Dominico Giacobbe is a spacecraft mechanic working on the Artemis moon rocket, NASA's next manned spaceship to the lunar surface, and more importantly one of my best friends. We discuss the ineffability of the universe, the purpose of life, morality, the relationship between empathy and love, spirituality, the ways in which the ideologies we might hold now may be viewed as wrong from the perspective of future generations, political polarization, technological advancement, reconciling the belief in extraterrestrial life with religion, and more. Thanks for listening!
