STP16 - The Next Moonwalkers
At the end of last week's podcast we said that this week would be a pre-recorded show, but then all the space news came in at once, so Dave and Emily made time to get together to talk it though. In particular, they both believe that the biggest story of last week didn't get the attention it deserved. So, hopefully this helps to readdress the balance.
