It was amazing to be back at the Cosmosphere for this event. Having the opportunity to join Jack, Milt, Emily, and David was a treat for me. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Love this Podcast
I've been tuned into this podcast for about a month and so far I love it. It's re-sparked my interested in everything space related and increased my appreciation for the progress mankind has made to date. The host is well spoken with a dry sense of humour which makes the podcast feel both factual and personal at the same time. Highly recommended giving this podcast a listen.
