In this episode, Dava Newman, MIT Media Lab and former NASA Deputy Administrator, explores the impact of discovering evidence of past life on Mars, how we've ensured that everyone gets to experience what space looks like and how space exploration has made us so much more appreciate of our own spaceship, Planet Earth.
