Scott Altman, former NASA astronaut, retired US Navy Captain, accomplished test pilot, and now the President of the Space Operating Group for ASRC Federal is our guest in the first episode of Infinite Wonder. Altman discusses how his team is building the Orion capsules used in NASA's Artemis missions, taking us back to the Moon in this decade. If you wanted to be a pilot, and learned you were too tall for the Air Force's requirements, what would you do? Learn how Altman overcame this and other challenges in this conversation with host Renae Kerrigan.
