A Special Note To Listeners:  There was a streaming glitch for the approximately 11 minutes before listener emails reported the problem.  I restarted the streaming servers  and picked up the interview where we left off.  For the archives, I stripped in a backup recording of those first 11 minutes from an SD chip that records separate from the servers.  While the audio was not as good as the main program audio, all of the program is available as nothing was lost.

We welcomed Cristina Chaplain back to the program for a two segment 90 minute discussion regarding the GAO, space, DOD, national security, congress and other key relationships.  Ms Chaplain recently retired from her director position at the GAO so we got a good, accurate and reflective perspective on NASA, human spaceflight, launchers, public private partnerships, DOD and space plus much more.  We started our important discussion with our guest going over the official GAO relationship with Congress and the areas covered by her former division and expertise.
