Hey, we talk about space and spacecrafts in this episode!

We have Rachel Binx on the show to discuss her experience developing data visualization software for NASA JPL.

NASA operators need to look at telemetry data coming from spacecrafts to make sense of what is happening in our skies. Super fascinating topic.

On the show we talk about the project, the process for NASA data collection and analysis, and how to write code that goes into space!

You can find the transcript for this episode here. Enjoy the show.
