This is Rocket Science

Follow the TRS crew as we force random pedestrians to answer questions about space!

In this episode, we take a deep dive into astrophysics: the beginning and end of the universe, the age of the Earth, and how to wrap your head around the concept of a billion years. Plus: stargazing with Sanya! (this is an official plug for the Columbia Astronomy Club)

Today we've brought our favorite sci-fi movies to the table: Interstellar, The Martian, and Arrival. In this episode we pick apart what science fiction can tell us about humanity, religion, love, and our place in the universe.

An aerospace engineer, an astrophysicist, and an ex-law-student-turned-data-scientist take us through a fascinating discussion about space mining, space garbage, and space science. You came to hear about space, right? Join us for this first episode of the all-new Season 4! Music used is Space Jazz by Kevin MacLeod.

In this episode we decided, for some odd reason, that we should play a game of poker with the live studio audience where the winner of each hand would ask a question about space. We discussed topics ranging from our favorite stars to the possibility of life on Mars - we hope you enjoy!

Episode #3 of Season 3. In this episode we scan the space subreddit for topics that are of interest and ramble nonsensically until we decide we have wasted enough of our viewers precious time. 

In this episode we discuss what terraforming mars would look like and the difficulties of space mining. We also talk with the audience about the movie Ad Astra and the different Hollywood representations of the final frontier. We hope you enjoy the episode!

In this episode, the first episode of Season 3, I ask Chad Anderson, the CEO of Space Angels, questions about investing in the space market, the defense industry, and Elon Musk. 

For our Season #2 Finale we wanted to give the listeners a chance to hear about the behind the scenes work we do to produce and publish our podcast (it was during finals and we just didn't want to write a script so we did this instead). We hope you enjoy the episode! 

Episode 13! In this episode we talk about the recently taken image of a black hole, Sagittarius A*, and take some questions from a group of prospective students visiting Columbia University. Hope you enjoy the episode!
