On this episode there’s SO much Space news to cover! We Lightning round through the orbital news of today:
- DART mission results are in! How well did NASA do affecting the orbital period of the moonlet Dimorphos with its asteroid Didymos?
- Teslabot was a controversial topic but thanks to everyone for the great feedback! I recap what I learned and shared my final thoughts on why this could be revolutionary (and controversial).
- Hubble could EXTEND its lifetime thanks to SpaceX and Jared Isaacman with Polaris Dawn 2 - at no cost to NASA??
- The United Launch Alliance received their BE-4 engines for their Vulcan rocket from Blue Origin.
- JWST shares more amazing pictures with a dual-star system Wolf-Rayet 140, including images with other telescopes/wavelengths overlayed to show us more of what is actually out there.
We close out the episode asking YOU about the true space existential question: “Are we alone?”
