On this episode of the podcast we’re breaking down what happened with Starship Flight 8 and what the future holds for the SpaceX teams. Not only that, we’ll be talking about how progress is more of an adventure than a straight line. We’ll close out with how we can relate to a bumpy road of progress with our own 3D Printing of the James Webb Space Telescope in the AG3D Lab. So buckle up - and let’s dive into this week’s episode. Thanks for joining us!
