In the first half, Robert Zimmerman, a science journalist and historian, discussed the anniversary of the original Apollo Moon landing on July 20, 1969, as well as the latest news on the space projects of billionaires Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk. Blue Origin launched its historic first crewed mission earlier in the day, flying Bezos and three other passengers (including 82-year-old female aviation pioneer Wally Funk) into suborbital space and back. Starting in September, there are privately-funded orbital missions scheduled for practically every month, Zimmerman marveled, with some selling tickets to wealthy citizens. These include SpaceX flights for a company called Axiom, which is planning to build space hotel modules (initially attached to the ISS).

SpaceX, he continued, is in the process of finishing its reusable Starship rocket (estimated to cost between $3-6 billion, all privately funded), and is pushing for its first orbital flight before the end of the summer. While it's been a disappointment we haven't been back to the moon since the Apollo missions, Zimmerman commented, that's about to change over the next 15 years, "and we'll be returning to the moon in great numbers." On the subject of Mars, he noted that three different rovers are now operating there, including one from China. The rover Curiosity has recently been returning breathtaking images of mountains and foothills. One of the new revelations about Mars is that it's not really a dry planet but more like Antarctica-- with a very icy environment. Zimmerman also gave updates on Venus, the recently restarted Hubble telescope, and the Juno mission at Ganymede.

In the latter half, emotional clearing expert, practicing exorcist, and professional psychic Jeffrey Seelman talked about the increase in demonic and negative spirits, and how they manifest destructive forces in individuals and dwellings. Deceased spirits on the Other Side who experienced a lot of negativity while alive may not have changed much in the afterlife, he disclosed, and consequently continue to have conflicts and turmoil. "Because we cannot see negative spirits, we are open to attack and manipulation on an emotional level," Seelman continued. They do this by generating a lot of energy related to fear and anger. People don't realize that these emotions originate with these spirits rather than themselves, he explained.

Sometimes negative spirits, motivated by not getting what they wanted while alive, use telepathy to encourage us to do things we wouldn't normally do, he detailed. At this time, Seelman believes there is a great effort by demonic and harmful spirits to try and push humanity over the edge of a cliff. Further, he warned, there is a coordinated agreement of various spirits of different power levels to "band together to affect really negative changes." To counteract this, he recommends that people show kindness toward one another (especially to those we disagree with) as this helps to weaken the power of the hostile entities. Energy techniques and protection exercises can also be useful, he said, such as visualizing a mirror that surrounds us and lets in positive energy but keeps out negative emanations.
