Hear about SpaceX, the first commercial flight to carry astronauts into space. And then, what can we see in the night sky from our backyards this month? Finally, hear Carrigan Wasilchenko of the University of Kentucky's 'Appalachian Career Training in Oncology (ACTION) Program' talk about cancer-related professions.
