radio Sport It's 5 minutes past one Thanks Katie the 5 day weather forecast on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield and it comes from Lisa Gallagher a fair amount of cloud this afternoon with a scattering of showers becoming heavier more frequent while the end of the day and temperatures around 13 or 14 degrees with a freshening when now the rain will become heavy through this evening and at 1st light clearing the way to the south was dormant the wind will strengthen further and we do have a matter of his warning for the strength of the winter nights storms a gale force westerly winds temperatures down to around 9 or 10 degrees a much brighter day tomorrow with plenty of sunshine a chance of the odd shower the wind staying strong in gusty and temperatures around 14 degrees the wind will ease down for Friday sunny through the morning cloudy through the afternoon and then unsettled again a for the. And as more weather online at. Sheffield. Told me to go on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield. Good afternoon Fancy meeting you here for the next 2 hours for Ronnie Robinson he's still probably on some organic poetry slam training yaks whatever it is he likes to do we asked the serious business talking about space right up to the monkey Daydream Believer which will get us in the mood. Good that I need to. Live Bluebird she's seen. This sick sick. With Never. Look suits me. The slave. Wages cold dancing. You. Name bands it now. Is. Now. That's the sound of the plucky little Sputnik. The very very 1st satellite ever 60 years ago today the Russians launched Sputnik into orbit around the earth and that sound you heard was the beep beep beep it made as it orbits of the world and everyone could tune into it on a short wave radio it is the sound that many people at the time of associated with the very start of that intense air of space exploration. Sparing America to action into the space race the creation of NASA and ultimately. To the Moon How about. So in celebration of Sputnik the whole program today is about space and I've been speaking to Dr Tamala must yell from the National Space Center in Leicester. It was a very very simple satellite all it did was just be it sent a radio signal out there is nothing harmful about it at all but at the time both the Soviet Union and the u.s. Were desperate to prove that they would be the 1st to go into space and I think there is a bit of complacency on the American side thinking Soviet Union they're not ready yet they won't really get there and then seemingly out of the Blue October 1907 the Russians launch Sputnik and it just orbited the Earth and beeped but I think the power of it was it was so excessive people could see it they could listen to it and it wasn't just. Governments or journalist telling them it was happening they could do it for their own eyes the beep was the masterstroke wasn't it because you could tune in and I'm sure that we people listening now who had a short wave radio and tuned in it very clearly said I am here. And that's that's really the starting gun firing on the space race isn't it yeah absolutely so it was very deliberate. The Russians were conscious that that amateur radio societies around the world were were very keen on space development and they picked 20 and 40 megahertz as the frequencies and they kind of leaked to the Stephanie for the Soviet Union they leaked this frequency that you know be be ready for this because you'd be able to track it and yet as a Sputnik orbit it was about 96 minutes to 2 orbits every hour and a half you could sit there and as it flew over overhead you could tune in just what must've been an amazing thing at the time it seems that we've come so. So far since then in such a short period of time and now of course space is being accessed by private companies not just governments. Do we overlook how significant Sputnik was and actually how big a deal technically it was yeah I think it's really difficult to put yourself back in time then to imagine how strange this would have been so people were referring to it as a 2nd moon of Earth you know in an artificial moon a little companion and it was bizarre to have a manmade object in space going overhead that you could actually look at it was just you know it today we take satellites for granted and there's thousands of them and they are our g.p.s. There is that in our weather forecast but then it with that was the start I think everyone really points to Sputnik as as that charger moment to prove that space exploration is possible and of course the start of the space race and that's meant NASA followed and it's only a short step from the 2 men orbiting the planet isn't it yeah absolutely So when you look at the time scale it's just astonishing the pace of development so you have Sputnik October $957.00 less than a month later the Russians put up like a dog into orbit and they prove that it's possible have a living being in orbit less than a month later they do this $961.00 just a couple years later they got Yuri Gagarin as the 1st man in orbit and the Americans are still playing catch up at this point they're still not being the 1st at anything and it's not until we have the Gemini project the Apollo project and the moon shot you know let's land a man on the moon before the end of the decade that finally mass and sort of pulls ahead and starts getting those 1st in the space race when business are actually put socks up and just get anything into orbit. We have there is the 1st satellite from the Americans NASA wasn't even formed at this point but in January $1058.00 it was about 4 months 3 or 4 months after Sputnik they finally get a very small simple satellite you know nothing as impressive as like of the dogs that was kind of pale in comparison and this followed some very public embarrassment where they tried to launch a satellite and it just exploded on launch pad so. It took a while for them to get going nothing was formed less than a year after Sputnik in 1958 and then as they say the rest is history and I can hear people talking in the background we know we're talking to you from the National Space Center and Lester which I've been to loads of times because I'm a space afficionado and I really love it I love seeing the rockets you've got there the Soyuz cabin here the capsule how you marking this century the reason for the center being there today how you marking the anniversary absolutely So today's 60th anniversary of Sputnik we've got several talks you can actually hear one of the talks going to the school groups in visiting I think we got about 600 kids and today so we're showing kind of news footage from 1970 people can see what was on the news at the time you got talks under ours but Nick model so it's a full scale replica of the actual things you can actually see just how big it was and what it looked like and we're doing we're making some Sputnik crafts as well so it's a really fun day today Dr Somalia myself from the National Space Center in Leicester does some of the having a great day celebrating this diamond anniversary of the start of the space race will hear more about the history of Sputnik in a moment but 1st I do want to hear your stories is there a moment in space history you remember did you hide under the duvet with a short wave radio tuning into Sputnik 60 years ago was it Neil Armstrong's foot popping on to the moon is that a moment you remember what Helen Sharman Sheffield University resident local resident 1st person 1st British national not into space what are your space memories you can call a soda 1427 mandibles. This is. Before. That the Russians have put something into space that