Starship performs their 6th Test Flight a month after their 5th - and it was.....BANANAS! That's right we are breaking down IFT6, with our (almost) LIVE reaction to the launch! We started recording during Starship's Reentry, so you catch our reaction live to that. It was a great day for data! The Starship team's have pulled off the practically impossible and soft landed both the Super Heavy Booster & Starship. We're not quite sure what survived, but that's space development! The world's most powerful rocket took another big step forward - expect more of these launches soon!

We also share our thoughts on the Space Economy, Lowering the cost to Access Space, Space Progress, and Heat Tile Protection required for the insanity of atmospheric reentry for spacecraft with human crew. We'd love to hear about your reaction to Starship IFT6 - email us at todayinspacepodcast@gmail.com or DM us on social media!

Otter.AI's Summary of the episode:

"The Starship IFT6 test flight successfully lifted off at 5 PM Central Time, with all 33 Raptor engines functioning. The booster performed a boost-back burn and landed offshore due to a tower issue. The starship, carrying a zero-G banana and a Starlink Pez dispenser, re-entered at 26,700 km/h, testing aggressive angles of attack. Despite some flap charring, the landing was soft. The flight marked SpaceX's second successful full lift-off and booster recovery. The test underscored the importance of rapid iteration and data gathering for future human spaceflight missions, including the Artemis III moon landing and potential Mars missions by 2026."

Welcome back for another episode of Today In Space! This week we're exploring the next phase of AG3D, our 3D printing lab where we bring ideas into reality. Enter - the Part Detective, where you can book us on the case of your next 3D printed part mystery! What if the crew of Apollo 13 were able to 3D print the square filter adapter for the round hole of the spacecraft's CO2 Filtration system? There's so much that 3D printing can do in our near Space Future, and we've been training to be a part of that team! In the meantime - you can take advantage of our almost decade of experience in 3D printing challenging parts successful.

From novice to seasoned engineer - we're here to help you bring your parts into reality with 3D printing! Book a 30 minute meeting with us today at ag3d-printing.com & let's solve your next 3D printing mystery together

Welcome to another episode of the podcast! On this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on AI. Specifically, the tools I actually use with some practical-use metrics to show how it's helping me (the individual) do more and spend more time in my creative zone and less time doing things I dont like.

I also share my thoughts on AI, and some fundamental beliefs I use to guide my adoption of it. The idea of this episode to give you some real world examples of how AI benefits me, in the hopes it helps you look at AI as a tool and not the enemy. Then I'll close out with my how I think people should use it and when NOT to use AI. At the end, I share thoughts on how AI could be used in Space to help humanity travel the final frontier
