Dragon Uber for Astronauts & Trump’s Galactic Draft (Aug 28 24)

This week on Late For Changeover, Boeing astronauts find out the hard way that their snazzy new spacesuits are basically useless aboard SpaceX vehicles—because who doesn’t love an inter-agency wardrobe malfunction? Now they’re catching a ride home on a SpaceX Dragon... in 2025. If you're into SpaceX news or space podcasts that point out the absurdity of space travel logistics, buckle up.

We also dig into Trump’s latest campaign gem: a promised Space National Guard (yes, really), plus a salute to Gary Sinise—aka America’s favorite amputee lieutenant—for three decades of Forrest Gump and tireless support for veterans. Then we hit the way-back machine for Operation Argus, where the U.S. nuked space before it was cool. It’s astronaut podcast meets space force podcast meets “What the hell are we doing up there?”—and it's all brought to you by your favorite News for Vets misfits.
