Astronomy Daily - The Podcast Space Nuts

Embark on a cosmic journey with today's episode of Astronomy Daily - The Podcast, hosted by Steve Duncan. Join Steve and his digital pal Hallie as they celebrate Towel Day, honouring Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. We delve into the festivities and the significance of knowing where your towel is. Next, we explore the latest updates on Boeing's Starliner and the challenges it's facing, including a helium gas leak that won't delay its upcoming crewed mission. We also spotlight the arrival of the Dream Chaser spaceplane, Tenacity, at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre, preparing for its first flight to the ISS.Additionally, we cover the successful launch of NASA's pre-fire mission from New Zealand, aimed at improving climate change predictions by studying heat loss at the polar regions. Lastly, we discuss the Europa Clipper mission, designed to investigate Jupiter's icy moon Europa, which has now arrived in Florida for final preparations before its October launch.
