Are we setting our sights too far with our interplanetary ambitions, or are there more pressing issues on Earth that demand our attention? Join host Deep Shah, along with guests Nakul Malik and James Austin, as they explore what drives humanity's journey beyond Earth and discuss how space technologies could revolutionize sustainability closer to home. Should we redirect the vast resources spent on space exploration to address more immediate concerns on our planet? Tune in and decide for yourself whether humanity’s future lies in the stars or here on Earth.
