Formerly: Quirks & Compulsions and The Multilogue.

Episode 141 - TRL Valley of Death

Jake and Anthony are joined by Elizabeth Frank to talk about the future of the CLPS program, JPL’s Mars-focused Commercial Services Studies, and a whole bunch more, including Elizabeth’s epic travel photos.

Episode 140 - Cultivating a Vibe

Jake and Anthony are joined by Rae Paoletta of The Planetary Society to pour one out for Ingenuity, breakdown the epic SLIM landing, and do some eclipse planning.

Episode T+267: Vulcan, New Glenn, Peregrine, Artemis

Main Engine Cut Off

I catch up with a round up of stories from January: ULA’s first Vulcan launch, Blue Origin’s success with its BE-4 engines and what it means for their year, Astrobotic’s Peregrine mission, JAXA’s SLIM mission, and NASA’s announcement of Artemis delays.

Episode 138 - Double SPAC

Off-Nominal

Jake and Anthony are joined by Will Francis, Chief Commercial Officer at Agile Space Industries, to talk about his path through the industry—from co-founding Roccor, to being acquired by Redwire, to joining Agile—and what he’s learned along the way.

Episode 136 - A Little Bit Better Than Arianespace

Off-Nominal

Jake and Anthony are joined by Joe Barnard to present The Off-Nominees: the most bizarre space news stories of the year. We’ll debate what went the most comedically wrong this year, crown a winner, and also score some 2023 predictions.
