Soyuz TMA-13 goes up, docks and fixes a toilet. The ISS is getting a makeover, and part of that is to add another toilet. SpaceX has some new contracts going out… and… The Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge is BACK ON for October 24th and 25th, 2008!!! SpaceVidcast will be there to cover the event live.

A closer look at Enceladus, sending your message from Earth and a new liquid telescope in our news. Space is not just a dangerous business, sometimes it can also be fatal. In this episode we look into some explosions as well as some national tragedies. The sacrifices, heroes and failures that allowed us to learn, improve and get to where we are today, laying the groundwork for an incredible tomorrow.

The Telescope has a birthday, SpaceX and China have something to celebrate together and we as a space community are just a little confused. Maybe a just a jump to the left and then a step to the right, with your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight… nah maybe not.
