Interview w/ NASA flight controller on Artemis II, faith in space missions & moon landing conspiracies. Plus quick hits on Iran, Trump, and Rory | Ep. 65

About this episode

The episode features an interview with NASA flight controller Zach Huffaker discussing faith, space missions, and current events.

In this week's Brief: We look at the failed Iran negotiations, Trump's naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump's controversial posts attacking the Pope and posting an AI image of himself as Jesus, and why our true guiding light is neither a president nor a Pope—it's Jesus. Plus Rory McIlroy won his second Masters in row! Then we sit down with Zach Huffaker, a mission control flight controller at NASA's Johnson Space Center who helped lead the crew safety team for the Artemis II mission that just returned from orbiting the moon! Zach gives us an insider's look at what it's actually like to sit at the console responsible for keeping astronauts alive hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth and tells us what’s next for the Artemis program and future space exploration. And of course we asked his thoughts on if the original moon landings were faked. He also shares how faith sustains him under immense pressure and why looking at Earth from space deepens his awe of God's creation.
