    <![CDATA[<p>From corned beef to Space Shuttles, lots of history this week. Since I recorded this episode, Colorado is now under a shelter in place order. We are doing our best here in Loveland. Stay same everyone!</p>

<p>I have launched something new. As many of you know, I&#39;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&#39;d love if you could consider supporting the podcast by chipping in any amount you can. Thank you! </p>

  <description>Work has been incredibly busy for me. I've had training and way less free time than normal. 
My top ten space movies episode is still coming, I've decided to watch some of these movies again so I can properly rank them. I also have a decade in review episode coming soon, it's going to be a retrospective of the big events of the 2010's and a look forward to what I'm excited for in the 2020's.
Let me know if you have any questions, email me at john@thespaceshot.com. You can also call 720-772-7988 if you'd like to ask a question for the show. Send questions, ideas, or comments, and I will be sure to respond to you!  Thanks for reaching out!

Thursday, Jan. 18, Noon: NASA and partners discuss power for future space exploration. From the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, NASA and its partners will discuss a recent experiment involving a new power source that could provide the safe, efficient and plentiful energy needed for future robotic and human space exploration missions. Live streaming audio of the news conference and presentation slides will be available on this page. (https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive)
Here's the Forbes piece.  I didn't have time to address everything in the article, but you can read it here and check it out.  Thompson admits he's a bit biased because he's worked for Boeing and Lockheed Martin in the past.  The difference between SpaceX and ULA is that ULA and its parent companies have been around since the beginning of the space age, not just 2002 like SpaceX.

Check out this video for coverage of the launch.  The link I'm including starts at T-Minus 10 seconds, and if you want to see the landing, skip forward to about 21 minutes.  The landing video is pretty crazy, even though it cuts out due to vibrations from the rocket engine during landing.

Definitely check out the videos that are available at the links below.  The video of SpaceX landing the Falcon 9 for a second time after successfully launching that rocket is astounding.  For a sense of scale, the rocket you see landing is about as tall as a 14 story building. Pretty nuts eh?
