  1. Starship Flight 14 Changes Everything for SpaceX

    Show notes

    Kristin sits down with former NASA astronaut and former SpaceX Director of Space Operations Garrett Reisman to break down Starship Flight 14 — SpaceX’s first orbital Starship mission, the engine failure that nearly changed the flight, and why this milestone matters so much for NASA’s Artemis program. And before he goes, Reisman gives us a behind-the-scenes tease of Apple TV’s hit series For All Mankind as it heads into its sixth and final season.

  2. The US Just Approved a Giant Mirror in Space

    Show notes

    What if you could order sunlight the way you order an Uber? Reflect Orbital wants to do exactly that, using giant mirrors in orbit to steer sunlight to specific places on Earth. The startup has now won US approval for its first demonstration satellite, with a long-term vision of up to 50,000 orbital mirrors delivering “sunlight on demand.”

    In this video, I explain how Reflect Orbital’s space mirrors would work, who would pay for them, what the FCC actually approved, and why astronomers are warning about what this could mean for the night sky.

  3. I Asked UFO Whistleblower David Grusch Where to Start

    Show notes

    When I asked UAP whistleblower David Grusch where people new to the UFO topic should begin, he pointed to a once-secret assessment now sitting in the National Archives of Australia. Written in 1971 by Harry Turner, head of the Nuclear Branch of Australia’s Joint Intelligence Organisation, the file accuses the CIA of helping build a “facade of ridicule” around UFOs while privately pursuing the phenomenon. In this episode, I follow Grusch’s reading assignment to find out what Turner actually wrote, what this extraordinary document proves, and why Grusch thinks this is where UFO beginners should start.

  4. Did the US Government Set a Trap for UFOs?

    Show notes

    A remarkable new claim is putting White Sands at the center of a rapidly unfolding UFO mystery. NewsNation's Ross Coulthart alleges the US government is running a Trump-authorized operation there to lure UAPs and shoot them down. I sit down with the Disclosure Foundation's Jordan Flowers to separate what's documented from what's alleged, trace the evidence behind the White Sands story, and ask what it means if even part is true.

  5. China Just Caught a Rocket in a Net

    Show notes

    Only SpaceX and Blue Origin had ever pulled this off. Until now. China just joined one of the most exclusive clubs in spaceflight by recovering the first stage of an orbital booster. But China did it in a completely different way: by catching a twenty-story rocket in a giant net on a ship at sea. In this episode, I break down how China’s rocket-catching system works, why booster recovery is so difficult, who actually landed a rocket first, and why reusable rockets matter in the growing space race between the United States and China.

  7. UFO Disclosure Is Suddenly Everywhere

    Show notes

    Whistleblower David Grusch is back on Capitol Hill. Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” just hit theaters. Trump’s UFO files keep dropping. All in the same week. In this episode of The Endless Void, I take you inside the June 9th UFO/UAP press conference on Capitol Hill — with David Grusch, Rep. Tim Burchett, Rep. Eric Burlison, Rep. Jared Moskowitz, Leslie Kean, Jeffrey Nuccetelli, and others — and look at the strange convergence between Washington, Hollywood, whistleblowers, foreign governments, and the growing public demand for answers. This is not disclosure. But it feels like pressure building. On June 25th, I'll be back on Capitol Hill moderating the science panel at the Disclosure Foundation's Forum with Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and physicist Hal Puthoff, who helped run the CIA-funded psychic spy program at the Stanford Research Institute. And then, two weeks later: July 8th. The 79th anniversary of Roswell — the exact number in Spielberg's movie. Coordinated? Coincidence? Or convergence?

