Next Stop Mars

Episode 22 of G’Day Mate with Evan and Tom is launching into orbit. This week, the lads dive into humanity’s bold quest to colonize Mars: from the cutting-edge tech making the journey possible—like autonomous robotics, 3D-printed habitats, and radiation shielding—to the wild challenges waiting on the Red Planet. They explore everything from life support and terraforming dreams to the psychological toll of isolation and the ingenuity needed to grow dinner on dusty soil. It’s a no-holds-barred look at how we might build a second home beyond Earth—and what it really means to become an interplanetary species.
