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

    MVP vs SOP

    Chap, now COO, joins Jack to pull back the curtain on what happens when a 30-person startup becomes a 65-person startup and things stop fitting in people's heads. How much process is just enough, what breaks when you grow, and why the best ops people are fundamentally lazy.

    Space Is the Ground

    Jack is joined by Eric Foster, Senior Mechanical Engineer at AstroForge, and Chris Hearn, Head of Avionics to discuss the design and function of DeepSpace-2's avionics boxes, what it's like working in legacy space vs "new space", and how they felt seeing hardware they worked on fly on Artemis II.

    The Bloodbath Episode

    Jack, Matt, and Chap (Chief of Mining now-turned Chief Operations Officer) dig into the mining stock crash; why gold tanked when it should've surged, what tools producers actually have to survive price swings, and why none of them fix the real problem. Plus: Artemis proximity ops reactions, whether it's time to start robbing mines, and mailbag.

    29 Years and a Two Week Break

    Sasha, AstroForge's Principal Mechanical Engineer, spent 29 years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) working on some of the most ambitious missions ever built. He joins Jack and Matt to talk about why he left, what surprised him (and what didn't), and how you build spacecraft when the rulebook doesn't exist yet.

    We're Flying a Gas Tank

    Jack and Robyn bring on Yuri, our xenon supplier, to talk about where spacecraft propellant actually comes from. Turns out xenon is a byproduct of steel production, there's no stock exchange for it, and when SpaceX tried to buy enough for Starlink they basically broke the market and had to switch to krypton. Also: Robyn brought a prop.

    Boulders All the Way Down

    NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission went to asteroid Bennu expecting sandy soil and found a rock quarry instead. In this episode, AstroForge senior payload scientist and former Lead Scientist on OSIRIS-REx's sample physical and thermal analysis working group, Andy Ryan, joins Jack to discuss what the team actually found, why it was so radically different from what was expected, and what it might mean for mining a metallic asteroid. Plus; planetary defense, porosity, and lock-in thermography!

    We Built Our Own Chamber

    Jack sits down with Max and Chris to talk through the end-to-end RF test we just ran: what worked, what didn't, and why the test plan and the test outcomes were not the same. They also get into why we built an anechoic chamber in-house and what it's like to work two feet away from something that would cook you if the walls weren't there.

    Mining Runs on a Hand-Crank Engine

    Jack is joined by Matt and Chap to talk through the Artemis shakeup, why Jared Isaacman airing NASA's dirty laundry is actually a good thing, and how Lunar Trailblazer failed a year ago and nobody said anything until now. Chap walks through why the mining industry is fundamentally broken: it's a hand-crank engine being asked to power an energy transition. We roast a market report that claims asteroid mining is a $2 billion industry in 2025 - Matt would like to have a word with whoever wrote that.
