This week Iain and Ethan have a wide ranging discussion about the new NASA nominee Jared Isaacman and what he will bring. We discuss about wether or not company towns are a good idea (hint: they arent). Blue Origin gets ready to fly New Glenn, the first aircraft incident report on Mars is finished, and Fleet Space company was awarded raised 100 million dollars to build their creepy robot!

This week Starship launched and what a catch that was. We have several thoughts we didn't even have time for a cold open! Europa Clipper also launched this past week and Iain has some controversial thoughts on it. Then Ethan talks about all of the contracts that were singed this week (note from Iain: there were a stupid amount of contracts). then to top it all off we cover IAC as well as some other miscellaneous news.

Like the name suggests, we've got a double whammy in terms of anomalies this week -- one with a Falcon 9 (yes, again) and one with a Vulcan SRB... come give a listen to our analysis of what exactly happened and why only one of them is getting an FAA investigation.

What else do we have?

All this, on this week's Max-Q: The Podcast!
