Recorded 10 April 2026
New bounds were made as the Artemis II mission completes it's flyby mission of the moon, making it the farthest human spaceflight. Join us, Anelka and Nico, as we talk about the mission's journey and our reflection on Earth and further in astronomy. We talk you through the pictures taken from the Artemis II's crew.
We return back to Earth for a short break as we discuss our summer plans, be it travel, work or military callback.
After the break, we return with the upcoming Lyrid shower in late April. Did you manage to catch this awesome event? From there, we talk about our stargazing experiences, both graded and ungraded. We then move on to Singapore's newest public agency: the National Space Agency of Singapore (NSAS), which began operations on 1 April 2026. Here our aspirations for NSAS and the local space industry as the world steps up it's progress in delving into (one of the) last undiscovered frontiers.
Finally, we couldn't end this astronomy-related episode without talking about one of the best courses we've taken so far -- HSI2009: What is a Planet?. We share our journey in the course as well as the joys undertaking this course over the past 4 months. If you're a frequent listener, there's no hiding our admiration for the course.
It's an out-of-this-world episode, happy listening! :)
