About this episode
The Discussion: Hear Jen's talk at Pint of Science on 20-22nd May in Cardiff, less than salubrious travel arrangements for science talks, a listener's email from the Australian Tourist Board and keep sending us your suggestion for the best historic space mission.
The News: Rounding up the space exploration news this month we have:
- India creates a new constellation in the sky

The Debate: Will commercial providers be the future of space flight endeavours or will the real leaps still continue to be made by huge government institutions like NASA, ESA, JAXA etc. Ralph & Paul do battle. Jen will be the judge!
