227: Casual Space Podcast SUMMER Series: Summaries (Summer-ease): Staying Curious

Welcome to the first episode in our new series, "Summaries" (Summer-ease) where host Beth Mund provides a shortened, easy- going, "summary" for your listening enjoyment.  Every week, you'll find themes within space exploration of course, and related topics.  Guests will occasionally stop by, and we'll keep the conversation light and non-technical (we always do).  Like a cool and refreshing iced tea, these mini masterclass conversations are deliciously served to include the perfect mix of entertainment and education with a splash of cosmic fun!

 

So, listen in & relax! Let us do all the heavy lifting and bring the universe to you- one casual space summary at a time.
