To The Moon and Beyond! - Ep 24

In this episode of The RedMars Podcast, we’re going full Moon mode! 🌕💥

Join AstroJake as we dig into the wild world of ISRU – In-Situ Resource Utilization – and how it’s shaping the future of space exploration. We're talking about turning Moon dirt into power systems! Yep, you heard that right.

From NASA's big push to use local resources in space, to Blue Origin’s Blue Alchemist program literally cooking up solar panels from lunar soil simulant, we explore how these technologies could power a future Moon base and even support long-term missions to Mars.

Plus, Jake shares some behind-the-scenes insight into his own Masters Capstone project – a concept for a Lunar Prospecting Mission designed to hunt down the Moon’s hidden treasures.

If you're into space tech, Moon missions, or just love the idea of making stuff from Moon dust, this episode is a must-listen. Hit play and blast off with us! 🚀
