    Jonathan Lun

    On this episode of the TechCentral podcast, we chat to South African space engineer Jonathan Lun about being named winner of Singularity University’s Global Impact Challenge Southern Africa for 2017.

    As part of his prize, Lun will travel to the California, where he will interact with some of the world’s greatest minds to create moonshot innovations, with a focus on climate change.

    Lun, who has a PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of the Witwatersrand — where his dissertation focused on “plasma thrusters” (vacuum arc technology) — won the prize for an audacious plan to use the metals in asteroids in order to bring them to Earth where they can then be mined for rare materials.

    Listen as Lun explains how his solution works and why it’s needed. Also in the podcast, he talks about his involvement, through Denel’s Spaceteq — where he is a senior engineer — helping build government’s flagship EO-Sat1 Earth observation satellite. It’s a great listen!

    How to subscribe to TechCentral’s podcasts

    There are many ways to enjoy TechCentral’s podcasts, beyond simply streaming them from our website. A good way is by subscribing to them using an app on your phone, allowing you to listen in the car, at the gym or wherever you happen to be.

    The TechCentral Podcast RSS feed is available via iono.fm. Note that this is a separate feed to the weekly TalkCentral podcast, the RSS for which is available here. If you’d like both podcasts in one RSS feed, that’s here.

    Use the RSS feeds to subscribe to either podcast (or both podcasts) in your favourite reader (we recommend Pocket Casts for Android, iOS and Windows Phone — look for “TechCentral” in its search engine to find both shows).

    We are also available through iTunes. Simply open the iTunes app on your iPhone and search for “TechCentral” to find the two podcasts.  — (c) 2017 NewsCentral Media
