In this episode, we ask: Should the first human mission to Mars have an all-women crew?

In our first episode, we ask: What can a distant asteroid teach us about the history of our solar system?

Cady and Andrew talk with Lindy Elkins-Tanton, the leader of NASA’s mission to the asteroid 16 Psyche.

Planets get all the good press; asteroids often seem anonymous. But 16 Psyche is a unique metal world that may hold secrets to the history of our own planet. Also, Sounds of Space.
