Mission: Interplanetary

Humans are becoming an interplanetary species. But as we continue to push the boundaries of space exploration, we must also contend with new sets of questions, challenges, and opportunities that come with our ever-expanding reach.

The new podcast from Slate and ASU’s Interplanetary Initiative, Mission: Interplanetary, looks at those big questions and ponders the glimpses into the future that lie beyond the bounds of Earth. Join us for a launch event with the podcast’s hosts, Cady Coleman, Andrew Maynard, and guest Jim Bell, as they examine the landing of the latest Mars rover, Perseverance, and expound upon the unique visions of those working to take us to new worlds. This event will be streamed through Slate Live.
