4.3 out of 5 stars from 722 ratings
  • Good content but often imbalanced politically

    I appreciate the aerospace updates and most of the time they do a good job of remaining neutral politically. But sometimes they do the wink wink to their political preferences which alienates part of their audience that don’t share their political views. Just remember that your audience includes all people from entire political spectrum.

  • Political content unwelcome

    I used to really enjoy this podcast for its defense analysis but, lately, many of the commentators go out of their way to bash, second guess or otherwise demean the current president and his administration. Sometimes it’s subtle, other times more overt. Fortunately, there are plenty of other podcasts where I can spend my time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Explaining The Key Commercial Aviation Developments At Farnborough
Q: But a lot of related test initiatives aimed at a future program were announced here. Jens and Guy, what stood out to you?
The most striking elements were Airbus' Wing of Tomorrow testing with large, extendable wing tips signaling potential folding capabilities for future single-aisle aircraft, and Boeing's parallel focus on high-rate composite manufacturing and NASA-backed demonstrations, which together illustrate how the industry is accelerating material and manufacturing innovation to meet ambitious production targets.
Inside DC's Reimagined Air & Space Museum
Q: Tell our audience about your opening five new galleries, and what makes them unique?
The five new galleries include immersive, interactive spaces like the Textron How to Fly Gallery and stories across World War II, the space age, and the shuttle era, all designed to engage visitors of all ages with hands-on experiences and authentic artifacts.
SpaceX—To The Nasdaq And Beyond
Q: What do you make of this whole thing?
A blend of awe at SpaceX's ambition and caution about the extractable profits, with emphasis on how AI and space intersect to redefine the addressable market and investor expectations.
Does Boeing Need China Anymore?
Q: Scott, investors expected 500 Boeing orders from China; is that a reasonable expectation given the data you've seen?
Not really. The 500 figure was far-fetched; we should expect something closer to 250 firm orders with about 250 options, and the actual 200 announced falls within that revised outlook.
Space Planes, Space Control and Space Domain Awareness
Q: How does space domain awareness change the way forces monitor and protect satellites?
Space domain awareness is described as a unifying term for tracking, surveillance, and analytics that enable timely decisions to protect or maneuver satellites, reducing vulnerability to adversary actions and enabling rapid response in contested space.
