It was amazing to be back at the Cosmosphere for this event. Having the opportunity to join Jack, Milt, Emily, and David was a treat for me. I hope you enjoy this episode! Drop me a line if you're ever in Kansas, I'm always happy to drop by the Cosmosphere for tours. (As long as I'm not busy with our baby and our schedules align haha)
