Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. Today is Monday, February 17th, 2020 and I'm the

host of the show Kara Santa Maria. I had an incredible time last week I was out of town,

you may have noticed.

You may not have noticed, because I don't know if I talked about it

on the show, but I got to travel all the way to Kazakhstan to go to the Bikin or Cosmondrom where the Soyuz takes off.

And I saw a launch for One Web, which is a company that is, their goal is to put up a satellite constellation

to provide global internet.

It was an incredible opportunity and we're actually going to talk about it next week or the week after on the show.

But this week I have a really, really exciting show for you, but before I tell you all about it,

I want to thank those of you who have made TalkNurdy possible.

Remember, TalkNurdyism will always be 100% free to download and that's because

of the listener support from people just like you.
