Episode description
Join Rita Cosby and resident astronomer Dr. Sky as they unpack the historic Artemis II moon flyby! In this conversation, they discuss the crew's journey around the far side of the moon, their incredible views of a total solar eclipse, and an out-of-this-world live phone call from President Trump. Dr. Sky also shares wild space trivia, from the unfed Russian tortoises that beat humans to the moon, to the mind-boggling 2.37 billion hot dogs it would take to span the lunar distance. Plus, get the scoop on the astronauts' malfunctioning space toilet and what real-time meteor strikes mean for building future lunar habitats!
