Few things captivate the human imagination more than space exploration. The vast, largely unexplored expanse above our heads leaves us wondering many things, not the least of which is, if there’s life elsewhere in the Universe.
You’re invited to join hosts of the new podcast Giant Leap, Joey Lovato and Taylor Wilson to screen a brand new episode that includes a conversation with former commander of the International Space Station (ISS), Chris Hadfield. Following the episode, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with Joey and Taylor to discuss their interests in science and their plans for the future of the Giant Leap podcast.
