SpaceX's Momentum, SLA 3D Printing, and Learning by failing forward | TIS#243 - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator

On this episode, we discuss the shear momentum behind SpaceX as they continue to gain trust in the space industry. We get some progress with NASA's HLS Contract for Artemis, and I discuss the failures/learning with our new SLA 3D printer as I 'fail forward' towards our first 3D print.