  8. The Artemis III Crew That Isn't Going To The Moon

    Show notes

    NASA just named the four astronauts who'll fly the most complex human spaceflight in decades — a mission that takes three rockets, three spacecraft, and two dockings to pull off. And no, they're not landing on the Moon. That changed in February, when NASA moved the lunar landing to Artemis IV, turning Artemis III into a test flight to rehearse docking with the lunar landers in Earth orbit. Meet the Artemis III crew: Commander Randy Bresnik, ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano of Italy, Frank Rubio, and Andre Douglas. I break down why NASA chose these four, the Blue Origin and SpaceX hardware that has to work in sync, and the question everyone's asking: why are there no women on this crew? Stick around for my call on who flies Artemis IV — the mission that actually lands. Who do you think should fly Artemis IV? Drop your picks below. 👇

  9. Starlink Just Changed Ranching Forever

    Show notes

    SpaceX's Starlink is now connecting smart collars for cattle, and it's completely transforming how ranching works across the American West. The collars are made by a New Zealand company called Halter — letting ranchers move entire herds from a phone, with no fences and no cell towers. But the cows are only half the story. Here's what it really means for everything from wildfire sensors to GPS tags on endangered species.

  10. I Asked an Artemis II Astronaut About Consciousness

    Show notes

    What happens to human consciousness after a journey around the Moon? It's a question I've wondered about for years — and one I finally got to ask Artemis II astronaut Jeremy Hansen. A few weeks ago, my question to the Artemis II crew about consciousness and the overview effect went viral, with powerful responses from Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover. But there was one answer I never got to hear. Until now. I caught up with Jeremy on the final episode of the BBC's 13 Minutes podcast and asked him about Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, whose own journey around the Moon led him to spend the rest of his life studying human consciousness. As the daughter of two NASA astronauts, I've often wondered whether seeing Earth from space reveals something the rest of us can never fully understand. Jeremy's answer challenged that assumption in a way I never expected. It also connects to a core idea in the ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism: that the sacred isn't somewhere you have to go. Maybe the thing we're searching for isn't 400,000 kilometers away after all.

  11. A Gut Punch for Blue Origin

    Show notes

    Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket exploded on the launchpad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Thursday night during a hotfire test — just 48 hours after NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman tapped Jeff Bezos' space company for a critical role in NASA's Moon Base program. The New Glenn explosion at Launch Complex 36 destroyed the rocket, toppled the lightning protection tower, and damaged the pad Blue Origin needs for Moon Base Mission 1 this fall. Blue Origin confirmed all personnel are accounted for. No injuries reported. This is a massive setback for Blue Origin, NASA, and the United States in the new space race against China. Blue Origin was neck-and-neck with SpaceX's Starship in the competition to build the Artemis III and Artemis IV lunar lander that will return NASA astronauts to the surface of the Moon. The company had also just been awarded nearly half a billion dollars in NASA contracts to deliver lunar terrain vehicles to the Moon's south pole. Here's what we know — and what it means for Artemis, the Moon Base, and the future of American spaceflight.

    Show notes

    The first batch of Trump's UFO files just dropped. I reviewed all 162 files released today by the Department of War. What's actually new? What's been public for decades? And what does this first release mean for the broader UAP disclosure effort? I break it all down with no hype, no sensationalism — just the facts in context. Plus, my conversation with the Executive Director of the Disclosure Foundation, Jordan Flowers.

  14. The Artemis II Oval Office Event was a Joke

    Show notes

    The Artemis II astronauts just returned from humanity's first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years. So why did the White House press pool ask 13 questions in 22 minutes — and not a single one about Artemis II? I'm Kristin Fisher, a former White House correspondent turned independent space journalist, and in this video I break down what happened in President Trump's Oval Office press conference with the Artemis II crew, why the press corps ignored the astronauts, and what it says about how America covers space exploration. I also get into the news that was made in that room — what Trump said about the timeline for future Artemis missions and the possible release of the government's UFO files.

  15. I Asked the Artemis Astronauts the Deepest Question in the Room

    Show notes

    At their first press conference since returning from the Moon, I asked the Artemis II astronauts a question inspired by Apollo 14's Edgar Mitchell. On his own trip home in 1971, Mitchell experienced a profound sensation of universal connectedness. It was so profound that he devoted the rest of his life to exploring the nature of human consciousness, founding the Institute of Noetic Sciences. All four Artemis II astronauts touched on similar themes during their mission. So now that they've had a few days back on Earth to sit with it, did any of them experience something similar to Mitchell — a shift in consciousness?
