Description
ON THIS WEEK'S EPISODE... WE'RE BACK! Alex talks about the (fixed) technical difficulties we were having since our last episode. He also shares the "State of Space": why the shuttle was so important and what going to Mars means for everyone. SpaceX, Elon Musk, the SLS and the order of the final guaranteed Commercial Crew mission - all in one glorious rant. There's another 3D Printing Update, brought to you by AG3D Printing with a few designs by Alex himself, and our first customer! We also say goodbye to the Philae Lander, as Comet 67P gets farther from the Sun and solar energy is no longer an option. ENJOY! LOOK UP! August 11th-12th Don't forget to catch the Perseid Meteor Shower this week Thursday and Friday are peak night viewing - it's supposed to be double meteor rates this year!
