Like the name suggests, we've got a double whammy in terms of anomalies this week -- one with a Falcon 9 (yes, again) and one with a Vulcan SRB... come give a listen to our analysis of what exactly happened and why only one of them is getting an FAA investigation.

What else do we have?

• Hurricane Helene & Starlink (which, cool note to add, since we've recorded, Starlink and T-Mobile have officially activated Satellite Texting Beta for the impacted areas!!!!)
• Voyager 2 shuts down another scientific instrument to save power
• Voting from the Space Station
• and one very, very noisy alarm that went off at 5 AM for the entire state of Texas. Oopsies.

All this, on this week's Max-Q: The Podcast!
