Опубликовано 7 октября 2019, 14:00

We review the new science fiction space film Ad Astra! Ariel and Norm are joined by Dr. Douglas Vakoch, the President of METI (Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to discuss the film's portrayal of space travel through the solar system, astronaut psychology, and what commercial spaceflight could look like in the near future.

Spoiler warning: we discuss many plot details about the film beyond what is shown in the trailers!

Doug's book, the Psychology of Space Exploration, is available for free download here: nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/hist_p...
