    That was a great interview. I really love Reid's contagious enthusiasm for the Tomcat, seems like everyone who flew it can't talk about it without smiling and laughing. Thanks FPP!

    Soooooooooo glad you agreed to do this interview “Tonto”!!!
    It’s rare for active members of the Astronaut Office to do interviews where they get to really talk like pilots.

    Great interview Flounder! Spaceflight has been a passion of mine since I was about 6 1/2 years old back in 1995 when the movie Apollo 13 was released, so this episode really hit it home for me. Great work gents!

    Listening to those guys reminisce about Tomcats was like listening to a couple of kids recalling a trip to an amusement park.

    Great episode! Amazing guest! The show is moving up in the world! What happens when you get two tomcat guys together? I just love how this was also a bonus Tomcast episode! Loved every minute of F-14 chat!

    The large motion simulator at Ames was used by the shuttle crews to train for their missions. I got my son a ride it it.

    Gotta say, I'm going to be holding my breath for the first flight of a bird outfitted with ECLSS, full up avionics, etc., with a full crew on board. Kinda like the first flight of STS. But Jello and Flounder, thanks for a GREAT interview!

    Great interview. I suggest that you see if you can get Neil deGrasse Tyson on your blog to talk about time when objects are in motion.

    I watched the first steps on the moon via a tv set in an RV next to me as I gassed up in a gas station in Santa Maria CA. I was on the way to my first day at a job at TRW. Later my division chief at NASA Ames was the cap com during the Apallo 15 flight where the crew took stamps to the moon. He was sent to Ames as durance vile.

      Who was that? There were 4 CAPCOMs on that mission: Dr. Joseph "Joe" Allen (a civilian scientist astronaut) who served as EVA capcom, Edgar Mitchell (LMP on Apollo 14) who was the LM Landing & Launch capcom, then there was Robert Parker (another civilian scientist-astronaut) who was the Goodnight-Wakeup capcom and Gordon Fullerton who was wakeup capcom as well.
      None of the Capcoms were sent to Ames as punishment, I think you might be thinking of the CMP (Command Module Pilot) on that mission, Alfred "Al" Worden who got a position at Ames thanks to the Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight at the time, Dale D. Myers. This assignment wasn't a punishment, as the punishment was the reprimand that the crew got (which made them unpromotable in the USAF) , as well as being removed from flight status (ie, no more spaceflights).

    We dont have a lander !!!!!!! I think blue origin might do it, however.

    • @hoghogwild

      The Space X HLS "Starship" is the lander, at least the initial crewed one.

      When do you propose it was then (or will be)?

      @@FighterPilotPodcast I mean, have humans been outside of LEO since Apollo? You might want to focus on the time period when "we" were travelling to other celestial bodies, landing on them, walking on them, performing hands on science, etc? Not to mention, the dozens of firsts achieved during the Gemini and Mercury programs?
      It would appear that you are taking the word of an aviation peer over actual facts...
      P.S. Nobody is "flying" anymore anyways. These new vehicles are mostly automated...

      Yeah, but they didn't know how to live in space long trem.
      The record for the apollo era it was gemini 7 at 14 days. Not counting Skylab, because that's after Apollo 17.
      Now that we have the expertise of long term habitation in low earth orbit,
      Which will be vital for a moon base and mars trip.
      So, yes, I would say we are in the golden era.
