SCIENCE: Apollo 11 - The 50th anniversary Jul 21, 2019

On this week's science segment, I go down the road to the historic Apollo 11 mission that put the first people on the moon and returned them to Earth. Starting in 1957 when the Soviet Union put Sputnik, the first satellite, into space, the race was on to make it to the moon. There were triumphs and tragedies on both sides, and it seemed like the Soviet Union was always one step ahead. But the United States made the 'giant leap for mankind' with the success of the Apollo missions and the culmination of all the hard work and dedication from NASA to send Michael Collins, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin to the moon and back.

SCIENCE: The oldest Pictish fort Jun 30, 2019

This week on science the oldest Pictish fort has been found in Scotland. The Picts were around in the late iron age and early medieval period, and have left behind Pictish Stones as some of the earliest and best-preserved markers of their existence. The oldest of those stones we have found date back to the 6th century, but this new site is even older and could shed new light on life in eastern Scotland during that time. Then, two new exoplanets have been discovered in the habitable zone surrounding a red dwarf only 12 light years away. Not only could these planets support water, but they also could possibly be breeding grounds for extraterrestrial life in the universe.

SCIENCE: The rings of Saturn Jun 23, 2019

Scientists have been pouring over the data from the Cassini mission and have drawn some new conclusions about Saturn's rings. Details about the tiny moons in the rings are showing that they actually help shape the rings themselves, and the rings have definitive textures that do not overlap, leading to even more questions about they form. These new insights and more on this episode help to frame questions about how our own solar system was formed as well, as more data is analyzed from Cassini.

Also, NASA is getting ready for the next Falcon Heavy launch, which will be bringing a lot more scientific experiments into space. One of these is the new Green Fuel developed by NASA to hopefully replace the toxic rocket fuel used today.

Chad Rubin - Skubana Jun 20, 2019

Chad Rubin did not want to be an entrepreneur and did not want to be in the vacuum industry. Well, he successfully failed at both of those. Joining his parents' vacuum store in 2007, Chad saw the potential of online marketing and sales and decided to help move the business to e-commerce. But, as the business eventually took off, it became increasingly harder to fulfill all the orders, keep track of all the logistics, and properly scale the growth of his company. Seeing as there was no clear solution out there, Chad decided to create one. Skubana was born out of necessity, but now is a powerhouse that helps companies grow to their full potential with the tools they need. This is Chad's story, and his inspiration to keep fueling his passion.
