fine. good point.

Then my only suggestion (I hope the BA reads this) is to do what politicians do. Pick a point and stay on it. When he changes the subject, say "please don't change the subject, we're still talking about X"

Politicians do that so that an interviewer can't get them off their talking points. They also do it because it's effective. Repetition works.

So Rogan leads with the Van Allen Belts. The BA should stay on the VA belts until Rogan concedes. When Rogan says something like, "oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well what about the stars man? What about that? Why are there no stars man? Omg!"

Then the BA should say, "stop changing the subject. You choose to lead with the VAB and we are going to stay with that." And then continue with whatever the BA had to say before he was interrupted.

The tactic that Rogan uses is to throw out 100 little easy things that the BA can explain, but never give him the chance to explain them. But because they are little easy things, the BA got off track.

I don't know. The whole thing just makes me angry. Rogan is just a bully.
