Main Engine Cut Off

<a href="http://mainenginecutoff.com" rel="nofollow">Main Engine Cut Off</a> is a one-person, independent operation based in Philadelphia, PA. It’s just me,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/acolangelo" rel="nofollow">Anthony Colangelo</a>, and that’s the way I want to keep it. I’ve seen too many spaceflight and exploration blogs, podcasts, and other publications sell ads to companies small and large, contractors, research groups, and other vested interests—no matter how much they say that content and advertising are separate, there’s an inherent conflict of interests. Main Engine Cut Off will always be independent, so I’ll always be able to speak my mind freely and openly, without holding back. Full honesty, for better or for worse. Keeping it independent doesn’t mean I’m going to stagnate–I will constantly be pushing Main Engine Cut Off forward, but I need your help to do that. Your contributions will directly support the blog and podcast. In addition to hosting and bandwidth costs, your support will help me continually improve the quality of the podcast with better gear, help me branch out into other areas (Travel to events and conferences! Video? Live streams? Suggestions welcome!), and focus as much time and energy as I possibly can on Main Engine Cut Off.

Free

At this level (or above!), you’ll receive access to the weekly MECO Headlines show. 
Every Friday, I record and release a show running through the headlines of the past week of space news and give some thoughts on the smaller stories I don’t get to cover in the main show. A great way to stay up on all that is happening in space!
