Looking Forward into the Past Podcast

Science Of Love Podcast

In this episode of the Highliner podcast hosted by Sam Boyce, ex-astronaut Don Thomas discusses the feasibility of human life on Mars, which may become a reality in as soon as the next few decades. More importantly, however, Thomas examines the emotional toll people on Mars would experience, explaining the 15 to 20-minute delay in communication between Earth and Mars, and reminiscing on his own feelings of isolation and detachment that he felt when he was on space missions. In an exclusive account of life in space, Thomas brings listeners a unique and personal narrative about the universal human desire to be connected to others.
