This week, we visit Georgia to discover where the famed 8th Air Force was created in the opening months of WWII and where you can see a fantastic museum celebrating this heritage. We also learn about how Georgia Tech is a key spacepower partner for the nation—yesterday, today, and looking towards tomorrow.
