GizmoSapiens Podcast

It's been a wild few weeks in orbit. Show 286 — "Solar Shenanigans" — rounds up a month-plus of space news into five big-picture storylines: a heated global launch race where China is landing rockets and scrubbing Moon missions in the same news cycle, SpaceX's Starship notching its softest landing yet while still fighting its oldest problem (the heat shield), a genuinely wild plan to put AI data centers into orbit running headlong into questions nobody's answered about space e-waste, the Trump administration's push for 1,000+ launches a year colliding with cracks in America's crewed-spaceflight backup plans, and a batch of science wins and losses — from the sharpest space telescope yet to the last of the Mercury 13 passing at 87. Grab your helmet; it's a lot.
