SUPPLEMENTAL
EPISODE
Alex talks about life, searching for jobs & how quickly things can change in just a week.
He also thinks out loud about how living on a spacecraft for 6-8 months would be like. He discusses the potential problems mentally, spiritually & inter-personally. He then talks about the potential of putting humans in stasis, or in this case Torpor Hibernation.
Prepare to think deeply about whether you're ready for a trip to Mars...or hear a person think out loud for 50 minutes.
