Short Wavers, we hear your requests. You want MORE! SPACE! So this is the first installment of a new segment
focusing
only on space news. First, we talk about the new sci-fi film
Project Hail Mary and the accuracy of the science in the movie. Then, we move on to data centers in orbit, if they are better for the environment and why even send them up into space. Finally, we round out the conversation with a quick update about the upcoming Artemis II launch. The space nerds assembled for this conversation are host and astrophysicist
Regina G Barber, known space enthusiast and host of
All Things Considered Scott Detrow and NPR science correspondent
Geoff Brumfiel.
