Rocket Ranch Podcast E02: Some Like It Hot

From the creator

Even though our Sun shines bright in the sky, it is shrouded in mystery. In this episode of the Rocket Ranch, we sit down with scientists working to get us closer to the Sun than ever before. First up, we talk with a project scientist on the Parker Solar Probe mission that will be launching soon – attempting to fly inside the Sun’s atmosphere – in order to unlock its many secrets. Next, we sit down with a researcher working on a cryogenic coating that could get us even closer, but his goal is not to go to the Sun – it’s to store rocket fuel in space while keeping it from boiling off, a critical breakthrough needed to help us explore farther into space.
