Sunita Williams is back on Earth after an unexpected 286-day stay in space—far beyond her planned eight-day mission aboard Boeing’s Starliner. In this episode, our hosts Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte, talk about the company that helped bring her back SpaceX, and explore what her extended time in orbit means for space exploration. Then, we step into some major tech news: Adobe's latest AI-powered updates and how they could reshape creative tools, plus a first look at Google’s Pixel 9A and what it means for budget smartphones. Finally, in our rapid-fire round, we talk about the future of space-grown vegetables, Boeing’s ongoing struggles, and what’s next for consumer tech in 2024.
