When most people think about deep space exploration, management acumen is generally not the first thing they settle on—but without it, no robotic mission would ever succeed. This week we are joined by Jay Gallentine, author of multiple books on the robotic exploration of space. Each of these tomes is a somewhat of a masterpiece; a deep dive into a topic that few explore in such detail. His newest book, "Born to Explore," started off as a book about robots exploring Mars, but his interviews with former JPL manager John Casani was so compelling that he transformed it into a biography. John Casani is a legend at JPL and NASA, and his story reads like a combination of a spaceflight adventure, personal memoir, and a pirate's tale. You'll love the book, and you'll love hearing about it from Jay. Join us!

Live Nation's settlement with the DOJ does very little. A recap of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. And China is obsessed with OpenClaw AI.

Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte host a special episode of Security Now live from ThreatLocker's Zero Trust World 2026 in Orlando, Florida. The final frontier of security is internal. Today, we have the tools, techniques and technologies to thwart attacks originating from outside our perimeter. We're now good at protecting our borders. But major high profile breaches occurring over the past several years have revealed that insufficient attention has been given to the security of our internal systems and networks. Today's greatest security weaknesses result from decades of system design, deployment and policy that have placed far too much trust on the conduct of those on the inside, behind our borders. Whether deliberate, inadvertent, or externally penetrating, the greatest challenge we now face is that of designing and deploying our internal security with strict adherence to the principles of least privilege and zero trust.
