Rocket Lab just launched a NASA solar sail into orbit—and no, it’s not a Renaissance cosplay. It’s cutting-edge space flight podcast fodder with a side of “science is wild.” Meanwhile, Barksdale Air Force Base shuts down its dining facility after rats apparently decided to reenlist. Nothing like vermin with security clearance to make you miss the MREs.

We also spotlight a soldier earning the call sign Ace of Syria after swatting six drones like they were budget mosquitoes, proving that modern warfare is one big video game with real consequences. And finally, we reflect on the legacy of Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan 20 years ago—a somber reminder of what service, sacrifice, and honor still mean. This is your gritty, hilarious, no-BS space force podcast that tackles orbital tech, base absurdities, and real-deal News for Vets—all without sounding like a Pentagon press release.
