EP5 - Shuttle commander Hoot Gibson at NEAF 2026
<p>Five-time Shuttle commander Hoot Gibson joins us at NEAF 2026 for a conversation that ditches the technical résumé for the human side of flying spacecraft. He walks us through the unspoken astronaut motto ("better dead than looked bad"), the moment after every landing he'll never forget, and the harrowing inside story of STS-27 — the classified mission that took 700 tile hits, a Mission Control that wouldn't listen, and one ceramic plate standing between his crew and a Columbia-style breakup. Plus his honest take on Artemis II, the Shuttle's missing escape system, and why Tony finally got him to write the book.</p>
