On the latest episode of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik have a conversation with NASA astronaut Nick Hague, the first U.S. Space Force Guardian to travel to the International Space Station in that capacity.

Space has become an essential domain in the 21st century, impacting various aspects of our daily lives such as banking, transportation, agriculture, and more, all relying on satellites and their tracking to prevent collisions.

Hague discusses topics such as the Space Force, his experiences living on the ISS, the harrowing Soyuz rocket abort incident in 2018, how the Space Force monitors orbital objects, and much more. Despite his impressive accomplishments, he presents it all as routine. Tune in for this exclusive interview.
