But I guess egos and bias could never allow for such a self reflection.

    I was recently introduced to this show by Matt’s appearance in the Off-Nominal podcast. In the last week I have listened to over 30 episodes and I can’t get enough! The hosts do a great job of explaining Spaceflight topics and often have me laughing out loud =)

    I strongly recommend this podcast to any space enthusiasts and look forward to diving into the rest of the over 200 episode back catalogue!