was going around the world and you could actually tune into it and listen to it why must have been absolutely mind blowing I've been speaking to Dr de Mello Marcio from the National Space Center in Leicester about whether space exploration still captures the imagination like that we had a fantastic year last year with Tim Peake course the British last night there was in space for 6 months on the international space station we saw definitely a Tim Peake effect where our numbers were just huge we had he was a rock star for loads and those are kids and they look at him and they want to be him they ask how do I be an astronaut which I think is fantastic it's wonderful to have that role model someone that you look at that I could be that person so I think that My Space is still very much an inspiration and we see it with the pace of technology today's space x. Is launching the landing rockets and flying them again so it's a really exciting time and they're talking about going to Mars within 567 years it sounds impossible but I suppose in 1950 if you'd said there'd be a satellite in 957 that would have sounded impossible to yeah what absolutely is the real legacy because it's no impossible for children to imagine a world without satellites and space technology but there are still people alive who can remember what the planets was like before you could instantly balance a television signal around the other side of the world virus satellite What is the legacy of Sputnik. Well you know as you say if we turned off all the satellites tomorrow the world would know because it's just integrated in everything we do from our communications on our t.v. To ours that now has them weather and everything really so you would know if the satellites just stopped working the legacy it's proving that that mankind can build things that are in space you know just breaking that barrier going above earth that misfire leaving Earth gravity when we wouldn't go on to the moon for the 1st time and it's it's just that consciousness that space is possible that exploration is possible in space big question it was part of the Cold War has it ended in peace does it result in better cooperation between countries. So I think the the I assess the International Space Station is a fantastic example of this even when tensions between Russia and the u.s. Are high as they have been maybe in the past few years. The I assess is a great example of international cooperation so even when maybe tensions are high down on Earth the ISIS has kept going and has done for the last 1617 years with no real issues you know you've got Russian nationals working alongside American national it's British national arts and people from all over the world it's a fantastic example of how space is actually not been turned to military uses as was feared at the time the Sputnik but actually it's there's international agreements that it's a peaceful realm What do you think would you like a ticket to the International Space Station or kind of sign you up for the the maybe low on the the lunar colony or colony of the Martian colony What are your space thoughts your space recollections your space memories have you seen any rocket launches either impersonal did you stay up all night to watch the coverage of the the Apollo rockets lifting off in America when they broadcast them early hours of the morning over here I want to hear your thoughts on space and a strong. Would you want to go into space if so why we've got some fantastic guests coming up in the program today Do tell me what you think 011-4279 double 6 double on the lovely Rob is on the phones he'll be delighted to speak to you or Texas 813 double 3 star you message with the word Sheffield things online players are you can . Do nothing given else Georgie sponsoring Radio Sheffield. Cheekily popped a few space tracks into the program today to shut up if you hit one. To be. Spicey. Coming up in the next. We're going to speak to the head honcho. News for. ya brace Thanks Tom 12 men from South Yorkshire have been charged with 40 for child sexual abuse offenses as part of the National Crime agency's operation stove what the charges relate to the sexual abuse of 8 girls under the age of 16 over a 5 year period from 1908 to 2003 Teresa Mayes keynote speech the Conservative Party conference in Manchester was interrupted after a man emerged from the audience and 100 what looked like a sheet of paper marked p. $45.00 the man was the school's it from the conference hall and trays and I was given a standing ovation cricketer shift tackle was today pleaded not guilty in court to 2 counts of sexual exposure the 23 year old was arrested in July in connection with 2 alleged incidents on a housing development in Mackworth in June and a 21 year old man is due to a paper shuttle magistrate stay charged with possession of class a drugs with intent to supply the Louboutins from Holt would road in Berne grief is also charged with possession of the knife and the weather this afternoon cloudy with Sherry outbreaks of rain especially more western areas a maximum temperature of 14 Celsius b.b.c. Radio Sheffield News talking space this afternoon have been tempted to blast. Well I do remember back in the early eighty's I think it was 981 I was watching a school and the teachers will this great big television into one of the Rhames and all the kids sat down and we were watching television and it was the launch of the space shuttle. That I'm getting the day it will be about possibly the very 1st session Yeah it was huge then because it looked a bit like a just a normal plane ever was very excited about it and I thought I think at that time well it won't be long before we all get blasted up and go into space I mean go on a plane great and you're still waiting I'm still waiting for my ticket we can we can have we can send you to space Ok to. Quit so before the day when the dog came a day when you're talking about space things. Because we are today on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield until half past 2 it's the 60th anniversary of Sputnik the very 1st satellite orbiting the planet making that famous beat beat beat sound that signaled the start of the space race still looking for your space memories you can text as an 813 double for a start your message with the word Sheffield but gosh I'm very excited about our next guest hugely excited to speak to a man who's witnessed the space race and is at the forefront of space exploration right now if you've ever been to chess share you can't miss the wonderful beautiful structure that is the joy drill bank radio astronomy telescope It towers above the landscape and it beckons you in like a beacon Tim O'Brien is the professor of astrophysics and associate director of bank I'm thrilled to say he joins us now good afternoon Dr Brian good afternoon and . Everyone will have seen it on the skyline What actually do you do there yeah it's a it's a radio telescope that most famous. Feature of the observatory here is the big telescope so it's it's 90 meter. I read us telescope day shoots a huge metal ball collects radio waves coming from outer space so we use it to to study the invisible University universe that we see if we all had sort of radio dishes for why it reaches the parts of the palace. It does exactly as we see it we see a completely different view things so you know of c.s.i. Thousands of years people look to the sky with their eyes about and seen the stars primarily in the planets but we said we seek to complete different things black holes for example in the distant universe extraordinary to think about that we're talking about Sputnik today and Jodrell Bank history is