On this episode of the podcast we’re breaking down what happened with Starship Flight 8 and what the future holds for the SpaceX teams. Not only that, we’ll be talking about how progress is more of an adventure than a straight line. We’ll close out with how we can relate to a bumpy road of progress with our own 3D Printing of the James Webb Space Telescope in the AG3D Lab. So buckle up - and let’s dive into this week’s episode. Thanks for joining us!

Keywords: Starship flight eight, SpaceX, super heavy booster, max Q, hot stage separation, Mechazilla, orbital burn, engine failure, development cycle, block two, block three, iterative approach, 3D printing, James Webb Space Telescope, Artemis mission.
