HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!   On this week's Episode, Alex talks about Independence, both in celebration of America's Independence and his independence as an engineer.  Alex talks about the start of AG3D Printing - a 3d printing service available for anyone with an idea, business proposal, prototype - or anyone who wants to give an incredible gift! You now have your very own engineer at your disposal - and he's got 3d printers. He also talks about China's newest dark sky reserve and the Expedition 48/49 launch on July 6th, and introduces NASA Astronaut crew member Kate Rubins - and the work she'll be doing aboard the ISS during her stay.
