Episode description

We hear about the astronauts' 19-hour journey from the International Space Station and what was so different about this landing. Also how it's left Nasa optimistic about the future of human spaceflight despite an unexpected off-shoot to the mission. Trump 'plans to act' on security risks posed by Chinese software in social media apps while Microsoft is in talks to buy the US arm of TikTok and the company's owners ByteDance decide to move their head office to London. Egypt invites Elon Musk to visit the country so they can prove the pyramids weren't built by aliens, and Sir David Attenborough's back with a new TV show.
