Summary

Today we sat down with Anil Menon, SpaceX’s first flight surgeon and his wife, Anna Menon, a Lead Space Operations Engineer at SpaceX! So let’s just say, this couple is really smart and had a lot of interesting things to share. It’s not every day we get to interview people who work on sending people to space, so this was really cool! In the words of Andrew’s dad joke “This interview was out of this world!” haha so cheesy but we hope you enjoy! :) Love you guys!
