Today we’re talking about secret space shuttles–seriously!
If you had $500 MILLION dollars to spend going anywhere in the solar system (rocket not included), where would YOU go?
Space exploration is a geocentric endeavor. Everywhere we look in the solar system, we learn something new about Earth.
On this episode of AirSpace we’re spotlighting the heroic service and enduring legacy of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP.
Odds are, if you lived in a city, you saw more stars in the classroom—or a planetarium if you were lucky—than by looking at the night sky (and if not, we’re jealous).
In the final episode of season 2, Emily, Nick, and Matt discuss the implications of tardigrades on the Moon, and why scientists are working hard to ensure that microbes from Earth aren’t contaminating our search for life in the solar system.
Emily, Matt, and Nick will talk to experts who know just how dangerous cumulonimbus clouds can be, and explore the story of William Rankin, who found out firsthand.
You’ve heard about a gastropub, but what about an astropub?
Hawking’s contributions to science centered on his search for a unified theory of the universe, but his impact spanned far beyond the scientific community.
In this special episode recorded at SXSW, Emily, Matt, and Nick recount stories of failure and how they’ve inspired a whole lot of success in science and space exploration.
Our intrepid hosts explore the legacy of the real Rosalind Franklin, who helped us understand life on Earth, and the future of her namesake robot, who is going to search for signs of life on Mars.
Hosts Emily, Matt, and Nick will explore how scientists have adapted to the challenge of working on “Mars Time.”
The criteria to become an astronaut has evolved over the years, but it’s still one of the toughest jobs to land.
In this episode, we’ll learn how pilots train to get out and back down to Earth safely, and we’ll hear from someone who did it (upside down, at 23,000 feet!).
Space agencies from around the world are explored, including a mission from Japan’s JAXA that just arrived at an asteroid after a 3-year, 2 billion-mile journey…and that’s not the half of it.
This episode is about what changed when spies upped their game (literally), rising into the sky.
This episode is all about orbital debris, a.k.a. space junk – where it comes from, how we’re trying to solve the debris problem, and what happens when it comes back to Earth.
In this episode, Emily, Matt, and Nick take a look at how the pros fight wildfires with everything from large water-carrying airtankers and helicopters to daring smokejumpers who parachute into the blaze equipped with axes, shovels, and chainsaws.
Emily, Matt, and Nick reflect on the Teacher in Space program, the lost lessons, and the impact Christa McAuliffe had on a generation of students, teachers, and astronauts.
In this episode, we talk deep-sea diving, marine microbes, prog rock, and ocean worlds.
