It’s time for actual stock tips. Jake and Anthony draft competing $100,000 space portfolios and lock them in for a year.

Anthony is joined by Eric Berger, Senior Space Editor at Ars Technica, and Joe Barnard to talk about crewed spaceflight in the 2030s, what options exist if and when Dragon stops flying, and what we should do about it.

Jake and Anthony are joined by Dan Rasky, Charles Miller, and Charlie Camarda—the sources of the heat shield discourse!—to talk about Starship Flight 13 and thermal protection systems overall.

Jake and Anthony talk about Starship Flight 13, the heat shield discourse, Dragon beyond 2030, and shockingly, Jake was the one to say “Let’s talk about the National Security Space Launch program.”

Jake and Anthony are joined by Ethan Barajas and Jamie Palmer, co-founders of Icarus Robotics, to talk about—what else?—robots in space!

Jake and Anthony are joined by Outpost Co-Founder and CEO Jason Dunn to talk about their Earth return vehicles across national security, in-space manufacturing, and other industries.

Jake and Anthony talk about the PROMISE rover, the state of decisions in NASA’s Isaacman era, Rocket Lab buying Iridium, and they give Jeremy Hansen a clap out.

Jake catches Anthony up on the news he missed while on vacation, and also how expensive stage adapters have become.

Jake and Anthony are joined by Jonathan Goff, Director of Advanced Concepts at Gravitics, and Mike Loucks, CEO at SEE, to talk about where to put orbital depots, trajectories from there to the Moon and Mars, and to otherwise set the record straight on their papers after Anthony’s poorly-remembered-and-even-more-poorly-explained mention.

Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Principal Investigator of Psyche, joins Jake and Anthony to talk about Leadership on big NASA missions in her new book Mission Ready.
