Late For Changeover

ISS Evac Drills, F-16 Fails & the Ghosts of Black Week (Oct 30 24)


Listen Later

This week on Late For Changeover, the crew breaks down the high-stakes moment astronauts on the ISS prepped for an emergency evac—because nothing says “happy orbiting” like the phrase abandon ship. We also salute a Marine in the Philippines who took “flexing on the water” to a new level by sinking a boat with a Stinger missile—which is definitely not what that thing was designed for, but hey, it worked.

Meanwhile, the Air Force racks up a $30 million oops after a parked F-16 ends up looking like it lost a bar fight, we swap spooky military ghost stories just in time for your next barracks campfire, and we dig into the brutal WWII saga of B-29 “Black Week” in October 1943. It’s a full-spectrum ride: orbital drama, missile mayhem, financial disasters, flying ghosts, and war history—aka your one-stop shop for space news podcast vibes and News for Vets with way more edge than NPR could handle.
