Ashley Bance is a reporter for Bloomberg who has written five number one New York Times bestsellers. Her latest book is called When the Heavens Went on Sale, The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach. She says we have all of a sudden decided to be very concerned about the environment after registering the greatest economic gains in history through fossil fuels. And now that other countries are growing their population and learning how to leverage fossil fuels, we've decided that it's we don't want to do it anymore.
Kara and Scott discuss Tesla’s Cybertruck, Tucker Carlson’s new media company, and a drop in Threads engagement. Also, Bob One’s contract has been extended after a rough first year, and SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher has him in her crosshairs. Plus, Earth is experiencing its hottest days on record. What does that mean for politics and infrastructure? Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot Ashlee Vance to talk all things space and Elon Musk.
