The ‘A Lot About Nothing’ Podcast takes three interesting young minds, throws them together, and makes them sit and talk for awhile, typically about a whole lotta nothing!
Join me as I cover loads of information on how to become an astronaut! Including an "interview" with astronaut Tim Peake, and also a plethora of resources funded by my university, join me as we learn what it takes to go to space! Also, here are my sources so I don't get copywritted and sued!!
