John and I welcomed back Eric Berger of Ars Technica to discuss the recent Demo #8 test flight for Starship. As everyone knows by now, while the first stage was successfully landed at the pad, the Starship blew up before reaching orbit much at the same interval as Demo #7. Eric talked about the problems which have yet to be confirmed but are likely given recent propulsion system modifications. Also talked about was the wide and very dangerous debris field caused by the rocket's destruction. In response to a question, Eric said this fact would probably cause the FAA to take a close look at applicable issues regarding the debris field and not harming third parties. Possible changes and even timeline modifications were talked about. Read the full summary when available at www.thespaceshow.com for this date, Wednesday, March 12, 2025.

GOOD EVENING: The show begins in 1980 with the rumored "October Surprise"conspiracy allegation... Based on the radio show schedule and book descriptions provided, this appears to be a four-hour episode of "CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor" focusing on two major historical books: First Half (Hours 1-2): Discussion of Craig Unger's "Den of Spies," which investigates the alleged "October Surprise" of 1980. Unger's book examines claims that Reagan's campaign, led by Bill Casey, made secret deals with Iran to delay the release of American hostages until after the 1980 election. The book draws on three decades of research, including Robert Parry's previously unseen archives. Second Half (Hours 3-4): Coverage of Robert Cwiklik's "Sheridan's Secret Mission," which explores a critical moment in post-Civil War history. The book focuses on General Philip Sheridan's 1874 covert mission to New Orleans, investigating violence against freedmen by the White League. It details how Southern Democrats and paramilitary groups worked to undermine Reconstruction-era protections for Black rights, despite President Grant's efforts to protect freedmen's voting rights. The show appears to dedicate eight 15-minute segments to each book, allowing for in-depth discussion of these complex historical events and their lasting implications for American politics and race relations. 1985 Nancy and Ronald Reagan

Boomer went to UBS Arena last night and said it's chaos leaving that place. The Cross Island Parkway is like the Indy 500. Boomer listened to John Batchelor on WOR about fiscal policy or something. A caller said the Islanders may have won the game, but they got outplayed 2 of the 3 periods. A caller said Gilbert Arenas said people don't want to play in NY because of the media. Stephen A. Smith was hyping up Grimes on the Knicks. Unfortunately he doesn't play there anymore. We also talked about LIV and the Ryder Cup. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of last night's Knicks win over Chicago. Giannis was injured last night but the MRI came back clean. A caller wanted to talk to ‘butthurt Boomer'. The Yankees keep winning and the Marlins keep losing. Alex Verdugo hit a home run and was barking in the dugout after. The Mets lost in Atlanta as Alonso struck out to end the game. He hit a homer earlier. In the final segment of the hour, Eddie is wearing an old shirt from Taz that references ‘yambag'. We weren't sure what that meant, so we looked it up on urban dictionary. A caller said Sal said the Yankees winning isn't sustainable and it's pissing him off.

