Great conversation - wish it could have been three times longer! Always fun to see Eric on

[@LolimuseBroccolious]

No offense, but this was great. Eric seemed to be eager to talk. I learned a few things and wish the show was an hour longer. Sorry, but I will be coming back. P.S. Don't interrupt the show to read mid-tier chat comments to the guest.

Always enjoy your podcasts. Another great episode guys

Nice but if the Artemis 2 heat shield is such an issue, you could still fly to the moon but have ICPS send it all the way from the start, then have Orion retro burn back into an EFT-1 esque GTO trajectory to re enter safe

[@LicinusLucullus]

What nobody mentioned and what is so obvious is if Artemis 3 is LEO SLS/Orion to starship HLS . Why not Dragon 2 to HLS and save $2 billion and why isn’t that architecture the most viable for all Moon missions. That way they could get 5 x more for the same money on the Moon

Please let Eric speak! Good show, but you interrupt too much.

No offense, but this was awful. Eric seemed to be afraid to talk. I didn't learn a thing and wish I could have this hour of my life back. Sorry, but I won't be coming back. P.S. You could have read some of our questions to the guest, you know.
