On the Space Show tomorrow

I will be doing a long 90 minute-plus appearance with David Livingston on the Space Show tomorrow evening, beginning at 7 pm (Pacific). I hope my readers will consider calling in with questions or disagreements or comments. The show is always better with listener interaction.

I definitely plan to talk about my proposal for rethinking NASA’s Artemis program, as outlined in this two-part essay:

Part 1 of 2: What NASA’s next administrator should do if SLS and Orion are cancelled

Part 2 of 2: De-emphasize a fast Moon landing and build a real American space industry instead December 11, 2024

I very much would like to hear other people’s opinions about my suggestions.

November 19-20, 2024 Zimmerman/Space Show podcast

My long appearance on the Space Show with David Livingston on November 19, 2024 is now available here.

I list the show as extending into November 20th because we had a sound glitch an hour into the November 19th live stream, forcing us to prematurely end the broadcast. David got the technical problem fixed the next day and we then aired another thirty or so minutes to complete the topics we had been discussing the day before. He then pieced the two sections together to produce this podcast.

Enjoy. Of course the central topic was the Starship/Superheavy flight that day, but we also touched on the consequences of a new Trump administration on SpaceX, NASA, SLS, and Artemis. I also provided an overview of the space efforts in Europe, India, Russia, and China.
