Welcome to our casual Science, Technology Engineering, Arts and Math hangout! This isn’t like one of our regularly produced shows, this is very casual and conversational — No production, just hanging out with friends and having good conversation. Join us and enjoy!

Mars Cube One (MarCO) lead engineer, Andy Klesh, joins us to chat how two tiny CubeSats gave us real-time data from the latest landing on Mars. We talk about what led to naming the spacecraft after the Disney characters Wall-e and Eve, and how both Wall-e and Eve lost contact with Earth just few hours before it was their time to shine.

Jared Head brings us our Earthly and ISS departures along with a quick update on India's Vikram lunar lander -- Spoiler: not all hope is lost just yet! Jared also covers a relativity important contract and rounds out the show with Aeolus performing a course correction to avoid the SpaceX Starlink constellation. Lisa Stojanovski has some exciting and future looking space science updates from cargo that recently returned to Earth aboard SpaceX's Dragon spaceship. Jade Kim returns with a HUGE story from China's FAST telescope! And Dr. Tamitha Skov reminds us of the importance of Space Weather, especially during huge storms where emergency communication can be life or death!

We chat to Julie Angus, CEO of Open Ocean Robotics, about her autonomous boats that can map the ocean floor in sonar, record the sounds of ocean mammals, track oil spills, help direct shipping traffic, monitor hurricanes and more - all with the power of sun and wind. More about Open Ocean Robotics here: https://openoceanrobotics.com What what you deploy a fleet of autonomous boats for?

Virgin Orbit VP of Special Projects William Pomerantz joins us on station to talk about everything they are working on. Sounds like Virgin Orbit isn't just near flying, but ready to come out of the gate strong with a series of vehicles already being built! In this hour long interview Jared and Will talk about the small satellite market and Virgin Orbit's place in it, rocket reusability and the Brooke Owens Fellowship. Will is an amazing force within the NewSpace community and this is an interview you don't want to miss!

We have a slew of launches, arrivals and departures this week including a test flight from SpaceX! I believe that means that Jared lost a bet with me! Jared also gets super excited about Europa Clipper becoming even more real, Lisa joins us from New Zealand to talk about Australia possibly joining ESA and of course we have the Space Weather Woman Dr. Tamith Skov giving us an update on our local star!

We chat to Kathy Laurini, Chair of the International Space Exploration Coordination Group, about how space agencies can work together to help humanity explore space, and how collaboration leads to better ideas and better missions.

Welcome to a surprise Letting Off STEAM (LOS) with both Jami and Cariann at Station Two Zero Four! We were in today to get the latest live show going and figured we would just hang out for a bit!

United Launch Alliance has won a couple of contracts for its not-yet-flying Vulcan rocket, one of which has a mini space shuttle as a payload! Virgin Galactic is taking up residence at Spaceport America (finally!) And NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building may have a new tenant!

Grab some popcorn as we chat to Tethers Unlimited CEO Rob Hoyt about the technology needed for enabling humanity to build and manufacture in space. Tethers Unlimited build in-space plastic recyclers, CubeSat robot arms, deorbiters for small satellites, water-based propulsion systems and more!

We only had one launch with the Atlas V this week, but we did have an unusual ISS departure in the form of Cygnus leaving -- But not coming back to Earth. NASA tested the Orion abort engines while SpaceX tested the emergency pad escape system at LC-39A. And ESA tested a parachute, but didn't quite get the results they were hoping for. Finally, we take a peek back at the DC-X prototype which flew for the first time 26 years ago this week!

Peter Beck said they would never do it... But it looks like now they will try! Rocket Lab will be attempting to recover the 1st stage of their Electron rocket. We cover their announcement at the SmallSat conference. We also have a quick picture update on the new ULA Vulcan rocket showcasing its current status. And there is an epic video of the SpaceX Ms. Tree ship capturing a Fairing half out at sea! It's a stunning shot!

Some of the data in the above video I don’t believe to be correct. I was going to hold on publishing this until I could get it all sorted, but I think the community may be able to help. Certain things like the countdown calls are likely from the ground, not the vehicle so I just need to know what position to tie those too. Some calls overlap and I’m missing. If you see an edit that needs to be made, please help out! Leave the change in the comments below and I’ll work to update the video with all of the notes. Together I hope we can create the best STS-93 mission control loops video on the Internet! - Jami STS-93 was one of the most dynamic successful shuttle flights, ever. From the moment the vehicle lifted off the pad things started to go wrong, but the trained NASA Mission Control operators kept their cool, worked the issues and just over 8 minutes after liftoff the Shuttle crew made it safely to space. To understand exactly what happened, Wayne Hale has a great blog post here: https://waynehale.wordpress.com/2014/10/26/sts-93-we-dont-need-any-more-of-those/ This is a video with the live launch broadcast video, transcribed operator comms and the operator audio. Enjoy!

This week we welcome on Tim Dodd the Everyday Astronaut to talk about the SpaceX Starship and Super Heavy programs, his experiences in Boca Chica and what we can look forward to with SpaceX's Moon and Mars plans.

Jared and Tamitha are off this week, so you're stuck with just me for a bit. Sorry! For our July 31st news I covered the launches from this last week including iSpace who made orbit for the very first time! With a small hot-wheels sized car? Also talked about the SLS Green Run test that is now back on the books at Stennis... And finally I cover my favorite off-nominal space shuttle mission of all time: STS-93!

Jade and Jared have a phenomenal look back at the first half of 2019. I know, I know, you're thinking this is our version of a clip show -- But rest assured both Jared and Jade are in rare form and bring you a very informative and passionate look at just some of what has happened this year. I think you'll be surprised just how much we have accomplished already!

Sorry about the over-driven audio, rookie mistake on my part. This week we take a few minutes to catch up on launches and tests. We also have some updates on how ISRO is looking to help scope out water for a NASA Project Artemis Lunar landing site as well as shakeups in the NASA Administration ranks themselves.
