O3b mPOWER: Before launch, a reminder of why space is cool…
We stumbled upon the American Space Museum in downtown Titusville by chance. With hundreds of artifacts donated by individuals, astronauts, space workers and NASA - it was pretty clear that if you’re a space enthusiast…then THIS is the place to be!
So in the days before the O3b mPOWER satellites were launched we headed inside and sat down with one of the museum’s members of staff to remind ourselves just exactly how cool space really is!
Thank you to our guest Mark Marquette, Community Liaison & Astronomy for the American Space Museum and US Walk of Fame in Titusville, Florida.
