On Episode 125 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik chat about the next 9 months in space.
It's the end of summer, and that means it's time to go back to school — in our case, space school! There's a lot going on, a lot coming up, and a whole lot to know. What can we expect from SpaceX? How are the outer solar system missions proceeding? What about the new rocket engines for the Artemis program? What are we doing about orbital debris? Are we really in a new space race with China? And much more, including that most vexing of questions: what's up with Starliner? Join us for the fun.
