It was a busy week in space this week! Lots to talk about - China is off to Mars with it's first rover, SpaceX successfully achieved another level of reusability capabilities, the return date for Demo-2 and Astronauts Bob & Doug is official (and soon!). And we have a progress update on our Galileo rocket project after our first design session. Next one is this coming Sunday - follow us on facebook at Today In Space Podcast to get an update when we do. Join us! I also decided to expand on a previous idea from the podcast, the scientific ladder of ideas. The same way that scientific ideas go from a hypothesis to a theory can also help us get better at filtering through the bullshit information in our daily lives. It's helped me, and if it helps even one other person - it's worth sharing! Have a good week - be well!
