The worlds largest space agency is in the midst of change. The Space Shuttle is retiring this year. NASA is shifting its focus to build a space industry and spur a new space enconomy rather than just run a single manned space program. Of course with this change comes some pain, and people resistant to new things. In this live show we cover ways you can participate in the ending of the Space Shuttle Program as well as why you shouldn’t fear change. The future for manned space exploration has never been brighter, we just have to illuminate the path for those who don’t see it yet.
