  • Summary

  • Bit of advice? Don't call your next project your "Operation Moonshot" unless it's a suitably grand mission deserving of the title. If you do, kick the deadline down the road a bit, give Future You time to work out the details. Whatever you do, don't announce a shiny new, £100b COVID mass testing system to save the population and the economy, that you'll definitely roll out in, say, a month, maybe two. James tells Chris the sorry tale of the UK government's grandiose plan that, far from getting to the moon, didn't even make it to the launchpad.

    Science, possibly.
    A podcast in which James Lees and Chris Stewart share stories that are definitely science-adjacent.
