More landers are going to the Moon; maybe TRAPPIST 1b has an atmosphere after all; Perseverance climbs up to the rim of Jezero Crater and a supermassive black hole rolls over onto its side.

How bright would the Moon be if it was covered with ice not regolith? How does spaghettification happen near black holes? How will the human body adapt to Mars's gravity after the long journey? Answering all these questions and more in the Q&A show.

Ion engines can be a very efficient way to travel not only through our Solar System but even beyond. What kinds of ion engines are there? How are they different? What kind of missions can we expect? Finding out in this interview.

Will we have a space base on Phobos? Will hibernation help us to cope with long-distance space travel? How will Starship be returning from Mars? Answering all these questions and more in the Q&A show.

We finally learn why Ingenuity crashed. Gaia is nearing the end of its life. NASA is planning cargo deliveries to the Moon. And a twin of the Milky Way, seen in infancy by Webb.

How can one fight light pollution? What will happen to space exploration in our modern political climate? Why doesn't Venus lose its atmosphere without a magnetosphere? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

How don't comets lose all their mass really quickly? Where are all the photos of the Milky Way from the ISS? Can you reach out from orbit and poke a black hole with a stick? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

Black Widow pulsars consume their partners. But if there were advanced alien species, it could be a perfect way to produce energy and move the stars around. They could also use pulsars as a global galactic navigation system. How exactly could they achieve it? Finding out in this interview.

Trump announces his choice for the new NASA administrator, we’ve got a new date for Artemis III, Venus might have never had liquid oceans, and finding habitable planets around white dwarf stars.

Does building more JWSTs for different parts of the spectrum make sense? Are star types predetermined at their birth? Can you cook a pizza on the Sun? Why is the Sun's corona hotter than its surface? Are there binary supermassive black holes? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

Who will pay for the next-generation space stations that follow the ISS? How much do rockets pollute? Did James Webb make the observable Universe bigger? Answering all these questions and more in this Q&A show.

Dragonfly is taking a Falcon Heavy to Titan, What’s inside Uranus?, Russia’s cargo ship delivers a stinky smell to the station, and testing robots to go under the ice on Europa.

Why don't comets run out of "tail fuel"? If Voyager crashes into something, can we tell it apart from a regular failure? What are the chances we will drive into a lava tube? Will satellite communication become dominant at some point? Answering all these and more in this Q&A show.

James Webb recently detected a new kind of exoplanet. It's a steam world. How did they find it and what does it mean for the future of exoplanet search? Finding out in this interview.

JUMBOs, Jupiter Mass Binary Objects. Over 500 of them were detected in the Orion Nebula by JWST. But where did they come from? How did they form and why are they in binary pairs? My guest has a good guess about it.

Where will the money come from for the next generation of space stations? Does NASA have plans for a gravity tractor experiment for the Apophis flyby? Which part of the Milky Way can we see? Can there be different types of black holes? Answering all these and more in this Q&A show.
