Rocket Project Update, Biosphere2, Europa Clipper freed of SLS(?), and RocketLab's Anomaly | TIS#208

This week has been crazy and busy - not only with all that's happening in the Space Industry, but in each of our lives. So I sat down and shared my thoughts on some of the things we've got going on and what we're following in Space. First - an update on the Rocket Project 2020! Voting is underway for us to name our first 3D printed model rocket. Head over to our instagram page @todayinspacepod to vote! We also take out some of our model rockets we'll be launching and comparing our rocket to.

Second - we have to talk about mind and body balance. It's more important now than ever. I share what I've been up to - and a space movie for you in case you need an escape! Spaceship Earth on Netflix! All about Biosphere2 - which brings up a potential flaw in the idea of humans living on other planets. A cautionary tale for sure.

Third, preliminary news that the Europa Clipper mission, to explore the subsurface ocean of one of Jupiters most unique moons gets surprising launch flexibility thanks to Congress actually working together? I know, a strange world we live in.

And finally, we discuss Rocket Lab's anomaly and loss of payload that occurred on July 4th - a loss and a setback, but also a change to grow and change for the better. SpaceX went through it before, and clearly has come out the other side. Lots to talk about! Hope you stay safe and healthy - be well. Alex
