Moon cities, space hotels, rocket explosions and the race to beat China | Unreported

Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On “Unreported,” Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery, we investigate. In this episode, Meagan sits down with one of the most respected voices covering America's era of exploration, Kristin Fisher, host of “The Endless Void” and the daughter of two NASA astronauts. Together they examine what NASA's lunar base plan actually looks like, what the Blue Origin explosion means for the modern space race, and why the U.S. and China's race to the moon's south pole may be the most consequential geopolitical competition of our lifetime. Fisher also breaks down why the Artemis rocket is a "Frankenstein," why NASA's growing dependence on SpaceX should concern anyone who values transparency and why she believes disclosure of advanced technology could make traditional rocketry obsolete entirely. From lunar lava tubes to the Van Allen radiation belt debate, this conversation covers the full frontier.#NASA #BlueOrigin #ArtemisFOLLOW MEAGAN!https://x.com/Producer_Meaganinstagram.com/ProducerMeagantiktok.com/ProducerMeaganWatch Kristin Fisher here: The Endless Void with Kristin FisherFollow Kristin here: https://x.com/KristinFisherCREDITSHost: Meagan MedickExecutive Producer: Andy Gipson, Meagan MedickSegment Producer: Christine JenkinsonAssociate Producer: Will TomasiEditor: Anthony DiasioNewsNation`s Unreported with Meagan Medick is built on the idea that some of the most important stories are the ones that don`t make the headlines.
