Human Factors Cast

Episode Link: https://www.humanfactorscast.media/319 This 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.

Nick Roome and Barry Kirby discuss NASA’s Artemis program overhaul, including a 2028 target for the first crewed lunar landing, added testing to reduce risk from complex first-time operations, a 2027 mission placing at least one lunar lander into low Earth orbit, and testing Axiom Space’s new spacesuit, alongside reflections on safety culture, organizational decision-making, public trust, and trade-offs of higher launch cadence. Our second story is on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory generating 800,000 automated change alerts in one night (with a goal of 7 million), framing it as an information-overload and alert-management problem requiring filtering, metadata, and effective human–machine collaboration, with implications for democratized access and expectation setting.

This week on Human Factors Cast, Nick Roome and Barry Kirby dive into how AI is reshaping human factors and UX roles. First, we discuss seven emerging jobs due to AI, such as AI decision auditor and transparency designer. We debate which roles are actually new versus functions human factors professionals already perform. Then, we explore the implications of AI in creative fields and education. How should we adapt our teaching methods to integrate AI as a tool rather than a substitute? Plus, real-world examples of how AI changes jobs rather than eliminates them. If you're involved in human factors, UX, or system design, this is a must-listen for integrating AI into your work and the critical importance of AI governance and ethics.

Join us in our latest episode of Safe and Effective, where we dive headfirst into the wild and wonderful world of integrating agile development methodologies into HF (Human Factors) and UX (User Experience) research operations, with none other than our friend, favorite human, and podcast bestie, Nick Roome. We kick things off by tackling age-old questions, such as: how to start HF/UX research operations from scratch? And how to integrate agile development methodologies into it. With a lot of humor and a whole lot of real-world examples, Nick and Heidi walk you through the early stages of setting up HF/UX research operations, as well as how to optimally integrate agile development methodologies into it. Covering the most critical first steps, whilst avoiding some of the more common pitfalls to increase the chances of a “smooth launch,” Nick, a super seasoned expert with a rich background and years of hands-on experience in the field of agile HF and UX research operation functions, shares invaluable insights and tips and tricks not only on how to set up a successful research ops function within an organization, but also how to successfully integrate agile methodologies, such as SCRUM, into it. Whether you are part of a startup or an established organization looking to embed HF/UX research into your product development process, this episode is your blueprint. Packed with practical advice, you'll leave feeling equipped to tackle the challenges of integrating agile processes with your research operations. Fair warning: when two neurodivergent minds like Nick and Heidi come together, expect a few unexpected "user errors" along the way – because learning can (and should) be fun. So, brace yourself for a delightful mix of laughs and insights, sprinkled in-between those priceless wisdom drops, that only true HF/UX geeks can deliver. We promise our usual HF and UX geek-level high entertainment value, plenty of laughs, and insights galore as we explore the world of research ops and agile methods. And while we can only hope for an 80% satisfaction rate (hey, even in HF/UX, perfection’s elusive), we can certainly guarantee you’ll walk away inspired and ready to take your HF/UX research to the next level.
