Zach Moore Podcast

In this episode, I return victorious after visiting family in the wonderful Dominican Republic. Also, I make some very good snack recommendations. Our first story is about a virtual and artificially generated Korean pop group and whether or not people will care about this or if it will catch on. Make sure to go watch and listen to their stuff to make your own decision. Then, we discuss NASA's new mission Psyche which hopes to help us understand how planets might form in our solar system as well as the first time we use a specific type of thruster, which I discuss. After, we recap some of the initial findings after the OSIRIS-Rex capsule was opened and how this mission is still not over. We then go on to talk about the OSIRIS-Rex mission to another asteroid and begin a conversation about asteroid impacts on our planet. In particular, I discuss the Tunguska Event which happened over 100 years ago in a remote part of Russia.
