This week Today In Space is on-the-road in San Diego, California. Yes, that means we dared to travel with the insanity of the COVID-19 mania. I share my thoughts and observations traveling from Boston to San Diego and how this has affected things. And of course, my thoughts on how a scientific mindset can help reduce anxiety and hysteria given the situation. It's not the end of the world, but things are weird for sure. And they've just begun in the US. On a lighter note - we have lot's of SpaceX news to share (links for more info below). From Starship updates to Demo2 news, as well as a few other exciting topics - SpaceX is on the move and making progress. Live long and prosper my friends - and don't forget to wash your hands!
