Episode 600: Q&A 109: Could We Have A Steam Powered Rocket? And More...

In this week's questions show, I explain why you could have a steam-powered rocket, how often spacecraft have crashed into asteroids and comets, and why a red supergiant star actually has a very low surface gravity.

02:42 Could you build a steam-powered rocket?

04:48 Have any probes crashed into asteroids or comets?

06:47 Surface gravity of UY Scuti

08:57 Will we ever send humans to the surface of Venus?

11:08 Lol

11:24 Does Venus have a magnetic field?

12:22 Longer guest interviews?

14:09 Save the shoutouts to the end

15:55 Could a probe float at the surface of Venus?

16:47 Where do I get my news?

20:29 Why don't meteor showers hit satellites?

21:57 Why not add a module to James Webb?
