The podcast for my June 8th appearance on Robert Pratt’s Pratt on Texas radio show is now available here.
The discussion was focused on statements by Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in support of continued funding for ISS. For a guy who ran for President under the banner of destroying what he called the “Washington cartel,” his present position lobbying hard for big space projects seems quite hypocritical, and requires some analysis.
Embedded below the fold in two parts. In the first part the discussion was entirely about Mars and this week’s announcement about the discovery by Curiosity of organics, and how that discovery explains the rover’s recent travels down Mount Sharp.

Embedded below the fold. The first segment is entirely devoted to my analysis of the GAO report that described the continuing and never-ending delays and cost overruns for most of NASA’s big projects, such as SLS, Orion, Webb, and WFIRST, to name just a few.

Embedded below the fold in two parts. The first part of this podcast is definitely worth listening to. I go after NASA for both SLS and Webb, which seem to be projects in a competition to see who can last the longest without accomplishing anything. Both are now creeping towards project length’s exceeding two decades, and neither is close to flying.

My two hour appearance with David Livingston on the Space Show last night is now available and can be downloaded as a podcast here.
This show was particularly interesting because of the high quality of questions from the callers. In fact, in many ways I think it might have been one of my most interesting Space Show appearances in a long time. Definitely worth a listen.
Embedded below the fold in two parts. The first segment I think provides a nice overview of the developing competition that I expect to see between big and small rockets in the coming decade.
