Hey there Space People! Apologies for the week off - life and COVID finally got the best of me and needed to take care of myself. Now that I've been tested and hydrated again we're back! I share my thoughts on getting tested with THE SWAB and how nobody really knows anything about this virus (including myself). I also share my thoughts on the 'New Hope' of the space industry (and possibly humanity) of SpaceX& NASA finally working together and ending the culture war that's plagued the industry for at least 10 years.

I relate the only way I can - by sharing stories of my younger-more-angsty-self learning to be an Aerospace Engineer experiencing the Old Space vs New Space 'culture war' in real time. Just wanted to reflect on my experience 10 years later at the end of an era which values teamwork and an open private-government partnership to tackle the next generation of human spaceflight for NASA.
