Flinders University has launched an "archeological experiment" on the ISS to determine how astronauts interact with their surroundings in space. On this week's Space Connect Podcast episode, Adam Thorn, Bella Richards and Liam Garman discuss what this study is all about, and how it is considered archeological.
