STP129 - Can Artemis Save The World? - Lessons From Apollo
We recently asked our Patreon subscribers for some topic suggestions and this one came to us from Dakota Wachter:
"Looking back at that brief moment on international Human Unity the evening of 07/20/69, what do y’all think the Artemis landings will do for international culture, peace, and unification? What will Mars? How can we use spaceflight as an avenue for peace across Humanity in the next few decades?"
So today this week, we're going to share our opinions on that subject. Don't forget to get in touch to let us know what you think.
