This week’s episode is a leap into the future as CJ sits down with Dr. Jason Cassibry to explore the world of fusion propulsion, plasma physics, and the next generation of deep space travel. We dive into the mechanics of fusion propulsion and what it will really take to make these spacecraft a reality. From there, we unpack how Dr. Cassibry first got his start at NASA, the complex world of plasma physics, and just how close we are to a breakthrough. Along the way, Dr. Cassibry shares the lessons he’s learned from a career of pushing boundaries, alongside plenty of in-depth breakdowns of some groundbreaking science. So grab your headphones, tune in, and get ready for an amazing episode.

This week’s episode is a trip back in time as CJ sits down with our guest, Peter Biendit, to look at the aviation world of the 1970s. We dive into how he got his start at O’Hare Flight Kitchens and what airline catering looked like back then. From there, the conversation shifts into cooking up flight meals and the process of delivering food right to the aircraft. Following that, we jump into his time fueling airplanes with Southwest Air Motive, how flying felt different back then compared to now, and a whole load of great stories sprinkled throughout. So grab your headphones, tune in, and get ready for an episode you won’t want to miss.
