About this listen
In today’s episode of Late For Changeover, we bridge cutting-edge space tech, veteran advocacy, and some of the strangest chapters in military history. We start in orbit, where a revolutionary satellite just used artificial intelligence to reorient itself — a breakthrough that could push space operations toward full autonomy (07:36). Back on the ground, a new bill could force the VA to disclose its secret list of toxic-exposure illnesses, potentially reshaping care for millions of veterans (24:24). Then we turn back the clock. First: the shocking 1932 standoff in Washington, D.C., when the Bonus Army of WWI veterans marched on the capital demanding promised compensation — and were met with tanks, tear gas, and national outrage (36:17). And finally: one of WWII’s strangest classified projects — Project Pigeon — a real plan to train pigeons to guide bombs with pinpoint accuracy (47:04). From orbital AI to forgotten veterans, from protest caravans to bomb-guiding birds… this episode delivers history, headlines, and outrage in classic Late For Changeover style. https://lateforchangeover.com/
