Isn't this a Space Podcast? Why are you Talking About Parachutes? Great question! Parachutes have a wide variety of applications when is comes to space craft. Besides, they're also just cool!

Note:

The sound at the beginning is a little echoy. It improved throughout the episode. We are still adjusting to remote podcasting, but it will be all fixed next episode!
