Roid RageVibe CheckIn this week's episode, we get into what vibration testing actually does for a spacecraft, and what happens when it reveals problems you didn’t plan for. Structures Engineer Wesley joins us to break down how Odin performed on the shaker, what failed, and how those lessons shaped our approach for our upcoming mission, Vestri. From fixture design to broken fasteners, this episode is a candid assessment of testing under fast timelines and tight margins.2025-07-2436 minRoid RageThe Baseplate Is On A DietIn this episode, we break down what mass budgets actually mean in the context of building flight hardware.

Pirates OnlyFrom Cosmos to Quarries: Asteroid Mining, Autonomous Drilling, and the Trillion-Dollar Metals OpportunityIn our latest Pirates Only adventure, we trade surfboards for star-ships and jackhammers for ion thrusters, asking a deceptively simple question: what happens when you treat the whole Solar System like one giant opportunity? To find out, I sit down with two founders who are attacking humanity’s metals bottleneck from opposite directions.Matthew Gialich, co-founder & CEO of AstroForge, believes platinum-group metals are too valuable to keep digging out of Earth's diesel-powered pits. His answer is to send small, replicable spacecraft to near-Earth asteroids, vaporize the regolith, magnetically separate the PGMs, and haul home billions.Te...2025-06-241h 02Roid RageSilence ≠ GoldenIn Episode 17 of Roid Rage, Chap (CoS), Matt (CEO), and Robyn (COO) chat with Colin, Principal Engineer here at AstroForge, about deep space communications.

From launch failure postmortems to risk-taking with rigor, Hans shares war stories, lessons learned, and how those experiences shape the way AstroForge builds today.2025-06-0556 minRoid RageOur Type? M-Types (ft. Dr. Cristina Thomas)This week on Roid Rage, we’re digging deep into asteroids (figuratively): what they are, how to tell them apart, and why it’s a lot messier than the textbook diagrams suggest. Asteroid expert Dr. Cristina Thomas joins us to unpack the murky definition of M-types, how we even begin identifying asteroid targets, and what mining one could really look like. No space PhD required - just curiosity and a good pair of headphones.2025-05-2942 minRoid RageThrough The Looking Scope (ft. Al Conrad, Large Binocular Telescope Observatory)This week on Roid Rage, we’re talking asteroids. Specifically, how do we see 'em? Our guest Al Conrad has decades of experience working with some of the most powerful observatories on Earth, and shares stories from behind the lens: what makes the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory (LBTO) so unique, how astronomers actually use these tools to track asteroids, and why observation is just as much an art as it is science. From quirky telescope moments to lessons on precision, this one zooms in on the details that matter.2025-05-2240 minRoid RageSpec And Ye Shall FindWhat does success look like when you’re building a deep space mission on a startup budget?