absolutely intertwined with Sputnik Why is that it's because the really the 1st thing that telescope did the level task of the big one and George Will the 1st thing it did was around this time 60 years ago it was nearing completion. Sputnik one was launched 60 years ago today and actually the Hubble the satellite itself you may have talked about already had this sort of radio transmitter that made a beep that was designed so that people could pick it up with very simple radio receivers at home what we were interested in and what the government were interested to clear the time was tracking the rocket carried Sputnik into spares so with the radar to track this rock as it was also all within the earth because it was it was a ballistic missile and the fear at the time was that the next thing that might be launched might be something rather more threatening like a like a nuclear warhead so the Russians came to your rescue then and turned this well I suppose unwelcome attention of the military on toward your scientific instrument but it did mean Jodrell Bank so to prove this place and survive yeah I mean that's right I mean you know nobody had built anything like this telescope in the world before it was it was 10 times larger than any previous radio telescope so it's a real a real jump into the into the or no or not and so over the period in the fifty's while they were building it they'd go. That gone massively over budget or not that time 60 years ago it was in serious danger of not being completed and it was the launch of Sputnik that provided the impetus and made the telescope world famous that I suppose means that we're still here today and there is and I didn't know this until I started digging around a connection to Sheffield isn't there can you just explain a bit more about the Earth yeah I mean the that that big telescopes called the Live move all telescopes named after Bernard Lovell who is the the astronomer who was in charge of the observatory but he worked very closely with a Sheffield engineer called Charles husband also knighted letters to Charles has been and he was a he was a bridge builder so it is on firm of consulting engineers best in Sheffield he was a bridge builder in love and he was the only one actually who when level was looking around after the war for someone to work with him on constructing this you know remarkable you know completely innovative will you know unique in the world instrument he was the only one that was prepared to stick his neck out and say Ok I'll give it a go which must have been terrifying because it's got to be precise to an unimaginable degree and yet it's huge and it's steered around on scaffolding How did they build it yeah I mean with with great difficulty they didn't have computers of course so they couldn't do so the computer aided design so it's all calculated on Slide rules a 100 or not been in the drawing rooms and in Sheffield. And and they learnt as they went along really so they made mistakes and they changed the d.n.i. Many times to to for various reasons you know some scientifical those just engineering challenges that became apparent as they started to so revere together this this amazing construction the steel came from Scunthorpe came from the steel works ensconce all this still the today was united steel structural that is now Tata Steel they all know that steel. So it's very much a sort of. You know real triumph of British science and engineering and it looks beautiful as well as the triumph of the aesthetics isn't it yeah I think it is a beautiful one design to be beautiful of course it was just a focus just functional you know it does it did the design is determined by what is intended to do scientifically but it is beautiful particularly on you know on the sunset behind it and you see this and this thing lit by the rays of the setting sun and silhouetted against the sky it's an amazing instrument it's still you know even 60 years on we've you know we've upgraded it a number of times over over the years but it's now are still a cutting edge scientific instrument still the world's 3rd largest steel telescope the biggest when it was finished only 3rd largest now and we hope you'll be around for many years to come it's a wonderful monument just to describe it for anyone who's never been over the penance to see it and if you haven't you really ought to go and see it because it is it just shows what we can do when we put our minds to it it's this this great big essentially putting Basin way trucks attached to a couple of times towers so it can go left and right it can tilt up and down and you can pointed pretty much anywhere in the sky which leads me to my stupid question of the day and I have a card which says I'm allowed to as one stupid question of the day and here it comes what does a professor of astrophysics do all day do you say why we're going to look at that bit of the sky go have a listen you chew into it in the New You just put headphones on and wait for 10 hours to. What happens well it's it did you know it's slightly more complicated that now but you know it's. That telescope is because it's so still you know very unusual in the world still when the world's leading telescopes is very much in demand from astronomers both households here the University of Manchester the operator but also that across the u.k. And indeed across the world it's connected up to the telescopes across England. Europe and across the planet so we link ourselves up with others to sort of form one giant telescope sometimes and people basically have to apply to use it so we you know we write we write a scientific case says why we're interested in particular phenomena and why observations with this telescope will will solve this problem you know. They are ranked against each other in something like usually typically 6 months ahead of time we would determine what we would be one of the must have programmed observations in a very and we fit those in around all of your usual constraints I mean we can operate 24 hours a day with a weather radio telescope if things that stock was high when on the one hand because the danger is if the poles tipped over it could slow down emerging which is the most worrying telescope control is when the wind gets up book you know the thing would be mentioned specially We also have to factor in maintenance work typically in the summer we when the days are longer and why they really ought to be that are we do we do big jobs on the telescope structure been a pleasure to speak to the south and thank you so much for your time go off and listen to the sky and when they might be make contact I suppose that's another subject a little gather isn't it but you'd be probably 1st to know about it we we do have a program where we were interested in looking for actually trust us yeah well we would get we would like you know yeah please or it will be cool number one active pick up the answer phone message Dr Tim O'Brien from Jodrell Bank a professor of astrophysics and they genuine pleasure to speak to him. But. Things. But. Good had a text in from. I remember in the early 1960 s. a Group called the Sputniks they appeared on t.v. In spacesuits I bet that was hot under the lights I also remember the tornadoes recorded an instrumental called Telstar after the satellite Yeah I remember Telstar as well I wonder if we've got that we should get Telstar to give that a spin about the tornadoes the tornadoes yet they've not had any any royalties from playing Telstar for a while have that we should get out and do them a favor next on the line we're talking to a man who essentially by the sound of it is an astronaut collect any He's had a