Show Notes

Joe discusses Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which is designed for crew transport to the ISS. Despite numerous delays and technical issues since its first planned launch in 2017, the Starliner successfully docked with the ISS on its third mission in June 2023. Challenges included helium leaks and thruster failures, but NASA and Boeing assure that the crew is safe. 

Joe also briefly touches on the invasive Joro spider in the U.S. and the slowing rotation of Earth's inner core.
