A podcast for those who want to really understand how space and space technology work. Why do planets orbit stars? Why are rocket nozzles shaped the way they are? How do we get to other planets and beyond? These topics and more are explained in an intuitive, yet scientifically accurate, way. If you are a curious individual, and you share an excitement for space then I warmly welcome you to join us in learning about space technology.
