Ep. 24 Dr Cassandra Steer

Cassandra is a mission specialist with the ANU Institute of Space, a senior lecturer in space law and a highly acclaimed author having delivered papers on topics such as The Weaponisation of Outer Space: Ethical and Legal Boundaries and Feminist Perspectives on International Security. And....she's a Wonder Woman obsessive. 

It's a fabulous combination!

If you are at all sceptical about space funding and its benefits, listen to how completely and utterly dependant we are on space for our day to day lives and that without such ongoing funding, chaos would ensue. And very quickly. You can also hear how NASA attempted to show their hand at diversity in the space program with an all female space walk on International Women's Day...only to discover they didn't have enough of the right sized space suits. Seriously. 

It was an informative, fun and really interesting conversation - head to the link in our bio and have a listen.
