The crew also discusses Saber Astronautics and Axiom Space’s new deal to get Australian astronauts onto the International Space Station, and how this is the next step to advance the nation’s space industry.

Lastly, Liam shares his fact of the week all about Australia's space industry and how it compares with other nations.
