S4 Ep 11: Lost in Space


Listen Later

Welcome to the Lost In Space episode! This week we talk about space machines that have gotten misplaced in space. First, we talk about  Voyager 1, the 46-year-old NASA space probe that reached interstellar space before it stopped communicating with the Earth, and the 25-year-old spy satellite that disappeared. Then, we chat about the folks who got stuck on the International Space Station for over a year! And we get into outer space questions like “What does Space Force do?” “What beloved snack has made its way into outer space?” and “What would have happened if the moon landing didn’t go as planned?” We answer all of these questions and more in this episode!
