I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. Love love love hearing the interviews with astronauts and updates on what NASA’s up to on a regular basis. I used to miss Gary as the host (because he was great), but I’m really enjoying the other hosts taking on the show! Kenna is my favorite. 🤗 Thanks for putting on a great podcast discussing space topics I always find interesting…the CHAPEA mission is fascinating.

I've been enjoying this podcast during my long drives in Texas, which can last about eight hours. It's an amazing resource that explores various aspects of space, offering in-depth information from the past to the present. Recently, I also discovered a companion podcast called "Curious Universe" by NASA. It complements the main series wonderfully and provides insights into the wonders of our universe. Thank you, Gary Jordan!

This is the best podcast ever, we learn so much, from future space exploration to current space operations. The people we get to meet are the champions bringing our dreams to life and making a difference. NASA is so represented and I love each podcast and thank everyone connected to podcast for their awesome contributions.
