We’re Gonna' Need A Bigger Rocket : Guest : Dimos
from Science, Actually Presents : The Nerd and the Scientist
Our first ever guest returns and becomes our first return guest! Dr. Dimos Katsis is back, and this time he's talking about Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket which is planning on launching for the first time ever next month, December 2024. New Glenn is so big, it can fit Blue Origin's current rocket - the New Shepard - inside its payload. New Glenn's never flown before, never tested multiple stages before, never tested it fairings before, never launched a satellite before, and never used explosive-launched harpoons to help land its insanely massive first stage on a boat. That's right - harpoons. Join Kovi and Benjamin for the ride as they learn about - quite literally - the next very big thing in space.Follow us everywhere!Find Benjamin at Science, Actually : https://www.scienceactually.com/ & https://www.facebook.com/actuallyscienceFind Kovi at Fun Fact Science : https://www.funfactscience.com/ & https://www.facebook.com/funfactscienceFind Dimos right here : https://open.spotify.com/show/5NGeoVPYUs2RqbgqCbcNBL
