Space Taxis & Space Tacos – Dining and Driving in Orbit

View descriptionShare
 

From liquid salt to billion-dollar space taxis—we’re taking a deep dive into life above the clouds. 

Ever wondered why you’ll never find a crusty loaf of bread on the International Space Station? Or how the next generation of space travel is turning "orbital logistics" into a high-stakes delivery game? David Wright fills in for Brent, joined by our favourite astronomy expert David Reneke, to decode the bizarre and brilliant science of living (and commuting) in space.

  • The Culinary Science of Space: Why crumbs are a safety hazard, why salt and pepper have to be served in liquid form, and how NASA turns lunch into a specialized science project to keep astronauts happy and healthy.

  • The "Space Taxi" Revolution: We talk about Impulse Space’s massive $500 million Series D funding. Learn how they’re solving the "last mile" problem in orbit, using autonomous "taxis" to drop satellites exactly where they need to go, instead of letting them drift for months.

  • The Future of Orbital Infrastructure: From delicate maneuvering thrusters to the ultimate dream of moving humans between space stations, we look at the tech changing the final frontier.

Whether you’re a sci-fi dreamer or a tech enthusiast, this is the update on space you need.
