We've been on a break while George was out filming great white sharks in the Pacific Ocean. He's made it back to dry land safe and we are gearing up for our next episode! A lot has happened in the past few weeks with the launch of STS-118:

• our first Educator Astronaut finally got to teach from space
• tile damage raised some concerns
• and the shuttle mission has been extended thanks to a new power converter

All these topics and more will be covered in out next show.
