  <description>&lt;p&gt;Happy New Year! This week we head out past Pluto, then return home for some Space Shuttle policy history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let me know if you have any questions, email me at &lt;a href="mailto:john@thespaceshot.com" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;john@thespaceshot.com&lt;/a&gt;.