twinkle in his eyes well ever since he heard about the space program and he's brought many of the Apollo era astronauts over to Sheffield soon after new Nigel who brought to Sheffield and why oh well I brought a few of us astronaut the mission controllers actually so some of the guys stayed on the ground and tracked the astronauts during the Apollo flights still the people who made it happen Yeah absolutely yeah I mean I'd love to become astronauts over there sadly getting a bit elderly now so hard to do and where did you find your love of space your connection to it I kind of accidentally met one of the Apollo 13 astronauts one time a long time ago and when I was at a hotel in Heathrow and its story was fascinating so I came home and read up on it . I'd only been interested in space but not so much the actual exploration of it I grew up on a place where many street lights got to see the stars every night which is which just reflecting which astronaut did you meet. Most of the now so specific astronaut was Fred Hayes played by Bill Paxton in the movie Apollo 13 I was going to say which that wasn't Tom Hanks It was Jim Lovell But Fred Yeah the story must be extraordinary Yes indeed said I was got to meet Jim Lovell as well and then you know they all have amazing stories they're great people do you think space is a bully thing particularly home or is it doesn't want to everyone know everyone every everyone from everywhere everyone I've ever spoken to who I've event ever been to it's not you know it's not any one type of person it's just everyone and especially like it's incredibly important to get young girls interested into it as well because. They've got. They were great role models Eileen Collins the 1st shall command the marshal command they got Sally Ride American banks banking a terrorist over the 1st woman in space back in 60 but there's some there's something for everyone absolutely and it still continues to fascinate today with a sentry the public being able to start putting deposits down for potentially space flights in the near future and I understand you've been to the competition to go into space I did a lot of long time ago if you remember a link they haven't deodorant they run a competition but I think it's a blast off no I don't think the winner of that competition even got the black stuff so. Would you would you go if we could is going to cost a fair few pounds when it when it starts isn't that service a space for its space tourist would you go and they will I would I would I would consider it yeah I'm not I'm perfectly fine stand on a looking at space and thinking about it but you know if I get to go that be great but I'm not on the home address how do indulge your passion and I understand you're writing a book yeah. Well I'm always doing something with it I guess but yeah I am writing a book. That's because so many people told me to really I want to do about as such about some of the astronauts during the Apollo program who didn't go to the moon but what kind of instrumental in getting people to the moon some of the astronaut support the stum by men yet they were kind of like the backup backup but it's an old story. Very interesting one is there an Apollo astronaut coming to town soon I thought I read somewhere that indeed yes early next Saturday we've got a warden who was on a pole a 15 mission is coming to Sheffield's than I do like I mean great it's very exciting Absolutely and people I guess still queue up to shake an astronaut by the hand yeah certainly when I got to meet Buzz Aldrin the key was you know around the building. Every time why do you think do you think children still look at I guess in the fifty's when Sputnik blasted off and in the early sixty's and people going into space people have looked at us and yes that is a career I could be an astronaut to children today did you think they still regard it as a career path for want of a better way that's what I think I've got no no choice really one of the many options open to them you know wasn't in the past but it's it's interesting for sure I mean my kid are young but they love watching rocket launches and I think it's an inspiring thing to watch and it's kind of an example of things that it's a piece of thing that we can all do together it's you know it's not something that really is exploited for you know. If you get me just have you been to see a rocket launch. I went out to Canada Space Center and no long time ago maybe 2011 it was for the. Launch of the Mars rover Curiosity rover but it was delayed and I missed. The backups in the rock out of the pad and everything that was incredible just to just see the rocket so well maybe when people start going to Mars you can actually get to see a rocket take off yeah you know one day one day speaks you keep dreaming space dreams. That's not what So you're also going to bring the body pump bring it back up and. Go show bacon with. The same when you sing that song even with my big fat. Ass Edward snuff you can. Let's talk about games and tell the producers that if I asked you to jump out of that a plane would you say yes you say this is going to jump and that that would be casting to South Yorkshire. And make a guess. That was not in any He's been to Cape Canaveral he's met astronauts and so has John from Chesterfield John what's it like to go and visit when the rockets take off well absolutely fantastic I mean if. We did it. More or less everything I think. I mean when you look at the Gary for instance who had a rocky 'd. The flag on the side of that is you can get so many horses. Down the side I love it even the space program is measured in London buses What else do you get to see on top Well we went to the rocky garden where you know there were numerous rocky then in the past we went this. Big massive. Critical it workshop the Apollo the full Apollo rock it was there from one end to end you stood behind this and went to the other end this little thing on the firm where they the guys. Presumably. Get it and Elf I'm guessing you remember the Apollo missions I do well do you in fact ICICI she just a few College of Art and one of my projects that with the students we did. A sign with the Apollo 11 on it and we screamed printed their rockets in and things and also said things that you actually get to see a rocket launch notebook we went in. They sure cool we went inside the shuttle and stood inside a ship or went in there aka God And honestly I mean I have got lots and lots of photographs kind of ironic shots of all these what I'm talking about they're absolutely stunning I mean if anybody ever wants to see them. It sounds like something you see in a child's own adventure on you when you're growing up we we actually we stood on this gantry where they stood and then one of the older it was one of the l. Ners I think that put that and looking down onto the ground nothing to do rockets but we still an armadillo and it was. Down there where there were eagles got golden eagles and alligators and all sorts of things so let me speak to you thank you so much for calling it sounds like a wonderful visit to the Kennedy Space Center. So your memories of space 3 doubles 3 stony message with the word Sheffield. minister who was interrupted 1st by a prankster and then by a prolonged Call think that So the government would invest an additional $2000000000.00 pounds to fund a new generation of council houses she also announced plans to cap energy prices to stop suppliers punishing loyal customers the most loyal customers are often those with lower incomes the elderly people with low of qualifications and people who rent their homes that's why next week this government will publish a draft bill to put a price cap on energy bills meeting our manifesto promise and bring an end to rip off energy prices once and for.

