This week, billionaire Sir Richard Branson beat rival Jeff Bezos and blasted off to space for the first time\u2026 or so he says.
In this episode of the Space Connect Podcast, hosts Adam Thorn and Liam Garman, joined by reporter Hannah Dowling, sat down to discuss Sir Richard\u2019s momentous efforts to touch the edge of space, and flesh out the debate about whether or not he did or did not, in fact, reach space.
Plus, the crew again talk about the growing threat of space junk, how it got to be there, and what\u2019s being done to retrieve decades-old debris from space.
Finally, the team gives you the latest update on NASA\u2019s Mars Helicopter and its companion, the Perseverance Rover, as the Ingenuity rotorcraft hit a major new milestone.
