Did Branson actually make it to space?

from Space Connect Podcast Hosted by Momentum Media

This week, billionaire Sir Richard Branson beat rival Jeff Bezos and blasted off to space for the first time… 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's 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's being done to retrieve decades-old debris from space. Finally, the team gives you the latest update on NASA's Mars Helicopter and its companion, the Perseverance Rover, as the Ingenuity rotorcraft hit a major new milestone.
