Lil Sips: Space

This is the audio version of our Lil Sips Episode on Space! It is the same as our video episode on youtube, but contains more banter and less pictures. Karina discusses the history of animals as test subjects during the Space Race and beyond. Randi inspires us with the story of the Mercury 13, women who paved the way for women to go to space. Christina shares some weird things found in Space while Greg gives us the details on the Fermi Paradox.
