The Influence of the Rocket, Rocket Lab to Make it Rain, and the Artemis 2024 mission

Alex has been doing some research into the history of the Space Race, reading up on some recommended books (listed below) and sharing his thoughts on the influence of the rocket on human history. With the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing coming up on July 20th, we'll be focusing on the comparisons between the Apollo Program and the newly announced Artemis Program to put the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. Alex breaks down the general difference between the two programs and their link to Greek Mythology.  Rocket Lab also has a launch next week of the Electron rocket for the mission #MakeItRain.
