John Batchelor and I welcomed back Doug Messier of Parabolic Arc to SpaceX getting Starlink into Ukraine to help the people stay connected to the internet during the Russian invasion.  We talked about Musk prioritizing cyber defense against jamming which was also being done by Russia on GPS satellites.  Russia's anti-US space rhetoric with threats to crash the ISS from Dmitry Rogozin were also discussed as were the Ukrainian made rocket engines used by ULA, RD 180.  Additional topics were discussed in the ten plus minute Hotel Mars segment.
