The $414M Satellite Flex and a Sick Kid Save (May 15 24)

This week on Late For Changeover, we’re unleashing the untold tales of fur missiles, base mascots, and the four-legged chaos that made life in uniform just a little less soul-crushing. From guard dogs with PTSD to Marines rescuing iguanas from airstrikes, we dig into the pet stories that didn’t make it into the official unit history.

Then it’s a hard pivot into full-on tactical geekery: Millennium Space pockets a $414 million contract to track missiles from orbit (casual flex), DARPA’s building an underwater robo-stingray named Manta Ray (of course they are), and the Navy’s tossing drones into the ocean to see what happens. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard just dropped a casual $185M in seized narcotics like it’s Spring Cleaning Week, and an Air Force pararescue team pulls off the most elite cruise ship rescue since... ever. We even dig into the SS Mayaguez incident because Cold War drama never goes out of style.

From space podcasts and Space Force news to stories that would make even a jaded vet say “WTF?”, this is your go-to space force podcast for chaos, caffeine, and camaraderie.
