DART successfully impacts asteroid, Tesla Bot is revealed,&Space Walk&Talk 04 | Discipline&Leaning on your Strengths - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator

On this episode we talk about the DART mission AFTER impact and how the observed debris doesn't match any of our prediction models - and planetary scientists are loving it! We share part of a Twitter thread from @DrPhilTill all about how they expected the debris to act one way, and it did something else instead! 

Teslabot Optimus was revealed on AI Day and we were shocked, excited, fascinated, and terrified all at the same time. We asked you on Instagram if you wanted us to chat Teslabot - and you voted YES!! So I share my intial thoughts and reactions after seeing it walk on stage for the first time, unassisted. THE FUTURE IS HERE

We close out with another segment of Space Walk & Talk, where I speak about discipline, leaning into your strengths, and working on your weaknesses - all traits I find myself looking up to Astronauts for. I also reflect on the podcast and how unplanned and uncontrollable the path has been to get here. 

Have a great week!
