About this Episode

A lot has changed in the past week. Let's catch up on what's been going on and then we'll get to some space history. From Gemini 8 to the first Orange Shuttle External Tank.

I have launched something new. As many of you know, I've always had and will always make sure this podcast is free. I have launched a Patreon account that will help me cover hosting expenses, software, and more. I realize we are entering some uncertain times and that things are going to get tight for a lot of people. However, if you can, I'd love if you could consider supporting the podcast by chipping in any amount you can. Thank you!
