What happens when you put rocket boosters on an experimental airplane? How about slingshotting a satellite into orbit? Or using bacteria to power a spacecraft?   

In the fourteenth episode of The Sound of Space podcast, we take a look at the unique, weird, and crazy methods of space exploration. Join us as we discuss space planes, windbots, satellite ski lifts, atomic bomb rocket thrusters and much much more!
