🔬 NASA Just Selected 41 Companies for Moon & Mars — Plus Fossils That Rewrite the History of Life on Earth
About this episode
NASA has selected 41 companies for lunar and Martian technology development while significant fossil discoveries are reshaping our understanding of life's history on Earth.
NASA has selected 41 proposals from 37 companies to develop critical technologies for long-term human presence on the Moon and Mars, while also tapping three commercial partners for new lunar missions launching in 2028. Meanwhile, Perseverance just hit a jaw-dropping milestone on the Martian surface after five years of exploration. Back on Earth, 567-million-year-old fossils are pushing back the timeline of complex animal life, and scientists uncovered a 5-million-year-old whale graveyard beneath the Indian Ocean packed with evolutionary clues. We also dig into what chimpanzees reveal about humanity's ancient obsession with crystals, a potential breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment, and why your childhood soda habit might be affecting your heart right now.
