Description

A live recording of the UK’s most popular space podcast. Hosts Izzie Clarke and Dr Robert Massey, plus producer Richard Hollingham, are joined by UK astronauts (including Tim Peake) to discuss the benefits of sending humans, rather than robots into space. What are the limitations of robotic spacecraft? And could AI astronauts soon do a better job than humans?