Hour 1 Boomer was at UBS Arena last night with the family as his Rangers lost to the Islanders. Late in the game, Vincent Trocheck was hit from behind and there was no call. Boomer said we will see you Saturday at the Garden where it will be payback time for that. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with the sounds of Islanders beating the Rangers. We talked about the controversial hit on Trocheck. Jalen Brunson scored 45 as the Knicks beat the Bulls. The Yankees won again and Verdugo hit another HR and he talked about it. The Yanks have now started 10-2. The Mets lost to the Braves 6-5. They were down 6-0 at one point. John Calipari released a video talking about his time at Kentucky. Boomer said Scott Drew of Baylor will wind up at Kentucky. In the final segment of the hour, a caller is sick of Boomer crying all morning about the Rangers loss to the Islanders.  Hour 2 Gio thinks the Yankees are going to have an incredible year. Every other time they've started 10-2, they have gone to the World Series. It has happened 3 times prior to this. Gio said it's a lock that they are going. If the Mets are out of it before the trade deadline they have to trade Pete Alonso. Gio thinks Carlos Mendoza and the Mets took a moral victory last night because they fought back even though they didn't win. Boomer keeps comparing every topic to the Rangers. JD Martinez had to get a cortisone shot and will not pick up a bat for another 3-5 days. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds from last night's Yankees win against the Marlins. The Mets were down 6-0 to the Braves and eventually lost 6-5. There was also a controversial hit in the Rangers/Islanders game. In the final segment of the hour, the Lakers finally fixed all the misspellings on the Kobe Bryant statue. A caller wonders if in the playoffs, would Boomer consider putting his granddaughter's Islanders jersey in the freezer. We also wondered what the Boomer statue is going to look like.  Hour 3 Boomer went to UBS Arena last night and said it's chaos leaving that place. The Cross Island Parkway is like the Indy 500. Boomer listened to John Batchelor on WOR about fiscal policy or something. A caller said the Islanders may have won the game, but they got outplayed 2 of the 3 periods. A caller said Gilbert Arenas said people don't want to play in NY because of the media. Stephen A. Smith was hyping up Grimes on the Knicks. Unfortunately he doesn't play there anymore. We also talked about LIV and the Ryder Cup. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of last night's Knicks win over Chicago. Giannis was injured last night but the MRI came back clean. A caller wanted to talk to ‘butthurt Boomer'. The Yankees keep winning and the Marlins keep losing. Alex Verdugo hit a home run and was barking in the dugout after. The Mets lost in Atlanta as Alonso struck out to end the game. He hit a homer earlier. In the final segment of the hour, Eddie is wearing an old shirt from Taz that references ‘yambag'. We weren't sure what that meant, so we looked it up on urban dictionary. A caller said Sal said the Yankees winning isn't sustainable and it's pissing him off.  Hour 4 The Masters starts tomorrow and Boomer wonders if Gio's made his picks for the various pools he's in. Somehow we got on bizarre sports moments and Boomer brought up Antonio Brown taking off his jersey and shoulder pads and just quitting at MetLife Stadium. We then talked about Tyson biting Holyfield's ear and Randy Johnson killing the bird. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Knicks beating the Bulls in Chicago last night. The Yankees beat the Marlins as Alex Verdugo homered. Mike Francesa has had enough of the eclipse talk. The Mets lost to the Braves 6-5. The Islanders beat the Rangers with Boomer in the house. There was a controversial ‘vicious' hit. Be careful who you bet in the Masters as two golfers have wives that may go into labor during the tournament. The Moment of The Day involves Boomer battling the Islanders callers after they beat the Rangers last night. In the final segment of the show, Peter Schwartz and Shaun Morash were battling on Twitter about the Islanders/Rangers game.

4/7: "Mother Treason," a story from the collection, "Gordon Liddy Is My Muse," by John Calvin Batchelor.  January 1, 1990.   Read by John Batchelor. https://www.amazon.com/Gordon-Liddy-Muse-Calvin-Batchelor/dp/0671690787 From Publishers Weekly Posing as hack writer Tommy "Tip" Paine, Batchelor ( The Birth of the People's Republic of Antarctica ) offers a comic and often provocative look at contemporary America in this episodic "autobiographical" novel. In eight chapters, each self-contained, Tip roams from Moscow to Hollywood to New England to his ultimate destination, G. Gordon Liddy's Firearms Security Academy in Arizona. While in Russia, he watches a boyhood friend progress, over the years, from awed admirer of American western movies to KGB superstar to an official non-person, "disappeared" as part of that nation's changing politics. In Hollywood, despite the warnings of his decidedly offbeat agent, Tip falls into the clutches of a woman who is not what she seems. In New England, together with his "imaginary best friend, McKerr," Tip solves a multiple murder and uncovers what is possibly a relic of American history. Finally, in the Arizona desert, he posits an arguable identity for the still-elusive"Deep Throat" of the Watergate scandal. Other tales in this totally engaging work recount run-ins with famous literary personages, wealthy Texans and restless Vietnam veterans, or suggest a dark and ancient secret hidden in the heart of Germany. This may be Batchelor's breakthrough novel to the wide audience he deserves.  Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal The narrator of this inventive picaresque novel is Tip Paine, formerly a spook for the National Security Agency and now a moderately successful sci-fi/spy writer. In eight exuberant episodes Tip ranges from Moscow to Hollywood. He provides mystery (a tale of murder and mayhem in a small New England town), commentary on international politics (an elegiac account of a Russian KGB agent who falls victim to glasnost), and wickedly funny satire of pomp and foolishness in Texas high society, a university writing workshop, and a desert training academy for mercenaries. By alluding frequently to the classics of American literature (e.g., Moby Dick, The Last of the Mohicans ), Batchelor creates illuminating but highly entertaining commentary on contemporary society. - Albert E.
