Hope for the future of Space Colonies with Starship, 3D printing rovers, and Martian Lava tubes | TIS#219 Today In Space

This week has been tough for me - so I hope you're hanging in there. Stress overload. I usually end up thinking 'big picture' and looking to the future when that happens.
So for this episode, I pull together some research on how we might make space colonies possible. For me, I'm putting alot of stake into SpaceX's Starship being the vehicle for progressive change to human life on the Moon and Mars. 
We also talk about some of the latest orbital news to follow up from last episode, since almost all launches we discussed have been delayed since then. We also have an official date for Crew-1 and a follow up on what they learned from Demo-2. I also nerd out about the importance of the Space Toilet. 

Wishing you well! Spread love and spread science!
