We welcomed Bob back to the program. Our lead was SpaceX and the successful Starship demo #5 flight including the capture of the first stage coming back. SpaceX and Elon Musk dominated the first half of our discussion. It was broad, not only with Starship & related topics but on Musk and politics, his aggressive backing former President Trump. Bob also talked about FAA bias and how he believes it shows up in launch license approval for SpaceX. Other topics included the Europa Clipper Mission, ESA, Ariane rockets, and space as a topic of interest in our national elections.
