How do astronauts handle conflict in space? I chat with James Bevington, an engineer turned astrobiologist, to find out. James is a researcher in space life sciences who in 2017, as Commander of the NASA funded Mission 5 for HI-SEAS, carried out an 8-month simulated mission to Mars. He and his five crew mates lived in complete isolation on a barren landscape, and their only contact with the outside world was through messages with a 40 minute communication delay.

Misc. with Michaela Skovranova

Ever wondered whether astronauts argue in space? What it feels like to win a gold medal? Or if robots really could take over? Join me, James Hill, as I spend a little time speaking to interesting people about their perspectives on the themes, ideas and experiences that challenge them - in the hope that they will challenge you.Email: themiscpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