The 5 day weather forecast on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield and it comes from Lisa Gallagher a fair amount of cloud this afternoon with a scattering of showers becoming heavier more frequent while the end of the day and temperatures around 13 or 14 degrees with a freshening wind now the rain will become heavy through this evening and at 1st light clearing away to the south was dormant the wind will strengthen further and we do have a matter of his warning for the strength of the wind tonight strong as a gale force westerly winds temperatures down to around 9 or 10 degrees a much brighter day tomorrow with plenty of sunshine a chance of the odd shower the wind staying strong and gusty and temperatures around 14 degrees the wind will eat out for Friday sunny through the morning cloudy through the afternoon and then unsettled again a for the weekend there's more weather online at b.b.c. Case flash field. Tolling goal b.b.c. Radio show. Where the softly we are talking space it is all about this sound. Of all. The work being. Given to. Lonely on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield this is Tom eagle sitting in for Rowley Robinson families and having a lovely time on holiday we are talking space have your books ready because I think it's about to get quite technical don't put you off but we're going to pay attention we'll celebrate your space on the show today because it's 60 years since the launch of Sputnik that was the 1st satellite to orbit the Earth and on the subject of space yeah we crowbar in this and you might have heard a lot of talk in the news about gravitational waves 3 American scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize for physics and detecting gravitational waves and they've had a fair bit of help from our next guest who's a scientist from Sheffield University from the physics department it is Dr adore Good afternoon you're right I'm fine so Ok what is a gravitational wave Ok so most of the time when you think about waves you think about something you can see moving up and down back and forth maybe the surface ripples on water on a pond or canal but you can also it turns out and this is Einstein's ideas about 100 years old have waves in the space time which objects like ponds and cows are embedded so space and time itself can vibrate might be lost already so what does this tell us well the fact that you can detect these waves like a has succeeded in directly detected them with its very sensitive detectors confirms Einstein's idea teachers are that space time is a dynamic object that also just as importantly teaches us about the sources which causes these ripples to happen because just like in order to make ripples on a canal you have to chuck a bottle in or something like that in order to make gravitational waves something has to drop into space time violently and that something is something like 2 black holes colliding which is in it or so. Really powerful event that happened a very long way away a very long time ago and by studying the ways we can learn about these cataclysms and helps us do science you talked about dynamic there does that mean the gravitational waves are passing through us right now yes and so the good news is does not mean that at certain points the day I have a little bit slimmer than the other part of the day when I'm fatter if there are Brazil part of the day where I weigh a little less because the gravity is coming through maybe it helps you sleep better yes you can say that I haven't even got to go on a diet. But you can imagine it's not a large effect do you have to spoil it that I'm sorry where does your interest in science and space and space time of gravity come from well I started getting interested in space and gravity when I heard it talked on a conference in Colorado when I was just halfway through my Ph d. And I heard this talk about gravitational waves by a man who's now retired called Gary Sanders and I was it was a mesmerizing talk to me because I realized that there was this whole new technique reserving the universe which hadn't actually succeeded yet which to look to me looked as if it was going to succeed in my lifetime and so I joined up I signed up soon as I could so you came to it quite late then well I was probably about 24 now I'm 47 I was being carried. So you know I spent 20 years of my life working on Gravitational Wave Research in collaboration with this like go large group of collaborating bodies or think of a like a scientific collaboration in about 86 groups involved in collaboration so it's really a big science project a question I never thought I'd get to ask of one of my guests what was it like then to not quite win the Nobel Prize but to being part of the team that wins the Nobel Prize it's really wonderful I mean I can't and I wouldn't want to be vulgar for me to try and take more than my share of credit or a large share bear in mind or 1000 the 6 authors on the Discovery paper but to realise a lot except you spielers if firstly that you've contributed to something that matters and that. Stand the test of time and secondly as if you've been a good sort of team player I know that's a management jargon which people get tired of but the fact is science nowadays has to be done in large teams because the projects are so complicated and other projects like for instance projects in the space race things like launches of satellites require equally large number of scientists who got to work together it's not always easy for scientists to work in teams and if you exceed in doing that that can give you some satisfaction to where do you go next what do you want to look at next what you want to work on next and is that a case of you sitting down with a light bulb moving Oh yes that would be a good thing to investigate I've got a few things on the boil my group at the University of Sheffield is doing more gravitational wave research trying to help improve that it actors as the power in the lasers is turned up the detectors get more sensitive to some things called instabilities we're working on fighting that affects other detectors will work at higher power and also involved in a project looking for a dark matter candidate called the x.e. On this is actually work I've been doing since before I joined the gravitational wave program and we've got some projects involving using aspects of our work to solve problems in medical physics and finally to solve problems in driving electric motors so it's a very wide range of projects but the core science is all the same sort of stuff in words of one syllable what is dark matter right so when you look at galaxies you see something looks a bit like matter that shines going down a path of a sort of a spiral shape of matter it is about 100000000000 stars in a galaxy but it turns out that all of this spiraling matter that you can see is imbedded in non-visible matter that we don't know what it is and there's various ideas to what is matter might be we know it's there because it effects the way to gravity that the way to galaxy moves but finding out what it is is quite important because it's rather embarrassing that we don't understand what more than 95 percent of the matter in the universe actually is and what it is that determines our understanding of cosmology and how the universe has got where it is today and where it's going. It's future so it's another outstanding basic science problem and I happen to think dark matter might be axioms and so this is why I've stayed involved in this project so you're