Maui Says No, Starship Says Splash, and the Space Force Gets a Patron Saint” (Jun 12 24)

This week on Late For Changeover, we’re going full throttle into the weird and wonderful world of military space drama. First up: Boeing’s Starliner crew flight test tries to remind everyone it still exists, while the SpaceX Starship booster cannonballs into the Gulf like it’s competing in a Space Olympics splash event. And Maui? They told the Space Force to take their giant telescope and kindly buzz off. Apparently paradise doesn’t need orbital surveillance.

Also on deck: AF Security Forces hit the final phase of rolling out “Model Defender” gear, and we nominate a Patron Saint for the Space Force—because every good military branch needs its own cosmic guardian (ours might have a mullet). We wrap with the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot of 1944, because nothing says “American airpower” like turning enemy squadrons into confetti. If you’re into space podcasts, Space Force news, and News for Vets served with sarcasm and speed, this is the best podcast about space you’re not listening to yet.
