This week on Late For Changeover, we salute the life and orbital legacy of Adm. Ken Mattingly—Apollo legend, space pioneer, and the kind of guy who actually did what every astronaut podcast dreams about. Then we shift from space to stupidity with some of the best prank stories this side of a barracks latrine (spoiler: one involves duct tape and a colonel’s coffee mug).

Meanwhile, the Air Force casually hands Lockheed a cool $1 billion to soup up its next-gen ICBM reentry vehicle, SOCOM might get a shiny new pew-pew, a Lt. Col hits 10,000 flying hours without spontaneously combusting, and the Army drops last-minute recruiting orders like it’s giving away concert tickets—except, you know, it’s your life. From Space Force news to classic News for Vets, this episode is a full-spectrum force of mayhem and nostalgia.
