Rethinking NASA

With Butch and Sunny back on Earth with their hibernation cells fully intact, and with DOGE cutting government waste hither and yon, it’s time to take a cold, hard look at our once-beloved NASA and see what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. Here’s more from Bill Whittle, with Scott Ott and Steve Green, on The Right Angle.

SpaceX Vs. Boeing

The first manned spaceflight of Boeing’s Starliner capsule last week was scrubbed due to a defective valve. But Bill Whittle says that looking at it on the launching pad, it’s hard to avoid getting a distinctly 20th-century vibe.

The SpaceX Dragon capsule, meanwhile, looks like it’s from the future. So the question isn’t whether or not the Strainer will succeed, the question is whether or not it deserves to succeed. “Right Angle” colleagues Scott Ott and Stephen Green join Whittle to debate the issue.
