Ep 32: How Do We Actually Do a Mission to Mars? What Will It Take?

We are joined again by Big Brain Smart Head Bob, America's Favorite Rocket Scientist, and we discuss the very hard problem of getting to Mars.  Along the way, Zach and Rafe learn about lunar resources and gravity wells, develop a plan for a new energy drink (Lunar electric water!), and discover a whole new respect for the field of Botany.Remember, if you have a question for Bob about going to Mars, send us a note at [email protected] and we'll make sure that Bob provides an answer!*****As always, you can reach the Buf at [email protected]*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!
