  • When two reliable spacecraft start breaking the laws of physics, you get a puzzle that took decades to solve. Join us as we explore the Pioneer Anomaly through the lens of project management mishaps and misplaced assumptions. In this episode, we present "The Consultant Who Killed Momentum" - a tale of what happens when management theories collide with fundamental forces.

    Key topics include:

    • The Pioneer Anomaly and its impact on physics
    • How NASA tracked impossibly small decelerations in deep space
    • Slava Turyshev's data detective work uncovering the truth
    • What thermal radiation can teach us about jumping to complex conclusions
    • How to handle mysterious slowdowns whether you're in deep space or deep in quarterly reviews

    Discover why the Pioneer Mystery wasn't just about missing speed - it was about missing the obvious while searching for the extraordinary. Whether you're a space exploration enthusiast, project manager, or just wondering why the simplest answer is often the last one we check, this episode has something for everyone.

    Remember: in the multiverse of mysteries, every unexplained phenomenon exists in a superposition of complex and simple until someone checks the office thermostat.
