2020/07/31

We had a LIVE Launch Hangout for the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover from Cape Canaveral in Florida from the comfort of the podcast studio. A beautiful day to launch to the Red Planet, and both NASA and ULA had nominal launch. Big shoutout to everyone involved in changing the game plan of preparing a rover to go into space, and still be able to succeed - even with a coronavirus outbreak. You can watch the full NASATV broadcast here - lots of good info (and interviews!) https://youtu.be/JIB3JbIIbPU

This week we're covering the Perseverance Rover aka Mars 2020 Rover mission. Learn more about this incredible feat of engineering, including when it's expected to launch, some of the challenges the team has faced, and of course the science we're expected to see if and when this mission is successful. I compiled all my favorite facts and information on WHY this mission is important. It's primed to blow us all away when it gets to the surface of the Red Planet - and we wish NASA and the United Launch

This week has been crazy and busy - not only with all that's happening in the Space Industry, but in each of our lives. So I sat down and shared my thoughts on some of the things we've got going on and what we're following in Space. First - an update on the Rocket Project 2020! Voting is underway for us to name our first 3D printed model rocket. Head over to our instagram page @todayinspacepod to vote!

This episode is a recap of the live Launch Hangout for the SpaceX launch of GPSIII-SV03 mission for the Space Force. It was the first mission that SpaceX has done for the new branch of the military, as the Space Force is starting to take over some of the responsibilities of the Air Force during this transition period. As we found out during the launch, GPSIII-SV03 was dedicated to the memory of Col. Thomas G Falzarano, who unexpectedly passed away in May. We close this episode listening to part of

It's finally summer - which means our Model Rocket Project is starting! We're designing a 3D printed rocket - and we want you to be involved! Using our 3D printing lab AG3D we're going to be making our own model rockets and you get to be involved in almost every step in the process. I'm super excited about the project and even more excited that the idea came from one of our listeners! (Thanks Steve). I'm doing a little research and will be introducing ways for you to engage and be a part of the

2020/06/18

SpaceX was able to change the space world by launching American Astronauts Bob & Doug with the Demo 2 launch. It took 10 years and lots of hard work. I quit a pack a day cigarette addiction after 7 tries to ‘quit’, and 5 years of replacing the habit and rewiring my brain with podcasting and 3dprinting. How long will it take us to make real change in the world? What can we do to be in this for the ‘long haul’? How does addiction relate to changing the world? Well, I relate the only way I can,

2020/05/07

This week I share my thoughts on how a scientific mindset can be used to fight the fear of the unknown. In these current times, its tough to get any solid information about a topic. Even the experts haven't had enough time to really figure out what's going on. Which means we have to settle for 'good enough'. But we can have standards. Today, I bring back the concept of the scientific ladder of ideas to showcase how science values different types of ideas. The rungs of the ladder start from

But I've seen a lot of my fellow space peeps talking about the comparison, so let's think it out! What would you rather do - A 9 month trip to Mars or a never-ending date for coronavirus lockdown? And if you did do a trip to Mars - what would be your ESSENTIAL need for the trip? What about your lockdown has taught
