About this listen

It's the beginning of a new golden age of space exploration. Finally, humanity is taking the commercialization of space to the next level-mining asteroids. The new gold rush of the commercial space era has begun.

Another commercial venture, an attempt to put a hotel on the Moon, is seeking the space tourism gold of the ultra wealthy. And it seems as if the dream of finally sending people to Mars is finally going to happen using a ship propelled by a powerful nuclear rocket.

But space travel isn't cut and dry, and there is nothing routine about it. In order to mine an asteroid the goal is to bring it closer to Earth, but orbital mechanics are tricky and close to Earth proves to be far too close for comfort - with looming destruction from space about to become a grim reality. Now astronauts, scientists, engineers, and people in all the burgeoning space businesses must team together to stop the asteroid before it is too late for humanity and the planet it calls home.

It was a very good story that explained why space exploration is hard but not impossible. I enjoyed the history of space exploration and how we have hurt ourselves by being short sighted with the way we have been doing it. The technology that is use and could be used was eye opening to me and how tech that is used works its way to the world as a whole. I’m sure you will enjoy the story and it will probably get you to think about how we do space exploration and what we get from it.

How and why space exploration is hard not impossible.
