There were probably a couple of Space Force commanders standing behind the FAA people with baseball bats when they signed the license for IFT5

Jack is a fantastic guest! Love this episode!

[@kiwigurn]

A good time for a razor advertising!😂

[@rednammoc]

Jack's bare chin is- an observation

[@gregsteele806]

Weird seeing him without the hat and scarf / turtleneck.

[@dctranberg1]

The term might be " revelation."

[@zeevtarantov]

More Jake's cat!

@OffNominal - the flame trench is the next important step, and the catch with the shorter arms. Do we think they have to be available before a ship catch?

[@brettnewbert2377]

I want the ashlee vance style behind the scenes explanation of how/why they decided to build the booster in the bay that they couldnt fit it out of

[@JackABeyer]

God pls

#1 rule of having a guest on a podcast is to let the guest finish speaking. #2 rule is for the hosts not to talk over each other.

[@Ergzay]

This isn't that type of show.

I think information came out that they will not do Starship at 39A. They will instead lease 37.

[@brandon.wolf23]

Interested in your thoughts? Would it make more sense for NASA to cut the SLS program and only give contracts out to private companies like they did SpaceX? This would help build the private sector and hopefully speed up the Artemis missions long term. I feel like NASA will be running into program costs issues again(already are) and the program might be cut down the road once we see how successful Starship is. Worth cutting it now and jump start the private sector?

What happened to your beard, Jack?😮🤔

[@JackABeyer]

they did the thing, so i shaved the beard

[@billlunsfordOH]

Let the man talk quit interrupting. You ask a question, then interrupt before he can answer the question , aggravating

[@iamaduckquack]

Good god, grow the beard back!
