Blue Origin Space Flight, Michael Strahan, NPR Member Stations
Blue Origin successfully completed its third human spaceflight, carrying NFL star Michael Strahan and Laura Shepard-Churchley, daughter of astronaut Alan Shepard. The suborbital flight reached an altitude of 50 miles, the U.S.-recognized boundary of space. The hosts critique the reliance on 60-year-old technology and mock NPR's use of the term "member station," comparing it to political party terminology.
