It's almost an all-Navy show as Host Dave Schlom talks to Liliana Villarreal, Director of the Artemis II landing and recovery Director and US Naval aviator Lt.Thomas Logan about joint efforts between NASA and the Department of Defense to safely recover the four Artemis II astronauts when they return from the first lunar mission in over 50 years.
It's a fascinating look inside the logistics of once again recovering lunar explorers from the ocean, just like back in the days of Apollo but with a lot more technology and new expertise.
Also, Dave has a very special visit with Admiral Ron Piret, Commander of the US Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command based at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.
A native of Chico, California (where this show is produced), Admiral Piret's command literally stretches from the ocean floor to the stars! From forecasting weather for US defense operations to the nation's official timekeeping, it's a fascinating look at the world of STEM in the Navy.
