“Space-tastic,” Seashell314 wrote in an Apple Podcast review. “Love this podcast! I find space interesting, but don’t know much about it. Emilee does an awesome job making the topic accessible. Can’t wait to hear more!”
Another subscriber wrote that episode one, about the space station assembly, brought them back to their first in-person launch experience: “(This) brought me back to my first visit to FL in March 2001. My then-boyfriend took me to a church atop a hill in Fruitland Park to see a launch. I was so thrilled, I cried! ... I can’t wait for your next episode! I’m subscribed!”
