Customer Reviews
Great show! Huzzah!
A focus on astronomy, and very little on space travel/exploration? Yes! Please, tell me how it all works! The entire team does a remarkable job. Thank you!
One note; enough about the status of Pluto. Last I checked the Sun is a dwarf star. Are you next going to rave and rant how the Sun is not a star because it’s a dwarf star? Just terms people, they’re just terms. Still a fascinating place.
Great topics and rapport
Smart but comprehendible discussion
Love the podcast.
Love the podcast. Keep it up!
