GizmoSapiens Show 278 - Space Bidness
Chris and Matt cover everything going on in the space industry (and man is there a lot going on)! Spring and early summer 2026 have been rough, chaotic, and genuinely wild for the space industry. Here's the condensed version. Starship goes big, then goes public. SpaceX's redesigned Starship V3 completed a full wet dress rehearsal and then launched for the first time on May 22, deploying 22 mock Starlink satellites despite losing an engine mid-ascent. Weeks later SpaceX itself went public in a roughly $75 billion IPO, one of the largest in recent memory, while simultaneously unveiling an 11-million-square-foot "Gigasat" factory for orbital AI data centers and floating plans for a Starlink-branded mobile phone service. Blue Origin's terrible, horrible, no-good stretch. A successful New Glenn booster reuse in April was undercut by a stranded satellite, then a static-fire explosion in May leveled the company's only launch pad. CEO Dave Limp is now considering Blue Origin's first outside funding round in 25 years, even as NASA publicly backs the company while quietly weighing backup lunar lander options. NASA presses ahead on the Moon. A three-phase lunar base plan is moving forward with contracts to Blue Origin, Astrolab, Lunar Outpost, and Firefly Aerospace, and NASA named its Artemis III crew (Bresnik, Parmitano, Rubio, Douglas). Blue Origin's launch pad explosion happened one month after that crew announcement — a reminder of how shaky the hardware timeline still is. Separately, NASA's Isaacman said he expects a Chinese crewed lunar flyby in 2027. Aging hardware keeps causing headaches. The ISS's Russian segment leak got bad enough in June that astronauts sheltered in a docked Dragon; Russia has now agreed to permanently seal off the affected module. The Lunar Gateway turned up corroded before it even launched. And a NASA Inspector General audit found Boeing's Starliner is now a full decade behind its original schedule, with NASA unsure it will ever be certified for routine crew flights. Consolidation and new bets. Rocket Lab agreed to acquire satellite operator Iridium for about $8 billion, instantly becoming a launch-plus-services company. SpaceX is building its own natural gas pipeline ("Starpipe") to feed Starship's fuel needs. Smaller stories worth a mention: Blue Origin demoed a reactor pulling breathable oxygen from lunar dust; JPL broke the sound barrier with Mars helicopter rotor blades; NASA's X-59 flew supersonic without a sonic boom, and the FAA is proposing to lift the 1973 ban on overland supersonic flight.

GizmoSapiens Show 277 - Channel Surfing
Chris and Matt talk of the things going on in the Entertainment arena! May and June 2026 brought box office surprises, streaming mega-mergers, and a couple of franchise casualties. Star Wars stumbles, then gets outdone by YouTubers. The Mandalorian and Grogu opened stronger than expected at $82 million domestic, but still ranks among the weakest live-action Star Wars debuts ever — though its smaller $165 million budget softens that blow. The bigger story came a week later: the film dropped a brutal 70% in its second weekend, landing in third place behind two ultra-low-budget horror hits directed by YouTubers in their 20s (Backrooms and Obsession). Disney's reset attempt, Star Wars: Starfighter starring Ryan Gosling, is locked for May 2027. Media mega-mergers keep landing. The DOJ approved Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery with no conditions attached, merging HBO Max into Paramount+ for a roughly 200-million-subscriber service — though state AG lawsuits could still complicate things, and Paramount has accused Netflix of running a "scorched-earth campaign" to sink the deal. Separately, Fox announced a $22 billion buyout of Roku, folding in Tubi and pairing its networks with Roku's platform and data reach — a move existing Roku owners are none too happy about. Streaming regulation heats up. Canada's CRTC tripled the required Canadian-content spending for Netflix, Apple, and Amazon, from 5% to 15% of Canadian revenue, while lowering traditional broadcasters' requirement to 25%. Meanwhile, a fully AI-generated streaming channel, Artlist TV, launched June 1 to open hostility from filmmakers and viewers alike. Franchise shake-ups. Amazon quietly killed its in-development Stargate series despite an official season order, reportedly over fears it would only appeal to longtime fans. Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has left the show again, alongside Bad Wolf, leaving the BBC without a Christmas Special this year and the franchise "out to tender." On a happier note, Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch got a season 2 renewal before season 1 even finished, after becoming Paramount+'s biggest series launch ever. Reviews were mixed to rough. Toy Story 5 drew praise for finally giving Jessie the spotlight but was knocked as a nostalgia-heavy retread. Supergirl fared worse, criticized for its script and murky VFX, with Jason Momoa's Lobo the one performance critics agreed on. Human interest: Ted Lasso's Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas) signed a real professional soccer contract with El Paso Locomotive FC. And a New Mexico jury awarded $13 million to the family of Star Trek's Nichelle Nichols over hospital negligence in her 2022 death.
