About this episode
Interesting Things with JC #1501: "When Metal Touches Metal in Space" – In orbit, metal doesn’t behave. When clean surfaces meet in a vacuum, they can fuse into a single piece, locking parts forever. It’s a physics trap that nearly ended missions, and still shapes every move made in space.
