Show Notes

Space is hard, and some days, getting rockets to work doesn't go as well as expected. An Epsilon rocket launched by JAXA and carrying eight payloads including RAISE 3 was lost when mission control triggered the flight termination system due to an attitude issue. Plus, stars blowing dust rings, stars exploding, asteroids getting hit with spacecraft, and Europa's geysers may not come from the subsurface ocean.
