  • A voice coach. Right?

    Any chance someone could voice-coach Chris Mirasola to break his “Right?” habit? (That’s saying “Right?” every other sentence.) This verbal tic is getting more and more common these days and, while it might be an overcompensation for momentary insecurity, I find the habit super annoying (enough to fast-forward through a speaker’s comments). In the case of this panelist, voice coaching might also help his general delivery, which can be a bit hard to follow.

  • Factually Incorrect

    The “Chatter” episode of 9/24/2024 on the “Challenger” disaster misrepresents the Teacher in Space Project as providing the first “civilian” astronaut, ignoring previous Payload Specialists from industry & academia, including a sitting U.S. Senator & a U.S. Representative.
