The answer is much more complicated than the question but Jeph explains it so we can all understand. You don’t need your calculator but if you don’t like numbers, check out the mysteries of Sex in Space! Otherwise, sit back and learn how many zeros make up a quadrillion!

What happens next? Can the astronauts survive in the payload bay if the Shuttle can reenter before their oxygen runs out, or will the CO2 get them? Find out in this installment of Jeph’s Space Questions!

We tackle everything from what it’s like being a woman in the space industry to some of our favorite space shuttle stories. And for some fun we threw in a few stories about some trouble we may or may not have gotten into. With the likes of Jen Scheer, Kat Coderre and Amanda Stiles along with our very own Cariann Higginbotham, you know it has to be good.
