** The Space Show – Sun, 09/08/2019 – An open lines show in which Dr. David Livingston led a discussion on various topics with listeners.
The first hour of the program featured special Open Lines guest Dr. John Jurist who was brought on to respond to the Jim Davis question posted on the blog. Jim had asked a question about the 2005 paper Dr. Jurist, Dr. Dinkin and I wrote, wondering if it was out of date due to the progress SpaceX has made in rocket development and reusability. John and I discussed our 2005 paper in the context of the Davis questions. The second hour of today’s Open Lines program was a more traditional Open Lines discussion covering several topics suggested by the callers and those sending in emails.
