Episode notes
Why Artemis Might Be More Than A Moon Demo
- John Coogan argues Artemis could matter more than Apollo commercially because today’s space ecosystem already has SpaceX scale, venture capital, and startups ready to monetize lunar progress.
- Blake Scholl calls Artemis a "moondoggle," but Jordy Hayes says a successful mission still delivers crucial "vibes" by proving America can still do hard space missions.
Neil Armstrong Barely Escaped A Training Crash
- John Coogan highlights footage of Neil Armstrong ejecting from the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle seconds before it crashed.
- The clip shows how dangerous Apollo-era preparation was; the unstable craft was nicknamed the Flying Bedstead and Armstrong parachuted out at the last moment.
Jamie Dimon Wants JPMorgan To Rebuild The American Dream
- Jamie Dimon is using JPMorgan like a national capability builder, tying small-business lending, defense, supply chains, and housing to a broader "American Dream" revival.
- The bank plans 3 million more small-business customers and up to $80 billion in lending while Todd Combs deploys a new $10 billion strategy across defense, semis, healthcare, and energy.
