When Do We Move to Mars? (or the Moon)

Nayeema sits down with space architect Ariel Ekblaw to ask: will my kids commute to the Moon? Why are we privatizing everything in outer space? And did SpaceX just turn space travel into … FedEx? Ariel is a Yale and MIT-trained founder and CEO of Aurelia Institute focused on space technologies including autonomously self-assembling space stations and future space habitats. And if all of this sounds trippy … we agree. Check out the episode! Also on the agenda: space hotels, moon vacations, AI data centers in orbit, whether Elon Musk might secretly be an alien and why astronauts cry when they see Earth from space.
