Mission: Interplanetary

Is Space Mining Really Viable?


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard about space mining from science fiction. But in the absence of “spice” (Dune shout-out!), what will we actually mine in space? And where? And how? Cady and Andrew talk with space engineer Chris Lewicki about the future of off-Earth mining. Also, the problem with vinyl, novel uses of space flooring, and Sounds of Space. 

This week’s Sounds of Space comes from the great folks at SYSTEM Sounds.
