#69 - Dr. David Warmflash - Let's Rover the Moon!

Episode 69 features Dr. David Warmflash. We discuss what will be achieved in spaceflight in the next decade, how commercial spaceflight will develop, the Columbia disaster, and how we can prevent people from getting duped by pseudoscience.  Dr. David Warmflash is an astrobiologist, space medicine researcher, author, and science advisor to the new startup "Let's Rover the Moon." He was in the first cohort of NASA astrobiology postdoctoral trainees and has collaborated with The Planetary Society on three experiments that have flown a variety of small organisms in space.
