Garrett Reisman on Joe Rogan

[Cosmacelf]

Rogan interviews ex-NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman. He joined SpaceX in 2011. The part where he talks about SpaceX starts at about 1h 1m into the video, but more interesting stuff at 1h14m, and 1h39m:

"We called it POS-100."

Boeing’s? Yeah that was funny and prescient...

Not wanting to listen to 2+ hours of interview, what is “it”?

The Boeing CST-100 Starliner capsule. Garrett worked heavily on the Dragon 2 Crew Capsule team. Cosmacelf provided the times for the key moments. Though I found myself listening to most of it.

Joe Rogan is masterful at inviting individuals into dropping their guard. In context, Garrett's POS-100 reference was just a playful shot at their CCP competitor Boeing. Though it sounded like he wasn't the only one at SpaceX to periodically have fun dissing Starliner by using that acronym.

Its a bummer the fast and loose corporate culture at SpaceX has downsides like this. Nobody likes a sore winner.

Agreed. I don’t think it serves any purpose for a high-ranking SpaceX employee to publicly call a competitor’s product a POS. It makes him look like a teenager with no self discipline.

I can’t listen to Rogan’s meandering, unfocused, “hey bro” self-indulgent “interviews”.

Terry Gross on NPR can conduct an interview. Rogan acts like he’s stuck in high school.

Agree - can't stand Rogan.

Besides Terry Gross, in NPR the guy who does 'This American Life" is pretty good too.
