What is terraforming? What does it look like? Why should we focus on fixing other planets instead of Earth? What value do we place on other planets' environments? Will humanity destroy another environment?
In the first episode of The Sound of Space Season 3, we investigate terraforming technology and the ethical concerns it sparks, including why we prioritize changing other planets when Earth deals with environmental issues. Come along as we delve into terraforming and the ethical questions it brings up, from our interest in other planets to the importance of preserving untouched space environments.

For a space mission to be successful, there are thousands of things that have to go right; but for a space mission to fail, only one thing has to go wrong.
In the sixteenth episode of The Sound of Space podcast, we discuss the causes and outcomes of well-known space exploration mishaps such as the Apollo 13 rescue, as well as the Challenger and Columbia shuttle disasters. We also discuss some lesser known failures attributed to things as simple as missing a hyphen in a piece of code, using mismatched calculation units, or even installing rocket navigation hardware upside down. Join us as we bring to light some the less proud pieces of space exploration history and learn about the changes that were implemented as a result.