staking your claim to it straightaway let me ask you about another University of Sheffield of alumnus Helen showmen of course 1st British astronauts into space is it important that we still keep grounded and there's that human inspiration about our space conquest Well space is immensely important don't forget that virtually everything we know about the large scale climate of the earth about observing the temperature rise quantifying things like melting of polar ice caps the information that indicates that we've got a problem environmentally much of that data is like gleaned from carefully developed satellites with carefully developed instruments on them so whatever you think about the importance of things like sending people to Mars the fact is without space based instrumentation we really we wouldn't even really know there was a climate problem for example and lots of other things like that but surely some of the basic explosion is best done with the Mark one humanoid ball isn't that. You certainly can do a lot with with careful observations on earth but that doesn't mean that you can't do a lot more with technology based in space are stick with my position we we have to keep doing this stuff it is important and it's important that Britain has a part in it so we have quite a well developed space program in Britain people don't really often realise that because there aren't any rockets taking off from here but that's not the only thing I'm developing satellite instrumentation and space based sensors and instrumentation is something that Britain is good at briefly you have got in the notes your mum remembers Sputnik was that tuning into the big big b. I don't think they actually did that but Sputnik was designed essentially as a public relations exercise and so it was a highly polished aluminum sphere so just like the glitterball on an old fashioned dance floor when you shine a light on it from one direction it scatters light in all directions and so it does it's designed to maximize visibility in fact if I'm told you. Even see it in the daytime if you knew where to look because the sunlight shining off the shiny ball it was close enough in very close earth orbit that you could actually make it out even in a day and at night it was very easy to see if you knew where to look are still funny quite extraordinary because you can stand in your backyard and watch the International Space Station pass overhead can't you on certain evenings looking in the right direction the other interesting thing is there's a very interesting and subtle connection between early rocket launches and lie go in that one of the big problems with getting satellites up into space was controlling the rocket as it went up into the atmosphere and there are multiple things that can go wrong that the rocket can go try and go in many directions which he shouldn't go and so it's a multi input multi output control problem and exactly the same type of controller that you need to make Sputnik getting to the right orbit you also need to steer the optics in the lie detectors to stop them pointing in the wrong direction and it's even the same mathematics and you know that mathematics was actually invented in Russia by a man called the up and up and some other clever people and so it's an interesting connection ally go just remind us one more time that's the group you're working with that's the laser interferometric Gravitational Wave observatory and as a group of over a 1000 scientists at lots of institutions around the world working on that project I'm not going to ask you to spell it Dr adore Thank you ever so much for coming in this afternoon great to speak to you I think I might need a little lie down in the dark room 1st Ok There's no test is that well you just told me I'm going to lose weight because of my failure it's been good to type Come on thought I've managed to solve some of your health problems and I'll come again if you ask me I'm very happy listening to b.b.c. Now 60 years ago today it was this sound that got everyone talking. Is the sound of Sputnik the very very 1st satellite launched by the Soviet Union for thought Tobar 95760 years ago today I have been asking you all day if your memory is linked to space whether it was various rocket launches you remember seeing on the telly we had John from Chesterfield telling us about his visit to Cape Canaveral which sounds absolutely fascinating or do you remember like my next guest the very 1st time you were introduced to space I've been talking to Sue Silva from the Chesterfield Astronomical Society she became fascinated with space after her uncle gave her a book all about the promise for about 6 or 7. Children to remember the time when it was called something very simple plan. I mean there were just pictures in there they would be photographed today they weren't photographed then they would be paintings. In a to me within a few days I knew all the planets and just a sort of triggered a big interest. The set the same a little Also the telescope that was always interested in and he would ensure that I went down to his house and had a look at the moon and he was showing me parts of the moon and so it really from from from there mainly from early childhood and then it really lay dormant after that for quite some years when you you know. You blasting Tristram it all just life gets busy I think he's when. You get a little bit older teenagers think possible. They are better things to do we probably don't think we do so when he starts stargazing again most of thing. He said to me was always there he just lay dormant and I was the stuff at about 1520 years ago again which are obviously older and perhaps a bit more money to enable me to take up this hobby again so is it easy to get started with oh you talked a little bit about money that I'm guessing you're going to need some sort of telescope you know well. Yeah this is it is a bit of a minefield when you 1st start in the standard because there are different fonts telescopes which will make the wing better than the sim for the sky objects or for planning. Various things not so if we always tell people. You know the risk of sounding whistle in the observatory the best thing for them to do is to join an observatory Okamoto nobs which on a good night because of the observatory we have an assortment of very good telescopes all different and they will be able to look through those and see what they can see and then they can start working out from that what type of telescope I a they can afford or b. Which takes them where they want to go so you control even for you by. The 5th What is the typical Malita the observatory consist of them what do you look for new things do you look for old things or is it just what happens the whole interview with the right moment. And the laughter I think I mean there are some nights when some of the members go there when there's a comet around or something they they look for that specifically on a Friday night sound members not suddenly we welcome visitors you know to come and have a look through the telescope because we have a huge telescope up there and I think if you've been before you probably will of seeing that I went to look north once and I remember it being quite a sophisticated subtly excusing from them it's a society certainly it was a. Big piece of kit in this white dome in the parts isn't there where you where the telescope pokes through a new look out into the night sky but if I wasn't coming for work I can just drop just as a member of the public coming yeah oh is encouraged people to come up you know and have a big telescope because if they look through that big telescope it really