It's the kind of week where we feel the need to put joy into the world, and we've made the decision to just find stories to bring a smile and share them with you. And also rockets, we're bringing you all the rocket news.

Let's take a fast-paced journey thru new discoveries planetary science and Cosmology. We look at Dark Comets, Io's gooey mantle, the colonization of a Ryugu sample by Earth bacteria, galaxies growing too fast too early, and more. As always, we'll also bring you tales from the launch pad.

From baby planets to ancient black holes, let's look at the week's space news, including the discovery of a planet around a still-forming star, our Sun's massive outbursts as measured by tree rings, a new catalog of white dwarfs in binary systems, and a deep dive into the possibility that black holes create dark energy. As always, we'll also bring you tales from the launch pad.

Let's take a fast-paced journey thru new discoveries in past planetary destruction. From fire to ice, let's look at snowball Earth, melting permafrost, volcanoes short and long, and more. As always, we'll also bring you tales from the launch pad.

Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including the first results from Euclid, Roman and Rubin get ready to search for Dark Energy, a deep dive into the effects of rockets and satellites on our atmosphere, and tales from the launch pad.

Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including microscopic black holes trying to be dark matter, massive black holes firing off jets, a deep dive into Hera and Clippers journey to look at other worlds, and tales from the launch pad.

This week we’re doing something we’ve never done before; we’re dedicating the majority of the show to a single story: SpaceX’s recurring failure to follow the rules, regulations, and norms of international spaceflight. We have the receipts, and we hope that you will hear us out before you hit that comment button.

Let's take a fast-paced journey thru all that's new in space and astronomy, including volcanic glass beads, dino prints that span the ocean, a deep dive into asteroid exploration, and tales from the launch pad.
