Josh Eskin is the principal engineer for Ball Corporation's Aerospace division located in Boulder, Colorado. They make satellites used for Google earth and other similar applications.

Josh Eskin was at the Science Fair demonstrating information on the James-Webb space telescope which he describes as the "next big space telescope" to be launched. This new telescope takes up four times the area of the Hubble Space Telescope, and will be launched further into space than previous telescopes and satellites, trailing the earth at one of the "Lagrange points" where the gravity from the Earth and the Sun are in balance. This launch is set to happen in 2018.

We also talk about space junk such as old rocket casings, expired satellites, and the problems they pose to current and future aerospace projects.

Zeke Hall is a graduate of the Isaacson School for New Media at Colorado Mountain College. He studied Graphic Design and currently works in the Prototype Lab at Spring Valley Campus.

In this discussion Zeke tells us about the Virtual Reality setup that the Isaacson School brought to the Summer Science Fair. He covers some of the real-life applications of the technology and gives us some predictions about the future of VR.

David Houggy is the President of the Aspen Science Center. He believes that we need more science education in this country for both kids and adults. He says that kids need to be able to explore in a hands-on way at their own pace, following their natural instincts and curiosity.

Aspen Science Center is currently focused on growing and hopes to get their own space that can be open after school. They host a number of events throughout the summer such as physics barbecues, the summer science fair, star gazers, and more. Learn more at https://aspensciencecenter.org/

Daniel is an intern this summer at the Aspen Science Center. He took a break from helping with some demonstrations to break down some fun science for us! He also tells us about his summer internship and what it has been like.

Daniel is going to the Colorado College in Colorado Springs to study Computer Science and Music, two of our favorite things! For that reason we discuss coding for website and app development, as well as time spent practicing instruments.
