Two weeks ago, Group Captain @gagan_shux participated in our AI Salon virtually. Last week, we got to meet him in person.

@astroeshaana and I are usually not short on words, but this was one of those moments where our brains briefly forgot how to function.

During his conversation with @adityaag, he spoke about how space taps into something deeply human: our urge to explore, our tendency to wander, and our inability to stop asking "what's out there?"

And that's pretty much the entire reason @spacedoubtpod exists. We didn't start this because we're experts.

We started it because we keep falling down rabbit holes, asking too many questions, and taking you along for the ride. Space just happens to be one of the biggest rabbit holes there is.

Meeting Group Captain Shukla, along with so many curious and passionate people over the past few weeks, has only made us more excited to keep doing this.

More conversations. More questions. More unnecessary but deeply important tangents.

A huge thank you to @spc_india for making this happen.

Still not entirely over the fact that we got to meet an astronaut!!!

Ganymede and Callisto are definitely not NPC moons.

Ganymede is the only moon with an intrinsic magnetic field, and Callisto is the Solar System’s little historian.

Legends, all in all.

Ananya’s favourite moon is Europa because she wants that crispy sub-surface ocean water in her Stanley 💧

[Space Doubt @spacedoubtpod]

Eshaana’s favourite moon is Io, easy to see why, especially given all the Auroras

Juno did what mythology promised: saw through Jupiter’s secrets.

Galileo: not the inventor of the telescope, just the guy who aimed it correctly.

*** CORRECTION: The outer Oort cloud (edge of our Solar system) is 20,000 AUs away not 20.
