STP157 - An Interview with Chris Sembroski - Inspiration4
It’s our third birthday! 3 years of weekly podcasts, so we wanted to do something special. Today’s guest also celebrated their birthday this week, so it seems appropriate that we’re joined by Chris Sembroski from the Inspiration4 crew. A mission which took place nearly 2 years ago and is among the highlights of things that have happened in space flight since we started this podcast.