does have the wow factor. Is it is still operationally so still very gone still in that dome . People really do get a better idea of what they can actually see I mean we have many groups of children to the observatory over the winter period they come up with sort of groups of guides Scouts brownies you name it we have many we're already very well booked up in November with with groups of children who were there any great so 60 is on after spot make it still fascinates by the sound of it it just fascinates me. You know when I've got my own stuff at home as well but it's still great you know the. Excitement of finding something new not a not a difficult subject that finding something you want to say and then you know having a look at it to you know your own telescope or one of the observer to say we have a fair assortment of quite well stocked with different telescopes and is absolutely brilliant that was Sue Silva from the Chesterfield Astronomical Society now there observatory on Hastings close is open to the public every Friday from 8 o'clock I've been full of North E.D.'s fascinating even if you've just got the remotest passing interest in space it's a clear night to go along there have a look they might show you some plant some some stars and who knows a hobby might be born you can get more details about the Astronomical Society on their website Chesterfield hyphen 8 s.

Thanks. Wake up with so before every story in the papers Today's a bloke who's a smoker who comes over the rocky Gulf when the dog 2 doctors told him Jamie Lawson. Can't see straight when I'm thinking about you from many other people it's normally another cause that means they can't see straight we are about to bare or with a baritone singer Jane Dodds with from high schools in Sheffield she's in her sixty's but says she feels 19 we can all relate to that she describes herself as warm a mic and a record I'm sure we should get on to all of those she's going to tell us about a special day looking for clams on a beach in southern Brittany and why she hates baby talk but 1st Jane are you ready for our quick fire questions. We'll give it a go Ok trip into space dream come true or total nightmare. Everything seaweed. Favorite stretch of water. Guilty pleasure. No yes favorite tipple. Something you ever been seasick you've traveled a bit. And last letter you received. From the bank or something nice or. No. You don't get that is very often these days I've had letters from that's an interesting people that occur in and talk about that favorite song to sing and oh you're a singer. After the med Alaca pursuit of Mecca and was the last thing you made could be in the kitchen or cook a cook so what do you make the last time we cooked this mornin and it all sounds lovely sounds fantastic Jane let's That's the quick fire well done you passed on let's get on with the singing which I think is why you're here really I know you're really passionate about singing Who do you sing with as sing we shuffle Sheffield harmony chorus Ok and I have to confess I've not heard of them so who are they and what sort of stuff is in the repertoire Well we're an acapella grow up and there's lots of things we're doing at the weekend we're doing the show actually with the hallmark of harmony the men's group because we've both been around for 40 is 40 years I think since they were founded So we're doing a big concert was sang here on Saturday some others and percent lots of different songs but so you're in the the the the common people yes are you from to and how was that did you enjoy it. And be aligned if I said that did a really big you know it wasn't what we expected but we stayed the day and at the end of the day when they all came together it was well worth it I haven't had a chance to hear it yet and I know I'm really looking forward to hearing it will be turning up for the video I think we're still looking for people to take part in the video for to celebrate our 50th birthday. Glad rags on and come and dance for us why he did sing become important to you in your life one of my mom was a singular And I mean she used to sing all the time even when we were little she'd said What do you want feedin are and things like that and they read she'd get up and sing anywhere inaccurate member going to say musical she loves films and music culture Miletus sister in a pram I mean and this is no exaggeration we would go at least once a week really oh yeah so we were brought up singing Doris Day and everything can be dad was a drinker so we used to go in pubs and mimesis. Sing and dance on tables that sounds extraordinary So which pops Oh was it anywhere or if you went on holiday can talent contest there was there was a pub in Sheffield. Oh my mother Elaine Bush is not here anymore but she did this it was called the Silver Slipper and it was at the top of Sunderland straight opposite where the van pull business and if we went to there in an afternoon to my grandma's we always had to cross over the road because it was a den of iniquity she was. Good people that you know when there they didn't have gamblin and people used to come up from market I can remember mending camel coats and their floozies she used to say. I can remember when we were little and I don't know our dad got in there in this club and we sang on the stage and a mother went ballistic What what do you think I remember what we used to sing mama is making eyes at me and around the world all those sorts of things with all the action Staples Yeah and then I went to a very musical I went to a pass middle of plus and I went to Grange grammar and I'm music teacher Miss Williams was fantastic and she brought the I was in I was in Sheffield choir when I was little I was in the magical group at school and she was just fabulous is singing obviously still a huge part of your life is going to see other people sing Are you a concert goer or do you still want to go to calls will love and I was been to me love going to tramlines and Liverpool square listing to the Jazz we love that live on and yeah we do like going to concerts but. We like local people do not see local talent developed in the not as possible way you've your local talent when you grow up you play the circuit in Sheffield lonely as the gallery and there's this song that we sing in our Saturday night together I'm not going to tell you what it is but I think that it's Can I plug it in yes of course Firth who. Well the university and if that if there are tickets left you can get them on the door but oh gosh there won't be a dry dry eye in the house everybody it's fabulous sounds wonderful So music is important to you you've mentioned family a couple of times already families important to you as well why is that because I love. You in particular Well I love my children and I do all my grandchildren I love me or spend and so it's just. It's a life in the lives I have in front of me you mention your grandfather your grandfather being a World War One veteran who helped to keep the family together what did he mean by that well. He said some dealings in Spy achievement actually I mean that could've came upon from a very family of strong women but he was so quiet and he was the one we lived with my grandparents men and granddad by member little and he was the one that was or was there and every Sunday it publishes she was for school this plimsolls and. He. You went to him never to they never did speak about it when he went to war he only had one I lost design an accident when he was 11. And I've since found out he was a dispatch rider which was quite a dangerous job on a motor back and I know after the war he went to a lot of convalescent homes and I think