Welcome to the Reason Roundtable, your weekly Libertarian podcast from the magazine and free markets.

I am Matt Welch joined by Nick Gillespie, Peter,

Suerman and Catherine Mangue Ward.

Happy indigenous Columbus Day everyone.

Howdy?

Hi, Matt.

Happy Columbus Day.

Nick, I understand you have some thoughts about Columbus's recently discovered origins.

Yeah, now I'm happy to announce that it appears that it's not an Italian American who's responsible

for the decimation of native people but somebody probably born in Spain or

Portugal who was Jewish. That's the latest, the latest on good old Columbus.

That's just the forensic archaeology going on these days

is boggles the mind.

Before we actually get started in talking about anything,

Catherine, I understand that you won't be able to concentrate.

You'll be like a kid who does the things and can't concentrate in class unless you're allowed to bubble

forth in excitements over Elon Musk's rocketry. Do you want to explain to us

what happened this weekend and what it means and why it's important?

I would love to so you're basically you made an IEP for me for this podcast and I get like a fidget spinner and one of those stools

that like wiggles around so I can pay attention. Thank you so much.

Extra time to take your test. Extra time to take my test.

Rockets everybody we had a great weekend for rockets
