Nick Roome and Barry Kirby share updates including a recap Barry’s EHF conference highlights. They discuss Stanford’s 2026 AI Index and an MIT Tech Review report on agentic AI in software engineering, focusing on rapid adoption, the “jagged frontier” where AI excels on benchmarks yet fails basic tasks, and human factors issues like trust calibration, workload, supervision, permissions, and accountability in human-AI teaming. This Week in Aerospace is back to talk about NASA’s Routine Autonomous Multi-Aircraft Operations (RAM AO) work to enable small teams managing large autonomous fleets, including interventions/exception taxonomies, Monte Carlo modeling to justify safe human-to-vehicle ratios, and the need for industry consensus standards to support future FAA regulation.Support us:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscastBuy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcastMerchandise Store: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/Human Factors Cast Socials:Join us on Discord: https://go.humanfactorscast.media/DiscordTwitch: https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscastTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCastOur official website: www.humanfactorscast.mediaReference:Our tools and software: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/resources/Our Ethics Policy:https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/ethics-policy/Logo design by E Graphics LLC: https://egraphicsllc.com/Music by Kevin McLeod: https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/Feedback:Have something you would like to share with us?

    E319 - Turns out Space is still a Human Factors Problem
    Apr 17 2026
    Episode Link: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/319This week on the show we discuss Artemis II’s 10-day crewed mission around the Moon as a major milestone and a human factors reality check. From core issues of living and working in Orion’s cramped space—limited privacy, disrupted sleep, fatigue, team dynamics, autonomy, tight workload, and the gap between engineering readiness and human readiness—to post-landing physical effects and recovery logistics. We examine NASA’s communications and public transparency, including live visuals, commentary, and openness about problems. Specific incidents include a clogged/frozen wastewater vent line that was fixed by orienting the capsule toward the Sun, and a crew email issue involving two versions of Outlook.View the full article here: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/blog/artemis-ii-and-human-factors-in-deep-space/Support us:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscastBuy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hfactorspodcastMerchandise Store: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/Store/Human Factors Cast Socials:Join us on Discord: https://go.humanfactorscast.media/DiscordTwitch: https://twitch.tv/HumanFactorsCastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscastTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCastOur official website: www.humanfactorscast.mediaReference:Our tools and software: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/resources/Our Ethics Policy:https://www.humanfactorscast.media/p/ethics-policy/Logo design by E Graphics LLC: https://egraphicsllc.com/Music by Kevin McLeod: https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/Feedback:Have something you would like to share with us?
