Ep. 462 - GMMB Monday 2 Dec 2024

Good Morning Monterey Bay

Mark Mozena joined us to talk about space in general, and these in particular:

• A new version of Vega C rocket will launch next week.
• There is a new head of space for Europe - Andrius Kubilius.
• We are waiting for the “new star” burst still in T Coronae Borealis.
• The largest ever simulation of the universe was run on world’s second most powerful computer.
• Several new spy satellites were launched by SpaceX for US.
• What is it like having dehydrated Thanksgiving in space?

Then assembly member Gail Pellerin told us about the swearing in ceremony in the assembly, likening it to the first day of a new school year. The assembly is very nearly an even mix of men and women now.
Michael Olson gave us the numbers of how many people working in agriculture in California are not in the country legally. If a significant portion of them are made to leave, it will have a big impact on the industry.
