India's Lunar Landing on the South Pole, Galactic02 breaks records, & International Crew 7 is onboard the ISS!

Today In Space

On this episode, we review THREE of the major space events in the past month! We answer WHAT each mission is, WHO is involved, and WHY its important for space & humanity's future.

• Virgin Galactic's Galactic02 crew broke many records on their trip to the edge of space and back. We explain WHY a mission like this is so important
• SpaceX launched a crew of four on CREW7 to the ISS. We chat about the crew, and the importance of the US launching its own astronauts, as well as International Crew too.
• India's ISRO has successfully landed on the moon (4th country to do so) and the 1st to land on the southern pole. We discuss WHY its so important for progress and how the southern pole will be the place of interest in Space Race 2.5!
