Max-Q: The Podcast episodes

  • There's No Way This Could Work... Could It?

    In this episode, Beagle and Ani go just a little loopy. We discuss all kinds of crazy things, like:

    • Stoke’s completed first stage engine
    • A radical new SSTO spaceplane by Radiant
    • The mad scientists at DARPA funding a way to make a satellite orbit the Earth at nearly half of traditional orbital altitude
    • The madness that will soon be space-based cell service
    • And, finally

      • A bigger, better Starship!

      • All this and more in this week’s (late) episode!


        Editor Beagle here. Sorry about being late. We ran into issues with our audio editing software, but be on the lookout for a big announcement in a bonus episode as soon as next week! Also, sorry about the chirping. That is Ani's smoke alarm. It's fine, don't worry, he just hadn't had time for someone to come out and fix it yet. Yes, he tried replacing the battery. No, I don't think you can turn off and on a smoke detector.

      • This Name Sucks

        Iain and Beagle discuss the past two weeks of news, riff on MLV and its terrible name, and talk about the two lunar landers that were on their side (hint: one of them survived). and then we become arm chair legal experts and make fun of a Boeing lawsuit. Stick around till the end for a special announcement! (or glance down two lines)

      • Sometimes You Win Sometimes You Loose, Astra Lost

        This week Iain and Ani talk about all things budget wise except everything else other than what we know. Iain drags Astra through the mud and definitely gets himself on a shortlist of people not to hire. They both go into a deep dive on why astra has failed and finish out with some good tips on how to view the starship launch next week!

      • If I Had a Nickel Every Time We Missed a Week...

        In today's episode, Beagle and Iain roast Astra again, make two jokes stolen straight from Dr. Doofenshmirtz, discuss the NASA Office of the Inspector General (OIG), talk about Blue Origin and Starship testing, discuss a shattered rotor blade, and more!

        ...and Beagle gets a second nickel for us missing a second week since we came back. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice, right? (Make it 3 jokes!)

          • Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

            In this week's episode, Beagle and Iain discuss Blue Origin, Firefly advances, JPL suffering, and make a few Super Bowl bets from Iain and Beagle (Yes, we know, the game's over now. But it was fun!)

            We also got: "PHOOMPH", more acronyms, and Beagle refuses to pay taxes ("jokingly". I don't care who the IRS sends.)

            Also, Beagle makes a few edits in a special post-show editor's note for things that I only realized after the fact, whoopsies!
