We welcomed Leonard back to the program for a wide ranging 2-hour 34-minute mind boggling discussion. Leonard asked the listeners and me as many questions as we asked him. To make it easier to follow along with us, please take note of the Tags as they do a good job of quickly summarizing topics and for the most part in the order talked about. For your convenience, the tags are copied below:

One of the early topics I appreciated was focus on SpaceX being a monopoly in the launch and satellite business. For the past few months, I've not only seen news and opinion articles writing about this along with suggesting it was bad for the country to allow this essential space need to be controlled and monopolized by just one company, SpaceX. Leonard did not concur with that conclusion but do listen to what he had to say about it, competition, having a monopoly company pretty much controlling these essential services.
Leonard had much to say about India's successful rover lander near the S. Pole of the Moon plus he commented on the rush to the lunar south pole. Do you agree with his perspective on going to the lunar south pole, others also trying to get there, noninterference with others at or near one another? Post your comments on this and other topics from this program on our blog.
Perhaps the longest discussion (more than 2.5 hours) on this very long show took place when Leonard started talking about the July congressional whistleblower UAP hearings. Leonard spoke freely about the whistleblower and what he had to say, the same for the UAPs but was a bit more engaged in talking older UFO stories and information plus some of the classic sci-fi films of old. Leonard had a lot to say on these subjects plus we both expressed degrees of skepticism in the reported technology and sightings being real. Don't miss this part of our program in addition to final comments on Musk, SpaceX, Artemis, commercial debris removing opportunities and the teaser at the end, time travel.
