For this month’s Popular Mechanics issue, Science and Technology reporter (and Pulse fan) Michael Belfiore tried a different approach in interviewing Tom Mueller from Space Exploration Technologies: A pencast!
That’s right, Michael’s online article included a pencast of Mueller explaining the SpaceX engine his team designed, and how they did it!
A longtime fan of pencasts, Michael wants to know: Should Popular Mechanics include more pencasts in their stories? Let the editors know by adding a comment to his story!

So how does it feel when Pulse is named “my new favorite gadget” by James Fallows, acclaimed author, former speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter, and correspondent for The Atlantic? Good enough to brag about!
In an article for The Atlantic, James asked, “Where was this thing when I got started in journalism many eons ago???” He added, “being able to use this device as of 2009 is a lot better than never having found it at all.” Thanks, James!
