Polaris Dawn, North Korea, and the Art of the WTF (Sept 25 24)

Strap in, spacers and salty vets—Late For Changeover is back with another orbital barrage of military mayhem and cosmic WTF moments. First up, the Polaris Dawn crew makes history (and zero headlines, apparently) with the first non-government spacewalk. No bureaucrats, no red tape, just pure astronaut swagger—and yeah, there's a Star Wars music video beamed from space. Eat your heart out, YouTube.

Then we talk military logistics gone sci-fi: the U.S. is tossing money at reentry vehicles to yeet cargo from orbit to Earth like it’s Call of Duty: Supply Drop Edition. Meanwhile, one soldier deserts to North Korea, gets sentenced, and is instantly released—proving once again that reality outpaces satire. Bonus rants include: protein shakes pulled from military base GNCs for hemp seeds (truly the weed-iest scandal ever), and a nod to Operation Magic Carpet, when WWII troops got the most chaotic Uber ride home in history.

Whether you're a space nerd, a veteran with a dark sense of humor, or just here for the chaos, this is the best space podcast your recruiter warned you about.
