This week we break away from our normal scheduling to bring you a panel to discuss how to best support woman in the space community. Next week we'll catch up on all the news we've missed this week, but we feel that this is a discussion worth having. If you have anything you'd like to contribute to the discussion please do get in touch.
We asked three time space shuttle astronaut Mike Mullane and astronaut wrangler Christina Korp to join us to discuss this topic. The full video can be seen on our facebook page.
Check out 'Riding Rockets' by Mike Mullane. A book we think everyone should read.
