About this episode
The International Space Station (ISS) has been the first successful step in long-duration human operations in space. If astronauts are to travel eventually to Moon, Mars, and deep space, technical capabilities must be developed beyond those demonstrated on ISS. This is one of the priority goals of the Gateway, a facility and human operations site in the vicinity of the Moon, which in addition offers multiple opportunities for scientific programs that require the presence of astronauts.
Please join our Hangout, when our regular moderators, Tony Darnell and Harley Thronson will discuss with Nicole Herrmann and Ben Bussey, both of NASA Headquarters, current plans and schedule for this next step in humanity’s journey into space.
