In this episode we look at South Africa's steady relationship with astronomy.

We ask what has studying the universe ever done for us! We talk to Sarah Wild, Science Editor at the M&G, about the status of the SKA telescope. Astronomers pop in to explore with us the history of the Big Bang. We'll look at the music stars can make and if your next holiday will be in space.