his new sofa dreadfully but it was a good man and it was so quiet and honestly it was always the person in the background and when he. You know either you still always say for politics the ballot box a secret ballot box I always remember that men died for that vote and your personal vote and I always remember you most for it and. It was just such a good man he sounds quite a traditional man is that something that you passed down today. I don't know about Traditionally he always had a little while yours under where scorn of watching a little little leather pouch with 10 shillings in and he used to lend it to people if they were you know she said don't tell Mabel that was mean and she was quite forceful woman and when he died all of Chesterman where you were at all is life turned out and lined the road down from orange straight and you see in those days nobody know and the funeral cars went all the way round a misstatement at the end they missed that. But it was a good good man it was one of those people that always was there never made a song and dance about things tell us about the piece of music you've chosen this afternoon Well it's difficult because I've got quite an eclectic taste is that right yes that's what we all of a bit of news of everything and there was one song I was going to choose because I'm a man but I've had a little word with and she's Ok with this one it's a piece of music that one said that if you. Listen to a piece of opera that make she cry it's not it's just cry and happy Act I never listen to it with that I'm in tears and I just think it's absolutely beautiful just introduce it for us oh gosh I forgot it written down. I can't spell oh oh oh me oh me oh Bambino Katla from put Cheney. Do. You. Sue so. You. Do lose. Lose. 6 her shoes. Was and was. And that's why it's a pleasure to be on b.b.c. Radio Sheffield because you get to stop and just play that for 2 or 3 minutes that was an absolutely beautiful piece of music chosen by Jane dogs with who you're listening to our guest on Behring all this afternoon Jane we've talked a lot about music and we've talked a bit about your family again in the notes I have travel seems to come through really importantly and you mention a special day on the bridge a beach in Brittany what was that. Oh it was just such a lovely happy day and I just you know we go on holiday with that one a miss sons and his 2 boys need wife and. We usually fall out me and Nicholas one you know. Joke a she but this particular time we were in Britain a and we went picking clams and I'm not an outdoor person I thought Oh God I've got to go along you know to do this I'm not going well we went on this beach and I can see it now and it was just so calm and lovely and all these French people and we just got book it's and we walked Tatton it was just search one of the most loveliest days so peaceful and we collected them and then we came back and we caught them and oh I love there is not just a memory to hold very special of a sort of special place to go to when life gets you down or do you have got loads of memories of how to live live to live a full life but it is a lovely memory and you said that with a twinkle in your eye that makes me immediately well. Tell me another memory. That she imagined me and was actually a twinkle in there go on that well it's going back to music together actually but one of my friends who I went to school with sings in a. Very high falutin thing and I went to see her and our old history teacher was singing with her and she said to read mistress Thomas just will you remember don't you she was a naughty skin screamer and I said I wasn't such says Tell me what your name was dare. So I said to Jane slate and she said you were the new artist girl and you almost had a twinkle in your eye I don't know that we love. That you can put it on the symbiont couldn't you thought of the top let me know just girl in the school had a lovely twinkle just teletext in front of the general who said Good afternoon Tom what a beautiful piece of music and a great choice by your guest today one of my favorites Doug I thoroughly agree Well it was I mean we did sit down and go still and listen to it but I was going to saying to Jane that if I had to pick a piece of opera I know it's a great big cliché but I would I would pick Nessun Dorma because that's another before executed and you get that last note and that has on the neck just go right up into thinking yes it's a beautiful piece of music isn't it music is very important to you in your life if I was to write the Fantasy concert for you we were going to choose a running order of songs together putting on the spot what would what would you want to be singing. I want to be singing and I don't know the same you know listening I don't know it's such a I mean I'm from I'm like I'm a girl 6 does not love all you know time the more town and a level west coast American groups and our current. Doris Day's music and I've really got an eclectic so I couldn't really answer that straight Our fans are anything really I'd love to perform or to listen to. Both I like. I'm not to create performer but I do love singing in my chorus. You know. The 1st is collected a lot of friends as you've travelled and you've got a friend in Spain have a new family throws their rose there we've been friends since we were 21 and era. Cattle it's actually it's in the press at the moment it's quite sad but yeah we've we've been going over there for 4035 years now and we've had lots Bruce and I've had lots of for the years teenage Is this common live with this through the summer holidays to get to know Sheffield and we go out there to with Joe twice a year so when I fly into Barcelona or a OS It's like going home and we did have a whole much live there really Yeah but we've just sold it because of apart from my grandchildren they're a big part of Matt what do you make of what's happening in Catalonia sings you know the area well off on draws arrow ponced So tonight it was wasn't it. How it was sad because the police went into a little hamlet near there call Mama new and it's so lovely so tiny and these old people living you think why and then she said they went into their little school which I know well and they all start to sing in and they lock the doors Fortunately the police didn't come to them so they were safe I just think it's very sad I think this should be allowed to vote with. This but will not get political but we will go there again don't change the area of oh no no I should definitely and Sygate and Etienne who bought our house we've still in contact with family it went south but we made great friends with the military at the side so we'll still be going so you sold the house and kept the friends back yeah that is a good. And how important is your friendship with your Spanish friend. Rose they're very important if I had to choose her as a friend I would think no never because she's about 8 still wet through lack of becoming diverge she's quiet to she's totally different to me but we get on so well when know each other very well does it all in time do you choose her or do you choose the husband the husband. Very good that I know you're going to bottle it to say the grandchildren as a tactic to get them going to say I'm not chilled that limits that. Your love your grandchildren is doing what are their names. And I'll do it in. A Georgia rock Josh Betty in. Wynnie William chill Molly Iris and I'm a kid I thought you got to really figure. If you remember the ball Yeah but that's a heck of a family isn't it that's really big one of the things I noticed on your questionnaire as you hate baby talk about all grown up no I don't.
