And they were able to do it because a lot of extremely smart and dedicated people pushed engineering and chemistry to the limits in order to create a 36-story tower of carefully-controlled space fire powerful enough to escape Earth’s gravity. I went to NASA in Houston to talk to astronaut Don Pettit about how they did it, and if we’ll be able to do it again.Special thanks to Don Pettit and NASASpecial thanks to our Brain Trust Patrons:AlecZeroBob RossetBrent M.Diego LombeidaRon Kakar-----------Join us on Patreon!
