Josh is not a coffee drinker, so instead of a &#8220;coffee break&#8221; he takes a walkabout the UCF campus with his colleagues. The wide-ranging conversation on these breaks, from the latest astronomy news to the latest developments in science fiction were so much fun that Walkabout the Galaxy was born.
