Show Notes
Meet Maximilian Vovk and Simon Van Schuylenbergh. Together with Ian Chow and Dakota Cecil they are the WMPGang, the team that won the Best Use of Science award at the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024!
In this episode we talked about their cutting-edge research in astronomy, their innovative approach to visualizing Earth, comets and potentially hazardous asteroids, the heart-stopping moment when their code broke just one hour before the final presentation, and the shocking revelation that they'd won among 10,000 global submissions - known as the "NO WAY"-moment... In the middle of our podcast, an alarm goes off - there's a gas leak in the building - and my interview guests have to run to safety while the interview continues. We've probably never had this much drama in the podcast before!
