Space culture, asteroid mining, and irreverent banter. Hosted by Matt (CEO), Jack (Head of Media), and Chap (CoS). Buckle up, you're in for a ride.

    Qual Plus 6 dB (We Did a Double-Double)

    Jack is joined by Matt and Robyn to break down the Artemis 2 wet dress rehearsal*, why Starliner is what happens when you build a jobs program instead of a spacecraft, and a full rundown of Deep Space 2's recent testing gauntlet.

    Magic Boxes

    Jack is joined by Demyan (Senior Mission Ops Engineer) and Armand (Head of GNC, Flight Software) to talk about how AstroForge plans deep space missions.We talk about why the traditional approach of "throw more humans at it" doesn't scale when you're trying to mine asteroids.

    Beige Is Badass

    Jack sits down with Chap (Chief of Mining) and Matt to unveil AstroForge's new laser testing facility, though Matt has strong opinions about the beige walls. Between debates over whether the podcast should even continue, Jay and Silent Bob references, and explicit instructions to NOT like and subscribe, the team breaks down why bringing laser capabilities in-house accelerates iteration, protects IP, and proves asteroid mining can hit industrial scale in under 15 years.

    Composonant Design

    Jack sits down with Wes and Orli from the Structures team to break down composite materials and solar array deployment. We jump into carbon fiber facesheets, aluminum honeycomb cores, why Kapton is everywhere, and how plasma from electric propulsion can arc to imperfections in conductive layers.

    Big Momentum Is Selling You More Inertia

    Jack sits down with James, Flight Dynamics Engineer, and Loic, Principal Flight Science Engineer, to demystify orbital determination; or as Jack learns after claiming GPS expertise, to discover that "everything you just said was wrong." Between hot air balloon analogies, admissions of 1,000+ hours in Kerbal Space Program, and revelations about useless accelerometers, our team breaks down how AstroForge actually figures out where its spacecraft are in deep space and why that's harder than it sounds.

    Shake the Crap Out of It (It's a Technical Term)

    Jack sits down with Ashton and Holly fresh off AstroForge's vibration testing campaigns. Plus: space law (just plant a flag, right?), how to avoid Astra Rocket 3's QA disasters, and investment advice involving Ashton's Venmo.

    Not Bringing Asteroids To Earth, Thanks

    Tim and Chap from the Mining team join Jack to answer listener questions about AstroForge’s plans to mine and return platinum-group metals from asteroids. They break down why metals like platinum, rhodium, and silver are spiking, what a viable return mass looks like (hint: ~1,000kg of PGMs), and how lasers (not drills) make asteroid mining viable. Along the way, they dig into engineering constraints, why we’re not bringing asteroids to Earth, and the future of mining as a swarm of small spacecraft - not one big platform.
