On Friday afternoon I spent 90 minutes with Robert Pratt on his radio show, Pratt on Texas. Unlike most radio hosts, Robert wanted to hear my thoughts not just on the state of the aerospace industry, but also on today’s politics. The conversation thus ranged beyond space during the last half hour. If anyone wants to hear this conversation, the podcast be found here.
Note: The podcast now works at this link.
I will be spending an hour today at 5 pm (central) with Robert Pratt to talk space and politics, ranging from SpaceX to the ignorance of Houston officials of U.S. currency. Though broadcast throughout Texas, the show is also available online at the link.
