Custer’s Ghost, Starshield & the Great Astronaut Quiz Debacle (Oct 11 23)

This week on Late For Changeover, we dig up the ghost of LTC Custer and his awkward posthumous cameo at West Point—because nothing says "legacy" like getting re-buried by committee. Then it's time to update your space playbook: Space Force officially takes over the JTAGS mission from the Army, because nothing says “modern warfare” like tracking missiles from orbit while drinking high-altitude coffee. Oh, and SpaceX scored a shiny new Starshield contract, so cue the SpaceX news klaxon.

We also break down Defender Challenge and Defender Flag 2023, where Security Forces get sweaty and competitive in ways HR probably doesn’t approve of. Plus, the Army just dropped a new MOS—42T, for all you future recruiting warriors. And finally, the crew takes an astronaut quiz and proves once and for all that we’re better at orbiting sarcasm than actual science. If you're into space podcasts, Space Force news, or News for Vets with a side of dark humor and trivia fails, this one’s mission-ready.
