This week I was a guest on a podcast saved from the ashes of several years ago. Back then the podcast was called Task Force Gryphon, and was run by a military guy who went only by the name of Commander Cobra for a variety of reasons. When I appeared on the show in this original version the questions were always smart, the interview thoughtful, and the topics on the money.
After a few years off the air, Cobra decided to restart the show under a new name, UAP Crossfire. During my two hour appearance last week the three hosts, Commander Cobra, Dan “Padre” Carlson, and Chris DePerno, conducted what I consider one of the best interviews I have done for a while, forcing the discussion to go to places I don’t normally go on such appearances.
I strongly advise my readers to check it out. You can listen to it here. or here.

A few years ago David Livingston invited me to join a small advisory council he runs for The Space Show of people who are all independent experts on the space industry. Yesterday he decided to try a new program idea, whereby he would gather these advisors together for a Zoom session to discuss the state of the space industry at this moment.
You can listen to this discussion here. I highly recommend my listeners do so. The participants were the following, many of whom will be familiar names for those that keep abreast of the space industry:

This coming Sunday night, January 5, 2025, I will be doing two hours on Coast to Coast with George Noory, beginning at 11 pm (Pacific). I hope my readers tune in and ask questions.
Then, on Thursday, January 9, 2025, I will appear for two hours on the UAP Cross-Fire podcast, available both here and on youtube.
Both shows should be quite entertaining, especially because the hosts will likely be taking a different take on space and the future.

The podcast from my appearance on the Space Show is now available here.
It was a interesting show, though I wish more readers and listeners had called in or emailed questions or even their own thoughts. Would have made it even better.
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
I very much would like to hear other people’s opinions about my suggestions.

Embedded below the fold in two parts. This podcast, which aired almost a month ago, is late being posted here on Behind the Black because of a technical issue. John Batchelor got it fixed today, so for completeness I am posting it now.

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.
