William Whittenbury: How to be a Rocket Scientist

When we get to the moon again in a few years, who will be up there, and when can we start to build cities in space? Also, which laws will prevent us from having a Columbus 2.0: OuterSpace Edition? These and many other questions will be answered in our conversation with William Whittenbury, an Associate Mechanical Engineer who has worked on spaceships with NASA and other companies.  We explore how even a rocket scientist can follow a familiar Millennial path into a job field and the questions that keep him motivated. William explains the Artemis program to land on the moon again, the ethics behind the future of space travel, and what motivates a young engineer in this field to stay motivated. Plus, Tim & Abigail try to remember the words to "September." Enjoy!
