NASA Social Episode
In this 2-Part episode, Alex overviews his visit to the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory for the NASA Social Event (June 5-6th, 2015)!
The event was all about New Horizons and Pluto - this is a science heavy two-parter, so get ready!
In the Intro of the show - Alex reviews a cut about the chemistry involved with early atmospheres. Luckily, a new friend of the show Talon Bevan, who runs Dynamite Chemistry, was able to help explain it for Alex a little more.
Dynamite Chemistry is an online learning community for Chemistry on Facebook and Twitter - go check them out!
Alex was able to record during the broadcast and cut up little bits to bring a different take on the event. These cuts involve talks from Chris Hersman (Mission Systems Engineer, APL) & Kim Ennico (Deputy Project Scientist, NASA Ames). There is also a post-broadcast interview with Kim Ennico at the end of the episode!
Alex introduces each cut and gives his take on these amazing speakers and the questions that follow (he got to ask two himself)!
Enjoy the second part of this Pluto-centric Two-Parter and all the Science that comes along with it!
Enjoy!
