*Spoilers for Strange New Worlds Episodes 1-4*
Want to know how NASA approaches its away missions to Mars and beyond? Do spaceships actually fly that way? Would it make those sounds in a brown dwarf? Robotics engineer and TOS fan Kim Steadman will tell you how! She is one of the engineers for the Mars Rover program, and she does interplanetary away missions daily! Join us as we talk about "Ghosts of Illyria", how she was inspired by science fiction to become like Hemmer, and how she faces actual problems when thousands of miles away.
