Description

Alex and the Assistant talk about what's happened in Space since the last episode, with a little talk of Space Business as well.

This episode is dedicated to Leonard Nimoy and the lasting impression he left on all of us - LLAP

SCHEDULE CHANGE!

I will be releasing podcast episodes every other week from now on. Need more time for research!

Thanks for your understanding, Enjoy the show!
