This week we dive into a wide array of topics. First, we investigate the most recent discoveries of the Chang' E-6 mission to the far side of the moon and just how they could age a rock. Following that a rat study from the University of Richmond brought incredible wisdom and fun. Finally, development into another form of clean energy is underway with the improvement in the ability to store hydrogen for use in combustion engines and fuel cells! All that and just a little more in this episode.
