    Looked forward to this to be disappointed by a discussion on X(Twitter) by two chaps discussing how flawed Musk is because they disagree with his free speech stance. I would have loved to hear a comment after talking about what a genius Musk is regarding Space X, Tesla, Starlink, etc. that maybe, just maybe, Musk is correct and they are wrong.

  • Hilarious and informative

    I was recently introduced to this show by Matt’s appearance in the Off-Nominal podcast. In the last week I have listened to over 30 episodes and I can’t get enough! The hosts do a great job of explaining Spaceflight topics and often have me laughing out loud =)

    I strongly recommend this podcast to any space enthusiasts and look forward to diving into the rest of the over 200 episode back catalogue!
