Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, and living on the moon and Mars won't be easy. This week we talk to Pascal Lee, planetary scientist, polar adventurer and chief of the Houghton Mars Project Arctic research facility to explore how living on other worlds might be accomplished. Also, it's busy at the Kennedy Space Center, the Mars Helicopter Ingenuity snaps images of Perseverance's landing gear, and a recent flyby of a massive asteroid, saying, "I'll be back!"

Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik
