From Airshow Chaos to Astronaut Carnal Curiosity (Aug 21 24)

This week, the Late Crew turns up the heat—literally. We’re talking about the mass casualty incident at the Pikes Peak Airshow where the sun won and everyone lost. Then it’s a detour into Facebook drama (yes, the military’s favorite social media dumpster fire), before diving into the real shocker: Air Force basic trainees are now carrying rifles again. Somewhere, a crusty old chief just stood up and clapped.

We also get into electric shock therapy—but the good kind? Apparently, Army researchers think zapping your brain helps you sleep better. The episode reaches peak orbit when experts break down the odds of sex in space, which is exactly the kind of astronaut podcast content you didn’t know you needed. And for your historical side dish: a gritty throwback to the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, back when fighting wasn’t air-conditioned. If you like space travel podcasts, veteran dark humor, and wondering how much weird stuff you can do in zero gravity, this one’s for you.
