NASA's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio has been renamed the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility after the Ohio native. The facility performs large-scale tests of vacuum propulsion, and is part of the larger John H. Glenn Research Center.

Boeing Starliner's bad luck got a little worse today. OFT-2 was delayed after a valve sensor reported the valve was in the wrong position before launch. After going through troubleshooting, they wound up pulling the thing off the bad and putting it back into the vehicle integration facility. They might be able to launch in a week or less.

Diving back into writing the next episode. You'd be surprised how many Greek and Latin words and names have to be added to the spell check dictionary.

Congratulations to and for their astonishing accomplishment of the first powered flight on Mars. They managed to fly the Ingenuity unmanned coaxial rotator helicopter for 30 seconds after solving some technical issues that delayed the initial test.⁠

Hello listeners. I know I've been silent for a few months. I've been working on purchasing a home, and as a result it will still be a few more weeks before another episode is up. Episode 3 is mostly written, however. Be patient! If you want a recommendation for something to binge in the meantime, I suggest Mobituaries by Mo Rocca.

Hello, listeners. An update on episode 3: I've acquired three of the four books I want to read for episode 3. The fourth book will not be available to me for several weeks. Rather than delay episode 3 further, I will be creating supplementary episodes using additional information from the fourth book.

Due to technical difficulties, episode 3 is being delayed for at least a few more days. However, with any luck, it'll come out better than originally planned.

Hello listeners. I was planning on releasing episodes every Sunday, but obviously that did not happen this week. I'm not sure when the next episode will be released, but it may come as early as Wednesday. Stay tuned.
