This week on Blue Dot, we talk to Dr. Jennifer Heldmann about the surface, water, and rocket fuel on the moon, and how it might become a staging area to send humans to Mars. We hear from Dr. Pamela Clark about the versatile tiny satellites we’re sending to space — in particular, the ones that will go study the moon.
We also talk with Frank Sinatra biographer James Kaplan about a song that has a very Lunar history.
