David Livingston has now uploaded the audio of my appearance on the Space Show earlier this week on November 11, 2025.
You can download the audio of the program here.
To watch the zoom broadcast, go here.
The most important point I made during this show was at the beginning, as described by David Livingston’s summary of the show:
During the program Bob made some predictions about the future of space exploration. Zimmerman claimed that SpaceX, rather than NASA, is currently the most effective American space program. He predicted that in two years, everyone would recognize SpaceX’s dominance. Zimmerman also suggested that NASA’s role should become less significant, with its focus shifting to supporting private space endeavors rather than leading space exploration efforts.
I was actually more blunt. I said that SpaceX is the American space program right now, and that SpaceX doesn’t need NASA or the U.S. government in any way to carry it out, as it is entirely funded from Starlink revenues. I also predicted that NASA and its Artemis program is now irrelevant, though no one yet realizes it.
I added that this is going to be one of my many predictions that everyone will claim they made, two years hence. I’m making it now. I am quite willing to bet I will be right.
Everyone should take a listen. You will find the discussion afterward most revealing.

I will be making another long appearance on the Space Show tonight with David Livingston, beginning at 7 pm (Pacific). If you want to listen and even participate, note that the toll free phone number is no longer available. Instead, you need to go through zoom, as follows:

For those interested in hearing Robert Pratt and I discuss the non-stop ugliness we are presently seeing from the left side of the political spectrum, I will be on his show, Pratt on Texas, starting tomorrow at 5 pm (Central).
We taped the show today. Three out of the four segments focused on that tragic and very horrible madness that seems cool with the idea of killing people because of their opinions. The last segment focused on the space industry.
You can listen live at either the “listen live” button at the website of the country station KORQ 96.1, or here, or at the Pratt on Texas website.
If you can’t listen live, the podcast is now embedded below.
