Arctic upgrades on the ISS and human missions to Mars
About this episode
The episode discusses NASA's Quantum Lab and the potential for human missions to Mars.
NASA’s Quantum Lab is about the size of a mini fridge, but it allows NASA and international partners to study some of the biggest physics principles. By studying these atoms at these freezing temperatures, scientists can better understand how subatomic particles work and behave throughout the universe. Plus, human missions to the Mars could soon be a reality.
