March 2024: lunar lander fails, ads in space, and bad drawings of crabs
Manage episode 408034429 series 3459172
Did you know that Leon is the biggest space nerd of the Scitech Planetarium crew? This month we turn the tables and let Beth ask all the questions. We also introduce new segments for some fresh perspectives on space news.
First, what's in the sky this month as usual.
Space Flight Focus: Beth asks Leon about recent attempts to land on the moon and whether we'd call them successes or failures.
Space Picture of the Month: The duo challenge each other to describe pictures of space. See what they're talking about on our Instagram.
Constellation of the Month: Carina (and Leon manages to talk about Dune Part 2.)
