On this episode we dedicate an ENTIRE episode to the Falcon 9 - a rocket that in many ways has changed the future of humanity! We discuss why the rockets ENABLE access to space, and what the world was and might be without the Falcon 9.  From reusability to lower $$/kg to orbit, SpaceX's workhorse launch system has done many things in it's young life, with its 178 launches and only 32 boosters to date! The Falcon 9 has even changed the course of America's space program and is paving the way to interplanetary life for humanity! We are also excited to announce our partnership with Estes Rockets to GIVEAWAY their NEW SpaceX licensed model rocket (1:100 scale) - YOU could win, by going to our Instagram page and 1) liking the post and 2) following both @todayinspacepod and @estesrockets.
