Ukraine, The Space Progress Conundrum, SpaceX's Starlink, and JWST's 1st image

After alot of delay we are back for another episode of the podcast. I've been through the ringer with food poisining and other life stuff, as I'm sure you have as well. There was alot to catch up on since our episode to close out January and we review what's new in space this week. The war in Ukraine and Russia's invasion is terrible, and I do my best to stay in my lane of experitise and share how this affects the space industry. I am no international expert or political scientist but this conflict is already changing the scope of international policies with the global Space Industry being affected directly. We are in strange and difficult times, and the conundrum of space progress repeats. Major Space Progress parallels Major Global Conflict.  We close out by catching up on some of my favorite space news from last month, including a new Director of JPL, a wild year of SpaceX's Starlink so far (the good & the challenging), and the first engineering images of the James Webb Space Telescope.
