The 9pm Artemis II and the Space Cockroaches with Dr Alice Gorman and Rami Mandow

As I post this, we’re supposedly just hours away from the launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission around the Moon. So what better time to chat with space archaeologist Dr Alice Gorman aka Dr Space Junk and astrophysicist Rami Mandow?In this episode we talk about that mission, but also flag some of the problems, including the various laws and treaties relating to the Moon. Also, cooking in space, drugged-up spiders, the recent total eclipse of the Moon, tightrope walking, and cockroaches.This episode was recorded on 11 March 2026, so some of the topical references are slightly dated.Full podcast details and credits:https://the9pmedict.com/edict/00265/Please consider supporting the the current crowdfunder:https://the9pmedict.com/relocateOr if you miss that or prefer to not use GoFundMe:https://the9pmedict.com/tip/https://skank.com.au/subscribe/
