About

What the show is

Landing the Moontracks every step of that countdown, from heat shield fixes and lander tests to budget battles on Capitol Hill. Each week, two hosts break down what happened, what almost went wrong, and what the Artemis program needs to pull off next. One host comes at it from the engineering side, the other from the money-and-politics side, and the friction between those perspectives is where the show gets interesting. Built for space fans who want more than press releases and hype, the show digs into SLS performance data, SpaceX Starship HLS and Blue Origin Blue Moon development, spacesuit testing, and the question of whether a permanent lunar base is actually achievable on the current timeline. If you followed Artemis II and want to stay locked in through Artemis III, IV, and beyond, this is the show.
